most of that muck is off the belt, get a cheap digital caliper and measure the belt is still in spec. also the rollers are consumables, they're cheap so just replace them.

Hello sir! Should I start with this one as a beginner or do you recommend the CB500X first? :) Great video! Great bike!
@Crohniebiker7 күн бұрын
@uncleNito Hi , both bikes are very good and quite similar. Either bike would be brilliant as a first big bike. The CB is better for gentle off road but the NC is better at cruising on the faster roads with bags off torque. Although it's a bit heavier than the CB you can't really tell as the NC carries it's weight lower down. Both bikes are incredible on fuel too. I'd suggest going and having a sit on both and that may help you decide. Thanks for watching and good luck 👍
@uncleNito7 күн бұрын
@Crohniebiker Thank you very much for the detailed answer and the recommendation. I will do just that and decide which one feels better after sitting on both. Have a great evening and weekend ahead!

@anb2456 hi, Roadsync is just a app that let's you connect to the bike to control basic functionality but you don't need it if you prefer not to .it's just an option if you want it .the bike will work the same without it .hope this helps 👍

Ok thank you very much indeed for your reply. Here in Thailand, Roadsync for some reason seems to be more expensive, with fancy gold wheels. I will purchase just the regular 350. What a beautiful scooter the ADV 350 is, my favourite of all. Great suspension, balance, riding position, sound

For reliability concerns. I am an owner and my bike is 13k now. 2022 model. No issues upto now. Only annoyance is shift lever is too close to the peg. With boots hard to change. Other than that no rattles no loose nuts. Even no slack on the chain. Easy to maintain. I do it myself according to manual. And every 600 km oiling the chain. I mostly greenlane. Recently did a 4500 km tour. 6k rpm 90 km/h, 7k rpm/100 km/h. If you go always over 6k rpm. Consumption is not less than 4 litre per 100 km. Below that and greenlaning it is mostly 3.5 liters.

Good tutorial. I got mine, used 2022 (standard transmission), about month ago. It came with the Honda centre stand. Actually it came with many extras - Givi windscreen, OEM engine guards and auxiliary lights, Barkbusters hand guards, OEM heated grips, USB C plug, 2 Hella very loud horns, OEM panniers with LED position/brake lights installed + OEM luggage rack. It’s getting colder here so just today I installed connector to my heated gear as well as another one for battery charger. Already got top case. Still going to get accessories bar, adjustable wind deflector, front fender extender and rear hugger, kickstand foot enlarger, tire pressure monitoring device and considering aftermarket cruise control. After 2000km I’m pretty happy with it. To my surprise in twisties it behaves even better than my Tracer 900GT. Much more fun on gravel roads too.

Nope. 3 grand for a Pan which does exactly the same job, minus the DCT, but is infinitely smoother and has bags more character.
