Hi thank you for you video! Any other ideas to squeeze pistons?

@OldTomRides 18 күн бұрын

There is probably a specific tool to compress the brake pistons, but on a motorcycle they're so easy that I just do it the way I showed in the video. For car brake pistons I have a specific tool because the pistons are larger and require more pressure to compress. But the tool is too big for my 390.

Hi, what part number did you use for the rear?

@EastTexasADV 4 ай бұрын

50lbs of gear, that's insane.

I had just watched another video on how to do this and it looked a right work up. I'm so please I found your vid. Thanks Tom. Dutch in UK

Good info Tom I’m gearing up for a fly fishing adventure tour on my WR! Question: what’s your opinion on the Mosco Mule 40? I’m a minimalist and think that the 40 w a Klime backpack should be sufficient. I haven’t purchased it yet, still doing a little more research. Thank you, Dave

@OldTomRides 3 ай бұрын

Sorry for not seeing your comment months ago. I think the Mosko luggage is awesome. The quality of their gear is excellent and they stand behind it. I'm not sure I can comment about it working as a minimalist, because as you can see from my video, I'm not. But I don't think you'll be disappointed using the Mosko 40.

Hello, thank you very much, this is a very practical solution. Many motorcycles could take an example.

Hi. Excelent vídeo!!!! Do you believe that if you additionally eliminate the resonator it would also increase the exhaust sound too much?

@OldTomRides 3 ай бұрын

I had a WR250R years ago that had the spark arrestor removed and it was quite a bit louder. I put it back in because it annoyed me so much. I prefer quieter bikes for the most part. That said, my brother removed it on his 390 and it didn't change the sound much at all.

I came looking for the steps to access the power port... check. Despite the fact that it's been flaky from the beginning, I was planning to simply replace the "cigarette" port. I didn't know about the PowerLet option. Thank you!

How do you not burn your stuff with your exhaust pipe?

@OldTomRides 3 ай бұрын

Mosko provides a shield to put on the exhaust to help keep it away from the bag and it actually works. But I also mount it such that it barely comes into contact with the shield. I've never had a problem and I've used it on the WR250R in this video and the KTM 390 Adv that I currently own.

@@OldTomRides yeah I've got one too but yours look way bigger. I'd like to buy one but didn't find it on its own.

@pianosfilipem Жыл бұрын

I mean, even if it sounded as good as a new exhaust system, it stilll looks so ugly that it needs to be tossed

Thanks for this, Tom. Really helpful. Curious if you are using OEM filter and where you prefer to buy them from?

@OldTomRides 3 ай бұрын

You've got me a bit stumped. I did buy an OEM one, but I can't recall where at the moment.

@tbm275 Жыл бұрын

Looks like it may be similar on the 900R model, with the exception that the silver tank plastic may be under the side plastics and that they'd have to come out as well

Hello, I just received these boots yesterday. I’m a long time street rider, although I did have a V-Strom 650 for many years. I haven’t used them outside the house yet but this is my initial impression: in comparison to my old Sidi street boots these will take some getting used to. They are heavy, clunky, hot and very stiff. I tried to get my toe under the shifter and it was very difficult. So I loosened up the buckles as much as possible and it may be okay, but still difficult. I’ve read there is no room to move the shifter up (and still function) on the new KLR650 but I will try. The boots are very sturdy and light-years ahead of my old boots in terms of safety. I wear a size 9.5 US, and the size 43 fit perfect, with lots of room for my toes to move up and down. My biggest concern is they will be too hot, my socks were damp after wearing them for less than an hour in the house. And, I live in the Phoenix, Arizona area so…hmm.

@OldTomRides Жыл бұрын

Yeah, if you're in Arizona where the weather gets REALLY hot, then a boot that breathes more might be better. It's true that I haven't worn them in excessively hot temperatures, so I can't speak to that. But I've never had a sweaty foot problem before.

That's not bad at all. I hope the new F900GS air filter service is similar!

Hey quick question, is this only for the XR or does the f900r work the same way?

@OldTomRides Жыл бұрын

As far as I know the filter replacement is the same for both models since they are very common. However, I don't know that for sure.
