I've been doing all my tyre changes for a number of years now. Changing tyres is easier if it's a warm day, or if you warm the tyres up before doing the work. I've got a simple bead breaker machine, so that's never a problem. Zip ties work really well - the more you change tyres, the easier it gets, but don't try do the work when the tyres are really cold....they're a b*stard to work with when cold !!

Hi Mark I have been watching your videos from the start of your z900 until your new 1200 how do you find the triple compared I am going to road test a speed triple this week anything I should look out for ?
@bikerevz25 күн бұрын
Hope you enjoyed the test ride on a Speed Triple. The extra electronics are great to have and not too much so I like that aspect. Then of course that power which you might not fully appreciate on a test ride. I'm still getting used to it, the speed and excelleration on this thing is simply immense.

Great Video mate! On my third year with my 1200rs and love it more every day! I got a cheap tail-tidy at first (can’t remember the make) but found it looked well…cheap! Ended up going for the Evotech which looks absolutely perfect and as if designed for the bike in the factory. Don’t go for a cheap rad guard as some can restrict airflow, which for a Euro5 hot running bike is not ideal. I also PPFd my black one as modern paints an be a tad shite! Regarding the bike… I had some problems at first which have all been fixed by the recalls and under Warrenty. Had over 7000 miles of trouble free madness since then. Subbed your channel and am looking forward to some more 1200rs reviews ‘n’ stuff

I'm lucky I have famliy in the IoM so get to see most of the racing, TT, Southern 100 and Manx GP. Recomend you go to see the Souther 100 a lot less people so the roads are empty the racing is excellent round the Billown course. Once you been to the TT you will always want to go back.

You definitely need something to protect the 'corners' of the tail plastics. Either a strip of tape along each edge or just throw a soft cloth over the tail before fitting the bags.

I have a disc lock and stand puck.

You are missing the elephant in the room...... You've just spent close on £200 for both front and rear stands. Plus you gotta be in location where those stands are to use them. As you stated, you don't track, rather bop about the country roads etc.... oh, that elephant.... get a center stand and you can do virtually all work on your bike, no matter where you are (you ain't carrying them stands about when out tootling in the lanes). I can see a racer using these paddock stands, but not a regular Joe-Shmo who requires a stand (side or center) for normal usage. That being said, thanks for demonstrating how it (front stand) works.

The hubs and I also used Duke Village this year - 3:44 2024 - great accommodation , great food and wonderful staff! Too bad it rained so much this year . That being said, for our first time to the iconic race had a wonderful time . We were able to get some photos with more than one of the riders and even got a free lift home from a local one evening! Good stuff ! Spent a fair amount of time looking to KZbin for info and there just wasn’t enough about Duke travel as far as what to expect so I’m happy to see what you have here in your video!

Great insight from your visit. You're right about booking early, if going by bike you need to book ferry tickets a year in advance. Next year's tickets went on sale on May 20th and probably sold out within a day or so. This year's weather wasn't great so it's best to try and go for the full week or so to allow for delays. If the weather plays ball there's time off to explore the island. The videos and tv coverage are brilliant but nothing beats actually being there.

Thanks for this. I’ve had my Z900 for a year and haven’t adjusted anything. I saw a Dave Moss video too and am now aware that o could improve things massively. Thanks for the straightforward approach. It’s given me the confidence to have a go. 👍🏼
@Wasabi-oneАй бұрын
Dave is awesome to learn from. Z900 is easy to set up. My ‘17 had the front rebound way too soft so I had to go all the way closed and rear so hard went all the way open. So rear will get ok as oil wears… front will need thicker oil. Too thin from factory. There’s an option for rear to install ohlins factory shock from the special edition 900 bike. Great for using with a passenger.

The SE is Not ment for commuting. It's a sport tire with touring ability. Go for the harder regular tires,and you'll have less issues. I have pulled power wheelies on M9RR's if pouring rain on 2 of my bikes (ZX10R and S1000R). The Angel ST is basically an old and wors version of the Angel GT, but are more than capable of commuting. I'll be checking that review.
