Yours is the best video yet on Stelvio, but I am glad that I actually rode it before watching. Otherwise I think that I would have chickened out! At the time, I was 76 years old, riding a Moto Guzzi V7. This was the ideal bike for me, because I am also short at 5 ft 8. It is just as well that Guzzi’s have strong clutches, because it got hammered, and I rode mostly in first gear, never got past second going up. Cyclists and camper vans were the ‘enemy’ , but I refused to stop for them, because I am sure that I would have dropped the bike. Much use of friction zone to keep it moving forward at all costs, hence the smoking clutch… I am glad I did it, but never again! (too old now, anyway, but I am having a go at Rajasthan in India on a Royal Enfield soon). I expect challenges dealing with traffic and cows, but hopefully no hairpins.

Trikes should be able to carry 2 passengers.

Σε ευχαριστούμε για το review φιλε μου. Ειμαι σε αναζητηση set για touring μιας και μετα το διπλωμα κατεληξα σε adv μηχανη και ειναι ωραιο να βλεπεις προιοντα απο Ελλαδα

Ομορφο Βίντεο με πολυ καλό μοντάζ . Το δάσος στα Κανάκια είναι ο μεγαλύτερος πνευμονας τις Δυτικής Αττικής Την επόμενη φορά που θα ερθετε να μην ξεχασετε να περασετε απο τον Ναο Του Αγίου Δημητρίου μέσα στον οποίο βρίσκεται ο Ταφος του Γεωργίου Καραϊσκάκη του Ανθρώπου που απελευθερωσε τα χώματα μας .

Very useful and helpful!

Which gear for hairpins, first or second with clutch?

Rode the Stelvio a couple of weeks ago, I'm not very experienced, big tall bike fully loaded, short legs . I've dropped my bike before so i am paranoid about it. I must admit after the first few hairpins i nearly gave up and turned around , it was quite terrifying, i've never had cars coming at me mid turn like this. I made it to the top by doing what you advised, moving far over to the left and letting the traffic pass inside of me then preoceeding when the bend is clear,

Great video. I did the Stelvio last week and was warned…so I was cautious. Nothing to prove just fun riding and enjoying. As said, great video and great tips!

Thanks for the tips! Personally I did some training before riding in Alps (not particularly related, I just wanted to be a better rider) and because you can kinda compartmentalize, so I was able to apply what I learned. One commenter who said he got too cocky - yes, that can happen, it is necessary to always think what could happen. That's why I prefer to leave a space before going to the turn, so you don't have to react at the last moment; and to go in wide, leave at the right border - to avoid anything that may come the opposite way, as some people ride in the middle and seeing someone ride/drive at you is the worst thing that could happen. And it is not possible to see them as you could stationary traffic. Stay concentrated and I hope you and everyone will be able to enjoy the mountains!

so you say cars should not be allowed to drive stelvio and you clown yourself are not able to clear a turn on your side of the road, you are a complete joke!

Thank you.

Nice video i should have watched before i took Stelvio last week. Unexperienced rider only driven heavy bikes for 3 years.Made it all the way up and stopped for the view at the left side before the top were others also parked.When i backed out to go the last 100 yards i failed to get enough torq on the bike and the bike tipped to my right.I managed to keep the bike from touching the ground and others came to my rescue, Thanks .It was actually Okey to make the turns but sometimes really scary when incoming traffic was to heavy.So glad to done it anyway.Thanks for the video.

idiots ond bikes😊

Very helpful, thank you

I rode the stelvio yesterday with my 2012 streetglide and sure it is a bit more challenging with a 400kg motorcycle but not impossible

Thanks for the upload and sharing your most welcome advice on riding techniques. I enjoyed it a lot. But you won't see us riding it. We like to avoid these places. it's massively overcrowded . Causing a big nuisance for everybody, especially the locals. No fun at all. 😔 We should have done that 20-30 years ago when motorcycling wasn't that popular yet. Nowadays everybody seems to ride bikes.( and go skiing in the winter, for that matter, same story) And all over Europe roads are closed for motorcycles because of this nuisance. We prefer the far less crowded open roads. Nevertheless thank you for letting us experience it without actually being there

Καλημέρα. Στο τέλος του βίντεο αναφέρεις κάτι για βίντεο review για την επισκευή της ανάρτησης αλλά δεν βρήκα κάποιο βίντεο με αυτό τον τίτλο... Άξιζε τελικά η επισκευή; (χρήματα, ποιότητα, αντοχή στον χρόνο) είναι πολύ χρήσιμο το βίντεο σου για όλους τους κατόχους bmw μοτοσυκλετών με esa.

Unbelievable footage🙌

Amazing filming (how do you do it?), and informative at the same time. Many thanks.

hi there! thanks for the review, and nice bike. i've got a question. How was it during the rain? does it have ghost touches due to water?

Hello can you tell me how to export a route from MyRide app via gpx file to my garmin drive 53? I have tried everything , it doesn’t t work maybe you can? This in advance efaristo

where is the windshield? :)

All respect to Stelvio hairpins. But, the road leading up to Stelvio is of high quality, the asphalt on the hairpins is excellent. If you want to see a challenging alpine road with very little maintenance and very narrow hairpins, look no further from the road on the Croatia’s Biokovo mountain. There’s a road within the Biokovo Nature Park leading all the way up to the summit of the Biokovo mountain. Summit is called Sveti Jure (Saint George) and it sits at around 1750 meters above sea. It’s a very steep, karst, rocky mountain separating Adriatic Sea from the Croatia’s interior. I’ve been up and down that road many times. We’ll see how it compares to Stelvio.

i ride a Harley and a gsxr 600 i use a go pro 9 i bought a wind slayer and the wind noise is still bad

Преведите текст помоћу камере ....I installed original fog lights on my BMW k25, but I can't code them. Can you show me how to turn on that option?

👍👍👍👍

Good video and great advice. Thank you.

this year I plan my 50th ride over the stelvio. this year not with my brave 900s, but with a royal enfield himalayan. whenever I drove this pass, I only had pure fun! I recommend that everyone is there very early and best of all this week. at the weeks it is simply too crowded, and the different possible speeds of bicycles, cars and motorcycles make too much stress for everyone. and when you see one of the mountain buses come - make it space. a grateful bus driver gives you a laugh and sometimes a loud signal :-) Don't look at your watch - get some time and enjoy this adventure. it's too bad if you don't see anything...

Thank you for showing this. A couple of things I would of done differently. I wouldn't have left the calipers dangling without support. The other is I would of tighten the bolts diagonally. Thanks again

Thank you Steve you are a great help. I replaced both my tyre sensors with a new type. I did as you describe and set all tyre pressure sensor`s til 000000. Used my TMPS EL-50448 on front and rear wheel, and ID popped up for both sensor`s. After a short ride 5 km tyre pressure was displaying again. Thanks again for a easy and quick way to solve this type pressure issue :)

I wonder if you could do this plugged into a iPhone 15

👍😸👍👍🏍️🏍️

I drive the Stilfser Joch (passo stelvio) regularely since many years, earlier with my GS 1200 and now with a GS 1250 but I apply a totally different technique in the right turns (the left turns are easy anyways with all the space in the world if not an "open-upper" comes head on). Since the GS is so agile - remember its an Enduro Bike!! - in right turns, I stay completely on the right side and never open up prior. Its not necessary. The bike turns basically on the spot and you can pull it around with minimum turn radius. This way you basically have never to be concerned about approaching traffic not even busses or trucks. Because of the hairneedle nature of the curve they cannot cut it to the left and have to stay way right. Before the guys behind are finished with their open-up manouver I am already at the next hairneedle.

Καλησπερα Steve.το δουλευεις ακομα το tom tom ?το 500 έχεις;σκεφτομαι για αγορα

great vid, helped me to choose and buy motoscan instead gs911, there is a cheap handheld tool to wake upt TPMS sensor (RDC) , about 9€, so you can wake up sensor without need to drive bike at all, and you can also wake it up and pair and test if it works BEFORE you install it in tyre . so it can save yo ua lot of hassle :) google for : EL-50448, orange thing

Today in heavy traffic bike was a little better with the rear cylinder off when stopped but not perfect

👍👍👍🏍️

I made some leather like heat shields.. 09 FLH and it raped over right underneath the seat. Worked well

👍🏍️👍

Hi, great tutorial, does it work between 2X and spirit ? they both mention "sharing music streaming" but when i connect via apps it's just disconnect the Channel and i lose music + voice.

Hi, is it possible to reset the tyre pressure without the OBD? Mine keeps flashing 1.8bar on the rear.

Harley Davidson in Athens a day ago connect the ABS missing plug, replace the brake fluid’s and repair a broken cable, ABS works perfect now, thank you guys 😊

Το βρήκα φίλε καλά χιλιόμετρα και πάντα όρθιος

Καλησπέρα φίλε μπορείς να μου δώσεις κάποιο τηλέφωνο απο τον μάστορα που έκανε επισκευή την ανάρτηση σου, σε ευχαριστώ

It's been rainy and windy in northern Europe for a week -_-. My brand new bike that I got yesterday is sitting in my garage just waiting...

dam..... those are very big weaves....

If I have 10 people in my group how do I share the music ? Can I do it while riding

Thank you Steve. This has been very informative.

Neet .. tx for sharing

Hi Steve - What an absoultely fantastic place to own a Harley. And the cafes on the water - wow! Thanks for taking the time to post. From a wet London, Steve
