Don't forget Rider Modes! 🤓☝

I apologize for the confusion, my channel is Singaporean based. Prices are in SGD based on local market prices. I went through the video and realized I didn't add that line in when I was recording my lines.

@@ReizePrimus Now I understand, thank you. You did a very good job summarizing the new DRZ, by the way.

someone else did a video on the new 390 at the big show and pointed out a lot of quality issues you could see in the overall finish and build. If they sell em cheap im a bit concerned they'll build em cheap, time will tell but they look like fantastic bikes.

Personally in my opinion, if money is a bigger issue than performance, the Himalayan is going to be way cheaper for only a bit less performance. Less things to break on the Himalayan. You also don't need to buy an extra main stand to DIY your tubes. If you want to do slow muddy roads, Himalayan also feels better. More predictable and gentle throttle. But otherwise in terms of straight up performance the 450 MT is just better.

@ReizePrimus ty :) for weekend rides and occasional touring nepal is mostly gravel/rocks and mud roads...good highway stretches are limited. And the after sale service for cfmoto is concerning to me since they have only few service centers in nepal (probably just 4 in the whole country) whereas RE is all over. Im sold at less parts to break since i plan on keeping this bike long term.

I was thinking the same. 450mt looks and feels good but himalayan seems to be much more nimble for daily commuting. Yet I think it is losing the fun factor a bit, compared to the 270 twin sound and feel. Anyways, at the end I decided to keep my crf250 till the apocalypse :D However as you know bikers tend to switch their bikes continuously. Therefore it would be wise to obtain a motorcycle with good service background, thus it would be easier to maintain or sell later. Other users will focus on service availability most of the time. Probably best question that comes to mind, "Which bike should I buy?" :) Good luck on your decision my friend.

Not a bad idea if they want more top end for less acceleration. But probably better to drop 3 teeth in the rear sprocket though, can save more weight on a smaller rear.

@ReizePrimus 3 teeth abit too much.the rpm cant pull power thru means the ratio abit too much but maybe can.hvnt heard anybody do it coz changing the front way easier than the rear.i ride my frens 450 to melaka...if i can rmmber 120kph was at 8k rpm.abit too high for cruising i guess.some change to 15 front but it juz goes down to 7k rpm.anyways its an oversized dirt bike or medium adv off road bike.not intended for long highways

Hmm, doesn't sound right. Stock is 47T(R)/14T(F) = 3.357. If we go up 1T on the front for 47T(R)/15T(F) will get a ratio of 3.13. So you can also get roughly the same ratio with 44T(R)/14T(F) = 3.143, so not too much. But its the same I guess if front sprocket easier to change, I myself like to cut more weight so my own preference is I'll cut the rear rather than add more weight to the front.

agree on this. i rode it to Melaka for the break-in, and it sits 102km/h at 6k rpm (recommended limit for the first 1,000km). after an hour or so, the noise (engine + exhaust) is a bit much. ear plugs definitely recommended.

In 6000-7000 revs this bike feels home Fuel consumption at 6000-7000 are the lowest Its strange But it likes hight revs No vibration also

Yeap, for a 450 it is super cheap. Even the KTM 390 Adventure costs $16,500.

Thanks a ton

@@Theseanbei if you are 25 years old and older and have an IDP. Its not an issue in almost any country part of the IDP program.

Fair enough, I'm not particularly stoked by so many new bikes having phone connected applications, or even Ride by Wire. It is nice to have...until it doesn't work. But having started out on carburetors, I personally would never wanna go back to that at the least.

Glad I could help!

@@Motorgrapher no probs, was great to cya man!

Lol, someone sounds sibei salty 😂

@@nilnil8072 haha yea it was!

Haha was so surprised to see you otw there, such a coincidence sia!

That certainly could be a good unintended effect of using the locknut. But just putting out there that as far as all the provided documentation from the manufacturer goes, the design intention was for it to be for anti-theft reasons.

The sensor can be set up without the locknuts, and it still won’t vibrate loose. The locknut is actually optional and just there for an added safety measure if the user prefers.

Good point, but cheaper TPMS options are often inaccurate and don’t give real-time alerts, which is often an issue for people who use TPMS for long distance ride. You'll only require internet connection during the setup, which is less than 5 min. Other than that, you only need to turn on your Bluetooth. As for the dedicated display, I think people who prefer a minimal setup on their bike would find FOBO more appealing without the bulky dedicated display.

I believe the 7-8 TPMS wont Last for the time FOBO will Last. What we pay with FOBO is Quality, reliability and Customer Support. Getting something from Shopee and from China which wont Last for 2 months and accuracy always in question. I personally dont want to put my life in danger with that type of Product, i prefer to spend on FOBO rather than spending on TPMS which need to change every 2 months, yes, probably you need 7-8 in 2 years duration.

The rubber gasket on the sensor side appear to be moulded in, or at least glued in. Pushing at it with a wooden toothpick, it feels like the gasket would tear apart first before it can even come loose.

@@ReizePrimus I see, thanks for the reply!

Looking at the sensor dont seem to be glued but the design in such a way that it wont come easily even you try with your fingers to pull. You probably need to change after 5 years, which completely make sensor as all rubbers get degrade over time specially when using in all Weather conditions.

Hey there, I did one 5 years ago. It's an old video but my views haven't really changed much. Here's the link! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaOlhKNqf7uSp7csi=zUPclOdg1VkIni34

@@800Adventures we use that in Singapore to pay tolls and parking fees via RFID.

@@ReizePrimus oh interesting is it powered via that cable? In Australia we just have a little box you put at the top corner of your windscreen and for a motorbike it isn't required. I'm hoping to get a Papio soon and do a full travel series on it as well ☺️☺️

@@800Adventures yup the cable powers the box! You’re supposed to insert a prepaid card in it that actually is the store of value and the box serves as a reader and antenna. But this one is an older model, the country is slowly phasing it out for another larger model that does both RFID+GPS.

@@ReizePrimus oh that's interesting, these are used in cars as well?

@@800Adventures yup, cars have em too. Construction is obviously different to fit cars, but otherwise the technology framework underlying it is the same.

Err maybe some of them. But most underborne bike which 150 cc is clutch

Desculpe pela tradução do Google se algo no parágrafo a seguir não fizer sentido. A Himalayan 450 também pode ir de 120 a 130 km/h com bastante facilidade. Mas o consumo de combustível é pior que o da Versys, e acima de 110 km/h ela vibra muito mal por causa do motor monocilíndrico. O assento também não será muito confortável em viagens longas, mas acho que é um pouco melhor que o da Versys.

@@ReizePrimus Obrigado pelo feedback!! Foi bom saber sobre o consumo e sobre o banco!! É dificil decidir pela troca. Considerando as poucas lojas da Royal aqui no Brasil, E Himalayan 450 ainda nao chegou nas lojas em lançamento e se precisar de garantia as peças de manutenção são escassos no estoque das lojas. Também existe a desvalorização de valor na revenda de motos chinesas e Indianas aqui no Brasil...
