Nice video, my xcx 800 didn't have the faults yours had but mine is at under 30,000 miles still. Mine had pilly footpeg rubber/plastic broke. You ride a lot :D I almost always ride two up but when riding solo there is plenty of torque. Had mine 8 years, been to NC500 3 times, Normandy, Wales, Yorkshire, Northern and Southern Ireland, Isle of Man every year plus Isle of Wight this year (just about everywhere I can reach). Still love it, I too would get a 900 roadie with luggage. Pilly loves the seats and comfort. I have the standard screen and I don't care/notice bufferting. Never changed the air filter, thanks for the tip. I noticed in 32ºC heat last week the fan came on so I'll check the coolant level again.
@Phil48014 сағат бұрын
Ah yes, worth a check but I think 32º heat is going to make the fan kick in regardless, unless you're on the motorway. Wow, sounds like you've had some epic adventures on your XC! Thanks for watching!

They used to say snowboarders are just rich skateboarders hahah. Would love to try it but there's not really anywhere near me. Being able to ride a skateboard would certainly be a good advantage when learning to snowboard. I imagine the balancing is very similar and carving turns etc.

They went easy on us this year, where they had all those massive stones. Last year (apart from Sunday I think) there was no track there, you had to forge ya own. 18:51 I'm trying to see what bike is that, and what colour helmet, as I see hi-vis and sat down. That's what I was wearing and doing hahaha. Was similar time, as, I went past that ambulance as well, and had to fight my way through that hell traffic of the peasants, I mean, standard weekend tickets. They ended up closing the very last bit and making ya exit at the fence near the entrance of exhibitor trial. It's a great event tbh. If it rains, and grounds soaked, the trial stays open for the mad people. We've been majority lucky past 2 years. Only rained in night once, and never in day. That grass is slick as anything in the wet. I'm looking at going next year as well. Can't get the loyalty tickets, as funds wont allow me. The Mrs might be tagging a long next year as well.

Nearing 100k miles??? I thought 50k was high mileage for a sports bike. There’s one from 92 in my city with 53k. Owner says it’s good condition. I discarded it because I thought it was too many miles but if it’s still viable then i might just reconsider it.
@Phil480Ай бұрын
I guess for most people, 50k miles is a lot for a bike that would generally be used throughout the summer. I was using my GPZ all year round. With regular use and servicing, a high mileage bike shouldn't be too much of a cause for concern. I'd sooner go for a high mileage one with service history to back it up over something that has low miles but has been sat garaged for long periods of time.

It's a bit fiddly but I'm sure you should be able to set it manually via the camera menu using the buttons. I've known the app to not always apply all of the settings that you select, or sometimes changing one setting will also change something else.
