I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand the question... if you install the fuse block to the bike's kill switch, you are tapping into the bike's wiring. On the other hand, on the fuse block you have the option of having the accessories always on, or just on when the bike is running, so effectively, you can use it straight to the battery and have the accessories running only when the bike is in use. I hope it helped.

Hi. What do you mean by white dork protectives?

@@BNAdv sorry, I meant the white fork protectives, the ones with letters GS.

@@EidurMotovlogs The complete front from this bike is KTM, so the fork protectors are KTM, and the decals are custom made. Hope it helps

@@BNAdv ohhhh, that makes sense! Thank you so much for the information! I will have to work on a new idea then! Enjoy your bike and good luck buddy!!

Hi! Thank for reaching out! No, my dream continues very much alive, but the travelling dream, definitely on hold. I've been teaching ADV riding since 2012, and in 2018/19 when I came back from the first part of the trip, a few things happened. I realised that the trip as it was going, wasn't making me happy, so, definitely an issue (I'lll finish it, but in a much different way). I needed money, so I went back to what I knew, teaching. Since then, opened my school in Portugal BN Adv, wrote my first book about the basics of ADV riding (working on the paperwork to start selling in English as we speak) and had 2 kids. So dreams are still getting ticked, but some are on hold. I definitely want to start filming again, have a few pages of videos I would like to get done, but it's not high on priority right now, and sadly. Sooner or later, you'll get to see my face on the screen again :)

@@BNAdv Thank you for your answer. Indeed, some time the life is going in one direction and our dreams remain behind. When children's appear in our life the priorities are changed. I wish you all the best, on your personal life and business. Don't strop dreaming and adapt always to actual situations. We will be very glad to see you again here on the channel with new adventure who can inspire us.

I bought it from Brasil, from a company called Gilimoto

Muito obrigado pelo comentario e pelas notas. Tenho ideia de ter partilhado essa informação toda ao longo do tempo, mas é uma realidade que pode não estar facilmente acessível. Podes ver todo o processo de construção da mota aqui: www.advrider.com/f/threads/my-f800gs-10-years-anniversary-build-thread.1279101/ - ADVRider F800GS 10 Year anniversary. Tal como podes ver na Building the Ultimate BMW F800GS RTW Bike - ADV Pulse - www.advpulse.com/adv-bikes/rtw-bmw-f800gs-bike-build/ Espero que ajude ✌

@@BNAdv já vi todos os vídeos 😉 e não consegui identificar nenhum link para compra dos mesmos daí ter dito aquilo já vi todos algum tempo mas de longe a longe venho rever já que não tenho possibilidade de fazer e ter uma mota desse tipo venho cá matar as saudades adoro este tipo de conteúdo e parabéns mais uma vez nao pares 🙏💪

E afinal desconhecia esse blog e aí consta todas as alterações é verdade peço desculpa, e esta unica sem dúvida problema é se tiver de vender pois é uma mota cm tantas alterações que será difícil realizar manutenção raiz se é que me faço perceber pk será tudo MT diferente mas pronto é o que é o meus parabéns pela coragem e dedicação 🙏💪

@@RT72223 ela por acaso está à venda :) mas na realidade a manutenção é muito simples apesar das modificações. Existem algumas peças que foram feitas de propósito para a mota, mas essas não requerem manutenção visto serem estruturais. O resto é KTM, BMW, ou marcas aftermarket que seriam instaladas em qualquer mota de qualquer marca. Assim, a manutenção é simples, e quando a preciso de levar a um mecânico por alguma razão (já que sou eu que faço a maioria da manutenção) basta avisar que esta ou aquela peça são esta ou aquela referência, e fica automaticamente resolvido :)

@@BNAdv sério espero que seja por um bom motivo a venda da mesma, adoro MT a BMW mas é bastante cara comparando com outras marcas tipo Honda e etc então é difícil por mais que goste MT de ver trocar de marca por esse motivo e alguns mais motores MT barulhentos e vibratórios , qual máquina está a pensar ir buscar e qual o motivo da venda já agora pois está aí um projeto 5 estrelas MTS horas para montar isso

hey! I bought it from a company in Brazil, called Gilimoto. It doesn't fit perfectly, there is some love that has to go into assembling it, and the fit in the end is not a dream. I have another friend with the same tank, and both bikes look the same. That being said, it is 22.5L, so... I never managed to get the last 2L or so out of the tank, as those sit lower than the pump, but that is still 20L of usable fuel (for me, my friend never complaint about that) so that is a huge increase over stock.

you need repair ecu denso unit and gear position sensor vomon problem on xt an mt03 660cc engine 🎉

I'm sorry, I have no idea where it may be on that bike :(

funny you say that, I would love to have the KLX300 😅In the end, the best bike is always our bike, everything else is just screensavers 🔥 I'm also a huge advocate of pivot pegz, I recommend them on almost every adventure class I teach

Get the tube inside the tire before zipping. Then you start by aiming the valve, before any other part of the tire. Like that once you cut the ties, all the parts are in place.

Hey Orlando! Sorry, I'm not familiar enough with the yz to even try to ballpark an idea :(

Thanks for the words. No, no vibration at all, but I do have my 800 extremely altered as you can see. What many times happens with the 8GS, is the forks not being in the right height in the tripples, I found many like that over the years, so it is definitely worth having a look at it.

KTM is generations ahead of the GS...the suspension is phenomenal, the power delivery is extraterrestrial, the engine is alive and makes you smile (instead of being dull like the GS)...the KTM eats the offroad as the GS owners eat pancakes in Starbucks... The point is the GS is good at a certain age when you actually just want to chill and let the bike rides you because you get tired quickly....

Thanks for the words! For sure, the correct spring rate on progressive springs and setting it up with the right oil viscosity and level for your objectives is a game changer. Even if you already have progressive springs from the get-go, getting the suspension professionally tunned for you is some of the best money you can spend on a bike IMO. Plus, suspension decay is progressive, so you just get used to the bike getting worst and worst without you feeling, so even without any changes just having the suspension serviced is an insane update

@@BNAdv I will get to it then. Thank a million

Hello Alex, That one is pretty much stock, other than suspension changes. It doesn't take much for those big machines to go off-road, even when racing. The ones used by Tony with the AT, or Tarres with the T7, well, those are one offs, but for the normal Joe racer, they preform really really well.

@@BNAdv thanks for your reply! Stock susp is doing the thing for me. It's a shame that you cannot play with with different settings like on KTM bikes for example. But my main concern is clutch. We've burned already twice. And there wasn't really big reason for going down.. cheers

@@advbikejunky I personally don't like the 850 stock suspension, and neither did the racer that took this one to the baja, reason why it was changed. The clutch, I never heard big issues, but more and more as a seasoned off-road instructor, I find that is something basic courses sadly don't zero in. have you tried advanced off-road trainings and to talk to your mechanic to see if its a machine issue or user error? I hope you don't take the question wrong, I am far from trying to point out issues with your riding.

@@BNAdv normally I ride 1200gs both road/off-road, no issues. Regarding 850s, we have 7 of them. 2 of them used for off-road trips time to time. During one ride my colleague burned the clutch on uphill. I didn't see anything outstanding while he was going uphill. Did a couple "burnouts" and then clutch was dead. Mine almost died while pulling the dead bike to asphalt. Nevertheless it took both of us to the van. Also the same bike already had issue with the clutch. It sucked water while river crossing. Nothing serious once again. Both incidents were cought on a camera and we've changed both clutches at bmw via warranty's. After the second burned utch I ordered aftermarket clutch. Haven't tried it yet though. I'm new to big bikes but have 3 years of 250 enduro experience on my back. I'd loved to update my skills Witt big bikes but there are no such for adv in Bulgaria..

@@advbikejunky thanks for sharing that. I would love to know the main issue, it's always great to learn those strange mechanical quirks. In Bulgaria, I can't help, but if you guys even wanna do some training in Portugal, I have 10 years of experience as an Enduro and Adv instructor, having been certified by the EAT, and with my own school in Portugal, www.bn-adv.com. I'm sure that we can work something out for you guys or your clients to take advantage of training here with overall great weather all year round, great food, and insanely good off-road all around the country 🔥

That's interesting, why the change in mindset regarding flats? Just a normal growth and understanding of the dangers in place, or was there something different?

Obrigado pela paciência em teres esperado por uma resposta, ela ficou completamente perdida. Bem, a melhor maneira de evitar essas situações menos bonitas é claramente com formação, por isso se quiseres, eu sou formador certificado em Enduro e Adv, podemos sempre combinar qualquer coisa na nossa escola no Alentejo :) Quanto a tracks, eu gosto de usar o Wikiloc. Aconselho a que procures por tracks específicos para motas, e que evites os de bicicletas, pessoas, ou mesmo jipes, já que podes encontrar algumas zonas bem complicadas ou mesmo intransponíveis. Aconselho-te também a que procures só mapas recentes. A Europa têm cada vez mais fechado caminhos de fora de estrada, por isso caminhos antigos podem facilmente já estar desatualizados. Dependendo do pais onde quiseres fazer terra, podes também dar uma vista de olhos pelo TET, e pelo ACT. O ACT não existe em todos os países e tende a ser maioritariamente mais simples, o TET está por toda a Europa, é constantemente trabalhado, e conta com uma comunidade (no Facebook por exemplo) muito coesa de malta que está sempre disposta a ajudar, seja com problemas ou com informação. Espero que ajude, e claro, boa aventura!! 🔥💪

The blue one is an XT660R, and the white one is an F800GS we custom-built. The BMW built is available on the channel, and the bike is actually for sale now

I'm sorry, its a 4 year old video, I can't find a working link any more. My advice is to get in touch with your local dealer.

You should!

Thanks for the share! Everyone that I've met over the years shares the exact same feeling, trouble to fit, but worth considering the fuel capacity and the price. Still worth it, the XT holds on as an incredible bike!

@@BNAdv iv had quite a few bikes over the years , and only brought it as one ☝️ of my new bikes was out of action and was only going to keep it shop term BUT liked it that much I kept it , only had 5000kms and a 2014 model . It came with Arrow pipes - a bit loud , privet pegs , bash plate and rear rack . I done ✅ the following: 1. Modified a SWM Superduel screen and put on 2. SWM high front fender - removed the original 3. Braided lines & Castrol Reactive brake fluid - massive difference on the brakes 4. Adjustable levers 5. Mounting point for twin USB plugs 6. Heated grips 7. SM- Motech crash bars 8. SWM gear lever - it’s longer 9. Up ⬆️ on tooth on front sprocket ⚙️ Probably more but that’s all I can think 🤔 off 😂😂😂

I respect, I just got a custom exhaust line, feels like a twin cylinder now... Guess I can never sell it 😂

@@BNAdv Yes 👍 the amount of money 💰 we spend on bikes is a bit crazy 😜😂😂😂. I also will be holding on to my XT for some years now .

I'm sorry it didn't work for you. I would suggest going over the process again to make sure it's all on point, and if not, sadly contacting a mechanic to evaluate the situation further

@@BNAdv okay thanks

Well, I’m not making anyone blow anything 😅 I clearly say that people should take their bikes to a professional for engine tuning, that this video is intended as a guideline for people to become aware of the concepts and know what to investigate more, and that the 14.7 is a mathematical value. Now, I also say the 14.7 its not the AFR you want for your bike, and I even show an image of an engine map set between 13.8 and 13.3, for instance, so.. I’m unclear on where I’m going to make people blow their engine 🤷‍♂️🤔

I'm sorry, I'm not that familiar with Aprilias, I wouldn't even know where to start coming up with ideas :( Hope you solve it fast enough!

At the time I installed mine I did look into that one too, but I couldn't confirm if it would work with BMW's Cam Bus, so I ended up choosing the one I have. Still I did heard great things about the PDM60, and I'm glad it woks great for you! Thanks for sharing 💪

Thanks for the words Daniel. Can you clarify as to what you mean by trigger wire?

@BN Adv Sorry I meant to say connect to a switched power source. Can one source say break lights handle multiple taps.

@@BNAdv I took a chance, I managed to Splice into the USB port the motorcycle brings. So easy I couldn't believe. It was harder to to snake the wiring harness.

One of the reasons why these kinds of fuse boxes are great is that you tap directly into the battery and the fuse box works as the switched wire. With this particular box I can choose if the accessories are always "live" or if they only work when the bike is on. On my XT the box I have does not do that, so I do have a relay connected so that the box only makes the accessories live when the bike is running, but that is bushcraft mechanics 😅 In theory, you can pull energy from wherever you want, but do be careful. The wire from lets say the break light, or the USB port are not designed to handle the demands of several accessories connected pulling energy from the same source. I've managed a garage for a few years where we focused on adv and enduro bikes, and multiple bikes showed up over the years with completely burned down electrical systems because they were running accessories from spliced light or horn wires, and the system purely caught fire. Luckily I've never seen a bike consumed by flames due to that, but I believe luck was the reason as the wiring was toasted. So you can pull power from anywhere, but I can't advise it.
