According to owners manual for this bike, the chain slag must be measured on the side stand, not center stand. The bike sag a bit in the suspension while leaning on the side stand. Otherwise great video.

Nice chain guard. Which brand is that?

Great video! What kind of tent were you using for motocamping? Which is your favorite tent?

Hi Brownie Great video - I’m thinking on buying an F800GS Adventure - how did you find the vibrations on your bike on long highway runs particularly on the handle bars? I’ve read the vibes can put your hands to sleep after 30mins - did you find this? Many thanks Peter

G'day mate seems I'm going to have to get one of these. What year model bike are you riding and is it theadventure model?

Why have you stopping doing your bmw adventure videos 2 years ago are you ok

I started much like you. I took everything, 'because you never know'/'get you out of a pinch'. I even took a torque wrench! Then I realised that I only needed the 8/10/13/17 sockets, not the whole set. I left the magnetic pick up at home when I realised my fasteners are stainless steel. D'oh! I left the crescent wrench at home when I realised it was too big to get on any of the fasteners. I left the complete set of Allen/Torx wrenches at home when I realised I only had 4/5/6/8mm bolts on the bike. I realised I had taken tools simply because there was a place for it in the too roll. Saved myself nearly 8kg. Happy days.

Ripper vid, give me some great ideas, love the clothing bag double sided is a ripper, is that a home made thing or shop bought.

Nice. I'm thinking of getting one of these for my sports car that I store in the winter. Would be so much easier to take this battery out of the vehicle and trickle charge at home during the winter. Expensive AF, but if it can last 10 years.. it would pay for itself.

Just want to verify too, that XL80's are bright beyond all expectations. I live in the deep forest, where at night, the towering pine trees suck away all light in the area, and take the pitch black of night to a whole new level. Living in the forest as well, are deer, elk and other small animals that like to stand on the road. Ordinary high beams are not enough to spot these dangers in time. Installing only two XL80's, and using them as high beams at 100% power, they turn the pitch black forest into daylight. Deer and other animals can be spotted at great distance before disaster strikes. The combination spot/flood are ideal for road. The wide dispersion of the light is good for about 500 meters to the sides. The spots illuminate reflective road sights out to 3 kilometers, wood power poles can be identified out to a little under half a kilometer and everything in front of you is crystal clear visible! Insane bright!!!! They do however need to be switched off immediately to an oncoming driver, as the XL80's to the other drivers are almost comparable as looking directly at the sun. ( and to think, Baja Designs LP9 lights are several times fold, brighter than the XL80's!)

Your Content is very Good Brownie !!

Worst chain build ever. Very noisy and slaps on every bump even when tighten right at the right free olayy

Thank you

Hi Brownie 👋 I had David from Stotts Engineering put me onto your videos after enquiring about Baja Designs lighting; said you had a few lumens on your bike. I'm based in Mount Sheridan and have a 97XR400. Would you like to go for a beer / ride / weekender trip in the bush, and maybe I can learn a few tricks and tips from you? -Cody

I'm headed over in Sept. And love your videos...please keep them coming. Also I agree with others...exact details of everything you take would be helpful...I hope to do a 20 questions interview with you when I cross , I will be in AU 1 year ...cheers MotoCoco coming soon ! Lol

Ps I have family in Cairns area. That will be my hub.

I like your videos....I'm heading to OZ later this year for a year long solo female moto tour all across your amazing country....I'd love to get in touch and pick your brain lol... best wishes, keep up the videos ...

I’m about to go for a 3000 km ride in Western Australia, two up, and was wondering how I would fit all the gear on, but your video is very inspiring - amazing, how much stuff you’re able to take - axe, drone, spices, and a table!

Thanks for the review. Just a question, how for down the road do you think they light up?

Awesome review mate very well presented. I came across the vests by hit air hit which are great but now considering picking up the whole jacket which works out cheaper rather than getting a jacket from another brand + hit air vest since I just got my bike licence. I'm surprised there is not much content with the hit air products so you did very well. thanks again and keep safe. greetings from NZ!

Good day to you! I am a senior rider on HONDA motorcycle from Japan. I am enjoying camping ,touring and upload video. Your adventure video is so nice! Awesome! Full supported ! Have a nice day my friend!

What a great video cheers, properly seemed to enjoy yourself.

Interested what app your running on your phone. It had your speed-gps looked like messages and music.

Another great video!👍

Fabulous! Loved the drone footage👍

LOVE the solar panel mounted on the hard case!👍👍

Very useful video! Thank you. I’m sitting on the fence between a Garmin Zumo XT and an Android device with DMD2… I used to be indecisive but I’m not so sure now!😂

Good on ya mate! 👍

Wow, love the Cinematic look of this Video. Looks like you had a great time mate, well done :0)

Nice video, love your minimal setup 🎉

Hope you have been doing well. My partner and I binge watched the videos of yours and we are inspired so much. We hope your well haven’t heard from you. :(

Brownie I'm going to hope you win the lotto and can retire early and start making videos again 😄

Miss these videos ! I remmeber watching your tate river video and now ive had some special memories there. Thank you for your videos mate

Sloppy roads are all the same no matter what part of the world you ride in. Beautiful scenery. Beautiful country.

Any fish in that river? Is it cold water or warm?

You have your gear laid out much like I do. Lol. I carried an extendable magnet like yours. Decided I didn’t need it during a recent trip and the one time I needed it it wasn’t with me. It now lives in my tank bag.

I’m catching up on several of your videos. Been AWOL for a while. Life has a way of getting in the way of fun. Australia is one of the few places to visit on my bucket list. Do it on an adventure bike would make it that much more special. Looking forward to you showing us more of your beautiful country.

You might consider a portable electric bear fence when predators abound. A compact 2.4 lbs for huge peace of mind.

Awesome review......very insightful :)

Hello mate Thanks for your video helped me on my way coming back from Senegal in Western Sahara.

With me, you're now @ 900 subscribers 🙂 Good on you mate!

Love your work Brownie. What’s the screen and bar on your bike. Doesn’t look standard

Hi Brownie, This is meant well, but not complete. Your chain seems too tight now (as Lasdosmoto said). Luckily your chain was within spec after putting the bike on its wheels, but it could have easily gone a different way. Drive shaft bearings are easily ruined by a quick -on the fly- chain adjustment. The forces applied to this bearing are enormous by a too tight drive chain. Hope you're open for some constructive feedback. To my knowledge you should rotate the chain first to find the spot where the slack is the smallest. Chains and sprockets usually don't wear even. Then put the bike on the side stand en measure the slack. Then adjust and repeat until it is within spec. It can be tedious, but it is important. Because a tiny turn on the adjusters have great effect on the slack. Finally it is good advise to lock the wheel nut pushing forward. Pushing it into the adjusters. Or even better; also tighten the chain by pushing gently it down e.g. with your foot, while locking the wheel nut. (instead of pulling backwards also pulling the wheel backwards and tightening the chain out of spec). And do a safety re-check of the slack when everything is locked, tightened and ready. Cheers and Thank you for the vids. I enjoy them!

Hope you’ve been keeping well mate and thank you for taking the time and effort to make all these videos. Cheers.

top !!!

Nicely edited, relaxing 👍

Sturt's desert pea. Same explorer as the Sturt Highway. Great trip. Look forward to your next video.
