Africa Twin 8000 miles service

[@teodochi]

We're waiting for the next Africa Twin video (sprak plugs/ valve cleareance/ coolant change/ brake pads/ fork/ wheel bearings/ head bearings etc). As I see, they are the most watched videos on your channel :D you do a great work there.

[@AlbesADV]

Thank you, they will all come as the bike requires them, for now I have OEM heated grips and barkbusters coming 😃👍

[@bennyvazquez3547]

Your video is so helpful and inspiring. Im finally picking up my Africa Twin today. Thank you for sharing!

[@AlbesADV]

You'll love the Africa twin, it's a great bike 👍

[@HeathBarbierPhoto]

Another fantastic video Albe! Thank you!!!

[@AlbesADV]

No problem bud. I'm spending a lot of time in Portland lately for work and I wish I had my AT with me , enjoy the summer 👍

[@gameplayingtime1690]

Thanks! When the spark plugs?

[@AlbesADV]

Thank you. Inspect the spark plugs every 16000mi (25600km) and replace every 32000mi (51200km) unless they give you troubles.

[@gameplayingtime1690]

Thank you for the answer but my question is when the video for the spark plugs

[@AlbesADV]

😅 oh, in about 6000 more miles, so it might take a few more months

[@Igor_chak]

How many spark plugs does the Africa 1000 CRF have?

[@AlbesADV]

Albe don't you reset the computer via OBD or anyway?? (First DIY service comming soon and I've doubts)

[@AlbesADV]

No OBD needed, you can reset it directly thru the menu 👍

I really don't understand where they get prices from! I have a k&n panel filter in a wj 4.7 v8 motor. Cost £26! K&n 2 small filters I was thinking maybe about the same......no! £200!!!! Wtf?

[@AlbesADV]

I agree, that’s why I ended up using the Honda OEM, as incredible as it seams we live in a world where the OEM filter is 1 third than a k&n or the other hi-flow filters. WTF!!!

[@terrystratford1235]

@@AlbesADV apparently the oem restrict the air flow? With high flow filters it would need a retune. Only £700 for dct model! So ofcoarse a different silencer for sound, looks and maybe 2hp! A big problem with performance air filters is the holes between the weave is larger, possibly allowing dust into the system!! Or too much oil on the filter which gets sucked in and damages bike!!! 😅

[@AlbesADV]

I've been using k&n for years out of convenience, just like the hp increase the damage from dust getting thru is negligible, but fot that price I'm more than happy to keep buying oem 🤣🤣 The AT has plenty of power for what I do with it 👍

[@terrystratford1235]

@@AlbesADV I agree! Like I said, I have kn in my jeep, instant notice better intake noise! My 1987 gsxr 1100h has a cone kn and man that sounds and pulls like a mf!!! The cost to put kn on the AT with a silencer and a tune is about £2000! So for me, not worth it! Plenty of grunt and a great sound standard!
