I like reading the comments. Something to note ... Silicone Spray: Please go back to the first video and watch the 6 or 7 episodes on this bike / build to see the beating the Pirelli Scorpion Rally copped. They tyre itself is irrelevant, the relevance is that over those 1500km, the tyre endured race starts, jumps, square-edges, rocks, ruts, 4th gear power slides and high-speed tarmac with luggage. I fitted that Pirelli Scorpion Rally exactly the same way I fitted this Pirelli Scorpion Rally ... soaked in Silicone spray. No rim lock. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKLJoYejrteApZY

[@ericashwell1392]

I've been doing the silicon treatment since I saw your tutorial a couple years ago. Soooo much easier and yes, silicon is good for rubber. Only one question: I've never taken the chance of aerosol around the rotor. Do you bother/worry about that are just give a quick wipe with some alcohol?

[@Klas2hjul]

I have never lubed the tube for just that reason, worrying it would slip and i didn't want to use rim lock. But i'll guess i'll try it next time!

[@jasonhewlett2913]

Will try this just got new tires yesterday but would you bother taking a can of silicone with you on a trip or just a little bit of old fashioned tire lube that won’t leak in your luggage?

[@Gazzatron51]

What about wheel balance and weights? I guess not as critical without a rim lock throwing it out?

[@buy.your.counter.culture]

@@Gazzatron51 That would be interesting to hear. I guess if you run on dirt right from your doorstep its not a big deal, but in Europe we mostly run up to 1000km on highways with 150kph before reaching the destination.

[@polomor254]

Hey fellow motorcycle enthusiasts! I'm from Kenya and have always dreamed of embarking on long bike trips. Unfortunately, financial constraints have held me back. If anyone has a motorcycle they're thinking of giving away or donating, I'd be incredibly grateful for the opportunity to make my dream a reality. Let's connect and see if we can make it happen!"

[@kipper2942]

Beginners remember Adam is a professional rider, goes to hard core difficult places and knows how to pull his bike apart and fix it. If you want to go places like he does, requires a lot of skills that takes a lot of effort to acquire mostly some years. He makes it look easy. For your safety be realistic you will have to work your way up there.

[@daveo9844]

Yes. Gotta contain that excitement 😂

[@CurtisBrandt]

Yeah Adam certainly put in his time. No question.

[@pault248]

I find Adam’s videos both inspiring and humbling. His knowledge and skills are a constant reminder that there’s a lot more to adventure riding than spending money and twisting the throttle.

[@kudosjeg]

You just might find yourself alone in the middle of nowhere, trying to change a tire. I've had adventure tires that I've given up on and had to change the tube the next day.

[@PatSeguin]

Oh yes! I've watched a few of these seasoned guys doing this like it was nothing. My first time took much more time, more sweat, more swearing and more patience. Don't wait till you need to do it for your first time. Grab a beer and give yourself a couple hours and give it a go in the driveway

[@stevieontrees]

This guy is literally changing adventure motorcycle to another level. The ability to ride the bike amazing and be a mechanic AND have the know-how to pack correctly has been the aged old agreements since for ever.. There's no arguments now. Just watch this.

[@joebromberg]

amen😊

[@DK-mo8jw]

@@stevieontrees he’s not changing adventure riding he’s changing adventure riding video content on KZbin. A lot of people have been doing what Adam does for a long time. The difference is, Adam is a bike rider who knows how to do great videos and more. Most adventure rider videos who post on KZbin are good with cameras but know bugger-all about bikes and riding.

[@stevieontrees]

@DK-mo8jw I see what you're saying, but as he is the one putting up the good videos, teaching you how to ride and work on your bike etc many more people that don't know these things are learning. They will take what he's doing and improve it further. Adam is making a positive impact and showing what is possible, yes through his videos. Therefore, the change is happening.

[@xeuse51]

Some tips I learned from working in a tire shop for almost a decade. Lube, lube, lube. Make that bead is as slick as possible for mounting and dismounting. A good non-water based lube when you mount the tire will make it easier to dismount when the time comes. Don't use soap and water. Makes it easy at first but can fuse the bead to the wheel when it dries. When you mount the tire be sure to end at the valve stem, this will help prevent tearing the tube as well. Leave the valve stem out the first time you inflate it, this massively helps seat the beads. Once the bead is seated all round, inflate and deflate the tube a few times with the valve out. This will help in seating so you don't have to leave it at a high pressure for a few days (though still good advice on tubes). If you don't have silicon spray for the tube baby powder will help with tube life as well. Changing tires is something all adventurist should be versed in so I hope this advise helps at least one person.

[@BillyBoblovesthedirt]

Same thing with my missus. Lube, lube and more lube. Before I put my tube in I always make sure it’s semi inflated and lline the valve up. Then pump it right up. 👍🇦🇺💪

[@j0rss]

valuable tips, thanks for sharing

Proper sharp leavers are the key to tire changes. A Ballards valve puller also makes valve insertion easy.

Good idea the axle in the exhaust to prevent sand from getting stuck on it. Nice video, very clear on how to do this 🙂

[@jamesfairmind2247]

Mate, I have ridden all over the world solo, including 23k in Oz.I have never had any problem breaking a bead with Motion Pro bead breaker levers which are made from alloy, and only measure 205 mm in length, and both together, only weigh a quarter of a kilo (.25). I also always carry a pair of Motion Pro Bead Buddy as well (weight for 2 even less at .22 Kilo) and will hold the tyre in the drop centre for you and halve the speed/effort of the job. NO I do NOT work for Motion Pro or anyone else ( actually I have never worked for anyone but myself because I am certain nobody would ever have employed me!). Now I go tubeless with either the Outex conversion or Kineo replacement wheels as in are fitted o my T7 World Raid. Much stronger rims than anybody else makes and unlike the "spoke to the outside of the rim BMW" type rims, these are "spoke mounted outside the top of the rim" and being built from 700 grade aircraft quality alloy are indestructible.

[@jothain]

I bought those. Expensive as hell,but they're truly insanely good with beads.

[@rubendebruijne5170]

Do you bring longer levers to actually get the tire off the rim?

[@MickH60]

7000 series aluminium....😉

[@Crsf84]

@@MickH60Yep, A general aluminum the sales boys love to call aircraft or space grade aluminium 😅😅 .

[@johnstaring3210]

Agree, those shorty Motion Pro light weight bead breaker levers are all I take on a long run (packed inside a length of mountain bike tube), as once the tyre has been on the rim, and run it is then easier to get off. Just remember that if you have balanced the tyre then mark it so it goes back in the same spot.

[@Advcrazy]

Been changing my own tires for years but never realized what the bend was for in that type of tyre lever. Now I see the point. Going to add one to the kit!

[@JBGeoscience]

Fantastic video Adam, and much appreciated. Scientific and mathematical analysis proves that you are unique and that there 'can be only one'. Here is the supporting evidence: 1 in 1,000 can ride like you; 1 in 100 have the mechanical competency you have; 1 in 80 equal your intelect; and 1 in 1000 have your creativity and cinematographic capability. Hence right now there is only one. Thank you!

[@yetiibob8407]

I worked in the bike industry for over 30 years and my favourite tyre levers were the buzetti levers. They have a lip near the curved end which helps you from pinching the tube. Along with a rubber mallet and a metal dustbin you're sorted 😊😊

[@undergroundblu]

Thanks for the tips Adam! I highly recommend you add S.O.S silicon tape to your tool kit. I've used it to patch a tear in my fuel hose. 2 years later it's still going strong haha. It's cheap, stretchy, self-fusing, high temp resistant. Check it out, it's an extremely versatile tape. Cheers and enjoy the trip mate.

[@bernierosow]

Thanks for the tool kit run down. It's hard to balance exactly what you might need with size and weight. A lot of the small things are tucked deep inside this bike. I haven't had to do many repairs in the backcountry yet but it's only a matter of time so getting my survival/tool kit correct is crucial. 🍻

[@GrahamOrm]

I’ve changed a gazillion road race tyres. THAT looks hard work!

[@kurskiman]

That sleeping bag trick was cool👌.

[@bradsanders6954]

I think, its a good way to chafe and wear out an expensive sleeping bag. Putting a 300.00 bag in with other stuff as padding? No, I dont think so. I can see how its functional but it could ruin a bag for sure. I put it in the smallest stuff sack it can fit in, and it goes really small, like the size of a big softball.

[@ubatubaable]

For me keeping the sleeping bag dry is one of the most critical things you can do. I always double wrap mine water tight both times that way if the outer one gets ripped the inner is still protected so I’d be concerned with this method. Maybe okay in the desert but not for wet countries.

[@cfharrier]

For the T7 I added a JIS Phillips socket to use on the T-Handle for all the screws with a dot like the brake fluid reservoir. I also use fuel bladders and use either a carbineer or a ladder strap to hang it from my bars when refilling at the fuel station. I also replaced my valve caps with ones that have a core tool built in. Another great video, cheers!

[@jank-official]

[@spaz6168]

I changed my first tyre on my crf1000 on father's day using this video as inspiration and guidance. One note is make sure when trying to mount the second side of the new tyre that you push it past the bead so there is room to lever the rest of the tyre on.

[@JlbB-r6r]

I watched a video of yours years ago and you used red rubber grease on the inner tubes (I think 1190 KTM but could be wrong) . I did that ever since and I've never had a pinch flat. Silicone spray looks a much cleaner way of achieving the same result. Nice one Adam 👌

[@queenslander954]

Perfectly done & explained , only thing I could think of was shimming up the Cush drive rubbers with square bits of old tubes which never last , and if I could ride like you I’d be needing to do it with every tyre change the video slowed down with thoughtfulness like this shows how doable it is for punters.

[@simDIY1981]

Great video. Small tip: always take some nitrile gloves with you. Keeps your hands clean while wrenching on the road. Can also be used in nasty weather. Carry them under your motorcycle gloves, helping to keep your hands warm. Plus it protects from all the toxins used In engineering. Read the SDS of the product for more information.

[@markhills3922]

What I find with the mates who laugh at us for carrying as many tools as we Might need, even on a simple Enduro ride, is that they always ask if we have the 'widget' they need whenever they have a breakdown, lost bolt, loose widget or just to make a simple adjustment....I always reply with "yep, but it will cost ya a six pack or lunch" to use it; Goes down like a lead balloon but hey, "who's laughing at the packhorse now?"

[@MotologyFilms]

[@manuel3310mv-rm7vd]

Great stuff as usual!!! In my case, I would normally fit the fixed wheel on the bike (still with out air) before starting the engine and pumping with air, just in case the vibration makes the entire thing fall with out a wheel on... specially solo riding. I would inflate with the bike still suspended, but with the wheels fitted on to the bike. However, I never supported the bike on a tree, in my situations has always been on the side stand and some extra log I could find around to suspend either front or rear...

[@christianquintonstyle685]

Thanks for the tips and advise. Great job just being you.

[@peteraugust5295]

One tip I have learned over the years is to multiuse EVERYTHING you take with you. For example I dont pack a ratched anymore. I have a set of matching sockets for my bike, in which I cut a slit. That allows me to use my tire levers as levers for the sockets. I have cut down wrenches and one extension pipe for it. I dont take any spare gas canister, because I always ride with a multi fuel stove anyway. The 500ml-1liter of gas that I have in that is enough to get me out of the worst places where I live. I have taken it so far that I did not bring any sleeping pad but instead slept on my motorcycle gear while I use my back protector as a seat when cooking. I even experimented with sleeping without any gear at all, but figured out that usually it is to cold for that where I live. Otherwise it would absolutely be possible if you are used to sleeping on the ground. Get creative. The less you take, the more you will enjoy the ride!

Hi Adam, nice ideas for packing. I've always been worried to use silicone spray on tyres as I've spun a couple, so I use a lightweight rim lock and stainless spoke weights to counter the rim lock. But I think with the next tyre change I'll give it a go. I bought more merch cos I wanted another sticker to go on the other side of the steed.

[@Simon_Cartwright]

Hey Adam, recently found you and have been binge watching your film and videos. You're truly an inspirational person and incredible rider. I ride a KTM 1290 SAS that I've had from new since 2018 and have done a few big trips which have been the most breath taking trips I've ever done, but it's all been on tarmac. You've given me the itch to hit more dirt. I've just turned 38 and the only off-road riding I've done was as a teenager in flat fields when I was young. I love my 2018 SAS, it's been my dream bike for years, but it's obviously such a heavy bike to take off road when you haven't got the experience. I've been thinking of part exchanging it for a T7 but they aren't too far apart weight wise. But one is more capable that the other. I love travelling light when the misses isn't with me so the KTM wouldn't be too loaded up, much more like your style. And I've also never going to be riding as hard as you so the extra suspension length isn't really an issue in my eyes. Would you have any advice for someone like me? I've been thinking of just banging some spoked wheels and dirt tyres on there and just giving it a go. Because it's the bike I have and the bike I love and I'd hate to see her go! I do my own maintenance and have changed my own tyres previously so not shy of tinkering either. Love following your story. All the best to you and your family. All the best from the UK.

I've made some big travels in my time and I hardly remember what it was like riding the machines. I remember the shit out of where I was at and the people with me if any. It's the place and sometimes the people not the machine. It's mainly a tool to get you there and back in one piece. Checking out the ADVWORX bags. I see a 20L Gen 2 set. Look great. The whole premise of throwing them across the seat and strapping them on is what I'm after. I ride multiple machines so universal mounting is really desirable. Safe travels.

I have chosen to run the separate GPS and Inreach, with the Inreach carried on my shoulder harness in case I get thrown a distance from the bike.

Silicon spray manufacturers love this guy 🎉 PS: watch out for the disc it might get "contaminated" 😂

[@johnstaring3210]

My thoughts too as I watched the video.

If you haven't already I'd appreciate a video on how to dress when traveling light like in this video. What extra clothes if any you bring and so on. Thanks

I’m flying the flag! People see it and mention the channel.

Adam's kit is good, it's got everything he needs & nothing he doesn't need. He's done a good job of arranging the tool kit so it packs flat (that tube for the sockets & driver bits is super nifty). The only items that I can think of being handy to include is a spoke spanner, a spare air cleaner element (depends on the conditions of the journey), a LED headlamp and perhaps a small saw that will cut metal & wood. A question for T7 experts; does Yamaha (or aftermarket) offer a centre stand for the bike?

Hello Adam your adventures are fascinating, the technical episodes are very useful,I am riding on the T7 rally 2022 . Hope to meet you someday 🇮🇱.

That is one stout tool kit! And in time of need it would be the bomb! Usually for someone else's bike but nonetheless a great item. One other thing is strapping things down. I see guys checking in from BDR rides and they are always losing things along the trail. Cameras, tool kits, sleeping bags, anything that can be tied down can be tied poorly and fall off, or get hung up in a wheel and start a fire dog forbid. Buy good straps use em well. Ive got an 890R , then I found a clean 21 690R........................guess which one is more fun and would go on a BDR?

Hot little tip for anyone at home doing there own tyres if you have a bad back like myself for most of the work sit your wheel on/in a 20l bucket holds em pretty good
