Awesome, nice video 👍🏼

Hey there @Texas Aviator, I'm glad you enjoyed it!😀. Thanks for the comment.

[@elithegreat6463]

Lots of folks still don’t know there are two Plugs to the newer R9T 👍, Great video , I have a 2021 R9T-719

[@outtheresomewhere]

Hey @elithegreat6463😀, hope you are well. Thanks for comment🤗, you're right some owners dont realise there are two plugs per cylinder. I remember you said you had a 21 R9T-719, it's a black/silver one as I recall. How are the Dunlop Q3s, are you still running them?

[@elithegreat6463]

@@outtheresomewhere Absolutely, I love the Q3+ Platform on Dunlops, and my R9T Still gets a crowd of onlookers when arrive to my local Bike Nights, Be Well 👍

Great video. Good information and quite fine photography. Last bike was a R9T Scram. Hope you someday get a Triumph 1200 scram and do videos on that machine!

[@outtheresomewhere]

Thanks Linda, awww....a Triumph 1200 scram would be lovely 😃....you never know....

Não tive nenhuma dificuldade em sacar as bobinas da minha GS1200 AC usando para isso um cadarço de sapato, basta enrolar bem o cadarço na bobina e puxar para fora no sentido contrario em que ele foi introduzido que sai relativamente fácil. Imagine como a ferramenta que saca a bobina funciona e faça o mesmo movimento usando o cadarço.

[@outtheresomewhere]

Clever option when you don't have the tool at hand. Thanks for sharing @zefini7397 👍😊

Wow😮😮

[@dream56678]

Would love some affiliate links of the tools you are using.

[@outtheresomewhere]

Hi @dream56678, none of the tools I use are from affiliates. So I have no links to share. Most tools I buy are relatively cheap home handyman quality unless I feel a specific tool warrants something of high quality because it will avoid causing more problems e.g. my welder and drill bits and multimeter, are not cheapies, yet my rubber mellet, grinder and heaps of other things are. Sorry that helps you about as much as a finger in the eye. My philosophy is, if I know I'll use it lots and I feel the chesp version wont last I, buy quality and fork out the money, buy once, cry once otherwise I buy cheap. My tool cabinets are used most days and work great, but cheapies.😁

Another good video Matt. I’m looking to take the headlight ring off my 21 model to powder coat it,do I have to take the whole light apart or will the ring come off on its own? Thanks bro 👍

[@outtheresomewhere]

Hey Barry😀, great to hear from you again. So that stunning bike of yours is about to get an update!💚. I love your idea of powder coating the headlight rim! Yes you can remove the rim without taking the entire headlight apart. On the 21 model take a look under the bottom of the headlight, you should see a small screw. Undo the screw, once that is out all that holds the rim on, is a steel tab at the top of the Headlight. I found turning while pulling the bottom gently out helped release the rim from the body of the Headlight. It's about as hard to get off, as the lid on a new jar of peanut butter😄 so dont force it, but give it a good hard turn. Good luck, let me know how you get on. Oh and I'd be keen to hear how the powder coating job turns out🤗

[@barryrose4850]

I did try this but thought I was struggling to much. I’ll give a little twist next time. Could you not take so long to reply next time 😜 Good luck Matt👍

[@outtheresomewhere]

​@@barryrose4850 yeah sorry, I was a bit tardy with that response time wasn't I. I'll pull my finger out next time..😜...and reply in 30 seconds....

Hi, I left my bike running for a little over an hour and the plastic covers popped off. There was a burning smell and the sight glass for the oil was empty. And the coils are sticking out. Can I just push them back in and turn the bike back on? It was recently serviced. My bike is always taken care of well except for this incident. Was serviced about a month ago.

[@outtheresomewhere]

Don't turn the engine over even once. Push it on to a trailer and deliver it to a local mechanic.

[@mikedugdale281]

Crikey , all that to pull a spark plug with it sitting out from under the tank. Now that's genius.

[@outtheresomewhere]

[@mowler8042]

Most motorcycles never get ridden long enough to worry about these issues,

[@outtheresomewhere]

+M owler in some cases that's sadly true.

[@MilesTGabourel]

It’s all about the rider my friend. I didn’t spend 13k on this BMW r Nine T Pure for it to sit in my shed. I got it in April with 3mi as a graduation from college present to my myself and it’s at 4395mi as of yesterday.
