Spare Parts for Long Motorcycle Trip | Episode 2

[@majormassenspektrometer]

Pro Tip: Don't work on your motorcycle one day before your trip.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Yes!

[@Avensur]

As we all know, even to the most prepared guy, there is always something that we forgot. I once went to work without my wallet, driving illegally 🤣

[@tvrashid]

On the day of my departure to my 7000km trip, I got an work and I had to complete it fore noon and the same day evening, I left for the trip

[@lkjagodics]

Hi Pavlin. Great video series! A tip... I mark my chain link riveted or not riveted with paint so I can easily see it for inspection. I also right down the chain deflection on the swing arm. These preparation vids are thorough and thoughtful. Thank you.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks for sharing, man!

Clutch plates if going offroad. Fuel pump. Fuel filter. Wheel bearings (offroad). Valve stems (the parts inside). Little bit of vaseline. Thread locker. Superglue. Metal epoxy. Water pump repair kit. Countershaft seal possibly. Maybe some orings. Liquid sealer (no need to carry paper seal, you can reuse the old one even if you tear it, just one drop of liquid sealant to join and seal it together and off you go). Fork seals (offroad). Some screws and pinlock bolts for your helmet (yeah I have lost pinlock bolt in the past).

Spare brake pads, are you crazy! A couple years ago I did a complete break job on my bike before a trip. New rotors, new hydraulic lines, rebuilt calipers and new break pads. Perfect, all set with the breaks for quite a while - so I thought. about 200km into the trip the front pads disintegrated into dozens of pieces! They were EBC pads and I have used them for quite a while. Luckily I had brought the old, not worn out, set with me and in 15 min I was back on my trip. Bought a new set the next day and put the old set back into spare parts.I have never seen or heard of a set of pads disintegrating like that before.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Shit happens!

[@enduromotorradtouren]

It is difficult to find the fine line between "take everything just in case" and "I don't care, it's a modern bike", Pavlin. Usually I have too many spare parts with me. But once I was in real trouble - the battery of my Transalp 600 collapsed after refueling. Well, you cannot anticipate everything ;-) Usually even ADV bikes are sturdier and more reliable than adventurers expect. Thanks for showing your parts list. Have a great season, Günter/Nürnberg

[@motorcycleadventures]

Yes, Günter, we cannot predict the future, but it is what it is!

[@enduromotorradtouren]

@@motorcycleadventures That's adventure, Pavlin. The unexpected.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Very true!

[@sandwaves5642]

Good video !! - and if sone will write a comment, or thinks : "....what if I can't fix shit...? - don't have the skill... " I say : STILL take the stuff - it will be much easier to help you - for those who have the skill and can !!

[@motorcycleadventures]

Absolutely!

[@leeengelsman1855]

Then get the skills you will need!.

Thanks for this well indeed presented long trip spares lesson .That was exactly in my mind, the essentials for your specific bike. As for the tools the same. Take care mate, greetings from Puerto Rico. Enjoy the riding 💪😉👍

[@motorcycleadventures]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MrMegaPerez]

Thanks for the great video 👍 Perfect timing because I go to Morocco 🇲🇦 with my Tenere in 3 weeks :)

[@motorcycleadventures]

Have fun!

Thanks, man!

[@teneretraveller8980]

Excellent content. I would take a downloaded manual for the bike, top. Happy, safe travels 👍

[@motorcycleadventures]

Yes, thanks for adding!

[@alainmaurice1271]

Thanks a lot. Have a nice day

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thank you!

[@luisgabrielmojicasilva8920]

Hello Pavlin, great to see your advice. I sugest a small piece of chalk, in order to mark the place of tire puncture. It will be easy to find the hole in the tube. Regards.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks for the info!

[@riderinsanjose337]

The insulating tubing (shrink tubing) you showed should be able to slip over the insulation of the wire that you are repairing. That way after the connection is made, the shrink tubing is slid over that connection and shrunk with light application of heat. Assuming you cannot solder it at the location of repair, when you get home, either replace the wire or do a proper soldering job and replace the shrink tubing. Of course .. The shrink tubing must go on before the wires are joined.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Ok

[@maxw576]

I think the odds are higher that you'd need an ignition coil before a spark plug, especially if you have coil over plug (cop's). I always carry a spare coil along with spark plug. Mountain biking I'd carry spare spokes too.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Whatever works for you.

[@samhill3496]

All good tips. I've done most of a million miles on two wheels. Always had most all the items you use. In the old days parts were at only a single dealer per state of a particular brand and parts were two weeks away by mail if you could find them. Much different today in civilized world but other places plus politics could be much worse. Saw it first hand with my best stuck in southern Chile. A couple months wait and a truck to haul the bike from dealer in Port Arenas to Santiago and she had factory support. It can happen.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks for sharing your experience, Sam!

[@nasirbasra]

6:20 must and most important 👍😊

[@motorcycleadventures]

Maybe not the most important, but definitely important!

[@castigo1986]

Thanks for the video Pavlin! Do you plan to make an update review of the Mitas e07+ after the one you made in New Zealand? With tyre prices so high now, Mitas is gaining a lot of attention in Europe, even for the big adventure bikes that usually get Pirelli or Michelin as OEM. Thanks!!

[@motorcycleadventures]

I might make it.

[@kurtlvaas9455]

help very good videos always , when did you buy Tenere 700 ?

[@motorcycleadventures]

More than a year already.

[@MyINNOVAMotorcycling]

Excellent advice👍❤ I would definitely do some things different. For me, why to take a regulator and not take coils? In my relaxed riding style, the clutch pads last for 100,000 km. But I've had a problem with the coils a couple of times., so I really want to install a voltmeter on my dashboard, but I have no idea how to do it on a CBR250R, is this component is waterproof?

[@motorcycleadventures]

Yes, you can find waterproof options.

[@laszlobauer5274]

If you have a Japanese motorcycle from the 2000s, make sure you have a spare generator stator. In the last few years we had 4 bikes with failed stators, 2 were Yamaha TDM900, the other 2 were Honda CBF1000. It's easier to change than you would think. We ended up buying car batteries and placing it on the pillion seat wired to the motorcycle battery.

[@motorcycleadventures]

I agree, that's why I have it.

[@kovrcek]

Lol same thing happened to my R1. And we did the same thing with the car battery. It can last some 200km or more (with everything turned off) but has to be charged eventually. But the job of changing was not easy at all. The rotor was fused together with the shaft, common issue for Rn09 model. You need a special bolt and a lot of luck or angle grinder to remove it and get to the stator. Shit job but I managed it myself at home in a few days and the bolt. Definitely not possible on the side of the road. Just saying it depends on the bike.

[@laszlobauer5274]

@@kovrcek that's why it's important to know your bike. Anyway you are kind of a unicorn if you do long trips with R1. Hope your back is okay. 😁

[@kovrcek]

@@laszlobauer5274 sold it 3 years ago. was impossible to do long trips of course, had to be going 140kmh+ so my back was relaxed :D and knees were hurting! this unlucky trip was only to neighbouring country and like 500km total max. And I was younger :D

[@tp8150]

As always episode saved in a playlist in order to keep track with the useful infos

[@motorcycleadventures]

Glad to hear that!

[@ivangeo3319]

How do you prepare your shoulders, necks, and back.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Just ride motorcycle as often as possible.

[@ivangeo3319]

@Motorcycle Adventures I rode motorcycle during my high school year back when I still live in Indonesia. I rode as far as 100km on a bussy inter city roadway, full of busses, trucks, horse drawn carts at market places. After the trip my shoulders felt like they want to fall off my body. After moved to the states, I never ride one anymore. Too many crazy drivers.

[@tvrashid]

Change the sitting posture frequently.

[@jaimemetcher388]

@@ivangeo3319 Ask someone to film you riding. There's something wrong with your posture and/or your bike if it's hurting that much after 100km. It's possible you are too tense, very easy to do without realizing it. You need to consciously remind yourself to relax your shoulders and arms. Also take a break. I aim for every hour, but I'll stretch it to two. If I go too much longer, especially late in the day, my shoulders do get sore. Even just a couple of minutes to get off the bike and have a sip of water makes a big difference.

[@hugoding]

Hi Pavlin do you think is important to take a clutch pedal as a spare part? Thank you in advance

[@motorcycleadventures]

Yes, a spare clutch and brake levers are must.

[@hugoding]

@@motorcycleadventures Sorry, I mean the shift lever. If you plan to ride more off road. Thank you sir

[@motorcycleadventures]

No, it is not necessary.

[@TheAdvTraveller]

👍👍👍

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks for taking the time!

[@nemerkha]

Thanks Pavlin. What spare inner tubes do you take as spares? HD or standard? I have the stock tubes in my pirellis on my T7 and carry standards as spares. I was advised not to use HDs on motorways as they can get hot and cause trouble. What's your take on that please? Thanks

[@motorcycleadventures]

I only use 4mm Michelin tubes from years but I never ride fast and always try to avoid highways.

[@nemerkha]

@@motorcycleadventures thanks. A good Inner tube t7 change video would be great.

[@motorcycleadventures]

There are many videos on KZbin. T7 is not different. facebook.com/watch/?v=915733262926165

[@kovrcek]

HD tubes and did whole days on highway without any issues. First time I hear about this. But even on hwy I ride like 110kmh max.

[@nemerkha]

@@kovrcek 110km/hr isnt high speed. I sometimes have to travel section of the autobahn at around 90 mph the whole day to get to my dirty section, and that's where it's risky. HD and UHD tubes are marked as not for road use

[@TimonSchouten]

Hi Pavlin, I'm planning for a big trip (>20k km) on my XT660Z. I have tubeless tires and a tubeless tyre repairkit. Do you advice to still also take spare tubes? Im not sure because of the extra weight of the tube(s) and tyre lifters. Thanks, keep it up! :)

[@motorcycleadventures]

Well, take a least one 21 Inch. You can use it in both wheels.

[@TimonSchouten]

@@motorcycleadventures Thanks for the advice Pavlin!

[@TarekElShabrawy]

👍🏼

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks for watching!

[@petewatson9866]

I don’t think you need any parts with you, except tire puncture repair kit, tire pump and deflator valve. Just be strict with getting oil and filters service every 9k, brakes at 18k and clutch at 36k. You have to budget for all of this but once out of Europe things get a lot cheaper. Also your bike will be a lot lighter because you don’t have the parts and you don’t need so much tools

[@motorcycleadventures]

My clutches usually last not less than 70,000km. Rear brakes no more than 10,000km and almost never had tire problems. Everyone is different and this does not cancel the need of spare parts.

[@leeengelsman1855]

Pavlin does alot more off road rugged territory in remote places and is likely to fall off some times so he needs more and different parts to purely highway use.

[@miclinda256]

🤔 if you have a well taken Care of t7 you can go 15000-20000 km ! Only credit card for fuel, or tires If you dont drive into every thing you see 😂 Friends ….. its a Yamaha

[@motorcycleadventures]

Could be!

[@ЕвгенийГлебс]

You Inglish much better.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Good!
