I would also get an after market belly pan as well as they protect the oil filter a lot better than the standard one 👍

Absolutely love the look at these bikes.. I'm thinking of selling my Kawasaki z750 for one of these as I ride everyday back and fourth to work

Hi, your Trk really is very well equipped. One question: with the 58 liter top case can you open the side cases without difficulty? HI Lauro.

[@BikeRiderReviews]

Hi thanks for checking out the review. Opening the side cases is no problem, there is plenty of clearance between the two. Ride safe.

[@cliffmoon5573]

Hi I just started following you and you're one of the reasons why I bought the Benelli 502 x I just have to say I love your reviews but I do have a question does your bike tend to bog out in 5th and 6th gear when doing 55 mph I don't know offhand with that is in kilometers and I did take your advice and I went to AliExpress and I tried to get every single thing that you have the one thing I wanted to ask you was your front bike guard hard to put on and does it attach and does it have existing holes in the bike

[@BikeRiderReviews]

Thanks for checking out the review. I'm glad you're enjoying the channel. I haven't had any issues with the bike in any gear. It pulls strong through the entire rev range and the throttle response is very smooth at all speeds. The holes should be already there to mount the cras bars. If you look under the beak of the head light you should see them and at the other end the crash bars have a bracket which just fits onto the factory fitted bars, no drilling required. Ride safe 👍🙏

what panniers box frame mounts did you buy mate?...givi?

[@BikeRiderReviews]

Hi, I can't remember, if you take a look on the channel at the TRK accessories video all the info, part numbers, prices are on there. Take a look at what the part number is for the panniers and then do a search for compatible mounts. I know the kappa and givi are interchangeable so it doesn't matter which you buy. Ride safe 👍

[@BikeRiderReviews]

I just checked the video and the panniers and the mounts came together as kit. Hope that helps. Ride Safe.

Sorry to chime in, picked mine up last Friday. I’m 6”3 with a 33 inner leg and I’m on tip toes on it lol, it’s such a fantastic and comfortable bike for bigger blokes, and it does pull extremely well after 4K/5k reves

[@mbz4652]

​@@adamoneill2660I have a TRK 502 and would like to reduce the rpm's. I mainly drive urban. Someone suggested changing to 14/44 on the non X version as with the 15/42 on the non X version, you will really struggle to get under away. The 15/42 is only suitable on the X version IF you don't load your bike up with a fully set of panniers, top box and a pillion. Which sprockets would you recommend? Thanks

[@BikeRiderReviews]

Thanks for checking out the review. I hope you find what you are looking for. Ride safe.

[@winstonwolff]

Almost paid more for accessories than he paid for the bike lol. I see these last years models still sold as new for like $6,000 u.s. they look the part and Im sure you can get 4-5 years out of the bike without any major issues based on these being in the world market for 6 yrs now. I can't personally do 750 lbs combined weight on a 500cc engine. Just no fun. I can see the value as a cheap commuter though.

[@BikeRiderReviews]

Haha, you're not wrong about the accessories. To be honest on paper I can understand why people have that view about the weight to power ratio. However, the engine is a peach, and when I compare it to my wife's Honda NC750X, to be honest, power wise, there isn't that much in it and the ride is far more engaging on the TRK. For sure if you are a rider who loves the thrill of high power fast monsters, then definitely the TRK isn't a bike you would pick but if you go on the TRK UK Facebook page it's amazing to see how many riders who have come down from litre plus bikes who are surprised at how well it performans. You hit the nail on the head when you say a value cheap commuter, but I would also add a value cheap tourer too. Super comfy, super reliable, and can carry plenty of luggage. Thanks for checking out the channel. Ride safe 👍

[@zoroastrozaratrusta]

Hi thank you for the video I have a couple of questions hope you can help . I bought the radiator protection long ago and I am agreed is a pain . In fact I haven't found a screw to fit the bottom part could you indicate me the link to get one please Second question it is about the crash bar . Is the one you bought in aliexpress attached together with the original ones in your bike? Do you have the link for them. Regards Thank you

For the radiator cover I used an M6 stainless nut and bolt, I can't remember what the length was as it was so long ago but I used a bolt out of this kit. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0132P446A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ZDpmFbEBAAWG9 If you just use a ruler to measure the length you need I'm sure you will be able to get a bolt from your local DIY shop

[@MultiOutdoorman]

Have you modified the headlights or bulbs yet ?

[@BikeRiderReviews]

Hi, no I have not. It is illegal to modify the headlights to LED in the UK so I have kept them standard. Ride safe 👍

[@peterjameson9683]

Great video, good to see what other accessories are available. Have you had any problems with water/spray getting into your soundbomb due to location & isn't there a risk of the front mudguard catching it if there's excess travel? I have brought a soundbomb as a result of your video but gone for the split version, compressor separate to horn. I also have got one of the larger bash plates which not only offers underside protection but comes up in front of the oil filter & surrounding bits, looks good as well. Great set of videos on TRK, thanks.

[@BikeRiderReviews]

Thanks for checking out the review, up to yet I have had no problem with water ingres. There is plenty of room for suspension travel between the horn and mudguard. Ride safe.

[@BikeRiderReviews]

Hi Peter just a quick update on the location of the horn, I have done around a thousand normal road miles now with no problems however yesterday I hit quite a steep hill at speed and managed to jump the bike both wheels airborne. When I landed the front forks compressed enough to allow the mudguard to hit the horn. I think the clearance may be a few ml short as the horn was not damaged at all but there was a light scuff mark on the top of the mudguard therefore for safety reasons I don't recommend placing the horn in this location. I'm very sorry if my previous reply has misled you, after a 1000 miles with no issues I honestly thought the clearence was OK. I'll be putting a short video up tomorrow warning people of the issue. Once again many apologies. Ride safe 👍.

[@peterjameson9683]

Hello. Thanks for update & no apology needed. Better to have found a potential problem, albeit in extreme circumstances, & have no damage or injury & be able to advise people of it. I bought a split soundbomb & place the horn section under thd mudguard in your original position, wouldn't have thought of this if I hadn't seen yours. Compressor fits inside fairing in front of radiator expansion tank. Loads of space & easy access if side panel taken off. Safe riding. 👍

[@inspecktorf]

@@BikeRiderReviews you could mount your gorn on your crash guard. Facing sideways. People from in front of you still can hear you. I use hella compact now, before I was using the hella super tone. Those thing are big.

[@BikeRiderReviews]

@@inspecktorf Hi, I have made a new bracket for the horn which has raised it up around 3cm so there is now no chance of the front mudguard hitting the horn, it is also better protected from the rain. So far no problems at all. 😃👍

[@handmaryam1947]

Hi.. how are you Can you make video about how install the crash bars for 502 x ...please

[@BikeRiderReviews]

Hi thanks for checking out the review. Fitting the crash bars is extremely easy. It is only 6 bolts. Two underneath the nose cone and another two each side of the bike where the bars clamp onto the factory fitted bars. You honestly could not go wrong. I hope this helps. Ride safe. 👍

Which one did you buy? for 6500k dollars, V Strom 650 xt 2018 or new Trk502x

[@BikeRiderReviews]

Hi thanks for checking out the review. This is a hard question to answer as I have never ridden the V-Strom 650xt. I own a V-Strom 250 which my wife uses and it is a well made bike. However the TRK is just as well made. I think for most people it would fall down to 3 things. 1. If you value more power to suit your type of riding. 2. weather you have confidence in the reliability and quality of build with the TRK. 3. Personal preference of how the 2 bikes compare in looks. Having owned the TRK for a while now I can confirm the reliability and build quality is just as good as suziki V-Strom. Personaly I prefer the looks of the TRK. I would prefer a little more power for long trips anlong motorways, however the TRK power is still adequate for all types of journeys. So for me I would buy the TRK however i really do not think there is much between the two bikes and which ever bike you bought I am sure you would end up with a great bike. Ride safe.

How accurate is the temperature gauge that you've installed below the speedo?

[@BikeRiderReviews]

Thanks for checking out the review. To be honest I don't know. I have never checked its accuracy. It is installed on a switch so that I can select when to use it. I tend to use it more in winter, switching it on just before I start the bike to see what chance there may be ice on the roads. On an average it seems fairly accurate as much as it does not give crazy readings and the readings seem to be what you would expect with the general feel of the ambient temperature. Ride safe. 👍
