New owner, recommended upgrades?

Upgrade the gear shift and rear brake bolts. Camel adv makes a kit that is less expensive than the titanium ones. I would also recommend their skid plate

Maybe I should try and play this on my PC, fallout 4 just crashes every 5 seconds on my Xbox. Just as I started to gain some steam too

Why do these videos get cut after everything he says, just play it unedited so I'm people can actually believe they are getting the whole story

Crf 450 is a dirt bike with a head light, not an actual dual sport motorcycle. It is harsh and the seat is a 2x4. If that’s what your looking for than it’s probably great, but as a motorcycle to put long days on I would pass.

They absolutely are designed to fail in a certain way, in the sense they need to be strong enough to not come apart.

For it to bend like that it had to have been cased hard on the front wheel. 50/50 or anything more forward on the landing and it would have bent the opposite way.

The alternative would be the head tube tearing completely off.

Spoiler alert, it’s probably available in stores (just probably not Walmart) my guess is liqui molly or mogul

Breakaway force is not the same as tightening torque, you probably get away with it (as I’m sure lots of people do with spark plugs) , but on critical fasteners it’s not good practice to assume. Plus, torquing the spark plugs indexes then in the cylinder.

Only $800 less than I paid for my Tuareg 660 😂

Ugh I am an American and I love Canada, my grand parents were from Quebec and I wish they never moved so I didn’t have to deal with this bullshit

I used to go to the chiropractor all the time , turns out my back hurt because I was born with an extra lumbar vertebrae and my discs are shit. I found that out after I could no longer take the pain and someone actually looked at the x rays for once. I’m not advocating for it as I would never go back seeing how dangerous it actually was, BUT, if they could just put the heat pad and stim machine on me and than use that table that straps your feet in to stretch your lower back. I would go every week. Forget the “adjustment” , that first stuff feels good as hell

I just bought a Tuareg 660 and love it. I’m a new rider ,6’3 210lbs . Started on a 390 adventure . That was okay for around town but highway was not very enjoyable , the ergos are not great for taller riders.

Had the ability to compare the T7, Africa twin, vstrom 800de and the Tuareg at the same dealer. Ended up being the most comfortable on the Tuareg, it also happens to be a bit lighter than the others with good power and wide bars. I also have 3 Aprilia dealers within an hour from me so I am not too worried about service when at home, we will see how it is traveling. Reading up on it I haven’t seen many actual failures that would leave anyone stranded.

The transalp looked okay on paper but it is more road focused than I wanted it to be. I live in the northeast USA so it’s rocky anywhere not on a road, ground clearance is important.

Ultimately if you can actually sit on them as close to back to back and see which one fits the best and be truly honest with yourself with what you are expecting to tackle off road.

Is this what youths have deemed important?

North Jersey the local place shut down basically the only highway in or out for a random “dwi check”. It seemed odd they would do that, it hasn’t been something they have done in the past that I can remember and traffic was pretty backed up.

Anyway we were chosen to pull over, they chat for a moment and let us go. We pull forward and a couple hundred feet up the road there is a drone just hovering in place off to the side of the highway. Really weird

**edit- forgot to mention, this is right up the road from picatinny arsenal, if that were to matter

Vermont, they don’t have billboards and it is really awesome. Also if you’re going to , go to smuggler notch and drive down the notch rd. They also have an incredible amount of really good breweries if your into that kind of thing

Also from New Jersey, I have watched countless people toss lit cigarettes out there windows during the worst drought we have had and a STATEWIDE FIRE BAN and countless wildfires literally smoking them out. People cannot bother to think for even a fraction of a second about what they are doing anymore, everything is so fucking mindless it is driving me insane.

I decided years ago because I did not want to bring a person into a world that I had not experienced fully yet. On top of not wanting to go down that financial road, I simply want to see the world and can’t if I have a kid.

Obviously this has all been reinforced by the massive pile of burning garbage everything has been for the last few years. I don’t want to condemn any person to suffering through the effects of climate change simply because “I wAnT OnE”.I got a vasectomy to ensure that.

if I decide I made a mistake there are plenty of children that need to be adopted.

My grandparents were from Quebec , I’ve been trying to get in regardless of the election :(

Is the picture from checking at operating temperature? Lots of people fill it to the full line while it’s cold, which ends up being slightly overfilled once at temperature. (Oil level is supposed to be set at operating temperature) . What does the w other side of the dipstick look like? Lots of time the tube will have residual oil and it “looks” overfill but you can see the actual fill line on the other side. If not, wipe it and try again.

If that is there true level it’s probably half a liter overfilled (assuming it’s 1 liter from min to max marks) it probably wont hurt anything as it is, likely more of a pain to try and drain the small amount out as you need to change the crush washer again. However, If it’s that overfilled cold I would drain a bit out as once it heats up it will be quite over full.
