Water crossing looked deep, I opted to ride across the foot bridge seen in the background. Nice picnic and camping spots for self-sufficient campers. No services, no cell reception either. River crossing was deep and rough. This guy struggled for traction. Check that massive tree...

I recall I saw these exact same complaints with the first gen 2016 AT. Same symptoms as in your video! The consensus at the time was that it was due to a bad start switch. Apparently caused by slightly corroded contacts. If I remember correctly, Honda replaced the switch assembly on the r-hand...

I saw this video from Bret Tkacs explaining the different types of boots yesterday. Spoiler alert, avoid any boot with the word "Adventure" in the name. MX boots all the way for max protection off tar.

My GS Pro boots are going on 10 years, and they've been flawless for adventure and gravel stuff. They are rebranded Forma Dominator MX boots. I had them resoled recently, with Forma soles.

Have your valves checked gents... On the 1000's and 1100's the valve check interval is every +-24 000 km. It is an expensive and time consuming service, because you have to remove a lot of stuff to adjust the valves (fairings, tank, airbox, radiator?, throttle bodies, valve cover, cam shaft)...

Was Martin also penalised for exceeding track limits like BB?

Nee ons het nie juis vlieë nie, dis te koud in Melbourne... 😄 Ek is juis besig om my bike op te kit vir toer... Sal binnekort fotos laai...

Ek hou nogals vd swart een, maar die mooistes speel buite in die grond! 😍

Are those aftermarket exhaust header pipes? They angle out in a way that seems unfamiliar, or perhaps I get that impression from the big guard plate.

The oil you see there is most likely a build-up of chain lube inside the plastic sprocket cover. I remove and clean mine once or twice a year when I see that. Assuming the chain was not run overly tight, you should not have a countershaft oil leak.

I finally bought a pair of luggage racks for the AT, plus 2x Rotopax 5 liter cans (one fuel one water) to mount on the racks. Want to start doing longer trips into the desert. Outback Motortek Xframe racks (not my bike). I like the many mounting points they provide.

Exactly, Honda replaced the waterpump under warranty. A few months after I bought the bike new, I noticed a few drops of coolant on the exhaust header after every other ride. It deteriorated slowly over time, so I asked for a fix. I was not ecstatic about the idea to open up a brand new engine...

I agree 48k is a lot for a 2020... Probably not a concern if it was not abused off road and if it has a full service record. I bought my 2017 new and it is also now on 33k. No big issues. I had a small waterpump leak that was fixed under warranty. I also had to replace fork seals and steering...

Find out if the previous owner did a valve clearance check at 24000 km. It is an expensive job. I was quoted 4 hours labour plus parts yesterday when I phoned the Honda dealer.

A few things to check, off the top of my head: - Leaky fork seals - Notchy steering head bearings - can be felt when turning from dead straight - Coolant weeping from waterpump weep hole - droplets visible on exhaust header in front of R footpeg - Cracked windscreen mount, especially if the...

Exploring unfamiliar logging roads in south Gippsland (southern Victoria, Aus) Bass Strait (ocean between Aus and Tasmania) on the horizon.

I have Oxford heated grips on the AT for the last 5 years. They get used a lot 7 months of the year. Will fit them again in a heartbeat. 👍
