Tethers/lanyards/toutjies from the device around the frame or handlebar. The Montana and Inreach have tie-down points, no need for glue in my case. I've never had them fall out of the mounts, but this is cheap insurance.

I used to commute daily for 12+ years between Roodepoort/Bryanston and Centurion/Bryanston. Mostly to save time in traffic. Nowadays I commute between the bedroom and study by foot, or take the train into the city for office days. It is much cheaper, safer, more comfortable and stress-free on...

Ek het uiteindelik bagasierakke en sakke op die AT gesit. Kriega OS 32 x2 kant sakke (32 liter) Kriega OS 6 tool sak (6 liter) Outback Motortek X rakke (geen ekstra backing plate nodig vir die sakke nie) Ek ry al baie lank met hierdie tool sak, maar ek het die res verlede naweek vir die eerste...

I rode day 1 with a local group who went on a 4 day ride. Most guys were on 400-650 class singles, and the AT was by far the porkiest. It was hard work to get through the thick rutted clay bog holes and steep rocky climbs, but I somehow came through unscathed. Near the origin of the Yarra...

Solo ride on a beautiful spring afternoon. Found a new road through one of the nearby forests. Slight mishap with a trail-side tube change just before dusk, far from home...

Yes I had a similar experience. Engine cranked easily, but would not fire up. I somehow suspected the battery because it was still the OEM and was a few years old. The new battery solved it. My conclusion was the old battery had enough juice to pull the starter, but not enough to pull the...

I had this on my XChallenge years ago. I replaced the battery and the problem disappeared.

Cool and rainy (at times) riding through the farmlands of West Gippsland, Victoria, Aus. 30 mins from home left on the horison.

I took a varsity buddy from ZA on a forest/plantation ride. First dirt ride on his "new" secondhand adventuratised Suzuki DR650. We ended the day at a small town pub for a beer and a burger https://maps.app.goo.gl/c6ZXonk6mEQu56Cj7?g_st=ic

High spot in the Yarra Ranges mountains, east of Melbourne. I was expecting to see some snow on the ground, but no luck. It was 4'C at 14h00 though... https://maps.app.goo.gl/kF8m3wxGA9MmXHQa6?g_st=ic

I have the Barkbusters with Storm guards. I like them, and they can take a beating. Had the BB VPS guards too but they are too small and don't provide enough protection from the elements for my mostly cool and wet climate.

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?
