RFP057 Rally Car suspension upgrade
Просмотров 1253 года назад
Some years ago I built a new motor into a 600cc Pipe car for a friend. He then started to race the car in a local Rally Cross series but the rear suspension was not designed for this and started to bend. He asked me to upgrade the arms and do some other work on the car.
RFP056 Making Bashplate and other items for the ZONTES 310
Просмотров 4803 года назад
The final items to make the Zontes more adventure travel ready was the Bashplate (engine guard) and shorty brake and clutch levers. I also took the heavy exhaust tailpiece off and replace that with a light piece of tube to direct the hot exhaust gas away from the luggage and also create space for a future toolbox.

RFP051 Scenic South Africa Day 10 The End
Просмотров 2843 года назад
Today is the last day of the circular Scenic South Africa trip. I left Port Elizabeth around 14:00 and did the 734km trip in 7h30. Not bad for the little Zontes. Only once did I think about the 1200GS I rode many years ago but must say the LEG headlights of the Zontes is as bright as the 1200 with LED spots.

Today I did 353km of which 200 was gravel. I passed through quite a few game farms, saw some game as well. I stopped in Riebeeck East for something to eat at about the only shop/post office in town. I stopped in Port Elisabeth for a few days to visit friends.

Today we ride480km from Piet Retief close to the Swaziland border to Underberg just close to the Lesotho border. It finally rained after being lucky and dry for 7 days. The road was so slippery at one spot where I had a slow slide. Wet and happy I reached my destination in Underberg.

My work at the customer is complete so I can relax on my way back to Cape Town. The weather still looks a bit like rain to the south where I am heading. At least is is nice and cool. The day will mostly be Tar but I did include a bit of gravel once past Baberton.

* THE ANIMAL SECTION * Today was a 439 km stretch that included a 120km gravel section through wildlife sanctuaries and game farms. I saw more wildlife on this section than any other time. The road condition was quite good with only a few kilometers of sandy sections.

I love zontes 310t
how do you measure?
I have choice between African Twin or maybe other bikes, thanks for the video. You are very funny
good or bad for offroad?
Prys op die bashplate ? Gaan binne kort kaap toe om my Zontes tediens
Hi do you still have the bike.... how is the bike now, thank you
sua zontes ta quantos quilometros rodado
Vc teve algum problema com essa moto, ela acabou de ser lançada aqui no Brasil
sem problemas ainda
Hello! All good? When will we see new videos with the motorcycle. Hug!
Great Video. One suggestion: that is not how you mount the RAM safety tether (rubber net) to further secure your phone. This is how you use it: ruclips.net/video/S8ky_uKTw98/видео.html
How many kilometers did you travel with zontes?
I saw a second hand zontes on webuy and it got me intrested whats your experience with the bike common problems mod evrything all the reviews i wached makes it not look to bag im a complete beginner do u reconmendit or no
great
Great video. I was just wondering. Do i meed to change anything else than what you showed in the video? I really like how the spoke wheels look on the bike instead of the aluminum ones and was thinking about changing them. Thanks in advanced
👍👍
✌️✌️✌️
So bly ek het die video reeks gevind en dat jul dit gemaak het. Ek wil self 'n solo trip Namibia toe aanpak, so dis goeie huis werk
Hi there. I've been watching all your videos with the Zontes. How is the bike going so far? I'm considering getting this bike. I've seen it for a good price.
could've saved R200 and do that instead
What is the language?
Afrikaans. It is one of the 11 languages spoken in South Africa. Basically it is derived from Dutch with a little bit influence from French, German and English.
@@rockfoxtravel3810 you've got a beautiful country 👍
Please 🙏 Sir what speed did you do
It all depends on the road as I do mostly unpaved. Remember this is a 300cc bike and will NOT do more than 145kph true speed. I dont care what is indicated on the instruments. I am doing 145kph at 9000 rpm red line based on true GPS speed.
I do admire your stamina, you travel so many kilometres on rural type roads, especially if you're of an age like me.
Hi Rockfox, I love all your videos! I was wondering if the zontes 310t can install a centerstand or not?
Hope all is well. Stay safe.
Do you think this bike would be comfortable enough for a 1.98m (6.6ft) tall rider?
Great! Unbelievable! Can you get this project file, Im also Zontes t310 T2 user, and plastic bash plate is not reliable for me.
I love your videos, keep it up! 😝💪🏻
Hello any problem with the bike mate
Long time no hear. Hope all is well. Stay safe.
Safe drive sir.. Respect!!!
Nice one Oom. Hope to sea more projects
How does the 310t in 2 perform?
Hi i see your skid plate u have changed? Which brands is that? And where can i get that?
It's not a T1, it's simply a T. The T1 has a single-sided swing arm.
Ohh Great, If the T1 is single arm, T2 a double arm, is the T then a Monocycle with no arm and one wheel? If I remember correctly the T range started as the T1 (All models) and then the T2 was basically an 'upgrade' with the bigger fuel tank, different key fob, upgraded clutch etc etc. But in any case I still enjoy the bike. Went on a trip again and really loved the 19" front and the lightness of the bike.
@@rockfoxtravel3810 No, at first it was just T, then T2 and T1.
Is die paaie wat oom ry op enige gps of maps app soos google maps?
In engels terwille van die buitelanders. I use a map set called Tracks4Africa to select the route. This system is fairly accurate with paved and unpaved roads. You can use Google maps or Open Streetmaps as well. I just like Garmin Basecamp and T4A.
I follow you from Egypt❤️
Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
XR country.
No more bikes to rent?
XR country.
Can we get copy of template?
Hello, very nice videos! i plan to buy zontes 310T2, i am worried about the reliability of the bike on the longer routes on the normal roads with a normal speed of around 130km/h . Will it some malfunction happen or something similar? How many kilometers did you go with this bike for now ? What did you change about vital parts of the machine, is something major broke like a clutch or similar? What is your fuel consumption?
Don't be daft. You do not buy ANY 350cc or less if you want to ride 130kph on longer trip. I have done 11000km with ZERO issues. I only added items to make adventure travelling more to my liking. I basically did it to all my bikes.
@@rockfoxtravel3810 Thanks on honest answer, i have 27years, still new to this, i only ride 49cc bike till now, and now looking to this. So what speeds are normal for long term ride ?
I’m sure that will be very interesting as well!! Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Fantastic job, I’ll totally agree with you about the heat on the right hand side luggage rack, please show us what have you done with the exhaust system.
Could You share the file with us please ?
Unfortunately Rockfox is my son's company manufacturing motorcycle protection parts like you see on the Zontes for all the major bike brands. I develop some parts and machines for him to be sold via his website. We will have to see if the file can be put on the website (rockfox.co.za) for other countries where shipping is a cost issue.
Nice job!!! Is the bashplate CAD file available for download?
Don't be cheap. Buy one.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Era excelente musica
Lo que veo es que no esta usando la misma moto
Je ne sais pas de quoi il s'agit. Je roule sur la même Zontes 310T depuis 2 ans.
@@rockfoxtravel3810 el porta placa es diferente en algunos videos ,una lo trae arriba ,y otra abajo
No, I just replaced the low plate holder with a 'fixed' one as the low model break from too much offroad vibrations.
Ok
I'm looking between an BMW G310GS and the Zontes 310 T2 and want to know how's the reliability on the motorcycle?
I do find the Zontes engine a bit more 'lively'. With the 19" front I think the ride is similar as both got real cheap suspension. No reliability issues yet.
