Remind me what kind of bike/tires that Alessandro (tried to) change? Also, is shabby appa-lay-chian or appa-latch-ian?

Good video. Only thing you didn't show [do] was placing lube on the tire when re-fitting. May have made it a bit easier?

The last part you need to push the bead into the well a bit more 😊

You did well with off and on!!!!

Hi, Frank. Great video. If I may make an observation: The bead became hard to mount at about the two o'clock position, so the drop-center tool should have been opposite that at the eight o'clock position. Having it at twelve o'clock was of no help. Thanks for posting a great review.

Hey!! I don’t deserve your help changing tires??? C’mon man!!

My buddy @ridingthethinlines bought one. We’ve used it a few times now, there’s a bit of a learning curve for sure, but it seems like it’s going to be a great way to save some money!

This has been on my wishlist! I just need to get one

Great review!! do you balance your tires?

You paid $400 for that Cardo Black? Wow 🤣

Good video. Should sell some Rabacondas. I don't change enough tires to pay for product. But thanks!

Been looking at this for a while, cost is the only thing holding me back. Maybe on the next bonus

A Rabaconda might be worth it for convenience. Cost is still very high. I missed a good opportunity to buy at last year’s Black Friday sale. Maybe this year???

Im going to remove it during cold weather n plce it in the house

Thanks for an honest review of the FuelX piggyback fuel product. Yes, marketing folks often make claims about their stuff that doesn’t always quite hold up under scrutiny. I purchased the Lite version for my 22’ 390 ADV in hopes of curing the infamous stalling problem at low RPM’s, particularly when slowing to a stop. It did solve this problem and improved lower RPM smoothness and partial throttle positions. And that’s all this device does, either Lite or PRO, it adds some fuel to improve the AFR but ONLY at lower RPM’s and/or partial throttle opening (closed loop). It basically tricks the ECU by altering the O2 sensor voltage reading that is sent to the ECU. At higher RPM’s (open loop) of somewhere above 6500 RPM or thereabouts the FuelX does nothing for fuel mixture. The ECU takes over and you get what the ECU wants to provide in terms of AFR. Some folks think the FuelX Pro provides 10 different “maps” but they aren’t actually maps as a racer might create to modify specific RPM points observed on a dyno. It’s simply a bit more fuel or a bit less fuel across the board in the lower RPM closed loop range. My Lite version recently failed and went flaky (just past warranty of course) and started throwing a check engine warning light on the dash. Attaching an OBD2 reader the codes were O2 sensor low voltage and also a misfire warning. Cleared the codes but not sure what direction I will pursue from here. Possibly of interest to fellow riders of the 390 ADV, while I had the gas tank off to route a wiring harness for a HealTech quickshifter and to also physically bypass the FuelX I decided to check the spark plug. I replaced it at the 600 mile break in with a platinum but hadn’t checked it since, with now an additional 2500 miles. To my surprise it was near pure white. I ride “spiritedly” well up in the open loop range most of the time and also have 3-up on the rear sprocket for torque gains. So this lean appearing spark plug is from the AFR determined by the stock ECU and not by the FuelX.

Very stiff tire. I went over 50 miles (street) back to my camper on a rear flat with this tire on a T7. If the deflated shredded tube wasn't out of balance I wouldn't have known it was flat. Stopped with me setting on the bike no one could tell it had zero air pressure.

Great video; it answered all my questions regarding this rack.

What was the install like? I have Apollo heated grips on, and it will prove difficult to remove them to put the veridian on.

I nave a 2023 Husquvarna Svartpillen 401. I put a 14T front sprocket, K&N air filter FuelX lite and a Yoshimura slip on exhaust. Night and day difference on the trails, slow riding. Very smooth, no stalling now. I was thinking about doing the cat and resonator delete and a piggy back ECU, but i dont think it will be much more difference for a lot more money.

Frank...It happens to the best of us. Great video.

No not the cruise!!! I just installed mine last weekend partly because of your videos and a small surplus in my bank account. I live Calgary Canada in the summer and rode my 390 to where Jackson from veridian lives. Smart guy great service. Now i can rest both hands, sometimes at the same time.

Great place to ride. Like Heidi Cartoon. Keep protect green. Thanks for the video

What about ECE 20.26 is it not of any value? Isn't safety worth something?

Thanks for the review.

Did you touch on how it well it interfaces with other units? Can it mesh with Cardo/Sena? Perhaps you didn't have the ability to test that?

I think sometimes the technology to help us drives me absolutely crazy!!!!

Agree with you about the Edge. My black was superior until the battery wouldn't last but half a day at max. Glad to see more competition in the market!

Prime Day deal has it at $104 (25% Off). With Amazon you never know if that's it's regular price. But an amazing price.

Great Thanks! Reviews on Amazon confirm. I've been waiting for something like this. Oh, and thank you for no background music or obnoxious intro!!

Dropped 300 rally twice in 3500kms , both times at rest , putting foot down and nothing there.

Hey there 👋 do you ever post your gpx files?

I agree with you Frank. 😅

Yes, they are. Opinions are divided. Some like them, some hate them. 😅😂

3 of us went together and split the cost of one. I changed 7 tires in the last 2 years with spoons. This thing is magical. We did run into a tractionator tire that we couldn’t re-inflate so had to take to a bike shop to get it done. Even car tire places couldn’t inflate with the big tire poppers. So even if you can replace it, sometimes you still have to take it somewhere.

Thanx for answering. I design motorcycle parts.. Now i am in a weird situation. ..a young lady involved. So bought vitpilen + swartpilen. Me, vitpilen; bought the airflow box thing...which i made me my self last time. (had allmost all ktms + husqies. One cylinder engines love to breath. The 701 Husqi has better Nm (tork) instant. So: i don't want to ruin the pilen by getting to hot lean-wise. But i race it in high rpm's anyhow ..cuz otherwise, used to lot hourspower, fall a sleep anyhow. I did it for that beautiful girl. She has a A.H. father. I made her happy. I can buy those bikes for dealerprize. So you can't do something wrong. Even 5Year old ones are more expensive than i pay for a new one. So!!: Should i buy that thingi ...or not??? Gerrit

That would be a blast to have the DR650 on those trails, like you said a dual sport would be perfect.

Had a very similar drop situation recently on my 790 and yep, in some circumstances its an absolute beast to lift (such as on a hill). It's fairly easy to get it off the ground, and it's very manageable once you're over that tipping point, but that point just before it tips to balance is a real challenge, feels like all the weight just suddenly increases 10 fold.

Looked like a cool ride Frank, TMM tires definitely have their limits in mud, I’m thinking next set for T700 will be Tusk 2Track

Such roads are fun. By the way Mitas are made in Slovenia too. Had them on the Bandit 650 that I recently purchased.

Rocks, real ROCKS in gravel is my nemesis. I can do it (just) but I don’t call it fun after a few miles. And that’s with decent tires. It’s a skill thing. Or more accurately, a confidence thing. And the fact that I struggle to lift my bike, a Norden, makes it all the worse. Sure, practice pick ups in the back yard isn’t impossible, but throw in loose footing, and uneven inclines and the game changes. Especially for another old guy. 😰

I’m looking for the link for the water Repellent spray you use

Maybe give Tusk dual track tires a look the next time around….

Old man, YOU sold me on a KTM 390 Adv as my late in life return to motorcycling for “blue highways / mild off road exploring. Adv Matt, too !!!

The large rocks on gravel doesn't look like much fun to me. Glad you made it OK and good that you are enjoying the route. I agree that a nice fresh rear and a fresh front with some good knobs is always appreciated. Thanks Frank!
