Luck perhaps. I do change oil more often than some (3-5k miles). Don't know if that has helped or not. 37k miles on the bike now, still kicking.

@Windblown changed mine every 3k idk. Mostly on road Miles too

@@outdoorkreations7051 Sucks you ran into an issue. There is something going on with them for sure on some of the bikes. When I made this review at the end of 2020 I don't think the cam issue was known, or at least I wasn't aware of it.

@@Windblown It's quite new and really blown up on social media. I don't say it's not happening, cause it is. But there are more stories than cases.

You should have freeplay on both ends. Where it's easy to get into trouble is to think you have enough freeplay by only checking at the handlebar end. There must be at least a little freeplay down at the clutch. The clutch lever at the handlebar has a long range of motion compared to the lever at the clutch.

Yep, definitely an option! For me I find that In the time it takes to go to the shop I can have it done, save some money, and stay in practice for making field repairs to damaged tires/wheels when far from help.

Sorry for the long delay. Haven't been getting notifications of new messages. I converted to a single caliper to reduce unsprung weight on the the front by about 7lbs. A single caliper works fine for me. YMMV. :)

Google earth, online research, turning down any road or trail that looks promising. :)

Thanks. Sorry for long delay. I'm not getting comment notifications for some reason. Yes, the newer thermostat housings are round.

Sorry for long delay. I'm not getting comment notifications it seems. Yes, still running the AG battery and would buy again.

@@Windblown Great! I also installed one.

I'll have to check those out at some point! Thanks!

I usually lift the bike from the handlebars rather than use a front and rear hold. I have no idea what the width is. Not mounted at the moment. I've heard good things about the outback system but haven't tried it.

Thanks! And it is still holding up just fine and looks great. :)

I ran across a Yamaha T700 rear OEM tire that was the same way. Never seen one as tough to get off and I nearly threw in the towel on it. Options I can think of are - Remounting and going for a hard pavement ride with low tire pressure - or- Sitting it out in the hot sun for an hour -or- A longer lever bead breaker. Also, don't shy away from using a soap and water mix even for unmounting. As you make even small progress with the bead it will seep onto the edge of the bead where you managed to move it even a little and that will help as you go move around the tire working the bead. Goodluck!

Yoshimura Tail Tidy

@@Windblown thanks bro

Thanks! That's with the BD killer installed. I love the sound too though I wouldn't want it any louder.

@@Windblown no it’s perfect I wish I could hear some more clips of her going around, and thanks for that quick reply

I just got one myself, it does sound like a roaring jaguar oh my god YEEEEESSSSSS

@@johnny_boi77 getting one too once I get back from this deployment

These are the Cycra handguards.

Thanks! I put an Arrow Decat on it. I'm still running the stock end can. Gives it a bit more bark.

@@Windblown cool. Thx for replying 🤟🏼🍺

It's a fun ride with a bit of everything mixed in.

My camshafts are still ok. 35k miles (56km) on the bike now. I don't know if it makes a difference but I change my oil about twice as often as the manual call for.

Mine failed at 32,000km, lots and lots of others have had theirs fail too. My bike had twice the required oil changes, still failed.

Hi, I never had any issues with mine without a heat shield. As I recall I got the floor jack from Sears. It's just an aluminum body ATV/MC jack.

Thank you!

Yep I'm running a tail tidy with smaller after market signals. The exhaust tip does route into the area where the turn signal is typically located on most tail tidys so they probably just want customers to avoid potential headaches. My turn signals "just fit" above the exhaust tip. I've seen some folks just re-route their turn signals up higher onto the bike itself to make everything fit if running a tail tidy. Bottom line - It will work, but you may need to get creative :)

@@Windblown thanks for the info. If you happen to remember the website you bought it from?

@@1039denero I got mine from www.bellissimoto.com because they had them in stock at the time I ordered and most others places didn't.

Here you go: The route was developed by Adventure Horizons and they host the free GPX tracks for download on their webpage at www.adventurehorizons.com/

It appears to be just a stick on decal so I would think it could be removed fairly easy.

@@Windblown Thank you for your fast reply. 👍

@@heretoride Why would you like it plain looking? My exhaust kit is in transit from supplier. Was thinking on how it hopefully stay and won’t go off. Got some reviews that it does goes of unfortunately as its being used.

Very soon. I've got the 790 sitting in the wings ready and ready. 2022 was a "lost" year for me. Planning on a lot more riding and wrenching in 2023.

Windblown, it’s been a while since a video. I’m actually watching all your videos on the 790, to see if that’s the bike for me. A T7 is a possibility, but really want the 790. Where are you at now in 2024 with your thoughts on those 2 bikes?

I haven't. But since you brought it up that sounds like it could be fun, as long as I don't add up the costs... LOL. Sounds like a plan while it's still frozen up outside. :)
