@@pyramidsinegypt for me personally it’s mainly the bulk of original, the compactness of new plus, but not as important, the big weight reduction.. I also like to put original back on when time comes to sell and not worry about the aftermarket getting scuffed on trails. I’m not sure if your question is genuinely asking or being sarcastic but hopefully I’ve given an answer either way 😀

​@@thecampingbiker791Hello, no, it was a serious question. I hadn't considered weight and keeping the original safe. You usually hear people replacing the exhaust for sound reasons but you didn't strike me as the person to go for bigger vroommmm so I genuinely wondered what actual benefits the replacement of the stock exhaust would bring.

@@pyramidsinegypt nice one, actually the original exhaust on these bikes sounds very good, so definitely not a sound thing, but on the weight side the original is nearly 3 times the weight! Thanks for watching and all the best, Andrew

@@kramnam4716 something to be said for simplicity, my little secret is an old 2 stroke MZ 250, literally no technology to be messed with 😂

@@Bob-ts2tu thanks Bob, appreciated 🙏

@@adam346 yes, I’d hold off for now until we know more.. eventually we’ll have an answer to it but going to take time 👍🏻

@@mikedowning4603 to be honest both skid plate and centre stand were excellent quality but I always knew I really wanted the RR so living with the SW skid plate resonance sound just tipped me to what I wanted.. centre stand easy to fit and top quality 👍🏻

Thanks Andy. Do you still have the stand? If so would you like to sell it?

@@mikedowning4603 sorry Mike, I sold as soon as removed

@@somersetlevellersmtb5564 from Amazon in May, just double checked an paid £18.77 which was amazingly cheap! Lowest price as of today £23.66 amzn.eu/d/07G6BO0v The prices bounce about a lot but every week Victorinox Store (via Amazon) puts a knife up dirt cheap for short period, sometimes saying delivery will be 4/6 weeks, but I’ve found they come within the week!! I’ve watched this daily and bought about 12 knives for review and test (and because I like them 😂) all at similar discounts.. bought the Huntsman, a brilliant knife but not yet reviewed for channel, with wooden scales at half price on a deal.. other thing I do is pop them into my basket for a few days and then remove.. to then sometimes see that knife reduced.. 🤩 Coincidently I’ve got another climber and Huntsman in my basket, the Huntsman is at good price but with transparent scales.. thinking of modifying it as don’t want to touch the wooden handled one!! Not giving too much away the Climber is a definite keeper as is the Huntsman and between that and the Huntsman (none wooden) will be my long term travel knife..

@@LeeThomas-1 yes, quite easy as long as you’re okay cutting it, if I was doing so I’d cover the plywood bottom with a bit of thin foam to make it a bit easier on the bottom of bag and seat 👍🏻

@@MAXED-TRUCKING you’re probably right but the previous 500X had aftermarket with no issue over 4 years, and I think many people fit them without tuning and without issue.. I’ll report back when get more info and resolution, also keeping close touch with others experiencing same 👍🏻

@@ThomasKeene-w2f I think they are for very adverse conditions as it just gives additional waterproofing and for me camping it’s nice to have relative dry gear inside the tent.. also my gortex gloves eventually lets water in 😬

@@angrypanda6942 no just turn clockwise with no need to turn back, it dispenses a small amount of oil and then stops..basically the quarter turn pressures the oil through and then stops when that oil has gone

@@thecampingbiker791 so I do have to keep turning it to feed it?

@@angrypanda6942 yes, 1/4 turn at a time and with general riding only every few days.. you shouldn’t need to refill for 2/3 weeks. Also, best using it when on minor road or relatively moderate speed as it will spray everywhere if doing it on a motorway for example. To refill just wind it back anti clockwise until it screws off and then ready to refill.. when refilling pour some in but not to top, let it settle as oil will find its way into bottom mechanism and then top up gradually to get full reservoir.. only takes a minute or so 👍🏻

@@Paul-ud7uw maybe I should have had a practice first off camera, but then where’s the fun in that 😂

@thecampingbiker791 I had the same problem, the tarp took longer than the tent. I use a vango tunnel tarp. Very entertaining video and shows the real side of camping. 👍

@@Paul-ud7uw problem I have is I never read the instructions 😂

Me neither😂​@@thecampingbiker791

@@johnpawson7400 yes, it’s a really nice compact bit of kit for travel and I think one most suited for travel, but….I’ve about 12 more to review and test, one of which is a beautiful wood handled one which I’m a bit smitten with….watch this space John, there’s a wide variety of them coming up on the channel and I’m enjoying this side hobby/addiction 😀 👍🏻

@@DennisBloodnok thank you 🙏 yes one of beers I had was the Adnams, never seen it before but very nice.. I also tried 3 others 😂

@@neilwilliams9844 I’ve bought about 12 new and a couple of collectable older ones….think I’m hooked 😂 Smong those I’ve got the Huntsman Wood, which is virtually same as Fieldmaster but for corkscrew instead of Philips, and the Swiss Soldier knife, very similar to forester… look excellent combination but not used yet

@@richardbritain7435 me too, and the Leatherman is a permanent part of my motorcycle tool kit 👍🏻

@thecampingbiker791 the Leatherman has a lovely leather pouch for my belt too. I'll have to think of an excuse/reason to get a nice Victorinox.

@@richardbritain7435 I’ve bought about 15 (so far) and my excuse to the wife is I’m reviewing them 😂

@@davehalliday6657 yes, showers are always a nice to have but sometimes as you say just go with the flow.. pub definitely worth slumming it for one night 😊

@@andyninja949 not very often nowadays but thoroughly enjoyed it 😊

@@mikedowning4603 no turkey this time but a few peacocks strutting their stuff.. wonder if the turkey disappeared one Christmas 😂

@@mikedowning4603 thanks for the feedback Mike, proper country pub and nice area! I’m sure you’ll love the 500X 👍🏻

A quick update Andy. I went to see that 2021 CB500X I mentioned this morning in Hereford and the owner is riding it over to my house in Dolau Powys as we "speak"☺️. Do you have any recommendations for CB friendly insurers?

@@mikedowning4603 nice one Mike, I went with Bikesure last time.. they gave me the best price but sho around for best deal, obviously checking cover is similar.

Thanks Andy. I'll give them a go.

@@mikehurley5052 basic site and brilliant pub.. love these type of sites

@@neilwilliams9844 ha, I must sound rite northern 😂 worth a visit just for the pub, handy location if travelling about 👍🏻

@@glenmayepete I’m going to wait and see if it comes back on, which I’m suspecting it will, then see dealerships response at that point.. then if we hit the brick wall get them to swop exhaust over 👍🏻

@@MrWillith87 interesting feedback, there seems a few having same issue!

@@tweetchris46 got to say they’re top quality and at 64 I fully expect it to outlive me 😂

@@thecampingbiker791 I looked at how Much the current R35 is!!!!!! Wow, I paid £85 for mine new from an advert in MCN back when they first came out.

@@tweetchris46 yep, not cheap 😀

@@reuel7544 indeed so 👍🏻

Hi David, they’re so well engineered for comfort I’m not surprised that the 12ltr is so comfy, I’m loving mine and well worth the money 👍🏻

Thanks Maurits, appreciate your thoughts on the campsite reviews… I’ll take a look for a foam cover, have been using the small fluffy one that comes with camera but always up for improvements 👍🏻

@@user-ok4fh5ys8n good morning ‘Ull’ from cloudy Lancs…yeh, me too, the original man bag 😀 Loving this one for the bike and plenty of room for my bits and pieces…have a good un!

@@DDLovett yep, crikey is a good word for it 😂 and my Decathlon one has served me well, but I’m thinking long term travel plans and ability to carry everything of value in one place and to have front pockets for quick access when travelling…to be honest I spend money cautiously but if I want something that perfectly fits the need then it’s worth it, just don’t tell the wife 😂

@@neilwilliams9844 I’ve got so used to a backpack it feels odd without now 😂 Really appreciate the feedback, it’s a bit of a solo activity filming and editing, but to get such nice comments from you and the campsites helps to keep it going.. thanks for the support 👍🏻

@@joewilliams5396 fingers crossed for mine 👍🏻

@@Jimbobs_Adventures I’m just on different thread with him and although initially okay it’s now happened a third time.. he’s into dealers tomorrow and going down the warranty route with Honda… going to update me tomorrow 👍🏻

@@johncummins3860 yep, it’ll need sorting properly if happens again 😬

The Honda dealership did it, I’d take it in if you did get light coming on, just in case there’s a problem under warranty

I think so, but let’s see how it goes over next few weeks.. I’ll report back either way 👍🏻

Likewise, great to meet! Really enjoyed it and not surprised you’ve booked again..it was well organised and just very relaxing 😀

Has it happened more than once on yours

@@thecampingbiker791yes this is my 3rd time .. comes in after about 130 miles of riding after each reset

@@Mrfish2015 what are the dealership saying about the problem

@@thecampingbiker791o2 sensor .. they flash the ecu to alter the fuelling now I think they’re going down the warranty route .. its in tomorrow I’ll message you after

@@Mrfish2015 appreciate that mate 👍🏻

Might be the settings, but it was particularly windy, thanks for feedback though.. filmed quickly on iPhone without mic attached so made a bit in the hoof really 😊 I’m hoping it’s sorted now but appreciate the tip from your dealer, fingers crossed 🤞

Yes, was thinking that myself.. would be handy

Could be, should find out over a bit of time

Hopefully it’s all sorted but I’ll report back later on, seems one or two others have had similar issues

@@thecampingbiker791 sensor gummed up during break in period maybe..

@@40mosher who knows… Honda dealer didn’t 😂

@@thecampingbiker791 which is slightly worrying.

@@40mosher isn’t it just!! I think they’re just hoping the problem won’t come back 😂

Fingers crossed then, it does sound like it could be the aftermarket exhaust causing a glitch

I’ll see how it goes with being reset and just take it step by step, hopefully sorted 👍🏻

Already reset with Honda but I’ll keep that in mind I do happens again 👍🏻

One way or another it will, sounds like it’s exhaust related 👍🏻

What does that actually mean 😬

@@thecampingbiker791 There is a diagnostic port under the seat. By joining the wires in a certain sequence, you can read and clear codes yourself. There is a bridging plug available for the CB500x And I would imagine also for the NC. This fuel injection system has been this way since the 1980's ( Although back then, an LED flashed in sequences on the ECU itself. Where as today the engine management light performs the same task)

@@p.istaker8862 very helpful, thank you 🙏
