I just googled them and no - they're from Slovakia not Slovenia. But it's pretty there :-)

@@GoodWeatherRider haha sorry! I could have sworn it was Slovenia.

Sounds similar tbh :D

Thank ya :-)

Indeed. No great views but great fun to ride :)

Oh yes. As usual :D We'll get lost again soon :D

Oh and I just realized that this is you :D

😂

Haha yeah, some stunning views this day 🤣

Thank you very much :-)

Not for me fortunately :D

Hey mate, thank you very much for the comment. Imho the versys is very underrated. It's a great value-for-money bike and and you can basically do everything with it. I guess you'll be very happy with it - never had a major issue or breakdown so far (55.000km/34.000 miles so far). Cheers

Thank's mate :)

Thank you very much :-)

I really understand this :-)

I appreciate that :)

Hi there, regarding your first question: to be honest - no idea. I just played around a bit with the suspension settings and had no idea what I'm doing :D It feels OK currently, so no reason to change the settings again at the moment. Regarding the tire question: Continental TKC 70s

Yes, it's the Puig Touring Screen

Absolutely - thank you very much!

Thanks man!

Yes, that's the best thing when riding small roads - no traffic :-)

Hey, thank you for the comment :-) Yes it's a great bike and if you're using low gears and rev it a bit, the sound is nice and she pulls really good :D

I can well understand what you mean. I bought mine new (built 2020) in spring 2021 and it has now ~ 53.000km on the clock. No major issues so far - just the usual stuff like some chains, brake pads and many tires :D The only thing that happened 4 times so far is that the bulb of the low beam was broken. However, it takes 5-10 minutes to replace it. I guess that happened because I often took her on really bumpy roads or gravel roads- bulbs don't like to get rattled too much :D It's a great machine! Thank you for the comment!

@@GoodWeatherRider You are welcome. My 'major' issue is that I have big feet and therefore large boots. The rear brake pedal is short and I was not aware of it but for the first two sets of brake pads I did not realize I was riding the brake. Now I have a new rotor, a third new rear tire and rarely use my rear brake, just to hold the bike in place if I am waiting on a slope. The front brakes are very smooth and work great with one or two fingers. I am using Shinko E 705 tires which work quite well for me. Nice to be in touch with another rider who actually rides his Versys. Alas, I can not for six months out of the year since I live in Alberta and we have long winters here.

Hi Monk, I'm currently using Continental TKC 70s - they work really good on tarmac and gravel for me, as I'm not riding extreme in any condition. But I also had a set of Michelin Road 6 a while ago. The MR6 is a fantastic road tire (better than the TKC70) and Gravel Roads shouldn't be a Problem, as long as you're not going too fast- especially around corners. Cheers

@@GoodWeatherRider Ok cool! I might consider those in the future. I was out of motorbiking for a long time and figured I better go all road for now. Looks like here in US they are called TKC 70 Rock. I had a terrible time on gravel with my Road 6's a while back but it was pretty fresh n chunky gravel. I'll give em another try someday :) Thanks so much for the info!

The TKC70 Rocks is a bit different, compared to the "normal" TKC 70. The front tire is the same but the rear tire of the rocks is a bit more offroad focused - with less expected mileage. If you just google "tkc70 vs tkc70 rocks" you can see the difference. But I'm not sure about the availability in the US. However, have a great ride and don't ride too fast on gravel :-)

@@GoodWeatherRider Great info! It would be great to find a tire as "Versatile" as you know who... I still haven't really tried out the long travel suspension. One of my favorite things to do on a KLR 650 was to aim for potholes...thats 7.8 in travel vs the versys at nearly 6 in. I think ill get braver as it gets closer to being paid for hah

Appreciate that :-)
