Another awesome video sir! Your knowledge is impressive and has helped me out a ton on my Goat.
Good to hear from you sir... thanks for watching... :)
Good tutorial on getting the head bearings adjusted. Enjoyed the video John and RIDE SAFE OUT THERE!
good thing you did them...didn't look like much grease in there. Thanks very informative going to refer to this in future...you the man
Good to hear form you sir... thanks for watching.. :)
What an excellent example of showing the minimal grease that is actually applied from the factory John! I could see the lower race looked as if water ingress had started to rust slightly. Surprisingly not seeing a thin steel plate & encapsulated rubber ring seal under the bearing? I wouldn’t have thought the balls would be loose! You definitely don’t want 1 of those to fly around the garage floor! Thanks for sharing!
Edit: I think there is a seal!
Good to hear from you sir... thanks for watching. :)
I watched quite a few of your videos of the Ibex 800. I seriously consider buying one and your review videos are very interesting and helpful. I had a few R1200GSs and like the ADV bike ergonomics since I am tall.
Right now I have a 1989 Yamaha Vmax which I fixed after setting for 12 years.
As far as this video is concerned. I can't believe the Ibex has ball bearings instead of tapered roller bearings. The last time I seen ball bearings in that location was on my Kawasaki H2 almost 50 years ago. I am also from central MO.
Good to hear from you. The Ibex seems to be a pretty solid bike so far, it is pretty much all KTM 790 Adventure. The steering head bearings are the KTM design as well... Hope you get that new ride soon... thanks for watching... :)
Great instructional vedia. Really appreciate your videos.
Glad you liked it sir... thanks for watching... :)
Excellent.
Excellent video. Hope you don’t mind me sharing this video on Facebook
Good to hear from you again sir, yes.. share all you want.... thanks for watching... :)
I will assume you are still under warranty.... Makes me wonder if all that is necessary... If the wear causes issue wouldn't you be able to have that done under warranty? I think this is maybe your hobby.. take it apart, put it back together.. hobby.. Love it.. I get it.. Great videos.. Keep them coming. :-)
I think he is a bit like me, an old mechanic that just wants things to be done right. Also there is always going to be a problem with wear and tare components that become contestable under warranty. If the dealer is a not good, they might not support the warranty. but I think the reason why he does this work is exactly what you identified and its good for the viewers for when the warranty runs out. 😀
I have been watching your videos to get an idea about cfmotos quality. I have a little Papio ss on the way, so i will have first hand exp soon. I am really considering placing order on the new 450 MT......... For now it blows everything out of the water in the under 200 kg adv offerings (i own Rally 300, took about $3000 to ger it sorted out). The ball bearings are the first neg thing i have seen on your bike, interesting you say its KTM set up. Thx
Good to hear from you sir, Hope you get that new bike soon ... thanks for watching... :)
Great work John, must have a go doing my honda cb 500s it has 17k miles on the clock and is probably due attention.
I do find if l take my hands off the grips it'll shake sometimes.
Thanks for watching sir, good luck with all your projects... :)
another great video.... do you do this annually, or did you do this just because it is a new bike and you have ridden it hard, or did you hit a certain mileage? Interesting stuff. I like to service my own bikes, but there are certian things on my Goldwing I let the shop do. It's just too much work to do in my garage and wrap it up in a couple of hours. It would take me days and the shop can do it in an hour or two. But, I am really thinking about selling one of my other bikes and getting IBEX, but it sure looks complicated, like this Goldwing.
Good to hear from you sir, I service all the bearings in my bikes every winter and also when I get a new bike I want to make sure the bearings are lubricated properly. I do not believe the Ibex is any more complicated or complex than any other motorcycle. The covers are a bit of a pain to get off but after removing them the first time I think I can get them off and back on fairly quickly. Once the covers are off the bike it is the same as pretty much any other bike... Thanks for watching and good luck with all your projects... :)
Hello, do you know the size of the bearing? Thanks for the great videos.
Hello there... good to hear from you... I do not know the steering head bearing dimensions. It is the same bearing as is in the KTM 790 Adventure. You might be able to get some information about the KTM bearing... thanks for watching... :)
great video. I've watched all your 800mt/ibex 800t videos. great stuff. I wonder if you can help with with the size of the front axle allen key size and if you can confirm that the rear axle nut is 32mm? very much appreciated and thanks in advance
Hello there sir, good to hear from you... the front Allen key is 12mm and the rear axle nut is 32mm... thanks for watching... :)
@@ozarksbackroads5484 thank you
What are you using for grease?
Hello there sir, good to hear from you. I am using a high pressure molly wheel bearing grease... thanks for watching... :)
Honestly for me is easier to just take the thing apart, I would be very concerned of hitting something like the screen or chipping/denting something
But hey if it works for you great
Ouais, bien mais 5-10 minutes suffisaient pour ça…le reste c’est du baratin 😀
Thank
Thanks for watching... :)
