Just got mine 100% buttoned up after starting an 12v socket install a couple of weeks ago. My lord.... F those fairings. After I sheering off the 3 nubs closest to the headlight on the left side, JB welding the one I could find back on(which surprising worked quite well) I feel like an expert. Thank the lord the Heed engine guards don't require any of that nonsense.
I don't have an Africa Twin. But I watched it just because I enjoy your channel. What a PIA! Woah. This video will be beneficial for someone with an AT. Good Job demonstrating. I would have lost my cool doing this. Great How To, Bro.
I'm a retired mechanic, and it's fun to see how others go about maintenance/ repairs. I have a 2019 Vstrom 650. To change its air filter, you have to remove the fuel tank along with a lot of the plastics.
It is such a shame that ease of maintenance is such a low priority for the Honda engineers. Not worse than other manufacturers I'm sure, but still a shame. Thanks for this video.
Now I appreciate the ease of air filter change on the Himalayan, three fasteners to remove the side panel, then three fasteners to remove the air filter cover from the airbox. Only problem is the air intake is rather low so no deep water crossings...
This is going to be a horrible answer but, I always have when cleaning out the airbox on any bike. Get the crap out without melting plastic, and quicker than “fingering the cavity” (that’s what she said) where the filter sits
I’ve gotta say that changing filters on my 2021 atas is ridiculously time consuming! Dumb design. Especially with crashbars etc. I did the IDBDR this fall with new filters and they were very very dirty after the BDR.
Love the outtakes. Good stuff for sure.

It really isn’t that difficult. Just a bit time consuming is all.

Excellent vid, perfectly explained and very doable for the semi-mechanical folks 👍

What a pia but you made look easy great video brother 👊
Thank you! Great job and HUGE help! 🏍
Thank you for sharing your video, much appreciated 👍🏻🇬🇧
Nice, informative video! I have a 2018 AT so this is relevant info! Thanks for posting.
Love the out takes 😂😂😂
Good videos you have there.
Could you make a video on air filter change please.
I would like to ask, why did you use contact cleaner?

Mine were positively gunky after all the dusty rides last year.
