First service HONDA CRF300Rally after 12.000 kilometers. El Salvador 🇸🇻 |S6-E59|
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- In this episode I am riding to the capital of El Salvador: San Salvador. I have to go here because my Honda CRF300L Rally needs her first big service. In the last 12,000 kilometers I managed to break a couple of things (mostly because of crazy sea crossings in tiny boats) and some parts simply got worn after so much abuse...

Staff Honda / San Salvador:
Gracias a todos, por el excelente servicio que hicieron en la moto de Noraly. Muy profesionales y de gran valor. Los felicito.
También !
Sounds like they did an update on fuelinjection/mapping.
Alaska runs more smooth now.
Before the service she ran rough (predetonation) on low rpm, 1/8-1/4 thottle and some load.
@@amentothat8633 I was wondering if she rode in lower gears hearing that noise!
Sounds like a very honest shop. If that was in the US, pretty sure they will make her replace entire rear tail assembly, rather than just a reflector.
@@MeenPo786 you mean to avoid the predetonation?
my guess is she was never aware of it.
she's more into rocks and vulcanos, not so much into engines.
That was an exceptional Honda dealer. They are generally pretty good but these guys seem to have really done you proud. Great that Alaska is fighting fit for the adventures to come.
Love Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. It's Noraly day! Thank you for all you do to bring to us what we cannot see for ourselves, and for keeping the dream of moto-travel and adventure alive in us. Stay safe out there!
YES! MWF -- Itchy Boots time!
@@c150gpilot Absolutely!!! Here at work... I put all my calls on hold... 😉👍
Retired half a year ago. Noraly helps me ceep track of the days. And she loves her bike as much as I love mine!
Yes, well said ! My favourite days also. What an amazing show. Documentary I guess. Thank you Noraly for your fantastic work to bring us along on your travels.
Can onley agree.
MWF is Noraly days
Looking forward fore the next video.
Wow; my hats off to that Honda dealership. Way more than I expected. The owner and mechanics all performed above and beyond my wildest expectations. Thank you guys for taking such good care of Noraly & Alaska. Motorcyclist around the world owe you a debt of gratitude for taking care of our Noraly so well. Gracias.
Are you Chris Moody from Northern California?
Nope. I’m somewhere in the great open prairie.
really on top and see the workshop and the seriousness of the mechanics.... congratulations!
The fact that Alaska took so little damage through all this time is a testament to the quality of the bike and the ability of her rider, you are both looking happy and amazing. Stay safe and good luck!
@@continuum.explorer but inside de Vulcans 50 km/ our and in the mud . She knows the limits.
I would agree if my Rally didn't come with an out of round wheel from the factory.
Apparently others have experienced the same issue.
its a honda
Awesome that they took the time to really take care of everything Alaska needed done! REAL CUSTOMER SERVICE! very hard to find here in USA anymore
Honduras and el Salvador have some of the best and most efficient mechanics I've ever delt with. Very handy people.
They even gave her a ride home on that Honda which was nice of them.
thats the best service center ....honda should award this service center for their hospitality and professionalism
Wow, I can't believe you managed to break that many things and still crossed a couple of countries. That machine is a beast.
That is a well organized and busy shop. They did a good job on Alaska's makeover.
I know where to take my bike next time it needs service - mind you its a long ride to San Salvador from Manitoba. Thanks to the folks in that shop for the comprehensive service on Noraly's bike. I bet it feels like a new machine. Back to having to adjust those pesky stock Honda mirrors though 🙂 Keep a wrench handy....
Wow that is a professional looking shop. Crazy what a difference how motorcycling is critical transportation in other countries and how here in the states, it's a hobby and our shops so not look like that.
Horses, motorcycles and toyota hillux are the way to go in Central America
So true. Went into the loacal Honda dealer the other day for a part. I'm immediately met by the salivating sales staff and their barely contained taste for fresh sales meat. By the time I made it to the parts counter at the back of the store, I had been approached by four of the vultures. Hate that place
@@sknell9493 Same here, $11.00 for a quart of oil, WHAT!, I remember buying a qt. of Pennzoil for 15¢, yes, and they didn't even blink. Honda make so-so products now, but their sales and service are disappointing.
@@robertklein9190 That’s cheap for two pints of motorcycle oil that’s the quality required for a Honda motorcycle . In the U.K. we pay much more for semi synthetic quality brand motorcycle oil from a Dealer . That Pennzoil sounds like the cheap 💩 they put in cheap Chinese Penn fishing reels not good for proper motorcycles like Hondas & Suzukis that Rev higher .
@@emanuela7319 Southeast Asia too!! 😹 Loved my Toyota Hilux and Honda Wave125 😹 Horses everywhere when i was a kid but not many these days 😢
BUEN PRECIO Y BUENA MANO DE OBRA SALVADOREÑA . FELICIDADES MUCHACHOS DE HONDA EL SALVADOR CLIENTA SATISFECHA
Big props to the San Salvador Honda dealership.
Why is Noraly so enjoyable to watch in her videos- and a for a million subscribers)? I have been watching for three year and I look forward to each release. These shows are so popular because Ms. Itchy Boots has remarkable qualities. She is highly intelligent and wonderful story teller. Her ability to get along with almost any type of person as she travels the world. Over the years you can see how her motorcycle skills have advanced. She is very charming and has a beautiful, infectious positive attitude that inspires all of us. Finally, her high ethics are apparent in all she does. Be safe Noraly, and thank you for sharing parts of your life with us. Not surprised…. A million and growing.
Noraly is an explorer, navigator, film producer, film director, actor, script writer, a die hard Geologist among the many posts she holds.
Your happiness getting "Alaska" fixed is contagious.
Wishing you and " Alaska" many more thousands of miles of travel.
Wow, impressive work at that Honda shop getting so much done for you so quickly!
It is nice to have an episode all about Alaska. She carries you well, and deserves to be the center of attention every now and then.
No doubt the next service will be in the US or Canada somewhere, where parts and tires and pretty much anything else will be a little easier to get. It is such a comforting feeling when a knowledgeable mechanic has serviced your ride!
12,000 km is almost 7500 miles. I'm guessing that's going to put her in or very near to Alaska. Depending upon how much puttering around she does in Mexico, USA and Canada.
That shop looked very professional to me. I live in the Pacific northwest and parts are sometimes hard to find in stock here too.
@@johngaither3830 But that's only if she makes a bee line to Alaska. When have you ever seen Noraly make a bee line? If she doesn't reach that mileage by the time she reaches the USA, I'd be mildly surprised, but she will likely do that kind of mileage around the states alone, I'll wager.
Best to do next service in northern Mexico and save a bunch of money.
@@charliedillon1400 antes de ingresar a EEUU
Así somos la mayoría de salvadoreños tratamos de hacer bien nuestro trabajo, en este caso los chicos de honda, saludos desde california.
Nice Honda shop. Professional service, well equipped shop with parts available. Good job Itchy & San Salvador Honda!
I had every confidence that Alaska would get serviced & sorted in El Salvador . Proper old school 5 star Honda Workshop that looks after their customers . Alaska is now ready to take on the next 12 ,000 Kms ( 8,000 miles ) .ride safe 👍
Many people hear stories of violence in Latin America and wouldn’t think of going, you just cruise through having fun… thanks for showing the world what’s really happening around the world. Cold lake? Wait until you get to Canada 🇨🇦. The way to make any vehicle last… regular maintenance
She commented about all the "cat calls" she received while walking to a cafe a few episodes ago. Noraly isn't very vocal about the downsides of her travels. It's an attempt to keep her channel upbeat and positive despite the disrespect she gets.
I think, most of the violence is in big cities. Noraly's journey is mainly at rural areas. She have talked about avoiding the big cities purposely
@@johngaither3830 I totally agree with you. Her filtering out the bad things was in my mind too, when talking about the cat calls.
@@GiladGur Like anyplace, most of the problems are in cities, after dark, and between criminal elements. If she stayed in any place for more than a day or two you'd see her getting all kinds of unwanted attention. She's gone from places before people even realize she was there.
@@GiladGur what does it mean to be a cat call?
welcome 🙏🏻 to my beautiful country🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻
Could just be me, but Alaska sounded much happier 😁as you pulled out of the shop. That was a great recap of what happened and what needed to be replaced and/or maintained. Onward Noraly. Thank you. I enjoy this type of video as much as the vistas and drone shots. Well done! 👍👍
Yeah, it's not just you. Alaska was purring. I agree, nice recap, but her vistas and drone footage are second to nothing else out there! I mean Nothing Else, including bigger budget nature shows.
yes the Honda maintenance schedule is way too long…the motor sounded like it had thin oil many episodes ago….and someone need to show her the trick of running a prefilter sock in the snorkel so the standard airfilter can survive the maintenance schedule
I agree👍
Check out trek ethos for Pacific Northwest crf 300 rides and epic drone shots also
Old fashioned service where the tech listens, checks and actually uses his innate skills rather than what the service manager tells him. Very good documentary. Safe travels
I hope that Honda someday buys Alaska from you to study in depth the effects of riding a CRF300L across the whole south and north American continents. The research data you can provide would be priceless! Oh and thanks for taking us all along on your journeys.
Don't know why I thought it was a 500 ?
@@cbx500cbx Because Alaska is bigger than life. Both the bike AND the state. And Texas thinks it's so big, how cute is that!
@@cbx500cbx Her last bike, Ronin, was a 500.
@The Forsaken One Yes, smaller bikes for boat trips and mud traps. The Himalayan certainly sounded a lot better than this 300, though.
@The Forsaken One Ah, that makes sense, it is a good bike for riding on tarmac. I wonder if her 2nd Himalayan is still in Peru.
I don’t know about other people who follow you Noraly, I immediately know a minute into any post if it’s going to be a good or a so so post. To date I haven’t been disappointed apart from the moon scenery in Arizona and in similar places in Mexico. El Salvador was amazing. Enjoying your post in 2023. 👏👏👍
That's a fantastic looking service center , I've seen lots worse here in the UK.
Glad Alaska is all sorted again 😀.
Yup and it wouldn't be £80 per hour !
It looks like a very professional, well set up workshop, that wouldn't be out of place in a developed country.
Glad you were able to get all of your service repairs done in El Salvador - it looked like they were very thorough and friendly. Enjoy your stay and stay safe. I look forward to continuing the journey with Alaska back in shape. 😊🏍
Alaska looking and feeling GREAT after her Makeover! I wonder when the Honda guys realized who she belonged to?
Itchy Boots is bound to cause a big sensation in any motorcycle shop anywhere in the world these days. Glad you found such a good shop to service Alaska. Happy trails!
They don't have a clue who she is or what she does. Just another wacky gringa motoring around Central America with a lot of electronics and gear.
@@johngaither3830 maybe so initially, but I bet they're quickly getting a clue as word spreads thru that shop. And the kudos they express to the lucky few who had their brush with greatness before they knew what just happened.
I noticed one of the workers in the shop was taking pics of Noraly, so they may be catching on how famous she really is.
@@danadiggins793 I agree. She's known worldwide; her base began international and it is still. Plus, I doubt most of their customers are filming. the work,! They knew who she was 5 min after she got there if they didn't know before. What's nice is she doesn't seem to have to make a big deal of it one way or another.
@@charlesharris2749 agree…she is one very special person.
Im so jealous right now coming back from a vacation in Honduras riding a dirtbike all around the country chasing waterfalls and now im back to work being teased by your videos. Enjoying watching your journey!
Oh Noraly you never fail to put a smile on my face. Stay safe and enjoy ☺️
Un saludo para los mecánicos del taller que tan bien te trataron a TI y a ALASKA.
You are the queen of motorcycling. Many thousands of views within six minutes of posting. Go Noraly. I know that you keep your angel busy!
Amazing that a series of videos makes me want to travel the world, but also makes me want to set up a little bike shop and fix bikes all day.
I have learned so much about Central America watching this series, Noraly.
Your adventures have been amazing in this part of the world. I love that you take us with you off the "beaten track" to really interesting places.
Your fluency in Spanish is great bonus for us viewers because we get to hear genuine interactions between you and the local people. This is so valuable in understanding the culture of these regions.
Wonderful to see Alaska all freshly serviced and ready for the next 10,000+ kms. I know that feeling well -- nothing like a freshly serviced bike with fresh oil and new tyres!
Makes a rider feel confident and ready to tackle anything!
Looking forward to more adventures from Central America.
El Salvador is a small country...but it has everything you need, like getting your honda bike service,in honduras they couldn't>..
Woo Hoo...I know Alaska is a happy camper now! I have to snicker how the service manager was filming lots of pics of Alaska and Noraly in THEIR shop! Don’t you know they will be boasting about that. I know it has to be quite a privilege to be the ones that get to do their part on seeing you through your journey! Thanks for sharing!
Bravo El Salvador 🇸🇻. Nice shop and work. Respect to all from Durango Mexico 🇲🇽
Thumb nail description should have been "Itchy Boots as pillion". Had to chuckle in hearing Noraly's excitement in describing the maintenance details. Non-riders, I'm sure don't get it but that's ok. 16:10, in the background the shop employee photographing the world-famous Itchy Boots and Alaska in the shop, clearly that will be in some marketing for the San Salvador Honda operation. Happy for Noraly to again have Alaska in tip-top shape and with new rubber too.
Service for the CRF300 Rally or L should be done a lot quicker than what the manual says in your case. Your journeys are on unpaved roads and your load is much higher than the usual rider. I am a CRF mechanic here in the Philippines and the conditions you are encountering now are almost the same here. Love your videos. All the best for you and Alaska.
Amazing job there by the Honda service center in San Salvador. The scene was reminiscent of your Royal Enfield service in Kuala Lumpur in Season 1. Cheers from Malaysia 🇲🇾
ESSA El Salvador, We should all go and do a quick shout out to the service center for taking good care of Noraly and Alaska:)
Google reviews.
I thought it was cute and funny how the mechanic behind Noraly took a picture of her back and Alaska, while she was filming.
I think you'll become a story for that shop. "What about that time Itchy Boots came in?"
Take care and ride like the wind.
That was very cool that Alaska get her first maintenance services and be ready to explore El Salvador.... So be careful always and God bless.
Real good work by those Salvadorian boys.
I'm so Happy that my people in El Salvador did a great work to your motorcycle and treat you with respect
That shop looked really good, efficient, creative and helpful. That bike is TOUGH. What it has been through, amazing.
Big fan of this review on the maintenance / durability. Lots of Honda fans are interested in more of these
You deserve millions ❤
RUclips channel is one of the few channels that excites me
With you ... as if I am traveling the whole world
And I see the beauties of the world
Charlie broke the news, but left a cliffhanger. Fun to see you two together!
I have not owned a bike for 30 years, so I cannot explain why, but I really enjoy the maintenance videos. Maybe it's because I see the episodes where parts get damaged or broken and it's so satisfying to see them being replaced or repaired. So glad everything is ship shape again. So love your channel. Looking forward to the next phases of your trip.
Noraly's smile gets bigger as Alaska gets better 🙂
I am a new subscriber and so glad I found YOU and your many adventures. I am in awe of your daring spirit. No clue how you go day to day all over the world, be it pavement or dirt road/trail. I spent 20 yrs as an over-the-road Truck Driver and have seen millions of miles setting on top of an 80,000 lbs. big rig. You do it on a DIRT BIKE - OMG! Nothing but respect for your spirit/talent and pure guts bringing us ALL along to actually see/witness the beauty and wonder this World has to offer. Above all, be SAFE.
I am happy because they fix all the things you've worried about. Now Alaska is gonna fly, thank you for the service of your bike for safety sake

It's probably just in my head, but a fresh service and some new parts never fails to make the bike feel like new! Seemed like a great service center, good on the employees there for taking good care of all your concerns! Safe travels!
Bravo to that service department.
Muchos latinos estamos siguiendo tus aventuras junto a Alaska, no me pierdo ningún capítulo ❤️
I'm so happy that Alaska has gotten her well deserved service. The new mirrors and leg are pretty, too. Perhaps not as cool as the other mirrors, but they will do the job, until you get to another country, where you can find the same mirrors you had before. The freedom of riding is one of the best tings in life!
A great sense of relief that you were able to have so much needed work done on Alaska. That shop really came through for you in repairing and replacing parts. I hope you have good riding from now on without any problems. Love the channel and always look forward to your next experience. 🏍💕
When she did these maintenance videos before everyone used to say, “do it yourself” or “ you didn’t need to do that maintenance for a while yet” she can afford it and she has peace of mind that its fixed or it has new chain/ or wheel bearing’s so who cares! Good job and i hope the rest of your travels are just as fun and carefree as they have been so far! Always a joy to watch your videos!
Well, ask the same at an european dealer.... They don't know what welding is, no way they allow you to be so close to your bike, no way they 'll carry you back home, etc, etc... Enjoy those countries where service is still human!
USA same. LawyerLand.
Aside from the masks
Don’t skip El Salvador humble ppl little country big heart l👏🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻💪💪around here where I live they say that they don’t allow customers inside the work area do to insurance issues etc etc a whole lot of bs if you asked me I really hope the lady had a great experience in our country El Salvador cheers
So true
Good times for statism, for politicians and bureaucrats. In latam the state are even bigger (specially in the economic area) than in west countries but socially there are still some areas where they still enjoy some freedom
I was pleasantly surprised by the highly professional service of the Honda dealer in San Salvador. Great job!
So El Salvador is the same size as my mates farm. Cool.
Hello from Australia!
Wow! What a great job they did. That has to get you extra stoked to get back on the road again!!! Heel veel plezier en bedankt voor alle reisinspiratie !!!
Wish you a smooth ride through out El Salvador, Noraly!
Beautifull scenery and what a good service from Honda El Salvador 👍👍
There is nothing like the feeling of a freshly sorted bike. Vaya con Dios , Noraly !
Wow, that view at 4:50 is incredible!
Noraly, your courage, commitment, patience, endurance, and artistic expression are a shining example for the world. I salute your "joie de vivre". Wind at your back!
There's no better feeling than leaving the shop with everything "good" again Happy Easter, Noraly. Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.
That was great. I was thinking you'd be lucky to get two-thirds of those things repaired or replaced in San Salvador, and they did pretty much everything. Fantastic service.
Very large per capita use of motorcycles there.
nothing's better than a fresh serviced bike with new parts
Estoy feliz por el servicio que reciviste en tu moto en El Salvador.Estoy orgulloso de la mano de obra de mis paisanos.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏.
Pèro si es una empresa resonsable tienen que prestar un buen servicio creo, para eso les pagan.
Maravilla. Ya pedía esa moto una inspección y mantenimiento. Muy buen trabajo de Honda San Salvador. Moto nueva para otros 10 mil km. Tu moto sabe que la quieres y por eso nunca te dejará en el camino sola. Brillante viaje.
I'm so happy to have found you! A big hug from a retired teacher from Hungary 😀
Also I am happy to learn a woman, talking about motorcycles. It's no usually. America it's beautiful and people they have a big heart in all the countrys.
In 10.24 second of your video I show a rider riding “Bajaj Domineer” bike in your left side. “Bajaj” is an Indian brand and it feels me proud.
Every time you drop a video from El Salvador I am relieved... and thankful ))
Hermoso que tenga traducción y subtitulos en español. Entiendo el inglés pero a veces algunas palabras no están en mi mente. Gracias 💚
It is always great when you find a Honda dealer who goes those extra steps further to get your motorcycle back in top running shape. Continue to enjoy your Alaska and the next 12000 kms. The countries of Mexico, USA and Canada await you. Happy trail riding, Noraly.
Wow what a great Honda Service center.
Alaska is a very lucky motorcycle. She is living a life far beyond expectations. Itchy Boots inspires people and motorcycles to live large. Maybe most viewers won't do what Noraly does but, I'm bound to believe people put more effort into their lives because they are inspired by a Dutch girl on RUclips. I know I do. Thanks!
You said it man. Me too!
Sir she is such an inspiration her chanel is my me time i always looking foward to her posts 👏👏👏
YES, She's making the world better.
@@MikePara111 I believe that is her motivation in life. If the everybody did that they would be happier than they are but, I think people lose themselves.
@@jerrym3261 funny how I talked to a buddy of mine the same thing yesterday, with the same expresion "people losing themselves", into bad habits, into what others tell them how to be, how to think. So, back on topic, YES, it takes just one good example that you resonate with and slowly life gets better, or you want to put the same passion and energy into getting beter in whatever subject you like, doesnt have to be moto adventures
Thank you Honda San Salvador, for making Noraly so happy again! Avid follower from Kenya.
Alaska got a well deserved day at "The Spa!" 😁
Awesome service from that dealership 👍😎
Safe Travels...
Looking forward to seeing your next video!
Blessings from Georgia, USA 🙏🌹💜🙏
I really hope the Honda service team realized who they’re supporting 😀. The one and only LEGEND Noraly 👍🏼. Once they come to know, I can imagine their sense of pride and satisfaction. That whole dealership is now a new bunch of eager subscribers
Like how excited you were to have all that work done and to your satisfaction. I am sure you now have the whole crew at Honda dealership following you now....lol
It's a little sad that many of these roads, which are considered secondary or arterial roads, are in such poor condition. I understand that some of these countries do not have the resources to maintain these roads, much less to upgrade them....But the landscape of many of these countries is spectacular, and should draw more tourist activity. Thank you, Noraly, for navigating these "charming" back roads, so we don't have to!
those are all peatonal roads, they are in poor condition because they are rarely transited.
The touristic routes for motorcycles in El Salvador are well know and used daily by travellers because they enjoy the superb quality of them
The Alaska gets rejuvenated so Noraly, the joy is overwhelmingly visible on your face, Alaska is no more a machine but it's a living thing the loyal trustworthy companion,
While watching your vlogs the emotional bond is created automatically with you and Alaska , whether you know me or not doesn't matter bit I am proud that I know Noraly
"itchy boots as pillion" that says it all for every rider feels the same
Hello Noraly , enjoy El Salvador 🇸🇻. Keep safe from the Land of Smile 😃
Always great when things work out like that. Re tires, bought a old trusty Honda XL600V some yrs back, with MIchelin Sirac on. Those tires had me so surprised that when the time came for replacement, I bought them again. Worked surprisingly well on/offroad. Cheers.
Glad 😊 you got Alaska fit by so gentle clever people at the Honda Workshop. Visible you were content, 🤗. All the best. Andi 👋
Hoy como todas las semanas estuve viendo los videos de CHARLY SHIMAN y fue donde te presento a su comunidad. Por consiguiente muchos empezamos a seguirte.
En lo personal, quiero felicitarte por tu gran hazaña de aventura por el mundo en moto y decirte que cuando llegues a Argentina, tienes un amigo que te espera para ofrecerte lo mejor de mi Pais, (ademas del asado) todo nuestro amor solidario..
Obviamente que también estaré esperando tus publicaciones para saber como sigues la ruta del destino.
Abrazo grande y buenas rutas..

Liking the Ascerbis handguards, matches Alaskas colour scheme nicely 👌
what a great shop, and more service bays than I was expecting or usually see.
Your glee in having Alaska fixed is infectious. You do have a wonderful smile.
Dear Noraly. I saw you in today's chapter of Charly Sinewan and I already started following you!! Your channel is fabulous!! Kind regards from Mexico
Ah, it does feel good after your bike has had a service, you feel confident and ready to go, the only pain is in the wallet, ha,ha. On to the next adventure, let’s go! 👍
So glad you have hit and surpassed one million subscribers. Nobody deserves it more than you young lady, don’t change your style or your sunshine personality. You brighten my dark days.
Nice to see Alaska with a full makeover!
She looks like a million bucks 🙌🏍🙌
It is great that you managed a route, albeit a bit bumpy, that afforded beautiful views on your way to the capital city! Fantastic Honda dealer! They solved all your issues for a reasonable price and got you on your way in one day. Can’t wait to see what comes next. Ride safe Noraly!
