A proper car from the golden age. Simple, no bullshit electronics, no touchscreens. Cheers!

I would prefer the bike to have a conventional speedo and rev counter. Many of the features found on the dashboard unit are unnecessary and make it more complicated. It's not always easy to adjust and the owners handbook doesn't explain things adequately. I wish it was as straightforward as my old 2015 reg 1000.

Nice one! You got me thinking if i should get one for my setup.. so as you know my aux battery is connected via a fuse and plugs in to the dc dc charge controller which in turns runs the fridge and is permanently connected to the solar... so my question was how do i keep my starter battery charged if my bakkie is standing for long periods... solution was simple.. connect one port on the aux box with a extention to the plug at the back that runs to the starter batt.. and bobs your uncle... now i just wonder if it will make sense to add a fuse to the extention when running the setup as with "reverse charging" the fuse is at the end of the line... thanks for the inspiration

I have had motor cycles and scooters all my life I am 73 and never came off at all, still riding. I think it is in your mindset, I wear the same gear all the time for bikes or scooters. I even raced bikes ( never got better than 5th, never mind ) but never came off. Just my opinion

Thanks This is good to hear, I drive a 2007 D4D Hill and am considering buying either a Xplorer or Conqueror.

We have a 2013 D4D towing a gypsy Rhapsody with average fuel consumption 7.7 l per 100km very easy tow

Thanks for the video :) We have a 2010 D-4D and it tows like a dream! never have to down shift or struggle to overtake / go uphill.

Are you selling it?

The gear change has been tractor tractor like for years its never bothered me

I went with the DR-Z mostly because of the weight difference and slightly better suspension.

How much is a second hand suzuki samaria?in rands

Are you south African if yes awe bra

Engine overheating

Oil return to head cleaner

Hi my bike 2011 is oil liking... May you share what's the origin of that ... Because I added those oil liking liquid stoppers but worked for a while.. but is back what should I check tkns. A million

Very wise decision on the Chinese bikes. Anything else would've been a disaster that you can only fix in Lala land.

I owned a 1988 (US). It was a litle slow on the highway but, it was great in 4WD areas. Wishi I still had it. Too bad we don't have the Jimny here in the US

I have two duel sport bikes one in the USA and one in Mexico the one in Mexico I have a italika DM 250 you know for the money it runs great the only problem for me is that at a stop I'm on my tip ties the one or I lean in one foot it goes anywhere the one in the USA is a Yamaha XT 250 this one is a little shorter cost more but I like them both the Chinese dose what any other bike take care of it and it will last be safe have fun

Great job my friend.

Is this ZA?

Number 8: the horizontal cylinders are excellent for warming/drying your gloves! I ride a 2000 R850GS (141k km) and in Norways often cold weather that is an excellent feature -- when I stop for a rest I leave the gloves on the cylinder and voila! I have warm gloves to put on when I continue my ride! (Just be careful not to put the tip of the gloves so that they touch the exhaust pipe; that will make extra holes in the gloves... ;-) ) Thank you for the video!

What is the white stuff he put on to keep from flash rusting?

Hello and thank you for this video. My main dislike concerns the twichy throttle response at near idle rpm. I foudn it very difficult on mine to be smooth from idle when opening (as gently as possible) the trhrottle after passing a round about or coming out of a curb. I tried mutliple fixes (the issue is wellknown) like a false temperature sensor which wil give the ECU the ''impression'' taht air emp is lower than it is in order to enrich a little gaz to air ration but it was still an issue for me.

Thank, this was really helpful. I need this to my Alaska trip.

Why you change the currency if you from SA 😂

Great car except RUST!

Honda ..reliability .

I have had the Samurai on my bucket list for awhile. Is it just me or do the interiors always look “dusty”?

I can go for about 1 minute.. after about 20 hours of static balance practice ALONE! Lol.. when you start out also try turning your bars one way “I did to the left” while holding your front brake. That’s a confidence builder. I was better sitting down at first too.. scooting in closer to the tank also helped me. You’re a pretty fast learner. For people struggling try what I said and it can take awhile but you will 100% get it down.

I have a BMW650gs and a Honda XR650l. Between the two, for travelling the bmw is better with the cush drive rear wheel. I prefer the XR due to its ground clearance and lighter weight, maneuverability in tight spots offroad and smiles per mile.

Wow sir how much for the car or what is value/price? Thanks

Broer! Jy is so afrikaans as wat ons kom! Baie dankie vir die video, ek koop moontlik my samurai binne die volgende paar weke!

Sorry, but can't listen to your horrible voice

Hot tip for all you 08-09 Gen 2 owners trying to sell your bikes, mention oil-consumption in your ad. We all know about the problem. So either say you corrected it or quantify the problem in an honest sounding way. Ignoring it will only encourage potential buyers to think the worst---that the bike has a problem and that you are not honest, with the latter being the bigger problem.

my prado had the same issue with the heater control. if you get some help you can pop the hood and get them to look at the back of the engine in the middle of the car above the fire wall in the engine bay while you twist your heater knob they should see the cable move and see where it gets stuck than its as simple as freeing it up.

2010 first dohc model, sold a few years ago 178.000km. Friend is riding it now and there are 210.000k on it (stll original clutch) only problem leaking rear ESA shock... no real other issues. Even the fuel gauge is original. Replaced the seat immediatly after buyng

Excellent video. No one should shy away because of the lower ball joints - just need to regularly check. We didn't get the diesel for a few years later here in Australia. Happy travels!

Cool...ride

My opinion is that you ride a dual sport bike on shorter rides, usually with friends, carrying very little and riding faster, more "sporting" because help is near at hand should you break down or get injured. You ride an ADV bike slower because you are carrying more gear and/or help is not nearby so you don't risk crashing or breakdowns. And any size bike can be used in either way but dual sporting is much more fun on a lighter bike, and traveling is more comfortable on a heavier bike. Generally speaking of course.

I just bought an XR650L! I rented one in Ecuador for my first solo 3 week ride and just loved it. Mods are cheap and easy in the US (front sprocket, bigger gas tank and rear subframe support is all I’m doing.) No it’s not a perfect bike. And not right for everyone. Who knows, I may find out it’s not the bike for me. But it’s my second bike, and I hope to modify it into a RTW machine. I am NOT however looking forward to approaching head on a huge semi truck at 60MPH with a 30 MPH side wind that is the norm in Kansas. That’s what my Gold Wing is for. 😂 It’ll be fun to have a bike I can work on and have fun with. (Oops! Really old post! 😂)

What an amazing adventure! I agree with your choice of bikes for the trip, something new, inexpensive, and very common. It makes it easier to get parts and repairs and if you have to abandon the bike or it gets stolen it is not a big loss. I wouldn't choose to travel as quickly as you needed to but we all have different time schedules and it is much better to go and have to travel faster than to not go at all. Thanks for making this very interesting video.

I'm sitting in one right now runs like a new car we call it the father of the Fortuner, Tell you something interesting we using it at construction site, but when I brought it came with one proper shaft missing, don't understand why but it doesn't affect how it drives

My 3.4 averages 18L/100km

You haven't had wheel bearings yet done yet? Wait till you see how much those cost....

Diesel with manual is perfect combo

No rear diff lock? That’s like driving a first gen Mercedes ML from 90s

Gees you guys have a ton of cables all over the place.

My KDJ95 with 1KD-FTV engine on mixed driving, but mostly long haul driving gets between 0.85 to 1.0 liter pr 10km. That is without roof rack, R151f transmission and about 31" all terrain tires. Thats around 11.76 to 10 km/liter for you ZA folks. Was a couple of weeks in Namibia 2 years back renting a 2KD-FTV hilux with rooftop tent and manual transmission and it really wasn't bad on fuel consumption. Seems that common rail really does wonders.
