Riding the longest and tallest suspension footbridge in the WORLD!
A little bit of a change from my motorcycle maintenance videos. Been touring for the last 3 months across north east India, Bhutan and Nepal, so please forgive my absence from UA-cam lately 🙏🏽.
But I recently got to ride the longest and tallest suspension footbridge in the world ... The Kushma-Gyadi suspension bridge (344 meters long and 117 meters above the Modi River) in the town of Kushma, about 60 kms from the city of Pokhara in Nepal. Sharing the video I captured, because it was definitely an experience, and I recommend all of you to definitely ride it whenever you are in Nepal!

      Both adjusters should be turned equally in the same direction to ensure chain alignment is straight. Turning both clockwise should tighten the chain and turning both counter clockwise should loosen the chain.

    Hello from Spain! Great video - thank you. For years I have done many trackdays and always been confused by this topic. I would always go to the "suspension expert" at the circuit and ask them to do the suspension settings for me. My trackdays are over now but I am the happy owner of a Himi 450. Now, finally I understand things better. A couple of questions... - where do I find the maximum travel specification for the suspension? Is it in the owners manual or service manual? - Any suggestions for adding adjustability to the forks? Thanks!

    • @eazyontwowheels
      @eazyontwowheels 17 днів тому

      The suspension travel for both front and rear suspension is almost always listed in the owners and service manuals. The Himalayan 450 suspension travel specs are listed on page 15 of the owner’s manual :) As for adjusting the Himalayan 450 forks, you can change the springs inside to a stiffer or softer one depending on what you need. Or maybe experiment with a different weight fork.

As it's running the level will keep going down, keep adding coolant to keep the levels up, I had a lot of air bubbles coming up. No air in the radiator

  • @craigbeall5084
    @craigbeall5084 Місяць тому

    Well common sense would dictate, if we forget the service manual for a second, and rely on physics, the air in any closed circuit water system will always migrate to the highest point. With that in mind all we would have to do is get the radiator cap to be the highest point of the system in order to bleed all the air. If we parked the bike at a 20 degree uphill angle and leaned it toward the right side by 20 degrees the rad cap would almost certainly be the highest point of the circuit. Then fill the rad, put the cap on and run the bike for 30 seconds, take the cap off, fill it again, cap on and run for 30 seconds etc etc until all the air had been bled out of the rad. This way the tank could also stay on. I know this because I have removed the left rad side covers and rad cap to visually check my coolant level before. Might have to use a squeegy bottle with a pipe into it in order to get the coolant into the rad. Official Triumph coolant comes premixed in the bottle, so just drill a 5.5mm hole in the cap and feed a 6mm polyurethane or silicone pipe through the cap into the bottle and squeeze the coolant into the rad. Only down side to this exercise I can see is that it will almost certainly require 2 people to perform unless someone can figure out a way to keep the bike at that angle while getting on and off it to open the rad cap and top up the rad each time.

    For anyone watching, fill the new oil before putting on the filter. The manual makes it very clear there is a risk of air locking the oil system on these engines if you fail to do this, if you don't know what that means your engine has a very high chance of failing if it does form the air lock.

    • @eazyontwowheels
      @eazyontwowheels 3 місяці тому

      The procedure you’re mentioning is for the new tiger 1200’s (2022 model year onwards). For the gen3 tiger 1200s and earlier (like my 2018 tiger), the manual states fit the new oil filter completely before filling new oil. You can refer to the oil change procedure for the gen3 tigers here: api.triumphtechnicalinformation.com/handbooks/documents/624329815b05bf5ce5065128/pdf#page176
