If your fork starts to leak after riding in bad roads in dust and mud, take a beer or soft drink can, cut it open and smooth out the ends with the handle of a knife or a piece of wood. You can use your racks as an anvil. Then gently wrap the aluminum around your fork and gently scoop around the seal wiper. In most cases it will solve the problem if it’s dirt that got caught under the seal.
Thank you for the inside and the advice. Definitely it will be useful in the future. Yet I think the reason I got the fork seal leak, I got a flat in Whitehorse and I didn’t align the forks properly. Thank you again much appreciated!!!
Beautiful ride. I was supposed to do it last year but then we decided to do some stupid house renovations. read to follow along on your ride though. Great video.
Hello Konstantinos, Your channel is really cool, your videos are incredible, congratulations on the trip, this gives us even more motivation to hit the road. I wanted to ask you a question, in August I intend to do the route: Toronto/ThunderBay/Winnipeg/Saskatoon/Banff/PrinceGeorge/ArticCicle/ArticOcean and on the way back the same route but stopping in Hope/Vancouver. Can you tell me if with a budget of C$6,000 for food/accommodation (motel and camping) and fuel I can make this trip in a Honda CB500X ? All the best Thanks 🤟🏼
Hello, Happy to hear you enjoy my videos and thank you. Most definitely it is an amazing road trip route to take. To answer your question, I will say yes your budget is good as long as you combine camping. Also to mention, the northern you go (Albert, BC, Yukon) you will find a lot more free wild camping if you wish to do so. And just keep in mind the lower, cooler temperatures. I hope this helps. If you have any other questions I will be more than happy to answer you. Just let me know. My regards, Konstantinos 😁🤙
@@tkspirittraveler a bucketlist thing. And i want to be at all 7 polar circles that are accessible by bike or car. 4 down, 3 to go for me 🙂 Iceland, Finland and Russia
Amazing job!! I enjoyed your video very much!! I left eagle plains to goto Tuktoyaktuk on Sept 14, I turned back with 90kms remaining to Tuk and rode straight back to Eagle Plains, it was a long day. Be safe and keep up the good work
Did the douche bag move his bike from the sign so others can get their picture? Nice how they parked their bike in front of the sign then just leave it there.

@@tkspirittraveler perfect! If you come by Arizona or Utah. Let me know. You will have a place to work on your bike, get some food and rest.
@@Kavika-xh1qj thanks sounds great, definitely I’ll keep it mind!
