Hi Tim - I do my own oil changes at earlier intervals - no one that I know of ever wrecked an engine putting fresh oil in it. I own a few engines so I email myself the change mileage. I use a cheep plastic sealable drain container and recycle the drain oil etc properly. My Tiger 800 and BMW each take1 full jug of Motul synthetic. I have changed early prior to a trip. $200 for an oil change alone is a lot of beer and pizza.
Safe travels
Great point! I'll be doing my own oil changes going forward. I just wanted the service reminder reset but I'll just have to deal with that next time.
Hello Tim...yes Patagonia...that is a dream destination (unfortunately out of reach for me). Greetings from Michael from Germany!
I agree, dream destination. Cheers Michael!
I have to agree with you on cost of maintenance. I just replaced my Tiger explorer 1200 after it was totaled with the 900 rally pro. The 1200 was oil changes at 5k and at 10k "major service" which included valve adjustment & throttle body sync....$1500! The 900 is valves every 12k, and I would guess similar cost. Oil change/minor service every 6k. But, WHAT A FANTASTIC BIKE!
They do make great bikes for sure!
Thanks for the video Tim!
Regarding Baja......I would like a video detailing what you needed and how you prepared for the border crossing with the bike, paperwork, insurance, visa length, etc. Thanks again.
I will definitely add that to my list. Might not be out for a bit though my trip got pushed back to January or February. But I will definitely make that video for you.
I change the oil and filter on my Tiger for about $40.00 and 15 minutes of time. 4 qt of 10w40 Supertech full syn motorcycle oil from Walmart and a Napa gold oil filter, easy peasy ! Also a late model Subaru oil filter (eg. Fram XG7317 ) fits perfectly and has more capacity than the short motorcycle filter.
Good to know! I normally do my own oil changes but I wanted the service reminder reset. I'll be doing the next one myself.
Appreciate the Q&A.
Looking forward to Tuesday and learning more about the course!
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks Tim for the video… great content as usual.. I’m looking forward to hear about the online mechanic training that you are doing… take care and safe ride… 🤙🏼
Thanks! More info coming soon
Kentucky is my home state (now in Northern California, Oakland) Glad you enjoyed my home state. $200 for an oil change? Thats crazy.
Very cool! I thought it was a great state.
Yeah, it's a beautiful state with lots of great backroads to enjoy. Fall when the leaves are chaining is spectacular. I have a farm there. @@FTAAdventures
Thanks for the Q&A Tim always appreciated. Can't wait to see more travel videos.
More to come!
Cheers Tim. I'll be interested in the mechanic course. Sounds like something I've been after for a while. Jim UK
Thanks Jim! Good to know
Nice Video Tim. BTW I recently bought your book to help support you in some small way. Lots of good info in there and the illustrations by Amanda were great, especially the cover. :)
Thank you! I really appreciate the support. Amanda is a very talented artist!!
Enjoyed the Q&A vids Tim. Good luck with up coming plans sounds great .RIDE SAFE OUT THERE!
Thanks Henry you too!
Enjoyed the video my friend. Safe travels
Thanks, you too!
Nice video, looking forward to Motorcycle course ….😊
Very soon!
Dude i did my own oil change with good oil it was like 90 bucks with a filter. As for valve adjustments it’s not that hard once you get the tank off it’s pretty gravy.
I’m doing my own going forward. I wanted the service reminder reset. Wasn’t worth it.
I like your videos, very helpful and has improved my knowledge of travelling. I will be going around Australia next year. I don't know if you have ever been there or not. But I have watched a few videos of guys going to the tip of Australia in North Queensland. Very challenging especially on a DR 400. Very hardcore. Enjoy you next adventure and stay upright.
Thank you! I haven't been there yet but it's on my list of places to go.
You are awesome…love your UA-cam. Yes 🎉Patagonia is on my bucket list too. If you need a travel buddy let me know.
Awesome, thank you!
Definitely with you re. oil change mileage. 10k miles intervals is just crazy with modern Motorcycles. I don't care how special the oil is - most modern bikes are in a far higher state of tune and therefore more highly stressed than the average car (not including new cars with tiny turbo-charged engines). Yes, motorcycle oil has to lubricate gearboxes and clutches (excepting those with dry clutches and separate transmissions of course), so it is highly engineered and full of special additives, but it has to work hard. 5000 mile or yearly changes for me - I'd like a shot at high mileage reliability 👍
I agree completely!
In the winter do you just stay on the southern parts of the US?
Yes, I spend a lot of time inn Phoenix over the winter and explore Arizona from a home base,
Are you sure about the oil change intervals? I have a Tiger 850 as well, the intervals are 10 000 kms, not miles. Also, any issues? Mine bounces above 50km/h, the dealer can't seem to figure out why. Thanks for all the awesome videos!
You’re right I was looking at the wrong number. My bad, thanks for letting me know. No issues with mine other than a tire noise at 60-62 mph. Looking to change tires soon anyways so that should go away.
Is the Tiger that difficult to change oil on? $200 is insane and seems worth the effort of DIY? Idk though maybe there’s another reason you have to have it done?
I wanted the service reminder reset. I’ll be doing my own oil changes going forward
Patagonia or bust!
Good to see you. Super t indiana
Good to be seen!
Did you say a while back you were putting together a video about getting the paperwork straight to go to Mexico? Does that ring a bell?
Not sure if that was me but I can put that together
@@FTAAdventures That may be of interest to many of your followers. :)
So, would the Patagonia ride be a fly and ride or would you start from Arizona? Just asking for a friend just in case he wanted to stalk you down there and back.
Ideally I would like to ride down from AZ but I'm not opposed to flying in and renting a bike.
Sad you didn’t answer my question. Really curious what your favorite city is!
It’s in todays video in like 10 minutes
Had to do two parts
@@FTAAdventures oh okay thanks Tim!
why do you not do your own oil change,,,pretty fundemental stuff ,,
I typically do but I wanted the service reminder reset
Any particular reason you're having the dealer do the oil changes? Or is that just to do an annual service and have the dealer service record? My Triumph dealer charge closer to $300 for an oil change, which is just ludicrous. I've done it myself every time after the break in service.
I didn't do this one because I wanted the service reminder reset. I'll be doing my own going forward.
@@FTAAdventures I figured. I do the same if it's all tied into an annual service visit and I'm not putting many miles on a bike in a particular year. The price stings though. It makes no sense that a motorcycle oil change atbthe dealer costs 2-4x what it costs for a car, when it takes way less oil and a fraction of the time. Other service fees make sense, but not that one.
