I get at least one very valuable tip from each of your videos! I particularly like your no-nonsense and Direct Delivery. You get to the point quickly and don't spend time wandering around as do so many other people posting their opinions.
One thing I do, very simple, and it reduces the weight of the tools you carry: Replace all possible bolts by BTR (6 pans) and nuts by nylon ones. It's cheap, very easy to fin in any hardware basic shop, and you carry only 3 6 pan keys instead of a lot of wrenches. Just add a simple extender tube to it, and you're done! I did that on all my bikes when it was possible, and it reduced my tool weight by 50%!!! But all your tips are useful! Keep on going and riding! :D
He is a balkanian and as a balkanian knows how to survive simple cheap and clever I thing that people from balkans are going to survive longer in a mad max world lol
Another great video! When you think that it cannot get any better - it does! Keep them coming. It's always a pleasure to get the real deal information from someone who has some experience and has done a thorough research on the subject - thank you for sharing!
Excellent, practical advice. I have already copied your clutch cable idea, but I covered each end of the cable with a finger I cut off rubber gloves to keep dirt and water out of the cable. The 'storage ' area under the panels is brilliant and I will definitely put this to hood use. The front sprocket cover allows easy access for my chain oiler too. I am wondering if I mounted it here would it be better than on the swing arm as it would be less exposed off road? Something to think about. As usual great stuff and I wish I had known this year's ago rather than learning the hard way. The lead from the battery i have a lead which attaches to the end to make a USB charger. made by Oxford. €20. Using this i can easily charge my devices without extra wiring. For me very useful.
Yes I done similar also but I squirted some machine oil into the cable - then (like Richards method) covered the extreme ends with a little bit of black electrical tape , followed by black heat shrink over the top to keep it all tidy and secure. I always carry a knife if I need to cut off the heat shrink to use the cable . I also did the same for the throttle cable
This extension cable... gave me shivers... you have no fuse man! Add fuse! As you started to play with this cable I held my breath waiting for sparks and fire. Battery gives lots of amps and power... do it for your and bike safety. On the other hand I like your videos and your attitude. Keep on going!
also what about the gauge of the wire he's using? Most jumper cables are far, far bigger gauge wire than that. If you're using a Battery Tender, it's one thing but jump-starting a motor is different. 10-ga wire is recommended, minimum, which is much stiffer than that little lamp cord he has! Wire used in homes is 12 or 14 gauge.
Great ideas, I must go through my tools and only carry things I use, oem tool kits have a lot of things I never use, great idea taping things behind panels, a spare key taped there would be a good idea and a key for your panniers/top box.
You've been a treasure trove of great ideas for me setting up my bike for my upcoming trip to Europe and Morocco starting next week. Though I shipped my bike to London from Alaska with way too much stuff, I figured I'd pare down what I take and leave the rest with my friend there. Hope to see you in Germany sometime in late May.
Helpful tips, as ever. Especially the idea with the pre-installed clutch cable is great, i will do it in the same way. Thanks my friend, ride safe, Hans
To access, electrically the battery I just created another 12V smoking socket female for gps or heated jumper.or jump leads extension now needs male 12v plug.....get some constantine(metal with high resistance so create heat)... wire and thread it through surgical tubing connect a fuse...potentiometer (from the constantine resisitance you can calculate how long wire can be..1.3m?...you can thread coated wire into jumpers handles gloves,,, or simply as grip warmers...having experimented best lengths I reduced kit to wire tubing fuse,,,so for 3euros heated grips or jumper!If wire too short too hot too long too cool....Oh I nearly forgot to say Thanks...Blagodarya for the videos..thay are helping me get through broken leg days....I tested constantine woven wooley jumper to -15C with only a leather jacket.
I fit a cigarette litgher on my bike and I was wondering to do a connector and use it the opposite way in case of a dead battrey. This is by far the best motorcycle channel based on experience.. Thanks for sharing your great knowledge with us pavlin.
I use a cheep multi meter which I keep in the ever so useful false petrol tank storage space (it has the battery right next to it ) on the underestimated 80mpg NC700 , Checks battery and charging ,plus useful if needed for other fault finding. A small pair of molegrips can double up as spare lever or gear changer too. Your right about the sprocket cover ,mine gets jammed up real quickly with grass and chain lube !. Great vid thankyou!
Excellent ideas! Even for my cruiser I can use some of them. Like the hinged shifter and brake peddle. Also, I'll get extra clutch and brake levers. I think all your mods will be equally good on my cruiser. Thanks! :-)
Really good tips... I dont have an adventure bike (I'm on an old VFR750) but it is going on some long tours. These ideas are just brilliant an sensible. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Once again a lovely informative video from a living legend I don't know why I started liking your video perhaps you talk straight unlike others from your own experience specially I love the tip you gave on securing a pair of cables a big hats off sir Cheers from Tamilnadu
great practical video that shows you know your motorcycle well Pav. Ive just bought a Triumph Tiger 800 XRT in the last month and i look forward to adventure and getting to know my motorcycle. so I can also build a tool kit and tailer her to be as one as a glove as your bike has become. Another great video ride safe my friend. Best wishes Tony
the jump cable idea is so practical ... because anything can happen to the battery and even if sme one wants to give you power u dont have the means to do it ..... it actually happend with a frnd of mine on a short bike trip but he got lucky coz he found the wires from nearby ......thankx for sharing the info all this is going to help me in my coming bike trips :) !
Hi Pavlin! Cheers to all the good advice you had trough the years. Following one of your mods for the tyre lever holder, I've got the 90's Tenere tool holder. The issue I am having is in finding a good way of mounting it. Currently I am using some steel buckle clamps but is not stable enough. Would you please share a detailed picture of your mount system. Stay safe! T.
As usual, lots of practical tips. Thanks so much for doing these videos. I will do the clutch cable tip. What about the brake cables? One respondent suggested using BTR fasteners where possible to reduce the amount of tools needed for a trip. That is so true. My BMW C650 scooter uses 2 torx wrenches that practically is able to remove all the fasteners. Great idea to do on a long trip bike.
What do you think about double inner tire. When the tire is drilled, new tire is inflated. On my wheel are two openings for valve. Double inner tire must be carefully mounted to prevent it from folding and damaging. But it is useful for driving offroad, when the tire is drilled
I am from India after watching your video it's inspired me to ride and your way of communication is very clear and good hats off keep on going my support will be always there for u 😋 ride safe chaaal
As to this sprocket cover...I'd keep it for off road exactly for the protection resons.If a branch goes into the sprocket then hello trouble.:) It's better to keep it, unscrew it from time to time to clean it up. The rest is great, love the ideas.
I have a versys 650 and have all sorts of mods.. For example a cross barr between steering handles.. So when you drop the bike your steer not get bend.. For tools i made a drainage pipe (pvc) with screw on end cap.. Water tight and realy cheap
Hello my friend! I like your videos and i allready learned much but can you please make a few videos of how you installed the fork springs and shift pedal etc just some vital videos where not so technical people who also have or want to buy the Yamaha Tenere can learn from your mechanical skills (especially also one the road repair videos of things that can brake down on the bike) I will buy a Tenere for my eastern journey..Again thank you for all the videos you made so far Pozdrav!
Palvin I didn't understand what modification you made near the brake calliper. What wire ? I'm confused brother !also how did you mount tool kit on bike like that?
The extra battery cable is a good idea, I also have it to connect my emergency compressor. But you should always put a fuse in the positive cable as close to the battery as possible. It is not a big battery but the short circuit current is still extremely high.
Nice video. But about your power cable connected to the battery: suggest to connect an in-line midi fuse or something close to the battery. Batteries can create a huge short circuit current if the leads hanging out accidentally get shorted one way or the other.
Amen brother. Very smart guy, he knows tons more than me, but I was cringing, waiting for the fireworks / fire when he connected his extension w/clamps, and then clamped them together at the handle insulation! ... and then again when he was tucking the uncapped SAE connector under the seat. With bike electrical, please fuse every feed off of the battery.
Thanks for the helpful tips ! Did you ever need and try the battery connection as a "jumper cable" ? The cacble seems to thin and long for high load current. I would also seal (protect) of the battery connector !
Talking about 8:00 - spare clutch cable. Dear Pavlin, why on earth ?? Every clutch cable I have came around (especialy the aftermarket ones) - they fail miserably in the most inappropriate of times. I was not amused and got mad, so I fitted hydraulic clutch kit - but not one from Magura (gotta be a bit insane to buy it at this cosmic price), I bought on ebay YAMAHA XJR1200 hyraulic clutch master lever for 20EUR and Clutch Master Cylinder Rod for 10EUR, fitted a hydraulic hose for 20EUR and I got myself hydraulic clutch for 50EUR plus some work of my own. I would say it beats having spare cables here and there hands down.
Very useful tips thanks. I have a guestion. Did you cancel the catalytic converter while changing the exhaust? Do you use power commander and open air filter?
Great video as usual and some good ideas, well done. However for cutting off the balls on the brake and clutch levers.....be aware that in some countries the ball is a legal requirement and you may fail the annual inspection with out it.
Hi there, very informative video especially on the tools to carry and battery charging cable. From What i see your bike does not have a kick starter and in India we are used to kick starter than electronic start of the engine. Did you ever face any issue while traveling due to complete drain of battery and how did you manage to start. If not then what would suggest if something similar happens or the battery cannot be charged and requires replacement. I faced similar issue once, but luckily it was within the city, and my bike doesn't have a kick starter as well, so i had to jump start the bike. but it was a pain to jump start especially during cold mornings. what do you say?
I've seen many machines that had no meter for monitoring the engine's status. From chainsaws to motorized vehicles every machine should have gauges that display the machines status. Ive never thought about it.... its wise to have and tangible way to keep an eye on your machine's performance.
Hi, I don't know your name but I hope you understand. BTW I wanted to say is your all videos which says about how to keep the vehicle properly, what all the things or gadgets are needed to go for long road trips are really very help full thanks service
brilliant! Thank you! Where did you get that side stand extention? Did you make it yorself? The price for this small piece of metal is insane (for new AT).
Very interesting ideas and sense, thanks for sharing those.....I like your tips and ideas coz it's simple, realistic and practical. Oh by the way if I could share one thing, there is now a power boosters that can start a car or motorcycle and as big only the size of a cellphone and as cheap as $15-$100+.Again many thanks with your brilliant, tested and practical ideas/tips,......
It is always worth looking to see if your bike has a magnetic sump plug. Not all bikes have them as standard these days. The very best I have found are an American brand called Dimple.

That plug in extension cable... Genius, absolutely genius!
Extra clutch cable already routed is brilliant. Good advice my friend.
Dude, you are a road trip genius
Am I? If you say so...! Thanks for watching David and ride safe!
I agree. Pavlin, you are our professor.
He is a balkanian and as a balkanian knows how to survive simple cheap and clever

Love the clutch cable idea. Grazie, ciao.
Good!
Excellent, practical advice.
I have already copied your clutch cable idea, but I covered each end of the cable with a finger I cut off rubber gloves to keep dirt and water out of the cable.
The 'storage ' area under the panels is brilliant and I will definitely put this to hood use.
The front sprocket cover allows easy access for my chain oiler too. I am wondering if I mounted it here would it be better than on the swing arm as it would be less exposed off road? Something to think about.
As usual great stuff and I wish I had known this year's ago rather than learning the hard way.
The lead from the battery i have a lead which attaches to the end to make a USB charger. made by Oxford. €20. Using this i can easily charge my devices without extra wiring. For me very useful.
The point about the clutch is very good. I will do the same. About the oiler, it should work the same way on the front sprocket. Ride safe Richard!
Yes I done similar also but I squirted some machine oil into the cable - then (like Richards method) covered the extreme ends with a little bit of black electrical tape , followed by black heat shrink over the top to keep it all tidy and secure. I always carry a knife if I need to cut off the heat shrink to use the cable . I also did the same for the throttle cable
Yes, this is very good decision. I have to cover my as well. Thanks.
This walkaround made me miss my xt660z that I sold a year ago. It's such a great bike. Great video as always, keep up the good work!
Yes, the Tenere is good bike, thanks for watching!
Love to ride on 660z...but when nobody knows
Looks awesome too.
Love all your videos. Simple to follow and always good advice 👌 👍

I like your videos and i allready learned much but can you please make a few videos of how you installed the fork springs and shift pedal etc just some vital videos where not so technical people who also have or want to buy the Yamaha Tenere can learn from your mechanical skills (especially also one the road repair videos of things that can brake down on the bike) I will buy a Tenere for my eastern journey..Again thank you for all the videos you made so far Pozdrav!
Palvin I didn't understand what modification you made near the brake calliper. What wire ? I'm confused brother !also how did you mount tool kit on bike like that?
The wire is to secure the pin. Tool kit is mounted with nuts to the frame.
I follow you and tmf from england !You are bout the best on youtube!
The extra battery cable is a good idea, I also have it to connect my emergency compressor. But you should always put a fuse in the positive cable as close to the battery as possible. It is not a big battery but the short circuit current is still extremely high.

Hey
Sind echt mega coole videos hier :)
Hab gesehen das du aus Deutschland kommst, machst du die videos nur auf englisch oder auch auf deutsch?
Great video, useful tips, thanks a lot, Gus
Awesome. Love this channel.
Thanks!
Good, practical tips. However, I'm unsure what you did there on the brake caliper.
It came with the 320mm breake disk.
NICE TIPS MY FRIEND! CONTINUE WITH YOUR GREAT VIDEOS.
Nice video and very useful tips, Gyro Gearloose.
Thank you for your dedication.
Cool bike and nice gadgets. A USB port could be useful for the navigation or smartphone charging. good ride!
I have 12 volt charger for that.
Muy bueno gracias🙏💕

Talking about 8:00 - spare clutch cable. Dear Pavlin, why on earth ?? Every clutch cable I have came around (especialy the aftermarket ones) - they fail miserably in the most inappropriate of times. I was not amused and got mad, so I fitted hydraulic clutch kit - but not one from Magura (gotta be a bit insane to buy it at this cosmic price), I bought on ebay YAMAHA XJR1200 hyraulic clutch master lever for 20EUR and Clutch Master Cylinder Rod for 10EUR, fitted a hydraulic hose for 20EUR and I got myself hydraulic clutch for 50EUR plus some work of my own. I would say it beats having spare cables here and there hands down.
Very useful tips thanks. I have a guestion. Did you cancel the catalytic converter while changing the exhaust? Do you use power commander and open air filter?
Yes, is is removed and I do have power commander.
Great video as usual and some good ideas, well done. However for cutting off the balls on the brake and clutch levers.....be aware that in some countries the ball is a legal requirement and you may fail the annual inspection with out it.
very smart advice thank you
Hi there, very informative video especially on the tools to carry and battery charging cable. From What i see your bike does not have a kick starter and in India we are used to kick starter than electronic start of the engine. Did you ever face any issue while traveling due to complete drain of battery and how did you manage to start. If not then what would suggest if something similar happens or the battery cannot be charged and requires replacement. I faced similar issue once, but luckily it was within the city, and my bike doesn't have a kick starter as well, so i had to jump start the bike. but it was a pain to jump start especially during cold mornings. what do you say?
If I have a flat battery, I will use the cable I showed in the video. When the bike is 600cc or higher, the jump starts are very difficult task.
I've seen many machines that had no meter for monitoring the engine's status. From chainsaws to motorized vehicles every machine should have gauges that display the machines status. Ive never thought about it.... its wise to have and tangible way to keep an eye on your machine's performance.
Thanks for taking the time, man!
