Do you have a video for antenna ring replacement process?


jason hines says:

thanks for the great tip videos used it today and was a great help for the
newbie…new set of TKC 80’s.

i plan on longer trips on the highway also so it needs some power dealers
that we have talked to said that the dr and klr struggle on the higher
speeds and the only thing i am worried about with the versys and strom is
dropping them because there is a lot more to break where your 800 can take
major abuse and i dont want to be worried about dropping the bike and
breaking alot of stuff on the bike. kind of takes away from the whole off
road feeling!

Awesome Players says:

Sweet. Send us some video!

Awesome Players says:

Sweet. The first scratch is the hardest… Enjoy the new ride.

Hey – sitting here in Ulaanbaatar Mongolia, watching your videos. Good job.
My F800GS arrived on Tuesday and this weekend I will be getting it ready
for these “roads” . Thanks !

EricsCorner19 says:

so would you recommend the 800 for an enduro? My other choices was the
single f650, Kawasaki Versys, or the Suzuki Vstrom.

Awesome Players says:

I try to keep those guys away when I work on my own bike!

Awesome Players says:

Sent you a message.

Awesome Players says:

Yessir. Love that thing. Got a wicked deal on it otherwise I would still be
analog for sure.

novascotiadualsport says:

Great stuff as always. Just don’t forget to pump your brakes to build up
pressure before your first ride.

Erik Bruinsma says:

sound at 5:00 hilarious 😉 Keep up making all your great movies, seen them
all and enjoyed them!

great video! i think the other Awesome Players should have been there to
provide some colorful commentary while you worked on your bike….lol
please post more vids

Awesome Players says:

Galfer…already bent one…

boxwoodgreen says:

What’s the “little tool” you used to help get the axle stared out, and
where would one find one??

GLH03 says:

Is that a 3/8-Inch digital torque wrench. Great tool, that’s a good one you
have there.

Awesome Players says:

They are fine but a big rock will bend anything! Check out Renazco Racing
and mention the advrider site and get 10% off. Twealcom makes them and they
are available at F800Depot as well.

Awesome Players says:

I think the F650 is more of an enduro (Sertao or the old Dakar model) and
the V-Strom less and the Versys even less. If you watch my clips you see
what I do and what abuse the bike can take. You could certainly put
knobbies on the Strom and the Versys but less ground clearance would be a
major issue for me as would the 19″ front tire. A DR650 or KLR are choices
as well if you don’t mind the low power on the road. You will certainly
like less weight on the trail! Compromise time…..

Stephen Stallebrass says:

Would you reccomend them then? The only other after market rotors I’ve seen
are Wunderlich.

Awesome Players says:

@boxwoodgreen If you google “f800 axle tool ” you’ll see that lots of
companies make them. I added the link to the one I bought to the
description of the video since you can’t post links in comments.

Awesome Players says:

Good point! I’ll add that as a title. Thanks.

Stephen Stallebrass says:

Again, nice rotors, where from?

MuckMe02 says:

Love all your vidoes, but the tech tips will come in extra handy when I
pick up my ’10 F800GS tomorrow!!
