Awesome. COBDR will be a blast. Thanks for watching. These are great bikes.

It might be. The dealership got it fixed. I pick it up next and will find out what was wrong.

No, there are no rotopax mount holes. You can drill your own.

I expect you are making any excuse you can to get out on your new bike. It's a blast.

@@advmatt It won't be here until the end of July. The wait is excruciating! I'm trying to distract myself by planning on how I will build it out.

@@davidrosen5137 that is what I did. I purchased a lot of parts before picking the bike up. Oh, the anticipation.

Great description for this bike.

I don't have any experience, I have not changed the gearing. I have heard from others that have liked it.

The fork extenders are manufactured in a way that they are not able to come out of the triple clamp. The small reduction in clamping surface along the forks at the lower clamp have not been a problem. I have around 6000 to 8000 miles on the fork extenders. I am guessing at the mileage, but I have had then installed for a long time with no issues.

@@advmatt One more question, do you think that just adjusting the screws of the clamps is fine or do you have to put a product so that the screws do not loosen? Can they be loosened with vibration? Did you have to adjust them from time to time?

@@lucasnovara1745 I have not had the clamping screws loosen. I have checked them. I did not use any thread lock on them.

@@advmatt thaks good luck!!!!

Glad you like the bike. Here in the states I think this bike will take time to be adopted and for aftermarket companies to start making parts. Glad parts are available for you. I hope this bike lives up to your expectations. Cheers.

Once you learn where to keep the engine it really transforms the experience.

Yes. Here in the United States laws protect owners by allowing us to do our own service without voiding the warranty.

Yeah, for the 390 it is not as convenient, but protective.

Nice, forgot to mention airflow. I like the SW Motech crash bars.

I don't know, it has worked well on my other bikes. It takes some fitting.

@@advmatt I just mean as confidence on them working out together . I'd be worried about not being able to make it work and wasting the money and time. But from my experience T-Rex racing makes good products and so does Givi

@@MotoCampAdv Oh ok, I understand you. Yeah, I spend lots of time studying how the skid plates and crash bars mount trying to get as many images from different angels as possible. At some point I just go for it and make adjustments as necessary. Cheers.

Great question. For front tires my favorite tire is the Bridgestone Battle Axe AX41. I love the AX41 rear tire offroad but it doesn't last long on road. I don't often use this rear tire. On my KTM 390 Adventure my favorite rear tire is the Heidenau K60 scout because it doesn't have the center stripe of the other sizes and goes around 5k miles. As for tires in the 150/70R17 or 18, I haven't found a perfect tire. The Tusk 2track is pretty great especially considering the price. I am still in search of the perfect rear tire in this size. I have not tried MotoZ tires but they get great reviews. The price has kept me away. I plan to try the Mitas E07+, it has received good reviews. Hope this helps.

I picked up the Tuareg about two months ago. It broke down on me and is now at a dealership in California. I had to fly home. I will pick it up next week. I still have the 390 Adv. I took it out two weeks ago. I have been mixing up which one I ride. Right now, I ride the bike I have with me now.

Thanks for the T-Rex endorsement. Glad to hear it. I plan to fly back out Cali next week to pick up the bike and ride home.

I had the T-Rex crash bars and skid plate on my Super Tenere. The one issue I had was that oil filter plate, the screws kept coming off so I had to use Loctite and then they would not come off! They were solid units and I abused them, I would buy them or the Outback ones.

@@mikemills5144 I was trying to decide between those two brands and the Camel. I will keep an eye on the screws for the oil filter filter cover. Thanks for the heads up.

You might be correct. I think in certain parts of the world it will be successful. I am not sure it will be in the United States. Riders here a different bunch. The suspension will have to be upgraded for all us heavy riders and the bike is carrying some weight. The bike hasn't made to the U.S. yet, so we will see what happens here.

Good to know. I almost went with the camel skid plate but price made the final decision.

You are welcome! Enjoy it. I love mine and have had a ball on it. Thanks for comment. I really appreciate it.

Ugh, that is rough. I hope Triumph took care of you. Knowing how to do your maintenance these days seems nearly a necessity. It just worries me in some cases it could give brands an out from the warranty.

@@advmatt Luckily warranty, but it’s been 2 months without use of the bike so far 🤷

@@daveo9844 warranty is good but no bike is bad. I hope you have a back up bike. I learned my lesson with BMW. I had a warranty claim that took five or six weeks. I had to cancel an extended trip. After that I have always had a back up bike.

Great tip on the lube. I have have always used soap until buying the lube Rabaconda offered. I found the tire wanted to jump up on the first half of the duck head. I am still figuring it out, but it much easier than doing it on the floor by hand.

Great tip. With my Tusk bead breaker it pops pretty quickly just spinning it around. Just need to modify it a bit for bigger rotors.

I am not a huge fan of center stands for bikes I ride off pavement. My experience with center stands is they bounce around a lot and create more spots for the bike to get snagged. The cost of the center stands also seem high. Mostly it's personal preference.

You said. What a great machine.

Tusk 2track, here is my review ua-cam.com/video/4kkczz2j9Xc/v-deo.htmlsi=L679JlLAftNzv6L5

Some lowering pegs will help too, if you haven't added those yet.

@@advmatt 👍 I have the black dog pegs on. They’re a little lower than stock. Between the pegs, some bar risers, and the fork extenders…I don’t feel cramped at all.

@@Noyler83 nice. You have your bike configured perfectly.

Great setup. Seems like you have your tire setup dialed in.

I only replaced the leg, not the bracket.

Yes, I have put about 10k miles on the Trailmax Mission on my GS. In my opinion it is an 80/20 tire at best. The 50/50 rating Dunlop gives it is a gross overestimation of its performance in dirt and gravel. I am not a fan of these tires. If I was riding across the country and planned very little dirt roads they would work. I would not use them if I was planning to ride a BDR. I am sure plenty of riders have used them on BDRs, but so much traction is given up over a good knobby tire.

This tire setup is much better on dirt and gravel roads both in traction and braking. The Trailmax Mission tires will last much longer but in my experience are not really a very good handling tire in comparison. If you want lots of miles and ok traction go with the Mission. If you want the best possible traction with decent tire life go with the setup I have here.

Thanks.

Yeah, there was a suggestion to remove the plastic off of it. I may try that and see if it grips the tire and can break the bead.

I agree, the angle for the bead breaker looks like it’s pushing away from the bead and not down on it…

Thanks. I use Ride On fluid to balance my tires. Squirt a bottle in rach wheel and it will auto balance for you. It is supposed to plug small holes but I don't if that works. Maybe it does, which is why I have never had a flat on tubeless wheels and tires.

The VMX wheels have received good reviews. Hope they work out for you.

It was suggested I remove the plastic piece off of the bead breaker. I will try that to see if grips. I am up for the task doing it on my knees. Road/trail side repairs demand it. Thanks for the tips.

That might be hard to find. There is the tubeless cross spoked wheel set on E-Bay, but they are not cheap.

@@advmatt Yeah saw those and yes to much if you ask me. I actually found a set some time ago but at the time didnt want them. Stupid me.......

I haven't. I don't like the big chevron pattern. I am concerned it will not hold off camber stuff. I hate the chevron pattern front tires, they slide out. I may need to give the rear tire a try.

​@@advmatt I have worn two down so far. I have yet to find a rear I like as much. Next two are the AX-41, and the Motoz Adventure. I had a bad experience with the Motoz on the 790... - Frank

@@OneOldManRiding ok, I will give them a try.

@@advmatt Its a tough tire. Not looking forward to pulling it off with the Rabaconda, possibly this weekend! - Frank

It will save a lot of money over time. You need to purchase the 15mm Axle spindle for the 390 wheels. I forgot to mention that.

For the win!

yaww stand on back side use body weight to get it on..keep tire lube wet...it dries quick...i got lucky i guess i didnt need those plastic clamp things

yaww i weigh 157 and i broke my trailmax mission rear Thick wall ... pump it with tool edge right next to rim ...spin tire 5" and repeat both sides.. then back center...mine popped and these tires are beasts

Great tips for breaking the bead with the Rabaconda. I had the magnets right at the edge of rim and still wouldn't budge. I have to change tires again in a few weeks so I will try it again.

Tire may be tubeless , but the rim is not. There is a tube in there.

Yeah, you still have tubes installed. Carry spare tubes if you do any long trips.

@@advmatt Hmmm. Glad to know. Thanks!

Makes me think to switch to alloy then. I’m not going to do heavy off-road riding. Your experience trying to convert tube to tubeless doesn’t encourage me to try that either.

@@RYwoodview I don't think you will have any regrets.

I will remove the plastic from the bead breaker and try again. I usually use extra soapy dish soap and water when changing tires. The Rabaconda bead lube is pretty good too.

Seconded, it slides up the tire due to that having a fixed connection to the bar. If you've ever been fortunate enough to use a commercial changer, you can see that the bead breaker can be aimed to pivot down into the wheel lip rather than aim up on the tire sidewall like this tool. Additionally the commercial machines also don't have plastic there as it grips the tire better to prevent it slipping up towards the tread of the tire.

@@Sprchkn someone here suggested removing the plastic. I will try that next.

@@advmatt Sorry should have been more clear, I was seconding the entirety of the comment I replied too, including that bit. 🙂

I am getting started on a comparison between the 390 Adv and T7. There are some interesting similarities and the differences are not as great as you might think.

@@advmatt cant wait for this

I am surprised no one has busted a linkage with a rock flipping up or smashing into a log crossing. I don't ride crazy stuff and get rocks flipped up and caught underneath the bash plate frequent enough it's a concern. Throttle by wire does feel different than cable. The T7 throttle return spring is heavy and after eight to 10 hours in the saddle my right arm is killing me. I have to rethink how I travel on this bike. I don't think I am capable of riding big miles day after day on this bike like have done on others to get to cool back country locations.

Thanks for the feedback. I really tried to be clear about the tire size I had issues with. I got shredded in the comments from others that didn't take that into consideration. Glad these tires have worked so well for you.
