I had a Moto Guzzi 850 T3 California in the early eighties. It had the big standard wind screen without fairing and without spoilers. It worked very well. Nice silent long trips across Europe without earplugs!

As far as I understood from your observations the wind noise increased when you mounted the wind screen. That means that the airflow is not nice and linear around your helmet anymore but turbulent. At higher speeds a turbulent airflow can make your helmet vibrate. Some will prefer the naked bike keeping their helmet in a clean airflow. New riders should find their advice elsewhere.

Huh....As millions of other riders I use kerosene for cleaning. Quick and thorough. Then lube with BMW;s Motorand spray lube to seep into all the chain parts including the o rings. Light and effective it remains on the links for a long period. One can lasts or about 25 or 30 lubes. Best on market.

Should I stop using scottoiler?

I agree.

No the oil is too heavy gets thrown all over the tyre& rim i live using crc its light sticks& is designed to penetrate& lube.

Riding aids are not to combat power it there for rider safety so all bike should be afforded this tech. Yamaha is good at moulding plastic into a good looking bike

I owned a Trident for a while and now own a Livewire One. I'm looking for a screen that aesthetic and above all effective at motorway speeds. I like the look of your screen and will see if I can fit it on my bike. cheers

adv touring is great; with good seating; but handling in the city, heavy traffic goes to the 660 sport.

Cool Now, if I could only get my hands on some acrylic and a body man and fabricator 😠

where do you see the time???

Better or not, i go for Triumph..

Hey brotha aside from the good content I like your personal style! Sub’d!

you should show the little fishing town of Fuseta next to Olhao. I m sure you know it :)

Thanks you. I won’t be buying them aerosol cans anymore !!!

the 660 has more power and handling for hills, twisties. tracer hp, size is difficult ?

Just used this video for my chain, very helpful 👍

How can I get the template please??

The racket from that bike broke my phone...Jeez Louise

I use honda gear oil for my chain. Been using it for years. Always had great results!!

Adoro os videos, estão a saudar-me na escolha de mota. E também gostei muito das botas, pode partilhar a marca e modelo? 🙏

I have the same 2003 model with 120.000 km. I don't know why almost all users praise this engine because it's not that great. Clutch basket problems, TP sensor, stator and magnet problems. Thank goodness mine had all this fixed before I bought it. It's true that I did 40.000 km with it in 3 years and I didn't have any problems, but still. In particular, problems with the basket and the clutch have been lingering at Suzuki since 1997 in the SV, TL, DL 1000 models, until 2020.

Did you ever have the Clutch basket and/or the stator magnet issues?

Stumble upon to your channel when searching any Tracer 7 reference for my research of future R25 mod into sport touring one, good comparation too with the latest Tracer 9 comparison. But I found the regularity of publishing the video on this channel are lacking, so reserved for subscribe button for now.

"Poo-iegh" 😂😂

Just goes to show expensive motorcycles are necessarily better!

Qual é o óleo adequado para lubrificar a corrente com o-rings?

That must been amazing :) doing it soon also

Great review, thanks for this. I’ve watched it a few times now (as well as a bunch of your other reviews). I’m trying to pick my next bike for long distance (100klm each way) commuting, daily rider and occasional touring/camping. Currently riding a Triumph Tiger Sport 1050, which is awesome on open windy roads, but bit of a beast for slow speed manoeuvring. I used to have a 660z Tenere, which I loved and regretted selling, but wasn’t right for the long commutes. The size/power did suit me fine for general use though. The tracer 7 is very much at the forefront as a replacement for me, for much the same reasons as you’ve pointed out. Other options seem to be NC750x (not sold in Australia anymore 😢), V-Strom 650XT, V-Strom 800 RX (jump up in price but more extras including ride by wire, so cruise control possible) and Transalp 750 (tubed tyres 👎) So it s looking like it’s neck and neck between the Trancer 7 and the 650XT for me, which leads to my question: Do you have any opinions regarding the new V-Strom 650XT considering my proposed uses, and in particular how it would compare with the Tracer in this regard?

watching this in 2024 and am really shocked after all these years suzuki still hasnt fixed the issue on the new 3rd gen. the buffeting is so bad its giving me a headache every time!

I been honest I see a very good result. I get a solid 25 Mbps whereas in my room with the WiFi, I can get anywhere from 2 to 20 Mbps. So to have a solid is much better for me.

Didnt know your channel, congratulations. Very good review. Just subscribed.

Pressure washes can damage the orings in the chain links cant they?

I was a tracer 900 owner between 2015-2019. I agree with your comments. it has sports motorbike performance and suspensions, but it was tiring me in the city and therefore I sold it, I regretted selling it a year later and now I am thinking of buying it again. I am not a traveller, I usually use it on asphalt roads in the city, but our roads may be the worst roads in the world, all roads are full of bumps and potholes. As someone who is over 40 years old and has a herniated disc, it is important for me that the suspensions and saddle are soft. I looked at the GS1200, but it is too expensive and too big for urban use with traffic. You do not recommend the Tracer 9 for a few reasons that I find justified. I am looking for a motorcycle with a soft saddle and suspension, with bags large enough to put 2 helmets and a motor jacket inside. sometimes I can reach speeds of 250 km on intercity roads, in this case I don't want to be beaten by the wind. for tracer 9 that was very easy to go speed, no vibration but I was being beaten by the wind. I have travelled long distances with Hayabusa and frankly I liked it very much. but the sitting position is no longer very suitable for me. my knee locks after a few hours of riding. so what is your recommendation?

VOX

What an incredibly sad story, this happened 30minutes from where I live, I even know some of the officers in the video. May her young soul rest peacefully.

The ultimate way to eliminate buffeting on any motorcycle is to get rid of the windshield. A short windscreen keeping wind away from the chest but leaving the head in clear air is absolutely the best solution. Unless you have to commute in all weather conditions all year long. Additional benefit is the cooling effect. BTW all decent helmets are developed aerodynamicly with the assumption that no weird windshield disturbs the windblow.

You should review pans not motorbikes 😂 

A couple of points. Firstly oil tends to fling, that's why you had to clean your wheel. Secondly, you don't just lube the rollers of the chain. You should also lube the o rings so the rubber does not dry out.

hey thats a nice video! wondering what handlebar are you using? and what mods do you have on it? seems like you got some aftermarket bar clamp or risers? I got the same bike and i find the stock bars a bit too narrow

This was like watching a sailing video. Much appreciated.

What happened to this series and channel... seems to have just come to a sudden halt? Seemed like such a good series of videos, I was really looking forward to your video on the Multistrada.

Thanks for the video - I found it on my search for the pictograms shown when there are mistakes as my Trident just shut down yesterday in a steep curve what really wasn't too nice. Too bad that the manual doesn't provide the necessary information... maybe anybody has a hint? I'll call my Triumph dealer and post it here if any interesting info comes back

I got in 2024 new from triumph dealership tiger 660 and when i arrive to the garage i check the chain. Because some noise was and if you have some experience 2 seasons u can feel it . they chain was not tied ( lucky i have bike lift ) and i did it by my self .before ride always check your motorbike . on aprilia strada after service they change front break disc but didnt use they right screw , after 30km front break disc started make noise the all 5x screws on they lock tait was open after good Break . so its you responsibility and your life and you bike (yes we are not mechanic and pro ) but we can do same check (thanks youtube )

** looks at his super pitted chain that's not been adjusted in over a year ** Well i guess it's time to suit up

too much blab. Boring. I do not need to know about your trivial personal life. Lucky I stopped you wasting my time

Ok, yesterday I was by triumph because I’m interested to buy the Tiger 660 sport and I thought that display it is actually useless but now I change my mind. Thanks for the explanation 👌🏻

Allways wear ear plugs, i ride a naked and no screen but with howard ear plugs and dont suffer wind noise, also some helmets are more prone than others for wind noise, for me i foung aria helment the worst and cayburg full face the best with shark a close scond, all ways make sure a good fit with minimal protusions like camras and vents

@John_Neves : Nice bike. But you havent mentioned the single best modification that you can do on a DL1000 with some mileage: get a modified clutch basket. It just improves the engine character sooo much. Way less vibrations. Its good bye "clutch chudder" for ever. Also; bad clutch chudder is not good for your engines gears and bearings.

Sincerely, TS660 is a sport bike, not comparable with tracer 7.
