Hey there adventurers, I apologize for the lateness of this video. I wanted to make sure I fully understood my recent overheating issues before I releases a review of the Fuelx lite and DNA filter. Well, after 3 weeks of filming and sleuthing, I can finally say, I have finally figured out the cause of the overheating, and it's a lot simpler than thought. So, in today’s video I will be showing you the process I went through to find the cause of the overheating issue, as well as presenting my long awaited review of the Fuelx Lite and DNA airbox filter. I hope you enjoy!
冒険者の皆さん、今日の動画は遅くなって申し訳ありません。Fuelx liteとDNAフィルターのレビューを公開する前に、最近のオーバーヒート問題を完全に理解しておきたかったんだ。そして3週間撮影と調査を続けた結果、ついにオーバーヒートの原因がわかるようになった！なので、本日のビデオでは、オーバーヒートの原因を突き止めるまでの過程と、待ちに待ったFuelx LiteとDNAエアボックスフィルターのレビューをお届けします。どうぞお楽しみに！

A good radiator guard will have more mud buildup. You are installing the aftermarket rad guard to stop debris from damaging the radiator. As a rule, they have more area blocked. Regular cleaning is required. - Frank

I'm curious, what are your impressions of the fuelx, Frank? I find it hard to believe a nice guy like you would be kicked off. I remember a video of you asking your KZfaq viewers if it was okay to ask for liking and subscribing 🤣. You’ve got to be one of the chillest KZfaqrs out there, and definitely a mainstay within the 390 community 👍.

Good morning, Sir, if I changed DNA’s filter&filter cover, I need to change fuelX kit also? Why? Thank you Sir.

@advinjapan Жыл бұрын

@@user-gt9vv8rh5v Installing an aftermarket airbox lid filter affects the air-to-fuel ratio. A fuel controller, like the fuelx, is necessary to adjust the fuel injection to ensure the proper mixture of air and fuel for optimal combustion. アフターマーケットのエアボックスリッドフィルターを取り付けると、空燃比に影響します。fuelxのような燃料コントローラーは、最適な燃焼のために空気と燃料の適切な混合比を確保するために燃料噴射を調整するために必要です。

Great update. The FuelX lite is my only engine mod, and it made the low speed much better for me, but i only have done road and gravel and a dirt road. Never gotten over 50+ mpg, but just hit my 600 mile service light. No riding for the rest of this year. Knee replacement this morning

Hey, Nice video. I know you're busy, so I'll keep this brief. I'm interested in the status of the FuelX Lite and DNA filters. Given a choice between the two, what do you recommend to have first if one cannot go for both simultaneously? Could you suggest the following: FuelX Lite or a regular air filter from BMC or K&N?

@advinjapan 9 күн бұрын

Hey, thanks. Either of those will probably work. I personally like DNA filters. As long as you stick with an in box filter, you won’t need the fuelx lite. That said, I highly recommend the fuelx lite as it will greatly improve the low end performance of the bike.

I have both the air box lid and FuelX Lite as well. I do all road driving because where I live in Ohio, I can't find any trails yet. I mainly like the posture of an adv bike, that's my main reason for buying one. I did find a K&N style OEM filter to compliment the DNA lid. Hopefully it performs as good as a K&N. I live in an area that is pretty clean, so regular cleaning and oiling the filters should protect my engine just fine. Still waiting on the filter. For less than half price of the K&N, I have to wait for delivery from China. I too love the combo of the DNA lid and FuelX Lite. I also bought a small cheap muffler that is basically just a straight pipe without the baffle. All three parts have awakened the power and sound of this bike . I like the louder sound. It's not obnoxious like a Harley but it makes you bike sound a bit meaner and not like a glorious moped 😂. At 7k rpm it still fairly quiet as long as you don't crack the throttle open.

Dude Japan is so beautiful. Your filming and everything is perfect too!! Just a quick question. Does your headlight assembly wanna rattle itself to death with that gps holder and phone. I have the same holder and either I'll quit or my headlight assembly will. quit.

@advinjapan Жыл бұрын

Thanks DHMH! I’m really enjoying this whole adventure, including the filming. I’m not having any particular issues. Have you checked to make sure all the bolts are securely tightened? I know the two bolts on each side of the holder can be a hassle to get in there properly. Sorry I’m not much more help than that. In any case, the bike is very loud to begin with, rattles all over the place, so there is that.
