Thanks for the detailed explanations. The more maintenance tutorials for these awesome bikes, the better.

Cracking weekend from Franco, let’s hope the momentum keeps going 👊

Surprised you haven't got some guards on those coolers Dave.

Dave don't know if you noticed but at 18mins 39 secs in the video you can see air box screw is not fully tight.

Maybe next year you can get those radiators vapor blasted.

This is gold.

Great stuff, Wavey. Just a superb channel. Really enjoying the variety of workshop & racing stuff. Go Franko!! Much appreciated. 👍

Good stuff! Good tip about the chain tensioner. Hate messing with them.

Top entertainment Dave your KZfaq videos are a special good to have a quick chat with you at tt best of luck for the rest of the season 👍👍

Great vid but I doubt I'll be doing my valve clearances with my selection of hammers .

i do like a good tinker 👍

Well explained & executed Dave! A champion of motorcycle maintenance & Zen. I think I will call you Motul Man! Cheers

Not too bad as V4s go, good tutorial Dave 👍🏻

I wish i was mechanically gifted .

Class Davey good feeing once it’s all done and done correctly everything checked ✅ and thorough nice job

Evening Dave…..a little less hectic video for once…..that’ll all change in a week or so….lol 👍😳😉👌🇮🇲

Brilliant vids from a guy who obviously know his stuff 😊

Great video Davide, ta for the Tshirt, and good luck to you lads at Snett! PS. "MOTULMAN!!" PMSL!

I swapped my brakes master on same tuono model as this for a Brembo corsa corta 19 rcs and the difference is massive also motul RBF600 brake fluid too it just needs a radial brake line adapter from HEL to be able to use the original lines but as i say the brakes actually now work as they should and are consistent which standard are pretty poor

excellent, thank you. :)

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Your happy running motul 300v for a year in the bike ? I always thought (wrongly it would appear) that 300v was the racy stuff the very best if your raging the absolute crap out of a tuned engine at high temperature but the quid pro quo was you had to change more often? I use motul 7100 and do circa 10-15 trackdays + road riding a year (BWMS1000r) always thought 7100 was a better option for me. Currently change every six ish track days but let it sit all winter. Would be very interesting to hear your thouyghts on oil maybe another vlog 🙂 Interested to see if you've ever tested the used oil. PS ..love the channel 🙂

Good stuff as I have just acquired one of these today and their a bit of an unknown to me, like the oil drain plug & my bike has no oil level window 😢 but has a dipstick that took me a little while to notice😅 i want to check air filter and looks a bit of a pain, I'm surprised you didn't use k&n air filter oil just to keep it looking pink 😅 obsessive?

👏👏🙌

Considering you run the bike on track, im surprised you run a coolant instead of straight water, but then saying that, if it does live on the road too and used in all weathers, coolant wouldnt hurt

Looks easier than doing a Desmo shims

Loving the variety of vids recently. Also, will you have any merch available at Snetterton?

Nice how to video. At this rate even I may feel confident enough to tackle; ooo, I dunnow, maybe adjust my chain!!! 😆 Notice you running Michelin Road 6 tyres. I was told by my friendly tyre fitter guy that that is what I am getting when I tried to buy another brand. He said, "yur no gettin' them as they are crap. Here have these Michelin's. That's the tyre fur yoo!!" Must say I think he is probably right. Any thoughts? I do like an expert that tells you when you are wrong.🤔

I’d love a Tuono but everyone tells me I’m in for world of pain reliability wise. What are your thoughts Dave?

Hi Dave what do you think is a good interval for changing paper air filters? My modern Yamaha owners manual have them lasting 24000 miles which I think is too much. They also only change oil filter every other service (so 12000 miles) which again, I think is too much. It does beg the question, why is main dealer servicing so expensive when it is (usually) just an oil change and a few checks? I change both every year when I service bikes myself. I only use cheapo Hiflo ones but I would rather have a fresh cheapy in the bike for 6000 miles max than a genuine OEM left in for too long. Who is right and who is wrong?

The tyres look like Michelin road 6's how do you find those on your track days? Presumably wet grip is pretty good, but dry?

It puzzles me that people are so afraid of putting mileage and riding their bikes in the rain. So many sellers in the marketplace make it a point to brag about their low mileage and bike never seeing the rain. What's the point of buying a bike then?
