Biking through the Connemara Mountains in Ireland

Whilst many motorcyclists flock to the Wild Atlantic Way every year, very few are aware of the secret hidden mountain pass just around the corner. Hidden away in the heart of the Connemara Mountains is a motorcyclist's dream come true. This little-known mountain pass provides stunning views and hairpin bends as it snakes its way through the landscape. Luckily for me, with the help of locals, I was able to hunt down one of Ireland's best-kept biking secrets. If you're looking for an adventure, this is it!

I love that you still you found the happiness in riding despite all the bad luck. It's obvious your trail was a bit difficult because your bike is built for city ride or tarmac. Also, your mirrors are kinda huge just saying, it upset the looks. 🙃 In case you need to buy a new one. You need to wait for the new GasGas which will have 400cc Dakar Rally version production bike by 2024.👌Looking forward for the continuation. 😁

Try using your kickstand to turn around in tight places. Get off the bike, put the kickstand down (make sure it's on a hard surface), lean the bike's weight on the kickstand, brace your hip against the bike, hold the bike by the handlebar and the frame (near the seat), then rotate the bike toward the desired direction. Voila! Happy trails, Saffy. 👍❤
@SaffySprocket
@SaffySprocket 2 жыл бұрын
I can't use the kickstand unfortunately, I had the bike lowered but the stand is still stock, it already doesn't lean over so I can't distribute the weight in order to rotate it, plus in any event, there's no chance I can rotate a fully loaded bike, the amount it weighs, I'd 200% squish myself

Awesome video as always - I think your throttle bodies are a little out of sync though. It won't harm the bike and they do drift over time, but it's what's causing the reluctance to start (that you solved approx 3min 10secs by adding throttle). Dead easy job, takes less than 10mins - mention it to whoever is changing the sprokets & chain when you get that done. That rumbling at the end... your back sproket looks ok (I rewound & paused a few times to see the teeth), front should be OK but could be rounded early due to the loose chain. I noticed the engine/FI light was on as you got off the bike, and I didn't see you hit the kill switch... so it could be electrical (and if so, it's likely a ground circuit that tripped the FI warning). Of course, I could just be catastrophising too, and this is just your way of making me watch the next video!

@@SaffySprocket I did think electrical a few mins into the video. The faired version has a 9pin connector under the screen for the headlight (I don't remember if the naked does), that has a tendency to melt if you pull too much current and cause the FI warning to trigger intermittently. Equally there's a few sore points on the loom besides the engine that can rub, and the loom is quite easy to remove completely on the naked to inspect. All pretty easy work, but not things you probably want to do in Ireland, on the secret pass!! Good luck fixing whatever it was, looking forward to the next vid

Let's hope your suspected issue is something less dramatic than usual, can I last the week without knowing. Standard road bike rear shocks aren't built to take long distances at any great speed off road. They don't have good enough cooling so the oil will cook because of the rapid operation over the bumps. Not saying that was your problem but something to consider going forward. Buy a £1000+ shock with remote oil res and oil / gas separation or ride slower and careful to avoid some of the bumps. Well that's not going to happen is it.

I personally stay on your CBT until you can do direct access - otherwise, you end up paying the fee twice. Direct access is like £800 these days. The a2 test is exactly the same as direct access. If you do A2, you'll either end up paying £1600 in the long run, or you'll end up just not bothering and having an a2 licence for the rest of your life

That is a lot of luggage for a small trip to Irland, how many pair of shoes did you take with you ? Btw: it look like you got a few stiff chain linkes, a new set of Sprockets and a new chain might be in place, remember, it is a good idea to use lube every 500 miles and clean it every 1000 miles or so, more if you ride a lot of off road or in the rain, a cheap set with out maintainance might last you less then 5000 miles, a quality set with maintainance might last you more then 20,000 miles.

Saffy you will find plenty of these rounds in Ireland. The back roads are fantastic to Explore. Leitrim has many of these such back roads. You are welcome to take a look at my channel and see for yourself. You may already be further up the coast.
