So far I have the full OUtback Motortek crash bar/Skid plate combo, Altrider headlight, voltage regulator, and clutch guard, Barkbusters, Doubletake mirrors, Camel high fender, and Black Dog pegs, and Giant Loop Fandango tank bag installed. I have the Ohlins Cartridges and rear sock on order at Konflict. Only have about 40 miles on it so far, snow is just starting to melt here. Can’t wait for the trails to open up here in the UP of Michigan and Northern Wisconsin!

That is one Wikkud setup, really enjoy your content man, I have only just recently bought a pre owned but solid AT and my list of gear to get for my 2016 AT is growing significantly longer after discovering your channel..... and thats great, its one of the greatest pleasures is building something strong that you can use and enjoy fiercly!! I am very thankful to you re shock and fork intel, as I had a suspension 'expert' nearly convince me to go Nitron (tagging their 'lifetime warranty' clause which I must admit was a good hook) over Ohlins, but lets face it, I only listen to you when it comes to all things Africa!! So Its the Ohlins stx46 Adventure rear shock for the WIN!! (I assume you are running the same) I cant wait to fit it as my stock shock rear SAG is at 85mm dialed right the way out hard with only 90kg (rider plus gear load)....... brutal, I would imagine my springs shot and my oils gone to dishwater.... can you please comment on any specific benefits of the Ohlins Rear shock (when compared to stock or Nitrons?) Thanks again, I appreciate your valuable intel mate..... oh yeah, how many miles have you put on your machine?

@backcountryadvmoto 4 жыл бұрын

The Ohlins rear is hands down a better shock. Its more reactive and doesnt overhear offroad like the Nitron. Just make sure that the Ohlins is tuned to you and not an off the shelf model if you want to make sure you get all you can out of it.

Another awesome video. I haven't had any issue with my 2017 AT as well except I just blew a rear wheel bearing and blew both front fork seals last fall....but that is to be expected with 32k+ miles and me not going east on this amazing bike

Thanks for sharing, I went though fork seals on my original forks at 5k miles, but I didnt exactly go easy on them lol. Havent had any issues with bearings yet, but I have about 12k on the wheels so I may be replacing them by the end of summer just as a preventative measure so they dont fail me on a trip.

Thanks for this video (and all the many others). These have been super useful in making the mods on my AT. A couple of questions if you don't mind: I believe you said in another video that you had a Li battery. Which one did you use and how does it perform? How easy was it to make it work given the weird terminal configuration on the OEM battery? Second, and more interestingly, could you do a video on the power-commander work you did? How much HP did you gain and how did you set-up the two mode switch? Thanks and keep the videos coming!

I use the Antigravity Restart battery, and it performs VERY well. I had the Shorai, and went through two of them in two years. Hatted it and it always seemed like it was under powered. The Antigravity has 90 more CCA so it starts very quickly now, and I had no issues with the terminal set up. As far as the Power Commander goes, I installed the power commander 5, and used the autotune too and power commander software to tune the bike. I set it up for a offroad raw power tune and a more mellow touring tune for the highway. It did pretty well, but then last summer I took the bike to my local Dyno shop and WOW! They were able to tweek my tunes with the power commander and im now running 107HP. The bike is nice and responsive and the power delivery is awesome. Its very usable power. I was told they could have easily gotten more out of it, but I was concerned it would affect the longevity of the motor. I am very happy with it. The Rekluse Torque drive clutch, and exhaust would be something to consider as well to allow the motor to breath better and put the power to the ground with clutch. The clutch has 6 additional plates making it very strong. Hope that helps.

Backcountry Adventure Motorsports wow. Thanks for the detailed reply. Really appreciate it. Timely too... i was about to pull the trigger on a Shorai battery so appreciate the advice on the antigravity. With respect to the HP gain from the upgraded exhaust + power commander + dyno tuning, do you have a sense of roughly how much each component added to the overall HP boost? You picked up 10% HP from the mods. How much of that could you have gotten from changing the pipe alone? Or just the power commander? Trying to figure out the best bang for the buck. Thanks again!
