congrats on the new Himalayan! You're going to love it. I will up in Silverton in July on my bike and am excited to explore some of the Alpine Loop this year.

Awesome! That's a great deal on the bike and I'm sure you're going to really enjoy it. I've had a blast on my himmie.

That's funny last week I literally did the same thing. Found to used Himmy with about 3000 miles on it, $4500. I saved myself about $3000 by letting somebody else break it in for me.

@@LordHolley 🤙nICE !

No problem!

The headlight shroud vibration is a well documented issue.

Check if the wireless charger is legal to use? Somewhere in YT I saw it was illegal

Glad to hear! I was seriously thinking I was going to need to fabricate something...so was happy to see this worked out perfectly. I have the ADVRider forums to thank for the tip!

just bought them from tooltube website. www.thetooltube.com/ToolTube.html

I just attached the entire controller w/phone to the gas tank via velcro tabs. So I have to look down to see. I suppose with a longer cable I could keep the phone up on the handlebars....but I typically never fly the drone for more than a few minutes at a time for a specific shot. I've had a quite a few issues controlling the little gen 1 mini. I suppose that's what I get for buying a used on on craigslist for $200. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Replace the two relays under your seat and get your throttle position sensor adjusted at the dealer. Since I did these two things, I've had zero stalls.

I don't think it will damage. I will probably leave some sticky residue that can come off easily with WD40

Yours is the fourth instance of this happening that I've heard of and I'm not paying attention...I suspect this is a common problem and these bolts security should be regularly checked.

@@L--Z about being this issue common yet... I might disagree but yeah the bolt situation regular checkup has become my important ritual before getting on bike😂.....

Last year we had bad snow/ice until mid-february. Right now the roads are actually fine and temps aren't too bad, so I will probably do some riding very soon. If I want to go someplace warmer, Sedona is the easiest. It's only about 40 minutes away and is always 10-15 degrees warmer.

The tank pads were purchased separately. I think I put the links in for where I got them in Part 1 of my Hacks video. I think I got them on amazon

HEY- THANKS FOR THE QUICK REPLY- I JUST PUT IN AN ORDER FOR TWO SIDE PADS FROM AMAZON A FEW MINUTES AGO!! WHAT IS THE NEW IRIDIUM PLUG NUMBER, PLEASE- JOHN

It might work better with non ethanol fuel?

Non-ethanol fuel has no need for stabilizers. Ethanol attracts water and causes rust which is why "stabilizers" became a thing

Yeah...There is a ethanol-free gas station in Flagstaff, but it's about 20 miles away. I do try to fill up there when I can though (It's also REALLY expensive here).

I used the regular, but I suspect the mega would also fit just fine. It's the same length right?

@@On2Feet Same length, just wider diameter.

Yeah...I try to use blue locktite on any bolt/screw that I can when it's metal/metal. For the well nuts on the windshield and other plastic or rubber connections, I usually don't.

ah man...well that's definitely a bummer. I haven't been brave enough to put my good phone on the quad lock yet. I am probably going to buy a new phone soon, so will probably downgrade my current phone to be my new travel phone. Then...even if the image stabilization does bonk out, it's not a huge deal.

@@On2Feet yea I think that's my plan as well. I'm getting a new phone soon and the iphone 7 stays on the quadlock ahaha

@@On2Feet I rode with Quad-Lock Vibration Dampner for about 1000km, but conditions differed. I was using Pixel, not iPhone. I had it mounted (the base mount) right next to where the handlebar is mounted to the steering column (where it is bolted to the steering column). The dampener-mounted phone shook madly over rough patches of road, but the OIS of my mobile was still fine. Due to the terrain and conditions, I mostly stuck to low speed (4-4.5k rpm). I will go for longer 2000 - 3000km rides after the summer. Will keep you updated if you are interested. Please note that different devices may need different vibration frequencies or forces to show the same type of damage, so Pixel and iPhones may not be equivalent comparisons.
