Thanks for watching. The stock muffler gets very hot due to to the catalytic converter, changing the end can sorts this out.

@@stranobikes Yes, very true. Soon I replace it.

Thanks for watching. Look out for my video on riding theTET in the Pyrenees on the GasGas.

Thanks for watching. I'm sure you'll have a great time, it's a lovely island.

Thanks for watching. I agree with your sentiment. You might enjoy watching some of my other videos, the 'Trying to stay alive in Sardinia tour' and 'Why two-up touring is like going on holiday with children'. Ride safe and enjoy life!

Thanks for watching. I bought the filler cap from ebay in the UK. It came from a seller called 'Happy2brother' and the title of the item was 'Motorcycle Fuel Filler Neck Cap Cover For Husqvarna 701 Enduro/Supermoto 2016-24'. Hopefully you can find it :)

Thanks for watching. They're called indicators because they indicate which way you intend to turn. But maybe that's just me :)

Thanks for watching and I appreciate your comment, I hadn't thought of that. I'm just glad it's not leaking.

Thanks for watching. It's too early to tell, yet.

Thanks for watching. A good dealer can make such a difference to the ownership experience. Sadly, good dealers are hard to find.

Thanks for watching. I'm glad it made you smile 😃

Thanks for watching. It's all about the ride.

Thanks for watching. That is some epic rides, well done!

Thanks for watching. That's not good because conceptually the auxiliary tanks are a great idea. I emailed Rade Garage after examining the tank in some detail and this was what I sent them 'I have examined the banjo bolt insert and it seems to me that perhaps the banjo bolt is too long OR the hole drilled in the plastic tank is too small OR the metal insert is not located exactly in the centre of the hole in the plastic tank, if indeed the hole IS the correct size. Whichever is the problem the banjo bolt, when inserted and tightened, is going too far into the tank and pressing onto the plastic of the tank where the hole has been drilled. On my tank it looked to me as if the tank plastic was slightly over the threaded hole and this may/would result in the bond being compromised when fitting and tightening the banjo bolt. It would seem to me that the hole should be bigger than the threaded insert and then the banjo bolt would only engage with the threaded metal insert.' Rade Garage have responded and they are examining tanks to see if my conclusion is valid. I've asked them to keep me in the loop.

@@stranobikes Thanks, have you tested your tank after applying the silicon to the area around the banjo connection? Any further leaks? I also have a spare tank now and wanting to try and seal it.

Thanks for watching. I have, but if you're interested in going onto a reserve list (in case someone drops out) I can send you some information about the trip.

@@stranobikes I’d really appreciate that - yes please place me on a reserve list and look forward to receiving info on the trip - really enjoy your show - Thx

Thanks for watching. You may be right. I've just had the seat re-sculptured locally so I'll be interested to see how my backside copes with it. The chap who's done the work has reworked hundreds of seats and his comment regarding the gel was that it works well if you have 2 inches of foam underneath, the Husky seat, of course, doesn't.

@@stranobikes So I have been doing a great deal of looking and comparing of bikes and plan on getting the 701 for the exact same reasons you got yours; adv capability but light enough for trails and to pick up when dropped. The seat seems to be the biggest problem I would like to solve (and I would like it to be comfortable in the back also for my wife to sit on time to time). One thought I had was if there is a way to have a super plush comfy add-on seat that could essentially be fitted on top of the stock seat for highway cruising (attached with some clips or something) but could be popped off and stashed in the top box if you wanna hit some trails. Like a convertible. The other thought was to lust have a place customize the original seat with new, shaped foam, and leather etc (not cheap obviously).

@@evelcustom9864 Thanks for watching. My wife and I use a GS1200 Rallye Sport for our two-up touring and my wife (who is slim and doesn't have a fat @rse) sits on an air cushion, which she finds pretty comfortable. If you Goggle 'Motorcycle air cushion seat' you'll find something similar. I think two-up on the 701 is.......ambitious! I've just had my 701 seat re-shaped and I'll be showing it on the channel soon, it is to be determined whether it makes any difference.

I have a 2021 Husky 701 enduro. I bought a complete Seat Concepts XL seat for mine from Rocky Mountain ATV. The XL is actually extra wide (not sure why it isn’t called XW), but not any taller than the stock seat. It is much better than stock, but not cushy by any means.

Thanks for watching. The seals I used were OEM and I hope it won't be too regular a job, but thanks for the tip.

Thanks for watching. I was pretty anxious before I started but it is actually a pretty simple process. Just be organised and don't rush.

Thanks for watching. As I mentioned I really like the bike and the fork seals were pretty easy to change. I think good motorcycle dealers are like hens teeth.

Thanks for watching and thanks for the tip on the gloop. I do use a jet wash at times but with upside-down forks the jet is going in the wrong direction to affect the seals.

Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for watching. Yes, the idea of choosing perhaps a couple of bases and then riding out from there is an option I've thought of.

Thanks for watching. Not in the time I owned it. It was a great bike. 👍

Thanks for watching. I do now!

@@stranobikes enjoyed the video, we are off to Romania this year. Albania is great, you’ll enjoy it.

Thanks for watching. It's about the journey, not the destination and making the journey more interesting is part of the joy of motorcycling.

Thanks for watching. Yes, they were the same 17 inch, but sports bike tyres.

Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
