Re: Kwacky's ongoing Africa Twin Adventure Sport review
Having just bought one, and going through a few Facebook groups, I have noticed that the majority of AT riders are, eh....vastly more experienced in life than I am!!!

His son doesn’t look very impressed...he’s probably saying something like ‘you’re too young for that style of bike Dad’

That’s pretty typical Aussie off-roading, bloody dust, rocks and gumtrees. I’ve done plenty of trailriding and mtb here in Aussie but the terrain is much better back home.Kwacky wrote:Stolen from the PB Forum

I like how he rides it like he stole it. He’d be buggered after a day on that big beast.

Re: Kwacky's ongoing Africa Twin Adventure Sport review
I've booked the bike in for an inspection this Saturday afternoon so they can have a look at the wheels. It has to be a reaction to something as it's gotten worse despite me not having used it for ages.

Re: Kwacky's ongoing Africa Twin Adventure Sport review
Sutton have filed a warranty request. They'll call me when Honda reply. They reckon it'll take about 90 minutes to swap the wheels.

Re: Kwacky's ongoing Africa Twin Adventure Sport review
1hr and 30 mins.... Are they literally giving new rims only and rebuilding the wheels?Kwacky wrote:Sutton have filed a warranty request. They'll call me when Honda reply. They reckon it'll take about 90 minutes to swap the wheels.
At least is warranty covered

Re: Kwacky's ongoing Africa Twin Adventure Sport review
wheels off, tyres off, tubes out, discs off, bearings out, sprocket off, reverse process.
So yes, Honda just send new rims. Did you think I was getting new tyres, sprocket and brakes as well?
