Travelling by bike in summer, no matter the destination might be, is one of the best ways to ask yourself the holidays. Inside or outside Spain, on scooter, naked, sporting or grand touring bike, with or without a partner, group or solo … Here I will try to give you some tips to make your path easier.
Before leaving on bike
Hopefully you have your bike set, with its revisions to date. If not, check all of the following:
* Change oil before the oil and filter change question
* Brakes, brake pads and levels
* Tires, state and pressure
* String, state, and oil pressure
* Battery, loading and fluid levels
* Screws, tighten and general state of the hardware
The state of the bike should be good, to ruin a trip because the bike leave us lying is a bad investment.
KTM 125 EXC
In the previous test carried out in the Suzuki RM 125E, we said that we did not understand the tendency of many users to buy bikes with a lot of power and displacement. After testing the 125 EXC yet we are more convinced of what we discussed in that test, due to the pleasant surprise that this bike has given us.
Most of us end up being faster and safer driving with a bike whose power we are really able to control and fun factor … or talk. We doubt that there is something more fun and exciting to drive to fund a 125 …
As a curious note, we have been struck by the design of brake lever. Just playing, I notice that is different from previous years, and allows less force to press. It has very good touch, and even past the hour, still using one finger. I compare it with the handle of a previous model and discover the secret: the shape is the same but the height profile of the handle is 3 mm lower from the first bend to the ball.
To check if these 3 mm can really change the behavior of the brake, grabbed a handle and the old router with a grinding machine, the hill on a motorbike, 2008 … the feeling was the same as in our test bike. The curious and have something to entertain this weekend.
