It's very different here in the Philippines we have both disc breaks on front and rear wheel.

9:30, I honestly wish more companies produce older cars, it's more perfected, reliable, and affordable that way plus more parts available for servicing.

I just bought one from around 1915. Its a great machine! Any idea where to buy a new ribbon?

Sorry as I have to disagree with you for life of fuel injection system dependability. I bought my 2022 Honda ADV 150 new and with about 4,000 miles my Fuel Pump died. Luckily my extended Warranty took care of the ridiculous $1,100 bill.👍 I checked on U-Tube and I’m one of many having same problem occurring.🤔

Need replacement plastic gears to fix the tape player on my AW-1. Where can I find ?

I saw one this morning when I went to flea market his selling it for $75 bucks but I didn’t buy it I mean it’s nice but I’m a Sansui And Marantz fan, I look it up in eBay the price around $300 something to $400 something Dallars crazy price but this Sansui 9090 db in eBay about $2000 something dollars ridiculous price that Sansui 9090 db no way I’m paying that price for a stereo too much money

I'm thinking you must live in a very very hot climate and your letting the bike idle very long to cause these failures. Here in Massachusetts there have been no complaints about the waterpumps.....

I really enjoyed your tour. I am taking delivery tomorrow of a 2025. I really wanted the Pearl blue color, but it seems that there are still supply chain issues looming from covid and they can be hard to find locally. I also paid about $5600 delivered to my house. A good chunk of that is the $600 destination fee.

Regular SOS pads and water hand rubbing outside on a support cleans and shines really well and yes you need to wash up afterwards. Use a hose to clean up frames. You can even use your electric brush followed by the SOS . Question- are the seals between the glass and the aluminum intact? I have the old kind that glued the glass in with a glazing strip facing out. They leaked like mad. Now looking at reseating the glass with glazing tape or adhesive. Especially for the bathroom.

How many miles? How many months have you had it

Mirrors are so bad they intentionally raised the drivers side. I use bar ends

The motor sounds like it’s about to burn out.

I always wanted 17" intel mac but life & work insisted on bigger toys & high paced modern life, finally on retirement I bought an iMac 17" intel for £10 to dedicate as a home for my Hi Fi files, running a tiny amp from the audio output to two speakers. It's really a no brainer. Having spent hundreds wading through the hi fi world then it all went digital. The final iMac setup result are better than buying into expensive specialist audio. Because I'm not bothered about the speed of internet, a new SSD with Snow Leopard works wonders. Thanks

Hope you try a few dirt / gravel roads for some mild, fun exploring off the tarmac. Also on 45 mph roads around town/county does it have enough passing power or is it strictly a slow lane cruiser ?

Thanks for the updates. I was really looking forward to picking up this bike when I head back to the US - I’ve even been putting aside my pennies to save up for it. I’m not sure I would get it anymore. They do have a 2025 model out, and I wonder if they resolved this issue. I look forward to some more updates from you down the road to see if your opinion of the bike has changed or if you’ve sold it. You definitely didn’t let me down with the issues you’ve been having - the only way you would let me down is by being falsely positive about it.

Oh no, really unreliable. I would sell it too. Don't want to be stranded far from home. Shame because the bike looks great

maybe you can find a after market pump that is better

I know exactly how you feel. Some years ago I bought an expensive turntable and had no end of problems and sold it for a huge loss within a month as I was so fed up by that point. Same thing happened to me, went back to the dealer and they were like ' is that you on the Internet forum?"

Bass reflux

I tried to buy one of these in Nova Scotia. You wouldn't believe the price they where asking. Ended up with a cub cadet.

Thank for doing this rebuild. Great information and I learned a lot! My Father in law gifted me his parents I believe. It’s AB1, which is awesome to see something over 100 years old. Like yours mine is missing one of the strut screws as well. In your video you mentioned you had 2 left over and are looking to sell them. Any chance you still have 1 left even after 2 years?

I got one like that in your video, suzuki engine, but i have difficult to find a new carburator mikuni. My carburator is full of oxide due water. Thanks

excellent video

Hello, enjoyed your videos. I have a similar record player to this. Motorola model 8H27W-1, looks like was made 8/22/1959. My problem is with the volume control, when you turn the knob sound is low or not coming out of front speakers. It was but then would fade in and out and then if wiggle knob it would get lounder. Now even wiggling does not do anything. I took bottom cover off of player off so can see inside, I can see where volume knob is coming through to make connection, but don't know much more of what to look for or do, any ideas? I don't see anywhere here to add a photo that would help. EDIT: I got it working!!! Your video was so helpful to take the turntable out and I think just the wire that plugs into the speaker port was it. When I put it back together and played a record I only have it on volume 2 and it is great! There are some other issues similar to yours with the record finding the right spot to sit at, but I am just going to leave that alone and enjoy listening. Thanks, will keep watching for any further Motorola videos.

I drove my wife's adv160 didn't find it squirrelly at 60 to 70 mph seems find watch scooter cannonball they drive 3400 to 3800 miles across country the adv does very well.

Ironically, I saw a JB Weld ad on this video. But if Honda's coolant is like VW's pink G12 coolant, then anything that leaks out will dry to a hard crust which helps to seal off a minor leak. So try leaving the seepage alone rather than wiping it off.

Ok, I feel oblicated to share something. I'm a long time viewer and I didn't really leave much comments (changed name). I was still an atheist only 2 years ago, so I know you don't wanna hear this... 28:42 25:33 28:19 32:23 35:52 This is God knocking on your door. Whether you like it or not. As was your scooter accident. (God is not to be mocked, Galatians 6:7) In your previous videos/livestreams you have talked about how people act like crap nowadays, and I agree (2 Timothy 3:1-4, Romans 1:29-31). All these problems you're having with the new things you buy is God trying to make you understand that this world is going downhill fast and these objects are not gonna make you happy (1 John 2:15-17). You've talked about how everything is going to crap nowadays and it's true. People and big companies trying to control everything + greed and other things are driving this. And all these problems you're having with the old things you're trying to preserve is God trying to make you understand that everything in this world decays away (Matthew 6:19) and worldly possessions don't matter in the end. I was (somewhat still am) into 90's cars and retro + modern computing also. 36:24 Seat belts aren't going to keep you safe where the world is going, Jesus is. (John 11:25-26) Humble yourself, ask God to show Himself to you and start reading the Bible while it's still easy (John is a good starting point). If you go to a church, pick a church that actually reads and believes the bible, because there are a lot of false churches.

Guess who's back, back again, coolant's back. Trade it in.

Look at a Yamaha Xmax 300 Scooter, should be able to do it all on tarmac, city & hyw.

Is this a common issue with these?

COOL RADIO & I LIKE THE MUSIC YOU ARE PLAYING I TYPE IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE OF MY BAD EYESIGHT NOT YELLING & INUST SUBSCRIBE TO YOUR CHANNEL & HIT THE BELL 🛎️

Oof!

Anybody know what size lightbulb these things take I can’t seem to figure it out 😢

OK. A little bit larger by about 100cc. That would be better overall if the weight increase wasn’t too much as to upset a good power to wt ratio. Really looking forward to more info on the Adv160 going forward into future. Hopefully you’ll keep this scooter as NO ONE else online are reporting on it. My interest is basic transport on 35 - 55 mph local roads & fun mild easy off road exploring. All the best !!!

I'm very torn. I don't print often, but need to once in a while. I had an ink jet, always dried up. Threw it away and decided I would just print at Walgreens. The last few times I tried that, their printer was out of service. So, I'm tying to convince myself to buy a laser printer. The MF654CDW is on sale at BestBuy for $299 right now. Can't decide...

Like most modern stuff, it's a bit soulless. They have to deal with expectations of low fuel consumption and very tight emissions standards. The old engines had more play in them by design. The old Africa Twins where V-twin 650 and 750, the new ones 1000 and 1100 are parallel twins. As you, I want to find saved in a dry garage 650 Africa Twin on low kilometers. The bad thing is that we are not the only ones. There are bunch of people with money aside just for finds like this and find like that are flaying fast. The one thing I don't like in the Helix and the Elite series is the rear brake foot pedal. I'm too use to modern configuration with left lever for rear brake.

You can still buy the baulbs today, they're like $15 though.

I've got a 2019 Africa Twin and a 2024 ADV160. No coolant leaks with either.

If something belonged to your dad, or another family member, you have to get it up and running.

Is Yorx still around?

I noticed your license plate says ne Hampshire we are Canadian so we will take your comments and suggestions. Thanks for the video 😊

Correction: Yamaha Xmax has a 300cc motor, NOT a 400cc motor, my bad. But still closer to your old Helix, performance wise to be “lovable.”

If I understand you correctly, the 160 is a much smaller motor than your old Helix which I believe was a 350cc motor. Maybe check out the Yamaha Xmax scooter which I think has a 400cc motor. It doesn’t have the larger suspension travel and the higher ground clearance of the Adv 160 but it has much more powerful road performance like your old Helix. You might “love” that size scooter. Still hope to see more info- data on the Adv160 in future postings. Great info so far !

Got my adv 160 brand new in March and I’m about to hit 5,000 miles with no problems. Sorry to hear your experience is not the same. Any chance you will sell me your service manual if you get rid of your adv? At the moment, Helminc are not selling service manual for 2024 adv 160.

I have 110,500 miles on my Helix and she’s just getting started.

Almost 800 miles on my 2024 adv 160 and no issues with this bike at all!

Dude, I know exactly what you mean when you talk about people not being attentive. I miss riding, it was a lot of fun, but I just had too many close calls. My buddy gave me that XR650 I rebuilt the engine on; in the month or so that I had it running and was riding it, I must have gotten hit 3 different times.

Still think this thing well end up more trouble then it's worth...

Booti... Yes I'm guilty of laughing like an immature jr high student in sex ed class Edit Didn't know fax machines use thermal paper. I thought they used tunner carriages

I really enjoyed the rant part of this video. I’ve been watching you since you pretty much started. I use Plex to host my media, my 2012 retina mbp is on Monterey using opencore patcher, I used a BlackBerry Classic for years until they stupidly killed 3G without issue, I use a plasma tv from 2012, Sony receiver from 95, and I use a optical audio to analog converter, and so on. Like you’ve said, I prefer older tech both hardware and software. Stuff just works.
