hey guys Albe here again, so last video was about the five things I love
about the BMW f800gs, in this video I'm gonna give you five things I hate
about the BMW f800gs, now hate is a very strong word there is nothing on the
bike that ticks me off that much that makes me hate, but there are a few things
I don't like, but enough with the chitchat let's get on it.
so among the things I hate about the BMW f800gs it's the ABS, now the ABS works ok
intervenes when is supposed to and is fairly easy to disengage the only thing
is, I would rather be able to engage and disengage the ABS on the fly without
having to stop, second of all I wish they had the option for the rear ABS to be
disengaged and the front abs to stay on like the Africa twin for example, I wish
there was a dedicated button to actually disengage the ABS on the fly because
some time I'm driving on the street and I see a little trail trailing off on the
side and I just on the spur of the moment I just want to jump on it but I
hate to stop and disengage the ABS because otherwise am I not gonna be able
to stop, if I need to, I do know that by changing the riding mode to enduro the
ABS works differently but for the way I ride I really rather have the ABS
disengaged all together, let's move on to the next one, on the number four position
we have the windscreen, this bike is supposed to be a middle
size touring bike slash adventure slash off-road slash pretty much a lot of
slashes after that, one thing that BMW should have taken care of is the
windshield, the OEM windshield it's it's very short there is pretty much no
protection and I understand it's it's made so that you don't hit the
windshield when you move back and forth on the bike but the fact that I can't
raise it or lower it on a on a bike this expensive, that, that leaves a bad taste
in my mouth, so fortunately the aftermarket comes to the rescue, and I do
know that there is the touring windscreen that you can choose from
which is taller than this but nowaday this windshield should have been
adjustable I mean I'm not buying a $5,000 adventure bike, I'm spending north
of 13, 14 grand, but anyway let's move on. Number three spot goes to the instrument
cluster, the instrument cluster is nearly hideous, it almost looks like the
instrument cluster of my 1980s Vespa I think it was the eighties, but this bike
isn't from the eighties, this is 2015 while everybody else started adopting
LCDs, TFT screens or whatnot we have that. it gives you all the information you
need other than for the fuel level which I understand, due to the size and shape
of the tank they couldn't quite give you an exact, so rather than give you an
estimate they opted to just give you from half a tank down but come on guys
really you could have done better, you've done better on some of the other
bikes, so this is one of the things that I don't quite like about the f800gs
and as always, nitpicking, that's the key word here but let's move on let's
see who've got the two top spot on this list. Position number two of the things I
hate about this bike is the exhaust, obviously these exhaust is an
aftermarket part, but that is testament of how much I dislike the OEM exhaust,
the OEM exhaust it's like a giant round, bleah, sounds bed look bad and and it
was super heavy, thankfully the aftermarket came to the rescue and there
are literally limitless choices of exhausts you can put on your bike and if
you own one of these bikes I suggest you do it because it will change the bike
drastically so the exhaust gets position number two on the things I hate about
the BMW f800gs but without further ado let's take a look at the top spot on
our list. The top spot of the five things I hate about the BMW f800gs is the
suspensions, let's face it this is a BMW those suspensions are awful the front
fork cannot be adjusted in any way shape or form unless you change the spring
rate or you change the viscosity of the oil inside, second of all the travel it's
fair but they're really really soft for a guy like me north of 200 pounds those
suspensions bottom pretty good when when you jump pretty much anything
the rear suspension is adjustable and even that it doesn't make much of a
difference the problem is, any other little bits and pieces can be fixed with
a few hundred dollars but the suspensions cannot, every time you touch
a suspension component we're talking about thousands, now if you only buy
parts, for example if you buy the cartridges from
I believe is Bitubo, that's 800 bucks now if you do the work yourself, great
you're gonna save some money but you also gonna need, oil, I would recommend at
that point to change the seals since you're at it,
things are gonna start adding up and it's gonna be a very very expensive,
I wish BMW actually gave the option for a better version with better suspensions,
those are WP suspensions so those suspensions are supposed to be good and
the fact that they're really not that up to par.....it's something I actually hate
about this bike, now I'm not saying that you buy the bike and all of a sudden you
gotta go spend two three grand to upgrade the suspensions, I'm just saying
that if you push the bike the suspensions are not keeping up especially on the
offroad when it comes to jumps and bumps and stuff, for the weight of the bike and
the rider on it ,meh, they could have been better. so this is the top five of
the things I hate, quotation mark, of my BMW f800gs as I said over and over
and over again, hate is a really strong word it's more a disliked and than
actual full-on hatred but for most of the things I don't like there is an
aftermarket fix, as a matter of fact take a look in the description to see a few
of the parts I added to the bike to compensate for those deficiencies, this
is still a great bike this is still worth every single penny I spent on it
and the joy and fun I got from this bike is, it's priceless
so if you're in doubt about buying this bike don't let those five things
discourage you, this is still a great bike is still worth
buying. as always guys if you liked the video
like, Christmas is right around the corner

video is coming out but be nice and subscribe, as always dirt on and I'll see
