 This is what our air filter looks like. I know a lot of you guys have been wondering, and here it is. Good morning world, welcome back to the channel. We are still here in our little hotel room in the city center of Rio. It's a beautiful gray morning in the city. So today is a really special day where everyone has been waiting for because we get a service done today. It will be the first service after 10,000 kilometers, after a long stretch through the Sahara Desert. It will be really interesting to see how the air filter will look like, and we will change the oil filter as well. Yeah, I think it's definitely time that we do a couple of those things. We've been given an air filter and an oil filter. We've got these parts from Motorcycle World. Thanks guys. And they'll do a couple of other bits to it and oil change is basically gonna get Bumblebee ready for the next leg. So the garage is about 20 minutes from here and the traffic here in Rio is absolutely crazy. So we are heading now to get Bumblebee ready and then head over to the garage. Let's go give Bumblebee a makeover. Look at that, first time, first time start. Amazing. Okay. Back on the roads of Rio. The bus driver is eating and he is looking on his phone. He is a multitasker, that's for sure. Okay. All right, that's us on the road on Avenida Rio Branco. Oh, this new visor that I got is so clear. Oh my God. I can actually see everything around. For the last 1,000 miles of the journey, I couldn't really even see anything. So it says we got about, what is it, about five and a half miles to get down to Botafogo to get to the garage. So let's hope it's a smooth ride down to Botafogo. I think there will be quite a lot of traffic stops. Beautiful, out of the city center. And we're now following this little highway that runs around the coastline. And this is much more free-flowing. And we can get down to the south of Rio to Botafogo. Sugarloaf Mountain just in front of us. Oh yeah, just up there. Cool. Yeah, and as soon as you get out of the central busy financial district, the city center, it's just so much greener. There's more trees as you head into the south. There's a much nicer atmosphere to drive in for sure. Yeah, definitely. I mean, riding through the city center is a nightmare. Yeah, now you can see Sugarloaf Mountain very well. Yeah, and these massive cliffs rising up in between the ocean and the city. It's such a beautiful backdrop to the city. It looks absolutely stunning. Wow, what a location, eh? What a location. And there is Christ the Redeemer. Just covered a tiny bit by clouds. It's a pretty gray day today. But there you can see him. Jesus Christ up there, overlooking the city. Yeah, some really nice attractions in Rio. Some really nice special places. Yeah, so much to discover, so much to see. So we are just due to arrive at our garage in just a minute. And this is our old neighborhood, Botafogo. We have spent about two weeks here. Yeah, it was our first place we came to the first hostel in Rio in the leafy suburbs of the south. This is it. Yes. OK, I'll pull off the street. OK, OK, cool. Ego motos in Botafogo. Cool. Bumblebee is on the rack. Bumblebee is there. And I'm super excited to see how the air filter is. Oh, my God, me too. This is like the main reason I want to get it looked at. I just want to see what's happening with this air filter. The guys at Ego Moto here, they are going to do everything that's necessary to get us going for the next leg. Exactly. Change the air filter, change the oil filter, change the oil. Basically, give Bumblebee a good round of TLC. Yes. So they actually have as well some V-Stroms here in this dealership. So they have the garage at the back and the dealership at the front. And look, it's Bumblebee's cousin. Look at that. It's the black Bumblebee. I believe here in Brazil that they actually just released the V-Strom this year. So what is the V-Strom 2020 model in the UK is actually the 2022 model here in Brazil. So this is a brand new bike here and there aren't that many of them on the road. We certainly haven't seen any on the road. They actually just said that they were quite impressed with how clean Bumblebee is and how like in a good condition, despite the fact that we've crossed like the whole Sahara, Bumblebee still looks good. Little coffee break. Nothing like a free coffee when you're waiting. Flamengo. James at the water. Apparently the best team in Brazil. Bumblebee is naked. Oh, that's a little bit sandy, a little bit dusty. Bumblebee is getting stripped down. Oh, my God. Getting taken apart. Is it the air filter? This is the difficult part under the tank. So really funny here, our lock melted a little bit because it's like just in front of the exhaust and we didn't realize it for a long time. So it just sort of melted and then we try to get the lock off. So we put the keys in, but the keys there broke. So now it's just hanging there and without any reason, really. We asked all the guys, maybe we can maybe we can break it. Get to the air filter. Wow. This is what our air filter looks like. I know a lot of you guys have been wondering and here it is. You know what? That doesn't look that bad, does it? I'm not sure. I don't know really, but it's quite nice. Actually, quite romantic when you think about that. The sand here is from the Mauritanian desert, the Moroccan desert, a little bit from Senegal as well. Yeah, it's the whole history of the journey all in these little grooves, 10,000 kilometers. You guys can tell me in the comments if you think that that looks really bad from an air filter standard or not. Here is the Mazda, the nice oil chain done. You want to try? So that's what the new oil looks like. And this is what the old oil looks like. It's really like dark and black. Yummy, yummy. It's like a new bike already. Our brake pads were very, very low. Look at that. There's like nothing. That's that's a new one. Well, nothing. It's over way. Wow, crazy. It's not safe. Yeah, coming off the ramp. The best mechanic in town. Yeah, look at that. Wow, good as new. Amazing. Do you think the bike will make it another 10,000 kilometers? Yes, yes, yes. Nice. It's like a new bumblebee now to summarize what they've done here at Ego Moto. They have changed the air filter and oil filter that we provided. They've changed the oil, which apparently was really, really necessary. They've actually aligned the rear wheel because apparently that was misaligned. They changed the brake pads. That was bordering on dangerous. That was so that's really good that they've put new brake pads in the back. Yeah, I think we really learned something here to check this like regularly. Absolutely. They gave Bumblebee a really good clean inside as well and donated to us this piece. So this is a radiator guard. They saw that our radiator had been hit by a lot of stones because we went on a lot of gravel and there was quite a lot of damage to the radiator. Oh my God, I'm so, so thankful. Thank you so much, guys. Really, you saved our lives. You've been so kind and so nice. So that's it. It's done. The service is complete. Bumblebee has had some good TLC. So we're ready to hit the road for the next 4,000 miles or 6,000 kilometers where we then have our next oil change waiting for us. Yeah, and checking the brakes because we left it way too long this time. But that is it for today's episode. We just wanted to show you guys that we were going to take care of Bumblebee, that we are doing a service before we leave Rio. And thank you so much, Ego Motors, for your amazing customer service. We felt so welcomed and we absolutely love your Suzuki shop here. And Andrea, thank you so much for everything. We really appreciate it. So thank you so much. So that's it from today's episode.
