I had a z900 and sold it. I now have a ninja1000sx! I like it better. It's more comfortable and the gears are longer. It has more power! I feel safer going fast on the ninja1000sx.
I think the downvotes come from the people with little mechanical understanding. You were reasonably well prepared in theory in the video, but the execution was a bit difficult (painful) to watch. As a tip: please buy proper tools, especially the open-end wrenches seem cheap and ill-fitting. When you were rattling off a few times - it makes you cringe to watch. In the worst case, you'll mess up the nuts. The central nut does not have to be completely unscrewed, just loosen it a little. It can't simply be unscrewed by hand either, but you've already noticed that yourself. Unfortunately, when watching you always have the feeling that you could injure yourself at any time (and we don't want to see that). This is also the case when pulling out and inserting the split pin. And finally, scratching the paintwork with the screwdriver - please don't do that if it's dirty, just go over it with a cloth, but don't try to remove dirt from the swingarm with a screwdriver. Masters are made, not born.
What a timely video to pop up on my timeline. I have been practicing these kind of techniques for the last couple of weeks but great to hear from a professional rider what and why to put these into my daily riding. Wishing you well and safe journeys.
Whilst the officer is correct by the Roadcraft Manual in what he is saying I have seen videos of police officer actually riding using counter balancing for both right hand and left hand bends. Also if one is steering taking a left hand bend by the use of counter steering , and we cannot take bends without counter steering we can still push down to our left and still counter balance. We are taught to counter balance when we are learning and doing say slow u turns ie. turning right, to go right push down and commence the right hand turn and then counter balance by bringing ones up and over body the other way. its one way of doing slow u turns. Push the bike down or turn the bars the way you want to turn and lift yourself up the other way. Under about 15 mph we have no counter steer available so need to steer in a normal way. pull left to go left and right to go right. We always did that on bicycles when we were young.
i really like this bike.but,what to do so much horsepower in an up straight sitting pottinion like this?how you can ride over 120k/h for long?if there was an mt07 with decent suspensions,this bike would be useless
I’ve had my heart set on one of these since they came out. Thank goodness I saw your video before signing on the dotted line. I had no idea the V4’s were only fitted with a 3 speed box. When exactly did Ducati become part of Sturmey Archer?
These bikes can break national speed limits in first gear. I just have a clean licence again so couldn’t really send it. Plus it isn’t my bike sadly but thanks for engaging!
Lo hago igual que tú pero las piezas que marcan las rayas no me quedan iguales hay mucha diferencia de marca, lo he apretado poco a poco y lo mismo en los 2 lados por que pasa eso
Hi, For some reason my chain is very tight in some spots, so much so that it will get stuck when i spin rear wheel, and in other spots it has 3 in / 7.5 cm of slack. I have 10k miles on it do i need to get new chain?
@@blizzthebike I ended up getting a new chain, taking much better care of it. keeping it in spec with tightness and lubing it once a week. New chain feels much better than old one
Most likely your sprocket being slightly off center, new chain is always nice but check sprocket alignment. Nip the bolts open and tighten them in a star pattern a little at a time, should help to even out tight spots.
Start of vid, I personally find a lot of 'newish' riders, counterbalance, because theve watched countersteering videos, and all the concentration goes on that, leading to stiff arms, with no body movement. Just something I've noticed. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for posting this mate but I think most people were looking for a breakdown on the differences between the two and you don't really say much at all.
Got stopped by the police for illegally riding my bike ( that’s what they said ) after twenty minutes of the bulls**t and lies . One of the police officers took my picture and sent it to his friends , he then found out that I was one of 7 people how was involved with teaching the police and authorities throughout Europe on riding and bike safety. Things totally changed , they when informed me that the DVLA had again made a mistake with my new licence ( change of address) and yet again deleted my motorcycle entitlement form my licence on line . Luckily I had the taken a photo my old and a paper copy which I had gone to the polic station to get done and have them sign before I sent the old one in . Which is it with the dvla and motorcycles , this only happen here . I’ve retired so why would I claim entitlement for a bike that I ride for three months a year , but it’s the constant harassment that’s the sticker. It’s used as an excuse and that should be stopped as all your details are on the police computer anyways.
Police initially work from data provided by DVLA. Any data failure from DVLA is not fault of Police who will ideally be aware of the issues re DVLA wrongfully deleting entitlement.
Почему данный мотоцикл почти всё обзоры призывают что данный мот для новичка? Gsx-s 950 с 48hp может быть и для новичка но не 150 лс! Я прокатился на этом мотоцикле - на низких оборотах дерганный байк, мощности очень много, реализовать её просто негде, для обычного человека gax-s950 хватит для всех задач(кроме трека) . По факту ninja 1000sx для новичка подходит лучше так как имеет ограничение мощности на 100hp + трекшен контроль и АБС привязаны к углу наклона мотоцикла что нет в сузуки, как и в z900, но скажу что в синем цвете мот выглядет просто потрясно
I am enjoying mine but those bikes do need a steering damper as they can get upset on windy days especially on exposed motorways or if riding close to large trucks and busses. Since I fitted my steering damper the bike is just a dream to ride.
nice video !! informative :D . i just bought myself a used MT09-SP 2021 !! they are hard to get at this day, dealer says he can't get em for a while, so i was lucky enough to find one :D. CANT WAIT ! i come from a Honda NC750x 2019. so it's going to be a big change haha, i'm ready....or not ;).
One thing I really like about these is that near exhaust tucked under the bike , what are acra thinking about making a big can bolted up alongside the swing arm sorry but it’s ugly as hell
Liked the video I have had the 2018 z650 for 10 months and chain slack as hell gonna do the tightning now knowing what to do a friend told me what to do and said exactly what you done and after seeing it in action makes me a little bit less nervous thanks dude nice tutorial and explanations and tool sizes #Liked
# Very useful, sensible and helpful review. , drive daily to work in the city and also the highway( Commuting) and sometimes during a weekend round of recreational so, which one? don't like Adventure such an engine, love Naked bike & sport tour bike so what is your opinion? S1000R or Speed/ Street triple..... Any way great video
Thanks, I haven’t ridden the S1000R but have ridden both Triumphs. My MT is perfect for everything so I wouldn’t look anywhere else, although the Duke 890R is strong competition.
Tu sais vraiment pas passer les vitesses mec !!! Tu es sur d'avoir ton permis ? Après sa veut dire ses premières impressions 🤣 Moi les premiers sont que tu sais pas piloté
I tried that screen and even though I think it suits the bike I felt it just deflected the air to hit your chest harder. I went with a Puig touring screen which doesn't look great but does keep air off your lower body. The alternative for me would be just a very small cowl that would do nothing for wind but tidy up the front end. But yeah it's a brilliant ride, that torque with the quickshifter = effortless commuting.
