Abram Patrick Abesamis quite an issue that I’m still figuring out. For now I make sure to find one of my cellos at the destination by previously bringing it there (if it’s a common place to go to). The issue is about how cello cases are made (rigid or not) because their shoulder straps are always to high, leaving to much of the bag below the waist. Should I find a practical solution, I’ll let you know for sure!!
Dont bother with too many mods unless you plan to keep the bike until you run it to the ground. I dont find it to be worth it to modify any "starter" bike, except for exhaust maybe. You're never going to get it to go super fast and it will be very expensive just to squeeze a few extra horses or shave a few pounds off a bike made for commuting. You'll never make your money back when you re-sell it, in fact, stock bikes usually go for more money. Putting $3k In mods on a bike is not worth it to only put 3k-5k miles on it...I'd say wait until your second or third bike, when you really get a feel for what you like and how you like to ride. Then you can get your "dream" bike and make the appropriate mods. I'm sort of on that step now myself.
@@turtlepowersf I would get an aftermarket exhaust and seat, but keep the originals in case I want to sell it. That way I can just put the original jawns back on.
@@SlightlyDazed. thanks for the support, I am actually feeling horrible for my two little sisters and worrying for how they will take it. They don't have the nessasary emotional stability to leave this without damage, at least their out at our grandparents house for a little while.
7:40 I got one of the Ergo ones for my Duke (as they are jsut about the only aftermarket ones you find without having it custom made) and it really does make a big difference. Especially with KTM's very firm stock seats
Your are comparing Yammie to Ryan, seriously? Ryan has some brain in him. He talks science in a simply and comical enough way for the average joe to understand and laugh about. "Like the man with two dicks would say, you've only seen half if it." "Slap my ass and call me Sussie! On the other hand, Yammie boy for the most part is a metrosexual/drama queen who tries too hard to be funny. A lot of what he says is personal opinion based on, hmm, how did the Trump administration out it? Hmm, oh yeah, "alternative facts." This is the first and only video of his that I actually liked. Except for the minute and a half of BS talk he did at the beginning. Good thing I fast forwarded it.
Yammie noob has always been a poser. Can't believe this channel has 1 mil subscribers. I remember when he first started it. Handing out advice as a noob made me laugh. It's easy to fake it now. They just watch other videos and copy each other.
He says a front sprocket is more involved to change out than a rear. Makes me sceptical of whether or not he has ever changed a sprocket. Good ole yamm.
@@Josh-lj4et sounds like you were going to fast to notice gravel? Thi accident could have been prevented if you has checked out your turns first. Maybe even sweep some gravel away on a turn.
Good luck with the course and have fun riding. I went with a used Vulcan S as my first bike. Love it. I've never paid so much attention to the forecast as I do now!
2 Gunz You and your ilk are what’s wrong with motorcycle culture today. Ignorant children that believe terms like “mega dank nooners” and various iterations of “Yam” are anything other than moronic, and thinking the street is a suitable replacement for a race track. Maybe someday you will grow.
@@dubcityfx4841 its people like you who don't understand satire and sarcasm that's wrong with the biking community yet you probably pop down a twelve pack and think its alright to go out riding, yea cause that's smart maybe someday you will get too old to hop on your Harley and assault the road pirates with your loud pipes. maybe its you that should grow up bud. . .
nicholas labrecque You just put your immaturity on full display by butting your way into an obviously ended conversation. With nothing more than accusations at best because your triggered at that! Nothing about stupid slang terms that one ACTUALLY USES are satirical, or the least bit sarcastic. I’m not even entertaining your “go down a twelve pack and think it’s alright to go out riding” nonsense. You are lashing out about someone you have never/will never meet so you have nothing but accusations to go on. Real mature there bud. My previous statement stands, and these immature children riding around on their street legal track bikes that regularly see triple digits and/or are often only on the rear tire on public roads ARE a stain on the motorcycle community. As are the “badass” MC wannabe’s. Grow up and act like a competent human being.
I just got my endorsement a couple weeks back. Riding a yamaha bolt. I love your videos.The classic music is the perfect touch. Thank you for everything!
I had floor boards installed on my 2014 honda ctx700 dct. As an aging noobie rider, i found my feet tended to shake on the standard pegs, and i had a hard time finding the sweet spot for matching my foot to the peg. Floor boards changed all that. Riding away from the shop the first time with floor boards, i felt like I was riding a boat, and questioned my sanity, but I quickly got over that mod shame as the floor boards just feel safer, and like my leather chaps and jacket, build my rider courage and confidence so i can focus on building skills.
#1. What's a sprocket? Oh, wait. I have shaft drive. Never mind. #4. My FJR has OEM cruise control. CC was a "must have" feature along with the shaft drive, ABS, liquid cooling, and EFI. #7. Highway pegs are great for providing a change of position on a long ride.
Hey Yammy, I splurged on the “Air Hawk” Air pocket seat pad with dreams of feeling the wind between my cheeks on a swampy summer day. Yes I did feel that sweet sweet air although on my hypermotard I felt lacking in control when diving into those twisters and you will not be doing any dank nooners with this seat either. What it provides in comfort you lose in stability and connection to your bike. So if long lazy rides are your thing it’s worth a try
Vibration makes my hands numb and over long period can cause irreversible damage to capillaries in hand. Once that happens, good bye riding, using tools, playing anything and so on.
Its a ratio. Bigger front sprocket/smaller rear gives you more top speed, worse acceleration. Smaller front/bigger rear gives better acceleration but less top speed.
Aftermarket saddle is so worth it, I have Corbin's on two of my Ninjas, and a Saddlemen on my GW. I'm surprised you didn't mention better brakes, like pads,and rotors. Still a good video 👌
Oh buddy; Heated grips, adjustable windscreen, enduro footpegs without rubber crap so you can stand up properly, titanium exhaust, aux lights, AX41 aggressive enduro tyres, handlebar raisers if you’re tall... that’s a BMW gs 1200 rally adventure, aka what dreams are made of! Recommend you try one out finally! The ducatista will become a beemerista.
You're wearing a helmet with a huge visor. Have you had any issues with that at 65 mph plus? I've heard they could be dangerous but I really need a solid visor for the low winter suns.
I'm gonna say this before I watch because I know its coming, Tank grips. Edit: Why Yammie you always say get tank grips but not in this one for some reason...
Top tip.........Drive your motorcycle to the nearest motorcycle dealer, select a motorcycle, haggle with the dealer for a part exchange with your motorcycle, do the deal then simply ride ride off into the sunset, and I guarantee this motorcycle will feel like a totally different bike than before. :)
My favorite mid was black spongy motorcycle handlebar grips. They don't soak up water in the rain. I used on 2 motorcycles for 14 years. Another mod is Continental tires, I had a 1984 Honda V65 1100cc crotch rocket that I abused as much as much as possible. I put 12,000 miles a year (6 months of riding) in upstate NY. Changed front tire every 3 years. Changed rear tire every 2 years.
One thing our sweet boy, Hammy Doob, didn't mention is that going too much smaller on the front sprocket can cause faster wear on your chain and that sprocket because the chain is having to make a tighter turn around said sprocket. It's usually a safer bet to just change the rear (unless you're going for a specific ratio), and you're able to more finely tune the ratio since changing 1 tooth on the front is *roughly* the same as changing 3 teeth on the rear.
My Panigale as Marchesini, they are indeed great and light wheels. However, for my 848EVO I bought a set of carbon fibre wheels and oh my god, what an amazing difference they made. If you can afford carbon wheels, then you should definitely get a set. They're simply amazing.
Check👍 wrist rest. Wouldn’t be without it. I got the throttle gizmo but hardly ever use it even on long rides. Foot peg rests...here in Qld Australia you can register your ride for single rider only, pegs for pillions have to be removed. My clever hubby welded them on the front I use them on long rides for stretch. Windshield? They be for kitty cats! Ha ha when I get old I’ll get one. Thanks for your vlogs. I enjoy 😉
We out here 10 minutes in. My father yam is teaching me the best of the best. In the divine grace of Lord Rossi I will be saved. Safe in his racing suit. Vroomen
I can't live without a tardy tail. Bumper stickers go on the helmet, in the front, over the visor. Replaced my motorcycle wheels with bicycle wheels, which were much lighter. Thanks my noob.
If he goes a bagger route I feel like he would benefit more from trying the Indian Challenger out. Both are expensive and comfy, and the power output is nearly the same though the GW edges it out. From what I've seen/heard even from GW owners/riders they like the feel of the Challenger a lot more. But I don't know if Yammie cares too much about the feel of V-twins. His buddy might like it a lot though even though they made a video crapping on Indian about it lol, he even loves the Scout to boot.
Another 1:30sec to get beyond the irrelevant giveaway promos. On the verge of not watching any yammie vids. Please put "bike giveaway" stuff at the end. I've really enjoyed you work Yam... just having trouble enjoying it recently.
I got the comfort seat for my Panigale. You don’t slide around like the stock seat which is great, but it is a lot higher so it changes the seat position still not sure if I like it or not
Halfway through I thought I had watched this video yesterday then realized that from 4:40 on this video is just FortNine's video from a year ago almost verbatim ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i92TqZUMUmc.html
Loved your Cello classical music in the background. It was so refreshing to watch a video without crazy ridiculous rock n roll headache inducing noise.
It definitely IS NOT a free bike giveaway if you are charging everyone money to enter your drawing!! Thats pretty fake if you ask me but thats cool it suits who you are! #MakeItFree
Yamster.....you ment you can pick the throttle rockers up at most local shops for fairly cheap because without your local shop.. you won't have parts on hand when you need them!
Thank you for the inspiration. After watching you and the circle ninja for a few days, I am finally confident that I have the skills and ability to become the best motorcycle youtuber ever! As a fall back plan, just in case I get a head injury or something like that. That's really reassuring and will even help me on the road by making me less risk adverse.
"Rear sprocket is easier to replace then the front sprocket?" Gotta disagree with that. Also good anti vibration inserts or risers are usually used single cylinders, and don't forget about bar ends, some nice heavy bar ends can greatly reduce vibrations to. good typical mods tho, except lighter wheels isn't usually a beginner mod. I'd love to have the Alpina tubeless with black n orange rim, orange hub, black spokes.. please.
For most bikes the rear sprocket is held on by like 6 bolts and is easy to access. While the front sprocket normally requires some removal of covers or paneling and or sensors like the speedometer
Heated grips. The greatest accessory on the planet. Saves from frostbite if you're really in the cold, and in medium weather you can wear thinner summer gloves. I hate having to squeeze through insulation all day long with thick gloves and this makes them nearly unnecessary.
