Suzuki Burgman 400 - Long Distance Touring Machine - Full Mods 

Esploratorestremo so how was your trip in Europe ? Had any problems on the road ?

Maybe we get to meet one day on my way to Oslo.

@@BurgmanChile SI amigo se vienes par visita par aqui, you are welcome.

wheels dont matter, just how many miles you put on them. ride on!

that's a helluv a setup there. how do you like the LeoVince? I put a Yoshimura time ago and didn't last long. I run Gerbings instead of the heated grips I find them better when its cold or doing night/mountain passes as I can plug the jacket as well, on favor of the grips, you can use them anywhere anytime.

thanks for stopping by. hopefully you can ride it around and beyond! let me know if you have any questions.

+ScooterDano thanks for watching bud!

SilverWing is an awesome ride. Put a lot of miles on it. stay safe.

thank you!

TinMan thanks Mike! I even took it to snowy roads, look up for burgman off road. Whenver I need to ride serious miles, the Burgman is my weapon of choice. Ride on Mike!

thank you! let me know if you have any ?s! ride on!

thanks for watching! have good winter ride over there!

I've got both. I ride a Yamaha 1300 V Star and the Burgman 650 Exec. On long distances the scooter beats the cruiser bike all the time when it goes to comfort and usability.

yeah, that's about right (4.5) for two up fully loaded using OEM 18gr rollers. I've tried the 14gr and it goes down to 5.5.

@@BurgmanChile Thanks for your replay and ride safe.

go get your bike and do it!

If its been proper maintained, I can say for sure more than 100 thousand.

@@BurgmanChile tks for the answer. Have you heard something about the new engines on 2007 models on?

that's the one I I have 2007-2017 its the same engine. in my opinion bullet proof. The only thing I've done, its changing the sparkplug and checking the valve clearance. I use only Amsoil 10w-40 sythentic oil.

@@BurgmanChile But what do you think about the old engines? before 2007.

I haven't ridden it. you can check the comments on the burgmanusa forum

thanks for stopping by

La única mejora es que ahorras en gastos de mantenimiento, porque limpias el filtro cuando quieres tiene mejor flujo de aire y es eterno. No ganas mas HP ni velocidad, pero el motor trabaja mejor. Atento a tus comentarios.

@@BurgmanChile graciss es justo lo que quería, tengo una Downtown 300 2019 y pagar 11mil pesos cada filtro me parece demasiado ya que por 60mil compro este. Saludos.

+GLS hey there! thanks for watching!. I love COTA. def on my bucket list. I've installed all the gear on my bike, don't let anybody else to mess with it. It's very nice you get to ride with your soon. keep riding together! I will check his channel out.!

Алексей Панченков thanks for watching! the racks are Fehling code 7817 ST SU AN 400 Burgman Bj. 07

+Burgman Chile Thanks a lot! BTW, very nice and expensive setup you have :) I've decided to create side racks on my own. Are AirHawk2 sead pads worth to pay as AF266 for rider or passenger? What exact version of Airhawk2 do you have?

I have the AirHawk 2, the medium cruiser (driver) and the Cruiser Pillion, they are worth only if you are riding more than 8-10 hours, specially in the heat. The windshield GIVI AF266 provides protection for both, rider and passenger I really recommend this, makes highway rides much more quiet and in summer you can remove the sliding piece and it becomes a short one so you get a lot of wind while riding in the city. let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks for quick answer! I already have AF266 and this is awesome windscreen! I bought it after such comments from different users on BUSA.com and absolutely no regret about it.

Алексей Панченков cool, ride safe my friend!

@100KM/H about 280KM

¿es una Bergman, se ha caído o dado un golpe en la rueda delantera?

+Burgman Chile si la compre la compre con golpes alos lados es una an400 2013 y solo tenia 800 millas pense que era una buena compra por que solo tenia unos rasguños,pero no estoy seguro si se golpeo en la rueda delantera

+Burgman Chile sospecho que si se callo

+Burgman Chile que podría haces en esta situación?

pone el caballete central y mira los "front forks" desde abajo hacia arriba, busca si están doblados, si no hay nada visible, podrìa ser los rodamientos/ruleman de dirección. Realiza una inspección visual del RIM si tiene golpes eso podría afectar, cualquier cosa me avisas.

I chose this one mainly because of comfort, I think to reach this level of comfort in a regular motorcycle you'd be aiming to a Goldwing or a Burgman 650 therefore if you look at the figures and run the math, you get a really good base package to build upon if you want for long distance touring as I did. Another factor I considered was the ease of maintenance which I run by myself. Btw I own a motorcycle as well.

depends on how much weight is how much, the max gvwr wasn't even close. I light as well as the pillion. good speed.

agreed. maintenance is more difficult as well.

Entiendo que en Lima tienen Burgman 400 a la venta, pregunta en el representante de Suzuki. En Chile la 2017 sin ABS cuesta 7000USD

You should. The scooters are the real touring bikes. Try it out, you get hooked on it in no time. What a $ 30 000 Gold Wing does, a scooter 400-750cc can do too.

Same here

I've had sport bikes and full touring bikes, but the only bike I want anymore is a scooter. They make riding fun again

​@@herrmahlzahn6924 hell just get a silverwing instead

happy to help. Burgman still running great! let me know if you have any questions!

real bikes are the ones how ride more miles in two wheels than four.

I love that MP3! lovely ride you got there. I agree with you on the saddle bags I like them better than being top heavy. The Airhawk is a really good add-on for long distance touring, although pricey, it is worth. Ride on Steve and thanks for watching!

if you have any ?s let me know, I've ridden thousands of Kms on this for multiple days.

amazon prime is taking awhile, stay tuned! lol.

Well, not everyone rides a Gold Wing. Some people think a Silver Wing would be doing it too.

I have the Burgman 400. I could definitely take a long trip in it but if I was buying a bike specifically for long trips I would go with a larger size the burgman 650 or Honda Silverwing 600. Even though it is a little extra speed that is not the reason. The 400 is good for driving to work but on the highway if you are going at high speed for long periods and you have strong wind it can blow you around because it is not heavy enough. A few times driving home from work when it is very windy I have to slow down a lot which would be dangerous on open highway. The Burgman 650 is basically the same size frame but there is more weight on it. Although loading it down with luggage under the seat is probably a good thing to get more weight on the bike as well. Don't get me wrong- I do like the weight. This is a good thing- you get really good gas mileage driving to work, the 400 has just enough weight so you don't get blown around going to the store. But open highway on a long trip is a different story. This is why they make the Burgman 650.

@@raymondkidwell7135 I'm doing all sorts of touring on a 2004 Honda silverwing currently. Take a look at my channel if you're interested

+Carlos Pagan gracias! Hicimos una nueva ruta donde recorrimos Chile completo, revisa "Living the Dream Chile" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zQ3AKrZGKTo.html

late response, but I got them from the dealer in Japan.

true that

what kind if problems

I rode in Italy, check this out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p5EeA6JgiEI.html

very true, when you ride through the desert where there is nothing in days walking too much junk sometimes is needed.

sure. it's the "Breakaway Cruise Control". brakeawayproducts.com

thank. It has two parts. How do I install the second part? To move the handlebars, is not it? it's not difficulto on burgman 400?

it's just one piece with a long piece that touches the front brake lever so when you brake it releases the throttle. It's easy to install just need to adjust it to fit your grip.

BIG Thank!!!

+Noebiwan Kanobi thank you. I will try, but it's super easy, just remove the plastic cover and you will see two nuts, undo those and put the metal plate on it. You may want to look for the holder, this is the one: SW-MOTECH Vibration-Damped Quick Release GPS Holder for Suzuki AN400 Burgman

cerca Air Hawk su Amazon.it e motoracingshop.com, assicurati di cercare il airhawk passeggero.

thank you!

that's awesome! I hope you get to ride it around a lot these days. be safe and let me know if you have any questions!

thanks a lot keep riding!

+jonathanbain14 thanks for watching! it seems small but It handles well with all that equipment. It's got a good GVWR. The Burgman 650 GVWR is even better than the Honda Goldwing.

400 can handle it fine. It's like a sportbike engine sawed in half. Loves to please.

Chad Bolling hey Chad, thanks for watching!. No I don't. The seat was open at that time because we were taking a break. We did had a lot in it though but always full enough to close it. For that ride we took unknown off the map/GPS routes so we rode prepared for the worst case scenario. that's why even had the air matresses and folding chairs in the pillion's backrest. let me know if you have any ?s. ride on!

there were straight from Japan, weblike dot net I think it was. They work well for the winter.

this are the Denali D2, fit perfectly without the need to buy any additional kit. I bought them from twistedthrottle.com. I have them set up to light the road ahead, so they I don't light the sides, you may want to twist them to do that. They are so bright that in two lines roads the oncoming cars may thing you are on high beams. The Denali D2 are meant for night riding they are seen during the day for not as much as other denalis lights as the D4 (bigger). let me know if you have any questions.

Hello Fernando, Many thanks for your kind answer. I have few more questions. 1) You purchased just Denali's, without additional mounting kit, right? 2) Is it possible to rotate them to light up sides of the road without additional mounting kits as well? 3) Is it big difference between High/Low beam on Denali's? I mean when you switch Denali from Low to High - do you have same light zone, just brighter, or they do light up bigger space in this case? Many thanks in advance. I guess you're only one D2 Burgman owner, so real feedback from you is priceless!

1) I purchase the recommended kit but I don't needed it. 2) No. you may need to modify the mounting kit for that. 3) I use them only on their maximum setting (it is not high beam but let's call it that) they are brighter and light further down the road.(I'd say about 200+- meters)

Sorry for buzzing you with questions, but TT is not answering my questions :( Per D2 specs they say that beam Angle: 10° or 40° How do you change this angle? By switching low / high setting pressing button or you have lenses in your kit?

sure no problem! yeah, it comes with a button. The D2 does not support lenses. The button that comes with the kit only turns on the lights, you need to connect them to your high/low beam circuit to get them to work on both modes. I have them running always on high beam.

look into the 650 my buddies in the USA call her "half a busa"

@@BurgmanChile sure will. they are great for modding. huge aftermarket mods and such for the big scoots such as silverwings and so on.

yeah. so many aftermarket add ons that it gets dangerous for your budget. :)

we've ridden two up adding up 396pounds between rider and pillion plus the same setup shown in the video for 3000+ miles no issues, obviously the responsiveness is not the same, it isn't quick bike but once you get to 60MPH from there on no issues on backroads, twisties or highway.

Burgman Chile thanks for your reply

sure thing! if you have any question just let me know.

Ride On!

thank you!

jajajaja

+Adventure Perspective maybe it's time to get one! lol jk

if only i had the cash

and I wanna ride there! so let's meet up half way! lol

That's great idea.. Keeping touch..Bro~

Apuesto a que él habla una especie de español andaluz también, o puede ser portogés. Pero el problema es que él quiere que las personas de todo el mundo puedan ver el video. Incluso cuando el español es el idioma más hablado en el mundo, el idioma internacional es el inglés. Lo siento.

right on chico!

+Vim Hill you're very welcome. make sure you check out the series "living the dream" where I tour on that over the driest desert in the world.

I got it from eBay. its the Givi AF-266 but for the 650 it's the Givi D257ST / D263ST. Cheers.

+Burgman Chile thank u mate

+Burgman Chile I just checked eBay and the result was the windscreen not the wind side deflectors Thanks again

my bad, -i thought you were asking for the windscreen. The side deflectors are in Ebay, search for "Side visors Burgman 650"

+Burgman Chile thanks dude

yes

Why do you care, did your dad yell at you a lot?

thank you very much!

2013 and still eating miles.

apeirrron thank you!

It can be ridden 2 up fully loaded, 130KMH/80MPH. for days, no problem.

@@BurgmanChile Appreciate the reply - just what I wanted to hear !!

+Juan Manuel Rodriguez Vega Hola. Tenés que hacerle mantenimiento a la transmisión, seguro que esta lleno de polvillo que provoca esa vibración "jerky".

+Juan Manuel Rodriguez Vega revisa los rollers y la correra, puede que tengan desgaste.

muchas gracias. de todos modos soy un ignorante total en mecanica y prefiero pagar 300 dolares antes que intentar hacerlo yo mismo y terminar pagando mucho mas. Igual voy a decirle lo que me dijiste vos. gracias de nuevo.

+Juan Manuel Rodriguez Vega OK. cualquier cosa me avisas.

I changed the rear tire after 21,700 miles and put back in the original Bridgestone Hoop really like it.

I guess it really comes down to how comfortable you're riding it. if you check out the channel and look for "living the dream Chile series" I've ridden more than 3K miles in one trip where I did a tour in Chile through the driest desert on earth, off road, etc. I managed to cruise over 80MPH in 12-14 hours of riding daily. The load and the size of the rider can make some difference on how you feel on long distance touring, specially when you're riding more than just a weekend out. When you're riding any bike, it's certainly safer ride within the range you're comfortable with.

Sounds like for you, it's time for a Silver Wing.

I've ridden my 2005 Burgman 400 from Florida to Maryland going 80 mph and did 1000 miles in 18 hrs. The only concern was rpm's was too high for my comfort. Went to Dr Pulley Sliders and rpm's dropped 1100 rpm's less at 80 mph. Much better! I like riding around 70-75 mph and puts rpms around 6,000

thats what she said as well.
