@@malverned382 I’ve got her jetted and set up very nicely with pods now. Really picked up the performance. Some thought my clutch was slipping in my last video but I actually back off and on again in third gear. The pods have a big change in the intake sound that I have to get used to hearing when it comes on the pipe at 6,000 lol.

@@charliestoybox2099 Good to know Charlie, just for anyone else who happens on your channel I will add my info, 1975 H1F, stock airbox (no induction horn) Ivan's jets as follows Mains are 107, Pilot Number 030, airscrews 1.5 turns out, slide needles stock position, Higgspeed pipes (low style), altitude 900 feet here if that makes any differece. Never know, may help someone in the future!

@@malverned382 I found it only leaks if full topped up. I tried replacing the cap gasket but she still seeps. I’m guessing it has a hairline crack near the very top. I should be able to take a soldering iron to it once I have time to really look for the crack.

@@deancoetzee500 my old busted up legs don’t miss its weight. But let me tell you, I came to the realization that that bike was one of the few that I jumped on no matter the weather. A great year round bike. I have a 1300 GSA specked out with the comfort suspension. I’ll see how my legs deal with it at its lower height when stopped.

@@paulscountry456 sometime last year while driving home from work, the thought that I hadn’t even seen a Yamaha RD on the streets in years was pleasantly broken as a RD 350 pulled up next to my truck at the light. I really miss seeing 2 strokes on every block like when I was younger.

@@paulscountry456 white pass wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be that day. The cars were moving at a decent pace. It was fairly smooth on my scrambler, but not so smooth for my buddy on his Ducati 😂

@@paulscountry456 love the KTM dirtbikes. I had a 505 XC and a 300 XC. I preferred the 300 2 stroke. You learn to really pay attention to the ground when you stop or just fall on your but 😂

@@paulscountry456 I was going to say forget about the deer. I’ve been seeing a lot more elk this year in places I normally don’t.

@@thaddeuslevandoski5492 I’ve got her running very well now. I enjoy doing my own tuning versus something that’s made as a one size fits all. Even with modern bikes and generic flashed ecu’s, I’ve always spent time with my dyno tuner fine tuning for my specific bike. I’ll get the triple on the dyno this summer to verify my air fuel ratios.

@@bobsch-gd6ze yes sir, I’ve been using Yamalube.

@@stevestowell-virtue3781 the sound sure puts a smile on my face.

@@Ghostdog4 “valves are for toilets” had me busting up 😂

@@Texmotodad now those are some good memories.

@@williamhiller3988 I set the float height at 24mm. Pilot jet up to 32.5. Main jet is 105. UNI Pods are UP-4182AST 2 stage angled. I removed the red outer foam and just using the black inner. Stay away from pods like the K&N that have closed ends. That messes up the intake pulses. I’ll get her on the dyno to check the AF this summer to see if I can safely lean out the mains more. The needle that was in my carbs weren’t marked. I’m at the very top notch, but I started at the middle notch and dropped the needle a notch at a time till my mid cleared up.

Sure appreciate it! Thanks.

@@guycarlos3169 the clutch wasn’t slipping. If you look closely, you can see me backing off then back on the throttle. The intake sound with the pods vs the air canister is so different that it made me think that the motor freewheeled when it came on the pipe at 6,000 so I quickly rolled off and on just to check.

@@derekb2765 she runs way better everywhere. She actually lifted the front wheel on acceleration for the first time last Saturday when I got her out for a bit. The stock intake system really choked her out.

@@Marcus_Berger1701 I’m sure glad someone told me about them. For some reason every time I heard the name Doc Martens, I thought they were women’s fashion boots 😂

@@charliestoybox2099 Well i wear Dr. Martens since 1989 and i repair them as a hobby and then in the 70s 80s and 90s they were definitely not womens boots. In the last 10 years women took over the whole martens universe. Thats true. Especially those platform Jadon boots like yours were tough for me to rock. Because i thought people would make fun of me. But after 4 years of wearing them i noticed that most people are just interested in the guy who has the balls to wear them as a man. Women in my area really like that. 🤣 If you wear them with confidence people actually don't care. I am really surprised because i only got positive reactions. They certainly make you stand out of the boring crowd of "i don't want to offend people with my shoes" thinkers. 😅

@@h3wlett thank you.

@@aaronlee0203 and you know I have a life long experience of being short 😂

@@manuelarauco5711 all you do for the reset is start the bike from cold. DO NOT TOUCH THE THROTTLE AT ANYTIME. Let it idle till the fan comes on. Let the bike run at least 15 minutes then turn the bike off. Then restart the bike and you’re done. Mine started and died the first time on the restart, but has been great since.

Thanks so much for the response!

@@woodywood3388 haha yeah, chrome isn’t for everybody. My first chrome bike lol.

@@martingadd triumph released a line of chrome edition bikes in 2023. This was the scrambler version of the Chrome Edition line.

Yes okay, of course. I wantyto up mine (2019) XE to chrome but can't find any supplier (I'm in the UK). Guess I could get my white one stripped and chromed.

@ I don’t know if Triumph would sell you a chrome tank for a none chrome model. But I’m sure it would be expensive.

@@Clint_the_Audio-Photo_Guy good choice to stay away from a sketchy dealer. My inseam is 30”. I recently picked up a pair of Doc Martens Jadon Arc boots. That extra inch in sole thickness has been a game changer for me. Curious, what is you inseam length? I’ve never had a bike that I could flat foot at my height.

My inseam is about 33", I just measured. I buy 34's in jeans.

@ the XC is a quicker handling street bike, so a good choice for predominantly the street. The XE besides having a taller suspension, has a more raked out front end to add stability off road, slowing down the steering quickness. I was planning on running knobbies and taking mine off road, but unfortunately I’ve been having issues with my right hand this year so the smart thing was to stay on the road this year. Maybe next year.

Sorry I didn’t answer earlier. But these were in a box in my friends shop so I don’t know what the cost him.

@@guycarlos3169 nice setup. Hopefully the 105’s aren’t too lean with the Higgspeeds and the UNI’s.

I had 105s at first but it would fall flat at full throttle so went up to 112.5s and it did the trick. ​@@charliestoybox2099

@charliestoybox2099 I had 105s but went up a few more sizes because it falls flat at top end with 105s.

@ appreciate this info. I figured if it ran good on top with the 105’s, I’d still try going richer till she slows down.

@charliestoybox2099 do you mind if I ask what unifilters are you going with? I wanna get a set for my bike.

@@Alexie3333 the stock air intake system on the KH models are extremely restrictive. Stock jetting is so lean that if you remove the intake boots the bike will die. Going up to 35 pilots from the 32’s really improves the way the bike runs. The bike runs even stronger by using 95’s over the smaller mains that were in there. I just need to drop the needle one more notch to clean up that one spot. Now the reason I’ll be swapping in 105’s is that I’ll be switching to pods which flow more air than the factory system. It’s always wise to go up about 10 jet sizes to make sure you’re not lean. If too rich, I’ll slowly lean it out 1 jet size at a time.

@@derekb2765 loved it as a streebike. However I favored my Panigale R for track use. I only rode the R1M on the track while giving a friend of mine instruction.

@@Buffbassist69 back in ‘92 my left talus got crushed while riding motor escort duties. In 2010 my left leg shattered on a 30 foot drop on the dirtbike. Thankfully my surgeon was able to save it instead of amputating. I can’t complain, it’s been a great life full of adventure and experiences.

@@ts03227648 suspension setup is always the first thing I get done.

@@hsjshdihss5326 never had one.

@@JathinKarkera-ym6zh yes, sad when your injuries won’t let you ride the bikes you love anymore.

@@charliestoybox2099 damn brother what happened to you are u good now

@@JathinKarkera-ym6zh too many years of road racing and motocross lol. At 60, injuries finally caught up to me and my ankles don’t like to bend as much. So that’s why mostly adventure bikes these days for a more relaxed foot position. However I am toying with a Hayabusa for next year as I’ve found out that the peg position is more relaxed. But thanks, after more than 40 years of riding and more than 40 bikes, I can’t complain. Many great memories.

@@charliestoybox2099 With every beginning comes an end its sad but thats the way of life. at least you could have enjoyed it and survive all those years. I still have to wait 4 more years before i can ride a 1000cc bike because of age restriction you need to be 24+ to ride one of these.

@@HonderdtachtigCC what country are you in? There are lots of cool small bikes to enjoy as you grow.

@@goodolgreybush I’m using the Purple Panda mic. Very inexpensive.

@@charliestoybox2099 hell yeah im gonna look into that. thanks dude. keep up the content! stay safe out there washington drivers dont notice us bikes out here enough!

@ that’s why I try to stay away from the cities L O L

@@cryptodash6349 is it a used bike? Might take a look on the menu to see if the previous owner had it added on. Good luck.

@@-bollox I explained this in another video. Short story is the bike belonged to a friend of mine. He picked up the chambers, then passed away. His wishes were to mod the bike, and so I shall. Anybody else’s wishes as to how the bike should be doesn’t concern me.

@@marktiller1383 95’s worked very good with this setup. Love the sound.

@@stevehopkinson4871 I think we have a communication issue here lol. These are the Higgspeeds that my buddy had originally purchased for the 500. Pipes sound sweet.

@@charliestoybox2099 sorry mate you said the weld isn’t as good as your buddies its very hard to get very good weld if the tubes are the same diameter but welding that’s a different matter and yes the Higgspeed’s are a lovely sound you have a very nice looking Kawasaki there

@@stevehopkinson4871 the rare times when my buddy has time to build custom exhausts, his welds are a pure work of art. Some millionaire collector takes up all his free time fabricating parts for his collection.

@@LucasJohnsonVisuals I don’t carry passengers so I really couldn’t tell you. Sorry.

@@derekb2765 me too. sadly I don’t get enough time to ride. Only 1550 miles in one year.

@@simonburch2067 I’m using the Peak Designs mount and phone case. You don’t need to buy a separate vibration dampener as it’s already in the design. So far it’s been good with my iPhone 14 ProMax, no issues.

@@mohawk1778 my dealer is SoSo Cycles in Tacoma, Wa. But here’s the deal, depending on your bikes specs, the extra ride modes might not be able to be added. Before I bought my bike, my dealer had to contact BMW to verify that all the modes could be added. So there is a possibility that you can’t add the modes.

@charliestoybox2099 gotcha, my bike is a '22 and came with same three modes yours did. The bikes are almost the same besides mine being an ice Grey and yours the trophy color scheme. I appreciate you getting back to me because at least now I have a little more to go on in this process.

@@mohawk1778 good luck. My dealer emailed BMW my VIN. If I remember, there were two kits they had to order once BMW ga e the okay.

@charliestoybox2099 im just glad I found your video because at least now I have something more to go on. My dealer had never done a retro fit before so I'm not sure they knew exactly what to do. I really appreciate the help man!

@charliestoybox2099 hey man just wanted to thank you for your help again. I got the ride modes put on today thanks to your help. I had SoSo do it and it was super simple on my end of things. I told them you sent me there so maybe they will help you out next time your in there with a discount or something. Anyway thanks again man!

@@derekb2765 I’ve been tuning since I was a teen lol. What I’ve found with dynos, is that they are great for tuning for power. But getting that perfect ride ability for the street is still best done on the street or track. I’ve been up to no good which I still haven’t posted up about, need to do an update video lol. Unfortunately works had me super busy with little free time.

@@porcupinebob7907 if I wasn’t retiring in five years and leaving the bike behind when I move back to Asia, I’d love to stick the 750 engine in this chassis.

@@charliestoybox2099 Oh ok, I had a friend , Chris Johnson, here in Oakland, ca that did that swap back in 1982...BTW, how much are you asking for the bike?

@@porcupinebob7907 I’ve got a friend that’s been asking about it. I’ll probably let him have it for 6k when I leave.

@@charliestoybox2099 Oh dang, thats a good deal!

@@porcupinebob7907 this bike belonged to a friend that passed away. We’re trying to keep the bike within our friend family, so profit isn’t a concern.
