Thank you for the review. Could you please tell me where you got the exhaust?

I have been riding since wheel was invented. If I make a video for every crash I will be a featured film. We don’t have control of road conditions so dress for the slide not the ride. Was it a low side? There are damages on both sides that indicates the bike had flipped at one time after one side touches the ground makes me wonder. I also noticed the snapping throttle response when I first took delivery especially when the idle was high, I always engage lower gear before the lean so the shifting does not upset the chasis at lean. Cheers.

Hi I would like to ask what to do if you're in a situation requiring EMERGENCY BRAKING like when a kid suddenly crosses the road or any vehicle suddenly blocks your way or any vehicle applies sudden brakes.

I love your style of riding it's so chill! Thank you!

Is it normal if the new bike sometimes doesn’t start from the first gear? Or there is a problem with the bike?

Good balance between voice and engine. Nicely done.

Groans , Moans , Wimpers ❤ sound like you really love 😘 the girl - bike i mean 🤣

Хороший обзор дружище!

This chuckle head needs to buy a Harley!

I thought you fell of the edge of the earth. Nice HD!

thanks for the video great details

You are one of the few who made an issue of the off center placement of the dial. It should be in the middle. It's just stupid. The current placement looks like a drunk has assembled the bike in the factory. The only thing around this would be to get a special with two classic dials. Who knows, maybe someone has come up with a way of fixing this lcd dead center. 😂

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I love everything about my TU 250.

I've been dreaming of adding a Moto Guzzi V7 to my garage for some time now. It's refreshing that none of your gripes are any worse than what I'm already used to with my Harley. I think I'll still go ahead and get the Guzzi.

Amazing machine, incredible motorcycle, a shame it was never offered by Suzuki here in Brazil

This video was a huge help even over the msf course class work and training ! I have been stalling under the msf training style… the moment I tried your method compared to what the instructor taught me…. Just wow man. Thanks !

Cool bike. For a quick second I thought you had got another TUX. I have a 2015 and considered selling a few times, I always then recall previous TUX owners say they wished thay hadn’t sold. Thus, mine is still with me and I love it. Keep videos coming. You gotta nice relaxed style.

Personally, I never shift in a curve or turn, and the only throttle is a slow roll. I usually downshift before the curve, then upshift after successfully navigating the turn

It's hard to tell. Are you keeping the clutch at the friction zone when rolling on the throttle from a stand still? Then while still at the friction zone you pull clutch all the way back in to shift to second then back to the friction zone with steady throttle?

It looks amazing, what year was yours' model from?

Best explanation ever on hw not stall

Pls teach us proper u turn .

Great learner bike, but for anything beyond an urban commuter, it's just plain too slow. I had one back in 2018 and the lack of acceleration made me nervous. I now own a new Triumph Speed 400. Same basic idea.... light, agile, etc....but brought up to date. The ability to hold its own on a highway or fast 2 lane road is a major plus.

What happen in your case ,must be some oil in the curve, and you didn' t see it, always check in curves if you see wet liquids.

A VERY BEAUTIFUL BIKE

Wonderful tips I will try them tomorrow

I’ve been riding since the 80’s. I can’t think of a better introduction to motorcycles, and will be picking up a pair of them for my sons. I’m excited to ride with them, and can’t wait to see them ripping around town together!

What was the name of the exhaust that you used?

Absolutely great and unique review with a wide range of biker soul criteria!

Sounds like first time new bike owner. I have been riding for over 50 years and am still looking for that bike that checks all my boxes, but I am still an enthusiactic not reluctant rider😂

heres a tip buddy, turn down the fucking music would ya? i dont wanna hear ur stupid band playing in a hole in the wall while ur wife sleeps with me. mkay?

Two finger gap release of clutch is enough to pull a bike

Operator error, pure and simple. Neither the bike nor the road was out to get you. You are missing one of the greatest riding lessons if you continue to blame the bike or the conditions.

WHEN IT RAINS…..the first hour is the MOST dangerous. The oils on the road get released by the water and cause it to be EXTREMELY slippery and dangerous. After it rains for a while, the oils get washed to the side and road becomes “stickier”

Отличный,обстоятельный обзор!Удачи!!!

The trick for finding neutral on these bikes is to trust your leg's muscle memory instead of the light on the dash. Whatever sensor MG uses to detect gear position is just not accurate. Once you've had the bike a while, you can distinctly feel when it is in neutral rather than second. Even if the green light doesn't come on, it is in neutral.

V7ii Stone here. 1) The suspension likes being soft - wind the rear preload down as far as possible. The front is governed by the fork oil, it is supposed to be serviced and changed every two years. 2) The stock Pirelli tyres are evil, positively demonic. They had so little grip they would fire up the ABS lamp even on dry roads. Changed to Avon Roadrider and the ABS has not been seen since, no tram-lining, no bump steering, handles like a cat in rails. 3) The clutch is a bit more complicated. It's not heavy just set up wrong. You have to release the cable and set the push rod just-so. Retrieve the little cable return spring from the floor and put it in your pocket. Then put the cable back on and set the slack on the clutch lever, without the cable return spring to confuse the issue. Finally put the little return cable spring back in place. Keep the clutch arm pivot scrupulously clean and oiled, the back wheel flings filth at it. 4) Overheating. It is air-cooled. Whilst they are supposed to run at nominal 98C like water-cooled, they can run hotter, like to 110C, but 115C will be overheated. And this is why they run on special ENI 10W-60 full synth oil, because it can take higher temperature without becoming too thin. Do check air filter, all the plumber's nightmare breather hoses for splits, and for breather sponges full of oil, all of which can upset the mix. The breather sponges grow in Lake Como, retrieved by native divers and distributed to dealers by roman ox-cart, delivery is that slow. Then the back end of the bike has to be stripped out to change them, arrgh! 5) Accessories are expensive. Made in Italy not China. 6) Finding neutral is related to the clutch. It must free off to find neutral. Thing heat up after a ride and not so easy to free off - adjust the clutch. The cable return spring confuses setting the free play at the bars, it pulls the free play out. 7) Mirrors, yeah. Get a Halcyon bar end. 8) Exhaust note. Cars are sound proof, they cannot hear loud pipes. Not at all, even when they're talking on their phone. Their minds are off with the fairies, we have to anticipate idiots. My other bike has loud pipes, after some miles it just annoys me. And don't say use ear plugs, I do want to hear what is going on around me. 9) I get 65mpg, proper british gallons.That would be like 80mpg in short-weight US gallons. I don't think I have ever seen it drop below 60mpg (UK), it has gone up to 80mpg on a long steady run. The engine pulls from nothing, use a higher gear. Your bike returns 20mpg and over-heats? Get it sorted. Get that AFR checked. Have you done the valves? - annual ceremony for mid-winter when it is cold, arm chair job, dead easy. Plug gaps 0.700mm spot-on, not out of box 0.9mm! 10) The styling, is italian, perfetto. The Topolino ears could be laid down though.

I can relate to the "The loud noise from the engine would scare me, making me feel like I'm damaging the bike." I laughed out loudly 😂😂

Do you recall where you got the peashooter exhaust? Did it fit without major modifications and still allow the exhaust sensor plug-in? Thanks.

Hello, Reluctant Biker, Cheers from Brazil. I´m into the process of getting myself a 2023 RE Interceptor 650 and I´ve been looking for some customization itens on the web. I really loved your LED front light. would you please share with me where did you buy it at ? Thanks

Gonna try this on my bike when i get the chance haha

Again, a great video. Perfect for me. Thank you.

My first video of yours. Love it. I'm a beginner and I found this very supportive and understanding. Thank you. By the way, why "reluctant?" Also, I have almost the same bike (and color). ST250 Type-E with a kickstart! 💕

thank you i failed my test first try but as never rode a bike this video did help me soooooooooo much with the stalling so much that it helped me pass when i used this trick :)

i find the 650 interceptor very unstable at speeds above 80km/h im not sure if this is the bike fault or me because im a new rider. do you find the same? there is just so much wind buffeting at those speeds it doesnt feel comfortable at all

Love the trilogy v7 reviews. Thank you.

This was my exact problem my first week or so on a bike. I'm in the US and did the MSF basic rider course before getting my first bike and they focus heavily on the clutch and friction zone when teaching you how to get moving with out really explaining the throttle aspect of it at all. I was trying to takeoff with just the friction zone of the clutch and not using any throttle until I felt the bike start to go. Once I realized I could add throttle much sooner as I'm letting out the clutch, I started stalling way less often. Also helped a lot with low speed maneuvering.

It does sound like you shifted down a gear too many leave it in a higher gear use the low down torque. This helps with snatch throttle
