My favorite bikes of ALL TIME are the Honda VTX 1300, and the Suzuki GSXR-1000. This is where I share my experience and tips on maintenance jobs, repairs & mods… tests & reviews, and the riding… all while trying to stay out of trouble with the millicents and the Mrs.
I started on mini-bikes at age 6, moved on to dirt bikes at age 12, and street bikes at age 16, and I love all bikes, from SuperSports to dirt bikes, and I look forward to bringing more bikes into the stable! Stay tuned 👍🏻

I hate bugs.... Can't imagine a bird.
I hear you man, I’ve had numerous encounters with birds and bugs. Big juicy ones that break stuff 😅
😂 great video idea.
Thanks, it was fun to make, glad you liked it!
Incredible difference.
Yes I’m pleasantly surprised at how good a slip-on can sound. Proper sound check coming soon 😎👍🏻
I have one of these and love it. I also have a scout and road glide, but love this scooter.
Congrats on some fine bikes, I “borrow” the scoot often, huge fun factor 🤩
Do you fill the filter up with oil half way ?
I didn’t in this video, BUT I do now. Until I saw Motor Oil Geek’s video about it, I didn’t realize that it could be kind of important
My 2013 is still going strong. Great scoot.
@@howleh that’s awesome, and I’m not at all surprised, the Suzuki build quality just seems to hit different 😎👍🏻
I have the Cobra Boulevard Slashcut Slip On Mufflers on my 2008 Honda VTX 1300R. They're quiet at idle & low throttle but get loud when I open the throttle.
@@kevinmarshall5758 Sounds like a great option 😎👍🏻
Only thing I would suggest upgrading right away on these is the brake disks they are very thin and warp in no time, some thicker brembo disks are available for the 200
Thanks for the input, the rotor does seem to need a gym membership ;)
Do you still have the stock headers?
Sort of… these are modified stock headers, the original stock headers (cat still intact) I have in storage 😎👍🏻
Honda manual says fill on kickstand. Fill plug sets level.
Nice!!
Thanks for the feedback, I will do a proper full sound check soon 😎👍🏻
Got this exhaust since new in 07. Love this bike and the sound.
@@jeffreykweller8825 That’s amazing, great choice 😎👍🏻. Any other mods, and how many miles now?
Just wanted to say that we both have the same black/yellow GSXR and black VTXc 😂
@@m477h3 you got good taste in bikes bro 😎👍🏻
@ likewise 👍🏼
Hi buddy, is the oil filter for one time used? Can we reuse back after clean?
Hi, good question! According to the manual for this bike, the first 600-mile service calls for filter change with the oil, after that it’s every other oil change for the filter (although I change the filter every oil change)
wow. this one sounds better than the V&H I have. Beautiful sound. I had a smile when you turned that bike on.
@@farooqkhan3729 Thanks for the feedback, glad you liked the video! I must say I also love the sound of the V&H pipes 😎👍🏻
Sounds great, should look into those exhausts
Thanks, they are a nice addition 😎👍🏻
Walnuts
😂😂😂😂👍🏻
First ?
😂
You have no idea how bad it threw me off seeing this ive lived in winchester my entire life nice to see someone posting some stuff around here
@@candidmetal Thanks for the feedback my friend. A lot of interesting things in Winchester😎✌️
.103 Mach! Thanks for the video!
😂 you’re welcome! Thanks for the Mach speed breakdown✌️
Your in Winchester Virginia
@@charlesdiehr5145 Yes! Home sweet home 😎👍🏻
Rip it up!! Vtx !!
I'm too hopeful for a secret upgrade to make the baby fly faster
I need to get to Alameda to collect the photons from the nuclear wessels… stay tuned 😎👍🏻
That was a fun ride.
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it my friend 😎🤙
Great video, thanks for making it! I enjoyed it!!I’ve also owned the 650 and 400 and believe it or not, this is my favorite of the three.
@@richvogel6902 Glad you enjoyed it! It’s an incredible little machine for sure 😎👍🏻
That’s some good sound!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it 😎👍🏻
When you want to go fast and not deal with any shit - GSXR 1000. Very happy with mine as well, just needs a flash to get that 100% throttle above 12k
No headaches is GOOD 😎👍🏻 Can’t wait to feel the difference flashed
For all vtx owners, I recommend Vance and Hines exhaust, once you hear it you won't be sorry....
@@ascics4205 I love the sound of the v&h pipes too. I don’t think they make them new anymore for this bike 🤔
@vtxfan the honda fury is the vtx motor so I am sure you could order a set under that way...
@@ascics4205 good to know, thanks for the tip!
09 vtx 1300 c, Honda power!!!
GSX-R 1000 oil change is good... Apprilla oil change not good... Problem Solved. "I Love My GSX-R 😂..."
@@BadLander-d4q I wish the Aprilia would have been “oil change good”, because the rsv4 is one hell of a bike otherwise 💪😎
I do the same thing with foil when changing my bike oil
Saves a lot of cleanup time 😎👍🏻
Beautiful scenery, I’m jealous. That is a great 👍🏼 area for a really good ride, gotta be the best meditation 🧘♀️ ever! 🏍️
Every oil change wow that's crazy
Every other oil change 😎👍🏻
Hi thanks so much for the vid. Did you say a new crush washer when putting the oil drain bolt back on?
@@Srt597 Thanks so much for the question, yes on the crush washer, I didn’t get it on video though. I need to do a video of the washer removal process in itself, it’s a little tricky 😎👍🏻
@@vtxfan can I use any like sold at Orielys?
I use Suzuki OEM. It’s part number 09168-14004
Your right. I couldn’t get the wash off so I just reinstalled the bolt w old one on. Appreciate you responding
I welded a washer that filled about 30 - 40% of the space to front of baffle on VTX 1800. Really liked it.
Now I have a 1300 that came with Cobras, Baffles are in there, still too loud 🔥 Brother says I have to leave it for safety 😁
@Dastardly_X yeah you know what they say about loud pipes 😎👍🏻
Thanks for the tip! Might try it as an experiment 😍🤙
It's like a Harley except when it goes past you say "nice" instead of "wanker" lol.
😂
Sounds wicked.
Thanks, glad you like it 👍🏻
Cobra makes the SOUND!
I totally agree, really happy with this system so far
The popping could be from a lean fuel mixture, but that would be for a carburetor, and not EFI. Now the search for the perfect map... Take care, ride safe.
@@PaulsMotoZen Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. The AIS (pair valve) is still intact and working, I think the cat made it so it couldn’t be heard. I kinda like that sound, and a new map is coming soon. Stay tuned 😎🤙
Very nice, best sound,.
Thanks for the comment , glad you liked it 😎👍🏻
Awe it's an awesome bike my most favourite ❤❤I have a gsx s 750 K5
That’s a great year for a great bike 😍
@@vtxfan yes bro 😭I know what ya mean
Also, what are your favorite gloves for warm weather or is it the same glove? Thanks again. 👍
@@lawv.8424 I’m using Alpinestars right now, but I use different brands. I use heated gloves in winter 🥶
Such a great sound.. Would you advise against buying used pipes?? Getting the bike at such a steal it's better to buy new pipes right?? My cousin told me to check ebay but I'm skeptical. Rookie question.. And thanks..
@@lawv.8424 It depends on condition of the pipes. And if they fit your specific application. If I knew they fit, and could see they’re in good condition, I wouldn’t be against used, especially if you get a good deal 👍🏻
@@vtxfan Thanks for the reply and I like the look of the v&h but the sound of those cobras you have is great, I'll go that route. You like Alpinestars for gloves? Thanks again and keep Rocking*
@lawv.8424 yeah the Alpinestars gloves are great for warm weather and they are holding up well 👍🏻
@@vtxfan which Alpinestars are your favorites?? Looking at the copper ones but I just want something I know will protect and not blister my knuckles. Thanks again I do appreciate the feedback. As I'm definitely going to pull the trigger on this vtx this week for sure. 👍
@@lawv.8424 I got these over a year ago, I don’t remember what model they are, but I remember they were about $70
Just subscribed, good stuff.. Looking at a '05 vtx 1300 for a steal but as a 1st bike I'm hesitant.. Sat on a Harley Sportster iron 883 and a 1200 sportster classic but they felt small and uncomfortable in comparison, you think the 1300 is a bit much for a 1st bike? Did my msf and had a dirtbike 20 yrs ago. 😂. Thanks and keep rocking.
@@lawv.8424 Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. I think it’s a good first bike if you’re a bigger rider (I’m ~6’2” and 225). It’s a heavy bike but the cg is low, as is the seat. It’s got enough torque to be a handful, but most likely not enough to get away from you 😎👍🏻
@@vtxfan Thanks for the reply, hoping to get it this coming week. I'll be on your channel for sure!! 👍
New to the channel, just subscribed.. Close to pulling the trigger on an '05 vtx 1300. 1st motorcycle so I'm a bit nervous but it's a great deal. Sat on an 883 and it felt way to small for me but the 1300 seems a bit
Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it, I appreciate the feedback 😎👍🏻
What the length of these baffles and the diameter of the front and the rear baffles?
Thanks for the question, the baffles that come standard in these pipes are 10 and 1/4” in length; diameter is 2 and 1/8” 👍🏻
Never got that with my shadow… lol
That little clip for the dealer mode was just a bent piece of metal like a paper clip ???
@@elithegreat6463 yeah it was a scrap piece of stripped wire, but I have used a piece of paper clip before (need to strip off any plastic coating if it’s on there to make good contact) 😎👍🏻
I'm more os a Suzuki guy, but compared to how easy oil changes are on Kawasaki's without removing any fairings,,why cant all Bikes be as easy.
Yeah, they all should design these with serviceability in mind, but I guess since this bike was designed before 2017 that wasn’t a priority. Hopefully we’ll get something entirely new for 2026🤞
