I have a big cut and a lot of bruising on my right hand. I still have to ride and this is how I do it. Take it slow, Use your rear break and engine breaking mostly. Stay away from aggressive riding. If you can't ride, take a few days, no need to make your hand worse. Enjoy riding!!!

      10 out of 10 beginner would be something in the 300cc range. Ninja 300, R3 or similar. But I would caution against those as you may outgrow those sooner rather then later. A 500 or 600 is a bit more for a beginner to learn on but they aren't bad for learning at all. Just be careful and go slow with it.

    Great video, i actually have the same bike. Unfortunately i had to do a motor swap and at the last steps of getting it all back togethor ive forgotten where a few minor things go. Was hoping you could take a look at yours and help me out. . Whats in question is the 4 plugs that comes out of the back "closest to the front" under the air box connected to the bottom of where the injectors go into .. they have hard plastic plugs covering the tube on each.. second the hoes next to the engine sensor and the thermostat ... and lastly there is 3 tubes on the right side of the radiator where i only can find 2 hoses to fill thoes spots. . It might be a lot to ask but really hoping you could help me out. Thanks.

    • @theastronautbiker7387
      @theastronautbiker7387 4 роки тому

      There is a screw on the throttle cable right off the right hand grip. You can adjust the tension from there and even get it to idle higher. As for a change to the engine itself I am not sure. But 800 to 1000 rpms is about what mine idles at after it's been warm.

    Great motorcycle, I agree. Great BEGINNER motorcycle? Not with all that plastic. Beginners need something that is droppable without causing hundreds of bucks' worth of damage. When I driveway dropped my SV650, I scratched the bar end and bent the handlebar. That's it. You're wrong about ear plugs. Your hearing adjusts and you can hear everything you need to hear, but the wind blast won't deafen you. Give them an honest try; it'll save your hearing when you're an old man. I'm amazed that I went my first year riding without plugs. I'd never go back, even with good wind protection. (I had a Concours and an FJR)

    • @theastronautbiker7387
      @theastronautbiker7387 6 років тому

      Jeremy D Thank you for your input. I find it you put some frame sliders on the plastics wont scratch from a drop. Yes I've dropped it and it's been fine. Personally I already have hearing loss so I try to save what I can when I can. Has a great forgiving power band and is cheaper on insurance for a 600cc which is why I reccomend it.
