You're absolutely right. I mentioned that in the video for others. This bike has under 10k miles, so it's under the suggested interval for adjusting the valves.

@@alexdombi-weridetwo Good mileage for the year! Mine had 30k+ when I bought it, so I had to do the entire job.

@lonelyryder7441 Absolutely! I had to snag it as soon as I saw it posted for sale. Finding a low mile one in perfect condition is getting very hard now.

I have yet to get my hands on one for testing. Have you ridden a Greenger bike?

@@alexdombi-weridetwo I bought e2 for my kids

The hardest part is aligning the cover on install. You got this!

I'm fairly sure the 2025 will only have updated colorways.

Maybe spreading awareness of the park will drive more engagement, and it'll get back to that state. I can hope!

Thanks. It doesn't happen often, but Hurricane Beryl came up from the Gulf Coast around Houston and went north even in to Arkansas ;)

Hope it was helpful!

You're right in a car, but (most) motorcycles will get warmer as they idle, not cool down. Doing it this way keeps the fan on and helps to move air, even if it's small amounts, over the radiator and engine to dissipate some heat. Kawasaki even advises not to let a motorcycle idle for more than 5 minutes due to the increased risk to the engine from heat.

@@alexdombi-weridetwo yes i was refering to cars but alot of other engines follow this too

This would make sense if the engine temp would actually drop while idling. The fan, while only minimally, helps to move the heat. Maybe it's only in my head 🤷‍♂️

@@alexdombi-weridetwoIt does, you can see it happen with a car when idling at a light or fast food place. When that fans kicks on when it’s hot and running the needle for the temp moves a whole lot more than if I just left it off with fan running. It’s gotta circulate that nice cold coolant in place for the shitty hot coolant lol

You're right that the water pump isn't moving coolant with the engine off, but the fan does move some air across the radiator, albeit a small amount. When it's triple digit heat, I try to do what I can to keep my engine cool.

It's not necessary to do, just a little extra help with moving the air.

It's probably just in my head 😆

You're right about the coolant flow, but (most) bikes will increase in temperature when idling. The fan helps to move air and drop the fluid temp to below the trigger temperature. Maybe it's just in my head, though.

You're absolutely right. Here's a Google search result. Every bit of air movement helps. "Heat soak is a temperature change that happens after an engine is turned off, and it can damage engine components. It can be caused by a number of factors, including: High load, Lack of air movement under the hood, EGR, Turbocharging, and Air-conditioning system."

All tracks have a risk involved. It's sad to hear that a chopper needs to know the facility 😥

I replaced the fibers and steel plates. The kit I purchased from Amazon and is linked in the description 😉

You got this, and you rock motomom!

@@alexdombi-weridetwo I’m slowly learning 🤣🤣🤣

You're right. I was mistaken. They are 85 superminis

I'm not 100% certain, but believe they are the same 04-06 (maybe even 07). Cross referencing the OEM part with the ones listed as compatible matches indicates they are the same, but I would recommend you verify the part numbers match as well.

Flipping and switching the bars is an awesome and free ergonomic upgrade! Great tip. Thanks!

@alexdombi-weridetwo yep best mod I have done. I sit almost upright now. You have to drill and tap a hole for the brake fluid reservoir and a hole for the throttle locking pin but other then that it works great. Didn't even need to change the brake lines just had to undo the bracket near the front shocks to give it a bit more stretch. 😃👍💪

OEM clutches usually last a lot longer with proper adjustment and care. Hopefully, you have many more miles ahead.

The Versys 1000 is substantially more comfortable for commuting for me. Others in the comment section have said the 750 is perfectly fine for them. I did a video of the Versys 1000 last year (ua-cam.com/video/DMNmXkl3xS0/v-deo.html) and still feel it is one of my favorite bikes. Pricing is dependent on your location but around me I would expect to spend $6-8k USD for a used 2016 or older; around $9k for 2017-2019; and over $10k for 2020+. For new I would expect to pay $14-19k. Again- that's a rough estimate for my area of the Houston, Texas.

That's a great question that I wish I had more answers on myself.

Thats very interesting! What years did you have? I was under the impression the ergonomics and chassis were very similar within the same generations. Were they both oem suspension and parts?

The rubber piece on the foot peg itself is replaceable but there is not a serrated portion of the metal for traction. Under the rubber is smooth metal that I would not recommend using without the rubber. This is at least on the 2015 Versys, I can't speak for the newer generation.

@@alexdombi-weridetwo I just picked a 2021. I suspect it’s the same as yours.

@@maxsmith3335 You're probably right. Just FYI- I was referring to where the foot peg bracket mounts to the frame, there are rubber bushing there that can dry and crack. Enjoy your new ride and be safe out there!

Fair points for sure. My point is that I could buy a 2012 GSXR750 for half the price since they have not made any "updates."

Hi, thanks! It was purchased from Amazon. Here's a link: amzn.to/47tXIR6

That's a very broad question as each of these manufacturers has multiple engines, and some are better than others. In many cases, for the new models, the engines are all very durable and capable of many miles. No engine is perfect, though, and all require proper care to keep them as reliable as possible.

and Kymco was an early engine builder for Motorcycle, yes! You menitoned it <3, subscribed.

Reliability makes for a good motorcycle!

@@alexdombi-weridetwo absolutely! but my riding skill really wasnt present since id just gotten into motorcycling at the time. Kinda miss it.

Great question and it's awesome that he's wanting to learn! There is a beginner trail that is very simple to do that starts just between the lodge and day parking. From there I'd suggest trying the A trail and B trail that splits off from A. The entrance to those is just next to the beginner trail. There is also a small track called the Armadillo that is across the street that will be a great beginner track and will help boost confidence.

@@alexdombi-weridetwo I appreciate it so much, thank you for responding I can't wait to bring him to Durhamtown I'm just waiting to get a trailer to hall the dirt bikes and I'm also waiting for my helmet communicators to come in so I can communicate with him while he rides I will ride beside him so he can learn

I really can't wait this place looks really awesome

Have a blast!! When are you going? We'll be back out there next month

@@alexdombi-weridetwo hopefully at the by the end of next month👍, I live in Centerville Georgia when I saw this video I can't believe how great this place is set up can't wait

So many Texas neighborhoods look the same :D I'm in the Houston area, what about you?

@@alexdombi-weridetwo Dallas but this reminded me of my old neighborhood in the spring area 😅

😂🤣

Thanks- but as it was just a demo ride there are no manuals available and I was told this by the Kawasaki rep. My understanding is that the KQS (Kawasaki Quick Shifter) is available in both Up/Down and Up only configurations. Someone else commented that the downshift only works with the throttle entirely closed, which is not how a quick shifter should operate. Next time I am with a Kawi rep I will get clarification.

@@alexdombi-weridetwo i'owned several bikes with a qs and you always have to close the throttle when blipping or else you can block the rear

Did you keep the Hornet when you got the SV? I've not ridden the Hornet but have heard good things about them

@alexdombi-weridetwo of course. I bought the sv for 2nd bike.Sv is pure bike. 90s style no electronics v engine . Hornet is other bike. I wanted a retro style pure bike bit not retro like speed twin, v7 , rs. Something else. Sv is that I look for . Outdated but not outdated and always in time and style. I just booked. I wait for delivery the next 3 4 dates. Black with bronze frame and rims. Only this colour. Black and bronze. Timeless bike.

Close! But not quite

That's a lot of faith in the pocket!

i love your channel❤😅

They are both great bikes. The 8R has a lot more features and is much more comfortable for my body type and medical issues. It's also cheaper. BUT- the 8R is a parallel twin with much less horse power and torque than the 750. Both are track rideable but the 750 will feel zippier and more like a rocket. For me, I'd choose the 8R between the two. It's cheaper, has more tech features, is more comfortable, and still incredibly capable of being a fun commuter.

We didn't get to test much above 50-55 mph so I can't say about highway speeds. It is so much smoother than my Versys 650 though. Hopefully another viewer who owns one can comment about the buzziness at higher speeds.

I should try to get my hands on one to test as well. I have some experience with Lifan, who makes the KP, but not with that model specifically. Thanks for the tip.

@@alexdombi-weridetwo They're great bikes, honestly prefer it over the groms/z125s

Prefer it why? Obviously the price is a big reason to consider one, but what do you like more about it?

@@alexdombi-weridetwo they're faster (a little bit) than the groms and z125s. And yeah the price is a big factor. I honestly also love the styling of them, and the colors. I got a blue one and it's so sick, I just love looking at her. But it IS mainly the price, I don't see the point in spending so much more on a grom or z125, when you can get something of equal quilty for cheaper

Based on the commentators- the colored barriers were filled with water and then there was the metal fence. Thankfully we never had to test the integrity of the barriers. People were getting tire dust on them though.

​​@@alexdombi-weridetwoI was there, on the 360 zone at starbucks and hilton the truck actually did hit a barrier, luckily nobody was standing behind it though.

Oops! Did the barrier seem like it was actually filled with water and do a decent job of slowing the truck down?

@@alexdombi-weridetwo oh yeah I doubt it even moved a foot, even though it hit the barrier in the middle of a spin; the driver was probably knocked around more than the barrier lol

It's not common practice to stay in one gear while slowing down. Riders should use engine braking to slow in conjunction with the brakes, but as they shift to lower gears. The way neutral is found is a small notch in the shift star. In some bikes, that notch isn't prominent enough, and the rider needs a delicate touch between 1st and 2nd to locate it. Kawasaki has a proprietary function called "posi-neutral finder" that ensures if the engine is at idle you find neutral without fuss. The gear indicator has nothing to do with finding neutral other than a more obvious way to see what gear you're in.

Does the CF moto 2 year warranty not cover engine issues or do you mean you wish it were a longer warranty? Aren't the cam issues only on pre 2021 models of the 790/890? The fact there isn't an official recall is very concerning.

@@alexdombi-weridetwo I mean that the actually honor the warranty.

The CF Moto has 95 hp right? Less than the KTM so maybe not the cam problem ?

😂🤣

I also posted some clips of Aaron Colton on the motorcycle. It was a fun show for sure!

Check the motor mounts. That's the hardest thing to fake. The engine will also have "Honda" or something else on the case. You can also check the VIN for the bike to ensure it's a genuine Honda.

​@@alexdombi-weridetwo Thank you for the help and fast response. I saw other youtubers doing crazy things with them and just overall having a blast, made me wanna get one for my first bike

@Chicxulubs They really are a lot of fun, and I wish I rode my Z125 more, but space is at a premium in my garage right now. If you get one, please treat it as a motorcycle and not as a toy. You can still get seriously injured. Have fun and stay safe!

@@alexdombi-weridetwo Yes true, I do intend on driving safely with the first one. I live in a really small city with maybe only 2-3 active roads, so I'll generally be safe although I won't be doing anything crazy on my first one. When I get another afterwards I will be popping wheelies and so on after I've gained tons of experience with the bike. Thanks again.

No way! That's funny. There were so many people there 🤯

@@alexdombi-weridetwotrue I think there was about 80,000 people there
