Thanks. The clean up time has more in love with the Black than anything lol! Put down 356 miles yesterday on a large loop around the area and the back of the dragon in Va
@@JTSouthernfried - I bet that looks killer. I had a Vmax with drag bars, forward controls and a chin spoiler and it completed that bike too. Your Stryker looks way better though.
notroexpress407 Thank you🤙🏼 I love these bikes! I haven’t found anything else I’d rather ride. The black one is slick 🤘🏻 does it have the blue accent on the tank?
@@JTSouthernfried i just looked at the indian scout bobber, your right , that bike is awesome to , im glad they went with that big front tire, we must have the same taste 👌✌
Dig the cowl in that color, their a fkn great bike lots of tork and more fun then you can poke a stick at. Great video from a fellow Stryker rider from Australia 🇦🇺 😎
Thanks so much! This was my first UA-cam video. I’ve had in mind to do an updated version since I’ve done more to it since then. And learned a lot about editing lol
Hey, I'm looking for a beginner bike and went to all the shops nearby and could not find anything that fit me. I'm 6'3 / 6,4 (in between ish) and weight about 300 lbs. I'm 20 years old and looking for a first bike. There is a 2016 Yamaha Stryker with 2000km for sale near me. Would the bike be a good fit. Are parts easier to find. Is it reliable. Will I make the bike look like a grom? Thanks
+Rogue Exploration 😎🙏🏻Thanks so much. I love this machine! Putting together an updated walk around and modification video. Keep an eye out, it should be out later this week.
Sweet looking bike! Really like the upward sweep of the design. is it riding down the road, or lifting off like a rocket? Does the wide back tire have any effect on leaning or counter-steering? 9000 miles a year is a lot. I average about 6K.
Scooterwolf's Motovlog the wider back tire definitely handles differently and the fact it’s a low profile tire effects it as well. It took some getting used to for sure but I love it😎as far as counter steering it handles great and there has been a time or two that I think that wider tire gas saved my bacon but I’m sure someone would disagree. Thanks for watching 🤙🏻
@@JTSouthernfried when I first saw it I thought you were darksiding with a car tire, but then I heard you describe it. I'd imagine it gives you more confidence in a lot of riding conditions too.
Kristopher Harris Pace I just rolled over 23k on mine. Never have had an issue. Only changed oil and tires and she just keeps rolling strong. 😎🤘🏻congrats on the new wheels bro! You’re gonna love it!
Ok I'm looking to get the most out of my stryker I will be bracket racing it next summer. Power commander or just do ivans. Open air filter or a hypercharger type intake? Any ideas to get the most bang in the straight away with the 1300? Anyone throw ideas out. Port and polish throttle body?
Do you still own that bike ? I just bought a 2011 Stryker and I LOVE it. Hands down the best bike I've ever owned, and to be fair I haven't owned a bike in 20 years, but I've owned all the Honda Interceptors, CB750, Harley Sportster 1000 AMF, and others I don't remember. Granted the Stryker is the newest vehicle I've EVER owned, so it's a little not fair, but the Stryker rules.
Congratulations! It is a great machine. But sadly I don't have that one anymore. And I miss the hell out of it. I was actually looking at one half way across the country a few days ago lol. If you have any questions about modifications to though let me know. 🤙🏼😎
@@JTSouthernfried Thank you , bro. I don't have any questions now because I don't know enough, yet. When I have more seat time and possible questions arise then I will definitely ask you your advice based on your experience. I LOVE your air cleaner look, for example.
@@michaelb.42112 the kuryaken velociter air cleaner is awesome on that bike! It works so well and opens up the view of the motor more👌🏼. I have other videos on the bike scattered on the channel. Ride safe bro👊🏼

It would be a good fit for you. It is the most reliable bike I've ever had. Super easy to ride. Just change the oil every 4K and you won't have any issues or regrets.
Tyler Thrash They do give a boost in power and torque but for half the price you can send the factory ecu unit to Ivan’s Performance for programming and get same performance as replacing both the intake and power commander. Here’s a link to their website. www.ivansperformanceproducts.com/
I still got my Stryker, just a couple hundred over 18,000 now. Only thing I wish I could resolve is the wind. Got the Memphis Shades Bullet Fairing and it kept th wind off my chest but pushed it all on my helmet and was torture with the helmet buffeting. Riding it now with no front sheild and it's a little bit better but longer rides are harder on my helmet Dbest1a sent me over to your UA-cam.
Fct 8306 On Two Wheels the bullet cowl on mine keeps it off of my chest but it does catch the top of my helmet some. I'm a little shorter so it's not too terrible on me but I definitely felt it on my trip to Sturgis. What kind of helmet are you wearing?
@@JTSouthernfried I have a full face AGV K3 SV Helmet that fits properly unlike the first helmet I held on to for way too long and was loose as all heck.
@@FCT8306onTwoWheels I think the best solution is foam ear plugs. I hate windshields, they spoil the look of the bike. I even removed cowl for my stryker, if it is really unbearable then i may put it back.
@@santoohappy I hear you. Im all for the foam ear plugs and will not ride without them if possible. I got a deflector sheild for my bike already and its amazing, rode to Vermont and the level of fatigue was so much less than if i was without it. How it looks, definitely not as important to me as how it functions nowadays. Just wish the windscreen was a little taller as it has a two or three inch gap above the headlight
Trevor Jensen Did you keep the stock air intake? When I put mine on I also changed the intake and had the power commander and auto tuner computer put in it.
Trevor Jensen Will it not start up at all? It actually could be a problem with you O2 sensor in the new pipes. Make sure that they are installed and working properly
I changed the intake as well and checked the 02 sensor. The only thing I didn't add that you did was the auto tuner. It starts up fine and will run for about 3 to 5 miles then die. Then if you wait a few minutes it starts back up and will ride perfect for another 3 to 5 miles then die. My shop and Yamaha cant figure it out so I am looking outside for opinions.
Trevor Jensen that’s the first time I’ve heard of anyone having this issue. Let me forward this to another guy I know and see if he has any input. I’ll let you know soon as I hear back from him.
Chance Hildebrand Each year they made a special edition with what they call the bullet cowl edition which includes the windshield, the blacked out motor, and a special paint color with painted graphics. The green is the 2015 version. They changed the color and graphics each year also for bullet cowl package.
JMO of course, but Yamaha and Suzuki could learn a thing or two about graphics and how to use them in the cruiser/chopper class of bike. LESS IS MORE!! I don't want to see big 80 numbers on the side of the bike. I don't want to see names like BOLT or BOULEVARD or some silly stuff like that. If you want to put some name on it...do it subtlety and that applies to the manufacturers name as well. From the big four of Japanese makers, Honda probably does it best with the Fury model. Less is more and you almost have to look for for the makers name. Again, JMO.
Bad ass , I just bought one sat can’t wait to get it
That is a sharp bike JT. I’m not much of a green bike guy but your bike looks sweeeet. Nice upgrades man. 👍✌🏻
Can see why you love it! And impressive you have that many miles on that bike in a year 👍👏
