Yamaha XSR900 Night Cruise | Komodo Cruisin' After Hours Ride
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 гру 2024
- The city lights blur as Komodo and I ride through the calm of the night, the hum of the engine, and the cool air carrying away the stress of the day. This is the best way to unwind - just me, Komodo, and the open road.
Join me on a peaceful night cruise as I ride back from work, weaving through quiet streets and lit highways. The white and orange glow of Komodo shines under the streetlights as we embrace the beauty of riding at night.

‼️ That was ….strangely ‼️
Perfect
🙏🍩 Love from Scotland 🍩🙏
Are you rocking a Quadlock phone mount/holder?
I will be living in your channel until the weather here in Sweden allows me to wride.
Received images of the bike from the dealer yesterday and it is ready for pickup. But we have snow, ice, and raing right now hindering me from picking it up, as I mentioned in a comment below your other video. 😆
So I'm will be wriding through your clips. 🤗❤
Ahh, man, thank you. I appreciate that 🙏🏽 I can't wait for you to get your bike so you can experience how amazing this bike is. So I do have a Quadlock setup, and I love it. I actually recommend it, especially with the vibration damper on it. It's cold here, probably not Sweden cold, though 😅. In that video, I believe I was wearing 3 layers, and it was in the 30°F I think around 0°C for you, correct? Does the dealer offer shipping to your house?
@ Currently its around the 30F, but we have had lots of 14°F to 19°F with snow and ice. So they throw a bunch of gravel and salt on the roads. Which is very bad for both bike riding and the bike. The Dealer is fairly close, and they have offered to park it for me in their storage area so that I can pick it up as soon as the weather changes. I will for sure get the Quadlock now with that feedback from you. The placement looks perfect. I had the USB-charger port installed on mine, if I would to go for a long weekend trip and needed it, they basically through it in for free since it was Black Friday including some other stuff. Thanks for the videos and your reply’s. It really makes my bike buy even more fun 👌🏻😊
@Pouya82 Oh yes, I would be scared to ride like that under those conditions for sure. It's awesome you got your charger, too. I am waiting to order the heated grips because I want to keep riding in the winter, but they're on backorder order. I just have to order them once they are available. Thank you for your comments and questions, if you ever have anymore questions please feel free to ask
@ I had the heated grips added to mine, and the radiator grill among other things. Thank you for the content.
@Pouya82 whenever you get those heated grips, please let me know how they are. Thank you for watching. I'll keep more content coming soon
nicest looking naked bike these days... be safe, have fun.
thought i would mention in case you're not aware: if your bike has an evap system, filling the tank like that may not be optimal for the vape canister (overfill); check the manual, certain japanese bikes warn against overfilling for that reason.
@@duroxkilo oh okay cool thanks for the tip. I will have to look in the manual now since you brought it up. How do you recommend i fill?
@@KomodoCruisin i believe the nozzle needs to be inserted deeper into the tank so that it stops the fueling sooner.
theoretically pump nozzles should respect a certain size to ensure compatibility w/ most fuel tanks max capacity but in occasionally some pumps don't seem to do that.. (on my bikes i have a mental picture of max fuel level line in case i encounter an odd or defective nozzle.)
anyways, i don't think overfilling here and there harms anything (as there should be a liquid separator) but doing so regularly is not optimal for the evap system. there are solenoids and compartments that are meant to operate w/ 'gas vapors' not liquid..
if this is your first bike, i do encourage you to read the manual periodically for the first years. nothing beats good habits such as checking (and logging) tire pressure, battery voltage, cable plays, etc. manuals also contain guidelines such as not racing a cold engine or when in neutral, maintenance intervals such as checking chain tension, spark plug gaps -when replacing, and all sorts of things directly from the ppl who designed and build the machines.
japanese bikes are very well built but combined w/ proper maintenance they last forever. i have engines that went around the globe multiple times miles wise w/ virtually no wear: still measure factory cylinder compression and fuel consumption...
one thing i'd also mention is about washing the bike w/ a pressure washer: do not insist on the bushings, pivots, bearings, switches areas. it's relatively easy to bypass the seals and introduce water in places it has absolutely no business of being. if the pressure jet is too powerful for your hand it is too powerful for a seal (such as around the swing arm pivot, wheel axles, forks, steering bearings, signal switches, etc).
ps: liked what you did w/ the mirrors, i think is looks better like that...
@duroxkilo whoa that's awesome information. Thank you for your detailed technical expertise. I've been a car guy my whole life and rode in the past but never truly got into the technical side of motorcycles. I will read up more on the manual and take all this information into consideration because I love this bike and want to have it around forever. Are you a motorcycle technician, or did you study this in a school? That's awesome, man. I love the comment 🙏🏽🔥👍🏽
@@KomodoCruisin alright :)...
no, just an old hobby and a fam w/ a few generations of decent mechanics.
practicing is the best investment in the safety and longevity of your bike and your riding. watching tutorials and reading riding tips is great but the body doesn't understand english or pictures, only repetitions.. :)
i have another tip since you seem to really enjoy that bike: bulletproofing the output shaft splines. a moly based lube should be used between the front chain sprocket and the countershaft splines. the interface should have zero play; once play develops the process can't be stopped and wear accelerates... some makes and models are more prone to this issue and there are plenty or riders who find about it a bit too late. bikes still work plenty of miles w/ this sort of wear but why not make sure minimal wear occurs?
----------
the torque of an engine is not a constant force but a series of pulses, or shocks as each piston takes turns in pushing down generating torque... (yes things are balanced and there are counterweights to smooth things out but nevertheless, the power comes on in cycles not as a stream... drive components experience these pulses)
a certain type of wear called fretting occurs when two highly machined metal parts press against each other w/o a protective lubricant.
at the microscopic level surfaces flex, slide and grind off the tiny superficial imperfections, creating an abrasive powder called iron oxide. this abrasive is harder than the metals and also corrodes the metals. in essence fretting is a combination of mechanical and chemical wear.
molybdenum disulfide (moly) virtually eliminates this sort of wear as a layer of flat moly flakes forms between the contact surfaces, similar to how oil protects against wear the internals of an engine and transmission by keeping metals from touching... moly is resistant to huge temps and pressure, it's the preferred anti-fretting agent for heavy machinery w/ dry gears.
if you search "front sprocket fretting" there are thousands of pics and forum pages of ppl trying to 'fix' it. when you see a red powder on a sprocket, that's the iron oxide from fretting, it's not rust which is a specific form of iron oxide... some manufacturers call for the use of moly on shaft splines and hub gears (for bikes w/ shaft drives) but not all. honda used to sell a special grease w/ like 60% moly for their shaft cruisers (moly paste, same as moly anti-seize lube) but these days ppl use all kinds of moly lubes, even bearing lubes w/
@duroxkilo oh man, don't scare me now 😳 hahha I have much to learn. it seems like 😅 did you go to school for this.
