A really good mod is make sure you are not over weight, spending 2k on new wheels is great but you could loose 40lbs and save 2k
although you are right, unsprung rotational mass is way more than that... if you ride a bycicle you wil notice that difference!
@@francismeira7571 same goes for small cars like miatas buying the wrong tires makes the car feel like a boat around corners and makes steering more heavy
Not sure but Carbon fibre wheels are about 2k-4k I believe depending on where you live so will be even more...
Do both
Spend less money on food as well. More fuel for the road!
1 simple thing that youtubers don't do, put average prices in video.
Because price changes
@@Blackflag.actual AVERAGE, and if they do it's not much. also everyone knows that the cost for his bike is not going to be the same as mine. also, also if the video is "sponsered" the price of products is usually not in the video
if every post on youtube had to be spot on with the content 300 million "trailer breakdown" and "ending explained" channels would have to go.
cheers
@@TheMuzzmanCometh yeah I guess
One thing I noticed on my vids, if I ever mention price of an item in my country, all I get is people telling me how much it is in their country and therefore somehow my video is wrong. Lol. It's frustrating.
@@Englishbikerdan i can imagine that is beyond frustrating, however cost does help give credence that you are a real person (and want to help riders) and not a paid shill. i will have to check out your channel.
Carbon fibre wheels? Seriously? They cost more than most of our bikes
Also not road legal in a lot of countries...

If you take a good dump that should be good for ten pounds.
Best mod; wear clothing with armor. My buddy came off at 70mph, slid down the gravel off the side of the road on his arm. A few reconstructions, nerve, bone and skin grafts later and they took his right arm off. All he needed was to have worn a motorcycle jacket.
that's not a mod but a great idea anyway.

That sand appropriate boots or footwear. Kevlar/armored boots saved my left foot and ankle. When I worked ERs the preventive injuries and deaths from poor protection is massive.
Exactly...we call people like that squids. Remember ATGATT- All the gear ALL the time. I see so many american bikers,on youtube, in shorts and tees 😨 even wearing flops...all it says to me is they havent come off yet and theres only 2 types of biker. Those who have come off and those that will.

Nice
Since wheels are rotating, it means they create a gyroscopic effect. A gyroscopic effect is what makes it difficult to twist and turn a rotating object (also one of the reasons why bikes become more stable at higher speeds). Now, the more rotating weight, the higher the gyroscopic effect is. Changing to carbon wheels shaves off so much rotating mass, and thus exponentially decreasing the gyroscopic effect which makes it exponentially easier to lean your bike into a corner, as well as get it back up and flick it into the opposite direction. If you just shave regular weight off of a bike, all you do is change the mass of the body that moves, but it has no effect on the gyroscopic counteraction that the wheels create. That's why it makes such a huge difference, and why people invest in carbon as well as forged aluminium wheels etc. It also means acceleration and braking is increased since you don't have to spin up as much weight - but the greatest difference happens in the cornering ability of the bike for sure - as well as the unsprung mass itself helps with braking and handling bumps and all maneuvers that have an impact on the shock and forks (which is almost everything you do on the bike). An expensive mod for sure, but quite possibly the most rewarding mod out of the box that exists.
This should have been titled- Top 5 Motorcycle Mods that you can't do because you're BROKE AF😂
$30 throttle tube, $200 dash cam, $300 DynoTune, $250 Chain adjusters. Most people spend like $400 on a slip on exhaust so they could probably afford the other stuff, minus the CF wheels of course lol
@@HeroRR That was just a joke, thanks for the reply though!♥️♥️
@@HeroRR $2000 for a full system exhaust LMAO
@@ronin2981 Lol yeah for new bikes, funny side note my RC51 Sato SLIP ON exhaust is worth $1,500 in the USED MARKET. Crazy lol
@@HeroRR but you can't pay the satisfaction you get from it.
Best mod ever: wear a good protective suit
Yeah, skin grafts are a dumb idea.
ATGATT = All The Gear All The Time
Haha... so... funny... ?
That's not a mod
blue falcon , maybe not, but it’s money better spent 😉
5:55 I actually did the opposite - "slow turn throttle" - throttle precision is way more important than the speed of cranking the thing.
Seriously. I heard that and thought "damn, my throttle it touchy and jerky enough as it is". Imagine riding in traffic or past a cop with a throttle that you barely breathe on and it's accidentally WOT. No thanks...
I've been looking for something like that for a stunt bike. Any chance you remember where you got it or what it's called?
@@SquidWithGear I just ground the tube with a file/sand paper. It's googled by "adjustable throttle tube".
Bonus mods?
Gotta hit that 10 minute video.
I can hear and see exactly what type of biker you represent
There's so many missing real mods from this list. How about gel padded seat, clip-ons, lowered pegs, crash mushrooms, led animated indicators, double bubble?

@Zayd Noor lol!
Funnily enough, on youtube a topbox mod is more rare than carbon fiber wheels.
LOL TRUE!
$30 steering damper and fork clamp to mount it. Smooths out steering vibrations that you have, and tank slappers.
Haven't ridden a bike with steering damper yet. Does it affect the flickability and low speed handling, or is it a gradual mechanic that only reacts when extreme movement occurs (such as vibrations or tank slapper as you say)?. I've considered getting one just to prevent potential tank slappers, but I don't wanna do it if it compromises the flickability and nimbleness of a bike in any way
Just leaving a comment here to get an answer as well
Where are you finding a $30 steering damper?
@@Real_MisterSir It depends on the Steering Stabilizer... not sure where one would get one for $30, I think he meant $300. Ohlins is the best steering stabilizer hands down. But they are pricey and can be difficult to mount. Scotts and GPR are cheaper and easier to mount, but not as good as Ohlins. Some bikes, such as my CBR600RR have OEM electronic Steering Dampers. The way these work is that they are basically OFF under 20 MPH but once you reach that speed where on counter steering matters the electronic stabilizer stiffens up. This gives you high speed stability, along with low speed ease of use. I'm not sure how the other ones really work as I have no personal experience owning one. My friend had one though... a scotts... and I found it difficult to move the bars at lower speeds compared to my bike. There was an adjustment knob on it though.
The only ones that fit my bike are like 400 :(
Find it difficult taking advice from a guy who’s willing to ride in a t-shirt.
Jake Gold every single time I see someone giving pointers or advice but aren’t ATGATT I pretty much immediately dismiss mostly f what they have or say. You aren’t qualified to give advice to anyone about anything if you don’t have the common sense God gave a leaf.
Plus I mean, having a quick turn throttle will “make your bike feel faster” and suggesting carbon fiber wheels implying they are even remotely safe for anything other than the track tells me this video is meant just to plug brands and the guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
@@Gkitchens1 Carbon fiber wheels are safe and legal for street use.
@@johnjacob688 you are half right. They are legal. They are not very forgiving of bumps or rough roads and will break much faster than any other type of motorcycle wheel. I do not consider them safe, and you won't change my mind.
Plus one on the Scott-oiler. It is brilliant. My previous bike (Series I Ducati Superlight, in semi race trim, Dynojetted and ridden HARD, sed occasionally for racing) had an Aluminium rear sprocket installed in 1999, and I did not touch the chain or its adjustment AT ALL (OK, OK, I had to during tire changes of course) for 25K kilometers. When I got rid of the bike in 2015 the new owner who lived across the street from me had it for another 4 years and never touched the chain either.
That 1999 chain was the last one I bought. My current bike (bought in 1994) got a new chain in 1995 and in 1998 and then it got a scott oiler and since then it never wore out a chain again...
It's frugal too: If I had to estimate a bottle of oil easily lasts somewhere in the neighbourhood of 50K if the oiler is properly adjusted.
Scott Oilers are THE thing to have if you ask me...
Sorry mate, but I have to disagree with your 6th mod "Scott oilers". :-( Todays bikes have O or X ring chains which means the rollers are sealed, so the only reason you would
oil the chain is to stop it going rusty on the outside. And if you don't have it set up right, you are throwing oil all over your rear tyre, "not a good idea"
I have a V Strom. "granted only the 650" but it's just coming up to 34,000 mls. on the original chain. I rest my case. Totally agree with the rest of the mods.
Thanks for the input! I never used one before but i heard some people raving about them. I heard there’s an adjuster you have to set extremely low and you want it on the outside so it doesn’t get on your tire.
That may be true, but the o-rings still need lubrication, friction is the horse powers worst enemy, and if u dont lubricate ur chain u'r o-rings will crumble. Beside that, the rollers inside the link are not protected with o-ring
I have used a Scottoiler extensively. I only replaced one chain in the 100,000+km I used it. It kept the chain in primo condition and made for one less thing to worry about.
One big benefit rarely mentioned is the reduction in friction over the long term. Notice how your bike rides smoother and rolls further after a chain lubing? The Scottoiler ALWAYS feels like that.
Downside, it can be messy and the oil needs to be fed to the rollers for best effect. Applying straight to the outer side of the rear sprocket worked best for me. Still got oil on the rear rim and some fine misting on the tyre but that never seemed to bother the tyre's traction.
From personal experience, great mod! Thoroughly recommended. Disappointed you recommend a product you've not used yourself though. There are other auto oilers out there...
@@tougerider1827 I bet It's only about 1in 10 or even less that keep there bike for 100.000kms. Look at used bike sales, how many 10 or 15 year old bikes with less then 5.000Kss on the clock, but if it works for you enough said.
You are absolutely correct about the feeling of the brakes after switching to steel braided brake lines. Less expansion of the lines means more positive braking feedback.
For those that don't regularly replace the brake fluid, just replacing the brake fluid will also significantly improve brake performance. I was surprised at what a difference it made after just a couple years after the previous change.
Good stuff HeroRR keep them coming. I like that they are short and simple
It’s only going to be about reasonable mods like carbon fiber wheels. You sir are a dope.
Been a "Harley Fanboy" all my life but recently opened my mind to new things and bought a Benelli 302s and I love the lighter sport bikes. Thank you man. I am learning a ton.
Missed a obvious one, getting suspension set up properly. Cost me £30 and made a big difference.
The video states mods that NOBODY does.

1) safety class for beginners
2) safety class for beginners
3) safety class for beginners
4) safety class for intermediate riders
5) safety class for intermediate riders
anything higher and that's when you're ready for these mods
Best comment on here! Been riding for twenty years and new riders fall prey to getting in over their heads all the time. Be safe and all riders can benefit from a safety course.
That and advanced rider courses and track time.
I understand what your saying about safety but that's common sense! At least I hope! These are mods for your bike! 🤘
100% this
These aren’t compulsory in your country?
Here in australia you need to pass basic and intermediate level courses to get to your full license to even ride a bigger bike (650 regulated and under only)
could you make video about 2 strokes ?
I already did! :) ua-cam.com/video/hBE3MJm-FJ8/v-deo.html
Some of these mods go back decades.
Some RD250LC / RD350LC / Suzuki GT250 X7 owners were replacing their heavy cast wheels with lighter spoked (wire) wheels for track racing and road because this saved a few pounds of unsprung weight, even lighter if they used alloy rims. Cast wheels are the heaviest wheels you can fit on any bike.
Scott oilers have been around since the 1970's, though oil bath and gaitered fully enclosed chains last the longest.
Dyno Tune has also been around since the 1970's though originally for cars. Same reasons as for bikes today, OEM settings are generic, never ideal.
I had braided brake hoses on my 1977 Suzuki GT550B. It gave a massive improvement to the effectiveness and feel of the front brake system. A very old school mod indeed.
Other simple mods are:
Filling all the cable feed in holes on the bike's Molex (the industry name for the multiple connector blocks) electric system with silicon sealant to prevent water rotting the wire in the connector terminal. If one lives in an area notorious for rain (Seattle, Wales, Manchester, etc.) it'll save much misery a few years down the road.
Tuning the front fork oil to suit the rider's weight. Lower weight oil if the rider is light, higher weight oil if the rider is heavy. If your bike nose dives easily when braking then the fork oil is too low a weight. Fork oil is also colour coded (5W is red, 20W is green, etc.). Fork oil can be mixed in ratios to give intermediate weights. There are tables for doing this. Racers do this.
I totally agree with the chain adjuster mod!! The bad thing is that for example, that would be hard to find for older models, like the cbr 954rr!!!
Scott oiler, almost had me off my bike when after using the correct oil for 4 months and periodically checking , one day came into a left hand bend and my back end slipped , I almost came off , I thought I had a puncture or blowout , but no the Scott oiler decided to throw out that much oil it went all round the edge of my tyre , and I can assure you any second hand bike I buy that’s fitted with one , it will be instantly removed and binned ,, cheers for the video , Shane uk 🇬🇧
Thank you for sharing your experience. Maybe it’s not a good mod afterall? I’m going to post a comment explaining to people to maybe take heed with that mod.
the problem is that the oil viscosity changes with temperature so the flow is almost immpossible to control accurately
I had a Scottoiler on a bike, and was very happy with it. I sold the bike and left the oiler on it, bad move.
I have pro oiler system. Doesnt matter what weather it is or what viscosity the oil is. Works like a dream.
To get the most out of your bike, you need to be a better rider.
Check out your insurer if you have permanently attached dash cams you may request a reduction in your premiums. If they don't tell them you will shop elsewhere.

HeroRR yes of course. Full throttle all the way 😁 I hope it fits alright though
Lighter wheels not as stable at speed are they? Just wondering about gyroscope effect.
I use calipers when adjusting my chain. Very practical for other things, too!
did carbon wheel before, whole bike got stolen
@@RockyDave yeah Ive used the bike for 2 years but right after i've changed the rim it immediately got stolen. rip

@@benjaminfranklyn604 If someone wants your bike regardless if its chained to something or not...they're going to get it.
Ever heard of a cordless angle grinder?
They make an alignment tool you put in your chain as you tighten is so it’s perfectly straight!
Hope you don't mind, shared on several Savannah, Ga pages.
Thank you so much! :)
The Re-Tune is a MUST DO if you change the exhaust and do an up-graded air filter. Whether you have a 'dyno-tune' of a full ECU Re-Flash... you WILL enjoy the difference! If you are using a Power Commander or Bazzaz, they have downloadable 'flashes' available for your specific applications -- by Brand, Model, Year, and even which other mods are included...
Carbon Fiber wheels are great, but you sure don't want them on your bike if you live in Kalifornia where the road conditions are getting to be third-world type of roads.
Best bang for buck: angled tirevalves
If you're putting on a new set of tires, spend another $20 and never dick around with gasstation compressors again
Absolutely correct! It's amazing how the OEMs still use straight tire valves on wheels that have 320mm rotors
I need to remember that when I get the new front tire installed in the near future..
I have installed Marchesini forged aluminum wheels, have gotten 75% of the weight saving with 50% of the cost; besides, as Gordon Murray just said when discussing his wheel choice on the upcoming T.50, when aluminum bends or cracks it poses no major issue, when carbon fiber fails it fails very hard and dangerously
I think the "Mods"; most of them, could improve the Bike & Riding experience!! But, one thing I will say is not everyone can afford Carbon Fiber Rims (BST or other Brands)!! I wish I could put both a Front & Rear BST set on my 2002 Honda CBR1100xx Super Blackbird! That would certainly improve the handling on my Blackbird..;-)
exhaust mods.....i'm glad someone said it.....
That "direct to the calipers feel" you got with braided steel brake lines is for real. Rubber brake lines will flex a bit when you apply braking pressure and your brakes may feel a bit spongy, but the braided steel lines will not do that so they feel more firm and connected to the brake calipers. You can really feel a big difference on cars/trucks when you swap to steel braided brake lines.
I think the thing he should have mentioned is that the stainless lines aren't necessarily any more than the OEM ones. I was surprised that the Venhill lines I've got coming were essentially the same price as the OEM ones that Kawasaki sells. Not to mention the fact that I was able to get them in red with black metal at the ends which should look a lot cooler.
From what I can tell, the rear brakes are somewhat debatable, some people like them and some people don't.
Adjusting suspension is a worthy one too.. and adjusting your controls. The amount of people who never touch either its crazy... its like getting in a new car from the dealer and never adjusting the seat.
Wurth dry chain lube works wonders, and if you fall off, wearing leathers saves loosing skin.
I miss he best upgrade I have ever made: Adjustable race foot pegs.
Better grip and better (after adjustment) foot position.
I would also include Öhlins dampers, but that may be a more "normal" upgrade, even if they cost more than the carbon wheels.
Invested considerable chunk of my hard earned in BST wheels for my road bikes , both are 2nd Gen models , ZX14R and Hayabusa . Yes , considerable expense , but for me , that investment is well worth it . I truly love the handling and acceleration benifets these ultralight wheels bring . Combined with correctly setup suspension , and even big cc sport tourers can carve very well . You don't even have to choose carbon , any set of lighter weight wheels will be beneficial to your ride . If you plan on keeping your ride long term , well even better , then the purchase outlay can be worth it .
Amen..Your the Man. .Can't ride your Ride till you understand Speed my Bro..Grave's are filling up faster these day's. Relax. .enjoy ur Ride..we aren't all VR47's
I don’t think you know what brake fade means.
3 more good ones i've personally done to my zzr600 that i absolutely recommend to anyone
Clock swap: I did it because i moved from uk to germany and needed km/h on my clock so i got a digital clock with cable input not only is it a lot more clear (the lettering on the analogue clock seems a bit small for me) but it looks cool at about 60% the size of the original so i've added 2 more clocks either side (temp since it wasnt on the main clock and voltage because reasons) £50 for all 3 so definately worth it thinking about setting up an arduino powered shift light since there is room for it too.
hydraulic clutch: so much smoother and because of the cylinder ratio its actually alot easier to pull now, probably not a problem for most people but because i have heavy springs it made things alot better for me so maybe more for cruisers, also it took all the cable roughness out and i dont worry about it snapping, i went with the really cheap ebay units which took some creative fitting just because of how my engine casing is but it will fit fine for pretty much any bike, the one downside for me was bleeding it was a pain in the neck and its stroke length seems to be only just long enough to disengage the clutch. all in for me was £40 (15 for hydraulic 10 for hose 15 for new levers) you need to get atleast a left lever with a cylinder on it for obvious reasons but vs the £300 all in one branded unit it's a no brainer.
steering damper: the only reason i got one is because it looked cool, i wanted a radial but realistically your only real option is a bar type. i would recommend getting a full adjustable since you can loosen it off to the point it basically does nothing and is just there for looks however mine is adjusted about halfway and it does make a small (good) difference when hitting crap in the road. mine was £20 without the bracket (the bracket alone is like £50 @_@) so i made the bracket myself
there 3 reasonably priced effective mods that will make a noticable difference without breaking the bank
Which steering damper did you buy?
@@gustav901 it was an unbranded one on ebay that was adjustable
Looks like you’re wheeling in my neck of the woods. I see the Sagamore, and Bourne bridges!!
The steel braided brake lines feel better because the rubber expands as you apply more brake pressure so it feels mushier and mushier. It's the same in a car
I have front and rear carbon wheels from bst. best mod ever
My 1st bike was a 2016 ZX-6R. Full 2 Brothers exhaust and tune. Then I put on integrated taillights, carbon fiber frame sliders, Yoshimura tail light kit, 1/6 throttle and a gas tank pad. For it only being a 636, that thing was fast and looked great in Matte Black. Those mods made a world of difference compared to a stock bike so don't be cheap.
Best mod that has the biggest payoff and the greatest value??
Take a track riding school....preferably 2 day course.
You are by far the wisest of men in the commentary. Most of the young roosters like to crow about bling and specs with less money left in their wallet to show for it.
Ex. Who needs a special chain adjuster? If you need to adjust your chain that often then you are not maintaining it properly or else the sprockets/chain are clearly end of life and could suddenly fail doing the same to the rider.
I have a dash cam system on my SV1000. There's a reassuring feeling that comes with it when riding.
Good video HeroRR. 👍
How much did you get it for ?
“Easy brought that everybody could do it”
“Carbon fibre wheels”
Bruh
I would put having the suspension done properly over getting carbon wheels. Same as having the bike tuned having the suspension done makes a huge difference.
Love the quick turn throttle... I have a 1/8th throttle on my gsxr 1000 turbo.... Its like riding a 2 stroke!
I hated mine. Might as well have an on/off switch for the throttle. Good for straight lines, but I promise you, you sacrificed your ability to corner with the quick turn throttle
Triumph Sprint 1050 Ist Rider here.
Many Triumph motorcycles come with an open ECU.
Means that you don't need a auto tune or Dyno shop. Just TuneECU software (freeware) and a PC with USB.
I have tuned a map myself and the bike runs a lot smoother now. The stock A/F Ratio was average at 13.8-14.2
Lowered that down to 12.12 - 12.85
More fuel injected...more actual power.
....cost of this modification ... $15 for for ECU to USB adaptor
Eliminate the original cat and either straight pipe it or get a high flow cat.
On my Triumph I went with a high flow cat to pass inspection but well worth it
$129
Change the sprocket on to either get more acceleration or better fuel economy.
Around $30 for a set.
I went more (theoretical) speed.
So my highway RPMs dropped.
Since engine speed is now less at 75mp/h then before I use less gas.
Acceleration speed has not decreased significantly for me to notice. Since I don't full throttle and clutch drop it...lol
Sure I might me slower then before but like I said I notice no difference. Maybe 1 second difference from 0-100mph...lol
Clean out the air and fuel filter.
Better yet get a air filter that allows more air. And a bad gas filter will not perform as it should and make the fuel pump work harder or even under heavy load the engine will hesitate because of lack of proper fuel being injected.
Get good oil and keep the oil filter fresh.
These friction on internal parts means more power (at least better running engine).
These might not all be mods per say but you can always these parts with better performing ones then stock
Show me an engine that has been run on open exhaust and air cleaner that has blown up for those exact mods. I do agree that a tune can make those mods more useful, or make a stock bike more engaging. But really, this caution is like putting stickers on a swing arm to go faster. Modern fuel injection, even without oxygen sensors, can accommodate for more airflow gain than any stage 1 bolt on can provide. More fluid throttle response is way more fun, no doubt, but engine damage?
A great mod, is replacing the Lead battery, with a Lithium one.
But Ultra/Super-Capacitors, maybe even lighter than Lithium batteries. But I only recommend them, if you use your motorcycle every day, because capacitors have a very high self discharge rate, meaning, after a few days of sitting, the voltage may drop too low, to crank your engine. But if you leave them connected to an external charger, or you run your bike every day, so it's charging system will keep them top up. Then the self-discharge shouldn't be a problem. Maybe even with the parasitic drain of that Scorpio Security system, and it's great that system tells you what the "battery" charge is. So you can use that, to monitor the capacitors.
Also. Capacitors have extremely low electrical resistance, compared to batteries, meaning, they can crank an engine quick & easily, and they charge very quickly. But Capacitors can't store the same amount of energy, as batteries, in the same size. So if you're used to using the battery, with the engine off, powering lights, a radio, or something. Then you will need more capacitors wired in parallel, then what can fit in the original battery space, to store the same amount of energy, as a battery.
With all this stated. Super\Ultra-Capacitors, fit very specific needs. If you can care for them, and weight-reduction really, really matters to you. Then a Super or Ultra-Capacitor pack, is the best option.
Wire them in series, to combine their voltage limits, for your charging system. And you can wire another set in Parallel, to have more capacity, if you want that.
Here's a video about them. Look for more videos about Capacitors replacing batteries, to learn how they work, and how to safely make & use a pack.
ua-cam.com/video/z3x_kYq3mHM/v-deo.html.
Oh! If you do make a pack for your motorcycle. I recommend putting it in a waterproof, sealed container, with all the spaces filled or coated with dielectric grease, to keep water away from the electrical connections of the pack. And use layers if heat-shrink, and other barriers to isolate the connections between the bike & pack.
Remember. Super & Ultra Capacitors have extremely low resistance, they can charge & discharge, very quickly....To say the sparks or shock will be horrendous, if you accidentally short circuit them...is an understatement...Be very careful with what touches what...
As a performance-oriented commuter, or delivery rider. I believe Caps are well worth the risks. Just don't be really retarded, stupid, or ignorant with them.
Magnum shielding for your brake lines & cables.
Yay old outro is back
For anyone wondering the thumbnail is by photographer Steve West @silverpistonphotography and the bike is called turbo Maximus, a turbo charged 200 horsepower Yamaha XJ built by Navy Veteran Derek Kimes @skylrk62 I know you probably just pulled up google images for a cool thumbnail but annoying to see my friends’ work being used without so much as a mention in the video
Genuinely enjoy the content you put out, but that kind of stuff really bothers me.
Now he knows so no reason not to mention it in the description..
Aftermarket seat is the best modification.
Don't fuel injected bikes change fuel ratios from an o2 sensor? The ecu should adapt to intake and exhaust mods, it won't run any leaner.
It changes it back to the factory lean condition... sooo you should still get a tune if u do mods... just like cars, and they have been fuel injected for years. Hahaha
@@aaronsanchezz True, my only point was that it doesn't run leaner.
A scottoiler will require more maintenance cleaning gunk off your precious carbon wheels.
wow wow wow, I wouldn't put a touring mod on my RC51, come on now!
Quick turn throttle sounds like a good way to crash. Turning the throttle to 100% on a stock bike isn't hard....
Scott oiler, chain tensioner? Belt drive is the future my friend. Braided line are lovely though. So much more feel.
What future do you live in with more inefficent power transfer?
@@gustav901 the future of low maintenance
Yes yes. Thats why all moto gp teams run belt drives and every powerfull bike comes with a belt. And its so reliable that its a must have in enduro bikes too.
Your RC51 right hand clip on. Just measure it as it does look closer to the tank than your left? It could be the camera angle, but it does look odd.
This should be titled: Everyone should do these mods because I like them and I am right
I had a 1/5th turn (72 degree) throttle on my 2004 ZX-10R and it was a "gas" (fun). I would recommend 1/5th turn for 1000cc sportbikes unless you are doing mostly straight line stuff, then 1/6th (60 degree) might be even more fun. Those 1/4 turn (90 degree) throttles are great for beginners and for twisties, but not so good for the average street rider. Plus it doesn't look as cool when you have to substantially change your arm position to hit full throttle.
5 mods I have and you don’t lol
I love those mod but financial burdens and insurance purpose has to stay stock bike
Stock for insurance? Wth?? Thats not ok. U live jn the uk or something?
@@aaronsanchezz, there are so much country's/states where the bike have to be stock.
Scottoiler's are messy, pointless contraptions for lazy bike owners imho, I removed the one the previous owner fitted to my bike. It was on a low setting, still oil all over the sprocket that I later found out was actually silver, not black, it was all over the wheel and swingarm too. You are also then spraying it all over the street when out riding, much more than otherwise.
Exhaust modifications don't have that great effect on the richness of the engine tune. Intake modifications affect your tune more by allowing more airflow into the engine prior to combustion. Exhaust is after combustion which has little to no effect to the fuel air mix. Better exhaust helps evacuate air better from the combustion chamber. Tuning the engine after an exhaust upgrade is helpful I agree. It will all you to change the detonation timing with the potential to make more power if you change the fuel to air ration and all the engine to run smoother.
I’ll watch these average joes do a fucking video every now and then and just laugh.... that god I didn’t learn from UA-cam when I started
Thank you for this tutorial! I plan on buying a bike and this video was really helpful! I wasnt familiar with your channel, but I subscribed now! :)
none of what you said makes the bike faster or better. You need to learn how to ride bike fast.
Harley rider: "Wadda 'bout pipes! Boy didn't mention nutin about pipes. Pipes is whut saves ya.
I miss my 05 RC. I had Marchesini wheels and the black and gold was beautiful. Love you Sato exhaust.
@HeroRR Dude amazing video thank u for helping us newbie riders #brolove.....ur autro song is amazing Metric-Sick Muse but its nonething like the original
Who even uses front wheel
2 minutes out of my life OH MY GOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!! HALF AN HOUR AND I WANT TO GIVE UP LIFE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT AN IDIOTIC STATEMENT If you love bikes you love maintaining them
and if you dont then you risk your life or you have a massive wallet to pay someone else to do it this is total nonsense !!!!!!!!!!!!!
having a camera on all the time is a great idea *** ride safe ***
Can someone link me the thumbnail image? That bike is beautiful.

Best Mod I did on my old FJ was put progressive springs on the front. That transformed it!
Steel brake lines actually gives a better braking on your bike. This is for 2 main reason.
1) Brake oil will catch moisture during the time. Yes the brake system is isolated but not at 100% and moisture can pass through rubber lines. Steel brake lines will prevent this phenomenon.
2) If you are a track guy, steel brake lines will actually prevent your bike from braking less while you are riding. This happen because the braking oil has a x degree of boiling temperature, the hardest you brake, the more the fluid gets hotter. Within a few minutes (like 20) if you are a really fast rider who brakes a lot, your rubber brake lines will expand, giving you less brake power. If you add up the moisture that your bike cought during cold nights, you will literally have no brakes at all within 30 minutes (or less) of riding.
Modifications or just store-bought stuff ?
Better than stock tires. Steel braided brake lines. Good protective riding gear.
You made me really want those rims but at $3500-$4000 a set, they cost more than my vtr1000f
I have used Scottoilers on all my motorcycles - my 1999 modded ZRX1100 with 150+hp did 124,000klms on OEM chain before l changed it, adjusting chain tension required only when renewing rear tyre - l totally recommend - also fitted to my Husqvarna 650 adventure bike, keeps the chain clean
nice video and interesting ideas, but....
...where can I find a 18" carbon wheel foe my rd350r, without robbing a bank to get a custom build one...? I'm afraid carbon wheels cost more then the whole value of my beloved bike...and no way you can get a 17" conversion (legally) in my country...
BTW, I fitted braided lines and fast throttle some 15 years ago...they are well known by old sport-touring bikers...very useful, you're right.
Carbon wheels on US and UK roads is a nightmare. No give at all and a pothole could end the wheel... Dashcam... Borderline illegal in Germany. Personal privacy laws mean cam footage is inadmissible in court and I've heard police will not look at them despite contradicting their "opinion". Dyno... Is it necessary on EFI bikes? I took my Gsx1400 and the guy could offer nothing extra. No more torgue, power or economy.
