- We all think we need to modify motorcycles and there are some very good reasons to do it too. But there, and many don’t realise this, great reasons why your stock motorcycle, without any changes, is already capable of delivering more than you can handle. In this episode of The PowerDrift Podcast, Shumi talks about his approach to this rather ticklish subject.

Shumi's Pearls of Wisdom.. Hands down practical and perfect..
I do agree that most of times Aux Lights are not needed and irritating especially when there is a nut shining his sun in your eyes.. But the stock bulbs can also be crap..
For the first night ride i had on my Z, i was almost running blind with the stock bulbs.. Changed it to LED's and all is good..
Opted for a engine guards instead of regular crash bars..
Increased the seat height slightly and am much more comfortable with the position it offers..
My one true gripe is the sponginess of the brakes.. Need ur advice, steel braided lines or a new master cylinder??
@@belsonkoshy7884 First chuck the DOT4 and go to 5.1. If that doesn’t work, braided lines. Still no? Change the pads to a more aggressive one. Still no? Master cylinder.
Thank you I never thought of modifying a sprocket that's a great idea ❤️
"Weight reduction is a great idea, and there's a better place to do it than the motorcycle." Haha, cracked me up. Shumi as always, with the facts.
:-D
Weight weanie... That's what we the cyclists call them...
Shumi's words are pure wisdom
🍻
Not the worthy of word "wisdom" These are insightful, period!
Words only , not accent

Apart from their passion and knowledge of automobiles, what makes PD stand out is that whenever they speak it feels like a conversation rather than just a bland and boring commentary.
What a compliment! Thank you Upamanyu!
Wow.. This is what a professional advice.. When the experienced and matured rider speak, there would be some change in the people's mind for sure..
Very very useful video❤️
Thanks Ajay! Would you share this with your friends? It would really help us!
@@shu_mar sure😍
We want holy shift episodes please we are missing them
I can listen to Shumi Sir talking anything about bikes all day long.
Please! More of these! Beautiful talk, Shumi. Thank you so much. I've shared it to all my riding buddies.
Thank you Vivek!
I don't even have a bike but damn i like him and he's just made my mind up to get one.
Best of luck!
@@shu_mar schumii thanks!
I must say this has opened my eyes and the way we used to think about out motorcycles.
Thank you shumi for this amazing video🤩🤩
Glad we helped!
Thank you so much for this video. I really needed it. I was conditioned to believe that modifications are a must.
Glad it helps!
Wow.. Don't remember the last time a video so well researched, informative and practical was created for bikers. This is platinum quality of information. Well done guys.
Thank you Prashant!
The 50 times full tank stats was really great.. I have personally experienced the same - the more you get to ride , the better you get to be by understanding yourself - well explained.. ✌️
50x300 = 15,000km. That’s more than a year’s worth of riding for many!
@@shu_mar exactly , and i really liked the way u presented this stat straight and clear
Every second is worth listening. Pure wisdom, perfection and precision in talking... This is the legend Shumi...
Thanks Shumi! It was an awesome video to watch! I'm building a 150cc project bike for my dad, the video really helped, learnt a lot out of it... Lots of Love from Thane, Maharashtra...
What a great in-depth knowledge you give to understand about a modifications wow it's a next level I don't see such a great explanations given by MCN even.
Thanks Dharshan!
Very first video in my life I’ve watched without skipping.
Oh wow! 😀
This has been by far the most sensible and informative content ive seen in PD. Its not that you dont know all these stuffs but this episode has made made me rethink and rediscover my ideas or logic abt motorcycling. Great job PD and thnx Shumi for the no nonsense approach. Keep up the good work guys!!!!
Automatic Headlights on new scooters/bikes need to be focused a bit low on road by manufacturers themselves.
Moth effect is really fatal.
Yes scooters on high beams are super annoying!
The new Honda Activa's are annoying when they are behind you and an even bigger problem is there are a lot of them
Shumi is the motorcycling mentor I never had✌🏼😆 Thank heaven I found Power Drift👊🏽
Awww! Its awesome you feel that way! We're glad you're with us!
Very well addressed the quirks/issues. Thank you making such a great video.
Love you man!!! Thanks for sharing so much of knowledge, this helps a lot of people like me who have just upgraded into new segment of bike and are confused seeing modifying the bikes
Glad it helps! Do let us know what else we can discuss and help you with!
I can sit here, watch shumi talk about motorcycles for hours. Amazing
You guys at powerdrift should seriously consider making similar podcasts for cars as well. 🙏🙏
Good idea! Thank you!
Thanks Shumi... Your lessons are a great help everytime...makes a lot of sense and corrects many!! Thank you again!
Thanks Abhishek! Glad it helps
@@shu_maryes sir it did, i was planning on modifying my new bike this gave me a great perspective! Thank you
@@abhishekchaturvedi7959 Congratulations! Modify the odometer! Put lots of km on it!
One of the best videos and must for every motorcyclist who feels that modification is a must.
Cheers! Would you share this with your friends? It would really help us!
This is The Most Useful video for every single rider out there irrespective of a the expertise level of anybody riding a motorcycle. Good job👍
Thanks Neil!
Lets keep enrolling at driving school aside. Just listen to Shumi and the way we think about bikes and driving them improves a lot.
Haha! Thank you but there is no replacement for a good school and some track time
"Weight reduction is a great idea, and there's a better place to do it than the motorcycle." 😂
Though it's not relevant to motorcycles, would you be kind enough to share you weight reduction plan?
Feel highly motivated when you said that you never hit the gym!
Beautifully done! Practical and fantastic inputs - pure wisdom. I guess we all should coin this - Shumi-dom ;)
A very well elaborated points. I really appreciate you bought it up thanks a ton.
Cheers!
The most sensible video on UA-cam regarding bikes 👍🏻
Thanks Raviraj!
Shumi, you are the awesomely wise (beardless) sage of Motorcycling. Thanks for sharing your passion and wisdom with us.
I agree with you completely, I always like to do functional mods to the bike, after a long ride, if something on my bike constantly takes my attention off from the ride, I will usually adjust or mod it. Usually it is something small, but after it is done it increases the Joy of riding.
I had not thought about Sprockets on increasing bike mileage along with performance. Please make a video if you do get a chance (or share a few links on this), as increasing tank range without too much sacrifice on performance adds to the joy of the ride as well.
There’s nothing to it! Find a speed at which the bike returns most efficiency at which you feel comfy as well. Hold that speed more often than not on rides. Done!
All points covered 🙌,
And yes I did a aux light mod, but i only use it during foggy 4-5 am morning rides or during monsoon off-roading.
And the next mod i will be doing is changing the rear sproket for a little bit higher stabilised cruising speed on highway.
Best of luck Ninad! Do let us know how it worked out!
A much needed mature talk for all the enthusiasts.
Thank you Arjun!
Shumi's motorcycle school.. the series I'm waiting for.. with riding, maintenance mods, and advise from the Shumi himself...🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's very difficult to find such beautiful analysis on such complex topics and I really appreciate the PD team and specially @shumar for creating these videos.
Reminds me of a famous UA-camr who upgraded to performance ECU in his Ninja H2 😅
Js films🤣... i knew someone would talk about him🤣🤣
Seriously??
If you know you know🤷♂️
Paisa hai toh kya kuch nahi kar sakte 😂
I'm impressed by your knowledge and by the way of educating viewers👍
Thanks Myron!
Very interesting and logical explanation.. reminds me of a few folks who modifies their bikes like competition 😀
Cheers! Do share this with them!
Wise words. Thank you so much. Really an eye opener for most of the people planning to modify bikes when straight out of the showrooms.
Thanks Sushant! Would you share this with your friends? It would really help us!
@@shu_mar Already did it❤️👍
Thank you for the info Sensei Shoomi,as of now I don't own any motorcycle. But I surely will do. And podcasts like these are very much knowledgeable for me. Great Podcast.
All the best Shaival! I hope you get yourself a motorcycle soon!
Very very valuable information
Thanks a ton Shumi
Thanks Sachin! Would you share this with your friends? It would really help us!
@@shu_mar most definitely
Superb Shumi! Thanks a lot for the insight. Please keep the content rolling.
Cheers
All I can say is ' wow'!.. Best ever orator who can talk on and on logically and sense on motorcycling and riding....
I want this guy/episode on radio.(while driving)
Thank you PD Team for this video
thanks, helpful stuff
Words of wisdom.... Very helpful
Shumi has abundance of knowledge on biking. This video has the best practical advice one can get on biking and related spends. Shumi should write a book consolidating all his thoughts for all new bikers to start their biking journey... good stuff
That's what called a genuine discussion about motorcycles....sir after listening to many , I really love your advice.
Thanks for sharing your opinion 🤗
I never tried to modify my bike
Hi team, you just spoke what I used to think about modifications. Amazing. Could you please make a video on how engine modifications work on carburettor and regular KTM engines.most of them just say modifications but no one knows how it is upgraded and how it improves the power
Best place to start for weight reduction: The rider
I'd say more fitness than just weight reduction!
@@shu_mar Yeah, Schumi explained that very well. Modern bikes are so finicky that you can't really lose much weight - More weight can be lost by trimming hair and losing body fat.
Very very useful advice given by a matured rider beautifully. I hope more people tastefully modify their motorcycles while keeping them legal
🍻
Using a modest commuter the hero HUNK for almost a decade now without any modifications but loving it as is❤️
🍻
This is the best school about bikes. Thanks shumi👍
As always, mature man talks about the things kids needs to understand! Shumi, i love you brother!!!
Thank you AVK!
This is what maturity and experience sounds like...thanks for the topic
Absolutely golden advice. Love your work Shumar!
I LOVE THIS. My Fav show on PD.

Schumi thank you for the great video, if you can give a visual reference to what specific point you are saying eg nylon cables it will be much appreciated
Came late but stayed for the paragon of wisdom. Thanks Shumi for your insights. Its been really helpful. Keep up the good work. :)
Absolutely correct......Thanks for the video.
Thanks Rachit!
Learnt a lot Thank you

Thanks Chinmoy!
*listening eyes closed* - thanks for the wisdom _/\_ ! Hope this does make a difference to our 'loud' only riders and they think beyond that.
Thanks and Cheers !!
Thank you!
Wise words! I've been running on a sprocket with lesser teeth at the back for 2+ years and it had a significant role to play, I get more range and the power delivery is better and smooth. I'm planning to get auxiliary lights with filter caps for the reason that was mentioned. Got a handlebar riser because I needed one for comfort and the seat is still stock but I have an air cushion now for very long rides (700+).
Never felt the need for an exhaust or anything else and I still do great :)
Thank you Shumi for this, it was needed!
Awesome! Glad you've got the motorcycle in a place where you enjoy it even more!
@@shu_mar Oh totally sir :) Thanks again!
The video was great loved it
Need more stuff on this topic👍👍
Thank you!
Very uncommon topic... Excellent explanation... Great knowledge sharing... Thank you very much... Keep posting... All the best...
i somehow like podcasts so much. Shumi, you give such good explanation.
Its a great podcast and absolutely professional advice! Thank you and keep coming with more such videos. :)
I have a duke 390, 2016 and clocked around 50k on it. I am not very happy with the breaks especially the front ones which are the most imp for me with the stock organic pads. I tried to adress it by changing pads to a ceramic and sintered ones and the adjustable levers from the new 390. The sintered pads offer much improved initial bite but it sometimes is too much for a Pirelli rosso 2 to handle. One advice i got was to change the rear pads to sintered and use rear break a bit more than what i usually use so that abs wont kick in.
Recently I came across this racing boy radial master cylinder. From what I know, it will not improve the breaking as such but the feeling and the feedback will be improved significantly. Whats your thought on it @Shumar? thanks in advance
Try changing the fluid from the stock Dot4 to Dot5.1! It's the cheapest mod but everyone jumps to more complex things first!
@@shu_mar Oh yeah... never gave a thought to this :p
will try that for sure.. thanks :)
Very needed discussion. A lot of people modify bikes just for the sake of it. Without realising if they really need that.
Pd back with good quality content with much deeper and precise explanations on each points 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Glad you think so Ashish! Thanks for tuning in!
Awesome Shumi✌️
2 new topics for you for vdos-
1. Ur Duke mods
2- Ur fitness mantras
Excellent info as usual
Keep posting
Cheers 🥂
Hahaha "eehhhh that idiot". Emotion captured rightly.
Very informative 👍
Keeeep talking shumi, we got nothing but time!
Vaanchit for the vin!
The JT steel front sprocket, with rubber bushings, that I replaced on my street triple 765 rs, costed 1600₹, at stock 525 pitch.
Awesome video but I had some doubts. You're saying at the top of the line exhausts and power upgrades are a waste which I can agree too. But what if we were at the bottom end of the spectrum. I completely believe what you said about the exhaust, and currently owning a NS200 I'm not even looking at exhaust. But I see my future self someday owning a Daytona in which case I would put an exhaust. I don't mind if the exhaust even loses power as long as it sounds good. I firmly believe riding experience is also affected by the sound of the car/motorcycle. What would your thoughts be on this? Also as I said I own a NS200. I was actually thinking of extracting more power out of it by maybe adding an ECU and a new Air filter. Would that be useful in my case.
Loved the genuine advice….
Shumi bhai as allways very informative Podcast.
But you forgot to mention, may be just 5-10% people think about performance while modifying their exhausts... The rest just wanted to do it for boomboom n attention😀😀
purely mature content on youtube, true explanation, love u guys
Thank you Punit! Would you share this with your friends? It would really help us!
modifications on my Impulse. A small top box, horns, and bar risers. on stock, I had to hunch a bit while standing and riding.
We want holy shift epsods please
Was waiting for this topic for long.
Let me know what else you're waiting for, I'll try and get to those topics as well then
This was a video I watched without skipping. Thank you Mr. SHUMI
