Another cheap accessory to have is a first aid kit. Just in case a buddy or you run into an emergency. I keep one in my backpack. Got them hello kitty Band-Aids ready!
Hey Yam, i'm buying my first bike and there is a guy on the internet selling a very cool looking one called Suzuki Hayabusa and I think I would look super cool riding it. He also said it has something called turbo, i'm not sure what that is but it sounds super cool. Should I buy it as my first ever bike? I just passed my MSF last weekend
For the disk lock, I recommend a disk alarm. They work the exact same way but when they get moved a little they get REAL loud. Also would keep you from forgetting it's there and destorying your brake caliper 👍🏼
This is random as hell but I guess somehow I've never had to write or type the word disk/disc and only just a minute ago did I realize it has 2 different spellings with the same meaning🤦♂️ Edit: (similar to color vs colour or armor vs amour)
@@jamesvedder1143 I think it boils down to a minute difference between American English and British English. I'll use either depending on context (I'm not sure the exact contexts but I've used both 🤣)
@@hyenapeacekeeper2220 this also happens in computing, disc vs disk. usually in computers we use disc for things that are circular when you are handling them (aka CDs, miniCD, bluray, etc.) and disk for pretty much anything else.
Like many other Harley owners, I use a battery tender, hydration pack, ear plugs, and cargo net, and on really hot days, I wear a hydration vest to cool my body core temperature and a mesh jacket with armor pads for ventillation. Ride smart. Ride safe.
I would like to note that when looking into a battery tender, you should make sure that it spicifically says battery tender or battery maintainer. If it just says battery charger on it and you leave your battery on it for an extended period of time you will kill your battery. I say this because when I worked as a parts specialist I saw a lot of customers kill brand new batteries by leaving them on a charger over the winter, and they only had a 6 month warrenty or manufaturer defect warrnenty(witch basically means as long as it works out of the box, you don't get anything). Battery tenders and mantainers will periodically stop charging a battery and even put a load on it so that it does not sit at full charge for too long. So remember, tender and maintanier good, charger bad.
I have stopped using backpack for my daily commute to office and i am now using a tank bag that carries a 14inch laptop, My 2 phones, some protein bars, a gel seat and my rain cover..Best decision ever.
I quit using locks through my discs after forgetting they were on and warping my discs. I did put better rotors on which greatly improved my overall braking abilities. But it was expensive.
I've never been a fan of tank bags, but I ride a S1000XR and have bags (with everything like my first aid kit, tools, and tire repair kit, etc. inside them).
I haven't been here for awhile but mannnn THE GROWTH (that's what she said) of this channel is great!!!! Glad to see your well over million subs. Came a long way in production no doubt. Really happy for the Yammie channel!
thats wild. there was an ad right after he said "lets take a moment for everyone that died doing something stupid for the internet." and then a "we make it happen" commercial from a telecom provider
Can you please make a video on relatively cheap but still effective riding gear. Starting out that was the hardest thing for me to find. Pants, jacket and a helmet that were affordable yet actually truly effective if I were to crash
Avoid magnetic tank bags as they can wipe out your cards magnetic strip . Happened to me twice til I worked it out. Get those with tank ring eg givi Sw motech that way u can use same bag for different bikes . A puncture repair & pump with portable charger was a life saver when I had a puncture
The beauty of riding in Northern CA (Bay Area) is that the weather here is so good, I ride all year. Have had three bikes since 2007 and never owned a battery tender. I'm sure they are good for some people, I've just never needed one. And my bikes have been sport touring complete with side bags and a top case.. No need for a tank bag. I find that they get in mai way.
Hey yammie! New rider here who plans to carry passengers as soon as i get a bike. Just did the msf course and the proctor said I should stick to anything with a seatbelt. So would it be a good idea to use a cargo net as a seatbelt? Thanks!
my riding pants have big pockets on the both sides that could fit a few soda bottles, not the most amount of armor but still a bit below the knee, but really useful because of the massive pockets
I was holding off on buying a tank bag because I wasn't sure if I'll really need it. I guess I'd give it a try. Bonus that it has a see-through phone pocket.
Been using various ear plus, then had a custom moulded one what a difference . Now using one that plugs straight into my Sena 50s amazing sound pricy but worth it so much better than foam ones
Just wondering, how's the rockform case and mount when compared to the quadlock? I've been using quadlock on my 2 bikes and cars, and found it to be working well, but if there's something better, I wouldn't be opposed to trying something new. Thanks!
Hi Yammie, very great and comprehensive video! I just recently got my first bike last week!!! It’s a 2007 gsxr600 with 56,000 miles, 3 engine rebuilds, and 14 previous owners for only $7999 USD!!! Although, i really enjoyed this video, I will not be purchasing anything from it due to the fact that I will be buying carbon fiber parts for my motorcycle in hopes of getting enough weight savings to hit 190mph (previous owner said he already hit 180). I really hope you make a video on which carbon fiber parts to get for maximum weight savings!!!
Tip; given to me by a friend… if you use a disc lock, cut a plastic straw down to about 3 inches and, when using the lock, simply stick the short straw into you ignition key slot as a reminder. Sweet hack. Feel free to share.
MotoSafe Alpine Earplugs>>>Eargasm or similar. the motosafe alpine plugs do a much better job at being selective with what frequencies they block out. They make a night and day difference to how my music sounds coming in from my cardo. suddenly all the details ( high and low frequencies) that were being erased by wind come back and you get truly headphone like sound.
Just ordered a tank bag and cargo net for my first tour this summer, already have a battery tender, tool roll and disc locks. But hydration pack no sir, I'd rather just stop for a second and drink out of a water bottle lol
One note on the cargo net: get one with coated metal hooks - NO PLASTIC hooks. Also, regular use is still going to make surface scratches. Deal with it.
I think it's hilarious that the main UA-cam thumbnail shows the exact tank bag I used to have, on a Triumph very much like mine. I swapped it out for one of the lock ring around the fuel cap design because a tiny piece of grit got caught on the magnet and I didn't notice it before it caused a small scratch.
I've never used rockform, I have always used Quad Lock, and I will never look back. I have had low sides, highway in the rain, and one high side(low speed) and my phone has never came off.
How I see it, is, if you need ear plugs to muffle the sound of your exhaust, your bike is too loud. This is coming from someone who rides a straight piped sv650. No muffler at all. Mine is loud but I've never thought "i need earplugs"
It’s going to depend on where you live and what state fees are like (taxes, title, etc). In Texas, 6900 out the door for a 4000 bike is laughable. Generally, you should be looking at 250-700 for freight, around 300-400 in dealer fees (assembly, paperwork), and whatever state fees you’ll incur for title and taxes. That should leave you somewhere around 5000-5500 in most places.
Keep your phone in your pocket, folks. Imagine a scenario where you have an accident on your own in the middle of nowhere. The last car you saw was 30 minutes ago. Your leg is halfway turned to hamburger meat, you're barely able to keep conscious and you see the wreckage of what you think is your bike 50 yards further down the road and you don't even know if the phone is still attached to it. Wouldn't it be easier to get it out of your pocket? Get a navigator for the bike, if you really need it, instead.
It's a simple idea from a seasoned English rider just cover the underside of tank bag with artificial fur, thirty years later no scratches on tank and too many miles to remember
I take it back. Like 2 weeks after this i lost my cheap magnetic tank bag with my phone, wallet, and house keys in it on the highway. Get a bag with straps, not magnetic
I am by all means not a motorbike rider I want to be but I live in the uk and stuck on a moped till I can get a 125 then up from there but I take it to college and I need that armed security 😂😭🙏
Get that Rokform mount! DO IT. glnk.io/3rj1/yammie-noob
That’s just spent $179
Another cheap accessory to have is a first aid kit. Just in case a buddy or you run into an emergency. I keep one in my backpack. Got them hello kitty Band-Aids ready!
This is probably the best bit of advice period, it might be ineffective on a mote serious incident but always handy to have
hello kitty band-aids! doing the lord's work, my dude
My tank bag is great! It functions like a pillow so I can lay down and take naps while on long trips.
Naturally as one does

If it's a gen 1 that means it's for beginners like yourself I think
BOT
Looks like a good bike, it's very fast so you can avoid crashes, no need for a helmet on that bike.
I think this sounds great! Make sure you only spool boost when you want to pass someone on the highway
Just keep it in first gear and You’ll be fine
For the disk lock, I recommend a disk alarm. They work the exact same way but when they get moved a little they get REAL loud. Also would keep you from forgetting it's there and destorying your brake caliper 👍🏼

Yammie never gonna let Gixxer brah go about the busa lmao
I mean he didn't charge him but wouldn't you pick on him about it lol I think yammie is at least owed that much😂

Battery tender has saved me big time, best thing for winter.
Cramp busters are a must on all my bikes. $10-15. They last around 5k miles if u dont mess w em too much

1:22 that’s why I use a backpack with many many pockets 👍
The whispering for the busa🤣

WHAT???? I can plug a USB charger into my battery tender? Well, that’s just awesome. Thanks Yammie ❤ love your channel

Thanks, you are crazy and it is the YammiNoob spirit that adds to my life not the other way round.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Tank bags are nearly required. Great suggestions overal.

I love the little coffee rant
Good morning, Squids!!
Have a wonderful day!!
Well its Night Here.
Though good morning to you sir
@@dhananjaykokate5667 My bad, good evening to you Squids!
That whisper of a turbo busa was not what I was expecting brother
Well the RockForm case is USD 59 + USD 120 for the bike mount. Not sure how this is less than 50$
That mid-roll during the moment of silence has got to be the best thing I've seen in a while

Love the vids yam keep them rolling 👍👍👍
What if you don't have metal tank for it to stick too on a tank bag cause that is my air filter bump! 🤣 Are the strap ones 2:57 stay worth a damn?
my riding pants have big pockets on the both sides that could fit a few soda bottles, not the most amount of armor but still a bit below the knee, but really useful because of the massive pockets
Some disc locks have a built-in alarm.. and if they are jostled or tampered with they send out a shrieking alarm

obviously Rockford DID NOT sponsor this video... 👀
I like how you say “car center console” and show a semi truck sleepers shelf’s. I know I lived in one!
I didn’t know I needed to hear that about the turbo busa. Gonna be amazing
Alright which one is truly better: Rokform or Quadlock? Looking to purchase one soon
Just wondering, how's the rockform case and mount when compared to the quadlock? I've been using quadlock on my 2 bikes and cars, and found it to be working well, but if there's something better, I wouldn't be opposed to trying something new. Thanks!
yeah the tough to swallow joke cooked me 💀
U bout made me crash my truck with that "YOU ARE DREAMING TBIS IS NOT REAL" thing. Its 6 a.m. and im questioning my existence😂😂😂😂
I had that exact bag.. when I got into scooters, (I have a yamaha morphous.. very rare) I sold that.. and got a tunnel Bag.. that sucker worked GREAT!

Do they sell riding gears anymore at yn website?
For the tank bag, do you have to take it off to get gas?
Yes
2:37 I can't be the only one who saw a surprised hamster face, right? Right?
Does yammi not sell parts anymore? I was gonna get my new tires off his website and in dont see them anymore
I'm looking at getting my first bike tomorrow. I'll keep these in mind after I reinstall the turn signals and mirrors
Rockform is really everywhere on bro's channel lmao. Ima use these in five years (literally)
Tip; given to me by a friend… if you use a disc lock, cut a plastic straw down to about 3 inches and, when using the lock, simply stick the short straw into you ignition key slot as a reminder. Sweet hack. Feel free to share.
Why not just have a memory cable attached? Mine goes over the clutch lever and left grip as I can’t start the bike without it being in the way
You can go weeks without eating, but only days without water. Drink water people, hydrate. It is a life saver.
Hey guys love your stuff, a question are icon helmets good ? A drive a 600cc

Where do u get a decent tank bag that's half decent size for under 50 bucks? Most are over 100
Yam, do you no longer sell gear on your website, only merch?
One note on the cargo net: get one with coated metal hooks - NO PLASTIC hooks. Also, regular use is still going to make surface scratches. Deal with it.

I just spent $270 buying armor, quad lock, chin mount for my helmet and a tailbag
I've never used rockform, I have always used Quad Lock, and I will never look back. I have had low sides, highway in the rain, and one high side(low speed) and my phone has never came off.
I have never drunk a Quaker-skeet espresso, and now I never will (thanks to Yammie Noob).
The problem with Rockform is that they don't have anything for the z flip.
Bike at 3:08 what is that?
How’s the weather out in Texas? We are getting flooded in California.
Dry
1:53 I TOTALLY FORGOT THESE EXISTED
I don’t know how you do it but great video dude
Nature's pocket! Oh Yammie....
4:19 he always has one on the bike but he doesn't ride with the phone on the mount🤔
I have 2 15 dollar phone mounts been using them for years........ never a problem
I found out recently walmart has atv/motorcyle cargo nets for less than 9 bucks, game changer for a ninja 2fiddy
'Dyed with the bl**d of rhino' make me chuckle
Yam went hard in this video. Nailed it.
The shade at gixxerbrah 😂😂
No shade hahaha but he did kill my busa.................
thanks yammie

Still waiting for the bearded mechanic to redo that busa
I’m new to motorcycles and I’m trying to get a Klx 230s from a dealer. It’s on sale for $3,999 but the out of door price is $6900. Is that normal?

I wish they had a case for my Samsung A13.
The only thing I dislike about yannie is how many times he feels like he’s got to make a joke it’s like every 10 seconds
L take
It's a simple idea from a seasoned English rider just cover the underside of tank bag with artificial fur, thirty years later no scratches on tank and too many miles to remember
Rockform did not have anything in stock and the reviews didn’t look all that great. I went with quad lock. Spendy but it works.
Even the most expensive tank bags scratch the shit out of your tank.
Got a tank bag for $20 Australian off eBay, can confirm it's worth it
I take it back. Like 2 weeks after this i lost my cheap magnetic tank bag with my phone, wallet, and house keys in it on the highway. Get a bag with straps, not magnetic
Hey yam first time commenter longtime subscriber how do you feel about a brake lock instead of a disc lock
You mean the bearded mechanic in good old pennsyltucky is working on the busa.
How did I find Basically Homeless on a motorcycle channel
Puncture repair kit??
That’s a rock fact!
I know advertisements, but I prefer Quadlock. More expensive, but like you said not as expensive as my phone.
I am by all means not a motorbike rider I want to be but I live in the uk and stuck on a moped till I can get a 125 then up from there but I take it to college and I need that armed security 😂😭🙏
LONG LIVE THE BUSAAAAA
In Italy we call a latte “cappuccino” and if it is really expensive for what it is if you go in a popular area it can cost up to 1.20 🤯
I'm not supposed to tell you. But, HE'S WORKING ON THE BUSA
I reallöner want a rockform but the Dont support the oneplus 10T
double the body weight in oz of water? im 170lb, hence 340 oz? it should be 2 liters, but if you convert it its around 10 wtf
Can you hear music through the earplugs?
My tank bag is pretty cool.... I keep my wife in it...
