Well the don’t get an exhaust was for beginners this video is more general, if you have a bike you like and want to keep for awhile you should get an exhaust, if you just got a ninja 250 don’t bother with it
I can't believe we forgot tank grips! Seriously people it's the number 1 mod you should do to every single bike you ever own. Just do it you'll thank me later... Join us on yammienoob.co!
I think i've spent more time watching bike videos than studying for my car driver license, thanks
Tbh if you read the motorcycle handbook from the dmv, it mentions things that should be talked about with learning how to drive cars as well imo. Like SEE:

Lmfao exact same situation here
I took the written test 4 times to pass it. I only read one sentence on a random page when I failed the other 3 and that same sentence was a question on the fourth go. The clerk said “Wow you cut it close. If you would have failed one more question, you would have had to start over.”
Having said that I’ve seen almost all of yammie’s videos 😂😂

🤣Stop Saying Sprocket🤣
Why?

Sprocket
I agree, he should stop saying sprocket, but mainly cause he didn’t give good info about sprockets..
I don't know about all bikes, but on mine, the speedo cable goes to the front wheel, so a sprocket change will have no effect on reading of the speedo. Changing the ring and pinion in a car on the other hand will yield a different speedometer reading.

Can you do top 10 underrated starter bikes? I personally think that 125cc 2 strokes are pretty underrated
CB125F is highly underrated. Things amazing.
@@Luke-Godzilla my schoolmate has a CB125F, while I went the tryhard route and got a Cagiva Mito
GSX-R 1000 is the most underrated starter bike. If you can master it, you literally do not need anything else. Unless it's a Turbo 'Busa!
Y125ZR
I'm starting on a slow bike but a,"2008 gs 500 f"
8:47 lost a perfect opportunity to say “wanna go fast, well you gotta be comfortable on your ass”
Order should be as follows:
1. Tires
2. Suspension
3. Sprockets
4. Everything else - pipes, air cleaner, tune
Depending on the bike, I might throw brakes on that list just below tires.
eh i would put shorter travel clutch at 2nd those are really convenient and feels good to use
@@neowolf09 I love me the idea of some nice ass brakes. But you need the tires first
@@oConshien Personally I'd take a miss on the ass brakes
But idk how to adjust my suspension 😳
Changing to iridium spark plugs also helps in throttle response and it’s really helpful for tourers because of its longevity
On modern bikes that do not have a no ABS trim option, I think the speedo always comes from the abs sensor since that is easier and cheaper, so changing sprockets doesn't change speedo accuracy. I have changed sprockets on my 2019 vstrom 650 and my 2021 z400 and the speedo as gauged against gps did not change at all
Thanks Yammie Noob! Learned new things today form your video.
This really helped! Thanks Yammie!
You forgot the cheapest dollar for herspers gain. The go-fast stripes and stickers. These little adhesive mods will have you pulling all kinds of dank nooners, and 200 mph top speeds on your 300 beginner bikes.
I’m not getting tired of the busa jokes! They are great!
Should I install a backup camera?
Not a super dumb question, no backup camera but there are some pretty cool "dash cams" for bikes that are small and record front and rear and are super cool to prove you were not in the wrong if an accident happens without needing to rock a goPro
There is even a yoituber that modded one of his mirrors to show a locd camera feed of whats behindert him

Hey yammie really enjoy your content keep going
Amazing vid as always 🤙🏻
The speedometer part blew my mind
For those of you that may have questions, here are the answers:
#4 chain
Here's what those 3 numbers mean, in full: First off, Yammie is correct on the first number being the pitch (distance) between the rivet pins in your chain. Those are the links that are inside the rollers, and the measurement is taken from the center-point of one rivet link to the center-point of the one adjacent to it. The next two numbers he had sort of right. Here's what it actually means: These two numbers classify the width of the chain links themselves. This is taken from a perpendicular perspective from the first number's measurement. The width of the chain link is taken not by the longitudinal length that runs parallel with the chain's direction of travel, but the width if you were to look at the chain from behind the bike. it's the material thickness of the individual chain links on either side of the rollers if you were to look directly down on the rear sprocket.
One last note: The reason why lighter chains make you faster is a concept called drive-train parasitic losses. All motorcycles' engines are rated from factory, usually with the dyno attached directly at the output shaft of the transmission. Once you add sprockets and a chain to the mix, the actual torque/horsepower the road sees is a percentage of that number because not only does the engine have to power the output shaft, it also has to use some amount of power to spin both sprockets and pull a chain between them. Considering that the chain-sprocket setup usually has a parasitic loss of 5-10% total engine output, having lighter components, mainly the chain, reduces that percentage, thereby transferring more of the engine's output to the road surface.
#5 sprockets
Alright, this one's gonna be hard and fast, so here we go:
A) lighter sprockets mean less rotational mass. Less rotational mass equals less parasitic loss.
B) Aluminum sprockets are more lightweight at the cost of accelerated wear.
C) the smaller the diameter, the less of a difference weight makes. If curious, look up the physics concept 'moment of inertia'. This mainly pertains to front sprockets due to them being so small. That and the fact that the percentage weight difference between aluminum and steel front sprockets is significantly less than rear sprockets
Point being: stick with steel front and keep the weight savings for the rear sprocket itself.
One last thing: going down one tooth in the front is less desirable than adding 2 teeth in the rear. Smaller front sprockets mean tighter turning radius for the chain, therefore higher chance of chain binding and it causes accelerated front sprocket wear.
#6 rear-sets
Only one thing to add here: Go Vortex if you're in novice/lower intermediate group at a track day. Replacement pegs are inexpensive and simple to take on/off, so if you do happen to low-side and scrape a peg, you can have 2 or three full spare set for around $100-120. Go Woodcraft if you're upper intermediate/advanced track day group and your personal risk of falling/low-siding is small. Woodcraft's great due to the greater customization and flexibility of their hardware. Vortex gets you well within the ballpark. Woodcraft is for final placement and ergonomic perfection, but at a much steeper cost.
#7 Clip-ons
These are something you should consider in only three scenarios:
A) Your stock clip-ons are not adjustable and are uncomfortable to use at a spirited pace
B) the clip-ons have been damaged due to impact or something similar
C) you're at a level to fully utilize the benefits they add to the bike's steering geometry and you can set them up to suit you specifically
#10 Adjustable Levers
No facts, just a little advice here:
Recommend not doing this until you are fully familiar with and have built substantial muscle memory of the stock equipment, and how YOUR bike rides. Get the comfort level with your machine down first. Then go for these.
Y'all have a good one.
Shit man, that intro actually made me spit out water lolololol *D O M I N A T O R*
If you're a fellow Carbureted Motorcycle Rider, High flow Exhaust's and Filter's are going to require Carburetor modification. (Larger Main Jets) if you fail to do this, your gonna Lean out your Air/Fuel and possibly blow your motor. Depends on how much air your new set up displaces... But if you put a new Pipe on and your Bike suddenly stall's, probably not a good idea to limp er Home. Your super lean and your gonna burn your motor up. This is not a lesson to be learned the hard way..
Fix your Speedo is a must! Bought a bike that needed one fixing n went down same day going fast in the canyon on a turn :/ bike faired good with bent brake pedal n loose clutch, I got a broken pinky too. All good and now I know my speeds at turns and how fast I’m going between gears
Tank grip pads are a great addition and a cheap one too. Should be added right after the bike purchase.
Really cool that you live in Austin! I just bought my first motorcycle! I love this city :D

Brake strobes. Recently got the STS Smart brake module, and it does its job of warning the vehicle behind that I am slowing down. Have you heard of it?
I just got a wonderful deal on a new cbr300R. This has been the best vid to mod my new bike. I've had 3 bikes before: a 250Intercepter, CBR600, & my beloved fzr600. I'm older wiser with enough speed runs, and want a lighter bike. Still, I'm bummed to not have the same 600 pwr. Anyway, I'm still locked and loaded for my new bike. Picked out a LeoV for slip on. I totally appreciate the guidance for more umph. TY😊
Great video!
1. Cheap but important, as you mentioned there is nothing more important than the points where the rider contacts the bike- hand grips. This made a big difference for me on my Busa, being comfortable and the right diameter, grippier, you don't have to strangle it to have great control. 2. Then, stainless steel brake lines and new brake pads to suit- did this, then I could stoppie my 500+ pound bike with one finger- and I'm NOT a big guy. 3. If not new rear sets, new foot pegs- I simply swapped my factory Busa pegs out for a set of Harley pegs, forget which bike, that fit and were smaller but grippier. Cannot emphasize enough, where you touch the bike affects everything you do to control it. Even replaced the seat with one more supportive, grippier...
Lighter wheels also give your suspension the ability to put more force on the ground. The reduction of unsprung weight gives you 12.5 lbs of pressure per 1 ounce of weight reduced @ 50 mph. 24 lbs @ 100 mph and, 36 lbs @ 150 mph, Respectfully. So lighter wheels definitely allow your suspension to keep your tires contacting the ground. They increase handling exponentially.
The Speedo Healer on my DL1000 required hard wiring in the harnass, and messed up my traction control real bad. Had to cut it out of the harnass and splice the wires back together. Total garbage!!!
With twisted road thing you could just put a bike you dont use anymore for rent and make extra bucks, epic win
Well hello there yammie
Waiting for that MT 10 vlog!!
Being old school I stay away from fuel injected bikes for obvious reasons like after market exhaust and rejetting without a computer adjustment, which gets pricey. I don't care to correct my speedo because I know there's a discrepincy, so I adjust for it. Next I always switch my lights to all LEDs, because they don't burn out and are brighter. Along with my throttle lock ( a must have) and heated grips, there are so many add-ons, it's really up to the riders tastes.
just take the bus kid
My bike's speedometer is less than 1% off... it's also a retired police bike... My roommate used to complain that I was speeding when following me, when I was actually going the real speed limit.
I was looking at my speedo the other day next to my gps...stock its only down by 1mph across the board which i found interesting
The K&N is going to allow higher micron level debris into your engine. More power, but at a shorter lifespan of the engine.
The best intro on the channel
i laughed harder than i should have with the sprocket references
Just did my chain and socket. Front sprocket - 1 tooth(15) and rear +2(48) teeth and it's faster but my mpg went down might go back stock front sprocket tooth (16).
Love my Coffman shortly exhaust, power commander Vand BMC air filter. Love bike
My bike is new. I prefer to go the speed limit in some parts of town, so I go 40 in a 35. If I want to push it up to 4 over, I'll do 44 in a 35. Now to look into buying that calibration kit.
I love how much you say “sprocket”
Lever Mod is a must, especially with bikes that have bulky levers. they’re not too expensive or difficult to install
Also with a different sprocket the miles on your bike will rack up much quicker, lowering the value and closer service intervals. But on my 125 i don't care, I need the extra poke to get up the hills lol
Squid mod n.12: go on a diet (as a squid you'll definitely see acceleration gains when you racing other busa bois in Mexico or on the track)
Best "Mod" I did was a coolant swap. R1's run hot already. Changing to a good coolant dropped my bikes running temps by almost 20°F at idle. No longer are my thighs burning for desire to move at traffic lights.
What did you switch it to
@@timesque9790 First I switched to engine ice, but a friend talked me into VP Racing bike coolant and I am running 10° cooler than the engine ice.
Cheap slip-ons *laughs in Remus Exhausts* just got mine for my 05 speed triple 🤙
Just found your channel and I'm loving it. I'm looking into getting my first bike. What would you suggest?
What is your experience level
@@timesque9790 little to none
Love you bro
Tried the Rocket 2.5 lt yet? Come on Yammie..... ride the brute of the Triumphs.....
It’s kinda surprising to me that you don’t mention tank grips on this list. You used to talk so much about them and say how important they are for you and how they keep you in position while on those twisty roads. I’m kinda shocked.
Great video, non the less.
Thanks.
speedo is on the front, but even if it was on the back it still counts revolutions. changing sprockets has no affect
I noticed that the speedometer inaccuracy issue seems to be confined to Japanese bikes. My brother has two RE's, and the speedometers are accurate on both. He used to have a Husqvarna TR650, and I think it had a good speedometer. I have a harley, which has an accurate speedometer. My suzuki has a good speedometer too - because I put a Vapor trailtech speedometer on it.
My husband is subbed and watch these videos. Everytime one starts up all I can think of is "laurel noob" "Yammie" "Laurel" "Yammie Noob"
Should have mentioned in the exhaust portion with full exhaust you should use a power comander

planning to change the exhuast system on my ducati v4..its there a big difference between the slip on and the full systen.
Yammie, What Speedo healer do you recommend?
($50 Aftermarket Brake Light Module. My motorcycle came with one, (installed by the previous owner). It makes the brakelight flash whenever either brake lever is held down. When the brakes are held down, continuously, it will flash, the amount of times that you've program it to flash, then the brake light lights up solid, and then repeats the flashing sequence, until the brakes have been released.
I put carbon wheels and pirreli tires on my bike. It's the best mod I've done. Very nice gains in handling. I'll probably do carbon wheels on any road bike in the future. The cost is getting better and I'm sold. I ride a 2018 Super Duke 1290, which went on a diet. It's 448.5lbs full of fuel. It's so easy to ride flickable. I've noticed two side effects. One, the low speed stability is less. It's harder to stay on a straight line under 5mph. Two, I don't lean as much. I can take the same corner at the same speed it requires less lean angle. I wouldn't recommend carbon wheels to my Harley friends nor to off road riders. A overweight bike won't see as much gain as a light bike and for off road wire wheels are pretty tough and potentially repairable whereas carbon is not repaired on the trail side.
A good performance mod would be a gear indicator!
Yammie. Have you adjusted your busa’s speedo?
See a lotta bikes with minimalist LED setups on the rear and they're really difficult to see. If you're going to modify your lights make sure people can actually see your indicators during the day
12:34 buys shorty levers, hopes they act as sliders when goes down...
Squid rider logic. 👍🏻
I went with LED lights and K&N filters on every car and bike I own as the first thing I do. Never thought about switching the wheels though, but with an old beat up duel sport and a cruiser it might not be worth it
I've got a gixxer 600(yea I know, gixxer gang) with a yoshimura titanium exhaust, k&n filter and shorty levers still haven't got the power commander yet, could be the reason it sounds like it's got a cam in it on startup?
No mention of quick shifters?? Worth it to do via after market?
If you live in the United States and you ride a Hyosung, you might want to get a different face for your speedo, since kph is in white, on top, and easy to see, and mph is in a different color, on the bottom, and pretty hard to see. If you make your own face, you can use it to calibrate the speedo too

Yammie, my man thank you for the doctor Steven brule I thought no one knew...
What about upsizing jets? Cheap and effective.
Yo yammie when are you gonna give away the busa to a squid 😂
Checked my GSX-S1000 speedo today it was 4-5mph off like 60mph is really 55mph! I figure by the time I change the gearing a little and put on a bigger Michelin Road 5 tires and it should get it back to closer! The Dunlop that came on my bike no longer exist so the one that replaces it is bigger taller so it should speed me up and show the speedo as moving slower so it should be pretty close then! And what little it’s off will keep me from getting tickets so it’s all good long as I know what I’m really doing but I do want it closer but doesn’t have to be perfect!
Im buying a 2012 Yamaha yzf R-125 on friday, and im a beginner (only have 3 days of active riding on an Aprilia RS50).
It has a sport exhaust kit installed on it, should I be concerned?
Dominator of fallopian tubes :-)
That is something that we don't hear often
I added a slip-on (Yoshi Alpha) and disabled the exhaust butterfly valve (now stuck open) but left the CAT. It doesn't restrict air flow much and the weight is down low where it doesn't matter as much. If I cared enough, I would change out the lead battery for a lightweight lithium battery. Only get the Shorai brand battery and charger. A cheap charger can cause them to catch on fire, and considering the location of the battery, it'll roast your chestnuts for you. Anyway, you will save several pounds up high where it matters. I added a Puig windscreen for track but it cuts down on air on the highway. I added a Bazzaz fuel controller (like Power Commander), auto-tuner (so it's permanently on a sniffer making suggested changes to my fuel map), and a Bazzaz timing retard eliminator. The auto-tuner allows you to make any mods you want and it will simply give you a new fuel map for your new setup. For some reason, many manufacturer's retard the timing in gears 1 to 4. Gear 5 has the spot-on perfect timing. The retard-eliminator (I know, I know) is little doohickey that fools the CPU into using the gear 5 timing for all gears for a noticeable bump in power. I also added Yoshi billet aluminum engine case covers that bolt on over the stock covers. I call them crankshaft insurance. Yo, Crammie Snoob, I've posted several replies like this -- accurate, comprehensive, and (yes) funny. You have never thanked me. You're welcome. (^_^)

What are the lightest tires you can get on a super moto
I can't seem to find a Speedohealer for my 2020 KLX230. One of the only two websites I saw selling them had one for the KLX250, but not the 230. Wonder if it would still work?
Ol boy said BOOSA
Carbon fiber wheels on my wife's H-D breakout would shave off 30lbs. That's allot of rotational weight savings. Unfortunately, that's also about $5k out of my pocket..
Please explain... how is a gearing change gonna affect speedo accuracy; a motorcycle speedometer references wheel speed. Engine rpm is increased by lower gear ratios, requiring more revs to reach a predetermined wheel speed. The only way gearing affects speedometer calibration is if said gauge is driven off the output shaft of the tranny as in a car. Correct?
Should i do ecu first or other mod
