I've had the 8R for about two months. To use the Quick Shifter smoothly, you must accelerate when you upshift and give it NO THROTTLE when you downshift. If you are not accelerating when you upshift then it's clunky and if you are accelerating when you downshift, then it's clunky.
I just got the 8s last week and I noticed that to down shift you actually need to GIVE gas instead of cutting it off completely, if I try to downshift with no throttle it won't shift without using the clutch, I asked the service guys from my dealer they told me that you need to reve the bike while downshifting. Is your downshift smooth? I thought mine might be broken or something
Bought my GSX8R a month ago, has a 2WDW tune, akra exhaust with airbox mods from tst. after all said and done after my 600 mile service I took it to the track. I wont lie it absolutely rips out of corners out on track. My only complaint is the rear shock has a lot to be desired.
@@piture I ran 2wdw for all my bikes, vcyclenut isn't bad either but I would never touch a more mafia flashed bike unless I wanted to be a complete problem to society with a pop, bang flash.
I should've give your channel more of try I only saw the shorts and thought you were being really obnoxious but I've watched quite a few of your videos now and I completely understand your humour! Not only that I understand it was purely for views on them shorts! I am really liking these kinds of videos, ride safe!
There's a reason all experienced riders/racers love the 8R/8S. I've said it before, this bike will do what the SV650 did to the game over 20+ years ago.
I got a tuned 8s it’s a fun bike. I still downshift manually on it because it doesn’t quite blip enough or smoothly. The tune smoothed out the up shifts. Naked bike also has showa forks. While 8r has kyb front forks
about the exhaust the 8S I rode had a Arrow exhaust and it sounded mean, it was a demo day and I had to double check if it was my bike or a bigger bike behind me but nope it was the 8S such a nice bike to ride I didn't bother with the quick shifter tho xD
Yeah, my bike has nothing, its made for city riding. It does good in city conditions. Its nimble, its reliable but it barely hits 100 in full tuck. 6'3 220 dude on an mt03 aint it but its a fun bike, im gonna keep it for a while though
The only negative, imo, of the 8R is the extremely small rear compartment and tail. Why Suzuki? It’s nearly useless. It would look better with a larger tail.
Everyone hopping on this GixxerEighter train. I cannot blame them though. Most fun bike with a practical street design that has come out in awhile (atleast fully faired). They definitely learned something from Kawis sport ergos, and the love for twin powered torque for daily commuters. This bike only lacks CC but the looks are far superior to anything new. This bike beats all others into the dust. Like... Wth was the point of a Ninja 500??? Modernization? Just redesign the 400 🙄
wait so my mate being like "I see you at 8 but coming at 9:30 pm is normal because he is a philipino? xD he has done that for years lmao, he was like "I see you at 7" I was like "Aight, see you at 9" xD
How was the was that BMW DOE!!!!! Man I really wanna buy one. Havent had a chance to ride one yet, but I guarantee I would end up breaking the bank if I did. Awesome vid!
I went from roanoke Virginia to Pigeon forge Tennessee on my gsx8s. I found I had to stop every hour or 60 to 70 miles. My ass got irritated as hell. Other than that, it's a kikass bike. 😊. My helmet tries to raise up off my head at about 85, too.
Hello, what do you guys think of this bike with a passenger? I don’t want to drive for more than three hours with my girl, i’m love the looks of the 8r but thinking of a bmw f900 xr that I don’t love the looks but for more comfort I’m thinking of it What do you guys think? Thank you
The Ninja 650 is a staple of the category. Its also a good fun bike. I think the RS 660 is the best all around bike in the class. Great blend of weight, torque, style and good HP. Love mine. Have had no mechanical issues and can do anything on it from long rides to carving up twisty back roads.
@@DeepSouthMoto it is overall a good bike i owned one and a r7 r7 sounded better but the ninja to me with a pipe and tune felt more torquier a good pipe helps sound better and deeper but alot of people put the ebay specials and they sound loud as hell and absolute crap
@@michaelch6536 yea I have both the RS 660 and the Ninja 650. Was scared to death to buy the Aprilia at first. Ninja is fun but the 660 is better to me. One of my buds has an R7. Good bike also.
can you make a video on buying a motorcycle from 2nd hand like fb marketplace and stuff like that- how to know if it's worth the price or what to look for
Just curious, is the channel still monetized? I ask because a few other motovloggers have talked about how much youtube is cracking down on this stuff.
@@adobomoto I wont tell anyone if you don't. Seriously though, youtube's policy is killing this kind of content, and it sucks. Glad you're still producing videos on a regular basis though.
I like the direction the motorcycle industry is going with these "middleweight" sport bikes. Perks of decades of R&D trying to make what people want "usuable street bike". If you want a track bike, those still exist lol. Not everyone needs an R6 etc screaming at 15k just to get to 2nd gear every where they go.... you all have "that" friend. Edit: me personally, my street bike taste lean more towards streetfighters like ktm 1390, ducati monster, mt09, 765r, list goes on for "sporty" street bikes. I think it's silly to squid in the road but to each their own! It's all highway racing here in Houston so most people lean towards busas and liter bikes for that roll race after dark.
Some of the characteristics of the 8R sound a bit like my SV650 (Freakin' Zuki 🤣). It's my first bike and I don't have any friends who ride. :( That mountain highway is like a 45 minute drive from me on a good day, but I wanna check it out sometime. Seems a waste to go alone though. 😭
If you have 0 experience take the MSF and try an R3 or RC390(2020+ for the reliability updates) they have much more committed riding positions similar to true Supersports. If you're a bigger guy you could splurge on an R7 or if you just want the looks and modest power get an older FZ6R which has a super detuned R6 engine making around 76hp but seating position similar to a Ninja 650 but very slightly more aggressive.

is it pointless to rev match with a quickshifter?

@@toomuchcoke101 My downshift is smooth if I lay off the throttle. If I'm on the throttle, it has trouble shifting. It will still do it, but jerks.

2 walt disney world tunes
“I hate being late, but it’s part of being a filipino” 😂 real.
“Oh god, I forgot my ear plugs” 😂 that’s when you know when your ear plugs work. Great video bro!
Every time i think about picking up a new GSXR750 these dang 8R videos show up in my feed! 🤣
Absolutely love my 8R, glad to see you enjoyed riding one!

GSX 8S is a very awesome bike I rode it at saturday, it's a lot of torque it was so much fun, I will ride the 8R in July.
I got a tuned 8s it’s a fun bike. I still downshift manually on it because it doesn’t quite blip enough or smoothly. The tune smoothed out the up shifts.
Naked bike also has showa forks. While 8r has kyb front forks
Who’d you go with for the tune?
@@schooper. 2 wheel dynoworks like the guy in the video mentioned. Vcyclenut seems like another person people go to a lot
@@dante8s yeah I was gonna eventually get an m4 for mine and get her tuned but can’t decide between the two, 2WDW was who I was leaning towards
See dash for every bike. Get's on M and blur comes up in first 3 seconds 😈😈😈. Love it🔥🔥 . Looks like a good time with the boys.
Watching from the Philippines! now i'm planning to buy the GSX8R haha because of this video
My 8R the shifter clunk is 98% eliminated at a hair over 500miles. Only seems to be getting smoother with usage and miles.
about the exhaust the 8S I rode had a Arrow exhaust and it sounded mean, it was a demo day and I had to double check if it was my bike or a bigger bike behind me but nope it was the 8S such a nice bike to ride I didn't bother with the quick shifter tho xD
Great video! I think the 8R and 8S are solid bikes and like the R7 definitely will benefit of a tune, exhaust and intake.
ngl bro glazing that bike comparing it to the rs660
Love my 8R, I'm throwing an Akra on it this week and getting a tune in May.
Love the 8S/8R platform. Glad to see you take one out
Me too!
@@adobomotoHave you found 3rd party lowered clip-ons (screw ons)?
If they made the gsxr 600/1000 look like this I’d really consider buying one 😍
Tacoma native here! Love that strip of road!
I also have a GSX-8S with an Akrapovic exhaust and the TST ECU flash. These bikes are so much fun for the streets.
I hate gearing all up and about to jump on the bike when you realize you forget your ear plugs!
Y'all wear ear plugs?
Finally I thought you will never have that 8R I wish it will come to the Philippines soon
Supposed to be the end of the year. Asked suzuki about a week ago.
The 8R has a stiffer suspension than the 8S.
Just got my 2024 8s in grey. Absolutely love the bike.
I love the way your start these videos!
Broo!!! what sick video!!! Loved this content bro
One of the coolest videos from you. Love the canyon ride 😮
Adobo getting down on the BMW!! 🔥
Yeah, my bike has nothing, its made for city riding. It does good in city conditions. Its nimble, its reliable but it barely hits 100 in full tuck. 6'3 220 dude on an mt03 aint it but its a fun bike, im gonna keep it for a while though
It’s definitely fun bro, no denying that
@@adobomoto it does have nothing though 😂. The tracer I rode was perfect so definitely have that as my first choice for a next bike for sure
@@adobomoto the gsx8r was good, the quickshifter was alright, as well as the autoblip
I wish I lived closer so you could try the ZX4RR!! Got a tune and a full yoshi exhaust thing is SUPER FUN!!
Waste of money to do anything to that bike
Damn awesome looking roads out there and twisties!
i was just looking at this bike at my local dealer. adobo blessed with a video, good day 🤙🏼
8R has different suspension. 30% stiffer front fork. Not sure about the rear shock.
Suzuki crushed it with this bike. One of the best do it all sport bikes ever
The only negative, imo, of the 8R is the extremely small rear compartment and tail. Why Suzuki? It’s nearly useless. It would look better with a larger tail.
How much faster does the bike go with all those stickers?
Which ones should i buy first?
lol i was thinking the same thing about the guy talking to the young un and just at that moment he got roasted hahahaha

It’s fun! Expensive though
so which is best by your riding experience between this Suzi GSX8R and the Yamaha R7?
Suzuki
13:00 Fun Fact! The digital dash on the GSX8s and 8R is the exact same from the BMW S1000RR and S1000R 😄
I thought you sold the Aprilia?
"traded"... Flipingpino talk. 😁
@@gixsix6270 well he was trying to sell it and I thought in a previous video he said it finally sold
@@tuckerthenpc4573 it needs a few more drops in the parking lot, then that cheap filipino will sell it😁
@@hardhitt3r410 not click bait. Just a series where he trades his bike for another bike and gives his review on them.
Buyer backed out. Rsv4 is staying for a while
HELLL YEAH!!!!! Love my Gixxerator
Haha, love the nickname!
Everyone should donate 1$ so he can get another R1M and after every year do a bike give away with the donation 😂
😂
I have a 2004 Kawasaki zx10r street fighter. Best of both worlds.
Great content! You are the MAN!
what do you plan on getting after the rsv4
\
I have my r6
bossing! you need to try out the xsr900 22'/mt09 21'
I went from roanoke Virginia to Pigeon forge Tennessee on my gsx8s. I found I had to stop every hour or 60 to 70 miles. My ass got irritated as hell. Other than that, it's a kikass bike. 😊. My helmet tries to raise up off my head at about 85, too.
The r Has different front and rear shock as well, and the rides are completely different from the 8s because of that
I want to get the 8r for commuting and occasional weekend fun.
I really enjoy these trade bikes videos!
The bikes not really supposed to be aggressive though, thats why its upright. Definitely gonna feel weird coming from your naked/super sports.
True
I have 8s and shifter works great up and down on mine but I have nearly 3000 miles in it. Love the look of the 8r but I like naked bikes too much.
You guys ever announce these meetups? Or just friends? Would
Be cool to come to one! I’m in Portland tho
Has someone come out with lowered “clip ons/screw ons”?
Traded my Mt07 for a Z900. God, that inline 4 sound is 🔥🔥 lol
Absolutely love my 22' z900. Getting road6 tires put on tomorrow and cannot wait! What a fun bike.

Same class as the RS660?
You are comparing a 100hp, 183kg wet and ready to ride RS to a 83hp, 205kg GSX 8R...
Suspension is also upgraded on the 8R
Was that 8R with raised handlebars? I thought the R had much lower bars than the S
These are stock. 8S has even higher and wider handlebars
Come home to the Philippines during the summer and that Texas heat will feel like a refrigerator.
where do you guys ride at? I just got a bike and am looking for routes like this.
Bro really was advising him for 3hours😂😂😂I wonder if it was one topic
Need to try a ra660, if you was closer you can take mine out
Present Bro from the Philippines 🙋 Ride Safe
I'm back on a Suzuki when they ditch the stacked headlights. Really don't like that look.
They said the QS only works on upshift and not on downshift
Well... well... well... Is that Adobo Moto on a GSX??
The superduke and I would love to come cut it up with you guys. I'm 5 min from the shell. Let me know.
Hey where are those canyons at?
Thank god this so much better then the helmet crap
That’s silly. Helmets are awesome and a lot motorcycle riders appreciate great helmets. But i know I can’t please everyone, you like what you like
Almost bought one but the headlights are beyond ugly like why did they do they use such weird bulbs. It looks awful 😞
I don’t think being late is just a philo thing, I think it’s just the pacific are in general😂
The autoblip gets better once the engine gets more miles on it.
Love my Gixx-eight-ess!
Gsx8r would definitely be one of the best bikes in 2024
Noticed the bent clutch lever was 'fixed'. Pun intended
Omg bro you pulled a twins switcheroo on my bike?! 💀💀💀
love the riding skills
getting a first bike. cfmoto450ss or r7?
R7
As a Brit I forget how loud people in USA are. Not a criticism at all just an observation as really noticed on this video. Cool bike.

Why would you trade a 20k bike for a 9k bike brand new?
Would you recommend getting a sportbike with no bike experience in the slightest (bicycle, motorbike etc.) :3
