    A tip for better lighting, you can adjust the bulb up and down with a phillips head on the sides of the headlight. Mine was adjusted way down and was horrible at night. Simply adjusting it up took care of that. I have a C50 but this looks identical.

      No. Just going from memory as many of them are the same, it t's one or two screws to take the edge of the headlight off, then there's a thing that holds it in place that's another two or three screws, then it just twists out and unplugs

    Only ever owned sport bikes and still currently do but the M50 is tempting! Just not sure about throwing around all that weight especially in a less forward seating position. Harley 48 and Indian scouts are nice but would rather this bike hands down, love the shaft drive over chain and belts. Only 5 months a year to ride up north so we’ve gotta take care of our 2 wheeled babies! Love the video! Wouldn’t have ever suspected any of these mods. So used to the typical sport bike mods. Edit: Benefit of better fuel mileage and using regular instead of premium!

    I had a 2008 one year. Vance and hines pipes, k and n stock replacement filter, cant remeber what tuner it was, mustang seat, and led light bulb...also I did get metzler tires put on, and thicker oil in the front forks, it truely was a night and day difference in performance. For what it was in stock form, which was crap, all of those mods made it a very responsive bike. I love the M109, and almost got one, but it sold so i bought a fat bob...lol

    The headlight housing and bulb need to work with one another. Usually a halogen housing can not properly focus led or xenon bulbs. You run a risk of blinding on coming traffic. Proper led/xenon projectors have a crisp cut off line in top for that reason. It doesn't matter if it's just a little bit brighter when the light is not focused correctly.

    • @YouMotorcycle
      @YouMotorcycle  Рік тому

      Thing is, it's not just a little bit brighter, it's literally a night and day difference. Is it as efficient as it could be if the housing was made for it? No, probably not, but still miles improved over stock, and with the right bulb, won't blind oncoming traffic.

    Put a Stage 3 kit in my '97 VZ800, changed the sprockets fore and aft, and added a nice little X-ring chain, among a few other things. Doesn't get the same mileage as stock, but it has plenty of power and a nice comfortable band in which to use it on the highway at 70-80mph. I can only imagine what a little M50 would do with those mods.

    I have a C50, a 2007. Love it but can't stand the positioning of the speedo. I wonder if the gauge on the M50 will plug into the C50? Or at least work with some wiring. I look at bikes from the 70's and 80's that have speedo, rpm, full temp gauge and more. Today you get a speedo and a gas gauge if you're lucky. Not to mention I've noticed on my C50 that past 40 mph the speedo reads 5 mph faster compared to an app on my phone, it's accurate i also compared to my car.

      You're adding more air intake, without adding more fuel, or letting more air out. I don't know if it will necessary give any benefits. If you do try it out, I would recommend checking your spark plugs first, taking a picture, and then checking your spark plugs again after a thousand miles and see what they tell you. Smarter people who are more familiar than me about these bikes might know have better input than me though.

It's no good for me when i finally get my rider's licence i will be in a trial period that lasts 2 years. If you violate ANY traffic law during that period and get caught your licence will be gone and you have to do something thats called the "idiot test" or MPU. After 2 years you'll get "points" and when you accumulated 8 points your licence is gone too. An illigal exhaust would be at least 4 points and a hefty fine to give an example.

Just puncturing a narrow hole to let a little more sound out shouldn't have negative impacts. If you think about the way an aftermarket exhaust is (open all the way through), the stock pipe with a hole punched through the plates will still have more backpressure to the engine than aftermarket pipes will, and no one worries too much about losing power when putting those on.
