- Hey guys, for those of you who want the quick answer: It is underpowered for my liking. I am ready to get more power under me and go. The Yamaha Bolt is an amazing bike, but it was never my forever bike.

I love the sound of your exhaust -- just the right amount of burbling and popping.
Just put the packing back into the baffle. I wasn't too sure about it but I am glad you like it.
I own an MT09SP, it weighs about 420 lbs, I see the FTR weighs 514 lbs. Have you looked at a Triumph 765 Street Triple R or RS? Kawasaki Z900? When I consider the supersports, the cost of insurance is a huge factor in the decision process.
@@ac2-rm141 shit really? How does it work for sport bikes? Cc, hp?
Go for the mt09, I upgraded to a xsr900 (which is the same as an mt09 in a different trim) after owning a bolt as my fist road bike. It's excellent. The great torque lets you keep up with much "faster" bikes untill you're going way faster than you should be anyways.
Appreciate the comment man. I agree the toque in the bolt is shocking. I love it so much.
gave you a full view and a like brothaman put this as an extra comment to boost the engagement algo for you :)
Bro thank you so much. Ur a real one for that
Front brake single rotor 2 piston, rear single rotor single piston, ( aka typical 70 F : 30 R brake setting %'s ).
At 5252 rpm HP = Torque... So at say 5780 rpm, you are now pulling 65 ponies.
Top end 4th gear is 90 mph.... so a typical fast merge into traffic works best if you run up to 70 in fourth and then go to fifth.....
I digress.
Stay Safe
1, 2 piston front and 1, 1 piston rear is adequate (barely) for riding around but anything after that it’s just dangerous. However, it definitely doesn’t reach 65hp. At most this bike has 62. I’m not looking for the top end to be @90, but rather I just want some breathing room up there. Love this bike and it has some power but I’d say at least 40% of motorcycles have more power and I’d like to join that population.
you try modding it brotha? I wonder how much HP boost there is with an emissions delete + opening up the airbox and exhausts and remapping the ECU? For your next bike i HIGHLY recommend a supermoto. THE absolute most fun you can have on a bike and theyre soooo easy to control with your body. I have a husky 701 supermoto and its 2.7 0-60 with my mods. wheelies up to 60mph :D and goes offroad = cruises down the highway at 85-90 all day with power to spare up to 130
Damn thing sounds like it rips. Good looks. Are you running slicks on it for tires? Like the sick supermoto tires? I’ll have to try one out appreciate you
I have it fully tuned with super map. Air intake and exhaust. Ecu reflash and tune
@@skiprides8581 oh wow nice bro sounds like you had fun with it! Love it! Yeah definitely time for an upgrade then xD should help it sell y too and I run Michelin Anakee Adventures on it. The perfect tire if you do 50% on road and 50% off road. They feel almost like racing slicks on the road with how much they grip, and they can handle almost everything off road as well as a knobby aside from wet grass and mud (but they're surprisingly stable on both)
@@Merc399 neat looking tire. Like you said, I am surprised to learn they handle so well offroad - but glad they do brother. Thanks for the help, fr. Just need to consider my options
Look into the new Indian Scouts
They've always intrigued me. The new sport scout is more my speed. Idk if you saw, but they're making a limited sportier scout with RSD. Coming out soon
@@skiprides8581 You mean the Forged series? That's about 3 people (brands) that make a special version of the scout. Indian did that also when the Sport Chief was released.
@@kur3922 damnit, yes I do mean that. RSD looks to be making something sweet but I realize I won't be able to purchase it... :(
@@skiprides8581 well, perhaps someday it can be bought. Don't know for which purpose they build it now. Past time it was for someone in particular... 🤞🏻😉
