    Daily Gixxer rider here, love the jokes about gixxer bros! Keep them coming - and these bikes are quintessence of quite cheap yet reliable (if maintenance window wasn't neglected) machines. Yes, they do lack many driving nannies, yes they try to kill you on each corner but all in all it's really rewarding when you can push it to it's limits once you figure it out.

    I always use hair spray to put grips on it makes them slide on really easy and then when it dries it stays where it is meant to. Also Gixer riders can use the rest of the can on their hair.

  • @impulse_guy_22
    @impulse_guy_22 12 годин тому

    pro tip: now that you have a kuif and a gixxer (even for 72 hours), you obviously have some hairspray too. Spray the throttle tube and inside of grip with hairspray, then just slide it on. The hairspray is slippery when wet (oooeeeer!!!) but dries like glue, as we can all see by your anti-gravity hair.
    (jokes aside..hairspray also works, and quite well...for hair and grips)

    but you can change the lenght of those rods. take that link out on the left (or right) side, adjust it. support the bike so you can swap out the right (or left) link, adjust that one and put that one back on the other side.
    they have a limited amount of adjustment and remember, keep 1,5x the diameter turned in or it might brake.

Also he lives in a housing complex / apartment and they can be very shitty when it comes to working on your vehicle in the parking lot. Ask how I know.
