Hi Tardy, the bike shop just changed the OEM steering head bearing for an Allball pin. Still have the deadwobble. Before the replacement the handlebar shakes in range of 70-80 and after mounted the Allball pin it shakes in the range of 85-95 (I guess). Did not try it a lot of times for my safety. I think there are a lot of reasons why bikes have a deadwobble. I’ve readed: tires, tire pressure, fork mounted out of ballance, bar end weight, using a t-bar (the higher rising the more wobble), construction of the bike etc. My next step is bar end weights.

You may want to look into a steering stabilizer. That’s what my friend runs on his and he loves it.

Bought a bolt 2 weeks ago and got the bassani sweeper exhaust. It sounds amazing but before you buy, consider the fact that its REALLY loud.

Their stock seat amazingly comfortable and low low, I loves it

Weird, you published this just about the same time I searched "yamaha bolt mods". Good stuff, but don't forget - if you replace your intake and exhaust, a tune is in order.

Definitely will need a tune after, thanks for watching dude!

I've never had the death wobble on mine. But, I did have the tires changed to some high end Metzelers. Love the content and I pretty much agree with everything you said. However, I changed out my exhaust with a Cobra slip on and intake. Had to get an ECU to map the fuel. Other than that, love the bolt. If I can figure out how to get a sixth gear on it I will recommend that too.

Hey Tardy, I have a V&H slip on and Saddlemen on my 14 bolt and was thinking of getting an intake for it because I agree. The loaf of bread is bothering me by it's looks and it gets in the way of my leg. Would I need to run a power commander for it? Or can I just run Ivan's tune? Great video man keep it up!

@Tardy_Productions

Personally I would get the intake and see how bad the popping is and also see if the engine seems to be running poorly. That being said, you will more than likely have to get a tuner. One of the next build videos will involve me installing a dyne tuner so at least when the time comes, you will have a video to help you.haha thanks for the support!!

@@Tardy_Productions for sure Tardy thanks for the advice man, what you do with the bolt is awesome. I know this thing doesn't have as much of an aftermarket support system like sportsters do so your videos inspire bolt owners like me. Keep up the great work bro, too bad these bikes leak oil when you try wheeling em, but I love my bolt. Never rode a sportster or dyna but I have heard of people trading them for bolts and being really happy with em. I'll be on the lookout for the dyno jet install as well as future bolt content 🤘

Has peg kit to ,move pegs forward 6-9". Has tpms, temps, quick shifter, cruise controll?? . Like most other, that are cheaper ?

Hey, do you suggest changing the head steering barren on the 2020 R-Spec as well. Not sure what year model you were referring to, or do current models need same mod

@Tardy_Productions

3 жыл бұрын

go about 30mph, let go of the bars and see if there is a head shake. I would assume there is due to them just being different colors. I would recommend getting it changed or wait until I do it to mine so you can see how exactly it would be done. Good question though!

This video is exactly what I needed. Thankyou. I recently got a bolt. Second bike ever. First one was a 250 rebel had it for 4 months and upgraded to the bolt 💀 my only complaint is that I was able to be way more aggressive around corners with my tiny rebel. but with my bolt I literally have to turn the bars like a bicycle at stop signs and such or my foot pegs will scrape the road.
