You need to take off that stupid long tail in the back. Yamaha makes an oem tail tidy for this 1st. Gen
@@Pettington someone else’s issue now.
@@sixthisoverdrive oh😂 no mt or xsr should not be legal to leave the dealership without a tail tidy install 😅
It’s $2300 now. Big difference. Disappointed.
very nice & gd review👍👍
Thank you.
It’s $2300 now . 😢
Alright, Sir. I am in the market as it were and your video came up. I know it's an oldie but these things never really die when good bikes last as long as they do. I'm on a 08 vstrom 650 and I feel the need for something....more. For one at 13kms and about 6k, would you still consider this a good option? I am not entirely up on all the bikes out there but this one tickles a certain fancy. Any thoughts? Thanks so much from Edmonton. Go Oilers!
Excellent review, thank you. I need a bike for work and this one is looking good. I'll have to assemble it myself, but Biktrix has a good vid for that.
Good job
Good review, I have exact same machine. Only one point I'd disagree on. Too be honest I think it should NOT have the capacity to turn it on via a phone from remote location. Many people put a few bits of kit in there smoker, equipment bits, it's cold, your done, put a few bits inside, cover it over. Just finishing work? Oh I'll turn the Treiger on, will be hot when I get home. It's so easy to leave something inside, totally forget. Hence I think it's vital "you are there on site" to turn it on. I have mine linked to my phone mine is also linked to my neighbours phone. Pak, do me a favour, nip into my garden turn my Traeger on. It's no great hardship. Different point of view that's all. Once again great review. Personally I think it's worth the m on eh to buy the higher grade insulated option. I get next to zero temperature fluctuation. Next to zero! Regards
looks gross… didn’t cook it long enough, need coals on both sides, don’t need burlap . lol
You are correct.
Suspension, easy fix, on the front shoks one turn to right, on the rear add two or three clicks. Hay issue solve 190 - 250lb rider settings, tested by me and my son. We both love it, all suspensions issue gone. Love the Rebell adjustable feature.
The cahkes is that fron tire, i chage it and is solid
Ninja 1000sx. great bike
There's 2 screws loose
I’m 174 cm and 74kg and the ergonomics are spot on, a very comfy bike. The powerful motor is fantastic and has a lot of character with an induction roar like a banshee, The worst thing is the rear shock, it’s far too stiff for my weight. There should be a handlebar mounted switch to toggle between the different info on the dash. The front end gets a little bit twitchy when you let the motor rip.
Thanks for your input
Seriously who is using a cruise control?! Maybe my grandpa? Even on my car I don't use it... The good choice between these two bikes would be more about engine...
I put on pretty straight roads, where you don’t have curves for 100s of miles. This makes the a huge difference.
Think Twice Before Buying a Traeger! kzread.info/dash/bejne/k2eB3M1ygcbTmdo.html
Buddy 5/16 and 3/8 are very very far from each other 😂🤣 that's a hell of a difference
No arguing. I don’t trust myself with mechanics. Thanks for watching.
I agree with you. It is of course a personal choice. I own the ninja.
Nice.
I purchased my 2014 Valkyrie new. Amazing piece of machinery, engineering and comfort. I never felt unsafe, wet or dry, extremely capable antilock brakes and power up the wazoo. I sold it to a retired test pilot. I never used 1st gear, it was too low. I put his back out pulling a wheelie on the test ride. He told ne he hasn't felt those gas since he retired. I am sad I sold it, it was #0000006 off the line. Hondas for ever.
We missing you bro
I was thinking of trying to get back. Thanks for the encouragement.
4:14 There really is more to be said about windshields. The fact that they relieve pressure on the neck and shoulders while driving on the highway and prevent the body from cooling down certainly contributes to driving comfort. But windshields undeniably cause turbulence. Driving in clean air is indeed less noisy than in turbulence - but the most silent is being in no air flow at all. So turbulence itself is not the problem, it's turbulence around the helmet. The solution in my opinion is not to get rid of your shield, but to find one that minimizes turbulence around your helmet. That may be a bit of a search and it's good to realise there is no perfect solution. In the end it comes down to what's the best compromise.
Great bike and great review. I won’t lie and say that if I shut my eyes….I’m hearing Kermit? 😂
Nah, I'll take my windshield with my half or 3/4 helmet. Full face helmets just make everything except the stuff you need to hear loud.
i own a fjr the best yamaha tourer, stupid fast shaft drive upside sitting mine is a 2002 love has 50,000miles
Great review brother from the north! Appreciate the thorough review.
If that was a GoPro . It would of stop recording already
Go H-D! This is a great looking bike.
Too much gabbing on, and on, not enough minute by minute tech talk about the bike during the ride. Thumbs down from me.
Maybe you should try fort 9 or something professional. Thanks for watching
@sixthisoverdrive nice comeback! It was a friendly, critcrique. Have a good one!
Test ride,not drive.😂
07:40 aintnoway it's 80 bucks in canadialand I paid 500 euro for a double pack on sale the other week to give to my brother (and myself hehe) as a birthday gift for when we're out in the snow, and his buddy we often ride with has a cardo something that he likes 💀 Edit: oh I just finished the video and heard you saying 80 bucks more, that makes a little more sense
Yeah…it’s 600 Canadian.
I have a black 2014 myself. It came with a full size windshield which doesn't look the greatest, and I hated it upon delivery, but now I wouldn't be without it. Keeps the bugs off me and reduces turbulence on long rides. And it's a monster. People have NO idea how fast it is. Honda should have put a 6th gear on this bike and that's one of the most frequently made complaints about the bike. Many don't like the quietness of this bike, but I do. I think it has a perfect exhaust note. If you want noise, buy a Harley. Think I spotted an F6B there at the end!
Thanks for the opinion of an owner.
Can you do a comparison of rebel 1100and streetbob 114?
Probably not, as we no longer have a Harley Davidson here. I have ridden them as I was going to buy one (not the 114), and they feel like a much more substantial than the Honda. I also think they are much better looking.
Where does the oxygen come from once pig is covered?
Good question. Not a clue…but it turned out pretty well.
is 20.000 - 30.000km considered a lot of km's? i'm looking to buy one of these as my first bike (used) and for a car 30.000km is nothing but i have no knowledge about bike mileage
I don’t think 30,000kms for a bike is a lot. He’s Canadian like myself, most of us ride for pure pleasure maybe 6months a year (due to winter) so the mileage is low. If you look at England, some guys ride year round and will put 100,000 miles (160,000 kms) on a bike before it’s retired.
👍🏽👌👍🏻
I've had my 2015 FJ09 for 7 years and 80,000 K+. I did have the engine rebuilt early this year, my fault for a mistake adjusting the valves. I considered the Tracer 9 GT+, but my 2015 already has all the upgrades. suspension, seat, windshield, ECU, brakes and exhaust. Other than ABS and traction control, it's all manual and I wouldn't change a thing. I daily commute on it, but have also taken it on some long trips. Yours is the best video of its kind I've seen.
Thanks…I try! There is not a whole lot of difference from the first fj’s and the new gt’s.
Hi. Can you elaborate on your valve adjustment mistake and the consequences?
Hey! Is the xsr still going strong?
It’s someone else’s strong bike.
Did you try beer chicken? I smoked a turkey with 2 cans of a stout beer. It was amazing. I lost my traegar in a divorce so.. if I had a choice between my house, car and wife, or the Traegar, I’d definitely take the Traegar. Yeah, it’s that good!
I have not tried the “beer” poultry. One day soon hopefully.
@@sixthisoverdrive you won’t be disappointed
thanks for putting time making this video
Excellent and honest review ❤
I'm an XSR 900 2020 owner and it's the best choice i've ever made. This man explains so well how this bike works! 1 year, and I already go to the garage, and its undescriptable every day I see it. Ofc a localizer in it. Buy this bike guys. No problems. Manutention like every big bike. Yamaha never fail.
Thanks for weighing in.
the later fmf has bracket welded to it so easy just hard to slip muffler pipe in the right spot
Great video, I’m originally from BC, now living in the Ottawa Valley. I just got a 2022 Tracer 9 GT, I guess the next generation. Not a bad bike, I just got off a big touring bike, 2014 Kawasaki Vaquero, wasn’t quite my style of bike. The tracer is the best of both worlds sporty and bags for commuting and touring. I will have to check out Northern Ontario on the bike, I’ve driven it and it was beautiful but I was rushed. Thanks for the video, Canada has some great sites, huge distances lol.
I bought the slim. I put it in my helmet not expecting much. Well at first I was disappointed. Until I put the spacers in and experimented then I feel I have something. Louder than my 150$ earbuds that is used by musicians and audiophiles. There is base. So is it good 👍 yes it is. So your review here in this video i feel is not accurate. Not sure what you were thinking this day or your setup but it is pretty stellar. Could it be better, sure! Is it worthy of JBL name - yes.
I still have mine and they still work. My problem is probably no windshield, but honestly, although it was the best I still was disappointed. Thanks for weighing in.
Very qualified and practical review of this bike. Thank you.
I may go on a trip after the weekend. I’ll see if I can do a video after that.
MPORTANT QUESTION FOR YOU: Just rode the CB1000R and loved it except for one huge flaw: Turn the handlebars a few degrees and all of the sudden it ''falls off the table", dives, it's like a GIANT hand reaches and hard pullls your damm wheel!! I suspect the CB650 is the same as it doesn't have a damper either. Please, please, please, tell me that the Triumph "doesn't" pull this crap!!
So rn i have the ninja 650 and I tested both of those bikes 2023 the ninja gave me an safe feeling what I already comfortable with but the tracer I loved the way I sat and I still cant decide witch one… I want to ride more but the ninja1000 gave me the experience that I was riding a motorcycle (fastness) CAN SOMEONE HELP ME
With these 2 I would pick the style and ergos you want. Performance wise and budget wise are pretty close. If you have a passenger I would go tracer.
Just wanted to know you had it right with the tires being the cause of the shaking. Impresive hindsight given you only rode it for a little bit, it shows you have great experience. I have a 500 and looking to upgrade, as a "modern" cruiser buyer for me this bike has appeal because I am not much of a HD and Indian culture fan, I am not into old biker chrome everywhere stuff, but I do like the look of cruisers, and this has it with a more modern bobber flavor to it. I guess we cruiser buyers or at least me, choose this types of bikes knowing full well that sport bikes are sportier and sport touring bikes are better at touring but we choose cruisers for the look and the flair, lets face it, must of us bikers have bikes as toys and we appreciate them and we buy things we are attracted to. Anyhow, I do agree it would be great if we started getting better tech and capabilities on cruisers, we do need better standards, theres expensive cruisers without ABS which is crazy, I think Honda did good here shaking things up a bit in the class
Thanks for weighing in.
Bullshit. do it all bike goes to the Suzuki.
Live Oak and Hickory or even Pecan are the best smoking woods to use
You're stupid.
