  Great video gentlemen. I just installed the clip ons yesterday and your video helped a lot. Install was honestly pretty easy. One thing I will add about the triple tree clamp cover. Although the fit was very tight for the cover to go on, if it’s placed on there straight & level and both sides are pushed down equally by hand… it goes down effortlessly, no mallet required. For others planning on installing these clip ons: A good practice is to take pictures of what things looked like before disassembly. That helped a lot with reassembly of the clutch side being a little more complicated with more parts involved. Cheers

Thanks again for the feedback, enjoy your clip-ons.

  I'm in the UK and we are limited to a 125cc before a test, but currently have a streetfighter nut&bolt rebuilt 2001 Aprilia RS125 that I think is a touch under 40hp But I'm looking at this as my next bike. This thing only weighs under 115kg and as a RPM enthusiast, I've loved ringing the neck of the 2 stroke like I do my little ol' civic Type-R EP3. Our roads and environments are *VASTLY* different, where no road is even half as wide as the ones you are riding on, and everything has camber going left right backwards and changing seasons mid day, but I'm thinking with responsible riding, *even this* could be ridden in poor conditions of wet and rain etc, as many other bikes here. There's a huge riding culture, that I just don't know of yet. Anyway, not sure of where I am going with this. Thanks for the videos! I've watched a few of yours about this bike and and it looks like a cool journey! (My italian friend jumped from the same bike(he sold to me) to a tuned R1000RR with 220bhp and his brother has a another one making 210bhp, and he's still alive and getting really good at riding 9 months later, even in our wet weather AND while riding through our british winter almost every week. So it is possible to ride big power!) But a caveat, that helps is, if you come from having decades of driving experience and even cartrackday experience and racing knowledge, the bike journey has been so very interesting and really quite unnaturally fast!

However, not always. We all know that 40 year old that still acts like they are 20. If you are mature and know you are responsible, there is nothing wrong with starting on an XSR700 or 900.

  @MyWifesBoyfriend-pp8kq10 күн бұрын

  I’m a firm believer in that just about anyone capable of passing the MSF can throw a leg over any motorcycle and be perfectly fine, with the biggest stipulation being that they physically fit the bike. That being said, I absolutely would not recommend someone do that. That first bike will probably end up on its side at some point, and a 2-5k beater is going to hurt you emotionally way less than that beautiful 11k XSR. As a new rider, it’s hard to tell you’re at your limit until you’re way beyond, like when you first start drinking. Bigger bikes can bring you to that point much faster. Those two points really aren’t that serious, but something to be aware of. My biggest reason for not recommending it is that it steals a lot of enjoyment from motorcycling. Moving up on bikes is a blast, and being able to confidently operate one helps you appreciate the power. If you start out on a liter bike, you’re just cheating yourself out of one of the most exciting parts of the sport.

• 
  @ridewithKY10 күн бұрын

  I should have dove into further detail regarding the size of the rider in the video. You are right about that. If you physically fit the bike, that will help tremendously with confidence. You surely can dump your first bike. But, you also could not. Two sides to that coin, but I see your point about dumping a 5k bike is better than wadding up a 10k bike. It is harder to tell what your limit is when you are new. That is a true statement. However, as a new rider, should you be even trying to figure that out? Probably not. I don’t agree that starting on a larger bike takes the joy out of motorcycling across the board. For some it will, certainly. But I don’t think that’s everyone. If you’ve had some fast cars, a 70 hp is probably not going to excite you much. But hey, everybody is different. Thanks for sharing, good and reasonable perspective even though we don’t necessarily agree on all points.

  The best test of this position is to loan your own 900 to a brand new rider. I’m 36 and started riding last summer. Bought a used 300 and had no issues with traffic and it helped to learn the basics of ACTUALLY riding outside the msf course. And a 300/400/500 keeps you from destroying your new 10k bike with one unfortunate whiskey throttle. Buy a used small displacement bike. You can often sell it for the same price you bought it for (or close) a year later when you have gotten used to the more nuanced parts of riding. Take that money and put it towards the second bike, of which an XSR900 is great for. XSR900as a first bike is beyond stupid.

  I’m very glad you mentioned this. I did you one better. I loaned both my Panigale V2 and my RSV4 to a beginner rider. Both of those bikes are way faster than an XSR900. Guess what? They were returned safely. Would I loan my bikes to any beginner rider? No. It is all dependent on the individual rider. The beginner rider I loaned my bikes to is very responsible and has advanced knowledge of auto racing. That’s the caveat. Sorry man, your I got you moment didn’t work out. 😂. I had a 400cc motorcycle. If the flow of traffic is 85+ mph. You will be placed in dangerous situations. Again, doesn’t mean that is everyone’s situation. It is all dependent on the individual. Your situation with the used 300 worked out for you and that’s fantastic. Not everybody has the knowledge to find and purchase a good used motorcycle. Not everybody is you. You have that old FUDD mentality. “It worked for me, so it’ll work for everybody else.”

  @@ridewithKY no, you’re “gotcha” moment is flawed. In the grand scheme of things, almost no one has advanced knowledge of auto racing. On top of that your beginner stages shouldn’t be taking place on the interstate where traffic can flow 85+. The interstate is a bad place for a new rider. The fact that you only loaned your fast bikes to “advanced” drivers shows that your wrong from the get go. What you’re doing is telling new riders that practicing the fundamentals doesn’t matter and you should immediately go get a bike with a power/weight ratio of a hellcat with none of the safety features. Not to mention the fact that everyone at some point will drop their bike and it’s way more likely to happen when you’re new. Better to drop a cheap 400 than a 10k 900.

Plenty of people have started on high HP bikes and lived and eventually get decent at riding but a large enough number of them end up destroying their first bike or hurting themselves to ignore it too.

Do not buy from a dealership as a new rider...do not finance anything...I love my 23 XSR900, but if I got this bike as someone who had zero riding experience, rider aids or not and being older and more "mature", it is still too much bike imo.

  It certainly is a financial risk. But so is buying a “beginner bike”, whatever that really means. In your situation you got your money back, which is fantastic. However, I think we can both agree that’s the exception and not the rule. Speaking in such broad terms like “do not buy from a dealership” and “do not finance anything” is problematic as well. Sometimes it’s not appropriate to buy from a dealer and other times it is. If you have no mechanical knowledge and have no idea what you are looking at when shopping for a used bike, you are definitely better off buying new from a dealer. What if the manufacturer has 0% financing? In that case you may be better off financing. In your case this bike is too fast to start on and that is OK. Nothing wrong with that at all. My issue is these absolute statements that these types of bikes are just not possible for beginners to start on. I started on a bike way faster than this XSR and had zero issues. Again, that’s just my experience, but won’t be everybody’s. Appreciate you sharing.

For a new rider, I feel that is just setting them in a financial dilemma when they might want to sell a bike since they learn riding is not for them, but you are under $3-4K on a bike you purchased a few months prior. This is America, we could go start on a brand new H2 and nobody could tell us anything 🏍

  The dealer fee’s are ridiculous. You are absolutely right about that. The bike starts at $5900 and then quickly becomes $8300 by the time you leave. 😂😂😂.

  @@ridewithKY 117 horsepower before you even understand counter steering? What more is there to say. You'll reply "I know x person who started on a 900 and they were fine!". Sure, they got lucky. That's it. They got lucky. It wasn't a good beginner bike. It wasn't a good choice. They took a risk and thankfully didn't pay the cost of it. That doesn't mean it wasn't a risk. You are at a radically higher risk of a fatality in your first six months of riding. Get something with 40 horsepower and give yourself some time to learn. Also, it's a HUGE disservice to go around convincing people you need 100+ hp to have fun on two wheels. A "beginner bike" is still a fun motorcycle. And it's not a financial burden. You can buy one used and sell it used and barely lose any money in-between all while saving a bucket on insurance and reducing your risk of dying while you learn this new hobby. I'm just sick of all these youtubers coming out with radically more clickbait videos pushing the envelope on what they can claim is a "viable beginner bike". You occupy a public platform. You influence people. Any moron 18 year old can hear something like this, finance a mt09-sp tomorrow from a dealer, and go wide at 140 on a freeway corner and become a statistic. Ffs.

  So after a certain amount of horsepower, it hinders you from counter steering? I’m not using anecdotes here, I cited resources and studies which show there is no clear correlation. Doesn’t mean there isn’t nuance there like with any study, but the numbers are the numbers. I had a 40 hp bike and it wasn’t my first bike. It wasn’t fun. Doesn’t mean it won’t be fun for everyone, as every rider is different. If you’ve had some fast cars, a 40 hp motorcycle typically isn’t going to be that exciting. You are speaking in absolutes here when discussing a very complicated topic. A beginner can also buy a used ninja 400 in poor mechanical condition because they didn’t know what they were looking at. Then jump on the freeway and do 105 mph with 19 psi of air in their tires. In that scenario they would also become a statistic. In your example and mine, it goes back to the rider making poor decisions. These bikes don’t go 140 mph on their own.

  @@ridewithKY I didn't say horsepower stops counter steering. But it sure as shit becomes important to actually understand how to steer a motorcycle when you can go from 40-100 in 2 seconds with a twist of your wrist. As it happens beginners are, indeed, still learning how to steer. That's why they're beginners, dude. They don't understand the most basic stuff. They're getting down the simplest forms of muscle memory for controlling these machines. You're setting people up for failure. The last thing a total beginner needs when trying to remember which lever is the front brake is to accidently loop the bike because they didn't practice perfect throttle discipline and aren't used to leaning forward when the power comes on. And sure, maybe you think 40hp is boring. I guarantee most beginners are fucking thrilled just to be on two wheels and are already experiencing a power to weight ratio that smokes 90% of cars. But if you absolutely need a 2.8 second 0-60 just to stay awake and have no respect for taking the time necessary to learn a complex skill like riding a motorcycle then you sound like the type of person who just isn't responsible enough for this and should stick to 4 wheels.

  @monawoka97 if you are a beginner then why are you going from 40-100 in 2 seconds? That’s poor decision making and has nothing to do with the machine. A 40hp motorcycle will definitely not smoke 90% of cars out there. Not sure if that last statement about not being responsible to even operate a vehicle with 4 wheels was necessarily directed at me. If it was I can tell you I’ve had some very fast cars and motorcycles. Never wadded em up because I acted responsibly. I am in no way a perfect person, but being responsible can take you a long ways when piloting high performance machines. Sorry man, you are wrong.

  Yes this bike has many safety features and that is great for all riders but I think most people should learn on something that limits the cost they pay when they make a poor decision. No one who rides does it to do the speed limit all day everyday. We all have fun within our limits but new riders don’t have the experience with these machines ie clutch gas brake control to accurately judge their limit. Confidence will grow quicker than actual skill and that is the reason it’s a pretty common practice to limit the machine. A ninja 400 or big torquey v twin will get to passing speed plenty quick and these days most bikes come with plenty of safety features. Yeah everyone wants to be on the cool bike that sounds awesome and has tons of power for having fun but Rome wasn’t built in a day. A new rider isn’t going to be able to enjoy this anymore than they’d enjoy something with two cylinders if they have self control and don’t plan on being reckless ever they probably won’t even be considering something like this. You don’t buy a sports car to do 55. We all like being confident in our own abilities doesn’t mean we should be.

  Confidence will grow quicker than actual skill. Is this true for everybody? And how do you know this? Data? I had a 400 and at least in the US, that is not a safe amount of power to operate on the freeway. That 400 also wasn’t my first bike. I started on a bike way faster than this XSR and magically didn’t die. Almost as if the bike will only go as fast as you tell it to go. Speaking in a lot of absolutes here. Some people do buy sports cars to do 55. Some people buy sports cars to just sit in a garage. Not something I would do, but that’s up to the owner. We can’t think of a complicated subject like this with such broad statements.

  @@ridewithKY “The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people with limited competence in a particular domain overestimate their abilities”. A modern 400cc bike can achieve speeds higher than 110mph anything over 85 is enough to get you a nice ticket and possibly a reckless driving charge so not sure how a 400 isn’t safe for the interstate. I will make the same argument you made do you have data to back that up? I am aware plenty of people have started out on large bikes and not died but that’s not what you’re claiming. Is it the best beginner bike I have stated my reasoning as to why I don’t believe so if you think people’s skills will develop the same no matter the size of the bike I would have to say that is nothing more than opinion and there is no study supporting either side of that coin. The major consensus from expert level riders is to start smaller and work your way up I could if you like go find quotes of experts saying this but at the end of the day without data it is a matter of opinion. I just trust one more than the other.

  @offlinemve5054 data was provided in the video… Said in the video it may be appropriate for some and not for others. Never said it’s the best beginner bike. You are wrong, sorry. Some 400’s can achieve speeds of 110 mph, but it takes forever. You are almost topping the bike out just keeping up with the flow of traffic depending on where you live. Some areas flow of traffic may be 55-65 mph. Other areas 85+. There’s always nuance.

I don’t believe it’s a good beginner bike which is what you’re arguing. I still stand by everything I said so 🤷🏻‍♂️ not sure how fast you’re thinking people need to go on the interstate but I used to cruise on my 50hp vulcan just fine even out in the emptier state routes where flow was faster when I was learning to ride.

  @offlinemve5054 I don’t think you need data to know that if the flow of traffic is 85 and your bike absolutely maxes out at 105 mph (some 400’s can’t even go this fast), that’s not a safe scenario to be in. Do you need me to pull the data to tell you Afghanistan is not a safe place to vacation? Just looked closer at your KZread account. You are commenting on safety but have a stanced LS400? LOL.

  Potentially, but let’s be real. Has that ever really happened before? Whenever you’ve heard of a family member, friend, friend of a friend, etc. get into a motorcycle collision; have you ever heard them say it was because they hit a bump and they accidentally throttled up? The cause is almost always from doing something stupid.
