@@ryanzone3675 Thanks Ryan. I kept her in low gear mostly to keep my speeds in check and not bottom out/over ride the suspension. Honestly I wish the bike had another gear so first could be lower, but there was plenty of torque to just raise the front wheel over sharp edges, potholes, by just blipping the throttle.

Sorry to be pedantic, but that is not an H1. The last model of the H1 was the H1F which came out in 1975. The 1976 model was named the KH500. It had significantly less power than the H1 models.

@@worldofameiso5491 and I could also say the H1’s are not really H1’s but Mach lll’s as that’s what the side cover say lol. But here’s an interesting tidbit for you, the ‘76 KH 500 vin number starts of with “H1F”. So it’s a castrated H1F that the power is regained by removing the intake snorkel, rejetting, and freeing up the exhaust. It’s the same H1F engine attached to the newer transmission. But seriously, it doesn’t matter as long as we keep enjoying them.

I had a KH500, which was ported to the extreme, perhaps too much, as it had nothing whatsoever below 3,000 RPM when pulling away from a standstill. However, I do recall the alternative method of regaining the lost performance from the earlier models was to fit pistons with shorter skirts. My own bike was very powerful when in the upper rev ranges but it was an absolute pain to ride in town. Better to go with the shorter pistons, snorkel removal and upjetting. I had a pair of Koni shocks at the back and preloaded the front springs with a couple of bits of old cut up handlebar. Ohlins it certainly was not ! I'm not sure whether the gearbox internal ratios were changed from those of the first models. I do recall my bike, fitted with an OE fitment 16 tooth front sprocket was showing 110 MPH bang on the red line in top gear, wheras I've seen several tests of earlier bikes, even down to the H1E and H1F which showed nigh on 120 MPH at the red line. I do recall being pretty gutted at the lost top speed, albeit my tuned bike got there very rapidly. Best regards from Wales.

@@AG.89T it took a lot of thinking whether to paint or powder coat the engine guard. For the use of these bikes and the likelihood of being on its side, or peppered by rocks off road, I decided that painting was the best choice as it would be easy to touch up on the bike. Not so with powder coating. I washed the guards off with soap and water to degrease them. Then I hung them up and heated them up with a heat gun. While they were warm, I sprayed them with Krylon satin black. 1,100 miles and still look great. If need be, it’s quick to mask off the bike, then touch up the paint without having to remove the guards.

@charliestoybox2099 2 ай бұрын
@@paulwiedeman4628 Hi Paul. More important than height is your inseam when it comes to reaching the ground. My inseam is 30”, I wish it was 32” lol. I’ve been riding and racing for over 40 years, so taller bikes aren’t an issue for me to adjust to. If you have any dirtbike experience, you will already be used to side shifting your bum to get a foot down on the ground. I’d definitely suggest throwing a leg over the XE before buying to see how comfortable you’d feel with the height. One thing to remember is that the showroom height is going to be lower than the height once you set up your preload properly. At 163 in my birthday suit, I added ten turns of preload to the front, and zero preload to the rear. That extra preload raised the ride height even more. Good luck on your new bike decision and to a lifetime of enjoying motorcycles.
