2 weeks of riding and I still can’t wrap my head around rev matching when downshifting lol it’s crazy how effortless it looks to other people. Getting better at launching at least.
@lIlIllIlIllIlllIllIIIIIIIIIlII 18 күн бұрын
You give a blip of throttle before letting out the clutch. Ignore the numbers, it's just as example: When you go down from 3rd (6000rpm) to 2nd, the bike might jump to 8000 rpm who knows by you giving a small amount (blip) of throttle you are now already at higher RPMS so they're like "aligned" The worse of a rev match job you did, the more engine braking you will probably encounter I think So if you see down shifts are going smoother with less force pushing you back (engine brake?) ur getting better
@lIlIllIlIllIlllIllIIIIIIIIIlII 18 күн бұрын
And the lower the gear the bigger that blip might be I'm not sure. It's possible gear 1 needs way more blip than 5

@@kevlarcs8910 yeah. Blipping to downshift is one of the trickier parts of riding. How much throttle you need depends on several factors--speed, gear, and rpm. Keep practicing and you'll get the hang of it. Something that you could try is to find a road that you can maintain a certain speed, and practice up shifting and down shifting while maintaining that speed. Hopefully it works for several gears, and you can go from 4th to 5th to 6th and back down.

@@victorkaplansky congrats. It is a great "little" bike. It'll be difficult, but I usually recommend following the manufacturer's break in instructions. 4k rpm for the 1st part of break in is the hardest part. 6k for the 2nd part isn't too bad since you can ride at highway speeds in most places--about 65 mph in 6th gear.

I always find it so weird when people say "yeah not a big engine" and be riding a 500cc like nothing when in my country there are mostly 125cc to 200cc as most sold. Then yeah I think it must be cool to have that a basic.
@ChristopherNinja500SE Ай бұрын
@@originalpollution thanks for the reply. Yeah I guess here in the US and some other countries a "500" cc engine is considered small. I find it fun and more than capable of doing anything that I need to do. It is quicker than most cars if you rev it out. And with a top speed over 120 mph it is plenty fast. I like how light and nimble it is, and 60 mpg is a nice bonus as well.

This looks like a nice road with great scenery. I know action cameras never seem to capture the true scale of a scene. Arizona is definitely some place I would like to ride at some point. I’ve been there a handful of times, but I’ve never ridden a bike there. I like that you mention the road conditions and where one can expect more road debris. I always appreciate that kind of information if I’m considering riding on a new route. The standard aspect ratio for KZbin is 16:9. If you’re using a GoPro you can change your lens setting to either “wide” or “superview” to capture a greater area. I typically use “superview”. Also, if you’re using a GoPro be sure whichever mic you get has a TRS connector and I highly recommend using a “dead cat” on the mic to help cut down on wind noise. A chin curtain for your helmet is also helpful for reducing wind hitting the mic. I hope at least some of that information is helpful. Unfortunately my knowledge is limited to my experience with GoPro cameras.
@ChristopherNinja500SE Ай бұрын
Thanks for the reply. It is a very nice road. I try to ride it 2 or 3 times a month when the weather is nice. Hopefully you can ride it or drive it the next time you are in the Phoenix area. I got a microphone, but I haven't had a chance to try it. Hopefully it works well. And I tried the 16:9 setting on the GoPro, but the way I have the camera installed on my helmet It didn't show much above the windshield. I have a short video showing it installed on my Shoei. It is pretty tight to the chin and I can't rotate it back any farther. I actually like the 8:9 setting the I've been using. Have a good one.

What are the functions of "bluetooth connectivity"? I don't quite understand what it is for, does it show google maps on the screen or what can be done?
@ChristopherNinja500SE 5 ай бұрын
It doesn’t appear to do much while riding. Like you I had hoped that it would allow navigation on the tft screen, but it doesn’t. So it is a bit disappointing. All it seems to do while riding is light up an icon on the screen if you get a call, text, and/or email. So not very useful. Off the bike, after the ride there are a couple of semi useful features. You can review certain aspects of your ride. And it will alert you to upcoming maintenance and other service issues. So mildly useful. The app gets less than 2* in the google store, and the reviews are not good. It doesn’t seem well thought out.

The metrics it tries to capture, with random accuracy and completeness, are nice, speed, gear position, temperature, but they're none of the info I'd WANT, like lean angle, corner entry speed, g forces, fuel maps or anything 'cool' like that, and all that info you get from the dash display anyway. I'd like it to capture, via bluetooth and the factory app, all the OBDII data available and displayed/uploadable for inspection. Take note Kawasaki, my LAWNMOWER has it's own app that does all that, and it's a 2018 model...
