Edited out the starter turning over at the end lol.. What a waste of time, obviously didnt change a thing. Often the solinoid gets dirty contacts and can restrick the current. A slow start can also be related to a cam sensor.

That's not a "bag of nails", it's a tin of nuts.

Great info! I didn't know the ends were different. I have used the 23's for many years. I love the top opening feature. I find they are only good for a few days on the road. But if you are going on short trips as I often do, they are the way to go.

Great video! Thanks

Very helpful thanks so much!!!!

Really nice review. Thanks for taking the time and sharing so much pertinent information. My SuperTenere is going to look odd with the huge tail case, but I'll have the expandable storage. Very clever idea.

Great vid thanks, looking at the sh23's myself for my NC750X

From memory u r supposed to position the crankshaft in a certain position via the marks on the ignition trigger plate and crank case b4 you release the camchain tensioner I know this all too well because I failed to do that prior to slackening my tensioner and retensioning the lock nut and there was a rather disturbing noise coming from the cam chain😮

I had a 1980 xj650H very gd bike a bit of an oversight by mr yamaha tho imo is the lack of tensioner on the alternator/ starter chain which can flap around with higher mileage and cut the oiling nozzle 😮

Its ugly. Period

Green party’s are 🤡🤡

Once they can monitor your movement they can restrict your movement, then slowly restrict it more and more. Throw out you TV, stop reading newspapers and for God sake get ride of your mobiles. But you will not get rid of your mobiles because you are addicted to them. You will never be free with a mobile in your hand.

NWO ALL OVER THIS.

It could be that the statements used in this video have been taken out of context and also do not fit with actual global research on emissions and fatalities reductions when speed-limits are reduced.

Thanks for the video. I have the exact bike. I want to rebuild the motor on it. What are the yamaha Donor engines can be used? Are the 650 Maxim engines the same motor and set up for the year? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Just more rules to discourage car ownership and restrict free movement. All in the name of safety and climate change of course......does anyone still believe the govt is working towards the best interests of the Irish people?😂😂😂

Great video.

Thanks for this, I may be doing this shortly :|

My issue is with the planners 36 if they made it just a 3 inch longer it would be better for shoppers than width able to easily take a reusable shopping bag

Better to compare a DJI Action cam.. they are simply better then the always crashing GoPros.

Yes.... that's what I wanted to avoid! I own an Integra 750 and I've gotten used to packing everything into the top box! Good, clear and concise video. Thanks

I had the same idea as you. May I ask why don't the SH36 side boxes fit with the SH23 stoppers? Thanks

Great comparison Pat

thx help me much removing mine :D

Sound work well done. Have one must give you a shout

I had a grey 2001 S4 with all the carbon and the red Marchesini wheels and it's the only bike I regret selling. I'm actively looking for one at the minute. The best description I have heard of the clutch noise is that it sounds like 2 skeletons having a wank in a metal dustbin 😄

I bought a 2002 M750S ie about 3 years ago, a low mileage bike that spent nearly 18 years sitting in a garage and looked practically brand new. With new belts, tires and fluids, I racked up 12,000 miles in a few short months. What a joy and thrill to ride. Then I found a non running 2001 S4, it had water in the front cylinder due to sitting outside with the airbox cover removed. I discovered the key code system in the instrument cluster was faulty, so I replaced the engine ECU with one I found in Italy that eliminated that system. I rode it on a 4,000 mile journey with my two best friends last June and loved every minute of that trip. This is not a bike for everyone, especially those reluctant to learn how to adjust desmodromic valves, but for those of us with the technical ability or the wallet capable of paying for the maintenance, it is a brilliant bike. Thanks for sharing yours with us.

I have a 2019 Niken GT. I agree with your comments. I’ve put 30K miles on it and will keep it forever. I take it on camping trips to the hill country and other adventures. It handles gravel and dirt roads just fine and allows me access places I’ve never been before. No bike is perfect, but I absolutely love this bike!

Fab! More of this sort of thing! :)

Thanks for sharing your bike! 👍🏻

Glad the rain held off.....

Great! Thanks for making this and sharing - and thanks for getting to the monthly meet. See you again soon!

Hello, I have a question about the shad rack. Could you please provide the dimension between the first and last screw? I would like to fit it to another motorcycle.

Woo nice bikes

Hello, I'm considering buying this central trunk and SH23 for the V-Strom DL800. I'm just wondering if this central trunk isn't too big visually and won't spoil the look of the motorcycle too much :) Best regards :)

Hi mate, would you know if the locks of the SH36 would fit into the SH23? Greetings from Germany.

Too bad they don't make the SH36 expandable like the top box, but I understand that they may not be as weatherproof. So just how difficult is it to change the rubber mounting end pieces?

I took delivery of a Niken in March 2023. Wow. What a ride. So comfortable, smooth and planted on the road. The safest motorbike in the world.

I've owned a Niken since March 2023. It is an amazing machine. Never fear a low side again, even with a puncture. So solid, smooth and comfortable. Thank you Yamaha!

Great video Pat. I've been intrigued by this beast on the rare occasion I spot one. It makes a lot of sense in the one place that matters most. Odd that this design has'nt become more mainstream. Cheers. Donal Litster

Thanks. Great pros & cons lists!

Thanks for the video. Glad you like the bike. I just bought an almost new 2019 Niken GT for a very reasonable price. Looking forward to riding it this summer, once the snow is gone (here in Canada). Two questions for you: could you give me a link or direction where you bought your hand guards? I assume they fit well? And also: how much difference does your extra 'slip-on screen' make? Did you also look into other full taller screens? I am 188 cm tall so am expecting some turbulence at higher speed with the OEM screen.

Honest review!!! ...I am of similar age/experience.... had my NIKEN GT a couple of years....54,000 kms, ultra-reliable ... and yes....be prepared for all the questions and looks...lol Superb motorcycle

Well I think this answers my question which is will the SH23’s work with the SH58 top box.

Hi man, what are the symptoms if the fuel pump needs to be replaced?

Thanks for posting. Very helpful.

Thanks

Nice lovely bike

Thank you for your beautiful comment. The work was done for presentation at full screen size, so the type may look a bit small if the window is not expanded. It's a very moving poem and Tony is currently working on two need books, one for adults the other is a children's book
