If you maintain the cable lubing it a few times a year I bet it will be just fine. They have to make the bike meet the price point and from a weight and cost standpoint a clutch cable makes sense.

Generally the break in oil is thicker than regular oil to let things bed in. After the oil change in the first service to the regular weight oil you'll have less drag on components allowing it to rev a bit quicker and gain a few horsepower.
@motomaverickusa
@motomaverickusa 4 ай бұрын
Makes sense, but I wouldn’t think that oil viscosity would play a huge role in horsepower gains; I’ve done several break-ins, rebuilt some motors, etc. and haven’t noticed it like that before. I guess I was hoping there was some big reflash that tuned the delay out of the motor. Sadly, that didn’t happen.

My wife has ridden my Tiger 800 with me, though, we were both comfortable and the bike did great. The 660 motors have a little less power, but are also much lighter. I would assume the bike could handle it, as long as your passenger is comfortable on the pillion; there’s not much seat there. I would definitely suggest getting the both of you to sit on it and see how it feels.

The windshield does make a difference in the comfortability of the ride, especially when the wind and other atmospheric conditions can impact the rider.

I just had a tail bag on my Trident for this trip to Austin but I still had a blast, though. I would like to see the power changes trickle down, but I don’t see them doing that; they are definitely trying to hit a price point with the 660 lineup.

I think the key phrase there is “for a twin”. They added harmonic balancers to smooth it out, so I’m sure it’s way better than other offerings. Comparatively speaking, the triple is smoother, but that motor is known for that. You compare this twin to a single, and I’m sure the twin would be much smoother. I think it all depends on what you’re looking for out of your motor; the twin is going to be torque-focused over top end speed.

@thadcox5298 what needs updated? U need a tft and a imu? Lol. There hasn't been any big improvements in motors and gearboxes in the last 15 years. Just crap to make a bike work within emissions standards. An upgrade in tires and setting suspension for you is a bigger upgrade than buying a 2008 gsxr vs a 2025

@@alphacapo All sorts of tech/rider aid improvements since 2011. And yes I do like TFTs. I feel like any new $12k bike should have one. I have a 2008 Suzuki and the ABS is terrible- you're better off without it even on the street. Compare that to something like the CBR600RR- electronic steering damper, ride by wire, ride modes, etc.

I own the 660 trident and find that bike to be very enjoyable! I used to only ride sport bikes, but now i love the more laid back seating !

The reason why it’s weird,from second to third is because you can use the quick shifter. Its best to use clutch in first. Second ext use left foot and shift. And you dont have to roll of the throttle. Just click the shifter. Ive had mine since February,2024.

I seem to remember seeing the issue when going from first to second; I would clutch in and roll off, shift, then clutch out and roll on, just like I would on anything else. Even though the throttle was on, there was no power, then it just all the sudden surged forward; it was like the clutch got stuck and then popped. Is that what you’re talking about? I didn’t realize there was a quick shifter as standard on it, so that might be part of the issue. I hadn’t experienced anything like that before. Maybe I’m just misremembering the whole thing. 😂

Interesting review. With respect I think maybe you're just not used to twins & more specifically parallel twins with 270 degree cranks? It can feel like you're abusing the engine & it's somewhat reluctant but that's because of the big pistons & the inertia etc. You have to embrace the vibes & use the low down & midrange grunt. Twins have a lot of engine breaking & this engine feels more like a V-twin than any other parallel twin I've come across before. It's also a very smooth one for what it is but above 8k it's not worth bothering as no hit in the power band, just more noise & vibes. QS is clunky & not the best but it does loosen up & you need to be firm & positive with it. The Daytona 660 engine is more powerful, more interesting & definitely smoother. However, I wouldn't say it pulls harder at low to mid revs but at higher rpm the 660 really takes off & is miles better. I personally love twins but totally get why you wouldn't if you have a triple as they're very different & can feel agricultural. I personally love the character of twins for road riding & you can just surf the torque with minimal gear box use. Although as you say, no right or wrong, just a matter of taste, preference & opinion.

You’re probably right; since I don’t have much experience with the parallel twins, I did some pulls at various rev ranges to try to figure out where it wanted to be; I found the best acceleration was starting at about 4k RPM up to about 7k. Some of the lower end pulls had a bogged down feeling and just didn’t want to “go”. I feel like the triple motors can pretty much pull anywhere in the rev range, so maybe that’s just what I’m used to. I’m looking forward to riding more parallel twins, as there are a LOT offered by various brands. Hopefully I can learn more about the motor with a larger sample size, but also talk to someone who rides one daily to figure out where it’s happy. I’m enjoying riding different bikes and learning something every ride, so I appreciate your thoughts! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.

@@motomaverickusa No worries. You're right about the revs on the 8R, it's sweet spot is between 3-4 & 7-8. There's also a mis-conception with the twins that because they're torquey that they pull well in high gears from low revs, they don't. They labour, clatter, chug & protest due to the big pistons so you want to be in a mid gear for a good pull ideally. I'd say from 30mph - 40mph, 3rd or 4th gear is good so you're not changing up too soon & shifting by 8k. As for triples, I do like them & need to spend more time getting to know them as never owned one. I didn't used to be too interested in them tbh but I've more recently seen the light! The Triumph 765cc & Yamaha 889cc engines are amongst the best out there currently imo.

@@ragerider6283 every motor has its quirks, it’s all about getting to know your machine and how to maximize what you get out of it. The Triumph 765 is an iconic engine; check out some of the track times from Moto2 after Triumph became the sole engine provider for that class, it’s pretty impressive. Of course it’s nothing live the V4’s but that’s something else entirely. 😂

@@motomaverickusa Agreed. The 765 is an absolute peach of an engine. They sound & go so well. It's on my list for a possible next bike when the time comes for sure. I don't need 200bhp rocket ship so it'd be more than enough. I'm also keen to see what else they put that engine in too. Although, performance wise, the 660 is enough for me but ideally I'd like a higher spec chassis with more suspension adjustability & better brakes. Don't really care either way about the dash or electronics tbh.

@@ragerider6283check out the Aprilia 660’s. There’s the Tuono for more of a faired naked feel, and the RS660 for the full on sport bike. I’ve heard great things about both, but you’ll pay a premium.
