I have Triumph steet triple R, and I have this problem too. My setup: caliper - brembo, reinforced hoses master cylinder nissin But when I press the brakes I have 40% free travel and when I release the lever and press it again I don't have the same free travel as when I first pressed

I have a 2003 R6 and at my college i had an O2 sensor. I was using it to troubleshoot shoot a miss on 1 of the cylinder with the headers off. And the c values definitely corrosponded with its cylinder value. The bike was running while i was increasing or decreasing the C values and i could see the change on the O2 gauge for each cylinder. C2 was the only 1 that didnt change the value of cylinder 2 and that is because the igniton coil was bad and that was my problem solved. Also worth noting is that they were all set at different values from the factory when I first entered that menu.

Do you still havw your fireblade 08' and how do you like it? Its the slowesr out of its generation competitors but well balanced and the lightest - typical honda. Mine burns oil and i can never get a oil reading in my dip stick even when i topped up or when i first bought it at 20ks odo it came serviced and can see oil at full then a month later i cant find any oil, i did top up and still cant see any oil only when its on the side stand i see oil at the tip of it and its a whiskey colour. I now get the red oil light flash a few times upon start up i then top up and its fine..

thank you for this video. so many videos i watch the person riding is going so fast it makes my eyes water at the same time they are telling us what other people are doing wrong. in this video you are riding with common since as to what the traffic around you is doing. i think you are a very good rider. keep the videos coming. i just subscribed to your channel.

Good point about the stress on your discs. I recently bought a SC33 and am 62 yrs old. It is much more comfortable than I expected. By using the knees I can distress the wrists. One hour on the bike is no problem. And I have arthritis! Thanks for the video. I'll check the oil consumption on my bike as well....I like your views and I subscribed to your channel.

Yeah lets blame the biker for a car pulling out in front of them.

I kinda think kid was looking at his phone tbh.

6 years driving in the chaotic and lawless Vietnam. People who get in accidents are driving like clowns. Don't kiss the clown car and be a clown yourself

Good video. Notice how most videos of motorcycle crashes usually happen when the rider is doing stupid shit like speeding on a freeway, swimming through traffic or simply not paying attention? Taking the initiative to slow down or evade because they think it's the drivers responsibilities to look out for them seems to escape a lot of riders. We're taught from baby steps that we need to "ride like you're invisible".

Good stuff. I would add that we should practice hard braking and also "brake and escape" where you brake and then swerve. If we practice, then we will have these techniques when we need them. The middle of an emergency is not the time to figure this stuff out. A small nitpick: The stopping distance is not exponential with respect to velocity, it is quadratic. It is proportional to v^2, not k^v.

The quote that's stuck with me is "Graveyards are full of people who were in the right".

I also love the timing of the "I'm gonna check my speedometer", why? Not only was there a car sitting in the middle of the road, why would you look down at your dash like that? And in that position on the road? Tbh I also do stupid stuff like this, like really, really stare to look at the gear indicator sometimes when I damn well know I'm being stupid, and it's 100% on me. Luckily, no bad events, so that's good for me, and I do want to get rid of that action completely.

I got 04 the first year an it has a few bugs bein the first year production model yeal but overall still my favorite an still goin

The danger is not about riding the motorcycle, the danger is the person sitting on it. If the person is extremely shallow, you have a dangerous person with a bad mentality riding a bike.

its facts if you ride to show off your gonna get hurt

0:06, 100 percent of all people die, it's called old age or illnesses lol

Be careful running THAT much brake fluid in your res. When your system gets hot it will expand and will have no where to go other than pushing out your pads. It can cause front wheel lock ups. ALWAYS run your fluid res between the min and max line. Never on the max or over. Stay safe.

I have one of these. 80,000kms every thing is original. She burns about 400ml oil per 1000kms. Not sure about reliability but mine has lasted forever

I need some help can you help me

Soapy water works fine and doesn't create an absolute mess

100000% of his titles: APRILIA SUCKS HERES WHY! video: aprilia us great.

He told people to trust temu riding gear, lmao

The pistons are polished steel so nothing really sticks to it anyway. I just use soap water and a toothbrush, believe it or not the nylon toothbrush is softer than the steel and can't scratch the pistons, then blast some air in to dry

These new bikes are a joke and it's all because of the climate kooks.

The guy you referenced is part of the blue-haired gang, what did you expect? Good job clarifying.

Omfg thank you. I'm so tired of the to much for the road crew. Ride what you want. I'm keeping my super sports.

It quite gets on my nerves when people just say this to me. They just go "oh why would you ride a motorcycle? (I live in a populated country in Asia), they be like, oh you get to sit comfortably in a car with ac and it protects you from getting hit. I don't get why you'd ride a bike" Well, first of all, how are you comparing a car to a bike with stuff like ac? It's just physically impossible for a bike to come with ac, and it'd make no sense. Its also physically impossible for a bike to come with seats that are found in cars. Secondly, it always sounds like these guys want to use passive safety as an excuse for getting away with not caring. I don't think these people are wrong, or somehow inferior to my beliefs. They're right. A car does come with ac, comfier seats (at least on paper), and it does protect you. But that has little to do with riding a motorcycle in the first place. You ride a motorcycle for many different reasons, not only because you didn't want to drive. You drive because of many reasons, not only because you didn't want to ride a bike. Then there's the god awful status driven issue here. A car somehow implies your wealth. Somehow a ducati rider will get less looks than some guy with a decent car, except if someone's ready to spend inflated prices on a ducati, a luxury item, I'd think they'd have more wealth than any other guy with a good car. Somehow always passes people's minds here. "Its selfish" they argue. Well selfish as opposed to what? Buying a large suv you didn't ever need for "the family", only to find you hogging the narrow roads here with only the driver's seat occupied? If riding a bike is selfish, does this act, which is common here, imply benevolence? How did we even establish that a car is somehow more comfortable? That's just in the eye of the person behind the wheel. I don't hate cars but I dislike these bs narratives spread by people who refuse to admit laziness but will cook up something to make themselves look superior. I really dislike that.

Just bought last 2 weeks an 2006 R1, and personally for me - she is easy to ride, no doubt. I have already more than 60.000 kms riden last 3 years, and what i have realised is that this is not a beast that will kill you - you just have to use your brain and ride it accordingly to your skills. You will get in trouble and will kill yourself pretty quickly if you dont respect this bike. Im pretty happy with my R1 and the 1000 cc myth for me its out of the way. Still keept my 2023 CB650R - pretty famn wise choise, because the R1 drinks fuel and waste tyres like there is no tomorrow 😄 - but its the perfect budget toy to have fun 🥰

I’ve been waiting for part 2!

Anyone listening to what that guy has to say in the first clip you played needs to get their head examined.

Great point about how it takes alot of rides to feel out a bike. But if you can test ride a lot of bikes you might see which cockpits and drive trains just aren’t your cup of tea. But you’re so right, I wanted to try the new 390 duke as an economical bike to hit the twisty back roads of Northern California. I had heard so much about the 390 in all its generations. The 2024 was all new and better so I got it. Paying full price and all the U.S. fees. Love the bike but after 10 months I realize as amazing as the 390 duke is for what it is……. Power, smiles, 52mpg, all the after parts cheaper, no service really. It’s a smaller bike, you miss the wider tires, it has usable power that pulls maybe at 599cc. But you miss that bike that has more then you need when quickly over taking some one. Instead of this 390 can do a great impression of my larger bike in most situations. Like the substitution football player that is pretty impressive but after awhile you find out what he’s lacking that makes him that 2nd team roster player, still super talented but you need something more. To your point even on the 2022 390 duke model, used or floor super sale I could have had that experience and saved a lot of money. Yes the 2024 is a notch above but close enough that I would have seen no this bike is a bit on the small size and I ideally I will want more power. At least the ktm 790 duke. I had a stroke, when I began riding again my 990 superduke seemed too heavy, so I did the 390 duke, very impressed and it was light. As my strength and muscle mass came back, the 390 was like a lite beer, it worked but took a lot of work. I’ve become a better rider with the 390 for sure. Now to find 790 duke or a street triple! Thanks for your videos

I had a 1999 speed triple as my first bike, when my skills improved I wanted a sport bike really bad. I got the Daytona 675r. Probably the best sport bike for back roads. But after 2 hours it was too much weight on my wrists. Now I think the best route to go is a naked sport bike. I’ve gone ktm 2007 superduke, 390 duke and now I think I’ll do the 790 duke (it seems like a great deal) or the 2024 triumph 765rs, that is the ultimate(problem solved!). But that is a bit more expensive although still a great deal

What size db killer was this? What do you think of the exhaust a few months later?

Have you thought of replacing the callipers for something beefier?

great bible verse

the part about mass and energy is kinda wrong. sure you may be lighter but that wont really matter when youre going like twice as fast. remember KE = 1/2 mv^2. its the speed that really matters. and sure you may not get as big of an impact (if at all) but you will not get lucky everytime to get ejected or ejected safely. also the friction may help you slow down but some people are just retarded and ride with 0 gear and end up having to get skin grafts.

Great video bro. I've just started getting into motorcycling and all of this is great advice. Love the verse thrown in at the end too brother, God bless.

Temporary citizens? Sounds like any other people on Earth 😂

Spot On! Really useful for me as a beginner while everyone says Im signing my death sentence hahaha High-quality content, keep it up!

Great content.always puts a smile on my face keep it up

Enjoyed the video man. Keep it up! People tend to forget that motorcycles are not dangerous, it’s the riders actions that makes it dangerous.

Nice video, keep it up

Just because you have high torque ,it doesn't always mean you have high horsepower but if you have high horsepower,you either have high torque or power at high rmp

Dude, thank you for this! 🙏🏼

Well, that was interesting. You didn't really need to be on a bike...

120-130 hp in motorcycle that look like sport bike. That is it

Totally agree about the comfort, having ridden more nakeds than sports bike , I. Now have 2008 fireblade and it’s really comfy to ride, but agree brakes weak compared to the Brembos on my street triple

Get a wideband senor and gauge. And watch it

What a great topic. The way the newer generation has been fooled by marketing strategies and youtube hype is a tragedy in my eyes. Theres no use in trying to argue. The power delivery discussion you might as well talk to a wall. All i can say is im glad i can fulfill my adrenaline addiction and my sanity with with motorcycles. Not because its more practical riding. I have respect for anyone on 2 wheels.

If squids could read or understand what you say they would be very upset.
