2022 BMW R nineT Option 719 - Specs, final walkaround, and modifications

Easy Upgrades | Few Tools | No Experience Series
I hope you enjoyed this episode. Please note, with my apologies, I had a number of technical issues with this video, so it differs from the others in the series as to intro/outro. That's not a big deal, perhaps other than to me. Also, I misspoke in this episode, and to clarify, the bike's weight is 487 pounds, wet.
Here are my parts, sources and help to make this project happen:

Thank you for sharing this beautifully machine. I have the r1250r which is a great motorbike but contemplating losing a little torque & buying an R9T. Thank you again!

[@DrChrisStout]

Thanks @garybearnes3975, I very much appreciate you taking the time to say that. PS: You may find this of interest as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqW9e6dslq2KsMk and PPS, I think you'd enjoy an R9T, but, admittedly, I'm a bit biased. 🙂

[@petermiller8634]

Replacing the standard rear shock with a Wilbers is one of the best modifications you can do for both comfort & handling improvement Chris. The standard seat leaves a lot to be desired too in terms of comfort. They’re a brilliant bike but for what they cost should have come with a better rear shock & seat. I love mine now that I’ve made those improvements.

[@DrChrisStout]

Thanks Peter, I have been wondering about that, and in seen in some other posts folks have said similar. What seat do you recommend. What's the general price range? Thanks!

[@petermiller8634]

I’ve fitted a wunderlich dual comfort seat from Pier City to mine Chris but there are other good options too. Cost was about $700 AUD & it’s softening up a bit after about $1000kms. The shock is tailored to your weight & makes the biggest improvement to comfort.

@@petermiller8634 Thanks Peter, very helpful!

[@AliBikers]

Great video !

[@DrChrisStout]

Thanks @onurplayb, I appreciate it!

[@422shaun]

Your bike looks great. I’ve been watching your videos while I wait for my bike to arrive. Maybe 3 more weeks. Hopefully the weather will hold out here so I can get a bit of riding in before the snow falls. I also ordered the werks slip on but with the black centre

[@DrChrisStout]

Thanks, I really appreciate you saying that. Best with your bike. The heated grips really help on colder days. You'll love the pipe sway, too. Enjoy!!

[@charlycabindol56]

How did you get rid of your Ducati? I've been looking for a next one and your videos sold me this bike. Thank you sir!

[@DrChrisStout]

I don't think you will be disappointed! I have really enjoyed it so far. As for my last Duc, it was auctioned. As for all my projects, you may enjoy: www.alifeinfull.org/stoutengineering.html Best with it!

[@sobc2737]

187lbs wet? Really?

[@DrChrisStout]

Gotta read the comments, my boo-boo was corrected in the very first paragraph. It’s an easy mistake though, as it’s so nimble to ride 😊
