I can vouch for the Scorpio alarm. Bought one in 2006, they don't seem to have changed much apart from the fob. It's an excellent system. I would recommend buying the appropriate plugs for your bike so the installation is plug and play, no cutting your harness.

[@bikewolf7455]

bought the sena 30K because i thought i would need it 1 year ago.... listened 5 times to way too quiet and shitty audio quality music and thats it. never met anyone who had a comms system so i never used it for communicating... also i never tried the navigation feature because its annoying to me when in car. i have a phone mount for navigation. also i cant listen to music when going over 3000rpm because the sena constantly thinks im talking and talks back to me that something is not working. i recently found a use for the sena when i bought the audio back pack for my gopro... still sometimes there is no audio on the recorded footage when i am going over 3000rpm. also there are a lot of hard to fix problems on sena devices so dont ever buy sena!! buy cardo for example but heated grips are awsome

[@Balomis]

@@bikewolf7455 I can't speak to the Sena, but I'm pretty happy with my Cardo Packtalk. I always ride with earplugs (KTM 500EXC Supermoto) and I can hear it at pretty much all speeds/RPMs, though I do have it maxed out. I'd say helmet choice matters somewhat, because the speaker location in my Bell MX-9 is way better than in my Fox Racing V1. The mic only really pics up the bike at wide open throttle. Setting up a group can feel randomly hit or miss at times, but once linked, it works really well.

I replaced the 50-tooth steel rear sprocket on my little Yamaha TW200 with a 40-tooth (probably should have only gone down to 42-43 toothed sprocket), in order to spread out the gears for street riding. Aluminum, drilled-out and titanium coated, made by Sprocket Specialists. The newer sprocket weighs virtually nothing in the hand. The older steel one was like a five-pound boat anchor. Before: Topped out at 65 MPH with lots of vibration. After: Tops out at 80 MPH, with NO vibration, along with an ungodly increase in fuel mileage. And still operates noticeably well in the lower gears.

[@joevogelberger9922]

*Brezhnev's* eyebrows, comrades. Here's a mod that'll save you money and make your EFI bike run on cheap pump swill, get better fuel economy, possibly perform better and definitely start easier. For all those new Harley fellas who have to pay a certified tech to try to remap your fuel injection or find a place just south of your swingarm to relocate your intake air temp sensor so your big, bad, loud pipes and cold air intake don't lean everything out so it runs like kaka- cut (yes, dammit! Cut the wire) coming from your air intake temperature sensor inside your bike's airbox or intake tract and install a 560 ohm 1/2 watt resistor (green, blue, brown) across the cut you just made. It doesn't care which way it goes. Now wire any kind of SPST (on/off) switch *across* that resistor. To your bike's EFI computer, high resistance at that sensor equals cold temps and wider injector pulse widths/richer mixture. Low resistance at the sensor equals hot temperatures/narrower injector pulses/leaner mixture. 560 ohms is a good starting point and the first resistor value I tried and stuck with in my '01 Kaw 1500 Vulcan. It made the EFI think it was 40 degrees colder out than it actually was. It enabled me to use 87 octane fuel (cheaper and more volatile than high octane, so it made starting easier.) The throttle responded crisper and my fuel economy improved. Octane measures gasoline's *resistance* to ignition (to cut down spark knock/detonation). That way the manufacturer can make your engine run as lean as possible to comply with EPA regs. The downside is you have to use high octane fuel to avoid knocking and overheating. This mod cures that by sliding your fuel map colder and richer. The switch across the resistor (that you can hide almost anywhere) just shorts it out so it's back to stock configuration again. You're welcome.

FortNine - something I learned from the phone installation industry. When cutting your Tie-Wraps use the smooth flat end of the wire dykes down towards the lil lock and the curved end up toward the piece you are removing. Give a tug and cut. This will let the Tie go slightly back into the hole, and not leave a short jaggy piece popping up for you to cut your hands on.

The Sawyer filters are the absolute tops in my book. Bought the $50 kit with the larger Zero Point One in it and been using it for years.

[@Str8stbowtie]

A few additional tips about the Sawyer mini If I may. When using the Mini or any water filter for that matter, take special care to not let it freeze in cold temps as it will split the membrane inside sending it to paper weight status. I keep mine in an inside pocket next to my body. Also while it is one of my favorite pieces of gear for hiking, riding, or the apocalypse, beware that it only filters bacteria but not viruses. On the east side of the United States where I live viruses tend to not be an issue. Well, unless some a-hole with corona empties his bladder upstream as I'm filling mine. BONUS- It is designed to fit just about any screwcap bottle or bladder. (Minus Platypus's proprietary crap-I mean cap) And if you don't want to carry the bulky plunger to backflush it, the tip also fits perfectly in a flip top smartwater bottle cap. So keeping an extra cap tucked away is a really good idea for a few reasons. Happy Trails!

[@calysagora3615]

I used mine for filtering rain water in my cabin. I ended up buying a length of hose that I connected to the tap of a ten liter jug that I hang on a hook from the ceiling. Then I plug in the filter at the end and stick it into jugs for filtered water. I lived there using it regularly for two years. Sometimes when there was no rain for months I got water from random springs I passed. It made any water taste great.

[@Supermofools]

Those sprockets are made by all big companies for years like Motomaster, Vortex, Supersprox etc etc

[@adrianbroughton9752]

Make sure you compare the weight of those dual-material sprockets before buying - Even though aluminum is lighter than steel, being a two-piece design means they need to use more material and I have heard some of them can actually be *heavier* than just a well-designed steel sprocket.

[@tacomas9602]

[@muddytiresmtb7415]

It doesn't say new mods dude it says gamechanging mods not trying to be a dick but I think you missed the point of the video

[@davidjames1684]

@@adrianbroughton9752 This is true. For example, the stock steel sprocket of a 2004 Kawasaki ZX-10R is lighter than its SuperSprox equivalent (both 39 teeth). One drawback of the aluminum "core" sprockets with the steel teeth "ring" is the sprocket is light where it matters least and is heavy where it matters most, so a static weight savings of even as much as 1 pound doesn't really mean much if that savings is towards the center. You wont even notice any performance difference from just that. Supersprox for me is more for looks, not for performance.

I used to use bar muffs back in the 90s, when I was dispatch riding, and they looked even more dorky than these here. It's amazing just how painful it can be when you fingers start to go numb and the vibrations kick in. I remember a 400 mile day where I had to travel to Manchester from Brum, in winter, and then back again thereafter along the same route, and I'd not got bar muffs, the pain was excruciating and I almost crashed due to lack of feeling in my hands. But crappy looking bar muffs for £40 saved my life thereafter

I desperately wait for the uploads man. Love the content by Fortnine 😊 Love from Pakistan.

I have the Oxford mitts on my bikes, they are a total game changer! I paired them with Oxford heated grips and man I will never have another bike with out them. Even With winter gloves I eventually get cold soak and have to stop riding, but it went from 30 minutes, to several hours of riding before it became an issue

[@rajatsachan5179]

my guy! this guy knows how to make a video... entertaining and informative is an understatement. absolutely awesome

[@Don_Melon]

last time I was this early, Ryan was smashing a bike on a rock

[@biker1581]

@ nine minutes ago, already 15k views!!!! another excellent video, simple, to the point and really good mods!!!!

[@alejandrodg82]

Can confirm, Rox Risers changed my ride 100%.

[@Zt3v3]

Right? A buddy turned me onto Rox a couple years ago and bar risers have never been the same since.

[@malandro2023]

I liked this video so much (both format and content), and I appreciate its closing was quick & sober. Ryan is by far, the best vlogger.

[@Gryphus-R]

THANK YOU Ryan for discovering RAM mounts to me. They are totally a life changer. I was so tired of cheapo smartphone mounts with a zip tie and weak mounting systems. I got a X ram mount and it is badass and way more convenient. Fun fact: 2 months ago someone tried to steal the mount on the community parking. I have the anti theft knob and they tried first by hand (the metal of the "X" was warped) and then even tried with pliers (scratch marks) on the base and they were unable to take it. Sturdy as hell. I just straightened the bent flaps and good to go again.

i just bought a seat warmer for 40 bucks on amazon... waterproof too because its made for motorcycles and boats. the warmer is made by Systafex

[@user-cg9vp9bf5d]

I heard those explode after a couple miles

[@bikewolf7455]

@@user-cg9vp9bf5d well... i hope not haha

[@MasterTrend]

Hands down the best motorcycle content on youtube.

[@cobion]

Add Tank Grip (TechSpec are my fav!) and Pivot PegZ to that list to make it (almost) complete!

[@mikedebear]

I did the Pivot Pegs on my DR-Z 400 and regret it. Hillclimbing? You're in the backseat and fighting to get your weight forward because your feet are rolled aft. Downhill is the same issue in reverse. The surface area to stand on is massive though and it's all day comfortable for riding the fire roads. Just wish I'd paid half as much for static pegs.

[@riderramblings]

I fitted a LiFePO4 (Lithium battery) to my bike about 6 years ago. All I can say is, provided you down't ride in temperatures below freezing, _do it_ It has more cranking amps (starting power) and takes zero maintenance. 6 years later, riding nearly every day, my volt meter tells me it is as good as the day I fitted it! Handlebar muffs are great in the cold and the wet. Get the ones that fully cover the switch gear so you can use the switches, levers etc. normally.

[@MarkoVukovic0]

Having only recently discovered this channel, I can say yours is one of the best I've ever come across in many years. Well done!

[@A_Blue_1]

Why do i get this "voice of gods"feeling , each time FortNine pops a new "brainfart" ? :D Awesome stuff - as always - keep it up, pleeeease! :)

[@SydneySlowRider]

Liked it before I even watched it

that confused look away from the camera killed me

[@nomad802]

This channel. Ohmyword I dont need much other. Just simply the best content.

[@stu.c13]

Bar muffs are probably the best thing I ever put on my old Honda. Hands warm and dry all winter. I recommend full muffs that mount past the switch gear.

[@33BRR]

I should stop watching FortNine, I always feel the need to buy good cheep stuff for my bike afterwords...

[@milesmorales5417]

this is your only comment tho

Damn son. I remember couple years ago you had around 12K subs. Now over 500K! Keep up the great content Ryan. :)

[@swiss26x]

About time. Someone who knows his stuff and isn't full of crap. Funny too and yes he knows us cheap bikers. Love this guy

[@plincoman]

As a Honda Ruckus owner who uses it as my only vehicle you just got a sub.... wish i saw this video before winter hit though those hand gards look really nice! would have rode all winter if I hadn't broken a finger at work. it healed quick so i only missed out on February. Iv put about 9,000 on it in just under a year.

[@jordank5975]

*Shorai Lithium Battery WARNING* tl;dr perform great but most don't fit right in your bike I have gotten 4 of these batteries and they all don't fit properly. They perform great, but Cycle Gear & RevZilla size guides do NOT match Shorai's online guide *AND BOTH ARE INACCURATE.* Following both guides based on my stock batteries has given me batteries that don't fit in the OEM box, and multiple people have reported this issue (Supervisors have confirmed proper choice and obvious improper fitment i.e. "too tall, too wide"). They sometimes also recommend batteries that have opposite terminals, so beware of blowing a fuse or melting an electrical harness.

[@rahbaralhaq]

3:50 as someone who HATES digital spedos, that deeply irritates me. That said, nice video overall.

[@4kirb]

Especially with older bikes, my yamaha rxs100 looks 10x better with analog spedo

[@leslieaustin151]

Rahbar Al Haq Well, each to their own... and your view is as valid as mine, but I’ve just put a digital dash on my Yamaha XT225, and its great to read speed and distance in MPH and miles rather than km. Many of the options on my unit have no relevance on the little XT, but i think its a great mod. Nice video too. Les in UK

[@disabledman8697]

analog speedos are easier to read, in all conditions. You are perfectly correct. And now for the science behind it: An analog tachometer has a specific position for speeds, an angle, that you get used to. You stop checking the number it points at and instead just check the angle it sits at and it's speed of movement, giving you a much quicker idea of how fast you're going and your delta V. The digital speedo requires you to interpret the number you're reading and it is next to impossible to judge the delta V by the change in numbers. Further worth mentioning: Sunlight and glare.

When I bought my Kawaski Versys 1000, she was fitted with Bridgestone A41. Not bad, although a bit sensitive on tarmac repairs. Then I changed them for Michelin Road 5. Not the same bike, far much easier like if she was 30 kgs lighter. And more confident and dry and most important, on wet.

[@papaballoon]

The bar gloves are WORTH IT! I have ridden thousands of miles in winter (bite THAT "motorcycle" guys. I ride a scooter all year!) Hundreds of miles across Midwest tundra in November thru feb. They work!
