Sorry Chopsie that blow off valve is not for me! ☹️

[@LambChopRides]

Yeah it's certainly a bit different! 🤣

[@percusski]

Don't know if it's the mic, but that didn't sound great to me, almost like there's a problem 🤷‍♂️

[@darrenramshaw2521]

Yep that would get on my tits 😂

[@greyanaroth]

I must chime in: That hiss would annoy the crap out of me ASAP

[@terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff]

Not for me, the hiss novelty would wear off very quickly.

[@TisMeJohnDee]

That valve sounds like my Mrs when I need to spend money on my bike.

[@jaredshelton4718]

Lmao

[@Unfunny_Username_389]

Wow that would annoy me no end.

[@tonypammen3398]

That blowoff ! Nah , you had me when you pulled away and then..... hissing sid made an appearance nah . Love the bike apart from that

[@LambChopRides]

Haha hissing Sid 🤣

[@davidcraig1794]

How to chav an H2,stick a blow off valve on it.All that is doing is masking the sound of the supercharger chirping which,in my opinion,sounds much better than the hissing sound.Reminds me of a steam train 🚂

[@adrianmulvey8919]

I'd rather have the hiss of the new turbosmart blow off valve compared to the crap factory valve that doesn't get rid of the overboost fast enough in braking. It makes the brakes feel wooden and counterproductive, having a motorcycle wishing to accelerate whilst you the rider wants to stop.

[@johnmorris5809]

Chops you’ve made that fantastic bike sound like Fred Dibnah’s traction engine. Wouldn’t mind a go on it though....😃

[@mrfiftyfifty9974]

In the words of 44teeth, Get in the sea!!! that valve sounds horrendous.. But each to their own.

[@LambChopRides]

Haha yes agree 🤣

[@satchitysatch]

Love that bike but that blow off thingy would drive me nuts!

[@georgea5335]

Sounds like a cheeky racoon gently deflating a balloon. Not the usual blower sound but I think I could get used to it in a week. 😁

[@andrewwiltse8882]

Congratulations, no more lockdown!👍 Back to enjoying life to the fullest. Kawasaki really outdid themselves with the H2.🍻

[@glenwhyte2555]

What a bike.. the nearest thing to Doc Browns time travelling machine money can buy and now sounds like it 👍 Fantastic fun 🖐

[@GamingCornerYT]

sounds like your running on flat tyres round the bends haha 🤣

[@ragerider6283]

Very cool. No doubt great to be out & riding a bike in the sun, especially the H2 in all it's glory. Although never heard a bike make so many random weird & wonderful noises lol.

[@capybara931]

Every single video is a gem. Hopefully you will go for a ride with Griz & Taffy, love them. Your H2 is absolutely fantastic and I love it. Keep up the great work and God Bless.

[@trevw3950]

I was expecting the H2 sound like turbo car of the 90s lol at least people here you coming.

[@LambChopRides]

Actually Trevor that's what I expected! Guess it's because superchargers make power even on rollon hence constant boost off throttle

[@TheStriker0525]

@@LambChopRides try this kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4PQYXhojriXrdU

[@JammNickk]

@@LambChopRides maybe a stiffer spring in the blow off valve will make it sound a tad sweeter. Everyone goes nuts for a flutter

[@missydee6085]

It's heartening to hear that Hissing Sid is alive & well - and has taken up residence on the H2. (That's definitely one for the kids!) 🥳

[@adognamedsight..]

What a stunning bike

[@highoctane6730]

Love the sound so much. Just ordered a BOV for my h2

[@Section59.]

blow off needs to release faster for that proper blow off psshh sound, just sounds like theres puncture or a boost leak as it is atm

[@umadbroyolo8413]

That's not how they work with a supercharger. Supercharger is driven by a pulley, so as long as your revs are up, it's making boost - even if you are coasting down the road in gear without using throttle.

[@10secondsrule]

Pulls like a steam engine finally got the meaning for this bike. I’m loving it!

[@Koldsmith]

Some like it, some dislike it - I quite like that the bike is pissy at you because you're not accelerating :D

[@steveyork8069]

That would drive me nuts,looked at them,thanks for saving me $$$.👍🏍

[@bakedbeanzontoast9078]

Oh no Chops it'll get all salt dust over it off the roads, I must come over and polish it for you.....!!!!, she's looking good though in the spring sunshine. 👍👍👍👍🇬🇧

[@streebs06]

The noise on downshifts! Glorious!

[@petereeves1354]

Very diplomatic of youse Chops. I've wood 'av given her a few 'choice' wurds. Great vid cheers, keep 'em coming. Pete in Italy.

[@dougie1325]

OMG John that blow off valve hahaha 😂 I thought the number 10 bus was coming around the corner. It would drive me up the wall. Such a lovely bike fella.

[@RE650NZGraeme]

Glad to see you happy and full of fun! Chops is Back!!

[@ryanforeman3650]

That blow off valve sounds like the 'nos purge' from the fast and furious films

[@richardwitherstone7396]

That lady that parked next to you didn't have a clue!🤣🤣🤣 probably doesn't know what a motorbike is🤣🤣

[@twowheelsoneleg5672]

That's taken me back "Ivor the Engine" :-)

[@davidelizabeth4933]

That blow off valve has more attitude than Mavis. Love it!

[@markshepheard2955]

Love the videos , the blow of valve would annoy me though . Sounds like an air brake on a lorry .

[@MT10dan88]

I think your Reviews and Vids are the best on KZbin. Great clear footage. YOU speak alot sense and your knowledge is fantastic. You don't waste time talking bollocks or about sponsors etc.. Best of all your ENGLISH 👏🏻👏🏻.. GREAT WORK again Chopsie. Meet up for a ride soon ay 🔥👍🏻

[@amancalledjames9345]

Jeez Chopsy, that’s just noise. Sounds like metal dragging on the road.

[@stefanheeren4519]

Je bike sounds like an espresso machine with that blow off valve. Besides that, she's a beauty :)

[@RRSmurf]

The turbosmart: Hell no Everything else: Yes please 😁

[@motor_ma77]

Can’t beat a Lamps ride in the morning to pick you up👍🏻 fantastic chops. I thought I had a gas leak when that valve went off 🤣💨

[@simonrobinson7536]

Looks and sounds like you had a good day

[@simonyoungs7581]

Dump valve, proper down with the kids Chops 😂😂

[@davexs]

Love the wave and the mouthed 'Hi' on the woman's face as she parked the car......Must of been filmed in Surrey...haha OMG Chop's I had head phones on and it sounded like a bag of cutlery the first time. I turned the volume down and the sound was better. What a hoot, I can see why you love the H2. You had me in stiches, take it easy guys and then 2 minutes later, whoosh and hiss. Great video, I enjoyed that.

[@ticthedog9413]

You've just told the world that you got a moody MOT. No doubt when the Mot tester will be over the moon when he gets a impromptu MOT inspection.

[@Kohlenstofffasermonster]

Damn you, why did I watch it..... now I want to get an H2 again hahaha!

[@sideshowbobcbr]

Incredible bike, but through video, that valve sounds like there's a big problem! I bet it sounds better in real life!

[@helmethair4880]

Holy moly! the sounds this thing makes 😍 I never noticed the supercharger whine before love it!

[@HalfdeadRider]

How, you could hear that just the same lol the whistle was nice too, better than the smart actuator imo. The whistle as standard was a little more like a tuned cars actuator, which Mr Chops understands I'm sure as he had a nice RS500 Cossie some years back.

[@helmethair4880]

@@HalfdeadRider yeah at 7.20 very briefly it sounds like a whine I like that, the flutter I love. Not 100% keen on the blow off it goes on for to long, if it was a quick woosh like a turbo blow off then it would be great!

[@HalfdeadRider]

@@helmethair4880 I think the manufacturer could change the shape of the exit to improve the sound, it is the same thing as a turbo Actuator/blow of valve/dump valve.

[@Taste_Budz]

Trying to listen to the BOV but mans wont stop talking🤌🤌

[@JEmmertz]

Wowsa, it really inhales and exhales, and it delivers! If I had the choice, no matter the vehicle type, I would take the supercharger over turbo any day. As you mention it adds throughout the rev. range, and you don't have to wait for it to arrive at the wheel. So much fun to watch this and hear it. 🏍👍

[@kylelambourne8585]

Cheddar is my neck of the woods be good to see u there chops

[@Kevin24Seven]

IDK why people are not liking the blowoff valve... that sounds insane!

[@LambChopRides]

Haha thank you Kevin 😊👍

[@Kevin24Seven]

@@LambChopRides No problem, keep up the great content. Love your vids man

[@joesti7607]

I need a turbo smart bov on mine!

[@paintmedic3291]

As you say chopsy, the drone footage went well 😂🤣🤣. Lovely bike though.

[@GregNice718]

I love that noise

[@headrace4863]

Fantastic.... if you’re gonna have an outrageous machine then why not turn it up to 11. It’s all the experience and to personal taste. Whilst it’s not for everyone that doesn’t mean it’s for no-one. Thumbs up from me. Carry on, Sir. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@lynsmith1096]

Great to see the H2 out with you.

[@myagoodbody7942]

Enjoying the shhhhhhhh! Are you going to add the water cooled plenum chamber

[@thehoot55]

I love the blow off valve. My son and I both have it on our Zh2. Your description that it’s all adds to the drama made me laugh because I know what you were talking about. But I am an immature 64 year old

[@mohammadrasoulfard-habibi3066]

That bike is simply epic. Great video mate.

[@paulvanhout9695]

You passed TMF’s white van and with authority I must say!

[@chem599]

Love the bike and the sound but don't think I would be keeping that blow off valve. Just my opinion but I think it sounded better before 🤷‍♂️

[@windyrun7979]

Yes Womble and the Tuono!!

[@bfkrug]

That sounds awesome!

[@bunnydaduk]

Good work. Watch your licence !

[@kn58]

I'm not sure if I'll be able to live with those silencer farts

[@johnwatson5473]

Try Whitstones fish n chips if you are on the A37 at Shepton Mallet. Well worth a detour....

[@mfpix]

I'm surprised that the turbo blow off valve does the same thing for a supercharger. Awesome bike.

[@RedlineRossi]

The mic obviously doesn't do the blow off valve justice judging by the comments Chops. I'm sure it sounds better when you're sat on the thing 😀👍

[@Drunk0nCustard]

why does the supercharger chirp sound different

[@MotoQuickShifter]

Awesome video Sean Chops, though you were going to make a video on the fitting of the BOV ...to be fair i was looking forward to it oh well its all good in the hood , ive got a long way to go on my new H2 💚💚💚

[@n22pdf]

Cool vid Chops.. is that you blowing off after a maccys sausage and egg McMuffin ;)

[@2_Bike_is_Life]

I don't ever want to hear anyone complain about the wings on the Ducati V4.

[@hubert1142]

that valve noise sounds like there are no brake pads left and metal grinds against metal :D

[@Englishbikerdan]

Haha, that lady. Completely oblivious to anything going on! Damn that hissing is an odd noise though. Not sure about that one tbh Chops! Do you think you'll keep it on?

[@WolfgangVonKempelen838]

Sounds like a steam powered space ship, under attack from the Borg ! You might escape, just !

[@funkyfin3023]

Lovely ride. Not a fan of that blow off valve though. Spot on about building up the pace after a long break. Is the lunatic on 2 wheels you or the bike......cheers chops.

[@kieranmanners170]

Im probably one of the younger viewers (30) and as much as i like the H2 and owning a Diavel previously, that blow off is too out there 😂

[@argieessex]

That valve isn't nice to hear, possibly it sounds better in person? The H2 looks fucking amazing. Would definitely agree with your advice about riding with caution in spring.

[@paulrodgers9162]

Simply brilliant 👍

[@frankmorris2603]

Right in front and guest appearance on drone cam. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 That bike is an axe murderer.

[@650ib]

Bike sounds great now!

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Ib, think you've also got one now? 💪

[@kleinbottled79]

Buncha haters here in the comments. 🤣 I like it. 👌

[@JayEss414]

thats awesome . that bike is a symphony

[@mostlymotorbikes]

Good video Chops. I need to get myself a go on one of those. It’s evaded me so far....

[@brucekendall52]

One special bike.Thanks for sharing.

[@Miester7]

Great road a272 was there this week

[@kuba181181]

Trackday on the beast H2? C’mon

[@barbieandbellaadventuresby9134]

The BOV was not quite how I’d expect it to sound. All the car ones I’ve heard evacuate the air in a quick whoosh but this seems to be a slow hiss? Hmmm I’m undecided, could get annoying. Still the bike looks fantastic 😎🏍. Bring on the summer.

[@redactedrider7606]

Sounds like a beast. I think 650ib has one too

[@LambChopRides]

Yes indeed he does, his is now 340hp! Insane power

[@robday2601]

Good video chops the H2 is awesome, the bike sounds mental I'm personally not 100% sure on the blow off valve but hope your enjoying it 👍

[@LambChopRides]

Yeah to be far sound better in person, sounds louder in the as its close to the helmet mic being under tank. Exhaust sounds louder in person

[@grumpynighthawk9323]

Hopefully you do some reviews on the new Tuono V4, loved your old Tuono videos. I've searched through your videos but can't remember where exactly it was but can you tell me what backpack you use again.....is it a Motocross one??......thanks..🤓

[@CodgerBiker]

Ha ha😂 If the Zero was a tube train, you’ve hit back with the Mallard braking for platform 4!

[@MrSpeedking86]

Alright chopsy! Good vid but that bov would do my head in. Each to there own I guess. Keep up the good work ol' boy, chops away!

[@jaircraftengineer5640]

I understand the reason, but the sound of the aftermarket blow off valve sounds distracting from the original unique sound of the H2, once I get mine I'm almost on the fence about puttin an exhaust on it. I know I'm going too but I still want to hear the chirping pretty good

[@BarnettSpeedSuzukiThou]

Be in Macy’s doing donuts down with the kids next

Ah did you hear it haha, took the stickers off the standard tank and left a mark so not touching these ones!
