Yamaha Bolt - One Take, Up Close

[@Ptremp]

Your front fender is backward. It will look much better once you change it. Many dealership made that mistake in the first few years when assembling it.

[@ForeverARide]

You’re so right

[@Yamahog]

Well said. Perry, look at your throttle cables at the hand-grip.... you see that knurled knob on the top cable???? That is your slack-adjuster for the throttle cable. I had the same issue and it just needs a turn or two to remove the extra slop. Don't make it taught though, you want about a 1/2 millimetre of free play so that you aren't putting undue stress on the throttle-body. The muffler sounds bad A**. I want to get one.... you wondered what stock sounded like.... Think same pitch, Tone.... but muffled until you get under load on a hill and crack the throttle to accelerate. Stay Safe.

Nice review! The bolts are bullet proof cause they’re so simple. I’ve got a 2014 r spec and haven’t gotten rid of it b/c of how simple and good it’s been. Not hard to put miles on it. Only thing I’ve really had to do it batteries, oil, and tires since buying it. Highly recommend getting rid of the stock tires… transforms it into an even better bike! Cheers

I want to see like a cinematic video of you riding it. More video of you bolt please!

[@ForeverARide]

Yes sir!

[@isaacalvarado123]

I got the same side bag. It fits very snug right under the seat where you have it and it looks like it came stock with the bike. I recomend you tie it snug to the frame.

[@kristermartinez4989]

Where do you get this bag from?

[@ForeverARide]

I got mine from amazon.

[@daniilkoubaa]

I wan’t to buy one soon, im thining to get akrapovic pipe and Koso speedometer

[@ForeverARide]

The speedometer would be a great modification. The exhaust is a must!

[@californiapoontappa]

Keep the speedo it's a waste of money it's not that big of a deal. It's better to your money in your bike for shit that improves performance. The speedo is just what ever it doesn't really help with anything and the stock isnt really that bad

[@jawrazorback]

Been wanting 1 for the gf to learn on or to take her for rides thatll be more comfy than my sport bike and as a hooligan cruiser stunt bike for me...question is how does the bike pull and run at highway speeds 2 up?

[@ForeverARide]

Haven't rode 2 up but there's plenty of torque. Even without the 6th gear it's fine at 65-75.

[@jawrazorback]

@@ForeverARide would the bike be stable or not under much strain at 80 to 90mph? If it can do that it should handle 2 up at 80 on the highways I'd be on without issue

[@californiapoontappa]

I weigh 170 my wife 115 we Cruze at 100 no problem. I do have full Vance and Hines as well as pc5 tho. But I put dyna shocks on the back and do wheelies with it. I need the saddlemen seat tho

[@michaelcalico5509]

i took my sticker off with mineral spirits

[@ForeverARide]

Thank you for this! I have to try it.

[@midnightwind8067]

Wish they were not owned in so much black. Not my taste. More color. More chrome. Just my POV

[@1005arzee]

get a white wall tyre and get the rear seat off

[@ForeverARide]

Skeet it and yeet it.

[@PainterD54]

I don't think that saddlebag against the exhaust is a good idea. I think it goes on the rear of the bike on the other side.

[@banzaibadger]

Its not touching the exhaust.
