SXV550 First Ride Since No Start Fixed!

[@Scottstunts]

I’ve always wanted to ride one of those.

[@GromBeardo]

Well, don't do that.... then you'll want to get one🤣 It's a blast and if you're ever near, you're more than welcome to ride it!

[@eyebevil]

Need more videos if the Aprilia

[@GromBeardo]

I sold them all before I could hurt myself🤪🤣

Supermoto gang🤟Can’t wait for sumo stunters Ride🔥 and it’s pronounced K-G-Rowlo, KGR is my initials and everyone called me Rowlo growing up because my last name is Rowlison🤷‍♂️I never say it in videos, so I don’t expect people to know how to say it😆maybe I should start saying it in intros🤔

[@GromBeardo]

Ha, ha, you're all good. I figured it out but my weirdo brain just saw K Grow Lo the first time I saw it and I just keep saying it that way 🤣

[@Z125Mike]

Hell yeah man 🤘😎🤙

[@yaselventura5128]

Man I got a 07 Sxv 450, and I looped the shit out of it, Going 40 2 weeks ago. Luckily these bikes can take a beating, I was the one who got fucked up can’t wait to get back on.

[@GromBeardo]

Oh man, hope you heal up fast!

[@christo6142]

I've had mine 4 months now and changed nearly every part related to starting, I've ridden it about 200m. It still doesn't want to go. Is there a guide to the TPS set up? After that I think it will be to try a remap. Maybe I can give that a final go before I burn it and get a Husky 701.....

[@GromBeardo]

My man, thanks for watching! First off, I feel your pain, brother! So frustrating! I used the TPS setup directions from the XV Tuner cable manual. You should be able to get that off the AF1Racing.com forum or any of the "Files" sections on the XV FaceBook groups. My understanding is that the values have to be in a certain range for the fuel to even kick on. A lot of things have to be just right for these damn things to start. If you can't get the values to be within the range they specify. (I couldn't get mine low enough.) you can loosen the TPS sensor on the side of the front throttle body and rotate it to get a little extra travel. That got me within the range specified. All the XV Gurus say if it's hard to start there's some other issue going on too, like decompressors worn or valve lash setting off. I don't disagree with that. As, I think my front cylinder decompressor is worn since the compression is high on the front cylinder. Decompressors are just for starting, so to get past that I installed a modified GY6 starter along with a Lithium battery. The Rick's 4 brush conversion or the other starters guys sell may work as well too. The GY6 starter was cheap, so I tried that first. It's a total hack job, but it worked for me, so I'm calling it a win🤪

@@GromBeardo Thanks so much for the advice mate. I appreciate that. I'm not on facebook anymore but will check out the forum more closely. Yours starts really nicely now so I am hoping to get close to that! The 200m I did manage to ride is the only reason why I've kept going with it....

[@GromBeardo]

@@christo6142 that forum will be your best friend then. It'll still be an Aprilia though 🤣 I started mine today to go for a quick rip and fuel was pouring out of the air box🙈 It's always something with these damn things.

[@christo6142]

@@GromBeardo I think I'll get the Husky 701🤣😅😂

[@GromBeardo]

@@christo6142 I'd support that decision 🤣🤣🤣

[@cyclonus01]

do you still have the bike?

[@GromBeardo]

Sold it👍

[@4R1P5R]

You should have changed all of the fluids before riding the bike especially if you suspect that the previous owner neglected to service it properly.

[@GromBeardo]

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment👍

[@flangmasterj]

You're kind of riding it like a sports bike. Holding onto the gears way too long expecting some run on, need to short shift that bad boy. Either get quicker on the clutch or bang up without it (throttle off obviously). They're a torquey, fast revving offroad motorcycle in essence.

[@GromBeardo]

Awesome! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! Appreciate you!🤜💥🤛

[@TheXVAddict]

Don't spend too much time with that shift light on. It's just a theory of mine, but I think that's what kills these bikes. Extended time in the higher RPMs. I believe at a certain point oil starts getting trapped in the crankcase and doesn't make it to the sump to be pumped back into the oil tank. I did a write up in the FB group about oil changes I'll send you a link to it.

[@GromBeardo]

I'm not sure how accurate the light is. Seems like it's reving a lot lower than indicated. I could be way off though. Like at 65MPH what RPM should the bike be at, or like top gear at 8K RPM what speed? I just need something to compare to.

[@josephsaucedo8691]

Man all the China bikes have all the same problem the 190cc is the same way with the starter. I here you nothing worse the money just sitting there it seems like it's always the small things that holds it back.✌️👍💯👌🏍️

[@GromBeardo]

Bro, I just picked up a YCF sumo with a Daytona 190! It's kick only though. These things rip!💪💪

[@josephsaucedo8691]

@@GromBeardo sick I thought you get a 190 eventually one in the grom would be bad ass if you need to no anything about the Daytona or zs190 cc just ask a way I no a decent amount about these engine I own one of each I also no were to get parts for them as well at the lowest cost. I no the common thing to upgrade and the common problems as well. I actually talked to a couple of people about these engine and at one point I sold a few of these to people I have the spec sheet for the engine as well.👍✌️👌💯

[@josephsaucedo8691]

@@GromBeardo just to let you know be really care full if you are kick starting the bike there a right way and a wrong way and if done wrong I can snap the input or out put shaft in the engine if it electric start only use the electric start on the bike and forget kicking it over. 👍✌️👌💯🏍️🔧🛠️🔩

[@GromBeardo]

@@josephsaucedo8691 fill me in, Bro! What do I need to upgrade? I'm just looking for reliability. Honda spoiled me with that🤣 How about vendors? I found out Wholesale Cycle is just 40min away from me, so I've got that local source. What are the other go to vendors? Thanks for all your help!

[@GromBeardo]

@@josephsaucedo8691 OMG, now I'm worried 🤣 Google found me some starting procedure where I find the compression stroke, get into it a little, release the kicker and then kick through. That sound right?

[@norelapsetv]

hey man thanks for subscribing to my channel im trying to get something going. i just put in the oil pump you sent me and it works flawlessly. really like the way you do buisness. if you ever wanted to make a trip to greenville,sc we have a pretty good group out here we would love to have you. anyway take care and thanks again!!

[@GromBeardo]

Thanks, man! I appreciate that. Would love to meet up with some people down in the Carolinas! Any of your group headed to the Smoky Mountain Small Bore Rally in a couple weeks?
