You realy have a hard on for making fun of this bike huh? My God, so many videos on dissing it... only thing so far we ever disagreed on, since I bought one. No more CBR600s for me, when I came back to riding after 10 years I test rode this and loved the relaxed position for my riding... its great, lots of other advantages, yes miss my inline four, but this is amazing too... Stop dissing it!!!!

If you are a new rider the best thing to upgrade is yourself. Learn, practice, repeat. Your bike is made to work well already.

[@playstation8779]

Agreed. Honestly the 300cc is kinda a good starter and isn't too expensive to get into. Plus it's designed to be beaten to hell and back.

[@jacobshoenfelt2302]

I can vouch for a aftermarket slip on! I myself have a 2020 CBR500R as my first bike and the only two mods I have done and will ever do is get a Yoshimura slip on exhaust and a bigger Puig Smoked windscreen. Gotta love the 470ccs of Fury 😂.

"Essential"... I'm so confused. Don't you have like, 5 videos mentioning how you *shouldn't* bother getting an exhaust slip on or otherwise when you're a beginner?

[@timsretirementjourney8323]

I'll agree that the stock muffler is too big and doesn't look near as good , ... but it sounded a lot better from where I sit. Seeing a mod like this reminds me of when I was 16 and had a Thrush muffler put on my '61 Rambler Classic (6 cylinder) and thinking how cool it sounded. Thinking back, .. the guy in the Hemi Road Runner parked beside me at the A&W drive in probably shook his head and chuckled. :) If you buy the little Honda as a starter bike, but you want something that sounds better, .. just use it to learn on and make sure your next bike is a 3, 4 or 6 cylinder. Those sound great just the way they come. ;)

[@toofastnobrakes]

I personally like the Coffman shorty exhaust for this bike. Lightweight, sounds good, can color match the tip, and it inexpensive 👍 it’s also muuuch louder than this slip on, good pops and crackles

Near the end of the video, when he was complaining about wanting more torque, he FAILED to state what the RPMs were, If he could have down shifted to second, it would be an imediate 25% increase in wheel torque, as peak torque of the engine is at 7000 RPMs, he might gain even more if the engine speed was below 5000.

Yam and his obsession with the CBR500r 🙄🤣 I am a 56yo new rider and have a brand new 2024 CBR500R and I absolutely love it! Not everyone wants to go fast or be loud etc. What I wanted was a bike that looks good, is forgiving, is easy to ride and extremely reliable. That's what I got! Also the difference in price between the Yamaha, Kawasaki and Honda all around the 500 size is not that much different here in Australia. Get over it Yam! These 500's are pretty-much bullet-proof and they're popular all over the world for a reason. They're a good bike for the beginner market they're aimed at. As we say here in Australia...."stop ya' whinging and get over the CBR500R mate"! 🤣Keep up the good work Yami....Craig - Australia

[@rocketrollsvlogs7625]

It is a great entry sport tourer. I wouldn't compare it to a ninja 400. It's an excellent commuter. The CBR500R, CB500F, and CB500X are all built to meet Euro [and other countries] power limits for beginners. It's built for beginners and it has the size that many beginners who weigh over 200lbs will prefer on a bike. I wouldn't be crazy about riding a 293cc or 399cc bike on a hwy. 471cc gets you just enough to be safe but not running into the 100's. A CBR500R will break 110mph.

[@TheGryphonGamer]

I’ve been riding for 4 years, recently got the cbr500r and it’s a great bike. Even if it’s a step up starter bike for new riders, it’s perfect :)

[@drgonzo4714]

Perfect noise level is a bit louder than stock. If you boy a really loud muffler ( or a stubby muffler) you will find out why straight away. Loud muffler provides you with a nice sound, but every time you give it some beans, every traffic cop within two miles will know about it. Which can get expensive.

[@rocketrollsvlogs7625]

Changes the sound and loses 5lbs. Put a KnG air filter on it and it will really open up. If that's you're type of thing. It's a wonderful bike. It's a 2 wheeled Honda Accord.

[@JoseLgamer05]

Please also put the measurements in metric as well, would help people that only know metric like me, so, those would not have to make the math to convert it to units that they can understand. For example, 9 pounds to me means nothing, but the equivalent in kilos or grams (4.082KG and 4082g, respectively, imperial is so stupid in many ways btw), with that i can already have an ideia of a quantity. I am sure that it could help a lot of other viewers. Otherwise, keep up with the great work, seriously, your videos are awesome.

[@Hard_7_Iron]

I’m an experienced rider (30 + years), and I love this bike. There are days where I want slow and easy on the edge of Lake Superior and the woods. I’m not adding a slip on for 5 pounds. I can just lose 5 pounds and achieve the same thing. CB500X is a great bike.

[@viktor4757]

you don't have to flash the ecu when just installing a slip-on right? Only with a full system?

[@Fearless154]

You don't "have" to flash the ECU no matter if it's a full system or the slip-on. Every modern bike's ECU will adjust itself for the new airflow and will inject the fuel accordingly so it won't harm a bike in any shape or form as it used to on the older 90s bikes. But if you want to harvest the most performance out of the full system you must flash the ECU because the stock ECU is tuned for fuel efficiency and less noise and emissions standards, not for the most performance.

[@viktor4757]

@@Fearless154 obviously you don't have to if you don't want to, but i've heard that a bike running with a aftermarket exhaust will run lean if you don't flash the ECU, and run bad/worse. So i was just wondering if the same thing occurs with a slip-on? And you said every modern bike will tune it self, how do you check if your bike does that and is there a name for it?

[@Fearless154]

@@viktor4757 Well try not to read motorcycle related information from boomers articles. The problem is every modern bike nowadays runs very lean out of the factory no matter if it's stock or has a full system on it. As I said it done to meet the emissions and noise regulations and not necessarily to make the bike run the best. So even flashing the ECU on the bone stock bike will dramatically make the bike feel and run better. As far as the second question. The ECU on the bike collects a lot of data air/fuel ratio is one of those. If the ECU detects an anomaly it will inject the fuel accordingly to meet the ECU programmed air/fuel ratios so it won't go any richer or leaner on the fueling.

[@viktor4757]

@@Fearless154 thanks for answering! But what is it called when the ECU collects information like that, I wanna check if my bike does it (which it probably doesn't since it's from 2010)? And flashing the ECU will also remove any restrictions on the bike as well i'm guessing?

[@DanTube2010]

What bike do you have? The current Honda 500 range have an airbox restriction which is fairly easy to fix. You'd want to do that if you were going to go for a full exhaust system. Then it would probably be a good idea to get it tuned.

[@Fearless154]

Basically, it's the same bike but 2020 got few refinements like better suspensions and new looks and digital dash. So technically 2020 is better. But which one is better for you is solely up to you and your budget. Do the upgrades worth the extra for 2020 probably not if you're a newer rider get the 2016 model you'll throw it anyway after a year for a bigger bike and if you're from Asia and it's a legit-sized bike for long-term use get the 2020 model.
