Yes it came natural. Cleaning it with WD40 helps the process or maxima chain clean. Hew thanks for watching.

@@kingyl7262 not to me because I wear earplugs

@@joyfulpyro2589 oo but without earplugs is the helmet noisy?

@@kingyl7262 it is not super quiet but definitely not noisy, its in between. Keep in mind I was on my loud rsv4 when I wore this helmet on the street and track. Hope that helps.

@@joyfulpyro2589 thank you for the info because im thinking to get the Nz race helmet for my rs 457 for long runs n tour purpose

@@kingyl7262 You will like the NZ race but if I were going for a long ride I would like an Internal shield if riding day into night. Also Aprilia makes a very nice helmet to match your bike (not meaning to side track you). Lastly the NZ race is a very nice bargain for a very good helmet.

@@atharighazali2777 I wear ear plugs because the wind noise will increase with all helmets and potentially cause hearing damage. So it's difficult for me to answer other than it's in the middle of the road as far as quietness. If the top vents are closed it's quieter than when open, also your head position when behind the windscreen. My RSV4 is loud so prolonged riding without ear plugs means I will hear a constant ringing later lol. Long answer but I hope it helps. NZ race is quieter than the r2r for me.

Lol yes I did. Look at the 7 minute mark 😉

@@CunningStuntsGoFast Hmm...do you currently have a map on the bike? The only power issue I had was just a lack of it but that was due to the restrictions that Aprilia had on the bike. The Gabro map took care of that. Also what settings are you riding in? Lastly the Mtorque map will wake that bike up tremendously, so getting it won't hurt. For me track or street there was power everywhere with the Mtorque map. I hope this helps, reach out anytime.

@@zzzsham162 I would say it's fine but I do always wear ear plugs. It's not the quietest helmet but is definitely not loud either. I would attribute that to the snug fit. One thing I forgot to mention is the vision, it is remarkable. I was on track and thought I left my visor up, it's as if you are riding without a helmet lol. Hope this help and thanks for viewing.

@@Stan-rf2bn I have not noticed any difference in fuel consumption since having the new map. I have 1200 miles or so with the new map as well. I have no complaints. The bike feels like it was meant to. I do wonder what the bike would be like with no restrictions for AEM1 for all of the gears.

@@revremy Awesome glad it was helpful.

@@shivamsaraswat446 That is awesome! I haven't put up the video yet but the NZ race is a better value than the KX-1 and you save 400 bucks. Thanks for viewing.

@@bronsonapostadero899 rideaprilia.com/brand/kyt/ It's the r2r graphic LED black and red. They have large and medium in-stock. Thanks for viewing!

@@hansgodwin3548 not necessarily because a size down was too tight for me. The large in the r2r still fit it just seemed looser than the NZ race. I believe the r2r feels looser because of how the front is made. I may make another video of how these both feel on the track. With the NZ race my mouth was up against the front of the helmet but not so with the r2r.

Hmmm how would you suggest it be strapped? I did go to another dyno and it made similar numbers.

⁠@@joyfulpyro2589ok. Was the torque curve still over place ? You can’t compare numbers between dynos due to inherent differences and calibrations and weather conditions. But how the curves look and air-fuel curves should be ok to compare.

@@Panigale1199r1 No it won't be too small but it will be a tighter fit. KYT is supposed to start selling the different size padding then you could swap the medium padding for a large. I tried on a medium NZ race at the dealer. I got the helmet on but it was tighter than I wanted. If you don't like the medium fit I'm sure they wouldn't be opposed to a return. Measure your head and check sizing for peace of mind as well.

@@joyfulpyro2589 i can’t find a large anywhere, so I was going to try a medium.

@@Panigale1199r1 which r2r were you trying to get? I can check here.

@@joyfulpyro2589 the red and black one

@@Panigale1199r1 speed addicts and motobin have larges, not sure if they are the ones you are looking for.

@@mercow1242 I would get the Tuono for daily commuting. As far as reliability if taken care of it's reliable as any other bike. I have not had any issues. I change the oil more frequent than the manual says to, I don't sit and rev the bike or bounce it off the limiter, I always make sure the chain is adjusted and lubed, just simple maintenance. I do believe with all manufacturers there are some bikes for whatever reason are defective off the manufacturing line. After a year of ownership would I buy another most definitely yes.

I had no issues with airflow it was actually pretty good. On the aerodynamics it actually seemed better than my NZ race but that could have been because the NZ race you are expected to be in the tucked position. I may actually buy a second R2R. Even in Alabama heat it vented very well when moving and little to no buffeting if I spelled that correctly lol. The r2r is my go to at the moment. We'll vented, comfortable and pocket friendly. My only gripes were those in the video and are rider specific. Hope this helps.

@@joyfulpyro2589 thanks so much.. yes it does.. I am in Atlanta for my son’s baseball tournament.. I will try and meet dude mungus, before going back to Miami..

@@Panigale1199r1 ok for how long I'm in Bama? I do photography too I could have taken some specialty baseball photos. Glad I could help on the helmets

Dude niiiiice! Upgrades. I will be doing ceramic bearings later I just want to work on 4th gear lack of power. I reflashed my bike so I need to test at the moment.

How did you score the forged wheels or are they aftermarket?

On the r2r they should be compatible with glasses I will check when I get home. I got the r2r so that I didn't need to wear shades on long rides and as the sun changes positions during the day. Hey thanks for viewing.

@joyfulpyro2589 i appreciate it, the r2r has those plastic trim pieces on the cheek pads wouldn't let my glasses in. Worst case i will just pickup an NZ-Race when they come back in stock

@@Max-rs3mh ok so I just looked at them and wore glasses with both helmets. Both helmets have red tags on the left and right showing a picture of sunglasses saying compatible. On the NZ race it says remove foam but I'm not sure what foam to remove. On the R2R there are slots on the side for the glasses to slide between the cushioned liners. Check ride Aprilia they may have some helmets in stock. I hope this helps. If I should make a part 2 let me know, because I didn't mention that, the speaker cut-outs, chin curtain and visibility.

@joyfulpyro2589 Ok, I'll check them out, what appeals to me most about the helmets is the visibility and the super lightweight shell. I didn't know the glasses arms were supposed to go in between, it feels unnatural to not have them resting behind my ears haha

@@Max-rs3mh lol I agree. I rode my nz race with shades and I did not like it because the helmet is tight so I got the r2r for the internal shield. What would be cool for those who wear prescription glasses is if there was prescription film that could adhere to the inside of a shield. It's a wild thought I know but oh what a difference it would make.

Hey thanks for viewing! Trying to put out some helpful vids

Awesome! Man thanks for watching. I have not posted the video yet but budget in getting PPF put on your bike to protect that matte finish. There is no way to correct scratches in matte paint. Once again prechate ya and stay safe as well.

@@joyfulpyro2589 good to know, I’ll squeeze it in there somewhere after the Gabro tune, forged wheels, and rear sets lol

Came back to this video, so you have numbers on the stock Aprilia map? Can you elaborate on the stock tune going to the Gabro tune with the slipon? I’m wondering if the on/off throttle was improved (less twitchy) and what the power increase is?

@@dteal23 stock 183 to 184hp. Going to the slipon and Gabro tune yes less twitchy and you gain about 4 to 5 hp. Also the shifts a very smooth especially at certain RPMs. Its a feeling out process. Definitely worth getting. Best bang for your buck is going to aspecialparts.com www.aspecialparts.com/shop-2/?search=1&motorcycle-models=rsv4-1100-e5-2021 get the upgrade as a package to save a few bucks. This bike has made 193 before but the conditions were optimal.

@@joyfulpyro2589 nice, thats exactly want to know. I like running the AEM on setting 1 because it’s more responsive but off throttle mid corner I don’t like the twitchiness. Thanks for the info I’ll place my order.

Thanks man. I will load a few pictures on Instagram but you may consider getting PPF on yours as well to protect the finish. On matte paint there is no paint correction or buffing out scratches so I wanted to protect it.

Thanks! It's my way of spreading His love. There is a better view of it on my Instagram. @joyfulpyro

Still working on my timing getting better though. I need to tell my legs start running you have touched down lol

@@joyfulpyro2589 keep one in front of the other and you’ll have no problem, I was the same way.

@@joyfulpyro2589 I touch down with my right foot and my left foot is in front ready to take the next step

@@EvilKen01 yep that's how I have been doing it maybe I am going too fast as well. In training I never butt landed lol. On TH-cam everything looks so easy and not scary

@@joyfulpyro2589 did you train at the beach? I figure you did because you have a flattop. Landing is much easier with the wind slowing you down

Yes considered that it's just on a week day during the winter by the time I get there it's dark. Typically the path I flew there is at least one out nearby or the road. Sometimes the camera makes the LZs look small or they can't be seen to the left or right. You are correct at one point there were nothing but trees. I told the airport I would stay below 700 until I was away from them since there were students in the air (sidenote also the airport doesn't allow PPG pilots, ultralights or powered parachutes to fly from the airport so i must find a field nearby). Hey thanks for the feedback I will definitely keep it in mind and hopefully find some farm land to fly around.

Most definitely. There were student pilots in the pattern at 1k feet and didn't want to get in the way lol, while keeping a bailout near by. Thx again for the advice.

Thank a bunch for the encouraging words. It will be cold but I will try to get a flight in tomorrow and give that advice a shot. On my first flight after year I landed on my feat but pulled to much brake and pulled myself over. Funny thing is during training I never but landed.

@@Vanpotheosis I think its more I need to get my timing down. People who have went through other instructors said they butt landed their first few flights also. In super training I never butt landed. In this vid I was being transparent alot of guys don't talk about their failures.

@@Vanpotheosis And which death would that be out of thousands of students? The kiting accident on the beach where he wasn't even present? You really need to get over your own hate of the guy, its a miserable way to live.

@@Vanpotheosis You bought the hate here to this nice guys video, not Dell, its all on you with your anonymous youtube account. And all you've got with 20+yrs of Dell instructing to pick over is a kiting accident on a beach with one of his instructors almost 10yrs ago and a video of Dells flattop literally saving a guys spine from being shattered.. that's it? that's all you've got? That's really sad man.

​@@Vanpotheosis I don't want to fight about it either, it really sucks there is this schism in the sport that you and I love and I dont deny Dell isnt on one side of it but there another side which attacks FT owners. I don't defend Dell on his own channel I just get riled up because as a Flattop owner we get a massive amount of spillover hate which really isnt fair and puts us constantly on the defensive. At the end of the day its all about safety/usability tradeoffs. Its not the easiest frame/engine/wing to learn on without some Flattop specific instruction, I had loads of trouble too until I got just a couple of basic tips but it does have its advantages over other frames/rigs/wings such as that video with the guy going on the ice hard on his reserve, on a light frame he very well could have shattered his spine, actually there is a longer version of that same video where the pilot who crashed actually admits that immediately after. One of the deciding factors in me getting a Flattop is a friend who got me into the sport crashed into a tree on his Scout and fell 30ft onto his bum crushing his spine and ended up in a wheelchair just as I was selecting my paramotor. (hes barely walking again a year later) I cant say the crumple zone would have entirely saved him but it would have helped. Since ive owned it ive crashed a bunch of times too one time would also have been a serious spine issue so im not changing rigs. FWIW he manufactures the frame in Utah, the Dominator wings are made by Sky Paragliders in Czech Republic. I don't even hate on other rigs they all have their tradeoffs, I bought one for a friend who is a smaller dude who wouldn't have been able to handle the bulk of a FT and hes a naturally athletic dude anyway not prone to accidents, hes in my latest video. Anyway peace to you too, maybe one day we will fly together at a fly in.

Small trinkets like a lanyard, keychains small advertisement cards etc...

Ya i saw that. When he was running they fell out of his basket and the other kids took them. Unfortunate but things like that happen among kiddos.

No sir just turned the camera

This made me laugh today sir you win

Thanks again working to get better

Thanks! Much appreciated
