Switched from Michellin Road 5's to Dunlop Roadsmart 4's (IV ). Noticed that the bike is much more flickable. Dunlop stated this in their advertisement and I find that it is very true my bike means with less effort. future videos to come on these tires.
Coffman exhaust DB killer delete on Honda VFR 1200F
มุมมอง 7162 ปีที่แล้ว
after 3 months of having the DB killer in my Coffman exhaust and not getting enough sound from it I decided to remove the BB killer / baffle. It's extremely pleasing to my ears lol! I'm wondering why no one on TH-cam has done this or at least shown this for others trying to find an exhaust. I know all the hoopla about back pressure but the VFR 1200 f has a big box full of emissions control. I'm...

From experience you might lose a tiny fraction of distance if the module is not perfectly on the side, so the signal is free to travel forward+rearward without the head on the way. BUT that being said, there is no other way, and also while riding we turn and angle our heads so much that previous limit becomes less accurate. Good video sir.
Where did you put the microphone?
@@damonmace4045 It was a part of the kit itself
How are your lights (main and passing) working after a couple of years? Are there things you would have done different? Have you had to replace any of the sealed lamp kits? I'm looking to do the same as you've shown in both your front light videos. Hope all are well. Peace
Thanks. I gonna get Roadsmart 4 for my Suzuki GSX 1400 next week Have been driven Michelin PR 2.
How do you like these lights now that youve had them awhile?
They're quality lights. It's very important to align them though. I made that mistake but corrected it after realizing it on a night ride.
Same experience as I had it instills confidence
Thanks for the tip! Although the shop I bought the helmet from informed me that placing the Sena Intercom should go smoothly oon this helmet, I guess I have to do the same thing. This is only a waistband to hold the helmet liner in place, so nothing is compromised.
True, I've had it on my helmet now for a year and no issues
Since I made the necessary adjustments my Sena fits much better
And the wheel is for a harley touring? Not sure yr make and model on that but i would love any more information im going to do the same but with a custom front fender. Thanks for this awesome video.
This one was a 2008 Harley 21" touring wheel. Touring is any of the Harley Touring line up. Road glide , street glide, ultra glide and Road king.
@thethingsidoforyou1598 thanks so much. Can u tell i cut and bleed yamaha and not the other brand! Lol
Question...Im looking to do a 21 fb spoke on front and a 16 on back of my stratoliner. Front looks pretty simple but will the back go on like this as well?
Wouldn't want to leave you the wrong way I never change my rear wheel just the front. Couldn't really see the rear wheel at all. You may want to Source another video to see how that goes
Got ya...thanks so much for the response@@thethingsidoforyou1598
I have a roadliner what kit you use for your batwing?!
Reckless batwing
You know that sound of someone chewing in your ear? Yea, fucken annoying isn't it?
Yes it is. Especially when your dealing with Autism right?
Was thinking the same thing
Ummm.. is your front tire mounted backwards?
😂 Tread pattern appears that way but no the arrows pointing forward
You want to sell the viking bags?
No
@@thethingsidoforyou1598 did you get the Alex bags on?
@@colbylaro9361 no
Your video is BS nobody cares about unwrapped boxes of parts, just want to see how the axle comes out!
you might have compromised the shell sir by cutting it .. anyway it is your helmet
I don't believe so it's a thin piece of plastic at the bottom of the helmet that detaches from the shell itself. But I agree at this point is a matter of opinion
How did you accommodate the that plastic rib that lines the neck ring?
Hello !!! Can you please write me your exact order for the steering wheel so I can order it??? I entered the site but unfortunately I didn't find it!!!
Pan-eers? No mate, its pan-ee-ers. Panniers, the i is like an 'ee' as in seen. Hope you are enjoying your bike! 👍
Forgive my American accent LOL! Thank you ride safe bro
It's been a year since you fitted your, what do you think?
That was an awesome set up but since then I've sold the bike. I'm currently building another bike at the moment. Can't say enough for these lights. They're a little pricey but the quality is definitely there
Just fitted the same light to my 2006 Roadliner. Went for 1 night ride and will be return the light to the supplier. The description said 'high beam directional light', meaning a spotlight, so it doesn't light up the dark areas the low beam doesn't cover. The low beam is nice and wide, but it lacks depth, making it dangerous when approaching corners. Also, it's not adjustable, so I did notice that the spotlight is a little off center. I am going to try butting LED's in the OEM headlight set.
Hey man I also own a tune vfr1200f And I’ve tryed Michelin road 6 gt Angel gt 2 Brigstone t32 Is possible to tell us how many miles this miles did for you , also if you notice any wheel spin after acceleration over 140 miles with them Also you got 190/55 or 190/60/17 Thank you for videos
So far I'm at about 3,500 miles. Haven't experienced any wheel spin. I have a lot of confidence in these tires and I feel as though they're just as good as the Michelin Road 5 at this point. I haven't tried the road 6gt yet. So I can't gauge the performance from these tires against those. I'll keep everyone updated and I have a few rides planned later in the year that I will do a video for
how are they holding up? i got a set for my bike but itll be a while since my road 5 still has a bit of life on it
HA...I used to live in Berkeley springs WV
I’m seeing some decent rebates on these. I’m thinking of putting these on my triumph. Can you tell me where these tires were made? Hopefully not China. Thank you.
Made in the USA Buffalo NY. Really great tires for sure.
Great video. Thanks for this, have you had any issues after install??
No no issues at all
@@thethingsidoforyou1598 sweet!!! Thanks again
Pushing them hard.? Still enjoying? Previous rubber?
Did you just buy the spacers or did you buy wheel and all from Tom? I’m curious if it would be cheaper to find my own wheel and tire
I bought the wheel on eBay. The wheel fits a Harley-Davidson touring 2006
What’s the name brand of the running lights the bar?
They're factory OEM yamaha. Came with the bike
Very hard to find in the used market for cheap. Guys don't want to part with them unless you're buying the whole bike. So when they come up they're pricey
You would think some industrious individual (or Yamaha) would have seen the market for passing lights on our bikes.
Thanks man!!! you're the only one reviewing RSIV and not doing it for a pay check! PLS keep posting infos. I look forward to see how long they last!
Thank you and I will. It's cold here on the east coast right now. You will see more of the rsv reviews in april
@@thethingsidoforyou1598 I totally understand, i live in Quebec so i know what cold and lots of snow means!!! I will have to replace my tires during next summer and will not go for Michelin road 6s cause too expensive but Metzeller 01se or Dunlop RSIV are what i aim for. Be safe man!
Would this fit on a Yamaha V Star 1100?
I'm not sure but it definitely will fit the Roadstar
Going by the strips on the rear tire you should be good with the cruiser tires will give you more mileage! You do not need Sports touring tires.
I certainly wouldn’t take his word for anything, I would be embarrassed to show that rear😂
How can I get in contact with you. I have a question. I have a V star
Chris Kelly on Facebook. Usually a motorcycle on my profile or my face
I’m reaching out now
I couldn’t find it.
Can any Harley wheel fit on a Yamaha V star?

Thanks for the information, I greatly appreciate it. I'm looking to purchase that bike this week but I definitely need bar risers. How would compare the heli bars against the LSL bars? Pros and cons if you could. Thank you in advance for your response. Keep up the good work.
Hi It's been 7 months now how do you like the LSL kit? I have the heli's and contemplating going the LSL route. Did they mount with the stock lines and cables? Thanks.
Love them they're definitely a game changer. Position is more like a naked sport (standard) rather than a super sport. I definitely advise it for anyone who wants better comfort but get a taller wind screen too because you won't be as tucked to the tank.
@@thethingsidoforyou1598 thanks for the reply! That’s great that made a nice change. So just to be clear you were able to use the stock lines IE clutch brake and throttle cables?
Absolutely everything stock fits fine
How do you like your aftermarket seat??
It's not aftermarket it's a 2012 OEM seat with better texture than the 2010 seat
Where did you get the seat pad then? Any particular brand by chance?
Why not have the front fender painted to match the tank color… you are a hack…
Are you holding the bars too tight? The standard bars hardly vibrate at all. Just come back from 2600 european tour with no issues at all. I took off a bar conversion as it ran too close to the tank and took weight off the front tyre. Those unused areas on your tyre don't go back to virgin so I'd question your 'down to half inch' comment. The popping is unburnt fuel or an air leak, not part of a tune unless you're a weird car nut.
Bar ends solved the vibration issue but yes I tend to be heavy handed and grip tight. The sabsteef tune didn't work out as far as the air/fuel popping I'm disain that aspect. I'm going to a traditional exhaust and see it that'll fix it.
Got them on my superduke GT after two sets of roadsmart 3’s. Not yet gone full attack in mountain passes but I do note more neutrality and an amazing warm-up time. Got average 8000km on a rear with sporty riding, on crude asphalt with a torque laced twin so not complaining at all.
That's good to hear. There's not many reviews here on TH-cam for these tires. It's good to get feedback on these . I'll be touring this weekend and video to follow soon. I'll be doing roughly 1,000 miles in the mountains and Highway
@@thethingsidoforyou1598 There is a french one on Le Repaire Des Motards channel. They claim they were overheating the front on track when pushing hard, but to me that sounds like a good thing. It means they are so good one can confidently push for corner speeds you're not supposed to and likely never will do anyway on the road; yet the rubber tells you it can handle it
I like all the mods except for the muffler. Beautiful bike.
update
Coming in about 2weeks after my next long trip down the Blue Ridge parkway
There's another video after this one one this channel
I'm think is better as Michelin. Michelin is not for big, heavy bike
I think if you don't use the gt ones, they will not last
@More From Mike The gt is for michellin not these dunlops. They're not offered in a gt configuration. Michellin road 6 does though
peeooog.
😂🤣 And I still can't pronounce it
It was really easy to do. It is a 2 person job.
Yep one person to hold the bike from falling
Thank you for the follow up. I got a flat on the stock Dunlops my Z900RS came with and decided to upgrade to the Roadsmart IV’s. I read a bunch of reviews saying they were very good even on sport bikes which is why I chose them along with the even wear characteristics. Hoping to get them mounted soon. I’ll be watching for more updates, thanks!
The sabsteef ecu tuning will do wonders for your bike 😁👍🏻
That does sound good man! How hard was it to remove the baffle?
Very easy it has a snap ring holding it in. Just some snap ring pliers and remove it
Sorry you covered it! Thanks a lot bro!
What fender did you purchase? The one made for the Raider?
Yes
did you sell the 18 inch wheel, I'm looking for one.
Thank you from Spain
You're welcome 👍🏽
Get yourself the Werkes exhaust bud, in my opinion sounds a lot better. Curious to see you do a vid on the steering angles you can get from the screen and tank. Im weighting up getting heli bars. I like your idea of turning the heater switch a touch higher. The foam grips you added, is that a specific foam?
Hi bud whats the screen like on mine i have a powerbronze one was thinking off getting a puig one.
The Puig is a excellent screen. I've riding 5000 miles with it so far and it's still unscratched and clean looking. It's about 3" taller than the OEM screen at the center
If you ever want to sell your panniers, I would love to have them for my VFR
I may take you up on that offer. If you're on Facebook friend request Christopher Kelly . My bike is almost always on my profile
