I will yummy 😋 😊 lol.. I have a honda cbr300r as my delivery bike 🏍 but I can't get no parts for it could u help I leave in Jamaica
I have been subbed for a year and have been waiting all this time to see the turbobusa! We need as many people to sub now to hear the beast of a bike!
Once again I can't watch a video without you praising Rossi as he he is your lord and savior dude if you would just drop the whole Rossi s*** your videos and be the s*** man I watch them for two years and finally I just got fed up with the Rossi praise Rossi everything's about Rossi I can even deal with the ball shaving
No Guzzi parts at the store!?
I've became a new member. Love your videos. Great coach with amazing tips.
The first mod I got for my Ninja 400 was a Panigale V4S. Major improvement
Nice... im sure that pumped up your resale 🤙
😆
@@cuttsick8333 ou
Best mod, now only Desmos to keep right
😂😂😂
1) exhaust
2)comfort mods
Seat. Bar risers. Heated grips
3)aesthetic mods
Tail tidies. Low pro led blinkers. Mirrors.
4) frame and axel sliders. Case savers (not engine mounted sliders)
5)tires
Keep stock parts just in case you need them later.
Id put tires at first imo, depends on the bike but i think tires are the priority
Living vicariously through Yammie's videos. Never touched a motorcycle, never been on one. Would like to ride. Why am I on a mods video? Well. Good question. I don't know
Don't be lame. Get on some cheap two wheels! Rebel 500 or sv650 bro!
Get a 🏍
@@mexifry222 honestly a rebel 500 is what I'd like to get. I love the look of cruisers!
@@slothmarathonpromotions2470 one day! Gotta make the time to learn, the motorcycle culture seems great
@@leodileo take the MSF class. 2 days of your time and you’ll be confident enough to take the plunge. Shadow 750 here. Super cheap but plenty of power to grow into without being intimidating. Good luck fellow new rider (or soon to be).
Bridgestone S22 is a great tire. Long lifespan, smooth ride, and has a solid grip. They are pricey, but we'll worth it.
Worth every cent 👍🥳
Tbh they are on the cheaper side of tires, that just makes them even better. Great bang for buck
@@metalmoto3275 Cheaper ? 😳
Compared to Pirelli's maybe.... but that's about it...
@@literal_lee considering it cost me 330 bucks to put them on my mt10 I would say they are cheaper
@@metalmoto3275 nah there are several different types of much cheaper tires. For a street tire they are pricey. Not outrageous, but definitely not on the cheap side.
New tyres is the best mod i`ve done to my bike so far. The bike drives, corners and stops a lot better. Also do the brake job for safer stopping.
As a beginner i thank the previous owner for istalling frame sliders, it saved me when i crashed by keeping my fairings intact even tho it was really rashed up and cracked.
Same. My faded gixxer only lost a mirror and the tip from the front brake when I dropped it in front of all the neighbours. They're still laughing about it.
Can we ever get to 1 milli??? I want to see the Turbo Busa!! 🙏😩
everyone just needs to share the channel on facebook, Get grandma to subscribe for all we care.
Or everyone should just create an other account and subscribe
No its these people that watch but purposely dont subscribe because they are sad and just hate their life lol. The last thing they want to do is help someone else succeed, most channels have a lot of viewers like that that always watch but will dislike and wont subscribe, its sad

People love to hate.

Heated grips (a little sleet came down today...still rode the bike!), bark busters, wider foot peg clamp-ons, wind screen extension to clean up the air, and some handlebar risers. Oh, and grip stickers to go on the tank to stop body sliding around on bike under hard braking. So far all mods have made for a better riding experience.
I approve windshields, great for using the airstream to clear the visor of rain, also cuts wind noise when you want to better ear for what your engine is doing.
Number 5 is bob on. I work in the motor trade and have this discussion regularly.
Usually solved by this: Your tyres make up 100% of the grip contact area with the road. If they lose grip, you will become a passenger flying first class to the scene of the accident. No amount of braking or steering will affect that.
Cheap tyres vs quality tyres can be the difference between having a butt puckering moment through a puddle and coming out alive, or skidding right off the road.
i'm on a cb125f (2021) and absolutely. after pre-warning the local shop what exact size my tires are, and getting some gucci mich's on, it made a world of difference compared to whatever crap came stock.
premium tyres-first thing ANY biker should do to ANY bike.
If you riding on the road and use 100% of your grip on your tires. You are doing something terrible wrong. So wear full gear, even if it is a little hot, or cold… chilly… good weather to ride in bikini or underwear.
@@Gismo3333 You’d be surprised. I’ve had it myself in a car a few times, even going only 40/50mph and felt the front or rear twitch a little as it aquaplanes and re-grips.
It’s very easy to bust 100% grip in the rain, ice, snow or even just wet leaves…
@@Gismo3333 100% grip on chinese ditchfinders is still almost zero grip.
100% if it's your bike, cheap tyres are good to throw on a bike that you're selling though so always a point to look at when buying a bike used
I finally got my r3 and started riding after years of watching you and this channel. Thanks for all the info and helping me pull the trigger!
Pretty cool, I just got my r3 a month ago and she treats me way too nice!
Are you still riding your r3 and if so are you thinking of upgrading to something bigger or still happy with it
@@jw9517 I’m still riding it, it’s a mixed bag for me tbh, the addiction is really starting to hit and I naturally want something more powerful but I don’t need it, I’m having a blast on my r3 because of just how lightweight it is. My first bike was actually technically a Honda shadow 750 so moving to the r3 was a world of difference and I’m still enjoying the weight a lot so far
@@tonyhigh6058 thx for the reply much appreciated I’m leaning more towards a “starter” bike for my first bike but like the idea of an r7
@@jw9517 yeah I’m considering an r7 as my next bike, but the rs660 is more appealing to me if I can find a dealership nearby
Just put my frame sliders on my '18 r3 the other day. Was waiting for the frame slider portion of the video so i could feel accomplished in my decision. Then papa yam says to not get engine mounted ones and it's the exact picture of the shoguns i bought...
This is highly dependent on how the bike is built. Just because it doesn't work on one bike doesn't mean it doesn't work on all bikes.
I would like the first mod people do when buying a car or a motorbike be a quieter than stock exhaust. Hate loud sounds of vehicles passing by my window or when I’m walking down the street.
Grips. Always change factory grips. Even for non heated. Huge difference. I bought Pro Grip 713 for my bike and they made real difference. Especially for beginner bikes where manufacturer look for cost cutting. And yeah, tires 2nd best upgrade after grips
Great video. So true! I pitched my Duke to an additional 15hp with mods! Totally worth it!
Only get the polyurethane sliders (maybe aluminum are okay), but avoid ceramic because they shatter. For case covers, I'm partial to the Yoshimuras fit and finish.
Awesome Office Space reference
Papa yams can you give us a turbo busa video for Christmas? We’ve been good little squidletts this year
God willing we will get there! Let's go!
I agree with everything but the levers. They're too fragile and cheap to avoid. A lot of bikes don't offer truly adjustable levers.
+1 on seat. I have Seat Concepts. It looks great. Really comfy.
I dropped in Ricor Intiminators (fork emulators), which really changed the ride. Very little brake dive now, and it feels much more planted. These are a great solution for older dual sport bikes.
Yup, a comfy seat makes a huge difference. I didn’t realize how uncomfortable the seat was on my first bike til I got my second bike and it was like night and day.
I'll say that the aftermarket cans on my bike didn't add value to me, but I'm not complaining that the prior owner installed them. Totally agree on the tacky garbage like stickers and obnoxious paint schemes and underbody lights. Used market is full of clapped out or crashed out sports bikes as well. You couldn't even give me one that someone threw an extended swingarm on.
That extended swingarm tells you they drag raced regularly and often...I'd pass too.
Great tips, thanks for posting!! 🔥💪
just watched this video after wrecking my bike I got on Monday tired sliped in a turn so new tires would be good and the stator cover got a brand new hole in so recommend 4 5 on the lol
Love the fact at the end. Awesome 😎
ASV makes nice levers, I have them on my r1m. Love them.
For cheap tires o sport bikes, I recommend the Shinko Stealths, super grippy once warmed up. But they are single compound so don't go doing burnouts with them.
I think the oil sink slider cover is the most important item on the list. Followed closely by the other frame and axle sliders.
First thing I did to my bike was actually get vortex 3.0 adjustable levers because the stock ones didn’t fit right for me lol. After that I got a slip on leo Vince LV10 and a tail tidy. Oh and a gear indicator cuz I’m terrible at keeping track of the gear I’m in lmfao. Still have all the stock parts though just in case
Well Mountain Dew contains citric acid and carbonated water is acidic as well, so given enough time sure would dissolve organic tissue.
Sometimes yes to a new windscreen !
i had a small crack in me windscreen, changed it out with the Kawa "improved" windscreen, it was 11 inches higher.
The bike looked the same, but the new windscreen took the wind load off my chest, making for a more comfortable ride.
Which bike do you have
I had Pirelli Scorpion II tyres on my Multistrada. Kind of an 85/15 on/off road tyre, they were excellent on road, little bit slippery off road though.
I use a Bridgestone 55/45 rear, and a 35/65 front and feel no difference on the road, but on the dirt it’s not a perfect tire, but does the job.
Then again I ride an old enduro dual sport bike, so different game to other disciplines
@@klo1679 i used the Dunlop D605 on my dual sport before I upgraded to a more aggressive offroad tyre.
Keep the awesome coming!
Test ride my XR-1200...you can keep it for a month. Put new sneakers on it, (Pirelli Angel GT2) Ohlins rear piggy back shocks and fully floating aftermarket discs up front with braided steel lines. Vance and Hines, K&N and correct mapping for fuel/exhaust mods. Seat sucks...gotta get a after market Corbin. (rear sets too). You won't burn your boot.
As a new vintage bike owner, the only mods I'm doing are ones that keep it running. Aftermarket exhaust for sound and aesthetics? More like aftermarket exhaust because my exhaust from the 80s has a complete sever under the right foot peg and I'm basically straight piped lol.
Great video! Thanks.
I bought Shinko 777s for my cruiser, lol. Thats what the prior owner had, which seemed fine to me, so I bought them again. Nice, fat, WW tires that perform just fine, even during break in.
visibility, visibility, lights, lights, more lights in front, and more lights at the tail, and reflectors on the sides and on the garments.
I used Shinko raven 009’s from 2017 to 2022, and they worked amazing commuting, straight line 100+ mph and on my track day, leaned all the way over. No issues whatsoever and I installed them myself and I ride an 05 r6
I always felt shinkos was a good brand. I always bought them for my scooters.
Nice! Been waiting for a vid like this. Great idea!
I just got my first bike 10 days ago.. a Z400. Already did the tail tidy, flush led blinkers with green running lights, and a new led taillight with built in blinkers. Bike came with frame sliders and rim tape :p Also has knee grips and a ram mount and a medium sized windscreen. was honestly thinking about the color matching levers.. but nah. Will definitely wanna go for a better seat tho. 👍
I have a Z400. I love it! I think I’m going to get a Z900 in addition next summer.
welcome to biking!! enjoy 👍😁
@@arielrosenthal_ nice! screw it, just go with the H2! :P
@@busabros2480 thank you! having lots of fun so far!
I have a Z400 and love it! Aside from a bit of vibes it's pretty much perfect.
Tip: when going for a different seat, see if there is a custom seat shop near you, in my experience they cost almost the same or a little more, but you get a seat specifically made for you, making it look unique and fot your body and style
The part that you mentioned about the comfort mods where the person is fantasizing, while at work- that’s me right now watching motorcycle videos while I’m trying to get work done🙃
Especially if you have a new motorcycle my opinion full exhaust if you have the money, they got o2 sensors on them now and the computer can update itself a good bit. If the bike don’t have o2 sensors well it may cost more then the exhaust just to tune it if u want it to run great depending on the year u have.
About to get my first bike. Just the video I need💪🏽💪🏽
What did you get?
You can buy header pipes to shed a bunch of weight and get a quick flash. All in you’ll get more HP, probably some torque and drop a TON of weight.
Interesting vid. Ride safe, god bless u.
Papa Yamm.
Can wait to see you turbo Busa🥰
Love from Mumbai 🇮🇳
Stickers on the windshield are the hot setup where I live.
First mod on my Raider was a new speedo plate hahaha
Second was a nice new 240. 😎
just my Akrapovic slip on but the 800 dollar one looks frkn amazing on my gsf bandit......and come on we need 5 more thousand people to see that Busa.
I was so excited you guys added the search by bike tool. I thought, “Surely, SURELY, Yammy will carry something for all the bikes they had given away.” Then I was bummed because nothing came up for the Rebel 1100. It was a terrible assumption.
It made sense
Thank you for the condolences. Perhaps Spite will bully Yam into more expansive cruiser gear offerings.
I just picked up the title for my bike yesterday!! I got a 05 Honda Shadow Spirit 750! Thank you so much for the information Yammie!
Congrats Katherine, enjoy your ride
I'm looking at an 07 Shadow 750 for commuting off and on. How are you liking it so far?
Good advice. I spent 50% of the new bike price on upgraded parts. Guess what, I got no extra for the bike when I sold it. But, and it's a big butt, I learned a shit load about brakes, suspension, engine performance and other stuff in the process and had a bucket load of fun. The list: Up graded brakes 2 pot to 6 pot calipers, Race Tech front suspension, Ohlin rear shock, seat upgrade, full exhaust added dynamic tested 10 HP, and cosmetic products. Handlebars, mirrors, Midgard extenders, cosmetic tidy up items. But not again.
I've spent a bit on retro-fitting and restoring to stock on lots of things from bikes to cars... Nothing against after-market. I think the fixation on stock is over-rated, personally...
BUT on a Suzuki, about requires something aftermarket exhaust just to run smoothly... There's a few things I know I'll be doing anyway... BUT I pop into these vid's just to hear and see the things most often recommended AGAINST... either for being over-sold or outright destructive or dangerous... It never hurts to get another perspective, even a "wise-ass" perspective. ;o)
Yammie wtf, taller windscreen absolutely protects you from cold wind, insects, birds, rocks and noise.
Bought revzillas cheapest sport tire , the dunlap sport something 300’s for $190 a set . Currently 500 miles in and enjoying them a ton for the price. Heard there good quality just don’t last as long as more pricey ones
Great video 👍
first mod for my r1 is buying a mt03 for the winter to keep the beast clean.
Try sc1. It's pretty good
that turbo sound in the begining.... sheeesshhhhhhhhh turboo bussaaaaaaaaaaaaa
When I bought my bike it had some cheap aftermarket levers. The clutch lever was actually cutting the clutch cable and I had to replace it not too long after I bought it.
So true. When I bought my first bike I took it everywhere. Within a year I stopped riding everyday.
4:40 OH BOY IT ME
4:36- Literally me right now! How did you know?!
from personal experience while i realise an exhaust system doesnt necessarily add value to a bike, as in if u put a 3k exhaust on a bike u wont get 3k back, it does make the bike slightly easier to sell. Personally, if im buying a second hand bike, i look for ones that have already have the mods i want like an exhaust. I wont buy a 2nd hand bike with a stock exhaust.
Most newer full exhaust systems. Do not need tuned unless you run with the baffle out. Hell a booster plug will even increase fuel by 6%
hehe the Qld licence plate, nice to see my home state in aus represented
Mods do in fact increase value when done correctly as a proper build I've sold a 05 cbr600f4i with 32k miles for 9300 because it had some discontinued wheels that I regret selling cause you CAN NOT find any aftermarket wheels for an f4i anymore and a custom tube full frame amd.swing arm it sold.within 2 hours so I could have asked way more and sat on if for.a bit
Perelli SRT are so awesome.
First mod i got for my bike was new brake pads, tyres and braided brake lines
My bike came with the pirelli angel gts on them so I guess I got lucky there, but they are at their 5 year mark this year so I may change them before next year.
I have a Suzuki DR650, and I've managed to avoid doing too many mods. All I have done to it is an IMS fuel tank, racks and hard cases, TM40 pumper carb, full exhaust, supertrapp silencer, LED lights, 3D printed taillight, heavier springs, stage two cam, high compression piston, 4mm oversize intake an exhaust valves, gel seat, trailtech vapor display, and a K&N filter. I did splurge on a tail-tidy but I didn't want to get crazy with mods.
You say you didnt want to get heavy with the mods yet I count 16 of them?????
@@hell_march6652 That's the joke...
The only mod i did on my bike is just bar end light, and dang is so cool...
I put spike grips on my VTX1800 only to take them off after the one on throttle side was barely able to give it any gas
hmmm ? first mod just about any new / modern bike needs is a radiator guard .. unless it comes with one.
Most. Most mods decrease value. Adventure bikes don't lose value when they have aftermarket crash bars and pannier racks when they don't come from the factory with them. Also maintenance mods generally may add a little value, some models have mechanically inferior parts that that model's community will have a well known fix for. If it's a lot of work, that will be a nice to have if a previous owner has done it especially if professionally installed. They may not add value, but they don't decrease value.
As a cruiser rider (Yamaha Royal Star Tour Deluxe) my five top mods are in no particular order:
1 LED headlights front/rear/brakes/turn signals.
2 Highway pegs
3 Barnett clutch springs
4 Heated Grips
5 Flashing brake lights
Just make sure the flashing brake lights aren't excessive. A light that flashes every time it's turned on may be more hazardous than helpful.
I always love that mountain dew story.
@8:02 Rawhyde 🤣 been there before!
got pierlli str scopians on my suzuki gs500f. they are so much better and gripper than the m/c racers i had on previously. laugh all you want. its beincing an adventure tourer for me
Yammie is going to bring back the midweight Supersport with all the new riders hese getting on the road. They'll soon graduate to 600s thank God for yobbie knob
Whoops. I did the Noob thing and bought the full exhaust pipe and muffler. Damnit. Especially on the Honda grom clone 😂But it sounds good.
That exhaust ain't no lie😂😂😂 just slapped one on today
I'm doing my part! 👍
The KTM part tho😆😆
You named a few tires there, how you feel a bout a Continental Conti-Blitz? Front too, of coarse.(about 1,000 lb Street Cruiser)
Not gonna lie, didn’t realize how much I would miss the yamcast till I stopped seeing it show up 🥺
3:48 no one is gonna talk about how we just got told not to build an Oppressor MKII? XD Thanks Yammie
I feel attacked.
Just bought a VStar1300, looked at Michellin Commander II tires but then thought... man this Shinko's are so much cheaper... and yes on Amazon. All while I'm drinking a Mt. Dew. Haven't ordered them or anything, but just lining up what I need to do first, and what gear I want to get first. Even though I'm not a new rider, I haven't had a bike in years so I'm binging your videos.
Statement of the decade dropped ladies and gentlemen
“Your papa won’t do you dirty like that”🤣
8:00 was that shade tree surgeon lol
Hate to state the obvious, but, great writing. I like motorcycles and good advice, but I also like strong writing. Very nice.
Nice...I recognize Loop 360.
Yammie so close to 1 mil
I believeeeeeee
I'm getting my first bike next week and its a 06 Honda Shadow VT750 with flames and skulls from that time all over it lol.. so I need to have it painted or powder coated but I don't really know which way I should go
My very 1st mod is changing the horn for a bicycle bell. 2nd i like to add one of those clown honkers. Lol im kidding
I have already broken a few of these rules …. RIM tape ….. is one 🤦
Yammie Noob, please recommend a full case saver for the 2022 Yamaha R7. Thanks
I have to disagree about the windscreen. At least for a cruiser motorcycle. A good windscreen can make your riding experience so much more enjoyable, especially if you ride in a cool climate. Also, if you’re riding long distances, it can save a real beating on your chest by blocking a majority of the wind.
imho tires should be the first. Doesn't matter of car, or bike, or bicycle. Good tires are paramount.
I just bought my bike yesterday and I’m picking it up today at 6pm are crash caves better than frame sliders????
