@@Panza1965 Worked on you :) keep watching YN
I don't know if it's still running the factory ECU or it's a aftermarket you see something like a haltech. If it is an aftermarket ECU instead of worrying about reflashing it and doing all of that just make sure it has the flex fuel sensor. That way it can pick up how much ethanol is in the gas and then it can flip between the two automatically. Basically you put normal gas in it and ride around it's great then when you want to take it to the track if they have e85 throw it in computer picks that up and just changes the fuel mapping based on how much ethanol is in the fuel
i farted in my grandpas breathing machine
Yummy you buy beautiful powerful Motorcycles but there modded to death
Yam: NEVER buy a project bike!
Also Yam: *buys a $25,000 project bike*
haha h2 go brrr
@@yammienoob it'll be better once you downgrade it from roided out bath salts bike to normal sophisticated crack smoker bike
'Literbikes are no fun on the streets' - buys the most powerful of them all :P
@@yammienoob it goes *silence* because the battery is dead again.
@@Nickvdb93 he was going to use it as a mile bike. Not just for the streets like the squids
I've got the full specs of this build - reach out anytime. Let me know when you're ready to update it, I have a few new things we've been doing that help a lot with fueling and drivability. This bike will do 220+ in the 1 mile easily! I know, because I've done it, on this specific bike :)
Let's go!!! I'll reach out early next year and we'll get it sorted brotha
'he knows it's done it cause he did it on that bike..'⛑@@yammienoob..'220+..' hmmmm.
This is why I prefer keeping my bikes as close to stock as possible.
Exactly! If you need something different, simply buy something different
Also, this is why you don't buy a previous known race bike and except it to do well on public roads. My buddy did the same thing bought a bike that was previously used for racing only and then he wondered why he had so many issues daily driving it which ultimately led to it sitting for the last few years torn apart.
@@monstereng43 yep! Race bikes and messed up motors go hand in hand. Buying a crashed bike is almost better than track abuse.
Where's the fun in that? ;)
@@yammienoob I mean you have "built from scratch" kinda money, go build a Hellcat bike lol
Just wanted to say, it's nice to see videos where ya just sit down and talk about what's going on. Makes it feel like you're just kicking it with the audience. 👌
Kicking it with the Noob!!💯
Personally if I were in your shoes I'd pay the extra 5k to get a turn key h2.
The problems that it has might end up costing a pretty penny to resolve depending on what other gremlins are hiding inside.
I'd love to see a price comparison between getting this one turn key again vs just buying a new stock one.
Yeah but now he gets to do videos of follow up on this project, and we will watch them because we like the drama, and that’s all profit, so… bad bike makes for better content
@@armandblake That’s exactly why he bought it. Drama content. Let me buy an insane bike that someone decided to try and make even more insane and talk about how insane it is…and I think it’s great content🎉🎉🎉 I love learning about this stuff.
I have an H2 that has 54,000 miles. It can be a very easy bike to live with and still be able to go well 0ver 200 mph.
Get rid of that fuel pump. If you want an extra capacity pump get an H2R pump or just a proven aftermarket.
This bike with stage 3 gears will get a bit over 100 miles before it hits reserve...fix the fuel warning light.
Get a real map into this thing Woolich is dead easy to use and very useful.
The intercooler is about the only really good thing he did. In your area it is a blessing. The H2 hates heat, octane, and altitude.
You can live with this bike everyday, but as you said get it back to pump gas, get rid of those oversize injectors.
Put a stock battery back in it. No, you don't need extra output for a fuel pump. Also if the charging system is modified, bring it back to stock.
Just so you know the main reason an stock H2 shows such limited HP is because the stock ECU mapping only allow the throttle plates to open 38% at full throttle and RPM. Just flashing and getting the fuel right with the stock injectors will yield you a very nice bike.
Also the H2 when it is running properly is one of the smoothest bikes you will ever ride.
Bring it back to stock (leaving the stage 3 gears and intercooler) and invest in the Woolich, then remap using their tuning software and you will absolutely love this bike. Also if you can score a later model clutch with assist and slipper your left hand will thank me.
PUT the quickshifter back on.
I would also be very wary of that blow off valve. The stocker works well and is plenty noisy.
Get rid of that oil catch, and put the stock piping back in. That little bit of oil does nothing more than deposit itself on the filter, and guess what that catches dirt.
And in the end, if if is set up normall it is just as livable as the ZH2, with the benefit of wind protection. I seldom take it out on rides that are less than 350 miles on as many twisty roads as possible.
Ted
That's the highest mileage h2 I've heard of
You should absolutely keep going on this bike. Rob Dahm and his RX7 are a great example of the hard work paying off for a Beast of a ride.
Took that guy literally nine years to post a video of it driving
Bummed you had to go through all this, but very grateful you shared it. Feel like I learned some important pitfalls of owning a monster bike.
with great power comes great irresponsibility
"I bought a heavily modified race bike that started life as Kawasaki's effort to spit in God's face and it didn't turn out well"
Going to be interesting watching you go through this
it will, keep watching :) who knows where this will go lol
Just something to keep in mind, if you ever don’t want it I’ll happily buy it off you. I’m a 16 y/o who’s never ridden a motorcycle before and think that this bike would be the perfect introduction for a beginner and seems like lots of fun. I won’t kill myself I swear.
I hope and i know(not sure)you are joking.
If you start on a h2 the difference between you and this 💀,is none.
Love you sharing the pros and the cons and just a talking sit down video, makes it feel like us fans can connect with you closer! Love you bro ❤, ride safe 🏍️, and keep up the great videos 👍🏽! Good luck 🍀 with your H2, praying 🙏🏽 all issues get resolved!
Do whatever 650ib did. Massive power and no weird issues. But he spent the big bucks and did it right
A refreshingly honest assessment. Kudos.
Love the videos Yammie Noob, Sorry about the H2. Keep cranking out material man. We love this stuff. 💯🔥
Get a stock H2. Flash it, add exhaust and enjoy.
Love the behind the scenes stuff on production and as to why we get certain content. Good stuff for the gear heads but also easily consumable for casual fans.
I recently went down in cc on my new bike and feel like I have more fun on it now.
As for track vs road, there with you every step of the way
ZH2 the much lesser known gem of a bike. Can't wait for the official ZH2 in the stable for all the content.
ZH2 brothers, unite!
I'll join here, unite!
Unite!
Gr8 vid. It is also as interesting hearing abt the behind the scene quirks for daily regular ridings. Anyway, ride safe, god bless u.
Love this vid and your honesty. I did something simple with the exhaust and tune and went back and forth with the tune for three weeks until it was done just right. Super happy with it now but I don’t think I would go through the headache again.
I have an H2 SX SE and I love it. I have some modifcations done to give me around 250 hp to the rear wheel AND it's comfortable to ride all day (and I even have Panniers). That said... I STILL want to get a "real" H2 for the same reason you bought it... it is the final boss lol. Def glad I'll get to live vicarously through you on this one!!
Love these insider yammie noob vids, makes us feel a little closer to him as a creator
We work on H2's and we have a few in our shop collection. Including a Zh2. We have several videos on our channel riding them and tuning them. They are a handful for sure. You got that correct. Let us know if we can help you!
You got Uber excited.. I did the same on a 69 corvette in the 80s. There was no turning back once you made up your mind.
more power to you! I've still got the vet
Appreciate the ability to see OZ through the curtain. Life is an adventure. Ride it!
i'm daily riding my 18 H2 SX SE completely stock and i'm so happy about it. 0-407 meter i clock 220+ KPH at any crossroad around where i live. Love 'm stock, man
I have a 2016 h2 , full bolt on , race clutch and flashed ecu. Its a turn key daily bike with definitely more than enough power and thats coming from a turbo busa owner myself. just keep the fueling system simple, fix the gas light sensor and get ur self a air-fuel gauge and keep an eye on the supercharger temp if its hot outside.
Yeah I would've rather paid 5K more and got a brand new bike, but that's just me
Run a flex fuel sensor so that you can run pump gas on the street or whenever you want and have an e85 tune for mile runs where you can bring jugs
We have a Grand Father who has a tuned H2, brings it out to our drag strip every week, runs mid 9 second passes when he can keep the front wheel from going space shuttle, which is more than 1/2 the time. lol
Seriously, thanks for this. I just walked away from a 16 h2 cuz I felt it had too much done to it. Cams, injectors, sc gears etc. I really badly want one, but I feel like stock is plenty. Im currently on a gen 1 busa w just over 200 rwhp w basic mods. great, but I want more, to a degree. I felt the h2 was the next step. Ideally, stock, but modded deals were the majority of what came thru during my continuing search. Maybe, thanks to ur vid, I now know why. Keep up the stellar work. Thx
That’s why I like my 2018 H2 Sx
Super comfortable but plenty of power stock and dependable
My ZH2 is remapped
Makes 215hp to the tire (plenty for a road bike on the street)
Has a k-tech dds lite rear shock
(Handles well for road use)
SP engineering slip on
(Sounds great).
Overall as a road bike and bang for buck hard to beat, and has no modification issues .
I love it
Enjoying watching the H2 journey unfold. For the rest of us… I have an H2 SX SE and it has plenty of power to “teleport” in and around traffic, or enjoy a weekend ride. As an excessive daily rider it ticks all the boxes. Lol Otherwise get the ZH2 if you don’t want to wear the “sport tourer” moniker of shame. 😂
Funny the thumbnail says “it’s a mess” cause that’s what your entire channel is now.
so i think this is the official "too much bike" for yam. i think thats a good thing, knowing what bike is too much for you
Bought my 2016 zx14 for about $7,200 with less than 2000 miles. It had minor chips and bumps. I was afraid to buy it because of the low price. But I was very lucky because I've owned it since 2018 and it runs like a champ. If I were you, I would've paid the extra $5000 for a peace of mind.
Thanks for the Realism..!!
Being a mod head and apex owner is more than a simple purchase. Not only did you learn something about the H2, you also learned something about yourself. And that’s ok because that’s a life experience you were blessed to have at a relatively young age. The experience reminds me of people who see the joy and ease of having a baby but didn’t take into account the difficulties and dedication in raising a child.
Thanks for the heads up!
The "fuel economy" or complete lack of it, was really shocking.
It’s the natural downside to running e85 in anything to put out high hp. Doesn’t matter car or bike. You’ll make much more hp but easily cut your economy down to a 10th
Never buy another guys project bike or car.
Start with a clean slate, so you can F it up yourself.
Kyle energy is extra strong with this one
Turbo Busas are all hand built, impeccable quality control, never issue, endless working.
Love the ending! "Keep watching yammie noob!"
My neighbour has one stock. The ECU caps it at 185 and he is sure of it because he has been there many times. He used it as a work commuter. I don't know about modifying them though if using them on the street or non competition You already have a bike that will do 200+ with an ECU flash. It seems to me that Yammie should do one mile event before returning it to normal fuel. Get it to do what he paid for and then bring it back to road capable.
All Japanese bikes are "capped" at 186mph or 300kmh. Like you said, it will easily go over 200 if flashed, and most liter bikes will. Google "motorcycle gentlemen's agreement". TLDR the manufacturers agreed to "cap" all bikes at 186 to avoid strict motorcycle laws and regulations.
Thanks for the explanation no actual rider needed
@@williamdavis4809 Are you on your period dude? Like you needed to say something angry and irrelevant just to curse the world? Give it five days mate, you will chill out.
Yams! Absolutely correct on the numbers vs practicality. Even though I hold my CBR bird in high regards for playful reliability, I will confess that I'd settle for a good 10 incher just for the H2 SX. Because why the hell not?
You actually swayed me in my decision making process. Thank you for the inside look on what it’s like. For me it was between a ZH2 or a Normal H2 like yours. But now I think I am going to pick up a Z instead. Awesome video yams!
Definitely get the Z! Way more fun
Must be nice to have money for that kinda toy. Very jealous
The z was brilliant but I rode mine for 20 days and the motor dropped an exhaust valve in the 3rd cylinder it’s a $23,000 warranty job that Kawasaki insists on fixing and not replacing. It’s bone stock a 2022 ZH2 they only offered free accessories. It’s been over 2 months since I’ve seen the bike last. Just be warned if you get any issues it will take forever to get parts or anything fixed due to the fact parts have to come oversees. Best bike I’ve ever rode but man it’s a pain. Should be done in a couple weeks however so looking forward to pulling some more dank nooners
@@brianpersson8341 get hustling. Losers say "it must be nice"
@@badhonky6473 ignorant af, dudes just jealous he gettin a nice bike Y u pressed lmao
Maturity wrestles our youth. The race is long, and it's only with ourself. Great vid(s)!
Sit-down with Yammie. Gold.
Great video Yammie, what a monster of a bike although 100km range is a bit low I suppose . If I could afford something like that, I would never sell it, maybe stick it in the lounge room and watch TV while sitting on it, once you've finished with the riding fun of course.
High performance = high maintenance . Just how things work .
thanks for sharing
Go see Chris Moore, If you have a power commander you would be able to run pump gas or MR12 with a toggle switch. Good luck with the H2. That would be amazing collaboration...
pump gas might not be possible unless you downgrade to stage 2 gearing in the supercharger. regular gas wont have the cooling effect e85 provides for the motor. regular gas does not run as cold. regular gas with the stage 2 gearing will give you the ultimate street bike with no overheating issues!
Haha welcome to the H2 club welcome to the finicky world, that is the H2. Excited to see where this bike takes you. The ZH2 is also more rideable with that twitchy H2 throttle
It should be a drinking game for every time he says “I have a turbo Hayabusa.”
My H2 slip on SC Project can then re-flashed and thats it 248 HP and turn key no probs at all, absolutely love this beast 😎👍🇦🇺🏍
I loved the zH2 content. Would love to see more content on it
I smell a money pit but anytime you're racing, you're spending. Id refresh it, lower the gearing and and take it to Bonneville. My Harley FXR has a built 84" motor with over 100hp. The 4.5 gallons of race fuel gets me 80-100 miles down the road, mixed riding of city crusin, highway or red light racing. MAD FUNN
On a totally different scale in performance and time I did the same thing around 1976 on my 1974 Norton 850 Commando. I installed a belt driven supercharger (impeller) on it and had nothing but problems to gain about 25 HP. Yes it was the fastest Norton around but it ruined the handling and was unreliable. All the weight of the kit was on the left side and you had to counter-steer to go straight. I took it off. Since the H2 was factory supercharged it will work as stock just fine. Do it. Take it back to stock and you will love it.
Love your vid especially the schlong comment , I'm not an h2 rider 😉 but am methanol c16 turbo stage two completely modified with all the bells and whistles. So I enjoyed you telling it like it is as stators, reg /rec , batteries ,extra fans , and the occasional , motec , ams2000,pc5, methanol controller will make enjoying the ride obviously more difficult then others . However to have f22 fighter jet power! I expect to have to constantly take extra steps to ensure I don't fall out of the sky . Lol 😆
I say keep it love it for what it is and go and buy what ever you want instead of changing the beast into a daily driver, leave it in beast mode or sell it to someone who will enjoy it for what it is ! Thanks again for the vid keep em coming
when you talked about all the mods, i immediately thought what kind of bugaboo's are going to pop up and there they are. are there more to come? will more pop up with the changes you make?
Great Vid. Is it just worth keeping it as a track weapon?
You need a Chris Moore/Moore Mafia Makeover 🤣🤣
I was seriously considering doing a supercharger mod on my Thruxton R, but the E85 thing combined with the fuel pump and injectors would have practically limited the bike to the drag strip and the Bonneville Salt Flats.
Maybe one day I'll still pull the trigger but I figured it cost $7000 all in to get ready to ride. Small mods that don't effect what you can do is probably the better approach when you cross the line is when things usually become a pain in the a$$.
My H2 is stock and is just super fast and totally outrageously crazy enjoyable.
I don't think its necessarily directed towards just the h2 or race bikes i think this should go towards any used bike no matter if its a small little 50cc pit bike or a 1000cc + you just have to do your home work. Make sure the seller isn't trying to pull a fast one, talk with him and ask questions. Take the time to overlook every detail you need to. If the seller gets impatient about you taking your time well then just leave because that's not a good impression. Race bikes are tough because they're automatically at higher risk for issues for the amount of abuse they get from day one.
It pretty clear as to why the previous owner wanted to get rid of it.. .
This is karma for betraying the Turbo Busa gods and getting a H2
I bought an 03 BMW K1200 I heard a sound on it when I test road it but still bought it anyway. It needs a clutch haha 😂
E85 is really hard on fuel systems, racing vehicles in general are notoriously unreliable too. But it only needs to go a mile right?
A smart move to go back to 93 on the H2, E85 is a pain on the street with the crap fuel mileage. My turbo Busa likes gas, but it still gets 100 miles on a tank ripping on the freeway
When you’re finally ready to go ludicrously fast with reliability and in comfort… Concours 14.
Can you rent H2’s for the 200mph experience a couple times without dropping 25k+?
I'm dipping my toes into the bike world so i don't know a lot about them yet, especially projects. But ive spent years into car projects and i must say that almost all the complaints are pretty standard points with cars XD.
Do you want a fuck ton of power? Ethanol. Yes, it will be a pain in the ass on cold starts, it will reduce autonomy (by a lot), and it will be a little clunkier to ride (we deal with whole 3rd party ECUs, gas pumps, oil pumps, etc), but extreme projects are not made to be commuting, economic, smooth driving things. (my take, again, I don't know much about the bike world, and about yammie's intention with the bike.)
I do understand that in the U.S., Ethanol is not that common, so I believe that is the major problem (brazil has it on all gas stations). I can understand the "changing it back" option if you want to ride it often and to greater distances.
But, a project H2 wouldn't be a bike i would take on a city-to-city ride or trip. It would be my second or third bike that i would specifically own to yeet myself into infinity on some fast road i know or track, even.
Most of the problems you are getting are problems young car guys have when they want to have the project car but use it on a daily basis.
A project ride is something I would WANT to devote time, money, and circumstance to achieve something unique, and for a unique purpose.
If little old me could tip in, don't change anything in the bike. Keep it as a very specific bike for that very specific day and spend time tuning it to perfection. You already bought the battery, it will no longer die out. Keep that line of thought.
You will have a unique Yammie Monster that you personally crafted to your liking, and leave daily yammie to enjoy OEM smooth Daytona's revving.
If the bike is off of every plan you have on riding, i would simply sell it XD.
Yammie saw, yammie rode, bye bye,
(but, no, seriously, wtf do i know, your bike, your money, your rules).
Currently have a mt10 and it’s almost paid off thinking about getting a stock h2 and just doing an exhaust and Ecu flash, maybe honestly it’s plenty of bike as it is
Graves does a good off the shelf flash.
If that's not enough? Well superduke, just beef up the radiator mount/tank has extra thicc rubbers on the gas tank. Very least check that it has been.
-Superduke owner.
Dude I've been following you since you bought that bike. I'm the FLASH.That was bike on Moore Mifias dyno. Dude you shouldn't be having those problems with that bike. I suffered none of the above. I'm also tuned on 93 with a MRX02 2nd tune switch. I hate that you're having these problems but I'd love if you could get it to Chis Moore in Taylors, SC. I'll keep watching and hopefully your guys can get it right.
a few days in an yam is already having buyers remorse lol
This is all on you for buying such a worked bike. Would have been so much better to get a newish stock one and do a build series with it and take us along for the ride.
Damn you really told me bro
@@yammienoob not supposed to be some sort diss sensitive sally. You bought a bike that’s been through it’s paces, runs on race gas that isn’t supplied around you, no gas gauge. It’s a mess and not surprising whats happening. I wish you the best of luck getting it running again.
@@Omar-bh8yf thank you brotha
@@yammienoob Ha ha ha
gday mate on ur next project mabe try supercharge or turbo a new rocket 3. great vids mate
I think you should try and do what people do for cars, have two tunes for the bike so that it can run e85 or regular pump fuel so that you’re not confined to one or another, pump gas for when you’re just around town and then e85 for when you’re trying to move through time and space
Where does one get the "18 inch schooling " ??? Have shoes , will travel !!
An H2 SX modified would probably have been a decent mile event bike lol but yeah the mod bug is a disease that we somehow love
3:55 I would definitely convert it back. 😅
Hope you find a good angle on that 18 inc/h2
AWESOME BIKE ! ! ! ! ! !
I like my bikes stock, never have any problems.
I’ve had 7000 trouble free miles out of my H2. Love the bike
DA Award - lol - suprise! Yeah - lsr bikes eat fuel,and parts! Have fun!!! Also I am of course forwarding all this content concerning this and your Busa to Jim H. - for him this has to be the biggest laugh! Being one of those rare folk who do this for a living.
Lol at "Saved 5000 dollars". Paying an extra 5k for a bike straight from the factory working as Kawi intended over a bike that has 10 different problems arising from all the previous mods sounds like a decent deal to me. There's a reason why in resale "mods" aren't really considered "enhancements"
All I heard was "supercharged VMax"...LoL. Hell yeah-get one!
this is why I love 600s for the street. are they way too fast for the street still? perhaps. but they're simple, fast, and they're not gonna time skip into the 7th dimension an have 5 mile long gears like a h2 or the equivalent
Yammie it sounds like the stator and rectifier aren't strong enough to keep up with the accessories and charging the battery simultaneously
I've got a '22 h2 sx and I love it. I always understood people buying the standard h2. It's the legal h2 made for speed. The sx is speed and comfort. I got the sx (with saddlebags hate me if you want) so I'd want to ride it more often and take it for moee errands like getting groceries or takeout so the car can just sit. But the zh2 to me has always seemed like the bargain brand. Like you got your Nissan GTR with hubcaps and left out the air bags and speakers to save money
So my landspeed racing partner at Black Art Racing, Greg Watters, has been developing parts for the H2's for some time now. He has teamed with Extreme Creation in Australia to manufacture and sell these improved parts. I am wondering if you have the intercooled plenum and suspect you have some of the available supercharger gears--- maybe they went too far with the gears?? I have seen these bikes at the mile events we go to and with that short wheelbase they are a handful to launch and keep the front end down in the lower gears. And the guys at Boomstune are great, and another Texas builder near them with a great rep is Shane Stubbs at STPI in Porter Texas.
Fuel conversion and tuning the bike will be the best option
Yammie Noob begins his long slow journey to having a Kawasaki Vulcan as his daily ride. 😎
All my H2 s were in dealer stock, except the H2R which took a year from Dep / order.
