While uploading to TH-cam, the compression YT applies made it even worse :(

[@azzwhupin]

ist einfach ein mega bike und wahrscheinlich total underrated !
Allzeit knitterfreie Fahrt !

[@rafamasterz]

Wow, amazing sound

[@timsessl]

Thank you!

[@triplethreathighlights3266]

Nice bike

[@timsessl]

Thanks man! Appreciate it :)

[@keltecdan]

These roads remind me of the backroads of Tennessee.

[@ktm_tim]

Sehr geile strecke, da fahr ich auch immer lang, kandern/scheideck

[@Bram_Brum]

Hi, the bike sounds great! 👍 Is it with DB killer in?
And did you have any problems with installing the exhaust (some people said that they had problems with installing)?
I'm thinking about buying this exhaust as well

[@timsessl]

Thank you! Yes the DB-Killer is installed. And no absolutely no problems. It was my first time installing an exhaust and it was a breeze. If you have any problems though just write a comment and I will try to help out!

[@connermacmanusbikebikepack7196]

Hi, schönes Video! Fährst du den Mivv mit DB Killer?

[@timsessl]

Yep, der ist drinne. Danke!

[@tomriley_bike]

Sounds absolutely mega and nice riding too! Can’t see anything on the schematic but does this exhaust have a removable baffle? I’m thinking of getting one for my F900XR.

[@timsessl]

Yes it does! Sounds super rowdy with the baffle removed. Doesn't ruin the sound either, the pops and bangs get sooo loud and especially the bang on upshift sounds incredible!!! Here it is not legal tho and it's just a little bit too loud for me without hearing protection in, so I keep it installed. It's just one screw a nut and a crush washer and the baffle comes out.

[@tomriley_bike]

@@timsessl thanks for the fast reply! Ride safe 🙏

[@timsessl]

@@tomriley_bike sure man! I'm gonna quickly upload a little Clip without the baffle and send it to you

[@timsessl]

Ride Safe!

[@Win7ermu7e]

So is keeping it A2 just on the honour system or how does that work ? We dont have that in Canada. Thx.

[@timsessl]

Hey, if I understand your question correctly you are asking if someone checks if you keep your bike restricted or not, correct?
If that's the case then no not really. When registering the bike they can obviously check, but after that noone checks again. If you get pulled over and they suspect something they can find out and then it's basically driving without a license which is very serious over here. But I could just put an ecu flash on it and noone would probably know, but I don't want to take that risk.

[@Robrecht_van_Bethune]

Nice riding 👍🏼. Which tire pressure do you use?
I have an 900xr at the moment and i use 2.4 front and 2.7 rear. With the contiroadattack-4.

[@timsessl]

Thanks! I have the CRA4's aswell and use factory tyre pressure with 2.5 and 2.8/2.9 because I want lots of feedback and a pretty stiff tyre :)
My bike is in service right now to get some Michelin Power 5's, let's see how they compare :D
Ride safe!

[@Robrecht_van_Bethune]

@timsessl Ah yes, I was thinking the same, to take more sporty tires next time instead of sport-touring tires. My continental have been new since last month.
I rode the Power 5 on my street triple. Did a trackday in the rain as well. They are very good, you will like them but you'll have less mileage compared to the CR4 of course.
I was thinking about the Pirelli Diablo Rosso 4. Some people talk very positive about them.

[@timsessl]

@@Robrecht_van_Bethune I will have to try them out after the Power 5's maybe! I got the recommendation from my brother who also has a Street Triple and said they were pretty good price to performance... On the CRA4's I only got about 4300KM of riding before the rubber was completely gone. I'm hoping to get about the same or more out of the Power 5 :)

[@Robrecht_van_Bethune]

@timsessl 4300 is not much, I was hoping you would say 14000 km on sport-touring tires 😅. I did about 8000 km on the power5 and 14000 on the Road5. All depends on riding style and bodyweight... and tire pressure. You live in an area which is like a racetrack. Lots of twisties and open roads.We in Belgium have lots of straights and traject controls..
Your brother is right. They perform excellent on treet triple. Sure, you will enjoy them as well.

[@shadiandrew]

If you travel back in time but keep the knowledge you have now about this bike, would you buy it again?

[@timsessl]

I dont think I would. Its an amazing bike all around and i really love everything about it but the engine is a little to "emotionless" for me... at least in the long run.
If I had the chance to own it again for a year or two later when I have another bike I would definitely do it!
If you personally are looking for a very controllable powerband with good tourq all around then its definitely a very good bike but rn I want something more rowdy and revvy...
The biggest upside to the F900 in my opinion is that its super controllable for a big bike with lots of fun tec stuff and good comfortability for longer rides plus some good power when you wann or need it...

[@ralf14479]

Schönes Video. Was hast du für eine Abdeckungen, für die Halterungen der original Spiegel benutzt?

[@timsessl]

Danke dir! Gibt es von "LSL", habe ich bei Louis gefunden.
Die Liste in der Beschreibung ist ergänzt :)

[@ralf14479]

@@timsesslDanke!

[@philipf8774]

What is this blinking light on the dash? Nice bike man. Ride safe :)

[@timsessl]

Thanks bro! It's the shift light telling me to get ready for an upshift. It's already flashing because my bike was restricted to 48hp at that time and the powerband flattens out early in the rev's.

[@mrmerz666]

Sweeet 🎉

[@mrmerz666]

Passen die Lenkerenden von K-Maxx ins Standardgewinde rein eigentlich? Bin nämlich auch gerade noch auf der Suche nach Lenkerendenspiegeln und bin mir noch nicht sicher was da ne gute Option ist.

[@timsessl]

@@mrmerz666 also meiner Meinung nach mit abstand die beste Lösung, da sie perfekt ins Gewinde passen ohne Adapter oder Klemme, habe davor schon andere Lösungen ausprobiert mit Gewindeadaptern etc. aber war mit allem nicht zufrieden bis ich die K-Maxx Lenkerenden gefunden hab! Achtung aber du brauchst ein sehr großen Torx dafür, mein Werkzeug war leider ein wenig zu klein, habe dann einen alten Fahrradschlauch zwischen Werkzeug und Lenkerende gepackt um so den Abstand auszufüllen. Ist aber keineswegs empfehlenswert, damit verbiegst du dir gerne mal die Zacken vom Torx oder den Lenkerenden. Sonst einfach bei ner Werkstatt vorbei fahren und lieb fragen ob du kurz was anziehen darfst :)

[@mrmerz666]

Meinst du mit groß einfach sehr lang damit der reingeht ins Gewinde? Finde deine Lösung tatsächlich auch optisch am schönsten was ich bisher gesehen habe. Es gibt wohl auch die M1000 Lenkerendenspiegel die man direkt ins Originalgewinde reinschrauben kann mit den originalschrauben ABER die online shops die die verkaufen sind nicht sehr vertrauenswürdig ^^

[@timsessl]

@@mrmerz666 das torx "Loch" war riesig, größer als alles was ich für die motorbügel etc gebraucht habe. Hatte keinen so großen torx da. Hoffe das ist verständlich... bin nicht so im Fach Jargon drinne :D

[@SuperDumond]

What model is the exhaust? He sings really well!! THANKS.

[@timsessl]

Look in the description for a link. Its the MIVV X1M Slip-on exhaust

[@SuperDumond]

Ok sorry and ty
@@timsessl

[@nirow46]

Ist das Auspuff gurgeln Serie durch den MIVV oder hast du da mit Software nachgeholfen. Hört sich wirklich sehr geil an.

[@timsessl]

Das hat das bike auch schon mit dem BMW Auspuff gemacht aber es wurde sehr unterdrückt, man hat es leise gehört wenn man auf dem bike sitzt. Der mivv schluckt das bloß nicht mehr so sehr :)

[@latarn817]

Hello. I recently made a purchade for the same bike. Looking for bar end mirrors and currently looking at the high sider ones as well. Did you have to buy any extras to fit or was it just install without problems?

[@timsessl]

Yes I had to get new barends. If you are in the EU I would recommend the ones from KMaxx that I have because they are the only plug and play barends I could find. No Adapters, fits perfectly and looks amazing in my opinion!

[@timsessl]

All my parts are in the Video description

[@thodoris3790]

have you got issues with finding neutral?also the engine makes much heat?

[@timsessl]

1 to neutral is hard to find but going down from 2 into neutral is easy... In stop and go you can feel the heat on one slide of the engine and the Fans obviously start going but when I'm on the open road my fans never spin.

[@shmod97]

where about in Germany are these roads?

[@timsessl]

this is the road from about 1:20 to 7:20

[@fvanepen89]

Question. I can see you have a sw-motech tankring. Did you use the long or short screws to secure it?

[@timsessl]

if i remember correctly it was specified either online of in the installation guide. :)

[@fvanepen89]

@@timsessl it comes with two lengths and the manual says just use what fits best because the tankring is also for some Ducati models.

[@timsessl]

@@fvanepen89 hmm maybe look at what screws come out of the original tank cap and compare the lengths? I really dont remember which ones i used bc i did it about 2 years ago :D

[@serbbrb_7891]

can you take it back to original power? (not 70kw)

[@timsessl]

Yes it's just software, shouldn't be a problem :)

[@Motofiziert]

Is it 48HP or full power?

[@timsessl]

48 in this video but I got it to full power recently so next video is gonna be full power

[@user-kg9jv5dj7s]

Hallo Tim.
Ich möchte mit im April F900R zulegen.
Ich bin 170 cm Groß/Klein
Kann ich Standard Sitzbank nehmen wegen rangieren und so?
Oder lieber tieferes bestellen ?
Gruß
Vadym

[@timsessl]

Servus,
Ich bin 1,87 cm und komme mit beiden füßen flach und leichtem Winkel im Knie auf den boden. Mit 1,70 würde ich persönlich zur tiefen Sitzbank tendieren und wenns dann nicht passt kann man das bike ja auch ein paar cm. tiefer legen lassen.
Hoffe das hilft
Viele Grüße

[@timsessl]

Vielleicht findest du ja auch einen BMW Händler der dich Probe sitzen lässt. Bei dem Händler bei mir kann ich z.B. Sitzbänke Probe sitzen

[@user-kg9jv5dj7s]

Danke

[@ricardopisocortes8079]

Hey did you need to add something for the mirrors to attach it???

[@timsessl]

I put on the K-Maxx Barends TYP3 for BMW, also in the description

[@ricardopisocortes8079]

Thanks, i've ordered them :) hopefully it's not a pain in the ass to install them haha.

[@timsessl]

@@ricardopisocortes8079 the k-maxx barends were an absolute breeze to install! old ones out new ones in, no adapter, no nothing... screws right in. The torx you need is pretty big tho.

[@ricardopisocortes8079]

@@timsessl is it removing the screw and that thing from bmw and just install the mirror with that plug? Because in de box of the mirror there were 2 big black rings, I do nothing with them?

[@timsessl]

@@ricardopisocortes8079 so the barends from kmaxx just screw in where the Original barends were. The rings from the mirrors are there if your barends are slimmer or thicker
