I would definitely recommend a intercooler upgrade when you start modifying and tuning for more power at that point a intercooler upgrade is preventative maintenance and could save you money by preventing you from hurting the motor by running it too hot, if you plan on doing a smaller supercharger pulley intercooler upgrade is absolutely essential.
The bike will just detune itself, it won't hurt the motor. Without an intercooler, you don't reap the benefits of running more boost, full exhaust, tune etc without being AIT limited after a few pulls. You'll hit the AIT safegaurd a lot quicker. You'd hope a tuner would leave the safety parameters untouched. We have "kill" tunes which only get used for "when it really matters" like money races, etc. Last thing you want is to lose a 10 or 20k race because your ecu dailed you back a little. This is the same ecu safegaurds you see on modern / high-end race ecu's. TT lambos, high hp GTR's, etc all have tons of safegaurds, AIT's being one of them. Heat alone doesn't cause issues, when everything else is left the same, heat promotes detonation, the ecu simply backs off timing and pulls fuel accordingly to make sure knock and predetonation isn't an issue.
@@taylorv4 That is all very true I was mainly saying an intercooler is essential when you go to a smaller supercharger pulley and want to be able to ride full throttle in the summer without heat soaking the factory intercooler and spiking boost temps. The one pull and not a long one in this video had temps to almost 200F on a cold day which typicaly under 220-240 you won't damage anything but if you want to track a modified H2 in the summer its is 100% worth knowing the intercooler has been done.
@@MechanicallyMusical I agree, my argument is that as long as safety parameters are in place, heat isn't necessarily an issue with motor safety as the bike will gradually throw itself into limp mode to keep the motor safe. Thoughtaken seems to think he is above the engineers though

@taylorv4 I mean i think he talks about thr price of the bike because it's soemthing many can't fully understand. That show much many will pay for a car and he bought a motorcycle for that price. as far the other information yeah I agree that he's definitely had actions of a shitty person
@taylorv4 And yet you're still here.... why are you watching and commenting on a video that apparently sucks by a TH-camr you say is "annoying"?? Unsubscibe, hit those 3 dots and click "don't show this channel" or whatever it says.
i just got my '24 ninja 650 tuned this week, and holy shit i had the same exact impressions! the throttle is so much smoother and torque hits better more evenly across the range. its like a new bike!
The laugh on you when you receive your H2 is golden. Also, the bike sounds soooooo good now and hearing the supercharger...like MINDBLOWING and hearing u all excited now that the H2 is now tuned in a sweet tune is beautiful 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
There is a point that more HP is just a death wish. I have test ridden 170 HP and enjoyed it, but am okay with 100 HP BMW GS. Another 25 HP would not be a problem, just speeding tickets
I'm pretty sure one of those bikes was my step dad's last. Some young lady was texting n driving on a 2 lane highway. The bike just had a guard of some sort put on the side the day before. He lost a leg, flew in between oak trees and lived. The bike guard saved his life from the car but the bike flew right into a huge oak that he missed
You can run your intake temps up to 210 safely. This is long enough to do a full pull and let out. Just don’t stay in it for extended time. Let it cool back down to 165-170ish before ripping again. That’ll be the standard cruise temp with a tune. You’ll find that cruising over 120mph for long periods of time will get the boost temps up high as well.
Wow! Your road surfaces are _so_ bad eh? That's shocking! 😲 I'm in the UK and although we have our fair share of problems on minor roads (one lane each way), all of the major roads (2 lanes of more) are kept in pretty good condition right the way across the network. Stay safe bud 👍👍
Please go do a track day with some mates, You will not regret it! There will come a time when you are to old to handle this much bike, go suit up and make some memories brother!
Riding a 250hp bike with basically no gear on and a soft boot for a broken leg / foot sounds like a pretty bad idea to me. Maybe I have to much self preservation though.
Just because the top speed is 250mph doesnt mean you have to use it all, everytime you ride. For some the Segway was insane..😊 An old two stroke 750 with a throttle lag, is far more dangerous! When it hit....instant wheelie for 3 gears.
The front wheel will not bend ! Unless you hit the rim ! What will happen was that you blow the forks out ! That is the first component that will bend ! The triple trees are very strong and difficult to bend ! 😊
Who flashed the ECU on your H2? I'm going to get mine flashed and I want to know who to go with. I'm glad you are happy with how the bike is running now.
@@matthewsomanlall9638it's centrifugal supercharger, it's like a turbo but it's with belt attached to crank instead of spinning it with exaust output.
When you say 140 degrees, do you mean Celsius or Fahrenheit? I ask because my Ducati Panigale V2 2024 runs normally after pulls at about 105 degrees celsius. lmk!
You don't need intercooler with a just tune in less you have stage 3 we In the uk have are h2 tuned 250 bhp bikes are running fine with no over heating
i have the same problem as you going from mt07 to h2 but mine is a tdm850 to a s1kr lmao not exactly the same but the power is night and day people wont believe.. 70hp to 165hp is crazy lmfao
I don't ride bikes and the most I've rode is like 250cc dirt bikes but I noticed he didn't use the clutch between shifts, is that normal or is he just good at rev matching?
the zx4rr has an exhaust gas recirculation device. i wonder if the h2 has something similar thats heating it up too much. if it doesnt i guess its something to do with compressed air heating up like it does at the tip of a rocket.
Bought my 2018 h2 sx se from the original owner this june for 13k with 16k miles just had the valves done b4 I got it i feel like I stole my bike and have put almost 12k miles on it this summer love the h2
This over heating reminds me of my 2010 s1k. I probably have to take it to a shop to get it looked at next season because sitting in traffic it climbs to 200+ and will over heat if I let it get to 220. When I’m just cruising or doing pulls it sits around 150 but as soon as that mf idles for more than 3 mins on a nice day, it’s over😂
Take an M.S.F. coarse. It's cheap,fun, and will help you know what you want to get started with. If you can afford an H2 you can afford to get a beginner friendly bike to start out on first then maybe a Superbike.

I love the positivity in this video
$1400 for an axle nut repair is wild. I did mine myself. Free lol. To each is own tho
I think they did a lot more than the axle nut
Love the video's man keep up the good work and stay safe❤

Great vid, keep the work up! ❤❤
You just made my entire life 🥹💖
Stay safe btw!
It’s awesome isn’t it?! Every time I ride my H2, I’m laughing in my helmet. Nice vid bro! 🦾🐉🥷🏽💚💚💚🚀
I hope Ducati is paying that man well.
That no clutch quick shift is sick and it sounds sick
I could hear the sound of the supercharger so well with this new tune and exhaust....... Felt surreal 😅

My H2 never gets hot and I live in Arizona
Shouldn't that axle have been repaired under warranty?
I think after any mods are done to the Bike it voids the warranty
Man I love your vids
love your content, greetings from germany
Yo bro love the content
(only my opinion) I think it would also be cooler if you put H2R side mirrors in it cuz that stock side mirror looks goofy.
Riding a 250hp bike with basically no gear on and a soft boot for a broken leg / foot sounds like a pretty bad idea to me. Maybe I have to much self preservation though.
Would I do it? Probably not, I don’t have a popular TH-cam channel though
Just because the top speed is 250mph doesnt mean you have to use it all, everytime you ride. For some the Segway was insane..😊 An old two stroke 750 with a throttle lag, is far more dangerous! When it hit....instant wheelie for 3 gears.
Oh DAYM I love that exhaust

What will happen was that you blow the forks out ! That is the first component that will bend !

What gear do you wear in this weather?
Will bro crash it? Yup. Unfortunately.
Does the H2R come with an intercooler? You’d probably be happier with one on this bike, might make more power too.
Who flashed the ECU on your H2? I'm going to get mine flashed and I want to know who to go with. I'm glad you are happy with how the bike is running now.

A lot of motorcycles have an option of a quickshifter it does the rematch automatic. You can still shift manually and use the clutch or revmatch also.
