@@gasguzzler5551 Probably wise advice... But according to the Yamaha manual, 43 Nm is recommended, but to be completely honest I usually go by feel.

@@SamOnABikeSweden It has been documented that using Yamaha torque setting that may owners have indeed stripped out the threads. Going by feel is probably the best solution 😎

@@greg..5632 Dziękuję bardzo!

Tack!

@@mrsmith697 Tack, jag önskar dig en fortsatt fin ledighet!! Förhoppningsvis kommer våren snabbt så man får komma ut på två hjul igen, fram tills dess får man väl fortsätta pula i garaget!

Ha,ha, ha... Thats correct...

@@ashleydruce9777 Thanks!

Thanks for watching!

@@SusanWillan Great to hear, I'm really happy with my FJR and I agree, very fast and with superior quality! I've even ridden it on dirt roads! Have you ever done a valve check on yours? Mine has been checked once, last summer and everything was in spec. Of course it is a heavy motorcycle for better or for worse, but at the same time it feels like quality through and through!! Ride safe!!

@@natanelWB12456 Thanks!

I guess you are right, to my defense, the mesh thing is on top of the filter, not on the bottom side of the filter closest to the motor. So to get glue in to the engine it has to "travle" through the filter, which it wont do. But you're right, skip the mesh thing!

@@RobL-c6t I feel sorry for you. But how could that even happen? First of all, my bike was up on the centerstand. This is how it is: You have the upper yoke fork clamp bolt (one bolt), that was the only bolt i took off. Then you also have a bottom yoke fork clamp with two bolts (don't touch these, I never did). If it all slides down it means that the bottom yoke fork clamp was not torked and screwed to right spec! Removing just the upper one should not affect the forks what so ever.

Watch from 4:20 to 4:39 there you can see that the bike doesn't drop. All I had was the bike on its center stand, no jack, nothing else...

@@shunshun0007 Thanks glad you liked it!

Thanks!

The relay is needed to be able to install accessories, such as a 12 volt socket, gear indicator, lamps, etc. For my own part, it was installed for the 12 volt socket that I installed after this. The relay makes some cables (under the seat and also at the speedometer) work when the ignition is on and not to work when the ignition is off.

Well It did not fall out ... Look at 4:25... I wonder who is full of crap?

Ja det kan han göra! På Nationella trafiksäkerhetsförbundet NTF säger man: "Den som färdas på en motorcykel ska använda hjälm. Däremot säger lagen att barn under sju år som använder annat lämpligt huvudskydd är undantagna"... Barnet är ju under 7 så cykelhjälm går alltså enligt lagen bra att ha.

@@SamOnABikeSweden Tack så jättemycket 😊

The bags are from Ebay.

Thanks for watching!

I think i used some universal grease that i had laying around. Something is better than nothing!

I can't remember if i'm going to be honest. But i think i used some universal grease that i had laying around. Something is better than nothing!

Thanks for watching! I did it earlier than necessary. If the manual states 24,000km no need to change before that!

@@SamOnABikeSweden thanks buddy, that’s what I was wondering? I’ll wait till 24,000 kms and then see how dirty it is, that will let me know if I should change it earlier than recommended.

BMW makes beautiful machines but I have heard a lot about driveshafts failing, so wise decision to rely on the FJR for longer rides!

2up me and my wife + luggage is the reason, for that the old FJR1300 is perfect! But as a solo rider, no problem! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for your kind words! Yes for me this bike feels like the unicorn! But im with you about the durability concerns! This is an unproven brand, i don't know about this engine but I know that the KTM790 and the CFMoto 800mt shares the same engine construction and lately it has been som real concerns about the camshafts of these engines, the same problem is conected to KTM790, CFMOTO 800 mt and Husqvarna Norden 901. Google it and you will find. I belive that the 450mt engine is a uniq CFMOTO design... But im not shure... so keep that in mind!!

You could buy it with the comfort/higher seat. And I think mine was in the low position.

I will gladely keep on riding my "whale bike"! And since you clearly missed it, this is just a short, first test ride of the bike and not an in depth review. I wish you a great day!

I have heard that we have the grey color here in Sweden, because they think that color will sell better than the blue one on this market. I dont know if we get the blue one at all, i haven't seen one

Thanks my son!❤️

Understandable, the Yamaha XT600 is a great machine... Japanese reliability and quality!

@@SamOnABikeSwedendon't get me wrong, your video was an eye opener to me, I mean this bike is 6300 EUR new here in Croatia, nothing else comes close! Honda CRF300 Rally is 1000 EUR more, and not everyone is lucky to have 36 years old bike still running and usable, so your video is spot on!

haha good point - the MT450 is 10kg heavier too

@@DrazenCikaas great as the XT600 is (I have the XT660) this is about 100ibs lighter in weight

And your XT600 probably has a reasonable fuel capacity too. I can't see why it won't be a good bike in another 36 years :)

You could easily lower it to 800 mm without changing to a different seat. I think it's more important to tell a potential custommer the lowest seat height possible than to tell how it's set up for most people. But you're right about the ABS/TCS, my bad for that!

@@SamOnABikeSweden I think all you had to say was that the standard seat height is 820mm and it can be lowered to 800mm via a built in lowering link at the bottom of the rear shock. I appreciate how much effort goes into making YT video, so it always amazes me when the basic bike details are wrong.

@@davidz8 You can write a book, have it read proofed by professionals, having the book editor, publishing house involved, books hit the shelves, you as an author pick one from the shelf and still afraid to find a typo...happy if it was not in the chapter title...my friend told me so after having 12 books published...so yeah, an error in YT video is to be expected 😉

Nice to have understanding people, thank you for your kind comment!

Great suggestions for improvements. Also fun to make it your own! I really liked the 450mt, im tempted to buy one!

Have you checked the fuel consumption?

@@nobleabraham6498 On average with a heavy throttle i'm on 4.5l/100km but if i drive sensible it will be around 3.8-4.0/100km After i changed to a 15 tooth on the front sprocket i get even better milage. Haven´t driven very much since i changed but in 90km/h fuel consumption is around 3.5-3.8 on a straight road. So i will absolutely go well above 400km on a single tank if i drive sensible.

@@jayvensoThank you. I'm gonna buy this bike

@@nobleabraham6498 I'm sure you will be happy with it. I know i am. Hard not to be considering what you get for the price :)

Oh, I believe that the 'MT' stands for - Multifunction Tourer, or Multi-use Tourer. Just what I wanted. A bike that is not too heavy and does everything well, and some things very well if the reports are anything to go by.

Wow exciting! I'm tempted to buy one here in Sweden, great price for a great bike!! But i don't think my wife wants me to get rid of the FJR1300, but it's never wrong with 2 bikes!

I got mine over 3 weeks ago and i can tell you ohhh boy you will enjoy it.

@@lawrieyoutube4375 MT stands for Mini Tenere. 🤣 (just kidding)

@@hondaslex At about 40% of the price too. Some truth in what you say, It is hard not to think that CFMoto looked hard at the successful Tenere when they designed the MT. And there is nothing wrong with that. Not a cheap copy either. I have mine now and it is very well built from the frame welds right down to the switches.

My bad I stand corrected... Thanks for watching!

Best decision mate ….Honda will rarely if ever leave you stranded.

Why is it impossible to get them in Norway? They are at dealers and it's just to cough up the money and buy it. Doesn't sound impossible to me.

You never go wrong with a Honda! Japanese quality! Thanks for watching!!

​@@kokilimonke Maybe they all are sold out?

@@SamOnABikeSweden nope, called the dealer 15 minutes ago. They have it in stock.

Shure is! I want one... But to trade my FJR for it...I don't know, I guess I need 2 bikes!

Do you have the Vulcan S performance? Maybe it's a K&N or something similar?

Varsågod! You're welcome!

Yeah I agree the design isn't the best!

Thanks for watching, Im glad it worked for you!

You're welcome, ride safe!
