@@Grafyte I’ve never driven one of those. Wish I still had a mirage though

@@SteveZ919 I feel the low beams are adequate but with the high beams on it’s really bright. I ride in dimly light rural areas too.

@@Ont785 Lol

@@raluxgaza I very much enjoy it. I’ve never been on a MT09 so I couldn’t compare them. This doesn’t feel too heavy to me.

@@pryme2013 good to know. Keep riding safe bud

@@GripperCc yes typically. This particular HG250 has a wider than normal spread which is for sure harder than a 2 so it’s the only gripper I had 20 years ago to bridge a 2 and 3.

@@pryme2013 You did a lot of reps when you were doing grippers. Read and see many who advocate doing many reps on lighter grippers do not give much on closing heavier grippers. You trained very frequently, also not so many days of rest, but ran every day with lighter grippers. I can close a heavy #2 and can almost keep a 2.5 closed for a while after helping to close it with the other hand and then holding it as long as I can manage. Sometimes run several reps on lighter grippers but usually run heavy on harder grippers. Got a HG 250 now that bridges between Cc 2 and Cc 2.5 and will work hard on it. It takes time to build a grip, but I often see those who have built a solid foundation, their grip strength stays the same despite several years of rest, so they don't lose much strength. Hard to know how much to recover, I ride hard one day and rest for 2.5 days and ride again. Been training for a year and seven months now and my goal is a Cc 2.5 but have a No. 3 too! My grippers are T 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 captain of crush and I have HG 250 and 300. But do you prefer reps on lighter over heavy training or did you do both?

@@johngray166 Thanks sometimes ya gotta have fun in there

​@@pryme2013That machine is great can be used on the chest if you invert the handles and lean forward but jeesh full stack

@@TanmaiNiranjan Thanks

@@patrickjacobs4999 For people that need more of a step by step than this they would be best served bringing their bike to the dealership. This video is a general outline for mechanically inclined people. Thanks for checking it out.

@@pryme2013 I was able to diy it, thank you very much for your passive aggressive response, DH. Just saying that you labeled it as a how to. This not a how to

@@patrickjacobs4999 Actually I didn’t label it as a how to. Read the title again. Maybe you should stop embarrassing yourself.

@@alejandrotoledo9975 low to mid 40’s on the freeway and up around 50 cruising back roads. As you seen in this video series I was averaging 54.

@@PaulKind3d very nicely said

@@pryme2013 btw, thanks for this video. I didnt wanna go cracking fairings and your helpful breakdown gave me everything i needed to do the job smoothly. Maybe 1/2 hour from drain to fill. I used a KN filter as it has a much easier to remove and tighten filter as it has the nut welded on the top. Used a gear wrench and it a piece of cake to install. Removal will be easy now too.

@@PaulKind3d Glad it helped you’re welcome!

@@perryirons1399 Thank you

@@Dongzzzzzz The mirage is excellent. Miss it

@@EmilBBechGrip Yeah, it worked for me

@@FrankBonessa No I haven’t but I’ve heard of that on the forums

Probably didn't add enough oil. Sometimes you will fill before reaching capacity. Turn over the bike and let it run for a minute to move the oil and top it off.

@@abdelrahmannabil871 Thanks. Have had a long time to dial in form.

@@nikhilraj8651 Thank you

It will be a lot better road bike to do that trip on vs the DL. Also much quicker. Smiles for miles have fun. I love every minute on mine

@@pryme2013 BTW, thanks for the info on the fairing. was worried about the oil change. just the left side?

@@FrankBonessa No problem. Yeah you only need to remove the left side.

@@Beardshire it is a good machine for sure.

@@blakris9382 62

@@blandrooker6541 yeah I used the foul in this video. Might be awhile before I need plugs

@pryme2013 heh....10K miles comes sooner than you think on this bike. It seems like a really short service interval for iridium plugs, so I asked a mechanic about it, and it makes perfect sense given that motorcycle engines run a higher RPM on average and run at higher compression than car engines. Oh, and if you're going to do the plugs might as well do the air filter so you don't have to take everything apart twice. 👍

@@blandrooker6541 I’ll be passing 1k miles tomorrow!

Thank you. 6’1” and with 100’s when this video was shot I was doing around 15 reps. At my strongest (but m getting older and declining) I was doing 120’s for 9-10 reps on a low incline. That wasn’t paused though. I have done 7 paused though. Edit I just looked back as I forgot and I did a video of 100’s for 14 paused reps not long after this video

@pryme2013 dang thats really good and i see youve been doing this for years. How often do you hit chest?

Link me to your video. Teach me how it’s done.

Thanks

Gotta watch the video before commenting. I did remove it and yes very easy

When I had my first service done at my dealer, my mate is a service tech there and never removed the fairing to do the oil and filter.

@@tonychettleburgh8953 Yes it’s doable and I would have done it with a different style oil filter wrench.

Glad you liked it.

Worked well for me! Hope it helps. Let me know what you think

@@pryme2013 I actually tryed it with a 3 and came super close to closing it !!! Do you have any tips on how to get better with the left hand ? And thanks ! :)

@@Ivanimirus I have never been able to close my 3(not an easy 3) with my left. I’ve gotten close but I’m so much stronger on right. I’d say just train it more. I never trained left to hit big singles like I did my right. I did more rep work

@@pryme2013 allright I'll try :D And also I believe it helps me a bunch to turn the gripper around and use it upside down so there is more pressure on the upper fingers. I also try progressive overload like pushing with my other hand. And yeah I can get a 3 with my left just above parallel on a good day lol.

Thank you for this information. I’ve heard nothing but good things about this bike

The manual doesn’t specify. It just says to change it for the first time at 600mi. As long as the oil you’re using meets the spec it doesn’t matter. With that said, I’ll take Amsoil over the ecstar Dino oil all day every day

Very good testimonial. That’s impressive

When I bought it they were 179.99

Yeah you’re right it is super clean. I keep my stuff clean and my garage clean. I don’t like a dirty workspace. I actually have a video of it way back when I first got it in 2016 I believe

​@@pryme2013 same, people who have dirty, grimy, shops are just lazy. Cleaning your tools is essential for long life of use.

It’s a wild concept, but some people take good care of their tools.

My moto has always been, leave no trace when finished. It makes things so much better.

@@ThorCarlton lol aint nobody cleaning a jack

Yeah that could prove tougher.

That’s true. Still a 7,300 pound truck.

Well I guess that depends on your definition of HD. It’s a 2500HD

Video is also in 1080p so it is definitely an HD truck 😂​@@pryme2013

It wasn’t that bad really. Much quieter than old cars

Keep at it! Just for comparison, I was doing 90’s for 26-27 reps when I was doing these 5 reps paused sets with 120’s or 7-8 reps with 120’s not paused.
