Wait what. I have a Super Cub. And I never knew this.

To me, feathering isn't needed, you'll take forever to accelerate. It's almost impossible not to dump the clutch.

Jesus, that’s machinery abuse. Poor fkn bike.

Thank you

I have 03' Hornet 900, mint condition. But I am frustrated to find out if there is rubber seal or O-ring in the grove aroung the filter, exactly on air box housing enterance, where the lid is going on to cover the hole??

lol

It doesn't work for a honda rebel cmx 250 c. It's got like 1 to almost 2 inches and you can't get the slack out

irritating video dude

OK, so here in the UK. The shift is opposite to your gearbox. We shift the cubs gears down for 1st, down for 2nd, etc. When you want to slow down, just heel backwards and change. If you're coming to lights and need to stop. STAY IN 4TH!. When you've stopped, you can tap down once for neutral, and again for 1st. It's a cyclical gearbox. No drama's, no jerking or locking up the rear end. Just a nice a smooth gear change. I understand Honda had to do it the way you guys have it, as your transport dept didn't think you'd be able to work it out the way the rest of the world has it! 😅😅

This video is to the point. I would add that this centrifugal clutch is quite heavier than a normal one, so that the shiftings are pleaged by a strong inertia. So we need to shift up slower than with a classical bike, while the rev-matching is very important to master while shifting down. Mind you, on a wet road, if you downshift without this precise blip on the throttle, you could even fall. I drive Cubs since 1976, and my conclusion is that they are more difficult to drive properly than a common motorbike. But it is worth the pain as they are more fun and more efficient than scooters with their CVT transmission.

Wait you're supposed to feather it? I just dump the thing when shifting.

Very good review, I just bought some pit the right boot on and the top buckle just pulled through- my ankles aren’t dainty so. I think I need to send them back as I will have the buckle at the end of its range esp if I wear leather trousers

Thanks for the great review. None of the nonsense unboxing stuff. Just important, honest feedback for a product that has been put to use. Good job.

i used to stop my sazuki samurai jimny by dropping the downshifts. in 1995 the repair cost wasnt to terrible. it saved me from changing my breaks for 6 months. now that i understand a little more, i understand

I got a question, i'm having problems with my shift, i do the same thing u explain in the video. On first the shift is perfect, but, after a while the shift from 4th to 3rd and 3rd to 2nd becomes really hard and the "friction zone" disappears, It almost seems like you don't pull the clutch properly, the mechanic told me that i'm wrong about Gradually release the lever while downshifting... U got some tips?

Thank you

Hey bro, its been a year! Are you releasing a vid anytime soon? :(((

I miss my hornet :( Such a great bike.

Thank you for explaining the torque issue with the bolts. This man speaks truth, I went honda recommended torque spec with mine and stripped the threads of the bolt and the inside threads somehow... now i hand torque them x pattern like the video suggests and use gasket sealant to make sure there are no leaks because of seating issues with the filter cover. HAND TIGHTEN WITH A SMALL TORQUE WRENCH and check for leaks and it should work

sooooo heel towing a car

Thanks for reviewing these! Thinking of purchasing and was on the fence still. I want them for mostly weekend road riding on a sporty naked bike. I was afraid they might be too rigid. But it looks like they broke in nicely and are decently flexible. I like the protection and the looks.

I love these boots' style but i wear my boots 10hrs a day (2hrs commuting and 8hrs work) with little walk just around the office, so i worry they may be a pain, being very stiff and that, for this purpose. Is there anyone here who uses them for hours daily and can share his view on this?

where did u get that delivery box? i must know pls help me out 🙏

Glad my 919 isn’t the only one with a loose seat haha

Very Informative bro only things missing is the rubber cover on it.

I don't want to be an a**, but the distinction between a scooter and a motorcycle is not whether or not it's automatic. Pretty much all Vespas up to the 90s were NOT automatic, although shifted differently from the classic motorcycle shifting system.

Thanks for this! Just bought my Super Cub about a month ago, first motorcycle ever (never rode a scooter either), and I definitely need to try the feathering thing you talked about. I knew about rolling the throttle when downshifting for smoother shifts, and sometimes I've gotten it just perfect, but I haven't gotten that consistent yet. I bet it's because sometimes I'm feathering the clutch without realizing it, and other times I'm not. Unfortunately I live in Minnesota which means the bike is already garage-bound for the winter, but I'll definitely get back on it to learn this next spring!

I am going to throw up now from all the motion.

You’re too nice

Would have been great if I only knew what ‘feather the clutch’ meant

Can I use cinderblocks as a rear stand

Hey is it possible for me to just feed the actual wire through instead of swapping the whole cable?

so if I understand correctly, when you keep talking about "feathering it out" and "slowly let the clutch out", you're really just talking about letting the engine idle, thereby disengaging the centrifugal clutch, then shifting while the centrifugal clutch isn't connecting the engine to the rear wheel, then slowly adding throttle to make the centrifugal clutch slowly spin up and catch up to the rear wheel in the lower gear? I'm not sure I'm right but I have no idea what you're talking about when you say "feather" and "slowly let the clutch out." Obviously you're onto something but I can't grasp what you mean.

How you doing is it paying off working for 🤡🤡 lol taking 3 dollars orders

I just discovered your channel while I looking for video how to change oil 919. After watching of your video, I definitely subscribed. This bike very rare in Indonesia, so your channel very helpfull, specially for me. Thankyou, I look forward to more content! Regards.

Your subtitles are super annoying and distracting. Good video otherwise.

Good job!

I remember vertical as up and down since vertical starts with a V and a V looks like it’s running up and down

How’s the heat in that jacket?

I’m doordashing in Virginia and enjoying your videos while I’m waiting on orders, thank you for the great entertainment!😎👏

I got an extremely late violation picking up at Charlie’s Cheese in a shopping mall, the app didn’t say anything about it being in shopping mall so I rode around the block looking for a brick and mortar business with a sign out front before searching inside the mall

Good work! I enjoyed your dashing! 😎🤙

New Subscriber!🙋‍♂️

Looks like a lot of fun to be honest 👌🤜

Only been driving mine for about a month (on and off depending on weather and working on mods) and I've learned that 30mph is the "sweet spot" for 3rd/4th up and down shifting. Going from 3rd to 4th at 30mph doesn't make the engine rev so high and waste your fuel mileage and going from 4th to 3rd helps keep the engine from revving high when you're letting out the clutch pedal. Obivously lower RPM's are better, but that's been my experience so far. I have also found that, while I'm learning my u-turns, 2nd gear seems optimal because if you are working the throttle, you're not going to snap your neck back and forth trying to keep the speed constant.

Im looking to buy the Cubs cousin, the CT125 Trail. Ill be using it as a street bike for food delivery and general fun.

Fantastic review. Once I saw that boot, I loved it, Your review solidified in my mind, again, why I'm getting it. Thank you

Epic thanks! Going to test ride one shortly... Selling my CBF600 to get one of these! Am I crazy 😂😅

Thank you so much, i just got a 110 super cub and was under the impression shifting down was a death sentence.

Sold my 600rr for this. Ain't gonna lie its harder to learn in the beginning without a clutch. LOL
