I don't think you should swap them at 4000 probably 6000 to 8000k but it really depends on the way you use the bike ... if you do rolling burnouts often :) well. However for regular street use go for around 8000+. Now a more proper way to check do me a favor and google "s22 tire wear mark" on most tires within the large groves you should see small connecting outdent. If you reach that your are not at the end of the tire but you are close

:D Don't need to, have you seen the new mt-09? :D yamaha took my feedback and almost fixed every point I made in this video. Now they just need to release the new XSR with those fixes

well honestly what's your budget? and what do you mainly want to do. Btw happy new year!

here I'll give you some the surface level options I'm thinking thru atm regarding new bike releases: CFMoto 450 nk - super cheap and I want to get back into the 400 class to re-experience my first year of motorcycling. Naked bikes are a bit to uncomfortable when going above 150km especially when there is a lot of wind. This bike hangs around ~120kmh and so it might be the ideal city/intercity naked hooting around. Its also a good tikerer bike. MT09 SP 2024 - according to the specs they've took almost all my issues and addressed them :)) like even the quicksifter according to them is now rev range based ... although I need to ride it to confirm they've fixed it properly and not just on paper. But I would say if you don't have a specific goal like track days in mind the MT09 SP 2024 is the best new naked bike you can buy ATM KTM 990 - usually ktms are unreliable every friend that had a KTM has experienced some problems with them so I'm not going to say its a good buy because its usually not. But KTM and there dealer network did address all of them eventually its just that I've seen it take even a year to do so. However in terms of pure fun you can rarely beat a KTM... I am personally not considering KTMs atm but if you want to go medium high end and don't want a mt09 a KTM is your only option If you are not looking for new bikes exclusively Aprilia Tuono 660 Factory - this is hands down the best mid range naked bike it has good tech (cruise control included) and it was well packaged for the price but the main reason I like it its light like a mountain bike. Seriously if you get to ride one and are fairly conformable riding try to play around with it. It feels like you can jump left to right on it like you do a mountain bike. It also has a mini windscreen and upgrading it to a full screen does not look bad since its a "half naked" bike. That helps a loooot at higher speed. Its literally the benchmark for mid class nakeds atm

@@mikebikealot happy new year. thank you so much for this detailed answer. my price range is up to 12k i would say. the tuono i don't like looks wise. half naked isn't my style. maybe the rs660 then but i would have to test ride it first to see if the ergonomics are acceptable. i test rode the old mt09 and liked it very much but it was so insanely ugly. maybe i can have a better look at the new one this weekend. there is supposed to be a presentation for the 24 models at my dealership. i expect ergonomics to much better than with the old one. the new one is a bit more leaned so you can bend forward more naturally. my only issue with the 24 mt-09 is it's stll a rather ugly bike. especially compared to the xsr900. i test rode the 23 street triple r as well but it felt too tippy when coming to a stand and the sound gave me a headache. despite that it felt great. then i had the cb650r for a short ride but when cornering i felt the bike needed way more force than any of the other bikes i tested. sure it was the heaviest bike and the only one with four cylinders. the ktm duke 990 looks crazy cool but yeah, i heard about problems from other sources as well. i don't want to go medium high end. i come from a mt-03 and all i want is similar ergonomics with better brakes and suspension and an engine that can keep up in city traffic even when cold. if yamaha added some decent suspension to the mt-07 and gave it a front you could look at without crying that would be my choice for the time.

​@@nateriver5114 so my first thought would be don't overspend if you come from the mt-03 almost any of those bikes would be an upgrade in almost all aspects. And don't give into peer pressure regarding buying a powerful bike (if you have any). You don't need to jump on a streetfighter or bmw or triumph take it from me the return on fun does not scale with price. Here's my suggestion but I would preface it with the following: I don't really like suzukis I feel like suzuki is one of the defaults that you buy as a "safe option" that being said 2 years ago 2022 at EICMA and after I've had the chance to test out the GSX8S. Its a MT-07++ here's why: - ride by wire so it can have a quicksifter up and down (something cp2 line of bikes can't) even if its a more budget friendly quicksifter - nice dash (much better than even the old gen 2023 mt09) and the controls are easy and nice to use - good build quality - based on where you are the parts and service can be really cheap Down sides (remember this is an improvement over the mt07 in almost all categories): - its fairly sterile like all suzukis it never feels like you want to look twice at them (or at least I never do) maybe you can add a pipe to it and make it sound nice but ... its a suzuki at the end of the day - its also a bit heavy I think it was over 200kg I usually discard 200 class bikes that are not liter bikes - there is no cruise control even though it has ride by wire - wind protection was not that good, in fact it was bad I remember being comparable to the dukes and you sit on those. But again nakeds ... that's a fundamental issue with them - like the mt07 the suspension is cheap and not adjustable or at least it was not back then but that being said I remember it being harder than the mt07s. It was not very compliant over the bumps and again in my book thats a good thing I kind of like suspensions that are a bit more on the sporty side. Other than that you're kind of out of luck atm ... there are no decent naked bikes around the 700 to 900 ccs or at least none that are worth buying except the ones mentioned above One final thought regarding the headache. I also ride with sport helments and I suggest you run earplugs if you can. Or do like I do and run plugphones guardian (thats what I use into my cardo)

@@mikebikealot oh, i totally forgot i to tell you i already test rode the suzuki back in summer. the weight isn't of any issue and it gives a nice ride but i really didn't like the looks so much, especially the fat bck side because the air filter is under the seat. and it's more on the expensive side here. for about 1k more i could get the street triple r. and yes, i often use earplugs when riding but i didn't when test riding the triumph.

Well you say that but then you added a Airhawk inflatable seat pad ... so there is clearly more issues that the scroll wheel with the bike. As for the rest of the problems I'm sure if you've never had other good bikes you can live without perceiving them. In my defense and to back my points up the new MT09 touched on almost every single thing I critiqued in my reviews. They've changed the dash (they've added military time!!), all the buttons!, THE PASS LIGHT BUTTON (granted I think its a bit to raised so not perfect still but an improvement non the less), they change the amount of FORK TRAVEL! :)) Its like Yamaha's engineers sat down took notes and addressed most of my issues. And its not even been 4 years so the new MT09 midcycle refresh IMO is amazing. I'm SOO HAPPY with that :) I might just buy a mt09 sp next year. I'm shocked how much they've took from my key points ... now ideally they would transplant those improvements on the XSR package so I can also get a nice looking bike front.

@@mikebikealot Well, I did say "with my setup", which includes the airhawk seat cushion. So, I resolved the seat comfort problem. I agree whole heartedly that the stock seat is only good for relatively short rides, not all day journeys. You're correct that one's past experience with various vehicles represents his or her universe for comparison. I've been riding for 53 years with a baker's dozen of motorcycles, but admittedly my only recent motorcycles are the XSR, Speed Twin, and CRF250l dual sport. It sounds like you have a lot more experience among a variety of modern bikes, which enhanced the value of your review.

@@rick-hm3ji I've come down into the XSR package from the sports bike side. My health has somewhat deteriorated after covid and it's been hard to sport bike a days trip. I don't have a lot of years like less then a decade riding but I've been fortunate to ride Ducatis, Aprilias, Bmws a few Kawys, KTMs and Zeros most of those brands mid to upscale offerings had really really good user experience. So I was a bit thrown back when I jumped to Yamaha since everybody talked them up. So when I noticed all these small issues it kind of surprised me... I'm also shocked how much they've changed the new mt09 next year it feels like I've just missed the boat or better yet jumped in at an inopportune time. If I would have waited one more year and got the 2024 mt09 this review would have never happened. In January I want to see if I can get an allocation for one... I'm so confused since I could try to live one more year with the XSR and hope they will refresh it in 2025 with the new stuff... its so sad because the white and red 2024 theme on the XSR is just perfect for me I absolutely love that color scheme it reminds me of the old ducati V2 (edit: the ducati v2 2021 livery is still on offering so I guess they've noticed I liked it so much they kept it :)) ) . The 2024 mt09 position is also a bit crunched down over the bars... they changed the ergo a bit for the worse IMO... That + I want to branch out more and pick up a 400 class bike since I have some friends that constantly brag about the CF Moto 450 engine. It's been so long since I've ridden a small capacity bike that I can just absolutely trash for 2-3h and then head back home!! I miss the old Ninja 400/R3 days.

I stand corrected the new mt09 does not have military time or at least I've not seen it in any of the themes. - The clock now has a date though the dash does not appear to display that (maybe there is a theme that I've not seen that uses this) - The dash does show the cruise control speed :) finally - The quality of all the buttons is top noch!!! even the small joystick its proper firm and clicky. Good job Yamaha. - The buttons are amazing! Especially the signal rocker. If you see online reviewers that say its bad, they have no idea what there saying. Press one to activate press again to cancel and also it self cancels. - The pass light is not ... that good (the position of it is too high and far away from the bar) - The screen is ok, but the menu for the screen is verry verry bad its actually a downgrade. They have this 3 page scroll menu that is really annoying thank god you don't have to go into the menu too often - The map navigation is crap ... no one will use that. I feel like the industry is so close to implement google maps just add android/apple auto for the bike and accept nothing less

It is, LCD's don't need to be full color lcd's ... for example search arduino lcd and you will understand.

@@mikebikealot ok done my homework. It's a tft lcd screen.

I'll post more when I have other bikes that are worth talking. Not sure if I should start "motovloging" or things like that ...

Its just ppf and a color wrap ... not painted

well the negatives and the poor designed stuff is something I rarely see people talking about. Most online material never even compares the bikes to other models beyond the spec sheet stuff like price/hp/weight .... I kind of hate that. When I buy something I want to know its shortcomings relative to other products and what can could be better on it

I'd probably look at the BMW R nineT as one of the best bikes to buy in the retro class

@@mikebikealot the R nine T is very similar to the Speed Twin. The only difference is the characteristics of the engine and style.

In my opinion black and red really go well its a bit edgy but the contrast is one of my favorite. Maybe a touch of blue would really compliment the look.

Electronics are a lot more important than you think. Its native to think you can outbreak an ABS and IMU system. Everyone that thinks they can are just wrong. In this days to be truly a good motorcyclist you need to compliment the system, lean on its strengths and improve upon it with your own skill. Fighting against it just makes you a bad rider and in general you are taking more risk on for no added benefit. For newer riders heck even seasoned riders stuff like traction control and an IMU can save them in an uncontrolled slide because of unseen dust or just bad unexpected conditions. I don't see a problem with them buying a bike like this if they like the format and the looks. Arguably if it wasn't for the weight and geometry a bike specked like this is much better than a Ninja 400. Also note that you are wrong about the ninja 300/400 and Ktm, they do not have any power modes or fancy electronics there exactly the opposite and realistically they more of what you seek, a plain bike.
