Hey, just a quick shoutout to say thanks for making this video. Really helpful when I was changing up my lines. And yeah, those holding clips? Very awkwardly placed.
Hi, great video and will be so helpful when I change my lines over winter. Fascinated by your matching brushed gas tank… did you do it or do you know how it was done?
Hi, been thinking about changing my lines, can I ask if you had to do anything different with the bleeding due to the ABS lines? I have a bleeding vacuum pump so am hoping it wouldn’t be too much hassle. Would appreciate your comments.
Hello, nothing will change as far as ABS/Non-ABS bleeding. Typically the only thing that changes with ABS bleeding in general (cars/bikes) is that you open the bleed valve before compressing the piston for new pads. Cheers.
It really is a terrific bike, I'll hop on other bikes and wait to see where this bike is being left behind and you really are grasping at straws to find any flaws. The elephant in the room when discussing this bike is the price compared to "performance", but most fail to realize it doesn't compete with the bikes they line it up against. I think this bike does everything well, it's unique, it's fast, and well made. The only real negative is the rear shock is too soft (even after fully adjusting and it doesn't have compression on the stock setup), which I upgraded that over the winter. I'll be heading to the track on Friday to see how it performs. I don't typically ride after sunset, so sadly I cannot tell you how the headlights are. Oh and last negative is the aftermarket support. Cheers, ty for the question.
@@Onereelrider thanks for answering. I'm looking for a bike with power when I need it and with long legs. I had a 2020 Z900 and sold it when the market was dry and took advantage of it. I got myself a 3rd hand 2nd gen 2003 sv650 and I enjoy its old school-ness (not a word) but feel myself shifting often because of shorter gears compared to Z900. I can be in 5th going 30mph then accelerate without shifting and wouldn't bog down. I miss that. Is your bike similar in that way? Meaning has torque to move in higher gears obviously won't move as fast compared to being in the right gear.
@@damacknificent151 weird I never got a notification for this reply. My apologies. The simple answer is this bike (like most naked litre) have torque for days and it's happy in any gear, there's no bogging down. I hope that answers your question. And the quick-shifter is one of the best I've tried.

Glad it helped!

Thanks. It's a wrap. We did brushed aluminum with Grey pinstripes to match the machining. Cost about $400. Cheers.

How's the bike so far? Still like it or you have any dislike maybe headlight vision isn't great at night?
