I love how you don't have super long intros and outros.. Straight to the point and on to your next video.
spafro101 yammie noob reference
@@airforce1907 I like yammie noob, but dude has a point.
I also like that he isn't sponsored by RAID: Shadow Legends...
@@jean-sebastienmenard6385 yeah that game is trash anyway.
I'm gonna say that is extremely professional RUclips channel about motorcycles, gear and tips and I really do wonder why you don't have more subs. Your voice is very calm and easy to understand, each episode is run high class and is edited to provide as much knowledge without unnecessary stuff. I really like it and can't wait to see next episode!
My only guess is that he looks a lot younger than he is. People probably click on like "oh some rich kid thinks he knows shit, bye". Unfortunate.
he looks like a 12 year old
+Martin Thomsen Though he's 6'3
I got dizzy with all the skipping about...he looks like a rich kid know it all, obviously never changed a bike tyre in his life, recommending you use that slime!!!??? you try cleaning that stuff up.
***** You even know how old he is?
I blacked out my bike, but still concerned about visibility - especially at night, so I added LED headlight, and Custom Dynamics signals on all 4 corners. HUGE improvement on stock! Plus I used reflective tape on my rims. It's black, so you never see it in the day, but are wicked reflective at night!
Pathetic lol
Blacked out his bike, but still concerned about visibility.
@@truantray What colour your bike is doesn't make any difference at NIGHT.
You could do an entire video on LED lighting.
Switched all the lights in my house save about $15-20 a month
And so he did
Hands down you probably make the most polished professional and useful videos on RUclips. They cut to the point, no long intros, real data, truth, legit reviews, great content and slick editing and graphics. Look forward to seeing what’s next. I love all the non-contributing jealous losers who try to take jabs at you because they are just miserable and their mommy’s never loved them. Great work man.
Fun fact. The reverse beeper on construction vehicles went from a beep, to a white noise sound. It's done because studies show it's more noticeable in noisy environments than a horn is.
You could also totally wire one up in parallel with your horn to make it easier to hear if you're in a noisy city (check local laws before doing this because it's illegal to use multi-tone horns, though this is most likely due to people installing police sirens not obnoxious noise boxes to their vehicles, so idk, ask a policeman).
A single tone, if played from an angle will reach your ears at different times. The phase of that frequency may be at unity (i.e. 360 degrees or more) which can lead to you thinking something that's actually at a 45 degree angle is right in front of you. Depending on the frequency, the error rate of knowing where the sound is coming from can be much worse. If it's white noise however, there are a ton of different shifting frequencies in there, and there's going to be hundreds of them that your brain can discern the direction of the sound.
If you don't believe me, set your ringtone to a single tone, have someone hide it in a room somewhere, and call it to try and find it. Then do the same for white noise. It's crazy how well this works.

Black reflector stickers! They work just as well, and are magically stealth
Is this a joke 😂😂
Random millennial google it, it’s actually pretty neat stuff.
Didn't the power rangers use it?

I'd stay away from the slime. gets all over your rim, a real nightmare to deal with
and can destroy your rim.
Get a plug kit. No SLIME.
Your mechanic will absolutely hate you (as he mentioned).
Agree
It will also screw up your tire pressure monitor sensor, which will have to be replaced for $$$.
I’m still a relatively new rider in the grand scheme of things, but I can definitely agree that the visor tip is huge. One of the first things I bought for my bike after the essentials was a second visor, so I have a tinted one and a clear one. Super nice to have and as mentioned in the vid, really helps keep me safe.
The best mod I got for my Shoei was a transition visor. Cost a pretty penny, but it's so nice having a clear visor at night, a slightly tinted one when overcast, and a dark one when it's bright out. All without ever changing my visor.
You should have like a million subs ur videos are so good
Halfway there!
Only a few like motos
Look at the number now, got re-edit your comment 😬
As someone who is just trying to enter the sport I wanna say thanks for your honest input. It's rare to see someone who isn't trying to promote their brand!
I don't even care about motorcycles that much and I love this channel. The production value and script is top gear level.
As a relatively new rider, I found your videos much more helpful than any others I have seen thus far. You are clear, concise, and informative.
I appreciate the videos, and I have subscribed!
Quality video once again, good stuff.
Even looking 4 years back on your videos , still the best motorcycle-channel to look out for the newest videos.
Your funny, informative & original aproach is like a new 1st gear when having already 6 (makes 7)
Thanks again Ryan and the FortNine-team
The decent horn is a good safety mod but if you are going to the trouble get one that sounds like a car horn (there is a difference) - and don't worry about the weight (it ain't that much anyway).
The distinctly motorcycle and tinny sounding bike horn will NOT generally grab the attention a of car driver. A car sounding horn will have them spinning their heads off looking for the 'not seen' car.
The smaller the bike the more important and effective this mod is. Don't worry about amps or draw on battery or wires, you just beep for a second or so to be effective rather than taking out your anger with a 10 second blast.
And a loud horn doesn't replace good roadcraft - see the danger, move away and cover your brakes and THEN beep the horn. The horn is communication not roadcraft.
why not clutch and give em a good redline ? its louder, comes with the bike, and will def get their attention.
Because it is juvenile and not as effective.
I dont see how its juvenile. Sure, if you blast your engine for no reason but to show off, that's useless and juvenile, but if youre doing it to get someone's attention, which is the point of a horn, then it definitely does its part. I'd think it would be even more effective since its louder, and has pitch variance, which like he mentioned in the video is better for grabbing attention.
anyway that's just my 2 cents, you do what you think is right :)
What I do sometimes in an emergency is grab some brake and clutch without letting go of the throttle. Bike slows down, sound goes up, brake lights come on, and the extra gyroscopic effect of 8-15k rpm get a lot more attention than my horn would.
Another thing that works really well to convince people to follow at a safe distance (on carbed bikes that is) is flipping the killswitch back and forth. Not the best thing to do for the exhaust, but super effective.
Very doubtful and dodgy.
Anything that produces noise is communication and requires the offender to hear and interpret the noise and your intentions or needs - it is a negative action that requires someone else to act to keep you safe. Trust no one (car drivers are homicidal - they can and do kill m/cyclists) and by your actions give your self the guarantee that they'll never get you in any circumstance - apply your Roadcraft.
Roadcraft is a positive action - you doing things that guarantee your safety.
If you do fallback on noise to alert use a universally recognise warning signal, a horn. A loud car horn so much the better. Don't rely on engine noise of any volume which might be interpreted as a warning or just background traffic noise.
I love this channel, no crap fill in talk just facts, very informative.
Great vid - you forgot the most important safety mod though...
The Nut behind the handlebars ;)
Amen. ~RyanF9
I'm glad I found your channel. Very intuitive videos.
You think ,outside the box.all angles.
Be safe,brother.
This guy is straight up amazing keep up the phenomenal work dude I love it!
Yes I agree No 1 on the list should be a Loud Motorcycle Horn. Screaming Banshee Horn here: Thanks for the mention on the video at 0:50. Also note that our horn can be wired to your head light or an aftermarket LED light and will flash as the sound of the horn pulses.
Very good video as usual from RyanF9, just wanted to add a note on the underglow. i consulted an Ontario police officer before making the investment and i was told you can add underglow to your vehicle as long as the color is not red or blue, does not flash and does not face forward. of course this will vary by province so make sure to do your own research before risking a ticket.
Cheers!
Suuuper useful information. Thanks! ~RyanF9
i was wondering about that also, as i am in Ontario as well. thanks for the info !
Here in Russia, under glow can be used literally anywhere and anytime on a cycle provided it is disconnected from the power source (battery). Putin the Bear is watching.
@@barrykelly2722 my led light kit is powered by a USB plug .i just use a lithium battery booster to power my led strips
My led lights are under the tank and reflect of the engine . More like accent lights .
Agh my dude I gotta say and I love your channel! Such a high quality professionally executed channel that produces incredible content! Wish you guys shipped to Australia because after watching your videos, mate I'd buy everything you suggested! Keep the great work up and always look forward to new content you produce!
-Peace from Down Under ✌🏽
Quality on these videos supercede those of RUclips users with millions of followers..props to you and I will continue to watch in the future as I have been! and your shameless plug has me now buying stickers!
You have probably the best motorcycle channel on youtube... realy.. i have an motovlog here in brasil and i aways give hints and safety lessons, but im just a guy on a motorcycle speaking... I will make a video in english then i show you... btw congratulations for your channel and keep doing that great job! Sorry for the bad english
7 years ago!!! F9 you have always been a great presenter
Your videos continually cost me money. I watch one and then buy stuff. Thanks Ryan!
your production and video quality overall are truly top notch. well done !
I have a Bell carbon fibre helmet but honestly the best thing I bought was the option "transitions" visor that adapts with the external light. It goes almost 90% clear at night and pitch black when is sunny. (Great for those that wear glasses like me) I really recommend
There are also helmets with built-in dual visors.
Your production quality is amazing! And great content too!
Super RUclips channel I've been watching for a while,very detailed videos
"Green, gooey, and cheap as hell" love it! 😂 keep up with the videos man, great work
Exceptional videos - just discovering this channel. Well well played sir.
Awesome video, great ideas, super informative!
Ride-On is the best stuff EVER!! The auto-balancing of the gel is another outstanding feature!!
Awesome channel Ryan. Love it. Keep it up.
Awesome video, very informative and very fun to watch! Brilliant work!
Excellent presentation as always. Keep up the great work.
Double Share is right, you have earned yourself another subscriber. Me. And I’ll be using your channel as my reference with ALL of my motorcycle friends. Twice a month we stop by the movies routinely with our own food to watch something and we get to the movie super early so I’ll pop up your channel and watch with them these vids.
Great content Ryan and team. I have certainly learnt a lot !
Finally a video with great information I subbed because of this. I have all of what you mention but great tips.
Decibel scale is logarithmic with a base of 3, not 10. That means that sound energy doubles every 3 decibel. Our ears are constructed that way in order to be able to hear as wide range of loudness as possible.
No, it is base 10, but you're right about sound power doubling every 3.01dB or so. That's just a coincidence though. Wikipedia has a great article on decibels. Confusing unit to measure stuff in but useful. The math isn't too important though because there are lots of psychoacoustics involved.
Excellent. Very clear. Very professional.
Great tips once again Ryan, after stupidly listening to my wife 20 years ago I got rid of my Yamaha XT 350 and I've not rode a bike since. Well not until a month ago that is, of course I got the big again immediately. My kids are up in their early 20's now and I've learnt the hard way as men do. I've stopped taking notice of my wife most of the time now. So if it wasn't for this virus I would have bought myself a new bike by now. So your video's have been great for me to get up to speed with stuff. Thank you your videos are very much appreciated.
P. S
My wife doesn't agree though
Hey man, great you get Back to riding!
I want to buy a XT350, what should I Look Out for? Any known problems? Thanks!
Awesome and informative as always, thanks!
Great..really you r a masterpiece..what a depth of knowledge..Great fan of yours😊
Great vids. You're a great presenter, very natural.
Love our work Ryan. Thanks bro!!
Great videos Fortnine crew! Would love to hear and see you guys dive into the safety aspects of auxillary lighting. I didn't think it's controversial, but it seems like people are split on the idea. Anyway, great work folks!
Just like always
Perfect
Thumbs up 👍
Thanks
Love your videos. Thank you!
found this video really helpful. where i ride there is a lot of big thorns and i got 2 flats in 1 week so deffinitly buying the slime thanks Ryan
I can second the PIAA horn: installed it on my FZ-09 in 10 mins, great price too. Much louder than the stock horn.
I installed Denali s4 Aux lights on my bike a while back. Besides extra light at night, the visibility of the bike to other drivers has noticeably changed. Even at 30% beam, people easily see me and the flash to pass strobe feature gives the bike Firetruck level visibility, if you think they didn’t.
I love these videos so much I can't wait to get my ninja 300 and customize it with safety now 😂
That tire slim sealant works wonderful.
This channel deserves a sub.
slime wreaks havoc on aluminum over time. actually ate through an old atv rim I had, had 3 pin holes from the corrosion. no joke,either, look it up
Rideon is what he recomended.
Ryan is the best and should be a TV commentator , he really has the gift to gab.
Really nice video. Thank you!
Digging ur videos. Glad I found ur channel
Awesome video!
Thanks again Ryan! Saving me and my wallet from unnecessary pain and anguish.
this guy is revolutionizing the motorcycle industry. big time influencing
Nice content, as usual. I'm new to your channel, but I think it is very good. I have a suggestion for you:, to make this video even better, put some images or film the mods you explain for us, new riders, can take a picture of how it looks.
Great suggestions thanks !
You make my fave motorbike vids
Your videos are really great,
Damn, this kid is good. Quality channel and content.
Nice video. Safety should always be the #1 priority.
Very informative.. Thanks!
your channel is awesome.
Your are so good man,i like your videos
Love your Channel
Love your channel, and this is a particularly good and useful post. Any recommendations on picking crash bars. I have a 2021 Honda NC750x
I'm trying to find where i can safely put one of those simulated train horns on my dual sport... lol
I've used that tire sealent in my old ten speed tires. One bottle did two tires and that was probably too much,but I never had a leak after that!
You're vids are like "Smarter Every Day," but more focused and with some saltier humor, which is great.
Thanks for those tire and light tips. Two handlebar lights under the mirrors would make it look more like a car to vehicles in front of you and therefore easier to register for the driver.
Helpful recommendation!
Your videos make me wish you shipped to the United States. You guys are knocking it out of the park with these.
Yup, apart from the slime I've always added these exact safety measures to the bikes I own / have owned. One thing he could have mentioned is a back-off brake light modulator.
Could you do a review on steering dampeners for cruisers and sport bikes? btw really enjoying the videos man, keep it up.
Just discover this channel, pretty cool! i subed
Great tips, easy to get carried away with lighting and reflective stuff but it's all good fun haha =P
And at least others will see you, I've seen some funky mods.
great videos,tips and advice. correct me if I'm wrong, with the decibels a gain of 3db is twice as loud.
will suggest all my friends to subscribe.....ur channel is sooo...goooood.....
you Sir! just earned a subscriber!
I’m a fan of the LED accent strips. I’ve got white ones above my headlights, a set of blue ones on the front used for under glow. Finally, two others in blue in the back/flanks, with a small modulated light above my license plate.
Bought a new horn thanks to this video. FIAMM freeway blaster. I dunno if i got the best or loudest horn for my bike, but being a 30 year old scooter, the old horn sounded like a can of bees. Huge improvement.
Great video!
When you mentioned decibels I was waiting to see if you mentioned the logarithmic scale. That's not well known!✨🙌
funny glad you brought up the not working on slime tires.....had to rewrite my entire statement mid sentence.....was about to read the riot act 🤣
*very helpful tips!* 👍👌
0:40 a gain of 10dB makes the sound 10x times louder and a gain of 3dB makes the sound about twice as loud. So 15dB is 2^5=32 times louder.
Close but not necessarily. A doubling of perceived loudness is equal to a 10 dB (3.1x) change in sound pressure level, or a 10 dB (10x) change in power level. A horn generating 112 dB SPL should be perceived as slightly more than 2x as loud one generating 100 dB SPL.
I thought that was arealy well presented vid and I really enjoyed watching that, already had the visor mod, and I've tried the slime and the foam but for a roadside repair Ive always had 100% luck in getting home on or continuing the ride, take your pick.
It would be great if you could do a tutorial on 'RadarDroid'.
On the visor part: Sunglasses, I always carry a pair on me and they can be life savers if you only have a clear visor like scrubby me does.
you´re so good, it suck you dont have 10 million subs
