Shumi's Pearls of Wisdom.. Hands down practical and perfect.. I do agree that most of times Aux Lights are not needed and irritating especially when there is a nut shining his sun in your eyes.. But the stock bulbs can also be crap.. For the first night ride i had on my Z, i was almost running blind with the stock bulbs.. Changed it to LED's and all is good.. Opted for a engine guards instead of regular crash bars.. Increased the seat height slightly and am much more comfortable with the position it offers.. My one true gripe is the sponginess of the brakes.. Need ur advice, steel braided lines or a new master cylinder??
@@belsonkoshy7884 First chuck the DOT4 and go to 5.1. If that doesn’t work, braided lines. Still no? Change the pads to a more aggressive one. Still no? Master cylinder.
Apart from their passion and knowledge of automobiles, what makes PD stand out is that whenever they speak it feels like a conversation rather than just a bland and boring commentary.
Wow.. This is what a professional advice.. When the experienced and matured rider speak, there would be some change in the people's mind for sure.. Very very useful video❤️
Wow.. Don't remember the last time a video so well researched, informative and practical was created for bikers. This is platinum quality of information. Well done guys.
Thanks Shumi! It was an awesome video to watch! I'm building a 150cc project bike for my dad, the video really helped, learnt a lot out of it... Lots of Love from Thane, Maharashtra...
The 50 times full tank stats was really great.. I have personally experienced the same - the more you get to ride , the better you get to be by understanding yourself - well explained.. ✌️
This has been by far the most sensible and informative content ive seen in PD. Its not that you dont know all these stuffs but this episode has made made me rethink and rediscover my ideas or logic abt motorcycling. Great job PD and thnx Shumi for the no nonsense approach. Keep up the good work guys!!!!
What a great in-depth knowledge you give to understand about a modifications wow it's a next level I don't see such a great explanations given by MCN even.
Love you man!!! Thanks for sharing so much of knowledge, this helps a lot of people like me who have just upgraded into new segment of bike and are confused seeing modifying the bikes
All points covered 🙌, And yes I did a aux light mod, but i only use it during foggy 4-5 am morning rides or during monsoon off-roading. And the next mod i will be doing is changing the rear sproket for a little bit higher stabilised cruising speed on highway.
Thank you for the info Sensei Shoomi,as of now I don't own any motorcycle. But I surely will do. And podcasts like these are very much knowledgeable for me. Great Podcast.
It's very difficult to find such beautiful analysis on such complex topics and I really appreciate the PD team and specially @shumar for creating these videos.
Shumi has abundance of knowledge on biking. This video has the best practical advice one can get on biking and related spends. Shumi should write a book consolidating all his thoughts for all new bikers to start their biking journey... good stuff
Shumi bhai as allways very informative Podcast. But you forgot to mention, may be just 5-10% people think about performance while modifying their exhausts... The rest just wanted to do it for boomboom n attention😀😀
I am a product designer myself, and because of that, I know how much thought and work goes into designing any part of a vehicle. In six years, I have upgraded my tyres for a stickier set and gotten myself a mobile stand, so that i can read the directions on a mobile screen. My first thought about any modification is: "Whoever designed/manufactured this component, does he know better than me? Yes. Then I should stop fiddling with it" Thank you for enforcing my beliefs.
It's not always true but 99% of the time, a lot of time and effort has gone into every single part of a finished product. We *must* mod it to fit our needs better if we can, but it must be a considered, thought-through change, not a knee-jerk reaction or a peer-pressure thing
Hi team, you just spoke what I used to think about modifications. Amazing. Could you please make a video on how engine modifications work on carburettor and regular KTM engines.most of them just say modifications but no one knows how it is upgraded and how it improves the power
"Weight reduction is a great idea, and there's a better place to do it than the motorcycle." 😂 Though it's not relevant to motorcycles, would you be kind enough to share you weight reduction plan? Feel highly motivated when you said that you never hit the gym!
Wise words! I've been running on a sprocket with lesser teeth at the back for 2+ years and it had a significant role to play, I get more range and the power delivery is better and smooth. I'm planning to get auxiliary lights with filter caps for the reason that was mentioned. Got a handlebar riser because I needed one for comfort and the seat is still stock but I have an air cushion now for very long rides (700+). Never felt the need for an exhaust or anything else and I still do great :) Thank you Shumi for this, it was needed!
Shumi, you are the awesomely wise (beardless) sage of Motorcycling. Thanks for sharing your passion and wisdom with us. I agree with you completely, I always like to do functional mods to the bike, after a long ride, if something on my bike constantly takes my attention off from the ride, I will usually adjust or mod it. Usually it is something small, but after it is done it increases the Joy of riding. I had not thought about Sprockets on increasing bike mileage along with performance. Please make a video if you do get a chance (or share a few links on this), as increasing tank range without too much sacrifice on performance adds to the joy of the ride as well.
There’s nothing to it! Find a speed at which the bike returns most efficiency at which you feel comfy as well. Hold that speed more often than not on rides. Done!
Thank you SHUMI for this video. Many of us bike enthusiasts just look up to you and try to learn many things starting from riding gears to bikes and touring and many things... Really looking forward to learn many more things from the whole team of PD. One thing that very few people mention about is the effort from the team specifically the kind of cinematography we see in the videos on PD is just next level and something that makes me watch the whole without skipping. So credit goes to the creative team as well that we all love the PD channel. 🤟🏼✌🏼✌🏼🤟🏼
Oh yes! We simply wouldn't be able to bring your PowerDrift as we know it if it wasn't for the immense skill and effort from the PD Team! They are the absolute best at what they do!
@@shu_mar no doubt about that. If possible sometimes also do talk about thing/mods/issues/advices related to smaller bikes may be under 400cc. Coz many of us still own a small cc bike and love biking/touring. Thank you.

I love the podcasts that are done in this channel. I saw both episodes of buying an used superbike I might not buy one anywhere soon but it helped me share the knowledge I gained with those who are willing to buy. I must say this that I'm getting a huge amount of information through this podcast episodes and I would like to see 🤔🤔or hear 😂😂 more such episodes. Thank you
As always feeling so much enlightened about bikes!! Shumar sir is an awesome speaker, love his podcasts and the man is a BIKE THESAURUS. Definitely gonna try a different set of sprockets 😈 Love from Sikkim♥️
*listening eyes closed* - thanks for the wisdom _/\_ ! Hope this does make a difference to our 'loud' only riders and they think beyond that. Thanks and Cheers !!
Well.. If all goes well I might get a Ducati ADV bike in future... But for now.... I too agree about never letting go my Duke 390. Awesome video. Super awesome guy.

@@shu_mar exactly , and i really liked the way u presented this stat straight and clear
Lets keep enrolling at driving school aside. Just listen to Shumi and the way we think about bikes and driving them improves a lot.

I can sit here, watch shumi talk about motorcycles for hours. Amazing
All I can say is ' wow'!.. Best ever orator who can talk on and on logically and sense on motorcycling and riding....
Wise words. Thank you so much. Really an eye opener for most of the people planning to modify bikes when straight out of the showrooms.

Thank you Arjun!

Automatic Headlights on new scooters/bikes need to be focused a bit low on road by manufacturers themselves.
Moth effect is really fatal.
Yes scooters on high beams are super annoying!
The new Honda Activa's are annoying when they are behind you and an even bigger problem is there are a lot of them
Thanks @Shumi for bringing that point up..Fitness is the key.. Fitness should be the Mantra of every rider..🙏
Thanks Jerson!
Awesome Shumi✌️
2 new topics for you for vdos-
1. Ur Duke mods
2- Ur fitness mantras
Excellent info as usual
Keep posting

This is what maturity and experience sounds like...thanks for the topic
Very very useful advice given by a matured rider beautifully. I hope more people tastefully modify their motorcycles while keeping them legal
