I tried the Sena 50S hoping that it was better than my 20 series units. I immediately returned it and got a Cardo Edge... holy crap, it is night and day. Cardo is 1000% better!! I am now a Cardo Man... never going back to the bad support, too quiet, horrible sound quality, crap that is Sena!
I’ve been watching this channel for years and I finally did the msf and got my first bike last month! to anyone that is bikeless but watches motorcycle content JUST GET ONE! it’s one of the most fun experiences I’ve had
@@LuisAlfredo90 mt-07 is a nice “cradle to grave” bike that I recommend a lot. Easy enough to ride that you won’t instantly kill yourself but fast enough that you’ll never “outgrow” it if you keep the right mindset
@@talltale9760 haha I actually bought a lightly used 2018 mt07, plenty of personality and really all you “need” for the street especially for a new rider

@@kozmoofficial1480the wireless charger is kinda overkill (imo) since you often need multiple stops on long rides (food, fuel, cleaning, streatching, etc...) where I chose to use a fast charging powerbank
Combine the tank bag and phone mount by getting a tank bag with the clear window and phone holder. You can carry snacks, extra batteries for your GoPro and other essentials. Or if you are in Flint Michigan like I am you can carry a backup gun and a bunch of extra loaded magazines. 🤣
I wonder how many people have wrecked and been thrown a distance from their bike and hurt badly and can't call anyone to help because they just happen to be riding alone in the twisties. Even if they're laying beside the bike it's likely the phone will be sent a ridiculous distance into the woods from the wreck. I've traveled the united states' and only ever read the road signs and showed up to my destination every time. Keep your phone on you. Trying to read a phone screen while riding isn't the best option for most anyways.
I’m a BMW GSA dad. Just without kids. If I had kids I probably couldn’t afford everything on this list. Which I have. This video is spot on. I recommend getting each item in each category.
I am thinking kinda the same. In india, everything is expensive, i mean we don't have public schools so everyone goes to private schools etc. so i am thinking never to have kids and do all the things that i like doing instead. I have seen many guys having kids and not enjoying their life bcos they have to feed their fam.
Family court can never take your bike ;) having kids isn’t a choice (it’s a sentence) UNLESS The mother is picked with as much precision as we pick our bikes… true story, middle age male here 1 kid and 1 motorbike, I see my bike daily but son… defiantly live a life you won’t regret just be happy at 140mph :)
I went full dad with the glasses I wear while riding. I have a pair of full on prescription safety glasses complete with polycarbonate transition lenses... best piece of kit I purchased in a long time
I’m a Wisconsin rider. Me and one other got at work have our bikes in the parking lot from the first rain of the year (that washes all the salt off the road) until the first snow off the year. Heated grips are a must. We both use the bike master brand. I think they’re about $50/60 and work great. You do have to remember to turn them off otherwise you’ll kill your battery.
A pair of sunglasses and a clear visor is the easiest day-to-night option, followed by a transition visor, followed by a helmet with a built in sun visor. All are good options, but I don't think it's ever a good idea to rely only on a tinted visor all the time. You need to be more versatile than that. Also, hell yes on the luggage. With age comes wisdom and a matched set of hard bags. Call me a nerd, I don't care. I can carry stuff, you can't. I win.
I've got got 30L panniers on both sides and a 55L TopBox. It is SOOOOO handy while travelling, especially if going for a picnic or ride with my partner. Before would have to carry a backpack. Now me and my partner can comfortably go for a weekend getaway with the panniers and topbox fully loaded and nothing on our backs or laps. Plus my partner can lean against the topbox as a backrest. Granted I do have the luxury of owning more than 1 bike, this is mounted on my ADV bike while my naked bike has nothing
I always had back pack back in the day had pare shield in it tinted for day if I rode into evening pulled over put clear one on. sunglasses a pain to get on and off in full face plus I could flip up tinted when refueling and going into store or if I need clear quick glance at something. Also had nice clothe and cleaner for the days when bugs were out in number. Good back pack is only thing I ever needed no phone holder or sliders or most of the junk guys use today. I was riding I needed bike gear and open road and gas money LOL
I rode to ride if i was staying over night or going to see family and needed luggage took a car. I am sport bike guy I rode for backroads and speed, did not need anything that back pack could not carry. anything else is weight and slows bike and kills handling and braking. Bike was my ferrari, fast and slick minimal things. if it did not make make bike stop or go better I did not want it. luggage is for cars not bikes. Bikes are for speed and fun, at least for me, but you gold wing guys are cool if you like to travel fine. If I travel I take a car. safer more space for junk and tunes and no rain on me. LOL
Pro tip: make sure your trickle charger is rated for the correct batter type. Most standard chargers only support traditional lead-acid or AGM (absorbed glass mat) batteries. If you have upgraded to a lithium battery (I don't think they come stock on any bikes yet), you will need the appropriate charger, ideally one that can toggle between both types. Also helps to invest in a battery with a built in jump starter for emergencies.
Triumph speed triple RS/RR, 2022 Tiger1200 and BMW S1000RR atleast comes with Lithium batteries from factory. I'd say many other top dick models from different manufactorers come with Lithium stock aswell
@@TheJunky228 it's really just a battery management system so the battery never over drains should you leave it on for an extended period by accident, and allows you to jump it with whatever is left over
@@Cthooligan oh ok, so not really jumping it but just making sure it doesn't overdrain to the point it can't turn over the starter. that sounds like a nice system, something I'd kind of expect most to have these days. as for me, I've got a kickstart 😁
Regarding the photo chromatic visor, a cheap DIY alternative that I use is putting insulating black tape on the upper part of your visor, so it acts like a sun visor. For a more aesthetic finish, you could use paint instead. Works like a charm.
I have 3 sheilds dark tint light tint and clear change them as day goes. back pack is great for carrying spares and other nice junk like a rag for bugs with some cleaner.
transition/photochronic/photogray visors shields are not all they’re talked up to be. depending on conditions, transition periods can last several minutes during which you may see ghost-like shadows in your visor. Your visual depth of field (sense of perspective) may also be flattened or otherwise distorted. The conditions in which these things happen include tunnels, street lights at night, and shady country roads. Even overcast sky can cause distortion in what you see through a transition visor. Essentially, any time the light is not uniform, even a little bit, your transition visor is going to transition, or at least try to.
Okay so watching this video made me come up with an invention idea and if anyone wants it, go for it. Basically its a hand warmer and a tampax pad combined so its a hand warmer that sticks to the seat of your bike right near the crotch area. This earea has many major arteries flowing near it meaning it is an amazing place to heat up when riding. This would be a cool cheap alternative to seat warmers.
I live in the frozen wasteland of North Carolina and yeah, trickle charger. I've had my bike for 2 years and both winters I've had to replace the battery because it's been hopelessly flat, even when it barely gets below freezing for a couple months
Yammie, I love the channel but would like to have some consideration for an old guy like myself. I am 65, have a Zook Burgman 400 and have had a small stroke but just wanted to keep riding. With the automatic transmission and the hand brakes, it works for me, however, some of the content is a bit more sportbike oriented. Just asking to keep us other guys in mind from time to time.. I live outside of the Austin area and would love to meet up to join a ride with you and the others, at some time too.
If you find yourself taping together something that used to be your turn signal more than a few times a year you might consider something like bark busters. They also save your hands if you go down hard.
I have a Chinese replica of a Ninja 300, I love the bike, it’s great for learning but the speedometer is way off. So I got a Rokform mount, I use a speedo app that is accurate (tested in my car) makes me feel more comfortable learning. Im a chick with anxiety and I was wondering why ppl were tailgating, I was going about 35 in a 45 and didn’t know haha
I don't need a throttle lock, because all longer rides are on highways with 70 mph+ speed limits, and for my little 250, that's throttle all the way open lol
If it's actually cold, as in winter, heated gloves work much better than heated grips as you have heat where you actually need it, on the back of your hands where the wind chill is . Heated grips are great if you're out riding on a nice day, and encounter some cooler temperatures, in the mountains for example, as they'll take the chill off in anything but actual cold weather.
All these are good except the first one. Last thing you need is another distraction leading you into the rear bumper of the school bus stopped at the red light.
Love these videos! Very good edutainment. Only have one tiny complaint, it would be great to have a short summary in writing, just the main points and if possible some links as well. Other than than, keep up the good work and I’m sure I’ll continue to enjoy your vids.
Hey!!!! Cooks Corner! I live right around the corner from that place. It's awesome! If you are ever in Orange County, CA you have to stop by and check it out.
Phone mount yes, but not for the new iPhones. The camera gets broken due to the vibrations. I bought an OUKITEL WP5 off of Amazon to serve as my navigation. Just use your hotspot on your iPhone to the OUKITEL WP5. Then, Bluetooth from OUKITEL WP5 to your helmet coms for spoken navigation directions.
My first option new bike, getting rid of the toxic lead acid battery. Lithium prostate iron batteries are lighter, smaller, more CCA, longer warranty, last 3-5 times longer vs lead acid, no explosive hydrogen gas, no corrosion or leaking, NO TRICKLE CHARGER, full cranking power to 10% vs 70% of charge needed lead acid,
when I bought my vstrom I threw the catalog on it. I wish it had cruise control as I haven't found a throttle lock I like after trying a few types. The best investments I made in accessories though is heated grips, heated Corbin seat, the hand guards, and a center stand. As well as almost everything else on the list. It's a great bike for sure but that being said there's no way I'd want bags on my z900. it's all about the riding you'll do with it
Beware of debri and bugs in hot weather get some safety glasses cheap plastic ones with straight ear pieces protect eyes from bugs but allows shield up for air flow
My iphone camera’s got ruined by using a phonemount on a motorcycle in 30 minutes because of the vibrations. I used a Rokform kit. Much regret. Use with caution. For me: never again.
You know yammie is so helpful and funny and creative about his content and needs millions of subs but I’m glad he doesn’t because when people get that famous then they kinda become unreachable but their fans
I literally plan on buying something that has an in-screen dash monitor navigation just so I don't need to put my phone out in the open when I'm riding. Like the Kymco Xciting S400i. Or the KTMs
Number 8 I've had transition lenses for glasses, for roughly 10ish years. dont get them. Save your money and get a pair of dedicated sunglasses. I cant speak for the transition visor but if functions just like the glasses I dont recommend it. I was snow blinded in the car and my transition glasses NEVER darkened, got a pair of dedicated sunglasses and was perfectly fine.
worst was when my battery died when i was at work got off late and didn’t have even a tool to get under the seat to the battery. bought one of those batteries with a button for just such an occasion and put some allen keys under the seat. painful lesson learned
Don’t mount your phone on the handlebars, the vibes will kill the sensitive electronics, esp. an iPhone and you risk becoming distracted by the phone at a critical moment.
Came to say the same thing. If you care about having a fully-functioning camera on your phone, don't mount it to your bike. Over time the vibrations will destroy the stabilisation/focusing components. I'd rather get a dedicated satnav than have a potentially broken camera.
I had a set of frame sliders do MORE damage...on a 2007 GSXR1000 that went down the impact of the slider created a single impact point and where the slider was mounted punched a hole in the frame!!! Went from new plastics, bar ends and what not to ...TOTALED!
What if you bought a craiglist special that runs great but doesn't have a working speedo? A gps speedo is a handy solution. Plus it will be accurate unlike the optimistic factory speedos. Even if you've got decades of driving experience there's no comparison in speed feel. No RUclips video will teach a baby squid what 75 feels like on a bike. And in most cases to someone new 45 on a bike feels like 75 in a car, 85 on a bike is mach a billion.
When I got my ninja 400 2021 model I promised I never get a back bag system a year later I'm running my bike with a bag system lol never knew how I rode with out one

I use sunglasses I got for free from some credit union at a job fair, so extra bonus.

Beware of debri and bugs in hot weather get some safety glasses cheap plastic ones with straight ear pieces protect eyes from bugs but allows shield up for air flow
straight ear slide ineasy with helmet on can pop on and off at redlight
The biker bar you put up called cooks corner is like 10 min from my house. both directions off it are beautiful windy backroads
I'm offended by free advice. 😤
Thank you for this.
My iphone camera’s got ruined by using a phonemount on a motorcycle in 30 minutes because of the vibrations. I used a Rokform kit. Much regret.
Use with caution.
For me: never again.
what do you use now then?
right. tryin ta teall them!.

You know yammie is so helpful and funny and creative about his content and needs millions of subs but I’m glad he doesn’t because when people get that famous then they kinda become unreachable but their fans
I literally plan on buying something that has an in-screen dash monitor navigation just so I don't need to put my phone out in the open when I'm riding. Like the Kymco Xciting S400i. Or the KTMs
Number 8
I've had transition lenses for glasses, for roughly 10ish years.
dont get them. Save your money and get a pair of dedicated sunglasses.
I cant speak for the transition visor but if functions just like the glasses I dont recommend it. I was snow blinded in the car and my transition glasses NEVER darkened, got a pair of dedicated sunglasses and was perfectly fine.
Thanks for your video :)
worst was when my battery died when i was at work got off late and didn’t have even a tool to get under the seat to the battery. bought one of those batteries with a button for just such an occasion and put some allen keys under the seat. painful lesson learned
Roll start?
battery with a button?. what good r the allen keys under the seat if u cant get the seat off?.
Love the little cooks corner shoutout
"early April Midwest riders". Me riding this year is February in Michigan
Thank you 👍
Kind of funny. Those neon lights under your bike, they are a illegal mod in my country. Lightmod on the helmet is also illegal sadly
Me: don’t get offended
Yammie instantly: you probably wear suspenders
Me: shit
Come in from recess looking like Neo from the matrix. So fucking funny 😂
My aprilia rsv4's winglets are framesliders right from the factory!
Pay attention the road, pull over and check your phone if you’re not sure where you’re going
For the bagger haters, 1/2 this list doesn't apply to us Daddy Baggers.
Don’t mount your phone on the handlebars, the vibes will kill the sensitive electronics, esp. an iPhone and you risk becoming distracted by the phone at a critical moment.
Came to say the same thing. If you care about having a fully-functioning camera on your phone, don't mount it to your bike. Over time the vibrations will destroy the stabilisation/focusing components.
I'd rather get a dedicated satnav than have a potentially broken camera.
I was waiting for YN talking about the side guards to say in case you have to....... just lay her down brother
Bro hit a nerve on the joke about stalking your ex
Yammie the goat
I had a set of frame sliders do MORE damage...on a 2007 GSXR1000 that went down the impact of the slider created a single impact point and where the slider was mounted punched a hole in the frame!!! Went from new plastics, bar ends and what not to ...TOTALED!
o ya theyre for looks ur not supposed to use them..
@@ribalderr6052 😂👍🏼
New sub ! Liked ❤️😅😀✌️
Heated grips was the first thing i got fitted on my ninja
I got some Shad side cases for the Z900RS. Ruins the look but it's so very very handy. And they detach so you can carry them like suitcases
Didn’t know zeros could wheelie
patch of velcro on the tanks, keeps your phone on ur bike 99% cheaper
#2 comms: why comm system as opposed to wearing AirPods which can be used for music, communication etc?
The handle bar phone mount has these motorcycle RUclipsrs in a chokehold. Especially as a beginner you should not be looking at a phone while riding.
What if you bought a craiglist special that runs great but doesn't have a working speedo? A gps speedo is a handy solution. Plus it will be accurate unlike the optimistic factory speedos. Even if you've got decades of driving experience there's no comparison in speed feel. No RUclips video will teach a baby squid what 75 feels like on a bike. And in most cases to someone new 45 on a bike feels like 75 in a car, 85 on a bike is mach a billion.
Love these recommendations, almost as much as I’d love to see if you would recommend a W800 after reviewing it on the channel. W800 when?
When I got my ninja 400 2021 model I promised I never get a back bag system a year later I'm running my bike with a bag system lol never knew how I rode with out one
