One of the best mods for any kind of bike: steel braided brake lines. Very surprised they weren't mentioned. Super easy to install and not that expensive. They'll do a LOT more for your braking than the 2.5kg you save on the battery in both street and track use.
Redneck Dipper man eat little snacks all day and go like hell and you will waste away! Stay away from pop or any processed foods! But don’t do it all at once go easy start small win one small battle at a time. Then a year later when someone sees you ask them for their honest opinion on how you look! Healthy and skinny good fat and lazy bad! Pretty simple really!
First time watching this dude, it literally sounds like he did almost the entire video in one take and only stumbled on maybe 2 words? Super impressive. Now I have to watch more just to see if it was a fluke or if he really is just that godlike.
Great job Lemmy and RevZilla! I really enjoy your infomercials, they are done very thoughtfully. Hey LemLem, I'm built like you in the middle. Recommend me some leathers?
I can tell you that if you order from Leather Up, consider ordering things 2 sizes larger than you are wearing on most stuff. I wear a 3x, but need a 5x on coats there. I also am a bit round, but sizes there run small. Maybe I'm in denial, but just sayin'...good luck!
As I am a bit more familiar with the gear side of things, Lem asked me to shoot you over some recommendations for leathers that are sized a bit more generously. Without knowing your actual measurements I am shooting in the dark a bit but here are some starting points to consider: The Cortech Latigo RR 2.0 is cut a bit more generously. I found it to be very refined over previous generations and dollar for dollar I like it more than the more expensive Adrenaline RR from Cortech. Another one to look at is the AGV Sport Podium suit. When I did California Superbike School these are the suits the instructors used and are the suits provided to their students. I was impressed with this suit the first time I tried one on for a Geek Speak video we shot and even more impressed when I saw the wide range of students CSS was able to outfit with them. Keep in mind that depending on your measurements another option is to get a suit sized larger than you need and then have it tailored down to fit your build often times this results in the fit of a custom suit but for less money than what you would normally have to pay to have a suit built from scratch. We recommend for our customers to reach out to Anthony's Leatherworks for any questions on leather tailoring. Those guys are great. If you have additional questions or want to discuss specific fitments, always feel free to call and chat with one of our gear geeks. There are quite a few track and road race guys on staff that would be more than happy to chat with you.
I've been riding 20 years, its good to watch videos like this (not this video specifically) to stay fresh and relevant. Be open to new ideas and concepts.
A few other things you could of mentioned was luggage/storage, grips, levers and tires. I myself am going to be getting a Honda CB500F 2016-17 soon and I'm going to be swapping the Exhaust for a Akra slip on and adding a Tail Box for a secure lock up location for my helmet as I'm primarily commuting to work. So these are two items that will benefit me, loud pipes and secure storage. Eventually i might look into a tail tidy and some others mods but when i buy the bike those are getting fitted on the day.
Bro it was so awesome, I went to Buttonwillow racetrack. At first it nerve-racking because you don't know the tracking you don't know what to expect, but after the first session you get a lot more comfortable and you start exceeding what you do on the street doing that inside the race track.
I guess these are nice mods but they all come with disadvantages you have to consider, there's a good reason why the bike didn't have these out of the factory. Frame sliders can cause an insane amount of damage to your bike if it's caught on something on the road. The engine "covers" reduces cooling capabilities, there are many accounts of this happening especially in hot climates.
Great Video Lemmy, you touched on everything. I've been riding for over 10 years, in 4 different motorcycles. When it comes to sports bikes. You hit the nail on the head.
it should also be mentioned than with the no cut sliders that at speed the bracket bends and/or snap off. they are no where near as strong as a cut slider. not to mention why a lot of the sliders have gone away from that shape because it grabs the pot hole or something in the road and instead of sliding now goes flying! but great job Lemmy! it's a learning process for new riders!
Mc garage has a good video on frame sliders. Reasons to use plastic rounded ones instead of the long metal ones that will dig in on low sides. For track or hard street use obviously
Agree to disagree. Good video if you're looking into your first bike. Real experienced riders would throw on a stabilizer/ engine protectors/ race compound grips/ Sprocket & Chain etc etc the list goes on. I understand its a quick and informative video for rookies but rather they learn what they really need than just a sugar coated list.
no-cut slider is contentious. I'd go along with that for total rookie 1st investment. Otherwise, commit to cutting the fairing and get straight mounted sliders. Those no-cut sliders are notorious for bending.
And after all that sales waffle no mention of the one mod which really makes a difference, aftermarket adjustable rearsets, they help with positive gear changes as unlike the factory standards they don't crud up inside the spigot which then affects your shifting and wears gear dogs quickly and then theres comfort, factory fitted Japanese rests are made for little Japanese legs and cramp our western legs so positioning these just 1 inch lower and a couple of notches rearward makes for a more comfortable pleasant journey, road or track.
Hey Eduardo, Lem asked me to jump in and help out with gear recommendations. If you would like to let us know what type of gear you're looking for I'd be happy to offer some guidance. When we are outfitting folks we usually start with a few basic questions. Are you looking for track gear or street gear? What are your measurements? What is the weather and temperature in the area you ride? Etc... For example, I use a Spidi Reset Wind race suit on the track because it's better tailored for taller, larger riders like myself. I use Dainese boots because I feel they offer best protection for the best price (That and Sidi boots are too narrow for my feet). The Alpinestars Nucleon KR-1 Road Back Protector is pretty much my favorite stand alone option on the market right now for not only protection but also for adjustability, price, and comfort. We like to treat the quest for new gear like more of a conversation. Feel free to respond here or shoot an email over to CS@RevZilla.com for a one-on-one conversation. You can always call up and have the conversation with one of our Gear Geeks as well. We have plenty of track riders on staff to help answer any questions you may have. Good luck!
The front lift is from Trackside, and the rear is from Pit Bull. To lift the front wheel, you need to lift the rear wheel first to stabilize the bike. Once the rear is up on a rear stand, you can use either a front fork lift stand or front head lift stand. A fork lift stand lifts the front from the bottom of the fork legs, while a head lift stand lifts the front from the head tube. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/pit-bull-stands *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/trackside-front-paddock-stand
Is there a video or can you make a video on how to properly use Sport bike stands? I got the rear one packed down, but the front one for some reason is too wide and I can't find any way to adjust it. I can't remember what brand it is either.
We don't have a specific video for using stands, though we may make one in the future. It seems you need to get an adjustable width front stand or one that's designed for the width of your front end. -DrewZilla
is it just me or the frame keeps moving when shooting lemmy? is it because of a shoulder mounted camera or was the active stability thing on when uploading this video onto youtube? i first thought the tripod was probably on wooden floors but its a "shop" so probably has concrete floors there? its not noticeable but once you notice it, you cant help but get dizzy from watching the frame shift so much.
Maybe you can help, I just bought a used 2013 ssr 250cc enduro dual sport... has some broken plastics and break lever that I want to fix But I cant find the pieces online and im raid of bolts not fiting correctly any sugestions? Maybe bike is not so common?I dont know about motorcicles and bought it used to learn.
Yeah that bike is not common, and we don't have any parts for them. I recommend you contact SSR directly. -DrewZilla *www.ssrmotorsports.com/store/contact_us.php
everything sounds great...if anyone wants my input dont get the snakeskin techspec for the tank pad...they are great for the sides of the tank to keep you on the bike but the middle tank pad destroys the shit out of your jacket
okleydokley I was not talking about my crotch...if u wanna talk about my crotch send me a dm hahaha...I was talking about my jacket rubbing against the hard patern on the tank pad, Since this particular tank pad is made out of grippy material and not smooth as a typical tank pad, it is real hard on the leather or whatever your jacket is made of. Just sharing my experience
yep. That's why I wouldn't use them. If you can't ride on the street w/o dropping your bike all the time, you should probably get a different bike or quit riding.
12:00 so you suggest dual compound tires are as grippy on corners as regular tires, but simply with harder long lasting compound in middle for more miles??
Correct. Most riders square off their tires, because the center of the tires wear down before the sides. With a dual compound tire with a more durable center compound, you get better longevity out of the center tread while still getting increased grip on the edges. -DrewZilla
I found out the hard way one very important mod if you are gonna take your bike to the track is changing your break fluid to racing break fluid. Boiling your break fluid coming into a turn at 130mph sucks. 30 bucks for a can of racing break fluid can save you 1000s of dollars in repairs.
Lemmy actually wrote a tome about those very topics here: www.revzilla.com/common-tread/sliders-everything-you-wanted-to-know-and-some-stuff-you-didnt The idea here was to help a rookie get the right stuff for street riding and occasional track use without busting the whole budget or getting the wrong stuff. -DrewZilla
ahmed alaa stock brakes are ok for beginner track day riders, which this video is geared towards. If not he'd have to start talking steel braided break lines and a whole lot more.
Hey m8, i have a YZF R6 - 2005 and i am trying to find a good all around tire set. Too much information got me confused! I don't do track days but i do use my bike every day. I was thinking to buy the MR 5 but as far as i can see: WET > DRY. I leave in Greece and we do not have too much of a rain here :( can you please suggest me a set of tyres?
The Michelins are great for dry weather too, but you also might consider the Pirelli Rosso III for a focus on dry grip while still getting good tire life. -DrewZilla
Hey quick question: What's that yellow jar-looking thing on motorcycle dash areas like at 0:40? I see them a lot in videos but I have no clue what they do.
We don't build custom bikes as a shop, but we have made some videos of what is possible with a sport bike, Harley Sportster, etc. Just another way to show the stuff we sell at revzilla.com. -DrewZilla
Have you ever ridden a motorcycle? If not, start on something small. Buy a used Ninja 250 or Ninja 300, ride it for a year or two, the move up to a bigger bike. -DrewZilla
RevZilla Thanks for reaching back Drew, I've never operated a bike. But I'd love to get personally acquainted with one. I value your recommendations nonetheless look forwarded to purchasing from RevZilla
II · XXIV · MCMXCIII Starting on a new 1000cc is a replica for disaster bud. Start on a 300 or something similar and get used to it. If you drop a supersport, it's a very expensive repair. For you, and the bike.
Apologies for all the messages. I wasn't sure if I'd actually get a reply. It's also a Yamaha R6 just like in the video. And the frame sliders are identical to the ones shown in this video, and are bolted in the same place. I wasn't used to the clutch, as it got re-adjusted today. And while doing a slow u-turn I had no power, as the clutch now engages much later than before. And I dropped the bike on it's right side. I'm probably overreacting, and everything's fine. But since there isn't really much discussion on the topic, I just wanted to make sure.
tail tidys are just pointless. One rain storm and you know why. #1 mod: tires. #2: pads #3 proper fork springs if you weight above 180. Its ridiculous in 2017 we still have to put tank grips on and add USB ports to new bikes.
Tail tidy's don't really have an effect on how much crap gets kicked up because pretty much all bikes these days are sold with rear huggers. They actually put the longer tail on because legally, the number plate has to be positioned behind the rear wheel from factory.
Lemmy talking sportsbikes? I feel so conflicted...
I'd like to see Lemmy riding sportbike.
He rode a Grom...that was fun.

Maybe true but a lot of these mods make sense especially those pegs or whatever that protect it when it tips over.. also the thing on the back tire

What kind of front wheel lift did you use? Do you brace the bike with blocks under the engine when propping up the front to take the wheel off?
The front lift is from Trackside, and the rear is from Pit Bull. To lift the front wheel, you need to lift the rear wheel first to stabilize the bike. Once the rear is up on a rear stand, you can use either a front fork lift stand or front head lift stand.

I heard that the frame sliders sometimes tend to bend the frame where they are connected on impact. Is it true?
yep. That's why I wouldn't use them. If you can't ride on the street w/o dropping your bike all the time, you should probably get a different bike or quit riding.
J P yep. They protect in low speed impacts but high speed impacts will bend the frame / engine mount

I found out the hard way one very important mod if you are gonna take your bike to the track is changing your break fluid to racing break fluid. Boiling your break fluid coming into a turn at 130mph sucks. 30 bucks for a can of racing break fluid can save you 1000s of dollars in repairs.

Brake pads , you should have mentioned track/ racing pads as a good mod in the track section

We don't build custom bikes as a shop, but we have made some videos of what is possible with a sport bike, Harley Sportster, etc. Just another way to show the stuff we sell at revzilla.com. -DrewZilla
super good video...
I am looking to purchase a bike, I am not sure on the make and model. I want something fast
Yamaha R1M 2017
BMW S1000RR 2017
Any suggestions?
Have you ever ridden a motorcycle? If not, start on something small. Buy a used Ninja 250 or Ninja 300, ride it for a year or two, the move up to a bigger bike. -DrewZilla
RevZilla Thanks for reaching back Drew, I've never operated a bike. But I'd love to get personally acquainted with one. I value your recommendations nonetheless look forwarded to purchasing from RevZilla
II · XXIV · MCMXCIII Starting on a new 1000cc is a replica for disaster bud. Start on a 300 or something similar and get used to it. If you drop a supersport, it's a very expensive repair. For you, and the bike.
"give us a ring on the telly-bone im lemmy and im outta-here" 🤙
They forgot category 3. The people going down the highway at 150 running from the cops.
when do you see that every day?
Nice Video!!!
Wouldn't crash bobbins damage/bend your frame, If you drop your bike while standing still?
Generally no, but it really depends on the design of the sliders, how they attach to the frame, and how the bike falls. -DrewZilla
Apologies for all the messages. I wasn't sure if I'd actually get a reply.
It's also a Yamaha R6 just like in the video. And the frame sliders are identical to the ones shown in this video, and are bolted in the same place.
I wasn't used to the clutch, as it got re-adjusted today. And while doing a slow u-turn I had no power, as the clutch now engages much later than before. And I dropped the bike on it's right side.
I'm probably overreacting, and everything's fine. But since there isn't really much discussion on the topic, I just wanted to make sure.
In that case, you're likely fine. -DrewZilla
Thanks man! Regards from South Africa. 👊🏻
Wait Yamaha r6 are race replicas?
Lol as soon as you started talking about the exhaust KN ZX10R just ripped past my house
What's the point of changing the battery to reduce weight when a guy with 250 pounds sitting on it?
Would it be Pesos or Dollars in payment??
Payment is in US Dollars. -DrewZilla
tail tidys are just pointless. One rain storm and you know why. #1 mod: tires. #2: pads #3 proper fork springs if you weight above 180. Its ridiculous in 2017 we still have to put tank grips on and add USB ports to new bikes.
okleydokley Ya, automotive technology progresses excruciatingly slow compared to technology-technology.
Fenders are ugly and heavy and pointless. The tail tidy it lighter better looking and still just as safe if you install it correcrly
Tail tidy's don't really have an effect on how much crap gets kicked up because pretty much all bikes these days are sold with rear huggers.
They actually put the longer tail on because legally, the number plate has to be positioned behind the rear wheel from factory.
Ive decided Puig is the funniest brand name I've ever heard :)

"Oh neat let me watch this and see what I might want for my bike."
*Proceeds to realize I already own everything he says*
