Imagine the last owner watching this video “horrible modifications”
I bought it from a friend lol, but he wasn't the one who modified it.
@@HeroRR please do an HP4 vs cbr 954rr roll race would be super interesting how they compare!! Please
I am super surprise how he puts cheap stuff on an iconic HP4 that is a piece of the BMW motorcycle history!
@@FirstLast-tx3yj HP4 would kill it...and I'm a 954 owner
i think looking back we all have that regret/realisations of bad mods too haha!
@@undisputed1one 100% that is a known fact
I am a 954 owner but i just wanna see the actual race to see by how far or how much difference there is in the acceleration
I love how patient you are with getting rid of the horrible modifications. I’ve recently taken my stretch off of my motorcycle and brought it back to stock wheel base. It’s amazing how many dumb things you do when your younger.. great video and bike man
Dont trust anyone! BRO change the coolant, check for amy scaling, change oil and filter and inspect the air filter!
Brake, fork and clutch fluid too...Unless he has receipts of service...
@@raynic1173 he might have a mate with a shop...
Receipts arent 100%proof either
7:20, when i bought my CBR600F1 i also changed the battery right away and found a couple of washers and a M6 nut where the battery is. When i took the farings off i found a god damn 10mm socket laying ON the engine block leaning on cylinder 2. The socket was laying loose and i just picked it off the block, it wasn't my socket and i had even ridden around 20km with the socket on the block.
You find weird things inside vehicles sometimes.
that damn 10mms, there the real trouble makes in any tool box. I think they are in a conspiracy with the 10 mm box wrench crowd also. Little fookers.
smaller spools looked better imho. damage on their anodisation for me means a well maintained bike :)
anodised parts = tacky cheap Chinese metal
Hey! Just wanted to say congratulations on the new bike, been watching your videos for like 3 years and love your content.
Big hug from Madeira Island in Portugal!
Also Honda rider here also! 08 1000RR
Thank you! :)
when there's tape on broken connectors and questionable mods...that's when I REALLY question a bikes maintenance history. lol
Exactly. What else did the owner do that's not visible? Start the bike cold and rev it? Use cheap oil?
@@ANSWERTHECALLOFJESUSCHRIST or not change the oil...
Meh. BMW has to cheap out on some parts to keep the cost relatively low. Probably a cheap part that was easy to break.
@@danejurus69 definitely not wrong there
Thank the bike gods , you tossed them ugly mirrors haha .
Best hyperbole of the week, "almost 5 lbs., you'll notice that." lol.
I must add though, loud bikes are definitely fast...so maybe it fits in that same category, lol.
Agreed COMPLETELY on Antigravity adding Threads to their terminals!!!
Most batteries are like that, annoying but if someone cross threaded a terminal, that's likely a new battery, cross thread one of those blocks, that is much cheaper to fix.
Man it’s really not that hard to thread in a terminal correctly though 😂 lol
@@HeroRR it's not hard to thread anything, but people cross thread everything 😂
Imagine paying 200 bucks for a battery and the terminals aren't even threaded
@@jessegm1 Imagine paying 200 bucks for a battery!
The phone mount holder came with the bike looks better that the quad and if you don’t use it just remove the top park and the bike looks way cleaner. Hate the quad cos you have to use their phone case to go with the mount
I love modifying a new bike to make it your own. Virtually all of my mods are to make it perform a certain function better as opposed to just cosmetic stuff. Those new levers are gorgeous! Have fun, but lets see some riding videos next. ruclips.net/video/S12xklB_cPk/видео.html
I like this guy, removes a matching blue spool and puts a huge black one and has the nerve to say it definitely looks better 😢😢
“These are super sweet. Problem is they are super illegal” 😂
Final mod in this series should be circling back and swapping that questionable BMW key tag for a Jizz Machine one from the gents at BVG/44Teeth … surely.
Dude I haven’t seen your vids for a while, what a great choice!!!!! Hp4s are special! Some of the coolest bikes ever and the colorway is money!. I have a 2018 s1000rr and she’s my baby, I know you will be blown away by this bike.
My Blackbird had those (or similar) blue led bulbs that do nothing but cast a slight blue hue on the road in front of the bike. I rode it 3 hours in the dark like that to get it home. That was mod #1 for me. I went with a Hikary Ultra LED bulb for the low beam, and Sylvania Silverstar Ultra for the high beam. I love the LED look, and it's focused enough for city riding. Since you can't quite get the focus of a halogen with an LED, though, I opted to keep a halogen for when I need to see the most. I really like the look of the two-tone headlight with both bulbs on, too.
Edit: I just realized yours were not the actual headlight bulbs that were blue. Mine had horrible blue bulbs as the actual headlights. I couldn't see shit the whole way home.
The Skinemax soundtrack really gives the video a fun feel.
That is such a nice bike Man. Great video too.
I glued the square nuts on my last battery when I put it in on my VFR. Put the epoxy on the top and sides of the square nuts and tightened up the connection they stayed put for 2 seasons while being disconnected 3 times.
The four terminal battery is a really kool idea. Want that for my bike...
hope there are decent samples left when i am able to get one for me self.
subbing just for the HP4 updates!
Nice job!
Those levers look like they need to go too, they appear to be nameless cheap ebay levers (correct me if I'm wrong). I will never understand why people spend 20k+ on a bike and then put dumbass cheap parts and mods on it
Those are bonamici levers lol $200+ folding magnesium alloy with cut outs at the ends to reduce drag when you’re at top speed
@@JmvTv101 that blue is still ulgy as fuck tho
"cheap eBay levers".
Because after spending $20k, they're back to being broke.
I suppose the square nuts are there in case you screw up the threading - its easier to replace. Consider the following life hack: put a small piece pop-up foam underneath the square nuts before placing the battery into the bike. That way they wont fall out of place if your bike is not upright.
I use my HP4 Carbon (Competition) on track only now... still a pretty machine
Learning so much great vid bro 👊
Hell yeah restore that beauty
0:52 +1 for Quad Lock!
I recently brought a brand new Suzuki gsxr and I was wondering what type of things would you recommend putting on it or changing.
Being an Australian, I’ve always used the quadlock phone mounts and cases. As they are an Australian invention by motorbike enthusiasts. Plus, if you don’t like the blue rubber you can get that part in other colours (mines red, to match the colour of my bike). 👍😎🇦🇺
you will really feel the difference with that new battery, it will change the bike completely!
I got monster fairings a few years ago for my gsxr 750 and found lots of goodies lodged into the old plastics and this reminds me of that hahaha
That bike is SO gorgeous
I'm surprised you kept those mono point crash things on each side; not only are they ugly, but they will definitely wreck the chassis is you crash with a bit of momentum. (Source: me who managed to bend a chassis with a multi point school type crash bar).
Really nice bike man👍🏻
To prevent scratching on those fancy new track stand things get a small inter tube and cut to size
Good idea!
I hate stickers. I always suspect they hides some kind of damages.
Love the video man!
Congrats on the sweet bmw
Im still waiting for the right zx12r to come up.
There where a few when i didnt have the money and now theres none atm lol
Nice screwdriver!
I love this japanese once
Someone definitely did a number on that thing. I keep the techmount on my 14 though. Quadlock is just too large and obnoxious for how infrequently I actually have my phone in there. I get the sticker issue though, especially yes, since it's the wrong generation alienhead. Would drive me insane as well.
Ngl the blue ones are pretty cool!
Ever thought about getting an 04-05 GSXR 600, 05-06 CBR600RR, 05 Yamaha R6?
Great bikes just too old
@@NudaMan The reason I say this; is because he's got two liter Honda's from even earlier. It's good to find that sweet spot. Plus, it's surprising how light and driver aid free; those 600's were.
Love your bike, one of my dream bikes. ✌️
Did you have to charge the battery or just install it right out of the box?
Good to go right out of the box!
@@HeroRR Thank you for the fast response. You rock!
I just bought an RC51 with a blaspheme of tasteless mods... I feel your pain
Are HP4 and HP4 Race the same? I didn't think they were road legal, yet yours has indicators?
HP4 is road legal
Definitely not the same , outside of the HP4 being street legal ...night and day difference between the two .
I love that battery. Im gonna get one.
Dude literally every mod you addressed you replaced with gaudier mods...so it matches the blue on my bike...lmao
Will you be doing a 1000cc shootout now then? And obviously the gen 3 s1000rr will win as you own one, even though you never rode any of the others like you used to do with the 600's
Some day I would like to be able to purchace a brand new bike. So I dont have to deal with all the shit the previous owner did.
Looks like this bike is in good hands now. Best of luck with it
Could you tell me where I can buy or the brand and name of the rear integrated turn signals?
Been waiting for my ‘10 s1k to get a motor swap
I removed the tacky bits off my HP4... ABS brake system BS & Electronic Suspension just for starters 😂
Fitted Ohlins front and rear suspension,
Factory Alpha race fuel tank, factory Alpha Radiator and oil cooler & Carbon Wheels plus Alpha L2M dash and now well out of pocket 😂
Wow. Lmao I don’t think I’ll be spending anywhere near that much on this bike haha
Good job, those stickers were horrific
Put a piece of foam or rubber hose under the battery nuts. They'll stay in place while your screwing.
The stickers were bad but the spools you put on look horrible 😬 they are HUGE
Are you going o do the exhaust as personally the size doesnt suit the bike
I have this amazing phone holders on all my motorbikes, it’s my pocket
Do NOT put a LI battery in your ADV bike (I.e. 1250gs). They can’t handle multiple restarts, like if you’re in a difficult section and stall a lot.
The plastic spool things on the screen arms will break. The aluminum ones won't.
Never had a delrin spool break on me. Been using them for over 8 years now.
Nice bike man
Thank You Almighty God for showing me that I will buy one for myself
How much did you get this beauty for for?
Nice bike! I've just bought (4 days ago) one exactly like it (standard) #3950. Missing a few bits and bobs but It will be better than ever and I'm considering to make it a Competition (installing the carbon parts and paint the wheels). +1 follower, good luck with your baby. Just out of curiosity, how much do they worth around there?
I was thinking the same thing, I was going to get my wheels powder coated but I noticed they have the word "HP4" painted on it and I don't want to color over that. Values around here range from about 12k-15k for a non-comp model. Comp models can vary from 14-18k. Crazy how well these bikes hold their value!
@@HeroRR I tought about the same "problem" but I've figured the shop where I'll do the service can fill the letters with silicone or something that doesn't fall off during the procedure. Really? In Portugal where I live there is just one for sale at 24k € (wich is overpriced Prices are between 14-19k). In Germany they go between 13 to 18k, I think they reached their maximum depreciation and are now gaining value. Awesome bike, still figuring how to corner as it is very different from my gixxer but the engine is something else. Keep up with the videos and tell people how great this thing is
Most mods people do are not worth time or money. As i got older i realized why i love riding a bike, to ride alone solitutde, to get away from daily clutter. My phone is not mounted, carry it in case of emergency. Sliders are crazy in slide they can catch dig in and flip bike, make a slide into.major bike tossing, no thanks. Basically if it does not improve performance or lighten bike why waste money. My mods now consist of a few real basics, good tires better brake pads stainless brake lines. Better traction better stopping and better brake feel. Also realized a 600 sportbike has more power stock than is needed on street, or 99 percent ever use so why waste money on power adders, that is just ego crap.
That previous battery wasn't actually charged despite it showing 12v
It should actually show up around 13.7v
12v means it's almost discharged
haha, i made the same mistake with a battery before, i was freaking out as it kept turning off. BTW, i dont buy from antigravity anymore. I bought their little 4 cell batter for a yamaha r3. It died after a season of usage, was massively disappointed. I asked what their refund policy was, they said you need to have some number that was on some paper when it came, so i couldn't even get a refund for that POS. That was the only time i strayed from my tried and true battery tender batteries. Those are actually lasting years as intended.
What battery(ies) do you rely on the most?
@@ivecentral Deltran Battery Tender
What year is it? How many miles?
The spools that were on it looked better from every angle other than an ant's eye view.
MZS levers are bad but their spools are good?
Nice addition to the garage.. I fitted those small paddock stand spigots but in silver. They work well and are unnoticeable compared to the larger black items you fitted.. but to each their own.
I really don’t understand why people put stickers on their bikes or fit tacky anodised parts.. I’m a big oem guy.
I would not use a lithium battery in MA or anywhere it snows. Lithium batteries do not like the cold. Good luck starting your bike on cold days.
Umm who works on their bike with a sidestand when they installed spools... Issue solved with the battery nut :) And 4Lbs savings on a 400ish lbs bike is not significant. You wont even notice it. That is under 1% weight difference. Now saving weight using carbon fiber rims would be significant.
If it’s cold out all you have to do is leave your headlights on for a few seconds to warm up the battery. Then it will start. This only matters in freezing temps anyway which I don’t ride in.
Whats the name of the cover for the gear selector?
1:15 sp connect is waaaay better
I have one too.
Quadlock sucks! I love my Ram mount and the best part. I do not have to buy a new case every year to use my phone mount, unlike others manufacturers.
I want to get the Ram X mount for my bike.
Except the quad lock is way more secure than the ram mount! I had the ram mount and its shit compared to a quad lock.
Hey dude I was wondering if you could try and get your hands on a cbr600f4i for a review?
They were good wheelie bikes. Not crazy fast. Fun but a bit heavy also.
I’d love to. We will see.
How much did you buy your bike for?
Surely you're not keeping those blue levers ?
What did you do with the winglets?
threw them in storage.
Bro took straight shots at the previous owner 😭😭
HP levers is missing I guess it should stock with bike especially price tags should be premium.
That's a funny looking Honda :P
Bonjour,
Où avez-vous acheté le kit leds?
Merci
My dream bike
I'll remove the engine too and put a h2 supercharger engine on it
I'm was amazed when I realized it was a BMW.
Why?
@@malcolm2527 I hadn't seen the other video, and was only listening until I heard him say BMW, and thought what the heck. Ha
Second the stickers
Im late but i always thought a hp4 was a track bike with no lights and road stuff
I still want to buy your RC51.
Nice bike. Get rid of those horrid blue levers
Those spools are horrible should not have even put those on. Sorry but the scratched up ones look nicer than those. They look like damn frame sliders!!!...
Yeah they're a little on the big side... I think they are trying to double as axle sliders?? Idk I don't love them, i'm waiting for pitbulls to come back in stock so I can replace.
Put some putty to keep those battery nuts in place.
I super glue them lol
1:56 what are those things supposed to be/do
"tacky universal phone holder" haha. techmounts are ok, not great, not bad. quadlock broke the camera on 2 different phones I had so I will never use them again.
You have to get the vibration damper.
Seeing you struggle with the battery bolts made me cringe man, hold it there and just screw it in :)
Nice bike.
Uhhh i thought this was mainly a Honda channel 🤣
The first thing i would have taken off are those silly mirrors
What makes them silly?
The fact that they don’t function as mirrors even in the slightest way is pretty silly lol
@@HeroRR all the BMW forums and pages I follow, those are the most sought after mirrors.
@@bradleypolotto5193 they dont fit to this bike. On a Panigale V4 they look good but not on a hp4
@@malcolm2527 They look great on BMW. Way better than any other mirror set up.
id change those horrible levers, oem are much much nicer.
OMG NO WAY!
