yep that's exactly what a break in period is, gp race bikes dont say wait, i've only got 15 miles in the bike, wait up guys, only got 485 miles left for break in,,
Good to know you have bonded with your bike and are now starting to enjoy what the H2 can do following its first service. Keep up your honest approach towards motorcycle ownership it is much appreciated. Thank you.
Grip with your knees. Once you develop the habit of gripping with your knees, you have zero weight on your wrists. Tense your core and grip with knees.
Yessir, I have several thousand miles on my H2 and I flashed the ecu myself using the woolich software. You should give it a look, makes flashing the H easy and it’s a very neat process to learn to do yourself. With just a slip on and a flash she will make well over 240hp to the wheel. WHEEE! 👍🏽
And when you replace that heavy exhaust they way she flicks from side to side in transitions is magical, I set my rear shock up properly for my weight, sag at 29mm front, 28mm rear. Gives the bike a stable and confidence inspiring feel at any lean angle. I can regularly hit 48 degrees of lean on the street on my familiar roads. :) the lean angle sensor remembers your lean angles. Pretty sweet.
I've just bought a Pro-race end can for mine. It's not road legal, but it should sound good! BTW, my Gen 2 ZZR1400 was re-mapped by BSD Performance of Peterborough. Might be worth checking them out?
Most Traffic Police are enthusiasts themselves. So as long as there's nothing seriously out of order, then they probably just wanted to look and listen to your bike. I Can't blame them.
6 weeks for 600 miles! You're racking up the miles even slower than me! But then I've only got the one bike! :D Glad you're already planning the mods out mate. I know they're VERY different animals, but going up from a 50 to a 55 really livened up the steering on my horse. Amazing that such a small change can have such a pronounced effect. I even shelved the rear end jack up kit that I had ready to go because of it! Based on your history so far though, I'd recommend going for the softer seat before anything else! Your poor delicate botty!!
Loving the H2 vids. Can’t wait until you’ve fully run it in. And interested to see how it fares longer term. And cool to see Greenham Kawasaki - my local dealer. Great outfit. Cheers, Matt.
Ran my 08 R1 in hard - followed 'the book' for the first 200 miles; but after that, it was plenty of gear changes and lots of revs - though within reason (not pinning it 24/7), Worked brilliantly, followed a similar routine, for my 765 RS.
Love it! Funny enough i was coming back from Newbury to Basingstoke a while ago and saw a kawasaki H2 and wondered if it was you Chops? Now after I've seen your video it confirms it. I must admit that you weren't hanging around. LOL
Also these look like a good solution for longer rides, see what you think skyoutdoor.store/products/airseat%E2%84%A2?fbclid=IwAR33QgK2tyMPfazkRytHP7NHFQW9vh_n9-eEeYERNPHPRiGDiamVpnFu93U
@@LambChopRides Or maybe just to have in the back for long trips if you do change the seat. Even on my ER6f it gets a bit uncomfortable after a lot of miles in one day, I might get one myself some day.
It's rich not because of heat but to keep preignition, detonation, from happening. Leaning it out will definitely make more power, but a few seconds detonation with a supercharger can grenade your engine. My friends with a 1.8T VW found that out the hard way
Nice vid & good to see you've started enjoying the bike after the tank debacle. Things like that can sometimes sour ownership but it's such a special bike, it was just a blip. Also made me genuinely lol when you said about releasing 240+bhp at the rear wheel. Absolutely bonkers. You could tell when you were riding back that you were barely scratching the surface of it. So did the Rozzers lol. Good to see they had better things to do than let you by then pull you, which I have come across before. On a bit of a random note, one thing I really hate is when car drivers try & wave you by, usually on blind bends.....& usually when something's coming in my experience!
Although the H2 has a surprisingly upright seating position (even more so than a Hayabusa or ZX-14R), I agree wholeheartedly on the discomfort which can be induced from the firm seat and from one's body weight resting on their wrists after just a short ride. To reduce the tingly sensation in your hands, try this Handlebar Weight Set--which is one of the few Kawasaki genuine accessories for the H2. They are the exact same size, shape, and design (with nine holes) found on the stock bar ends, except they are solid metal and weigh 125 grams each versus the stock ones which weigh a mere 45 grams each. (I weighed them out precisely on a digital kitchen scale). Another note of difference: they have a dark gray matte finish instead of the glossy black finish found on the stock ones. I watched my dealership's mechanic switch them out in about one minute using a Number 6 Allen wrench. (Fortunately, the original bar ends are not lock-tighted in, and no oiling of the threads for the new ones is necessary per the included instruction packet). I found they reduce the numbness in my hands about 80%, and so are well worth the price. My local Kawasaki dealership ordered them in and sold them at a slightly discounted price of $85 (versus MSRP of $104.95), so hopefully your local dealership's price should be around 68 pounds....www.kawasaki.com/accessories/item/handlebar-weight-set/999941047
On my old Daytona 1200 (1995) it was always the wrists, anything less than 80MPH was torture. Still have the bike, LSL superbike bars going on next week.
Oh mate I dunno if I could handle that run in procedure, I think I would have given it the full beans by now ☺️😂 won’t be long now though! Really love the H2 and it’s not healthy for me to watch your vids as it’s making me want to buy one even more!! 🤣 Can’t wait to see the future mods you do to the bike. Great vid as always 😎👌
You'll have to take it on track 👍👍Surely during "running in" you could give it short bursts at higher revs helping to bed the engine in.Rather than holding to 5000 then holding to the next recommended limit. 😀
I would hate having to "break-in" a bike in, as I have no self control. Good for you Chops! Also not sure how hard it would be, but ever since I heard these with non-intercooled, I'm eeen curious how much more power this bike would make with E85, as it's a much "cooler" fuel, and would allow higher boost/timing, and is used as a intercooler in boosted applications.
Yeah not sure on the E85 question, you can buy intercooler kits but seems it just runs a radiator with cold water feed in the airbox which the charged air passes through the fins.. Not a true intercooler where the charged are is in the radiator and cooled.
Thanks Pete, yes I do love it, just need to improve comfort levels as currently it's worse than the new RR BMW and my GSXR which there is no need for it to be! Out tomorrow to Weymouth so that will finish run in 👹👹
Look how horizontally mounted the levers are on the H2 are, ie typical Kawasaki to do that. If the fairing does not get in the way when turning then lower/tilt the levers a bit more down so that your wrists do not get so stressed. Your arms are naturally in an angle and the levers should be that as well, and not be in horizontal position for comfort. If you sit high up and your arms are in a horizontal way to the handlebars then naturally the levers should also be horizontal but when you are leaned forward, well... But I am certain that the levers have a dimple or a hole to match the clippon as it was on my kawasaki, so filling down the dimple is a must, and of course the "mod" must work with the fairings.
Hey Chop, SideShow here from the states. Just wondering, I’m riding a 2015 KTM SDR, and I know you put a lot of work into the one you had and went on that gnarly long tour on your, how would you compare the SDR to the H2 in a overall? Please and thank you sir
So very different cant even compare them really.. Not even sure where to start to answer that sorry :-) Completely different sort of bikes in every-way
Hey, thanks for getting back. My neighbor picked up a H2. I think he’s clues to the break in mileage. I told him to watch your channel cuz you do a lot of cool upgrades and run threw the bikes well. So really I was just looking at getting you to say how much better the SDR was then the H2, so when he reads this I can tell him to piss off!!😂
I’m comfortable with the hypersensitive throttle after some rides! A smoother throttle mapping was installed on the 2018-2019 models right? Enjoy the bike life mate
100% agree about the wallopers driving in the gutter chucking up all the stones and crap at the side of the road. Drives me nuts!!! Enjoy the H2 Chops, what sorta range are you getting from a tank? Cheers, Ewan
Yes came across a bit pissed and nearly edited that out, but does drive me mad! Running in tank range is about 140 miles, sure when I start upping the throttle its going to reduce I'm sure :-)
Interesting about the 30% throttle opening at full RPM, I read that the 1290 Super Duke, and maybe all ride by wire bikes (above a certain engine size, have the same thing going on), Do you know if this is the case for the KTM? Glade to see you on the Cow-ee. My personal top choice of motorcycle. Enjoyed the video as always.
No the Superduke runs full throttle as far as Im aware or I would have had that removed from mine! I think its there as Kawasaki just wouldnt want to sell a 250 HP road bike, thats why they did the H2R
''Crikey its the Rozzers''....thought you let him pass to pull him over ....i'm not writing in my note book, pulled up a lamb chop riding a motorcycle,can you imagine back at the yard.....nuff said.
It's rich on top also to avoid detonation under boost (not just cooling), as the compression is quite high for a boosted application motor. Be sure to have it tuned by a real pro who has experience with this concrete type of bike.
Out of interest - this "Brock" you mention, that's not the knobber in the US is it? The guy who carries out completely idiotic modifications on his GSXR 1000 road bike?
Yes dont listen to Mat for everything, Brock has some incredible detailed mapping videos and you will see he does know his stuff. Its very easy to pick and poke fun at something somebody said out of context. I watched those videos and he was talking about reducing drag on the brakes for drag racing not recommending you do the same for road riding. Theri Gixxer project is a drag bike only
It’s a shame in my opinion that you are treating this like a normal bike, and modding it , they are so rare , and exclusive , and cost a lot of money, a friend of mine has bought one and never rode it , it sits in a heated garage , in 10 or 15 yrs guess it will be worth a few bob more, than it was new , either way can’t blame ya , you paid the money and own the beast , so what you do to it , is your choice cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧
I didnt buy this bike as a garage queen, I told myself if I buy this it will be used. Im not going far with the mods, just unlocking the bikes real potential really, I have no plans for any bolt on parts other than stuff to make it more comfortable.
step 1: get a h2 step 2:fuck breaking it in step 3: straight to the autobahn step 4:floor it and see how far you can get untill it eats all your fuel money step 5:eat something if u still have money.
Those people pulling into the gutter, nice of them to think of us, but not helpful at all....... My favourite though, which seems to be happening a lot lately, people slowing down and waving you past on or near blind bends. Thanks, but no thanks.
If kawasaki designed the TBs to be opened 33% at full throttle its for a reason, and if its rich its for a reason. Why spend all that money and think you can do it better than than that little company Kawasaki heavy industries? You got stiffed with that map before that was killing your engine because the cylinders were all running differently. Why not just leave it and enjoy it.. And stay safe
There are a number of reasons why Kawasaki would limit the bike, probably just so they are seen as being a responsible manufacture and not criticized for releasing a crazy power bike for road use. Another reason could be insurance, no insurance companies would insure a 250 hp road bike. I suspect the reasons its restricted are more political than any mechanical limitations as many people have removed these restrictions without issue.
The "break-in" period is likely just there to keep new owners from dying in the first week.
New tires are pretty slick too.

step 4:floor it and see how far you can get untill it eats all your fuel money

Those people pulling into the gutter, nice of them to think of us, but not helpful at all....... My favourite though, which seems to be happening a lot lately, people slowing down and waving you past on or near blind bends. Thanks, but no thanks.
Yes Ive had that one too!! Waved on into oncoming cars haha.
It’s a conspiracy, I think they want to get rid of us. 🤣
H isn't the problem... It's that little laugh you do... Argh... 😀
If kawasaki designed the TBs to be opened 33% at full throttle its for a reason, and if its rich its for a reason. Why spend all that money and think you can do it better than than that little company Kawasaki heavy industries? You got stiffed with that map before that was killing your engine because the cylinders were all running differently. Why not just leave it and enjoy it.. And stay safe
There are a number of reasons why Kawasaki would limit the bike, probably just so they are seen as being a responsible manufacture and not criticized for releasing a crazy power bike for road use. Another reason could be insurance, no insurance companies would insure a 250 hp road bike.
I suspect the reasons its restricted are more political than any mechanical limitations as many people have removed these restrictions without issue.
Overfuelling? Slap an Ahmed Bayjoo chip in it and you'll be fiiiine :D
