I own a 2014 bolt r spec. My first bike and I do love it. Wishing for 6 speed and a little more power. It’s still pulls well it’s just like anything else get used to the power and want more. Put baron h bars on mine highly recommended them if you won’t want to change brake lines and clutch cables. Awesome bike and cruising around on it is a blast.

@WhiskeyChaser 2 жыл бұрын

A 6 speed on this bike would make it a perfect build platform. I have no idea why yamaha couldn't add that, at least these last couple of years. Even Honda and Harley got with the program.

I bought the 2014 bolt R spec new. Nearly 10 years later, the reality is that it is powerful "enough", reliable as anything out there, way smoother than the HD equivalent, and though it doesn't matter I literally get compliments every time I ride it (as recent as last week, which is also the last time I rode it).

Any issues with the front bearings? I keep hearing about a death wobble. Folks change the bearing out and it solves it. I am wanting buy a new in the near future. Your vid really helped me out on upgrades

@WhiskeyChaser Жыл бұрын

I didn't have a wobble really when I got it, but when I put the higher bars on it started happening a tiny bit. I added the hard metal bushings and it helped a lot. Also it really only happened at about 35mph and when I took both hands off the bars, which I rarely do. But I've heard every Bolt is different

@WhiskeyChaser Жыл бұрын

The rear of the seat was "ok" but the front sucked. I'm so happy with this seat, I got one for my Dyna now as well and likely will for every bike I ever own. It's 100% the best upgrade for any cruiser style out there

Nice video, How is your shifting?, I find my 2020 Bolt difficult (sticky) when shifting up...it's annoying. I don't know if something's wrong or if it's a part of the bike (which I've heard it's an inherent issue...)

@WhiskeyChaser 2 жыл бұрын

Not terrible but yeah its clunky. The thing is that when you're looking at the smallet street bikes you just gotta deal with it. Every sporty I've been on is the same way, even Parkers 21 heritage has a rough shifting issue. Just gotta be real direct with it
