Literally about to buy a bolt and ur videos are amazing

Hi Tardy, the bike shop just changed the OEM steering head bearing for an Allball pin. Still have the deadwobble. Before the replacement the handlebar shakes in range of 70-80 and after mounted the Allball pin it shakes in the range of 85-95 (I guess). Did not try it a lot of times for my safety. I think there are a lot of reasons why bikes have a deadwobble. I’ve readed: tires, tire pressure, fork mounted out of ballance, bar end weight, using a t-bar (the higher rising the more wobble), construction of the bike etc. My next step is bar end weights.

I've never had the death wobble on mine. But, I did have the tires changed to some high end Metzelers. Love the content and I pretty much agree with everything you said. However, I changed out my exhaust with a Cobra slip on and intake. Had to get an ECU to map the fuel. Other than that, love the bolt. If I can figure out how to get a sixth gear on it I will recommend that too.

Weird, you published this just about the same time I searched "yamaha bolt mods". Good stuff, but don't forget - if you replace your intake and exhaust, a tune is in order.

What brand of steering bearing would be the best choice for the bolt? (mine is a 2015 r spec)

This video is exactly what I needed. Thankyou. I recently got a bolt. Second bike ever. First one was a 250 rebel had it for 4 months and upgraded to the bolt 💀 my only complaint is that I was able to be way more aggressive around corners with my tiny rebel. but with my bolt I literally have to turn the bars like a bicycle at stop signs and such or my foot pegs will scrape the road.

Hey Tardy, I have a V&H slip on and Saddlemen on my 14 bolt and was thinking of getting an intake for it because I agree. The loaf of bread is bothering me by it's looks and it gets in the way of my leg. Would I need to run a power commander for it? Or can I just run Ivan's tune? Great video man keep it up!

Their stock seat amazingly comfortable and low low, I loves it

Hey, do you suggest changing the head steering barren on the 2020 R-Spec as well. Not sure what year model you were referring to, or do current models need same mod

Has peg kit to ,move pegs forward 6-9". Has tpms, temps, quick shifter, cruise controll?? . Like most other, that are cheaper ?

What shocks did you put on? I heard anything above 1 increase messes with tension on belt

Koso replacement speedo. It's 'plug and play', and gives you half a chance to read it in anything brighter than twilight. Also keeps the mileage correct.

Saving this

Bought a bolt 2 weeks ago and got the bassani sweeper exhaust. It sounds amazing but before you buy, consider the fact that its REALLY loud.

Does the v star 95o have the same steering bearing issue? I have exhaust, air filter and EJK 5:08 controller, and runs so much better. But it does need a sixth gear!

When you changed the exhaust and air intake, do you have to tune it after? Thanks!

What shocks did you go with? I want to lift 3 or 4 inches

Would it be difficult to add forward control to the bolt. I'm 6'1" and I heard mint control will be uncomfortable.

Personally I dont mind the seat the main thing to change is definitely the airbox

When I buy mine I'm gonna mix this build with the black and gold one blockhead built. I'm gonna do army green tho

Can you still use the original seat if u remove the back fender?

What size are those risers you put

Any suggestions for the C-Spec?

appreciate paperwork

how did you break your foot?

Hate the bolt-wobble...as well as the loaf of bread and anti-aircraft gun that for some reason came w the bike...though I was lucky to have it come w the saddleman seat..it's a nice little gem that keeps my carcass firmly placed over, not behind, the bike at all times

We did the Bassani pipes VH intake and sent the computer to Ivans. Let me tell ya the computer revamp is extremely important. With out the computer upgrade everything else is pointless.

Subscribes count says it all let alone the mustard mustache

No go in California. My dealership cant even get the parts. Ebay, nope. Restrictions. I drilled out baffle in exhaust and holes in air intake. If you know how to smuggle in parts to california let me know. Oh, and the tickets. Yea. Talk about that.

You forgot #6: me sitting in front of you like Kim Kardashian

Guy almost pulled off a full 360

The exhaust looks bad coz those Walmart glasses you got on. Take them off and you will fall in love with it all over again.

ive had no problems with death wobble tbh

Damn that bike wobble has me Shook

Rear 65 teeth pulley and 140 teeth belt🤌

Tip for wheeling it

Many cruisers have great seats. Not yanaha/ honda

For what you did to the poor bike at 2:50; I am not sure I want to follow your lead comrade anymore ....

Why seats so expensive smh

You remind me of some guest character from Miami Vice and Tubbs and Crocket arrest you in tandem. Stop using coke.

You're full of it.
