If I crash with a bike the pipe is the least of my worries.

Man your page is so informative man. You have a great way of expressing what riders need and why... I subbed immediately but the more I watch the more I like your channel..... And your Aprilia is savage man

Hey man, love your videos and your advises on riding. upgrades and everything in between. Keep it up!

I love the daily content! keep up the good work! you will never run out of content with motorcycles!

Tires, fender delete, sliders, and a good exhaust system are always the first goodies I add as un upgrade 🤘🏻

Love that you're putting out vids everyday.

Proper advice from someone experienced. Good man! Loved this vid

ive been riding streetbikes for over 33 years now and have more than a few different bikes. my current ride is a 2019 zx14r with a few tasteful mods. zero gravity touring windshield, 1" bar risers, billet levers, cruise control, roaring toyz lowering links, adjustable center stand, adjustable kickstand, tail tidy tag bracket, EBC HH brake pads front and rear, K&N air filter, Delkevic 18" oval slip-ons (also have 9" ovals), Moore Maifia tuned ecu. at 52 i see me riding for alot longer.

Yeah those air filters require maintenance most people are not willing to do. I'm glad you brought that up. Seems like a lot of youtubers go filter just for content.

tbh, i love and enjoy watching your videos! if its not you explaining it, im not watching it. love your content bro

A "must do" mod': Paddock stand swingarm spools, and a Pit Bull Paddock Stand. (Pit Bull stands are the most robust/long lasting. They've never let me down!) These are essential for chain, tire, and brake maintenance, as well as cleaning and bike storage. Cheers, keep doing what you do 😁👍‼

Wow! Love your videos. Thank you!

this is a good vid with alot of info thankyou keep them coming

The frame slider thing also depends a lot on the crash, if you lay her down in a parking lot the frame sliders will save your fearings (that's what I usually thought of when thinking about frame sliders) but in a high speed crash it could be more beneficial for the fearings to absorb the impact instead of frame sliders directly giving it to the frame (as you mentioned).

Hey so I just got my first bike and it’s a 09 Ninja 250r I’m glad I found this channel. You’ve really help me a lot as a beginner so I just wanted to stop by and say thank you for the kind of content that you do.

This is super basic, but some take it as granted. I love this type of content, keep it up!

Great info and I second everything you said. In Cali you want that smoke windscreen cause after bike night you don't want the dark windscreen. Just dial the suspension in if your a street/ track guy.

I appreciate how you are sharing what you know versus trying to sell people on stuff they don't need.

This is the first real video i watched from this man, everything else was just shorts i ran into occasionally. I just have to say that i like the slow pace he has when giving out his advice, he is talking to the viewer as someone would in a real conversation between ordinary people not as some flashy youtuber screaming in the camera trying too hard to be interesting. 10/10

Many good points you have mention here, very good video :)

hi, just got myself a 2019 R3 (1st bike) and i'm loving it ! I was thinking about putting frame sliders and changing the break and clutch levers. Thanks for all your videos, I really appreciate all the advices that you share and I wish everyone a great ride !

I’ve got a tip for the frame sliders. Take a look at the bolts that are used! Go for some bolts that can break off quite easily, this way in a slide the sliders can do it’s job and if it gets caught on something it will simply break off instead of cracking the frame. Crashed my bike twice so far, one time with a low sider and once a highsider. The frame slider saved my expensive exhaust and some plastics. With my other crash the framslider got caught and broke off and ruined some plastics but luckily not the frame!

Years ago they tested 10 airfilters on a tuned supra. So it needed air... There was only 1 filter that performed better than stock without letting more filth in, it was the apexi. All the rest made really minor hp inprovements or even hp loss while filtering was worse. The oem filters are really good

You give quality content. Straight facts

Hi adobo moto,i always enjoy your videos,learned a lot from it,maraming salamat! Regards from the Philippines!

excellent advice and perfect length video

Another great video.. thanks

I will never run race fuel. And I just gotta say this is a great video and I absolutely agree with you on all of this. And thank you for talking about those bar end mirrors. I'm gonna order some and I wasn't sure what ones to get. So thank you. Great video. Thanks again

Great video brother!

Love the contents and tiktoks vids man

Used to rock the 15$ bar ends on my previous bike, ass quality but did the trick😇 definitly getting the crg ones now, did'nt know about them so thank you🏍 love your content 😎

There's some really good lesser-known tips in here - thanks!

Great Video , insightful ✨

Like the content and sharing some tips. -Fan from philippines

Great advice 👍

Great points I never thought about using my race filter on the street all the time. Definitely agree on frame sliders depending on the bike & frame

That first fact about the Muffler protecting the bike. My 2020 Ninja 400 was dropped doing 100km/h (62 Mp/h) and Adobo's comment Couldn't be more true. It took literally the entire impact and snapped my Muffler bracket and absolutely obliterated my muffler, scratched my ferring a little bit but the rest was absolutely fine and nothing but the muffler needed changing.

thanks for sharing your knowledge, and not throwing your emotions and opinions into it. :)

Instantly recognized the pic at 2:06 as Bangkok somewhere under the sky train. Will never forget seeing traffic there. Absolute chaos with scooters and bikes lane splitting everything from 6am to 2am 😂

Your jacket is dope man!

I just subbed im going for my permit this tuesday hopefully bike life is welcoming rider wise

sliders will save a heap of damage from the bike being knocked over in a car park or stationary dropped which is probably more common than higher speed crashes. I've personally had a bike knocked over and the R&G sliders saved me a heap of fairing damage, the only damage from the bike falling on its side was the slider (which was just rashed, still good to use) and the brake pedal.

Great video, couple points; Bar ends are just as useless. We only put those on to be legal, Vibrations are the issue. Even a smoother 4 banger vibrates enough that unless you're putting around at 2k rpm, theyre useless you shoulder check on the road anyway, especially on a bike so you really don't need mirrors unless you wanna wilfully neglect those red and blues. Double bubble; Unless you're full tuck it's worse. the wind is directed into your face with a double bubble. If you're only racing it or making quick canyon runs sure go for it, double bubble on the highway is awful unless you have a very short torso.

Love your vids! Can we see some more picture's while you describe things?

The thing about race Fuel is you also lose power unless your bike is tuned properly for the high octane fuel

you really are very knowledgeable.

I was chatting with a race/parts shop owner on a KTM forum and they said the main thing with sliders is where they are mounted. If they use the engine mounts they will be good, but if they don't there's a much higher chance of you bending/damaging the frame.

Good common sense... Thanks bro 2018 RSV4 RF LE

In case of frame sliders i would prefer something that has multiple mounting points than one that has single bolt to hold on to frame. I am not expert or any but that's what i think.

Very informative dobobobo

I've had a 2007 R1 since new...and for a few months now, I've been doing some in depth maintenance of it. I'd fitted the bike with a Yoshimura stainless 3/4 system...that's the dual, tri-oval mufflers and Y-pipe...about 12 years ago. I've had the whole system off recently to replace the header bolts, clean it, etc....and, interestingly, the headers are titanium, too. I cleaned and weighed them( no corrosion at all ), and they were only 1.33kg. The exhaust manifold...the section that holds the EXUP valve...appears to be the same metal as well. There's nothing in the workshop or owners manuals about what metals were used( only that the stock mufflers were titanium skinned ), but, Yamaha didn't go cheap on the stock exhaust back then.

Good info!

Great video

CRG makes quality stuff. But a lot of people buy their bar ends instead of rizoma thinking CRG is cheaper but they don't realize you have to buy a separate bar end cap that's grooved for a CRG bar end. Rizoma's equivalent to the lane splitter comes with/are already built into the end cap.

The high flow air filter is defo a bad choice if you like keeping your bike for a long time, high flow filters are really ment for racing where the engine gets rebuilt anyway

On the BMW S1000RR you don’t need to empty your tank to run MR2. They are the only one that got the memo.

The thing that I definitely wouldn't wanna miss on any bike are heated grips - it's such a game changer. Got a Set of Daytona grips on my CB650R and I can ride that thing down to negative 5 C. On highest setting those things probably blast off enough heat to make a decent cup of coffee xD

Very well said

I crashed my bike at the track doing about 170km/h. My frame sliders saved the bike, only had to replace my back brake pedal and a bar end. I on the other hand had a broken collar bone. I don't think frame sliders will work in all situations, but I use them.

you know yoir stuff; great information and I went short with Akrapovic titanium Headers. Short to me sounds better to make cars know yoir approaching

Just bought a 2019 R1 first street bike. Thank you and subb’d

Frame sliders are such a debate because crashes are so unpredictable. Long sliders are good for garage tip overs, but will send your bike for a tumble at speed. The short sliders are practically useless unless you low side with some good speed, although less likely. Or having none just means nothing to get caught on, so could be less or could be more damage. 1 thing that will save your bike are those fat exhaust haha. The ZX-6R can lay on its side without touching the plastics because of it. :P

100% on everything he says. Suspension mods transform a bike too. I have installed hyper pro street boxes on my vfr and my hayabusa. Handling is amazing and a lot better loaded or 2 up.

Learning this wants me to change my SC proj exhaust asap. 😂

I can definitely see out of my 10 dollar mirror lol just as good as my more expensive carbon fiber mirrors on my other bike. The thing with the windshields I wish I knew about the tinting before I bought my first one lol I ended up getting a light smoked one as I like to tuck in a lot, it's comfortable laying on the tank

Adobo Moto is our Motorcycle Teacher

I agree with meeting a ton of nice people. The Toronto motorcycle community is like a brother and sisterhood and it's big

I’m obnoxious so I run a shorty exhaust, I wouldn’t rely on an exhaust for crash protection when there are way better options

The comments at the end were awesome 👍🏼

So true I have a mt10 and the oem brake pads suck and I got a longer exhaust and the power is so much better

Man ! Exhausts 😳 I've just had a nightmare with an old steel framed cbr600 that I've bought as a daily rider, it had a lovely stainless set of headers on it, unfortunately it had a flat spot in the mid range,after 6 weeks of friggin about with it (I can now pull off strip and rebuild the carbs in my sleep) it turns out the aftermarket headers did not have balance pipes between 1&2 and 3&4 , back pressure resonance waves and all kind of Voodoo stuff , got some oe headers and Bingo ! Flat spot gone

woodcraft Frame sliders are one dof the best and looks amazing

I have the CRT system for my rs660....it's a bit loud. Like possibly too loud for the track. I might convert it over to a SCR-1

Hey bro, nice video. Can you recommend me a good exhaust for my bike? I'm trying to buy the Aprilia RS660 I like a good sound like more aggressive. I live in London

Good video and good tips! Not sure why there are goons saying otherwise, shows their knowledge/experience with bikes LOL

Larger rear sprocket, velocity stacks, and tank pads are quick and cheap upgrades.

Brake pads and suspension ghat the issue but after I watched this video, thank you bro for explaining and not being toxicated person 🤣🤣🤣 you know what I mean... Use as it is not to waste your money on things that you can't afford instead you need to check up or do the service... Love you bro😁🤣

i think the only people that really need frame sliders are stunters in which case your probably gonna have a full frame skeletal type frame slide which obviously has more connection points and much more rigidity meaning its less likely to damage the frame but they are quite bulks

I've heard you want frame sliders that are a lot seeker than your frame so they help with the slide but break if you got something to avoid bending the frame 🤷

The Moto gadget bar end mirrors are high polished metal…I think aluminum but I can’t remember. But I watched a video of them making there mirrors and they are amazing. I have a set and they are strong and high end.

I do have a question, can you do a educational video regarding fast throttle/ quick throttle?

ngl i kinda wish i got frame sliders when i first got my bike only because my fairings have seen better days. lost traction in a turn and had a lowside and now the whole left side of my bike is scratched up. thankfully i know a guy who has a spray booth so i can always fix and refinish them lmao

Any advice on winter, spring, fall, summer air in tires when to change it.

It also depends on the design of frame slider some are just not made for Taking hard impact

I have seen a lot of people with cracked frame from installing frame slider so I would say to just let the farings absorb the damage instead of transferring it to the frame.

6:40 Indeed. I have always stopped to check on riders who were either stranded on the shoulder or have gone down in an accident regardless of the style of bike. We have to look out for each other. 👊

AWESOME ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Just picked up a 2009 r1 with a graves shorty. Ngl it sounds cool and spits flames but i want the dual exhaust. Is toce any good? They look sick

Recently picked up a 2015 fz09. Brakes don’t feel too great and I thought it was just in my head. Has about 9k on it so gonna say those are the stock pads being dog shit. Glad you enlightened me.

I just purchased a Spark Grid-O full system titanium exhaust for my 2020 yamaha r6. What are your thoughts on spark?

I have a question I'm new at riding if a buy a bike and it's alittle too aggressive stance is there a way to adjust the handle bars to help make it more comfortable? I do kinda have short arms lol

Instead of frame sliders is the engine covers the ones from the race bikes, pvc ones, GB RACING are my favourite, saved my road and track bike in crashes.

It makes sense not to upgrade to a sport filter also if you’re not gonna install a full exhaust and you just go with a slip on otherwise you would have no restriction going out but a lot of restriction coming in which in the end it’s useless to remap at that point..

Actually getting my very first bike, hopefully, tomorrow. 2023 Z400. I only plan on keeping it for a couple of years while I get skills and confidence riding around on it. I'm in WI so it won't be a year round thing. The only real Mods I plan on doing are a TST integrated sequential tail light in smoke, TST elite adjustable fender eliminator, Adjustable levers (haven't decided on brand yet, not cheapos tho), spools for stands, and New Rage Cycles z900 front turn signals.

As a composite engineer I can tell you that yes a carbon exhaust will degrade faster then titanium. But it will definitely be lighter. Good video though :)

Finally, someone talked about the downside of the high flow rate filter!

As a Yamaha R15 owner. I agree with the shitty brake pads. Changed them at the first instance.

Very nice points Meanwhile in PH they are still debating about unleaded(lower octane) VS premium(also unleaded higher octane). With 110cc engines 🤣🤣🤣

Short pipe when racing, track, worked for me. Because I was able to hear my bike over the others, especially in groups. I would recommend NO FRAME SLIDERS FOR TRACK DAYS. They dig into the dirt off track, and YARD SALE!!!!! 😮😮
