"Weight reduction is a great idea, and there's a better place to do it than the motorcycle." Haha, cracked me up. Shumi as always, with the facts.

Shumi's words are pure wisdom

This video exist : People in Delhi and Karol Bagh : I get offended upto my soul badly 😂😂😂

Shumi can talk about motorcycles for 40 minutes, and I will continue to listen even though i dont own a motorcycle

Apart from their passion and knowledge of automobiles, what makes PD stand out is that whenever they speak it feels like a conversation rather than just a bland and boring commentary.

Wow.. This is what a professional advice.. When the experienced and matured rider speak, there would be some change in the people's mind for sure.. Very very useful video❤️

We want holy shift episodes please we are missing them

I can listen to Shumi Sir talking anything about bikes all day long.

Please! More of these! Beautiful talk, Shumi. Thank you so much. I've shared it to all my riding buddies.

I don't even have a bike but damn i like him and he's just made my mind up to get one.

The 50 times full tank stats was really great.. I have personally experienced the same - the more you get to ride , the better you get to be by understanding yourself - well explained.. ✌️

Every second is worth listening. Pure wisdom, perfection and precision in talking... This is the legend Shumi...

Wow.. Don't remember the last time a video so well researched, informative and practical was created for bikers. This is platinum quality of information. Well done guys.

I must say this has opened my eyes and the way we used to think about out motorcycles. Thank you shumi for this amazing video🤩🤩

Automatic Headlights on new scooters/bikes need to be focused a bit low on road by manufacturers themselves. Moth effect is really fatal.

What a great in-depth knowledge you give to understand about a modifications wow it's a next level I don't see such a great explanations given by MCN even.

"Weight reduction is a great idea, and there's a better place to do it than the motorcycle." 😂 Though it's not relevant to motorcycles, would you be kind enough to share you weight reduction plan? Feel highly motivated when you said that you never hit the gym!

Thanks Shumi! It was an awesome video to watch! I'm building a 150cc project bike for my dad, the video really helped, learnt a lot out of it... Lots of Love from Thane, Maharashtra...

You guys at powerdrift should seriously consider making similar podcasts for cars as well. 🙏🙏

This has been by far the most sensible and informative content ive seen in PD. Its not that you dont know all these stuffs but this episode has made made me rethink and rediscover my ideas or logic abt motorcycling. Great job PD and thnx Shumi for the no nonsense approach. Keep up the good work guys!!!!

Thank you so much for this video. I really needed it. I was conditioned to believe that modifications are a must.

Shumi is the motorcycling mentor I never had✌🏼😆 Thank heaven I found Power Drift👊🏽

One of the best videos and must for every motorcyclist who feels that modification is a must.

Very first video in my life I’ve watched without skipping.

All points covered 🙌, And yes I did a aux light mod, but i only use it during foggy 4-5 am morning rides or during monsoon off-roading. And the next mod i will be doing is changing the rear sproket for a little bit higher stabilised cruising speed on highway.

Hi team, you just spoke what I used to think about modifications. Amazing. Could you please make a video on how engine modifications work on carburettor and regular KTM engines.most of them just say modifications but no one knows how it is upgraded and how it improves the power

Thanks Shumi... Your lessons are a great help everytime...makes a lot of sense and corrects many!! Thank you again!

Schumi thank you for the great video, if you can give a visual reference to what specific point you are saying eg nylon cables it will be much appreciated

Lets keep enrolling at driving school aside. Just listen to Shumi and the way we think about bikes and driving them improves a lot.

This is The Most Useful video for every single rider out there irrespective of a the expertise level of anybody riding a motorcycle. Good job👍

I can sit here, watch shumi talk about motorcycles for hours. Amazing

Shumi, you are the awesomely wise (beardless) sage of Motorcycling. Thanks for sharing your passion and wisdom with us. I agree with you completely, I always like to do functional mods to the bike, after a long ride, if something on my bike constantly takes my attention off from the ride, I will usually adjust or mod it. Usually it is something small, but after it is done it increases the Joy of riding. I had not thought about Sprockets on increasing bike mileage along with performance. Please make a video if you do get a chance (or share a few links on this), as increasing tank range without too much sacrifice on performance adds to the joy of the ride as well.

Shumi's motorcycle school.. the series I'm waiting for.. with riding, maintenance mods, and advise from the Shumi himself...🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Beautifully done! Practical and fantastic inputs - pure wisdom. I guess we all should coin this - Shumi-dom ;)

Thank you for the info Sensei Shoomi,as of now I don't own any motorcycle. But I surely will do. And podcasts like these are very much knowledgeable for me. Great Podcast.

what do you think about putting an after market intake to a lower end motorcycle (150-400cc)

I want this guy/episode on radio.(while driving)

Very well addressed the quirks/issues. Thank you making such a great video.

Love you man!!! Thanks for sharing so much of knowledge, this helps a lot of people like me who have just upgraded into new segment of bike and are confused seeing modifying the bikes

Wise words. Thank you so much. Really an eye opener for most of the people planning to modify bikes when straight out of the showrooms.

Reminds me of a famous KZfaqr who upgraded to performance ECU in his Ninja H2 😅

Hahaha "eehhhh that idiot". Emotion captured rightly.

It's very difficult to find such beautiful analysis on such complex topics and I really appreciate the PD team and specially @shumar for creating these videos.

Using a modest commuter the hero HUNK for almost a decade now without any modifications but loving it as is❤️

Best place to start for weight reduction: The rider

Shumi has abundance of knowledge on biking. This video has the best practical advice one can get on biking and related spends. Shumi should write a book consolidating all his thoughts for all new bikers to start their biking journey... good stuff

Thanks for sharing your opinion 🤗 I never tried to modify my bike

Very interesting and logical explanation.. reminds me of a few folks who modifies their bikes like competition 😀

A much needed mature talk for all the enthusiasts.

A very well elaborated points. I really appreciate you bought it up thanks a ton.

This is the best school about bikes. Thanks shumi👍

As always, mature man talks about the things kids needs to understand! Shumi, i love you brother!!!

Very very useful advice given by a matured rider beautifully. I hope more people tastefully modify their motorcycles while keeping them legal

The most sensible video on KZfaq regarding bikes 👍🏻

The JT steel front sprocket, with rubber bushings, that I replaced on my street triple 765 rs, costed 1600₹, at stock 525 pitch.

What you think about modification of exhaust with an aftermarket one, which could help to shed some weight as well as get a better sounding machine.

Superb Shumi! Thanks a lot for the insight. Please keep the content rolling. Cheers

Thanks @Shumi for bringing that point up..Fitness is the key.. Fitness should be the Mantra of every rider..🙏

Thank you PD Team for this video

Came late but stayed for the paragon of wisdom. Thanks Shumi for your insights. Its been really helpful. Keep up the good work. :)

All I can say is ' wow'!.. Best ever orator who can talk on and on logically and sense on motorcycling and riding....

That's what called a genuine discussion about motorcycles....sir after listening to many , I really love your advice.

When is it advised to change the sprocket. Should it be done early or in the later stages of a bike. I would also need some suggestions regarding sprocket change on my honda cb350rs.

Lots of wisdom dropped. Thank you. Got a question Can sprockets be used to increase the low end torque of the motorcycles ? For there are stalling issues in motorcycles especially with a luggage on touring ?

Very very valuable information Thanks a ton Shumi

Very needed discussion. A lot of people modify bikes just for the sake of it. Without realising if they really need that.

We want holy shift epsods please

This is what maturity and experience sounds like...thanks for the topic

Wow! I was like a sponge soaking all this words of wisdom 😇. Many many Thanks Schumi!!! Loved the focus on ride and rider both 👌👌

I'm impressed by your knowledge and by the way of educating viewers👍

I love the podcasts that are done in this channel. I saw both episodes of buying an used superbike I might not buy one anywhere soon but it helped me share the knowledge I gained with those who are willing to buy. I must say this that I'm getting a huge amount of information through this podcast episodes and I would like to see 🤔🤔or hear 😂😂 more such episodes. Thank you

PD'S topic selection & presentation makes them unique!! Proud to be an PD army❤️

Is it advisable to use sprocket on a quater liter bike and just use it in city ???🤔🤔🤔

*listening eyes closed* - thanks for the wisdom _/\_ ! Hope this does make a difference to our 'loud' only riders and they think beyond that. Thanks and Cheers !!

Awesome Shumi✌️ 2 new topics for you for vdos- 1. Ur Duke mods 2- Ur fitness mantras Excellent info as usual Keep posting Cheers 🥂

18:42 Ok Shumi, I get it. I need to hit the gym.

Weekend & Shumi's meaningful Podcasts 🔥

Wise words! I've been running on a sprocket with lesser teeth at the back for 2+ years and it had a significant role to play, I get more range and the power delivery is better and smooth. I'm planning to get auxiliary lights with filter caps for the reason that was mentioned. Got a handlebar riser because I needed one for comfort and the seat is still stock but I have an air cushion now for very long rides (700+). Never felt the need for an exhaust or anything else and I still do great :) Thank you Shumi for this, it was needed!

As per law the bike exhaust must not sound above +80db (please correct me if I am wrong). So at what RPM the Decibels are tested?

You guys continue to do great work with this podcast. So much knowledge 👍🏼

Hey Shumi! Will there be a podcast episode about how the everyday rider can improve his/her skills? Something on the lines of your "Better Riding" series of articles?

could you provide the links to the nylon strings for luggage you were talking about (the good ones) ?

Hey those are some great great suggestions!!!! Any idea to improve the power of my daily commute bike. Honda shine sp 125.. wanna increase the power from 11 to 15 bhp.. with little more torque

Hey Shumi, your words are wisdom and you talk reality with facts. Please help me out with some motorcycles list to buy. I am 5.2ft and weighs around 60kg. Currently riding the 1st gen FZ150 and looking for a bigger engine.

Awesome video but I had some doubts. You're saying at the top of the line exhausts and power upgrades are a waste which I can agree too. But what if we were at the bottom end of the spectrum. I completely believe what you said about the exhaust, and currently owning a NS200 I'm not even looking at exhaust. But I see my future self someday owning a Daytona in which case I would put an exhaust. I don't mind if the exhaust even loses power as long as it sounds good. I firmly believe riding experience is also affected by the sound of the car/motorcycle. What would your thoughts be on this? Also as I said I own a NS200. I was actually thinking of extracting more power out of it by maybe adding an ECU and a new Air filter. Would that be useful in my case.

I'm just surprised that this podcast has just 35k views. Always enjoy Sumi's podcasts. Another great video.

Sir, you are a great teacher, make more videos to improve our biking culture.

When I look my friends bikes I always inspires to modify my bike as they did but after few time I think I can spend those money on fuel rather then those fancy stuff which aren't usefull much for me they just improve the looks that's it.

i somehow like podcasts so much. Shumi, you give such good explanation.

Its a great podcast and absolutely professional advice! Thank you and keep coming with more such videos. :) I have a duke 390, 2016 and clocked around 50k on it. I am not very happy with the breaks especially the front ones which are the most imp for me with the stock organic pads. I tried to adress it by changing pads to a ceramic and sintered ones and the adjustable levers from the new 390. The sintered pads offer much improved initial bite but it sometimes is too much for a Pirelli rosso 2 to handle. One advice i got was to change the rear pads to sintered and use rear break a bit more than what i usually use so that abs wont kick in. Recently I came across this racing boy radial master cylinder. From what I know, it will not improve the breaking as such but the feeling and the feedback will be improved significantly. Whats your thought on it @Shumar? thanks in advance

I LOVE THIS. My Fav show on PD.

My dad did all the upgrades on his ninja 650 except the exhaust.race clip ons,Pirelli Diablo tyres,race fairings.upgraded suspension

What do you think about tail tidy and bar end mirrors?

Thank you SHUMI for this video. Many of us bike enthusiasts just look up to you and try to learn many things starting from riding gears to bikes and touring and many things... Really looking forward to learn many more things from the whole team of PD. One thing that very few people mention about is the effort from the team specifically the kind of cinematography we see in the videos on PD is just next level and something that makes me watch the whole without skipping. So credit goes to the creative team as well that we all love the PD channel. 🤟🏼✌🏼✌🏼🤟🏼

Class act ! Valuable practical advice 👍🏻

thanks, helpful stuff

I am a product designer myself, and because of that, I know how much thought and work goes into designing any part of a vehicle. In six years, I have upgraded my tyres for a stickier set and gotten myself a mobile stand, so that i can read the directions on a mobile screen. My first thought about any modification is: "Whoever designed/manufactured this component, does he know better than me? Yes. Then I should stop fiddling with it" Thank you for enforcing my beliefs.

This was a video I watched without skipping. Thank you Mr. SHUMI

Shumi bhai as allways very informative Podcast. But you forgot to mention, may be just 5-10% people think about performance while modifying their exhausts... The rest just wanted to do it for boomboom n attention😀😀
