My Dad always taught me to learn a new car in an empty parking lot, learn its acceleration, stopping power and turning ability. Really smart way to start.

Hey Loy, what did you sue the capture the audio when you run out to the bike? That sound of the V&H is like music to my ears. I just got my 15' Stryker Bullet and debating on either the Cobra slip on or the full twin stag like yours.

Hey so I picked up a basically Brand new 2016 Yamaha stryker and I love it. I'm upgrading the stock exhaust with a Vanes and Hines Twin Slash Starraged Exhaust. I was wondering if I need a tune or something after installing the exhaust and if I do, what do I need. I need this done asap, because there's a big ride happening in my city and I need to be there with my bike, I'm their main photographer. I'm in canada BC by the way. Thanks.

@Loyventures 3 ай бұрын

Look into Ivan's Flash. If you are going to open the airflow, the bike starts to run a smidge lean, pops hard on decel and get a little herky jerky on the throttle due to the power it makes and the fuel cut on decel; his reflash will take care of all of that and make the bike what it is supposed to be.

I'm 5'7". Lowered the bike 2.25 inch and added a Z1r standard 1 up seat to get me a smidge closer to the bars. But even with the stock setup, there was not an issue reaching the controls; I just wanted to sort out my rider triangle.

I'm 5 4 with same green stryker. Put mini boards and constantly scrape probably because I'm coming from a sport bike. Not sure why someone taller than myself would want to lower the bike to limit its capabilities. I'm at the very balls of my feet but dnt feel the need to lower it. Rear suspension travel and lean angle are already mediocre. Might as well got a trike if u wanted to stay upright lol

I have a 2014 Stryker. It was my first bike. After 2 weeks of riding it, I ripped out the air box and installed a hyper charger. I have a two in one cobra exhausted. 1 gear is about 50 mph and 120 is 4th gear. I have a few other things I'm going to do to it. Honestly mine doesn't really get that hot.

@@Loyventures I was riding today and looking at my Stryker I realized something that can really help you out. There is a kit for the rear tire that lowers the bike about two inches. That can help out in addition to the aftermarket seat you plan on getting. There is a company called mean and low that sells the kit.

Lol it was. 2007 SE, six speed manual and the red leather. It got totaled about three years ago when I was rear ended at 70 mph; the hit from the guy (too busy drinking his coffee to notice traffic stopped) crumpled the rear frame. I'm in a 2012 Mini Coupe S these days (the Turbo hard top roadster) When I'm not on the Stryker. Man, that reminds me, I gotta update my intro.

It's a z1r solo seat, made by parts unlimited. If you need it even shorter, they make a low profile version; so does low and mean customs. I'll be doing a video on the seat and the slam kit after I get the month of july craziness video thing out :-P
