Good video, always nice to see a creative, inexpensive mod like this. I have a '23 V7 Special Edition, and from what I've seen on YT, even the Arrow mufflers are too quiet. So I had the dealer install a set of Agostini full-length reverse cone mufflers with the dB killers removed, and they sound fantastic. 'Course they weren't cheap, but now the bike sounds like a Guzzi should. The good thing about the Ago mufflers is they don't have cats in them, like several other aftermarket mufflers do (i.e. Mistral). The way the OEM mufflers have those tiny exhaust tips is ridiculous, but I imagine we have the Euro5 and previous regulations to thank for that.

At that speed, you could do those wide turns one handed while looking behind you... Riding for 20+ years.. there is no reason to exaggerate the lean like that. Low or High Speed.
@thebritonabike 15 күн бұрын
By correcting her body position while cornering she is actually reducing the lean angle of the motorcycle. More lean = more risk. By getting her upper body off the side of the bike more and leaning into the inside the bike will remain more upright and the suspension will work better. By rotating your shoulders more the turn will be smother and you are less likely to run wide. Remember this is beginning level coaching for new riders, and i am building confidence in cornering by teaching correct body position, proper aiming and head turns , etc etc…. the speed of the practice session ie. 15-20mph in 2nd gear allows the student to focus on correct technique at an easily manageable speed. once they have good technique then the cornering speeds increase. I wish you continued safe riding.

@thebritonabike 15 күн бұрын
when you tighten spokes you don’t usually have to remove the tire ! but if you have a broken spoke that needs replacement then yes you would need to use a sharp blade and cut a tiny piece of the sealant out to access the head of the spoke. Then add a blob of sealant after the spoke repair. I wish you continued safe riding.

Are you a professional motorcycle instructor ? If you were you wouldn't have written this comment. Yes I am well aware that you can counter steer a bike at under 15mph - but for newbie riders (like those I was teaching) they learn the technique better at speeds at or above 15mph. Counter Balance and control are the most important for low speed turning. I suggest you read this book by Lee Parks. 'TOTAL CONTROL street riding techniques' and be a bit better informed.

If I ever have to remove the stem I would need to cut around the 3M sealant. This would not affect the sealant around the spoke heads. I have NEVER had to replace an actual stem - just the internal shradder valve. But my decision to add a little extra 3M sealant around the valve stem seal was just for an added seal and layer of protection against leaks. So far so good and no leaks - in a year + of riding on them. I wish you continued safe riding.

@@ryanfoley2198 They are amazing machines! Best advice I can give you is for YOU to get off of the side of the bike more as you corner - that will reduce the necessary lean angle required, keeping the bike more upright and reduce the peg scraping. More lean = More risk. You'll actually carry more speed through the corners and have faster lap times. We are limited in lean angle simply by the size and design of these huge sport touring bikes - it is what it is .. because it is ! For extreme lean angles at the track I use my 2016 Yamaha R6. Ride safely !

But, when you adjust the spokes, doesn't that break the seal?????
@thebritonabike 2 ай бұрын
It's possible - but realistically how often have you adjusted your spokes ? Spoke adjustment involves tightening the spoke nuts on the outside of the rim. The spoke head on the inside of the rim is locked in place and shouldn't turn or spin as long as it isn't damaged... thus the sealant on top of that inner spoke head remains in place. But like I said I suppose you could break the sealant if the spoke breaks or your rim is so badly out of round that serious adjustment is required .... if anything the sealant will hold your flat spoke heads in place even better . I wish you continued safe riding.

Measurements of noise levels require a much more elaborate method. Just holding the "meter" by hand in random location and measuring with no engine load is not better than just using hear...dB killers should not be an option for any serious exhaust maker. If the exhaust can't be efficient AND silent enough at the same time, then it's just unfair to give the user the choice of efficient OR silent enough. My Yoshimura has no optional dB killer and reach a good balance of Performance and Sound level. It would be even nicer if changing the packing was easier...but it's another story
@thebritonabike 2 ай бұрын
I agree completely BUT this experiment was simply to see if a cheap and available sound baffle / db killer insert made any difference to the overall sound of my exhaust. And if it does change the sound by how much ? I am sure that if you wanted to further reduce the sound on your Yoshi exhaust you could find a similar suitable insert and rivet it or screw it in place. My Suzuki GSF Bandit 1250cc has a Yoshi exhaust and I love the sound it makes .... like you say a good balance of performance and noise .... although increased performance for any 'slip on' mufflers is a highly unlikely as many dyno tests have proven. I wish you continued safe riding !
