I own a vstar 1100 and has been a pain in my ass. I mean cleaned carbs about 20 times to get running, then starter clutch went out. Now backfires like a sun of a gun. I finally said screw it and rejetted the carbs added a better exhaust and uni air filters and runs a lot better, only thing is that it still backfires

I want to know for a faster bike (honda vtx 1300) if you're trying to get more speed out the bike, is there a aftermarket drive shaft or is honda stock good enough even if I increase the hp?

whats the best beginners bike for taller riders? Im 6ft2

The V Star 1100 uses the old Virago 1100.

appologizing? who are you michael jackson?

This is a question so when I take it apart nothing should fall out it

Thanks a lot for this review. In few days, I am buying used C50 as my first "big" bike here in Belarus (previously imported from US), and some of your comments are really helpful!

I know this is an older video, but why did you keep saying they were all air/oil cooled? That changed in 2013. Kind of an important detail to miss.

Yes I need directions on dealership selling motorcycles please my name is Brian

ONLY thing about used FJR's is that the ones I've looked at had seriously bad maintenance. Ungreased drive shaft, incorrectly bleed ABS brake fluids, never changes coolant, never changed air filter or spark plugs, no throttle sync ever done, leaky front fork seals.

I liked your honest review. Pros: Beautiful looking bike. Great power train. Cons: Uncomfortable seat. Brakes are better suited for kind of off road, lacking for street riding. 545 pounds....way too heavy for off road. ' Needs a tad bigger fuel tank. Having to fill up before you go empty....fill around 120 miles. The more I looked at the bike, the more I wanted one. Sitting on the bike changed my mind in a hurry. There's a good reason they only made it one year. Barry

I have a Kawasaki z500se and a rebel 500 to decide from sat on both just hard decision

How about for a first time rider, man in his 40's, that wants to go off road into trails and what not? I won't be blasting down any tracks or anything like that. Would you still recommended a smaller dirt bike or less powerful one or an ATV? Thanks for the video.

Power Commander made my bike stall (stop)... repair firm removed it and bike runs as it should.

I've had my 12 years great bike

hello im a 6'7 what do you think about an h2 for me?

Fax me and my brother and sisters got a honda rancher i love it but i hate it it wants to flip often and the road we go on is pretty bumpy and curvy and i have had multiple times were i almost flipped it just cruising through a curve on multiple occasions and so has my brother there fun until it wants to flip

Got it's little brother, the S750. Up from a old cbr250r. Loving everything about it

Leg lengthening is possible now. You can lengthen your legs 4-6 inches for a fee of course. They cut the bone and splice it.

Hi Alex I have a 2001 tl1000r it had a power commander 3 in it when I got it 9 years ago it started acting up so my mechanic unplugged it now it runs rich to much fuel So what I'm asking is can you just unplug a power commander system without re tuning anything

Went to a bike shop and sat on fjr and concourse...also banshee 1250....for me the yamaha was most comfortable as Gtr was broad across the seat. . Banshee was nice also. So far fjr first, then the gtr...im a very big guy and I think I can handle either one as these pretty well....thanks for your good vid.

Im leasing a bike right now plan on returning next month

If someone came and said he wants the 1000 but is new? Personally as a rider, it’s too much power for a beginner but that’s what he wants. Do I talk him out of it “right thing” or let him get it and pray for the dude…

You need to own it before u leave your opinion.. i had 7000km in 20day on indian roads. Performance n seats r world class.. they lost fornon available l spares locally

MT07 is a horrible bike for the taller riders, otherwise its a great bike

STOP STICKING YOUR HANDS AND FINGERS IN THE VIDEO FOR FUCKS SAKE

Even Saddleman provides Custom Seating for the Bolt

Good work....tells us exacty what we need to know.

I just pick up one for 250 (definitely not mint but she’s complete) put about $150 into and now I’ve got a running sport bike

I have no credit and I’m looking forward to finance a Kawasaki ninja 400 2023 that costs around 6-7k and I have 2k in cash. Could it be possible to get that bike?

Please make a video on how to lower our bikes

Great concept...gave me a outlook on buying my first bike....where is this location cause you patient with a ftb like myself.... thanks for the information

Ever heard of autotune for PC V? that cancels out this entire video.

I take it that converting sport bikes to belt drive is not a thing so much? I don't see any videos instantly popping up on search..... Bart Simpson school of thought says I should give up

I have A LC 1500cc 1998, It is a nice bike low center of gravity cruises excellent,

i kinda like the sweater honestly

I own a 2019 now,no where near as quick as i thought it would be for a 1000cc(ive owned alot of sports bikes so probably notice down on power)and the off/on fuelling is terrible,havnt owned long so might get ECU flash to try to sort both

How about comparing the Interceptor 650 and Triumph Speed Twin 900?

If you have looked at bikes for years, you can tell about the engine size just by looking at the rear tire and exhaust 🤷‍♂️😄

Great review,,love my 2009 satisfied with the 5th gear, less then 20,000 miles paid $5,000

In all honesty, you need to be a stubborn ahole to ride a bobber. It's just the nature of things and I wouldn't want it any other way.

If you've been riding modern motorcycles, 1 ride on most any KLR will make you realize why these things are ignored. Kawasaki has smeared so much lipstick on these pigs, it cant go on for ever. 445 lbs at least, maybe 35 HP, wobble box handling, craptastic cheap suspension, minimal brakes. Its like going back to the 80's. Now its an "ADV" bike, meaning super heavy is great! If you dont expect much, dont want any convenience at all? This is your bike.

Hi bro. I am in cameroon. I need a very goood touring motorcycle

I have an SCR 950 basically avparts bin special Bolt. Its simply ultra reliable, a pleasure to ride and so simple to maintain. I had the seat upgraded with extra padding and its my daily driver. I have covered 55000 trouble free miles riding year round in all kinds of weather in the UK. Its great badically a 1980's bike. Its a keeper.

it's not "fully automatic", it's a single gear... It's a stupid term to use, when it clearly doesn't apply at all.

bonnie more reliable than the W? Where did you take that idea from??? lol

Is there supposed to be any play in a driveshaft?

Go watch a few Dave Ramsey video's to get an understanding of how he feels about debt. Might change your perspective on money in a positive way.

How about a drink for every time he quotes

Ive got a 1997 model which had under 2000 miles when i got it and was mint! I think its a great bike but there is no way my one is getting to the 115 - 120 mph range, no way. I have only managed to get it to 90, and that was down a very long hill on the motorway. Also, it is awful in cross winds! The faired version must be far worse. However, i love the soft suspension. It eats up the worst holes on Scottish roads! Great reliable bike as long as any carb problems have been sorted. Also i changed the oil and filter after the recomended time and the old filter had disintegrated and it was like wire wool as i drained the oil. So change the oil and filter BEFORE the recomended time. And always change the filter with the oil. Only other bad thing is the lean into the handlebars. Its a stretch with the drop bars and is hurting my back. My hands and arms are going numb at night in bed!
