Break in my new Yamaha MT-07 motorcycle
zhlédnutí 10KPřed 2 lety
Last week, I bought a 2021 Yamaha MT-07 so I’ll be breaking in the bike for the first few hundred kilometers. I happen to own a rental property in Bowmanville, Ontario which is just a few kilometers away from where I live. I received a call from the tenant because their dryer won’t come on anymore. So I’m riding my bike there to investigate. To those new to riding, or driving in general, the br...
2021 Yamaha MT-07 a Short Rider’s First Impressions
zhlédnutí 49KPřed 2 lety
I bought a brand new 2021 Yamaha MT-07 and here are my first impressions from the perspective of a mature short rider. The most interesting things about this motorcycle are its new headlight design, and the dash. The new LED projector headlight was a concern because of the small diameter might make it less visible to other drivers but it doesn’t appear to be a problem so far. Then there is the ...
My First Footpeg Scraper - Suzuki M50 Cruiser Motorcycle
zhlédnutí 850Před 2 lety
My fear level on the Boulevard M50 motorcycle is moderate and so I was afraid to lean the bike too much. I have found it very intimidating to make U turns so I wanted to get over this fear and test the lean angle limits. I didn’t have this problem with my CBR250R but with this bike, I’ve had to put a foot down while making U turns. In the process, I made my first footpeg drag.

A couple of years ago, I developed a fear of riding my motorcycle for no reason. I had not been involved in any close calls at all. Every time there was a chance for me to ride, I found an excuse not to. I worried about things like, what if a deranged driver intentionally crosses the center line just to mess with me? Or what if a student driver doesn’t see me and makes a left into my lane? Or i...
I Bought a 2009 Suzuki Boulevard M50: First Impressions
zhlédnutí 17KPřed 2 lety
I bought my first cruiser: a 2009 Suzuki Boulevard M50. With my limited experience on this bike so far, I will tell you how it’s been: First of all, as a shorter rider, I appreciate the lower seat height which allows me to flat foot both feet. Even my CBR-250R did not allow me to do that. I also like the lower centre of gravity which gives it a unique riding experience compared to my sport bike...
Swingarm spool & lift on Honda CBR 250R Motorcycle
zhlédnutí 31KPřed 6 lety
The CBR 250R does not have pre-drilled holes where one could attach spools. There are different methods of attaching spools to the bike, and I went with these aluminum mounting brackets. I also bought these Venom rear lift stand to work with the spools. Lift Stand: amzn.to/2mu8Ebk Swingarm spool adapters: amzn.to/2AZrGvj

5 Ways to Avoid Road Rage on a Motorcycle
zhlédnutí 15KPřed 6 lety
Road rage is like a fight between 2 opponents using their cars as weapons and shields. You can imagine why road rage on a bike can be more costly than in a car. You are more likely to get injured or killed in a bike accident by yourself to begin with. The risk increases when it involves another vehicle because your potential opponent is driving a more massive vehicle. 1. Wear the right attitude...

Rear Suspension Adjustment CBR 250R Motorcycle
zhlédnutí 332KPřed 8 lety
In this episode, I’m going to show you how to adjust the Rear Suspension on a Honda CBR 250R and why anyone would want to do this. A softer suspension setting increases riding comfort so that your spine absorbs less of the energy transfer from bumps, but takes less additional load for the shock absober to bottom out. On the other hand, a stiffer setting will be capable of taking on a heavier lo...

Sorry for the low quality video of my car's dashcam. Just a quick video to show a couple of bad drivers. One is a motorcyclist stunting on public roads.

My first bike was an 84. I loved that bike!
When outside is hot I can start bike without choke?
Thanks for making a clear video, I just did my first oil change with your help!
i have an 85 nighthawk 450 and was wondering where you got the rear rack. I got a motorcycle trip with my dad and brothers next year and that rack would be very handy
MC glowes should go outside the armsleeves to prtect from cold air getting inside -from a norwegian CM400T owner
The M50 was my first bike that I found to be a perfect learning bike. My only gripe was the 805cc caused me to always look for a 6th gear over the 6 year ownership. I am now on a m109r and Love the bike. Cheers!
Lol, your not a gp racer, your tires are fine..
Hola buen día disculpa tengo una honda cm400t pero no funcionan los medidores de velocidad y revoluciones donde podría conseguirlos o repararlo soy de médico

Love the "tip" about tie-down to prevent bike "tip"-over... ☺☺☺
There should be a screen inside of the fuel petcock ,just check a video on CZcams for your year and bike,sounds like it is clogged, tif it is take it out and clean it ,and you should be back to running perfect,Mark
Serious question: does it matter if they are blinking fast? Like is there a potential for wiring issues or can it just go faster, now and I don’t need to worry about it?
My bike is loud because it's a Triumph and sounds great !
The corner frames of a car are actually blind spots to see the bikers.
last time used seafoam motor blew
I have an 07 bully and wish it had one more gear.
how do you maintain front inner sprocket ? the acquire alot of grease in the chain guard.
i come here every year to watch your video lol
5:23. I have that same 09 M50. I have yet to scrape, but I am a new rider (3 months 😵💫) I think self preservation caused you to scape hard parts, it looks to me like as you approached the curb you increased your lean angle.
My 83' and I have been through thick walls of topsoil & around crazed highway corners; glad to watch such an amazing video!
I put the entire bottle in my 05 katana 600 usually around half a tank and fill it up and just pure highway once I get to about a quarter tank fill up and go about my day home more riding outcomes very
This is my 2nd bike, 1st was a harley davidson 883...night and day - and after a year I feel like I'm still getting used to her. Great info mate
The bike is quick and it comes alive a bit more from 6k rpm onwards. I've got the 21 model, pretty much the same but I get analogue tacho and liquid crystal clocks (not as nice) and a blipper. I really like the big tacho with the shift lights though. One thing on mine that is annoying, at low speed when you have to apply full or close to full lock the clutch bite point changes. I.e. full lock left the bite point moves closer to the bar, full lock left its farther away. I don't notice it at any other time, just have to keep it in mind or its easy to stall esp on full left lock turns. Anyway, hope you enjoy your riding
Or you could just read the manual and do as the manufacturer of the bike says to do. And then if you have a problem with the engine they can't say well you didn't do proper break in. And they know if you do it properly because of all the little sensors in the engine.
for the first 50-100 miles i take it easy varying rpm. Then i gradually build up until i ride it as i would after service.
If you repair your motorcycle yourself, buy a lift, they don't cost a lot of money
Fuck this. 5"5 is not short
What type of oil ? Not brand
THANK YOU MY BOY BROWN
It is possible to convert cbr250r into cbr300r
Hi mate I have an m50 and just watched your video. To help with confidence when accelerating from a stop, try pre loading your revs- learn to keep revs up a bit at all times and use your clutch to control forward power/ acceleration.- that way you always have power available to go…Alex
Very nice story. Congrats!
thank you!
What was the cleaner and lube u used
Good to remember ;)
after tensioning my chain i started to hear a loud clicking noise near the left bottom rear like somthing jumping. What could that be?
idk how you can ride a bike as ugly as the cbr250r
Just upgraded to my23 Mt07 from a rebel 500 this has so much more pull, loving it
Guzel olmus.
I’m going to do this with reflective tape.
Does it lower the seat height on cbr250r?
I don't have my CBR anymore but I think it can affect the seat height.
@@Brownbrady I bought my CBR almost 7 years ago and used to watch your videos and learned so much about my bike . I still have the CBR although I have bought a couple more bikes since then, just don’t feel like selling it off…. Every time I think of selling it of and go for a last ride… I come back and vow never to sell it 😂❤
Totally relatable. The CBR250R is practical, affordable to own, and a wonderful bike that my heart broke a bit when I let it go. I still think about owning one again in the future.
Great to see you back. That's a nice bike.
It sure is! More to come.
Welcome back! Been subbed for many years and have enjoyed seeing your fleet of bikes evolve and change overtime. Only January now but looking forward to the riding season :) P.S. - for the headlights, are you sure it is burnt out of is one of the lights for the highbeams so when you turn the highbeams on, both headlights light up? Not sure if that is how it works.
When I turn on the high beams, both of them light up but only 1 on low beam.
That is how it it supposed to work @@Brownbrady
Oh ok I thought both of them come on on low beam. Thanks for letting me know.
I had to 09 standard Street Triple. It was a great bike. I traded in my MT07 for a 2023 ZX4RR. Blown away by it. I did lower it to little over an inch. I had my riding boots re-soled to a thicker sole and put some insoles in them. I can flat foot it now. Have you got your speed odometer set in KMH.
Good idea about re-soling lol. And, yes, I have my odometer set in Km.
BrownBrady is BACK 😜 🏍
It's nice to be back :)
Did you see that I featured you in TWO of my past Videos. 😜
I just did. Thanks for the mention!
i hate the headlights on that bike…goofy looking
You're WELCOME My Friend 😺 I hope you keep posting MotoVids Brady. I could introduce you to many Canadian MotoVloggers if you would like. May I ask, what part of Ontario are you in.? 🏍

I’m glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.
thank... best vid of them all on this subject.
Is this bike suitable for some uder the hight of 5ft2 ??
I'm 5'5" and found that this bike was a little too tall and uncomfortable or me.
WHERE DID YOU GET THAT REAR RACK?! I’ve been looking for one for ages as I do food delivery and hate wearing the backpack.
It was already on the bike when I bought it.
In the "old days" before the advent of "o" ring chains, I used to have several chains with master links (we seem to have gotten away from master links) I would take the new chain and link it to the old chain and pull it through and reconnect it. The "old dirty chain" I mounted a BBQ rotisserie motor with a front sprocket welded to it on the garage wall and allowed the chain to rotate through a mix of gear oil and motor oil for a day and it got squeeky clean and lubed. I would then stand out in the yard and fling the chain in a circle to remove a good deal of the excess before wiping it down. This surely would well lube all the pins and links which you cannot do today. By the way, I just bought a second CBR Halloween day that is the same color as yours
