imagine what Michael dunlop would do to these cars around the iom tt course 😢😅
Yamaha should be blue
ty brother
lol the thought drinking the coors light while looking at you strangely
what the hell is in that truck?
my friend told me an r6 gapped his 636 and I thought he wasn't wot. incredible I thought the 636 was the fastest and I thought the r6 wasn't that much faster that other 600s, I thought it was negligible.
a menace
Sondors is an unethical company. NO BIKE NO REFUND!
I had to change my clutch Twice 😮😮within Three months, i feel it slipping sgain.
Tilt sensor
I installed the new clutch but when I put it back together the clutch won't engage and stalls every time I put it in 1st gear, I followed step by step does anyone know why it won't engage
i have 750w electric bicycle. i keep looking at those 60v ebikes. i think they are a better option than the sondors. the more exotic looking the more trouble.
Every 5000-6000 miles!!?? Sounds like a lemon. Had mine checked at 42,000km/26600mi (as recommended in the manual) and they didn't need any adjusting. Currently sitting at 75,000km, so next check's coming up, which I'll probably use your videos to do the check myself, this time. Noticed in your previous video you said not to bother with adjusting the throttle bodies if one is having idle issues. I definitely disagree. Mine was idling just like yours in this video, but then I did the throttle bodies and it's been perfect ever since. (If you're gonna do the them, though, get a good measuring instrument. I borrowed my friend's Amazon Special, which was one of those 4-gauge clock style set ups. It ended being a very, very finnicky tool to work with. Was a shining example of one time use product dumping.)
Share then that throttle body adjustment please.
06 R6 here. Bike idle seems rough and sometimes takes a while to start, will die on cold start if I try to rev it. Valve adjustment needed? Also I have power commander 3 will fixing valves cause any problems regarding how the bike runs w/ a tune.
WHERE IS MY MONEY $$$$$$$$$$$??????????
great video, can you send me the link to the clutch kit u replaced on ur ninja 400 4 years ago?
The 2006-7 GSXR'S have a lot of electrical issues. On the 2008-9-10 the front light was changed on those years and they look nice What really gets me is that the prices in all of them manufacturers are just about the price of a new one. If you good mechanical go for it...and be happy with what you get. Am doing research in different years on the 600's...that's plenty of power. Am new in the riding adventures and just try to buy the proper bike ...but then again nothing is proper. And the saga continues... I watched your video for the length of time...got my popcorn 🍿, my drink, hotdog and my notebook to get more info to learn about different brands. Safe riding Much blessings 🙌 Ty for the video. 🏍🏍🏍😎😎😎💪💪💪
So that's why my engine braking is so hard, the 07 CBR is my first step into the super sport world so I've just assumed everything is a superr sport thing. I have noticed she can SNAP pretty hard if I give it too much throttle and pop the clutch. Definitely see how people can clutch up so easy on these things!
I see no difference. My revs are a lot shorter
It would have been great to see you remove the throttle body.. or atleast go into more depth about it only being the 4 clamp screws on each valve thats holding it on... I spent WAY to much time searching for ghost screws..
Sonders fucked people over bad
your yamaha R6 sounds so smooth
Mine won’t idle from start any idea
An updated comparison with newer models would be great
So you’ve made your complaints well-known. (Sorry the throttle made your wrist hurt). We all know this electric motorcycle was made with little to no quality control. Off the shelf SiAecosys parts available to the public were put together on this frame to make this motorcycle. I got 2700 miles out of mine so I figured $2/mile is what I spent before the controller burned out. Storm Sondors screwed us. Some more than others. So what’s your solution? Are you going to modify yours to address these problems? If so, it would be helpful if you shared the solutions. This electric motorcycle is a novelty. The company is completely out of business now so you’ll have to fix problems by yourself. Also why do you compare this motorcycle to internal combustion engine motorcycles?
I just picked up a 2004 cbr600rr in show room condition I don't like all them soft driver modes
You’re a legend. Had this on a 2017 z650 I bought from a dealer. This fixed oil leaking from the weep hole. Thank you
An update, 2x major failures of the electronics display, one within 300 miles, another within 700 miles, no response on customer service for the second time.
Good video, how much did you get it for? I want to sell mine, trying to gauge the market for these.
Hey bro cool video. I wanted to know because i did valve adjustment like 43k km. Now on 46k i did oil and filter change. I have the same issue as soon as i did oil change. It idles but in stationary so it stays like 1200 than it drops to 1000 but in a bit and goes back up. What to do at this point because i dont know.
Dude, I can just tell....You HATE Kawasaki. No 600 is touching my 2021 636. You're smoking dope dude.
Yep.. he was a bit positive bias about Suzuki and negative about Kawasaki, I really don't know how he got Suzuki in first even after mentioning all the problems they have, even when clearly shown the list of problems still got a better rating from him than Kawasaki 😂, but still a good overview though.
SONDORS is a SCAM. They never DELIVERED(3 years now). They KEPT(STOLE) the Money. AND the PHONE NUMBERS on the WEBSITE DO NOT WORK and they dont respond to emails either. Go try for yourself, just DONT GET FOOLED LIKE I DID and order one
Exactly how mine is right it’s a 05
Volar and JT chains are trash compared to DID and RK (Japanese).
Fantastic job on the video! Just to clarify, I can buy a CCT for a 2008 and use it on a 2007 correct?
correct, they updated the part number a while ago it's the same cct with same part number for 06/07 and for 08/16. It's a newer upgraded version than the standard version of 08/16 or 06/07.
@@kimisaito5489Awesome. Thank you for the info!
I recently bought a 2016 ninja 650 with the same motor and exact same leak. Thank you bro. Hope life is going well for you.
Thanks for this effort but you got lot of things wrong here !! I’ve wathed tons of videos comparing the 600s class by many champs and professionals riders from the UK and the US , and they all agreed that zx6r is the more friendly and smoother on the more comfortable on the street than any other class ever existed , and that the R6 is the best in track
Very interested video thank you so much I'm thinking of buying a use bike and was confused about which one to buy kawasaki never in mind just don't like them
The Best $5700 i ever Spent, I'm glad, i was probably, one of the 1st 900 to receive mine, When QC was still Up to Standards
I actually like my Metacycle - but I do share the disappointment with the mismanagement at Sondors. RBS
Do you need a motorcycle license for this?
@@ellestar2306yes. It’s a fully legal MC but you can’t get it new the company royally f’d up and are no longer in business only a few thousand exist. I own a black one don’t have all these issues live in NJ if your interested…
If it lasts 2000 miles with no issues comment. 40,000 on the Yamaha to issues..... 100 miles Sonders issues.. 500 miles tons of issues
@@thegoldbarron9504 sounds like you just got unlucky haha 🤷♂️ it happens
I'm glad i used paypal credit at checkout and disputed it in december 2023 and got my money back!!!
I have the Metacycle and haven't had any of the ergonomic issues or mechanical failures that you mentioned, however I can agree that the shocks don't absorb bumps very well but tend to bounce over them. (Not good for bumps + rain) The only issue I have had is the power button stop working while riding so I had a bike that couldn't turn off, but after disconnecting and re-pairing the battery using the dongle the power button allowed me to turn the bike off again. I assume the power button not responding must have been a software glitch. Over all it's been a comfortable and fun bike to ride all around my city, no points of discomfort, great brakes, good acceleration, enough range, high and low beams are really good also the turn signals are bright, charge time less than 4 hours and ready to go, I have no complaints about the comfort of the seat, throttle, foot stands, they are fine for me. The rear wheel is going to be involved to remove but I build many e-bikes so it will just be a day out of my weekend to replace the rear tire if needed.
Do tell, how many miles do you have on it, and what do you weigh? If I myslef had owned this maybe the fork seals would not have failed because I am a small guy
@@thegoldbarron9504 And also. What are you comparing this too? Important to give an impression of a bike having owned/riden dozens of others..
I weigh about 170 lbs, the bike has 1500 miles and I just got the issue on the brake side of the fork seal leaking. Geely said it would be $160 for replacement forks, not including vat, card fees, and shipping.
This bike matches most closely with the Ryvid Anthem from all that I have gathered about it except that the Metacycle has reached 90 mph while the Ryvid only claims to reach 70+ mph. I have ridden the Livewire Mulholland and S2 Del Mar and even though they only have 1/3 more torque, it makes a massive difference in acceleration. Additionally the cornering on the Metacycle is not great compared to the Livewire bikes.
I can tell that the model you were reviewing here is an early model, lots of changes have been done before mine was delivered. The spokes are in the wheel instead of on external mount points, the kick stand was improved so it doesn't hit the frame, the brakes are surprisingly good much better than my e-bikes so maybe that was improved.
I think the shocks leaking is a rarity haven't really seen it posted anywhere else as being a widespread issue. Have 2 metas myself, so far so good as I knock on wood!
With SONDORS, you "PAY to NOT PLAY", and you better like it, cause once they GOT YOUR MONEY, they just IGNORE YOU. They PROMISED, then STOLE and then GHOSTED. iT'S BEEN 3 YEARS and COUNTING..... #SONDORSSUCKS #SONDORSSTEALS #GIVEUSOURMONEYBACKSONDORS #SONDORSISAFRAUD #SONDORSLIES
I'm going to order the replacement forks from the manufacturer "Geely", I might buy a few extra to sell on eBay so people don't need to wait on them from China. Currently waiting on some other parts from Geely for the Metacycle
My Metacycle suspension started leaking pretty bad on the brake side. I had to buy a few special tools and replace the oil seal and washer which fixed the problem. I was able to get it fixed in a weekend and be back in action by Monday. It has held up great since.
I'm glad that someone who rides a bike is reviewing this thing. A lot of reviewers are way too impressed with the way it looks and how it's "affordable" to even comment on anything practical. Thank you!

Your seductive quiet voice really kept me watching the whole video LOL. Good job man enjoyed it.
I ordered and paid for mine a year and a half ago. No bike, no one to reach to ask questions...total failure. Getting ready to help launch class action lawsuit.
As of January 3, 2024, Sondors is in receivership, which means its creditors are trying to liquidate the company's assets to pay off debts.
Me Too! 3 years now and counting. Can i join that lawsuit please?
what size is the shim diameter on a 2015 r6?
I'm gonna say 2006 gsxr 600 being I've had a 2006 gsx600f my
Had a cbr600 for 4 years, now have a gsxr600 for over 2 years, gsxr maintenance is easier to work on, it has a slipper clutch with less engine breaking, its more comfortable on longer rides. I just thought the cbr looked better, sounded better, and handled slightly better. Rode a zx6r, awesome power band, but didn't like the breaks and it doesn't come with a steering damper, and my back and wrist was killing me within 30 minutes. I know all about the gsxr750, but the 600s power and better agility is all I'll ever need.
How tall are you? I’m interested in the comfort of these bikes for me
I found that mine had this but louder. The problem was a stripped spark plug hole and every time the explosion happened, the spark plug moved up and down making the THUMP THUMP THUMP sound.
Best is Cbr 600rr
