Thanks! Just a matter of practise and getting used to. It will become second nature over time if you keep trying to get it right.

Good to hear! However, the S22s only come in 17 inch, so you couldn't possibly have had S22s on an R...

Ooh, never mind. Thought you meant a Super Adventure R, but I now see a Superduke in your profile pic😅

@@jaffabaffa😂😂😂 but pleas check your tires don’t buy an expensive steering dumper and balance them on the proper machine go Michelin even in this video the guy proves that as to your model is concerned czcams.com/video/g-ckeNqFuyU/video.htmlsi=mlOLVPz1KXoj04QZ

opony do wyważenia jeszcze raz szczególnie przód i w moim przypadku przejście na Micheliny U mnie wymiana oleju nie pomogła jak wspomniałem wcześniej Wyważ dokładnie oponę i przejdź na Micheliny Uwierz mi problem z głowy

This is not my own motorcycle. It was a demo bike that my local KTM dealership offered to potential customers for a test ride.

I was talking about this with the mechanic I usually go to today, albeit for my S1000XR. The issue is completely unrelated to the tyres themselves most likely, unless improper balance. I've done a lot to address this on the XR, including lowering or geometry changes, suspension,, damper, testing different screens and configurations, bla bla I'll try giving the head bearings a look over, check wheel alignment thoroughly I guess.

@@ThaSideWeed if you don’t mind, keep us posted! It could just be an issue with adventure bikes 🤷‍♂️

​@@robertqueen2938 While on the 1290SA the issue might be related to bearings, mine doesn't seem to be. In terms of aero, adv bikes are objectively worse than mostly any fully faired sportbike. Depends what you compare it to I guess. It doesn't help that the bike is tall, that's for sure. Only thing that I've yet to check thus far is steering head bearing torque specifically. Additionally, I had aftermarket mirrors with a flat profile, which cause a shit ton of drag. Had one sort of snap back at 200 kph and it was pretty obvious. I tend to think that if airflow is uneven, the drag translates to bar input and might cause a weave. But I've yet to properly test that. Handguards might play a role too. Rock solid up to 200kph though.

@@jaffabaffa Is dit een bepaalde (tet) route?

@@adri6959 Ik geloof dat bepaalde stukken wel onderdeel zijn van de offciële tet route, maar zeker niet alles. Welke stukken wel onderdeel zijn van de tet, en welke niet, zou ik niet weten. De exacte route wordt ter plekke bedacht en bepaald door André (de voorrijder) - afhankelijk van de tijd en van het niveau van de groep.

Not only do I love this bike, but I genuinely think it's one of the best motorcycles you can possibly buy for the money. It's a pleasure to ride, very reliable and relatively cheap to buy and maintain. Just make sure to properly fasten and secure the front sprocket nut (with Loctite), as they tend to come loose and destroy the thread on the outgoing axle (but this issue might have been resolved with the S2 generation).

Will do bro. Thanks

Jest tak samo albo gorzej 🤪

I agree that there's not much to gain above 6000 rpm in terms of making power. However, it's not about what's necessary. It's about fun and having a good time.

It sure is!

Thanks. No, this was recorded in late August 2023.

All those people.....😢

It comes with a damper from factory, but it obviously doesn't do a good enough job to keep the bike stable. I believe HyperPro makes after market steering dampers that fit this bike. The are supposedly better than the stock one. Some have also reported having fixed this problem by replacing the oil in the stock damper with a thicker viscosity oil.

​@@jaffabaffaThanks man, i have a month with it, I put the tail box and started to feel the wobble at 180, will check on that('ー')/~~

I feel you haha. Ride outs like these are organized three or four times a year during the riding season, and people like to show off and go crazy. Being obnoxious and pissing off Karens is all part of the game here.

@@jaffabaffa Like @24:23 🤣

Hab mir am Wochenende eine aus Bayern geschossen. 25J alt. Original 5000km gelaufen mit kompletter Historie. Es gibt sie noch. Nur etwas suchen!

Thanks for your comment, Eivind. You have a great day as well!

I have never ridden a GSR 600, so I wouldn't be able to tell you from personal experience.

Thanks!

It wasn't anything special. The local policemen barely spoke nor understood any English, so I didn't really verbally communicate with them. They only wanted to see and check my documentations and papers, after which I was free to go. No fines or anything like that. It seemed like it was just a regular police control, and they just randomly pulled bikers over to check and verify things.

Thank you!

Most of the bikers that bounce their revs off the rev limiter, have an after market launch control feature programmed in their ECU. Using launch control without actually launching the bike, allows you to make that distinctive rev limiter sound, but halfway through the rev range - not at the top. That way, these bikers can be as loud and obnoxious as possible, but without risking damaging the engine.

I've never ridden a Z1000 before, so I couldn't tell you from personal experience.

Normal. Blblblblbup, Patsch patsch 😂😂

I haven't personally ridden the Z900 before. However, I have ridden the Z900 RS. To me, the Z900 (RS) felt a bit plain and generic. It's a gorgeous bike to look at with all its retro flare and all, but the riding experience felt a bit docile and tamed. I think the peak power of the Kawasaki is decent, but the linear power delivery and very muted exhaust sound made it all feel a bit dull and unexciting to me. Also, the suspension of the Z900 (RS) felt very budget with even a little "head shake" above 200 km/h. The Speed Triple 1050 I rode in this video had the Hyperpro rear shock and fork leg springs. That felt way better than the budget suspension of the Z900 (RS). The Triumph also has more grunt down low in the revs, and the three cylinder sound makes it a more "special" bike to ride than the generic in-line four of the Kawasaki. But don't take my word for it. You should really experience it yourself by riding both bikes back to back. A used Speed Triple 1050 is also quite a lot cheaper than a used Z900, so you should take that into consideration as well. Overall, I definitely don't think it's an "insane" idea to replace a Z900 with a Speed Triple 1050. If you like the Triumph, go for it!

@@jaffabaffa thanks! Very detailed answer! I love the sound of triple engine, the look of the bike is amazing. Of course, I’m a fan of the old stile double circled lights. Mu only doubt is about reliability and safety. I should buy a 15yrs old lady, without any assistance like traction control or even ABS. I’m now riding a 2020 z900, it is a modern and I do feel it like a great bike, but its personal character is not comparable the one of a speed triple.

@@albertodanioni6504I just recently bought a 09 speed triple and it honestly feels like it could ride by itself

​@@albertodanioni6504 Hi. I am riding 2011 street triple 675r. I have been riding both street 765 and speed 1200. Speed was too big for me as I ride mostly through the city and new street is na amazing bike BUT I honestly love my rough street with no anti-hopping clutch, ABS and all of that electronic stuff. I am in love with the bike. It is a second for me as I totalled the previous one (typical "left turn"). I doubt I will ever change this bike for another one as my daily motorcycle. I will gladly answer aby questions on regard of this model if that interests you. Both motorcycles are pleasent to ride, quality is really good, to me its a reliable motorcycle. Ride what you like and not what seems newer or cooler. There are plenty of amazing motorcycles out there - new or older doesn't really matter. Enjoy it out there :)

No, I did not. As a result, the pops/bangs/crackles from the exhaust became louder and more frequent, which I quite liked anyway. However, the exhaust header always glowed red hot after a couple of minutes riding. Never hurt the bike though

@@jaffabaffa thanks a lot i think to put the same exhaust in my freewind

@@jaffabaffa You need some jetting, probably you are running lean ;)

In terms of performance mods I only have a Dominator exhaust (without DB killer)

@@jaffabaffa thanks.ill buy the same too..ride safe;)

@@laynetravis You too! You won't regret it💪🏻

@@jaffabaffa 😎👍👍

The Freewind is a relatively slow bike, but it has a super high fun factor. Enjoy!

@@jaffabaffa if u compare with similar year and engine size ...some translapt..xtz...i eat them for lunch...but anyway is my first bike)

Thanks! The Freewind only really comes up in first gear. You might also be able to clutch it up in second gear, but when you do, your revs need to be really close to the red line, and your ass needs to be shifted backwards as far as possible. I wouldn't recommend wheelies on this bike if you're not experienced. The bike is simply too underpowered/heavy for it.

@@jaffabaffa Gracias 👍

Obrigad!
