@@grtbgf I found them quite clunky yes, not sure whether it was because the bike was somewhat new but it is in no way a sporty gearbox

Yes it does. Since then I remapped the ECU and opened up the air box and oh boy... Power wheelie in 2nd gear is now an understatement, it pulls so hard you could flip it by just keeping it full throttle

@@bikepipes wow! Could you give me more details please? Which ECU flash did you go for? Did you decat? Thanks mate!! 🤟🏻🤟🏻

@@pablosandepena8786 I sent my ECU to NRBike in the south of France. I told them my bike setup (which slip-on, decat or not etc...) and they tuned it accordingly, the results is mega! I didn't decat, I feel like the bike is loud enough as is and I use it everyday to go to work so I don't want to be obnoxiously loud. I changed the air filter for a BMC one and changed the air box cover with a MWR open plate. The air intake sound is great, the torque down low is much much more aggressive and the rev limiter has been pushed by 200rpm. Also I have a 15-tooth front sprocket, which to me is the single best mod you can do on your bike, i did that as soon as I got the bike. Hope it helps! Cheers ✌️

@@bikepipes Thank you for the detailed answer! I would love to see a vid with all those mods in <3

@@pablosandepena8786 no problem! I'll try to make a video soon

Thanks!

Hey, I also struggled for a while finding the right setup. What I do is: - Running type fanny pack that I wear on my lower back - Deadcat windscreen on the mic - Mic sensibility set to 6-7 - Mic pointing towards the exhaust Hope that helps!

@@bikepipes I will try that for the next time. Thank you

Yes no problem at all

C'est trop tentant avec le dos d'âne ! T'y passes souvent ? On s'est peut-être déjà croisé. Échappement d'origine oui, après le micro est placé idéalement, à savoir en bas de mon dos en pointant vers la droite, donc ça peut légèrement amplifier le son

@@bikepipes Mes parents habitent à Launac, je suis du coin. Maintenant j'habite à Toulouse et je joue au foot à Daux. DOnc j'y passe assez souvent ouais. Un SMCR bleu si jamais ;)

@@carraujilen ça marche je fais Saint Paul - Blagnac tous les jours moi, je te ferai signe si je te croise, et du coup un SMT bientôt du coup, tu vas te régaler

Thanks a lot mate I really appreciate it! ✌️

Ciao ! Grazie !! To be honest the pipe design is very good and is bent such as it stands as far away from your foot as possible. I only touched my boot twice by mistake but other than that I never had an issue with it, and I wear shoes in 46!

​@@bikepipesok grazie mille..allora penso che sia una soluzione montando questo scarico..perché con l'originale nn riesco a mettere bene il piede in posizione quando mi piego a sinistra..

@@nicoloattorni7444 yes I had the same issue with the standard exhaust and this slip-on fixed that problem. Out of all the exhausts available I think it is the one giving you the most clearance for your foot

Grazieee ✊️✊️

It is not my bike but my mate has no problem at all leaning it all the way, he's very quick with that bike and has no problem scraping pegs, exhaust or other 🙂

What do you mean by terminal?

Sorry i translate by italian 😅 muffler

@@michelvicentabukatuka1167 No problem mate! The bike was fitted with the stock muffler

You'll love it man, amazing bike!

@@bikepipes Thank you upgrading from an r3, will the ride and power be very noticeable I ride more street commute to work, back roads ?

@@user-vj9nd3hf9v Absolutely mate, the 690 pulls hard from down low and the power up top is vey nice, especially considering how light the bike is

@@bikepipes Just got the bike and love it only a few things that takes some getting used too. 1) The kickstands design and function on this bike makes me feel like its going to tip over lol. I am sitting on it and I am contemplating how I get off the bike once I find the kickstand and use it ? 2) This girl shakes and boggs anytime I am under 4k rpms. Some people just deal with it and others say that an o2 dongle makes a world of difference to curve the bogging at lower rpms. Have you had any issues with that ?

@@user-vj9nd3hf9v The kickstand makes the bike sit quite upright indeed, never had particular issues with that but you're right, it's not leaning much. As for the bogging at low RPMs, this is what I did: - First and foremost, I switched the front sprocket for a 15-tooth one, instead of 16. This makes the bike so much more enjoyable at low RPM and makes it much more punchy overall. Costs 30€/$ - I decated mine which with a leovince decat which also made it much more "gentle" at low RPMs. (No remap) I would advise to add the KevO2 mod when doing this so that you ensure your bike isn't running too lean. These few changes transform the bike to what it should've been out of the factory

I'll try posting more mate, thanks for the support 💪

It's a proper motorcycle, meaning you have to shift gears with your left foot (up and down), rear brake on your right foot, front brake on your right hand and clutch on your left hand. Hope it helps!

@@bikepipes ohhh. i see, i hope some brand someday make this kind of bikes like motocross but just using left and ride hand... just a dream, Thank you for answer me

@@messerschmitt3725 Honda do make bikes like this mate, it's called the DCT gearbox, they have a couple of models (750cc and 1100cc) using this, and you don't need to shift gears anymore!

@@bikepipes DANKE BUDDY!!!!

Continental Contiroad, well happy with these!

@@bikepipes okay thx u !

Not too shabby indeed, but a slip-on would definitely make her sing!

Hi, it is recommended to remap the bike with the full exhaust although I hadn't done it initially and it ran just fine. A year after doing the full exhaust I decided to open up the air box so then I had to remap it

@@bikepipes thanks

Un local 😉 tout était calculé !

Thank you! GoPro Hero 8 black, 4k, 24fps, superview with a PolarPro ND filter clipped on. The GoPro is mounted on my helmet using a chin mount

thank you for the answer!@@bikepipes

Thanks a lot I really appreciate it, glad you enjoyed it! ✌️

No decat, no remap, just a slip-on

Wow, sounds pretty good then! But hard to tell from the video how LOUD it really is... Can you keep it quiet in town? Where I live, the police give out big fines.@@bikepipes

@@888jackflash to be honest it is not that loud, just loud enough so that you notice it but not obnoxious. The mic makes it sound a bit louder than it is

Wow your opinion means so much too me, lol

Salut! Un support vraiment basique sur Amazon de la marque Grefay, ça fait 3 ans que je l'ai et il a pas bougé

@@bikepipessuper merci 😊

Thanks a lot mate! I put the mic in a fanny pack that I wear in my back, works like a charm

I place my microphone in a fanny pack that I wear on my back

@@bikepipes Thanks for the tip! I’ll try it! I’ll start talking on my videos so I was looking so much for this. Please have a look and any advice would be pure love. Thanks!

No worries mate ✌️

Thanks a lot mate! I just uploaded a short showing a fly by, it's not the best quality but it is the only fly by video I have, hope it helps. czcams.com/users/shortsi3YGXWOjPWQ?si=mKOwDbeDE4_jh4i_

Thanks a lot mate ✌️

It does sound good with the stock muffler. I feel like a decat could really unleash the aggressiveness but it might be a bit loud

Not true, i have an sc project crt with the cat still there and the sound has improved from the stock muffler, not so much but still worth it for me..

@@FZ1Nightrider Would you say it's louder with the CRT muffler with the stock cats?

@@lukataggert8616 definetely louder, but don't expect the extremely loud sound that would be with a decat system of course

@@FZ1Nightrider Yeah good to know thanks for letting me know! Trying to find a balance of noise between quiet and loud can be hard haha

It is amazing! It is next to Quillan, in the southwest of France, close to Spain

Never thought of it that way but you might be on to something! The sound it makes up top really encourages you to use the whole rev range

Quite a big difference with the 15-tooth sprocket fitted, the bike is much more agressive and much easier to handle at low speed, the gearing feels less "awkward". I just have the Dominator slip-on with DB killer, no decat. It does sound good as is, not too loud, just enough 👌

No kidding eh

Yes

Thanks very much mate I appreciate it! ✌️

In a fanny pack that I wear backwards, that way it's protected from the wind and it is next to the exhaust

@@bikepipes awesome thank you very much

Thanks very much! I put the mic inside of a fanny pack that I placed behind my back, it works like a charm

@@bikepipes Thank you so much :)

Thanks mate!

Every time in the video the speed goes above a threshold (~120km/h) I add a blur filter in Adobe Premiere Pro. It is a bit of a pain since I have to scan the whole videos and add several filters but it works well

@@bikepipes thanks.
