Love this video, I am taking delivery of an SCR on Monday, so helpful, thanks
Ah that’s great! About to do my 1 year review. I’ve loved the bike. Taken it everywhere (Malle Rally)…just did this as-well czcams.com/video/jB3UcNsUWSA/video.html
Handlebars = good; headlight = good; resprayed tank = no way; crashbars = not necessary, potentially damage the frame; pannier frames = obtrusive. SCR950 = great bike.
Looks good. I am getting this bike soon.
👍🏻👍🏻
Your quality is awesome, keep up the good stuff. Following you since the Honda Varadero 125 XL Reviews... Greetings from Switzerland :)
Made my day. Thank you so much 👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@BikesVansandThings just the truth! Already hyped for the next video :)
Dude, I like your bike!
🙏🏼🙏🏼
That Akro exhaust sounds awesome! The 1-inch lift does really make a difference and I really noticed a difference cornering as it keeps the peg mounts from scrubbing as quick as they did before new shocks.
I don’t scrape the pegs at all (maybe not going fast enough 😂). The exhaust is great but the headlight is the game changer for me
@@BikesVansandThings Yeah I replaced the bulb with an LED which gives me more light but still need to do the full swap to get the output you have. That looks to be a great mod!
@@vanagoonadventures6033 it was fiddly but it’s been a game changer at night and being seen.
Just subscribed!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks for posting this informative and quality video. I own this model too and would be interested to know, what model the hagon shocks are and how they perform, they are of course a fraction of the cost of ohlins. And could you let me know were you wired your heated grips into.
Better days are coming I'm sure.
Stuart, thank you sir. (1) I cant remember (or find the receipt) for the Hagon shocks. I phoned them up and they sent me the correct ones. Apologies for not being clearer but they were vey helpful. I couldn't find the SCR950 on the website (2) The heated grips are directly wired to the battery nodes. I ran the wires under the petrol tank and along the frame. The voltage meter is great to check any drain which thankfully hasn't happened. I have left the bike for a few days with no issue.
Great video. You certainly got a great deal. Whereabouts is the dealer in Ringwood as I live very close by?!!
Yamaha Ashley Heath roundabout area
Hi Rob, I've watched all your videos and they're great thank you. Consequently I've bought a SCR 950 too. Could you help me out on one aspect. I'm quite deaf so I can't hear the engine revs as well as I once did, consequently I don't know exactly when to cleanly change gears when accelerating. Roughly I'm going from 1st gear to 2nd at 5mph, 2nd to 3rd at around 15mph, 3rd to 4th at around 25mph and 4th to 5th at around 34mph. Is this about right? If you could help I'd be very grateful, cheers. 👍👍👍
Loving the bike by the way.
Firstly, thank you for your feedback and delighted the videos provided some value. I think this is about right to be honest however I will do a check for you once I am home with bike (end of June). Currently in Singapore so creating a couple of videos out here.
Thanks again and will come back to you.
@@BikesVansandThings Brilliant Rob, many thanks for your help and swift reply, you're a gent. Have a great vacation. 👍👍
How does the side stand cope with the rear being jacked up an inch by the Hagons?
very cool bike my friend!! what about the belt at the sand?
i mean, is there any problem to ride on dust,sand and why not and mud with belt????
I’ve been in mud, underwater and off-road on the bike and never had a problem with the belt 👍🏻 thank you for commenting and delighted you like the bike!
@@BikesVansandThings thanks for quick response! so ,after how many miles, kilometres ,you have to replace the belt??
Is there any failures if belt is old? i mean ,isnt ''jumps'' from the place that rolling sometimes??
@@kostasrestas no issues at the moment. I’ve done 6k miles. Due for MoT in a week or so, so will assess wear then. Visually could do with a new one!
No European manufacturers makes a decent can for the SCR950...for Akra money, you can get a Two Brothers Racing or a Vance and Hines full system. I've looked closely at these bike, they need £1000 just thrown at the engine from the off, and to shed that 40kg of 'fat' ,it gets expensive...I've worked out how to do it, and it's a winter of work! Safe ride
Thanks William 👍🏻👏🏼
Hellou, your bike looking awesome.
İf its posibble could you write all the brands what you bought for your Scr 950. Thank you. ))
All details in the video description my friend 👍🏻👍🏻
Yess ,just saw it thank youu )))
Very helpful video , well done , would you know the reference number or exact name ....for the Hagon Rear Shock ? The website is under construction at the moment . thanks
Thank you! Best thing to do is give them a call. They were very helpful and sent me what I needed. I can’t find the exact model apologies. As they don’t have the SCr950 option.
@@BikesVansandThings Thanks , I'll start with the Luimoto seat cover for now.
@@sofienekhedher4375 great. Let me know how you get on!
I did a whole video on the fitting of this also...👍🏻 czcams.com/video/vkqmJTQAx6E/video.html
Would you recommend this bike to an older beginner biker ? Really like the style.
Yes absolutely. Just finishing my write up about some essential Mods. My dad (62) doesn’t like seating position as he struggles to get leg over seat after hip replacement so dedicated cruiser is better for him. Seat cover and rear spring change essential to stop vibrations though.
@@BikesVansandThings thanks for your reply looking into getting my first bike at 40 but really confused what to get
@@Pipes61874 I was 40 last year when I got this and was super confused on what to get. My written review is out this weekend so will send a link. A great option for those wanting to do a bit of everything and well worth the reduced price tag.
Review now up on the blog robaldous.exposure.co/the-yamaha-scr950
I believe this bike is now for sale? I'm interested.
Hi Stuart! Yes it is. Video going up this weekend but link is here www.carandclassic.com/l/C1744156
what about an updated speedometer / tachometer? the stock one is horrendous.
I’ve kind of got used to it but I agree although not many good alternatives
Beutiful
Man! There is no way my wife would let me spend so much money on motorcycle accessories!!!! I would have to add divorce cost to the bottom of the list. Luckily for me, the SCR works great stock, even after 15000 km. I only installed the Yamaha fork brace (better stiffness of front forks on hard braking), bash plate under the engine for off-road protection and I replaced the original foot pegs with Puig Enduro. They have rubbers, so less vibration into my feet and less slippage too. You also increase your lean angle by about 4 deg (grin:). Two observations: first, the 2 screws on your exhaust pipe cover (below the ignition) are starting to develop rust. Mine are not, so I suspect it is probably due to winter riding in salt. A hose-down after each ride will help a little. Second, your throttle cable assembly on the new handlebar is pointed pretty far up, you will have to twist your throttle hand too far down to give it full gas. I would re-drill the handlebar hole and seat it a little lower.
😂😂 I tried to package it as ‘a whole’ to get it through internal finance.
Pegs sound like a good idea.
Thank you for notes on exhaust and throttle. Will take a look. Seems to be ok and haven’t noticed issues on the positioning but will take your advice and double check.
Thanks again and more scr950 specific content to come!
@@BikesVansandThings My mistake, the pegs are Puig Trail (black), not Enduro (those are a bit too chunky in appearance). You'd need to get the universal adapter from Puig + the pegs, which are angle-adjustable (also a nice plus). I think they would look very good with your SCR's overall style.
@@adamhavlena9480 great. Thank you 🙏🏼
Well...if you take a proper care of this bike, chances are, it will probably outlive you.
Probably!
On no ! "Game changer" The dreaded term that like the word ; "amazing", has been SO over used in marketing, that it's a TOTAL turnoff to hear it. Everything now days is either a "game changer" or is "amazing".
😂 Maybe go for a ride….it’s great for relaxation 👍🏻
