Quick test ride and review of the 2015 Yamaha Bolt C-Spec. I've had the bike sitting in the garage for a few months but haven't gotten out for a decent ride/review/impressions. So, today I'll go over my thoughts and impressions of the yamaha bolt. Inevitably, we'll go a bit into my opinion on the bolt vs iron 883 debate as well. We also take the bolt off road and test different terrain to mix things up a bit. Enjoy a 0-60 mph run and all kinds of fun stuff on this sesh of Jon's Moto Garage.

4:40 to 4:55 was all I needed to see here. Thanks
I jumped a little when you went over that small dip lol. Nice bike brother, ride safe.
Lol. No kidding. A few things couldgo wrong. Thanks for checking out the vid!
Always been a Yamaha fan, really want a VMAX but as a more practical option I've been looking at the Bolt C-Spec 🥰
Thank you for this it has helped me make my decision even more so on the bolt I have my eyes on 🖖🏼
you know if theres any big difference between the 14s Bolt and 20s bolt? im about to buy one, dont know which year though...
Which is better better Harley 750 street rod or this C spec??
What's this bike equivalent too? As far as a sport goes. A 600, or less?
What bar end mirrors are you using?
Is that the stock exhaust just cut of?
Hey man .. Great video.. Im looking to buy my first Motorcycle and I really like this Yamaha . do you think is good begginers Bike. Im not sure if 900cc would be to much (.750 cc would be my choice ).. Any thought on the Moto Gucci VII.. Thank you in advance
buy a Honda Rebel 300, beat it up, learn how to take care of a bike and then move up when you're ready. If you're brave and disciplined you can start with more power but I think you'd learn faster on something that rides easier
Man I'm thinking about grabbing this, coming from an MT09. I know it's a whole different category, but how fun is this? Does it feel like a big boy bike, or a beginner rebel type deal?
Hmmmm... it's a good mix between big cruiser and rebel. Best bet is to test ride one and see what you think. My initial instinct is to say you may be disappointed coming from the mt09, but really comes down to what you want.
Is this good for beginner biker? I’m just learning how to ride a bike and people tell it’s best to start with cruiser even know I love sport bikes this one looks sporty and sexy
Like a scene out of terminator LOL
what a cool place to ride 😎
Greta video. Just wonder how you found the lean angle on it did you find the pegs dragged easy ?
The pegs drag pretty easy. Check out motojitsu (CZcams channel) if you haven't already. He does knee drags kn all kinds of bikes (goldwing, ultra classic, yamaha bolt, etc.). He also does a ton of great vids on how practice drills.
One thing I always like on your videos is the audio. Man Idk how you edit it but the bikes sound very good. Is it the cam's stock mic?
Thanks man! It's a lapel mic setup. Nothing special. Just goes through the helmet. Pretty sure this is it:

I think I have the gopro hero 4. The lapel mic set comes with all the adapters so you don't have to buy the expensive gopro one.
Great video. Appreciate the information. How is the Bolt on longer rides, say 300 miles or so? How comfortable is it?
Thanks for watching and commenting! I can't speak to the longer rides as I've never gotten out and done one yet on the bolt. I imagine it wouldn't be the most comfortable. But I did 300 + miles on my shadow 600 years back. So, it can be done, just not comfortably. Lol. Sorry I can't be of more help.
I’ve got a 2014 Raven (standard Bolt) with over 18k miles and it’s fairly comfortable on longer rides - mine has a Memphis Shades El Paso shield which helps - also, adding engine guards and pegs will increase long ride comfort. It is a light weight cruiser tho and will def wear you out faster than a bigger/heavier bike. If you mostly ride around town but occasionally take longer runs, it’s fine. I find the stock seat to be pretty comfortable.
@@theoriginalOSOK Im really late but my C Spec Bolt is moderately comfortable on longer rides. My only complaint is my arms start to go numb after two hours. At five hours (roughly 200 miles) I’ve found myself wishing the handlebars were a little more relaxed. Other than that shes great.
thanks my friend I always like your videos, i have the same bike , but do i have to add a fuel controller if i install the GP slip on exhaust?
I bought the bike as is with the slip on installed. It doesnt have a fuel pack and seems to run with no issues. I appreciate the support, brotha! Ride safe!
It's a really really forgiving bike, you can run it like that but you can possibly expect some backfire which isn't bad for the engine just not the best sounding
I think I’m OG. To JMG!!!
Ps that is a sweet bike.
Yeah, you're for sure og to jmg! Thanks!
What brand bar end mirrors are installed? Is the OEM weighted bar end spaced out and the mirrors sandwiched between that and the bar, or were the OEM weighted bar ends removed entirely?
I'll double check but pretty sure oem bar ends are sandwiched between. Not sure on brand because I bought bike as is. Give me some time and I'll try to find out for you. Thanks for checking the vid brother!
I just double checked. They're oem bar ends sandwiched between.
What's the front windscreen/cowling? where did you get it from?
I'm not sure off the top of my head. It was on the bike when I bought it. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Thanks for checking out the vid! Ride safe!
How did you mount your license plate like that?
I do agree thing is dope!
I'm so jealous. I haven't ridden my Bolt since mid-October. We've been hitting negative temperatures all week here in Alaska and have probably another 3-4 months til riding season 😭. Anyways, someone mentioned a Q&A so I'd like to throw in a couple Q's. What's your riding experience and what was your first moto?
Dang, negative temps!? I complain when it hits 60 here! Lol. I'll take the bolt out on a few more rides around the block for you. Also, I'll start compiling a list for the q&a. Thanks for kicking it off! And gracias for checking the channel!
Would you recommend this bike to someone of small stature? I'm 5'5 I've had bikes before but this would be my first cruiser
I'm 5'6", and the Bolt fits me perfectly - I can put both feet down and maneuver it with ease. I've had it for 3 weeks, and it's a blast to ride!
Any tall riders, fans of the bolt round here?im 6’5”, and I really like the looks of it, but I’m reluctant due to my height, not sure if it would be suitable for a tall fellow
Jon, I know about where you are, but may be looking for a ride myself in the near furture. This ride looks like it started near Falcon Field on the 202, right? Do you have a Facebook page or website? Let me know! Thx
CLose. I'm a bit further west. Hit me on ig: @jonsmotogarage or email: jonsmotogarage@gmail.com
hello, I wanted to ask you if you have problems with sticking on the handlebars as many indicate.
Thanks for checking the vid! Hmmm...sticking? Like while turning and fully locking the bars? There's definitely the head shake that occurs on some of the bolts (I did a video on that a while back). Not sure about the sticking...
@@JonsMotoGarage i do not ubderstand english well.
You can explain to me better if you have had the problem of emptying?
And how did you solve it...
@@dr88888 emptying or sticking? I'm not sure that I understand what issue you're talking about. What language do you speak? I may know someone who can translate. I'll try my best.

@@JonsMotoGarage sorry, i m speaking italiano
Would an SV650 be more fun and faster? despite the smaller cc's?
Depends what you are going for i will recommend you the MT-07 if you are looking for something fun.
What about comfort and reach to the bars...
Shoulder and neck problems so it might be an issue.
Gotta say, did a camping trip with my bike and after a couple hours I was really wishing for some R-spec bars at least. Looking to swap my C-spec bars out this season for something taller.
@@agroupofpickles1846
Thanks for the tip.
I think higher bars would be a good mod.
why is the speedometer round but inside its square and small..?
My friend, could you teach us step by step ,how to knee like that? All videos on internet are with sport bikes, and thats no cool , jaja perdona mi inglés hermano, -¿podrías darnos una demostración con tus técnicas para tocar rodilla en el piso?- estaría bueno un video con unos tips, saludos!
Tu ingles me parece perfecto, pero como yo necesito practicar mi espanol (tanto escribir, como hablar), te respondo en espanol. jaja... yo aprendi al mirar los videos de "MotoJitsu" (un canal de youtube). El tipo tiene un monton de videos demostrando como tocar rodilla en cualquir tipo de moto q te puedas imaginar! Pero por ahi yo tambien puedo hacer un video con tips y lo que mas me costo a mi al aprender. Como siempre, gracias por el apoyo! Saludos amigo!
Jon's Moto Garage perfectísimo! Mil gracias 🙏🏻
Ill trade the shadow for the bolt lol but what happen to your QnA??
Hahaha...deal! Just been busy. How do people even do the q and a? I don't think I'd have enough of an audience for a live one...
@@JonsMotoGarage i would ment it in next video and make a vlog riding around answering them i think would be the best way
@@brandonbrowning8273 good idea. Maybe wait until I have a good list of questions and then I can roll em all off. Genius bro!
883 iron or a bolt for a 6,2 rider
Sportster
The best bikes
Gracias hermano!
It's so odd to me how 90% of houses and buildings there, are all just various shades of brown which blends into the brown ass state lol pretty off putting. Your house color good 👍
Wow!! Rpm at 65 sounds like 4000rpm.
Hahaha.....The Bolt will smoke the 883. Too funny on the garage park job. Yep. repeatedly... the Bolt has been the most sought after mid-line cruiser..... Ciao Stay Safe
