Battery weight savings... Pfft. I shaved 70 pounds off my motorcycle by going on a diet.
Vrok Kronos lmfao niceee
I shaved 120lbs off my motorcycle by getting a divorce!
I shaved.
It's funny, but this is seriously the best performance upgrade you can do.
Friend of mine stopped by and said he just lost 180 lbs. of Ugly fat.
He got a divorce.
I love how he just ends the video with a "thank you for watching". He values our time, and honestly, I hate the 5 minutes outtro some guys do.
And the lack of the usual "Like/subscribe" is much more likely to earn them by now, too.
This channel is amazing.. I will never ride a motorcycle but informative videos about a foreign hobby can actually be quite enjoyable.
"don't forget to subscribe! hit the like button! hit the notification bell! use the links in the description so I get kickbacks on your purchases! also be sure to comment!"
Nailed it -- All content, all the time. Great editing. Jokes were actually funny, no memes. Presenter has an actual personality, isn't afraid to show it. Tasteful 'thank you for watching' at the end, never pandering and begging for likes and subs. Dude... your approach to youtube is refreshing. Subbed.
Also jokes are just enough.
"not so my fellow cheap bast*rds" choked out laughing, this guys is ingeniously hilarious!!!
Yeh, my favourite moto channel for sure. He’s so Canadian it hurts - in a good way.
-A Fellow Canadian
"Cheap Bastards" 😂😂 It's like he knows us. 🤔
I was like how did he know? haha
Lol I was dying ....
It's because he is us
In Canada we have to be. Our rubles only go so far.
KLR 650 owners
_"Now, my cheap bastards"_
I think this guy really knows us.
_"Also I can trip the alarm remotely to scare children "_
Yep, Ryan knows us well 😀
At 17 I've got a 50 cc scooter. It came with a remote start. It was scaring all the old ladies and I could just start it up, jump on it and leave. Pretty cool.
What about winding out 1st gear a bit in a covered car parking garage to set off all the parked car's alarms?
ha ha killed me lol
I can vouch for the Scorpio alarm. Bought one in 2006, they don't seem to have changed much apart from the fob. It's an excellent system. I would recommend buying the appropriate plugs for your bike so the installation is plug and play, no cutting your harness.
I'm new to riding, and have been watching F9 for tips since getting M2 certified (Ontario).
Every time I watch, I can't help but find myself thinking: Ryan should run adventure bike tours. Multi-day getaways to really get away from it all.
and he's in the right place to do it!
Would love it if you could make a video on aftermarket headlight solutions. Like difference between HID, Halogen & Led bulbs. Headlight units like the daymaker etc
Basically a video which covers motorcycle lighting.
This would be great, maybe also include projector retrofits and comment on durability/lifespans of the units themselves.
Yes pls!
^This
Projector retrofit would be nice! I put LEDs in my bike, replacing the H7's, and the beam isn't where it should be. Also LEDs "got back!" (Sir Mixalot style) and as a result my dust boots had to be sacrificed. Help!
This is kinda the last zing we need from f9 and we will know how to build our own perfect machines for cheap haha

Who else was waiting to see him pull a dildo out at the end scene 😂
Best part: the logical defending of those winter mitts ending in “So shut up” haha
I've been checking out Ryan for about a year now and I dig the guy. Excellent production... Cool stuff. I've been riding off and on road for fifty-two years I learn new things from each of the episodes. Thanks so much.
I'm not going to buy something that only lasts 548 years come on what happened to quality!
things aren't what they used to be
capitalism !
I love his look after he said that... 🤔
I can’t talk I own one! Add in an Osprey hydration pack and I can direct fill without ever taking the pack out. 😉
Bruh, u have exactly got 548 likes, damn!
Fortnine uploaded one minute ago
Finally some good content
I had to do a double read cause I thought you said Fortnite, finally some good content, I was about to reach through my screen and give you a wedgie you could taste.
ThisIsAPrettyLongUserNameWhyTheFuckWouldHeDoThatSoThatEveryoneWouldThumbsUpIt I would of deserved it if I put fortnite
Deadass tho finally good content
Actually it was over 2 months ago.
I can't get enough of this channel
The biggest weight savings I made on my old GSX1100 were ditching the stock exhaust and then ditching my girlfriend.
This dude is going to get a show on mainstream TV, just a matter of time. Super talent...he’s awesome.
As if making it on TV would be good for them.. Or us.
Total loss of control over quality, production costs skyrocketing... No more freedom on the topics. Forced, obligatory partnerships with brands, bye bye unbiased reviews.
I wish the F9 guys success, but for me, TV isn't the way.
Why would that be a good thing? Why can't we just enjoy this? How do you know this isn't exactly where he wants to be? It's hard to even fathom the simpleton child-like mind that thinks this makes sense.
7:54 - 8:08
You made me laugh so hard with "so... shut up"
I'm amazed at how you can "lightly and respectfully" break your opinion over someone's head and they're like "shit, you're right"
It's like how stupid you would look with a dirty old sleeping bag with visqueen on top draped over your shoulders ...UNLESS it was colder than shit windy and drizzling....then suddenly EVERYONE out in it would simply LUST after such as that! Probably give you every dollar in their wallet for your worthless garbage just to enjoy life again! Just to not be totally MISERABLE! ....Which riding with frozen digits IS totally MISERABLE! I have actually pulled off the road to warm my hand on the engine heat ....Which you can also do while riding with your left hand but unless you have some form of cruise control it is pretty tough to do with the throttle hand! .....I would have LOVED those hand warmers and few times in my riding career! Nothing worse than Frost bitten pingers!....no?
柊Josh 桐乃 he’s Canadian lol
So shut up! Got me right there!
So what qualifies a rider? I myself go to work with my bike for 35km a day, 5 days a week with twice a month of riding with friends and co-workers (80-100km) and I do think it's unsafe to have that warmer on my throttle. Just my opinion.
Its the same as a glove, you can get good ones and bad ones, but mostly its about getting used to it.
I think this guy has a mind of a Motorcycle
Ryan and the entire Fortnine youtube team.
Plot Twist: He is a motorcycle.
@@jerdasaurusrex557 funny thing is its just two people, ryan and his colleague. fantastic work from them
And the "noggin" to fit a Simpson Alien II carbon .....perfectly.
I think this guy has a mind of a business man that sells us products
A few additional tips about the Sawyer mini If I may. When using the Mini or any water filter for that matter, take special care to not let it freeze in cold temps as it will split the membrane inside sending it to paper weight status. I keep mine in an inside pocket next to my body.
Also while it is one of my favorite pieces of gear for hiking, riding, or the apocalypse, beware that it only filters bacteria but not viruses. On the east side of the United States where I live viruses tend to not be an issue. Well, unless some a-hole with corona empties his bladder upstream as I'm filling mine.
BONUS- It is designed to fit just about any screwcap bottle or bladder. (Minus Platypus's proprietary crap-I mean cap) And if you don't want to carry the bulky plunger to backflush it, the tip also fits perfectly in a flip top smartwater bottle cap. So keeping an extra cap tucked away is a really good idea for a few reasons. Happy Trails!
I used mine for filtering rain water in my cabin. I ended up buying a length of hose that I connected to the tap of a ten liter jug that I hang on a hook from the ceiling. Then I plug in the filter at the end and stick it into jugs for filtered water.
I lived there using it regularly for two years. Sometimes when there was no rain for months I got water from random springs I passed. It made any water taste great.
Man, I've been working on bikes for over 10 years, watched countless vids about bike up keep. Your vids are top notch. You get the info out without drowning us with nonuseful info. Thanks for some straight to the point useful info.
Truly game-changing:
- heated grips
- helmet-mounted bluetooth comms system.
Both were a big step-change in how I enjoyed the experience of any ride.
Gerhard Symons for me it was a helmet mounted Bluetooth and a usb socket on the bike for my phone charger.
Gone is the fear of getting lost without any phone battery, plus music whilst I ride :)
I tried that helmet mounted Bluetooth Comms system but I didn't have any one to talk to. Still nice to feel that you could if you found someone.
@@RantDuJour MUSIC! also GPS instructions from ur phone
bought the sena 30K because i thought i would need it 1 year ago.... listened 5 times to way too quiet and shitty audio quality music and thats it. never met anyone who had a comms system so i never used it for communicating... also i never tried the navigation feature because its annoying to me when in car. i have a phone mount for navigation. also i cant listen to music when going over 3000rpm because the sena constantly thinks im talking and talks back to me that something is not working. i recently found a use for the sena when i bought the audio back pack for my gopro... still sometimes there is no audio on the recorded footage when i am going over 3000rpm. also there are a lot of hard to fix problems on sena devices so dont ever buy sena!! buy cardo for example
but heated grips are awsome
@@bikewolf7455 I can't speak to the Sena, but I'm pretty happy with my Cardo Packtalk. I always ride with earplugs (KTM 500EXC Supermoto) and I can hear it at pretty much all speeds/RPMs, though I do have it maxed out. I'd say helmet choice matters somewhat, because the speaker location in my Bell MX-9 is way better than in my Fox Racing V1. The mic only really pics up the bike at wide open throttle. Setting up a group can feel randomly hit or miss at times, but once linked, it works really well.
"As utilitarian as Stalins eyebrows" had us really laughing out loud !!!!
Especially when they are fitted to a Gen 1 KLR, they actually update it's style by 20 years!
*Brezhnev's* eyebrows, comrades.
Here's a mod that'll save you money and make your EFI bike run on cheap pump swill, get better fuel economy, possibly perform better and definitely start easier. For all those new Harley fellas who have to pay a certified tech to try to remap your fuel injection or find a place just south of your swingarm to relocate your intake air temp sensor so your big, bad, loud pipes and cold air intake don't lean everything out so it runs like kaka- cut (yes, dammit! Cut the wire) coming from your air intake temperature sensor inside your bike's airbox or intake tract and install a 560 ohm 1/2 watt resistor (green, blue, brown) across the cut you just made. It doesn't care which way it goes.
Now wire any kind of SPST (on/off) switch *across* that resistor.
To your bike's EFI computer, high resistance at that sensor equals cold temps and wider injector pulse widths/richer mixture. Low resistance at the sensor equals hot temperatures/narrower injector pulses/leaner mixture.
560 ohms is a good starting point and the first resistor value I tried and stuck with in my '01 Kaw 1500 Vulcan.
It made the EFI think it was 40 degrees colder out than it actually was. It enabled me to use 87 octane fuel (cheaper and more volatile than high octane, so it made starting easier.) The throttle responded crisper and my fuel economy improved.
Octane measures gasoline's *resistance* to ignition (to cut down spark knock/detonation).
That way the manufacturer can make your engine run as lean as possible to comply with EPA regs. The downside is you have to use high octane fuel to avoid knocking and overheating. This mod cures that by sliding your fuel map colder and richer.
The switch across the resistor (that you can hide almost anywhere) just shorts it out so it's back to stock configuration again.
You're welcome.
You and who else?

Suggestions for something similarly adjustable that would look ok on a retro road bike?
It took me 6 months to figure out what you reminded me of... you’re the Carl Sagan of the motorcycle universe.
Rod Serling. He channels Rod Serling.
Carl whooooooo?
I replaced the 50-tooth steel rear sprocket on my little Yamaha TW200 with a 40-tooth (probably should have only gone down to 42-43 toothed sprocket), in order to spread out the gears for street riding. Aluminum, drilled-out and titanium coated, made by Sprocket Specialists. The newer sprocket weighs virtually nothing in the hand. The older steel one was like a five-pound boat anchor.
Before: Topped out at 65 MPH with lots of vibration.
After: Tops out at 80 MPH, with NO vibration, along with an ungodly increase in fuel mileage. And still operates noticeably well in the lower gears.
@@RR-dj8rt Not at all! I don't even notice anything different in the lower gears.
That, and switching to micro-size turn signals have really lightened-up the motorcycle!
I've been noticing something pretty interesting in recent months. The mighty Revzilla who used to be like "F9 who? what?" Have steadily been progressing into an F9 like format. Pretty nice compliment I'd have to say. Well done.
Yeah be noticed that too, having more personality driven content. Honestly, I don't mind the reviews, but a balance of both is nice
nobody can beat ryan and his editor. Their videos are entertainment beyond a review. Dont know many non-riders watching revzilla, ryan on the other hand...
Truth be told that’s because Ari and Zack work for revzilla now. They’ve always done their videos in a similar way and they pre-date Ryan by a decade or more.The trio IMO would make the best presenting team there is. Just like Clarkson, Hammond and May.
@@dextermeth my dream is them combining
“So shut up” hahahahaha oh man that made me choke laughing
I actually stopped the vide to see if anyone else laughed
Haha that's true. My chopper colleague used to give me a lot of crap about the comfort options on my sports tourer, but I did over 500km/week back then.
Scooter gang where you at?
37 years riding, still had takeaways from this excellent, funny, and witty video. Well done sir.
Thank you for making this video. Your enthusiasm and passion to improve not only your riding but also anybody else who rides is admirable. Good deeds.
Exceptionally good video as usual. So glad we have this channel.
More videos about mods, Ryan! It’s seriously one of the most addictive parts about owning a bike.
Your videos are entertaining and informative. Thank you. Your monologue, editing and delivery are on point. I hope we don’t lose you to bigger and better things.
The Sawyer filters are the absolute tops in my book. Bought the $50 kit with the larger Zero Point One in it and been using it for years.
The biggest game-changer is the knowledge RF9 has been dropping recently.
Such well chosen accessories made this a really great video. Thx for the tips.
Is (corona) kaal karl me hum tum kare dhamal!
Bilkul chaheye je 😁
@@anandrai6229 didnt expect to see you here
@Roberto nahi chaheye jii
Hi there, Karl.
Love your engineering knowledge / explanations and good Top Gear style humour 👍🏻 Keep it up!
Having only recently discovered this channel, I can say yours is one of the best I've ever come across in many years. Well done!
Those sprockets are made by all big companies for years like Motomaster, Vortex, Supersprox etc etc
Make sure you compare the weight of those dual-material sprockets before buying - Even though aluminum is lighter than steel, being a two-piece design means they need to use more material and I have heard some of them can actually be *heavier* than just a well-designed steel sprocket.
@@adrianbroughton9752 an all steel sprocket is the best way to go if you ask me. Strong, wears good and no issues because it's once cut and not pieces
@@tacomas9602 I did 3,5k km with this sprocket, mainly off-road, with no issues, it still looks like new, deep notches clean themselves, which is invaluable in the mud. BTW, Moose is buying this from Polish producer, rebranding increasing cost by 110% ...goddamn capitalists ;)
It doesn't say new mods dude it says gamechanging mods not trying to be a dick but I think you missed the point of the video
@@adrianbroughton9752 This is true. For example, the stock steel sprocket of a 2004 Kawasaki ZX-10R is lighter than its SuperSprox equivalent (both 39 teeth). One drawback of the aluminum "core" sprockets with the steel teeth "ring" is the sprocket is light where it matters least and is heavy where it matters most, so a static weight savings of even as much as 1 pound doesn't really mean much if that savings is towards the center. You wont even notice any performance difference from just that. Supersprox for me is more for looks, not for performance.
Sold my Ninja last year. Currently have no plans of buying another bike. I still watch and love every second of RF9.
Never had a bike, and have no intention of getting one ever... still his videos are very entertaining.
Both of y’all. Get a bike don’t matter which one. Just get one. Dirt bike, cruiser/ naked/ sport/ touring/ bobber/ chopper/ show bike/ grom or any other bike.
Just ride something boys. Even if it's a dick. Gotta enjoy riding of all types.
You can learn 99% of everything you’ll ever need to know ,should know, want to know ,don’t want to know or don’t need to know and so much more all by watching his videos one after another and they’re all extremely entertaining with a great flow.
I used to use bar muffs back in the 90s, when I was dispatch riding, and they looked even more dorky than these here.
It's amazing just how painful it can be when you fingers start to go numb and the vibrations kick in.
I remember a 400 mile day where I had to travel to Manchester from Brum, in winter, and then back again thereafter along the same route, and I'd not got bar muffs, the pain was excruciating and I almost crashed due to lack of feeling in my hands.
But crappy looking bar muffs for £40 saved my life thereafter
These videos are so good that I don't miss a single one and I have never owned a bike. F9 is crushing it.
shame you’ve only commented once though
@@milesmorales5417 as I said, I've never owned a bike so don't really have anything to say. My comments add nothing to the content so I don't tend to waste my time. Almost all are in my liked video though.
@@milesmorales5417 i make 1 comment and some dick head tries to belittle me. Why on earth would I comment regularly?
I love your videos bud. I started really riding this season and you've helped me get on 2 wheels safely and comfortably. Keep up the great work man 👍
I'm not a motorbike dude, came here for the Goretex comparison and I'm legit enjoying your content. This is great, keep it up man!
I am REALLY loving these kind of videos and the mods you present here are gold! Thank you
Another informative and entertaining video. Thank you Ryan and crew for the excellent writing and production. FortNine hasn’t posted as frequently as last year and I’ve missed them. Again, very well done.
Can't help but admire your knowledge, effort and humour put into your clips. Big thumbs up from Australia 👍
FortNine - something I learned from the phone installation industry. When cutting your Tie-Wraps use the smooth flat end of the wire dykes down towards the lil lock and the curved end up toward the piece you are removing. Give a tug and cut. This will let the Tie go slightly back into the hole, and not leave a short jaggy piece popping up for you to cut your hands on.
This is my second video watching. Youve done a fantastic job. I get a Top gear/GT sense of the video. I love it. Thank you!!!!!
Can't wait to see a full production of this show on amazon!
Always worth a watch. You make incredibly informative videos and I always learn something new!
7:54 I would listen to an entire audio book narrated in this voice
I liked this video so much (both format and content), and I appreciate its closing was quick & sober.
Ryan is by far, the best vlogger.
I had Shorai and it gave me a peace of mind during the winter when I left the bike sitting in the garage. It started without a problem after several months.
This is the second video of yours I'm watching. Bro, it's magnificent the way you present this channel. Congratulations
Supersprox have been making those sprockets for years, always put them on my bikes.
7:27 here in Brazil this is called a 'handlebar glove'.
Yes, it is ugly, but after using it, regret not having used it before.
Very true. It works well in tropical countries to help your hand away from getting steamed inside your glove.
Never saw those around here (br hue here)
Because of this video I invested in some bar risers being 6’3 and it stand alone the best mod I’ve done to my bike, it helped with comfort,control,steering sensitivity and vibrations, and my riding position it’s changes everything I’m so happy with em
Just watched 2017 F9's vid, suddenly sees another one...and still fresh. Man this is a good day.
When I was in Korea, every local who rode a scooter had those oven mittens for protectors. At first I thought them exotic, but I soon realized the genius ingenuity behind them. Wouldn’t mind a pair myself
I love this channel. As a fellow Canadian that lives over the 55th. The winter stuff helps a lot.
You are educating us,you are humorous,funny in a good way well others say it better. It is so much fun watching this channel,good job well done thx Ryan
I liked the video before the ad allowed me to "Skip Ad". Ryan again delivering us some fabulous Motorcycle goodness.
"scaring children" made my day! :D :D
that laugh though lol
Two budget alternative ideas:
Ryde Angled Universal Motorcycle Mirrors are about £80 cheaper than doubletake . not as good at all, but they fold in quickly and with rubber washers solves any vibration problems and if somehow you do manage to break them its cheep as chips to get a new set.
Heated seats can be made on a budget with a £15 reptile heat mat a switch and a bit of DIY electronic silks.
Awesome video ! cant wait for the one on Lithium Power!
Quality videos man. I love to watch them even ones that I don't personally need to know about just for the shear quality.
5:38 That is not a fuse box, that is a relay.
That's what i thought when i seen that lol
Hey potatoes and oranges. Apples and tomatoes. Give the guy a break
Love the channel, good info good vibes. I think I have watched this a few time.
😊 . Thanks Man. Undoubtably the most informative and humorous on YT.
Keep it up!
Thanks; I have gone back and reviewed your videos / reviews for information on products and purchases many times. Thanks again, you always do a great job. Well, most of the time, don't get a big head.
this is my favorite subscription I have... I've never even been offroad or on a duel sport I ride a Harley ( like an uncultured swine I know) but God is this channel great with info and just enough humor to not be dry. good job keep it up
THANKS MAN .
I don't even ride but love his videos.It is like watching an abstract instruction for living the good life.
your way of explanation of things and your choice of words just bought urself another subscriber :D
Having a Dooryard full of Dresser bikes after a 15 year break, Ive been checking things out, Love your channel and common sensical way you approach each item, Great work God Bless and Rubber side down !!
I desperately wait for the uploads man.
Love the content by Fortnine 😊 Love from Pakistan.
I don’t know why it meant so much when Ryan said thank you so much for watching. Anytime bro, anytime
dude you are absolutey awesome ! I LOVE the presentation and the video style ! keep it up, it's awesome ! And for old-worlders like me the °C and KPH makes it a lot easier.
This youtube channel is simple the best ones, because each opinions/reviews have excellent arguments. Just perfect!
I find under-the-bars mirrors (very short mount, near where your thumbs can reach) work surprisingly well on SM/dirt bikes, and are much less likely to get taken out. I'd think they'd work on most ADV too, but not on anything with clip-ons or a lot of bodywork in that area.
In the US you are required to have mirrors above the handle bars. And the law is the most common reason people have mirrors on dirt bikes in the first place.
"Not soooo, my fellow cheap bastards!"
- Subbed
blown away. improvements that would have made my life easier years ago. just brilliant
I’m loving all these mods.
Thanks for the suggestions and reviews.

Regarding the analogue to digital screen setup, I'd be way more interested in a digital to analogue instrument cluster adapter.
I don't even have a real bike but man do I love your content.
XD
I'm sure you'll get one soon
@@ncgsc Ohh nono I could get one if I wanted to, the thing is i'm more of a cage man and have too many of those already.
I have this electric scooter thing that's pretty much a two wheel golf kart (i.imgur.com/I8FE28t.jpg) I use for errands around town, I got it because it uses huge tires (18x9.50-8) and I have to traverse dirt roads often. I'd like to put a Honda GX160 on it when the hub motor claps out but i'm having trouble finding a spot for correct chain placement and not having suspension at all concerns me & my nuts a lil'.
my guy! this guy knows how to make a video... entertaining and informative is an understatement. absolutely awesome
These are some really good ideas. I'm glad that I found this video. Well done Ryan.
last time I was this early, Ryan was smashing a bike on a rock
@ nine minutes ago, already 15k views!!!! another excellent video, simple, to the point and really good mods!!!!
I bought the Sawyer Mini filter after watching this video to add to my adventure mountain biking kit. Thanks for the recommendation!
My man you are a real king, thank you for all the videos.
Love that lofi music at the end
FortNine mixtape jams. Available on audio cassette and 1/4" reel to reel.
Dylan Sitts - Still Trying
Why do i get this "voice of gods"feeling , each time FortNine pops a new "brainfart" ? :D
Awesome stuff - as always - keep it up, pleeeease! :)
great video. I've been catching your vids off and on for years but only just subbed. Should have done long time ago. You definitely deserve more subs!
that filter is the one i use up on long hikes. works great and the water tastes amazing
Add Tank Grip (TechSpec are my fav!) and Pivot PegZ to that list to make it (almost) complete!
I did the Pivot Pegs on my DR-Z 400 and regret it. Hillclimbing? You're in the backseat and fighting to get your weight forward because your feet are rolled aft. Downhill is the same issue in reverse. The surface area to stand on is massive though and it's all day comfortable for riding the fire roads. Just wish I'd paid half as much for static pegs.
Great, just when I thought "That's finally it for all my bike mods"... hahaha neeexxxtt
I have the Oxford mitts on my bikes, they are a total game changer! I paired them with Oxford heated grips and man I will never have another bike with out them. Even With winter gloves I eventually get cold soak and have to stop riding, but it went from 30 minutes, to several hours of riding before it became an issue
Outstanding tips, viciously presented. Thanks so much for posting.
Damn son. I remember couple years ago you had around 12K subs. Now over 500K! Keep up the great content Ryan. :)
*Looks eagerly joyful into camera*
You can purify your drinking water for 548 years.
that confused look away from the camera killed me
THANK YOU Ryan for discovering RAM mounts to me. They are totally a life changer. I was so tired of cheapo smartphone mounts with a zip tie and weak mounting systems. I got a X ram mount and it is badass and way more convenient.
Fun fact: 2 months ago someone tried to steal the mount on the community parking. I have the anti theft knob and they tried first by hand (the metal of the "X" was warped) and then even tried with pliers (scratch marks) on the base and they were unable to take it. Sturdy as hell. I just straightened the bent flaps and good to go again.
Always a quality input.Thanks
