Just a little drop on the GSX8R 🙃 new clutch lever ordered and will be installed. Get entered to win at yammienoob.co - time is running out!
Definitely appreciate the honesty you could have edited that out but didn’t. We love the true content. Great work papa yamm
What no new fairing too??
Where can I buy this exhaust?
11:07 seeing that drop was like a jumpscare to me, felt like I dropped my own bike 🤣
I hate the sound of plastics hitting the ground, makes me cringe re-watching it hahaha
Its a fact Yammie is just as clumsy as all of us 🤣 The bump or two from the drop just gives it character. Love the videos man
I'm glad he didn't edit it out.
What no new fairing too??
Respect for not cutting that drop out of the video 🙂↔️
11:05 oh maaaaaaan. This is why I have OCD about my kickstand. Every single time: push it all the way - get off the bike - push it again - pull the bike back a bit just in case (optionally: repeat the steps 3 more times, optionally 2: don't get off the bike at all)
ill have OCD from now on after watching this vid 😭 how that happened it looked all the way engaged 😭
RIght? Man you can even see in the clip I triple checked! Sometimes it happens lmao
@@yammienoobjust parked my GSX-8R and checked the stand multiple times, biking is stressful 😂
Also, crash sliders? I don't think I could own a bike without one
In option 2: How does it sleep on your bike? 🤔😴😴
Ohhhh nooooo... I felt that right through the heart. I feel for you on that one.
At least it was this and not that triumph speed triple 1200 ....
that mic on the bike is spiky as hell
Yeah, never using it again. Sad my other mic crapped out right before I left!
Thank you much for moddin my bike yam. I just put tires, chain n sprockets, grips, painted the wheels, adjusted the valves, n rebuilt the carbs on my katana. I had to put a new pipe on it too. So Im glad I don't have to put all that on this one.
Got my 1st bike 2 months ago and dropped it for the 1st time today. Had it up on a rear stand changing the oil, finished and lowered the bike and forgot to put the kickstand back down 😅
doh.
Much respect for leaving the drop in the vid
I grew up in Ohio riding dirt bikes and have since taken MSF BRC and ARC courses, both California superbike school and Yamaha Campions school track days, and I STILL get nervous on technical roads that I know I have the skills for. What you experience is common to all rides and those of us humble enough to admit it understand that we learn and grow from getting out of our comfort zone. Great job, and I hope you had a blast!
Man, that exhaust tip looks so freakin cool.
2WHeels did the flash on my R7 for a full Akro race system and a Yoshimura airbox and the bike came to life, pulls nicely all the way to 100MPH now.🤘😎🏍
The bike looks insane, sounds insane as well🔥🔥
From now on I'll be triple checking the kickstand on my Streetfighter V4S 😮
I dropped my SV650X yesterday, trying to inch forward to have visibility when entering a busy main street...this makes me feel better 😁
Happy someone put a exhaust install video for this bike. I like to do some research before changing parts on any vehicle. I tried putting my akropovic exhaust on my 8r the other day but stopped when i thought i had to take the radiator off, i can do it but it was cloudy and and might have rained and i have to do it outside happy i might not have take that radiator off now
A long Allen wrench with a ball head does the trick on that bolt.
Also, you can do this by only removing the bottom right plastic.
I had to remove the upper fairing too, i probably could have done it without removing it but it made the install of the Akraprovic system a lot easier since i was by myself. i ended up using a 4mm hex on a swivel long neck to get to that bolt. I too found these bolts to be extremely challenging regardless,...
Fair play to keeping the drop in the edit :-) Have the GSX-8R in mind for my next bike either end of year or start of next. Ticks all my boxes apart from the exhaust so totally looking to replace exhaust so thanks for the vid.
Current dream bike for me! Just don't change the color! That yellow is perfect
Thank you for showing how to do this stuff. I'm following along.
12:03
See everyone? Proof that, regardless of your experience, everyone makes mistakes. It's ok to make mistakes, as long as you learn from them.
Well I bought a yellow GSX8R did the same exact thing. Broke the clutch lever and it has the exact same marks on my bike. BTW the Suzuki levers are awesome!
almost did this exact same drop today, on the gsx 8r ... i did the akraprovic exhaust, airbox mod and 2wheeldyno ecu mod. its perfect.
How long it take to remove old exhaust and install new one?
@@bigalthecrusher - if you have the 8R and do the swap it took about 4 hours. just because you have to take off the entire lower and upper fairings on the right side of the bike. the instructions are for the 8s and that would be much easier. it went back together very well. sounds better than this as well.
I would imagine they recommend an aftermarket style air filter rather than "modding" an OEM one no?
Fired up my 1976 honda super sport in gear and it took off down the driveway and thankfully had a nap on my lawn.
OMG .. I totally did that exact thing at a gas station with my 8R! Wow! That kickstand spring really needs to be a bit beefier.
dude, me too... i didnt drop it because i was on that side still, yours take any damage/
Gorgeous bike!
I rode down to Ski shores down those roads yesterday on my GSX-8R!
Crazy how far we have come in audio quality!
Brilliant honest video dude❤
every new bike gets blessed sooner or later
I'm not a sport bike guy, but that Leo Vince system gives it a nice bark.
Dropped mine and broke the clutch lever too, I seized the opportunity and refer to the clutch lever as a "custom shorty lever" now haha
My Aprilia was a tight fit to get that middle bolt also. I feel ya.
Bro, I can't believe you dropped my bike :). Exhaust sounds awesome.
One thing I’ve noticed with every bike I’ve owned, no matter how careful you are you’re GOING to drop it atleast once😂
absolutely ! I just dropped my Busa about the exact same way you dropped the give away bike.
I need this exhaust for mine.
Now that is much much better. Makes me want one now 😅😅
The bike look so cool.
Out of all these cross plane parallel twins the TRX 850 with pipes still sounds the best.
That's why you should ALWAYS turn the handlebars all the way to one side, and pull back on them, before assuming the bike won't roll when it's in neutral. Granted the kickstand is a complicated device that requires decades of experience to operate properly.
Still trying to figure that devilish kickstand out...
@@yammienoob People wanna see the way shit really goes. Don't ever edit out life. It's the only truth we have.
Hey love the videos. Great knowledge. Keep it up. However i need some help in regards to advice. Just getting into riding and dont have a bike as of yet. Wanting to take the MSF course but in the city nearest me (about 45 minutes away) its booked out for the entire year. Just got off the phone with the HD dealership in said same city and they dont have their training there either. In fact was told to just ride until a class opens up. To me that sounds kinda sketch. What would be a good recourse or other options?
I'm pretty sure a 1/4 in drive lowpro ratchet with hex bit would work
Sounds great! How long it take to install the exhaust?
Hey Yammie - great videos... Please tell your followers that when changing the O2 sensor over to the new pipe, NEVER touch the sensor with your fingers, or anything. Skin oils (invisible stuff) will burn on the sensor causing incorrect values being sent to the ECU, and could cause running issues. We always install new sensors if we suspect the owner has done a DIY job, and held the sensor in their bare hand. I always hold a sensor in a new microfibre, until it's tightened in.
wipe the header down with alcohol to remove fingerprints before first start up. I wiped mine down with wd40 after the alcohol and it turned out a nice golden color. can only see a few inches of it on the 8r tho lol
After all this time, leaves the wheel straight with the kickstand? Turn the bars all the way to left
Since I'm pretending to own a Suzuki GSX 8S (I'm not even kidding) this video has been very useful to watch. (My 22 year old SV650 is well past it's best so I'm imagining that I've replaced it with an 8S). I was thinking that the 8S just needed to sound better and produce a bit more power and torque to completely sort it and then I found this video. I can't wait to fire my new Suzuki up and take it for a ride! Yehaaa!!! With it's mods it now goes and sounds great!. OK, it happens to the best of us, and it happened to me too but making us wait to hear how good it sounds and then putting this video out with terrible sound quality has just contributed to my mental health problems. .
I have an sv & 8s. You won’t want to ride the sv anymore.
Is that a giveaway bike that took a tumble lol. It happens bro, no sweat
I have a yellow Honda Fury this would be awesome to have
Great bike think I like the Naked 8S version better .
wont lie that exhaust might have made want this over a mt07/r7 😅
I definitely didnt use a similar drop as an excuse to cut the bent section out of the lever and polish it to look somewhat like an intentional shorty.
I dumped my H2 the 2nd week I owned it trying to park it facing forward (like my Goldwing, that has a reverse gear !!!) -Had to holler at a neighbor to lift her up as it had no bump's installed yet
Sounds a lot better
Didn't see any anti-seize used. Where to buy all these cool parts? Mic drop! Glad you got that out of the way..😬
Actually sounds good
I want an 8R but I don't want to go through all this effort. I'll think I'll get mine with the optional arrow exhaust and call it a day. I'm on a GSR 750 now, which is my first bike, but I need the extra confidence the 8R gives me.
How much weight loss from old to new exhaust system?
As expected it made the bike a whole lot smoother and a bit faster too. Emissions stuff man..
Oops, kudos for leaving it in. I have 8s I take it the lv would fit that too?
I'll take that bike now that you dropped it from the kickstand. It'll match my 22 ninja 650 haha.
Being a Suzuki I'm really surprised it started after that drop. 😂 Usually have to pull out a paper clip 📎. Iykyk
when is the last day to enter for the giveaway 8R?
I've ahd 3 bikes in my 14 years of owning a license do ride motorcycles (sidenote, I never had any other license except big bikes so no mopeds no 125 cc nothing). And I've never ever dropped one. Not a single time. I've crashed but not dropped one. Great vid, next time double check where you put that thing Yammie NOOB xD
I love how he said that he despises working on fully faired overly complicated bikes, but he always is talking about how all the new bikes with new tech. are the best. 🤔
Just had that happen to me. Thankfully for my bike, my dads car was right next to it. Not thankfully for my dads car, it now has a dent and some scratches 😂 (it's got issues and hasn't been driven in a few months so it's all good)
I felt that drop in my soul, a few months ago i was going through a low speed roundabout in first gear and my bike stalled and just came to a dead stop but my body didnt, dropped the bike infront of a bunch of people smh , it does happen to the best of us
Hi Yammie, i want to do te airbox mod too but i am concerned about water entering there since where i live it rains alot.
What are your thoughts?
Thank you
Crash protection first > any other mods, now all we can do is laugh about it, but the fairings didnt crack, thats a good one
It’s strange I have seen a lot of negative quick-shifter down comments on US based reviews however the UK reviews all praise the shifter up and down… is there a difference with US/UK bike specs ?
Can someone tell me why the bike send smoke not because the exhaust was new it send smoke .I put a full aporvic system on my kawasaki z750 an it never send smoke up to now on cold start or not my motorcycle doesn't smoke .
Is the warranty still good?
Suzy got sick of the boys' clubhouse talk 😂
just for the record :P if your mic ever dies like that again xD wait for a new one :P had to stop half way thru the vid, cus your mic was blowing my speakers :D looking forward to next vid
Hey guys forgive me if im being totally dumb, im new to the whole bike thing, but i was wondering can you just put a slip on exhaust on the gsx8r for a better sound or do you have to change the full exhaust?
A slip on is just the end piece (basically the muffler part) of the exhaust so as long as you don't mess with the headers, you'll be fine and won't have to tune your bike
So on the website did you just order the one for the GSX-8s ? Because I don’t see the one for 8r
I have the same bike, you have to really push kick stand out. It needs help all the way. I lubed it and it really didn’t help.
If I would do the airbox stage2 mod & new airfilter, does the bike need to be tuned/flashed?
I would expect so. Your bike would be intaking more air into the system so you would need a tune to account for that. You could probably get away with not tuning the bike but understand that it will lose a bit of power and burn more fuel as a result.
What kinda mods did u have to do to make it fit?
Love that bike, wish I could win but..Guess I'll just have too buy it when I don't win. Either way, keep doin what ya doin. Great job..well minus the oops.
Man I bought this hike recently but I can’t figure out which exhaust to get, any time I search by bike nothing pops up! So which Leo Vince is this? Cause I need it
Would this be the same for the v strom 800de?
Hello, where can I get that full exhaust?
Been waiting for this! I hope i win this beautiful bike but congrats to whoever wins it!
I'm told the akropivic exhaust is plug n play and no need to flash the ECU 🤔
Yam dang the gsx8
Quick shifter smooths a lot after oil change. It did on the V Strom 800
I believe you. But why? What causes this?
@@JohnnieVI dont know but I can also confirm that the quickshifter on my VStrom is 10x better after I did my first oil change at the 1000km service
@@brudda-py2dg good to hear.
@@JohnnieV I'd just like to add that using the quickshifter from 1st gear to 2nd is always clunky, that didn't go away. The only way for it not to be clunky is if you accelerate really hard in 1st gear and shift up at higher RPMs.
But from 2nd gear onwards it is very smooth. Likewise when downshifting. I usually just use my clutch to shift from 1st to 2nd and thats it (unless im accelerating hard)
@@brudda-py2dg thanks. Can you use the clutch when in QS mode?
Yes well, as a car mechanic, I can tell you that European car manufacturers really don't want people fixing their cars either... what they want is for it to be more cost effective to buy a brand new car after 5 years and not fix the old one!
question though, if I were to have an electric 3/8's ratchet, and the bits to fit the bolt head, would it physically fit in the gap? (personally I would still drain the radiator, remove at least one of the hoses, and push the radiator out of the way (after I've wrapped cardboard around it)
another thing I would do slightly different, if there is no plug and the wires are long enough, is wind the O2 sensor into the collector before putting the collector on, I'd nip it up in place though.
can I suggest you emphasize having everything together and loosely bolted, so it can be in line perfectly before tightening any of the bolts? and a paint pen on the bolt heads & what it is bolted to, so a quick glance can tell you if it ever tries to back out, as well as, knowing for sure that it is tight without having to go back and spanner check it when you finish... not just to look professional, but for your own peace of mind, and to know if someone else has messed with it after you have!
A cheap loot that will be of great help... a door trim removing tool, trust me it's very versatile, not just for doors, but any plastic clips, popping spark plug leads off the plug, small hoses off pipes and separating the mesh from the air filter without causing any damage. it will quickly become one of your favourite tools!
the mesh on the end of the pipe whistles...
Any PN for that exhaust. Lv shows the S not the R or is that universal to the two?
Just from the video it looks like it has way more pep than the MT07 going to higher speeds.
dude I dropped my r125 just like this today and I am still mad about it lol. This just hurt my soul
my Gen 3 Busa FeLL because of too easy/soft Kick-Stand as it doesn't come with a Spring ... we don't get the feedback if it's Locked or has moved an inch or 2 away from its locked position in which the bike can be safely parked without danger of falling. If you mistakenly touch the stand with foot/feet while moving the bike forward or backward during parking, the bike will invariably fall. It's a known issue with Suzuki ... at least newer models... so, confirm if the stand is locked before leaving or resting the bike on it.
Wow, you can't give a scuffed bike away. I'll be glad to come get it. Just send a message😂
The manufacturer that allows for easy modification wins, the manufacturer that makes it difficult won’t sell motorcycles. End of conversation. The best bikes are built like legos.
It's a nice thought but I think the entire automobile industry proves otherwise
Ya.... that opinion is not backed by sales numbers lol
Has the motorcycle been given away yet?
There was a guy on CZcams that upgraded his with a different exhaust and put it on the dyno and got 86hp.
This or a Street Triple 675r?
