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

[tlita]

Respect for not cutting that drop out of the video 🙂‍↔️

[pratmak]

11:07 seeing that drop was like a jumpscare to me, felt like I dropped my own bike 🤣

[LilYellowDog]

Much respect for leaving the drop in the vid

11:05 oh 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)

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 😅

See everyone? Proof that, regardless of your experience, everyone makes mistakes. It's ok to make mistakes, as long as you learn from them.

Ohhhh I felt that <spoiler alert> right through the heart. I feel for you on that one.

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. .

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.

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.🤘😎🏍

[inferninx]

Man, that exhaust tip looks so freakin cool.

[icemuppet]

almost did this exact same drop today, on the gsx 8r ... i did the akraprovic exhaust, airbox mod and 2wheeldyno ecu mod. its perfect.

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!

[dealer]

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!

[dieterich]

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.

[jmcgriddle]

Bro, I can't believe you dropped my bike :). Exhaust sounds awesome.

[KarlBuckley-bwvc]

From now on I'll be triple checking the kickstand on my Streetfighter V4S 😮

[edmundofndz]

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.

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.
