Fmf's car buying techniques Videos

+Bradley Batt Should work with any nickel plated pipe

+mugget Indeed :)

+Jimmy Rim Also at Wal-mart in the car rim area.

+Jimmy Rim You can find this polish on Ebay

+Dan Evers No sir have not

+DirtBike Rider pm me some aswel

It worked :D ill pm you some photos 

+DirtBike Rider  If it is not too aggressive it will work fine, try a test spot maybe

I mostly used a polishing wheel on an electric motor

ok cool thanks

You can buy it at canadian tire for 9.99

ok thatnks

I don't remember price but you should be able to find it on Ebay

I haven't.  Although at this point all it has is exhaust.  I'm finally getting an EBR ECU on it soon and will do the intake mod, also want to do a little something to the radiator pods, but there's nothing too crazy with it.

+Adam Witthauer I never really noticed the XB vibrating anyway..unless its just sitting there idling. 

There was a recall for the charging system that was related to heat, but they fixed that with a software update.  AFAIK that's the only thing that could be considered an "electrical nightmare" compared to any other Buell, as they're all fuel injected anyway.  If anything I'd expect more long-term electrical reliability from an 1125, as they suffer a crap ton less vibration.

The bike is an absolute blast.  About the size and weight of a 600, performance of a 750, and the most beautiful exhaust note ever.  I haven't had any problems with it, but there was a factory recall on the stator.  If you are looking at a specific bike, a Harley dealer can look up if the recall was done with the VIN.

+Ski Bum Nobody in the history of racing has observed engines making more power at higher altitude, but it's generally accepted that when short shifting and not going WOT, engines make less power (just a theory, bear with me).Why "do" I short shift the first three gears and not go WOT?  That would assume that this video is representative of my entire riding style in every instance.  I didn't this time because I'm on county road E26, and up to 100 mph I'm just getting comfortable on the controls.  In fact, you can see an odd drop in rpm in about 3rd gear where I adjusted my grip.  Although I generally don't ever go WOT in 1st or 2nd gear, as it is impossible to keep the front tire down then, even leaned fully forward on the CR's aggressive clubman bars.As for why it doesn't pull hard to 160, it's because it's nearly topped out (actual top speed is about 165).  As a general rule, if any vehicle pulls hard to redline in top gear, it is geared too short.  Eric Buell did a pretty good job of picking final drive ratios, with the 1125CR geared to redline at 165, and the more aerodynamic 1125R geared to about redline about 177.

+Adam Witthauer Sorry for the confusion.  Thanks for posting this video.  It was rather educational.  I watched your video to determine how a CR performs at low altitude.  My gut feeling is that your bike accelerates slower at low altitude than mine does at 10,000 feet (10.5 psi of air pressure and a 25% drop in output).I did not mean that 160 mph is "lifeless".  I was referring to your engine's lack of power when it's wound up.  I suppose my question is "why do you short shift 1st through 3rd?"  My optimum shift point is around 10 to 10.5k.  Is it just habit?  Does the bike wheelie?  I also was suggesting that your bike doesn't run well at high engine rpm's.  It's most likely a poor map in your ecu.  I got to compare a stock bike to mine  and it's a big difference with a tuned ecu, exhaust and k&n filter.  

Yes, I did short shift the first three gears...not sure if you had a point behind that, but this is county road E-26, not Isle of Man.  A tuned ECU is in the works, but I don't expect much top end out of that, especially since it's basically out of rpms at 165 anyway. Just had to lol at the idea of a naked bike being referred to as "lifeless" at 160 mph.  Trust me, there is nothing lifeless about going 160 without a windshield.  Tucking as low behind the gauges as you can, stabbing neck pain from wind loading on your helmet sets in at 165.  And frankly the scenery is moving so fast at that point that there aren't many roads where it's not outright suicidal to attempt it on.  It's a bit different than watching a video.Yes, there are bikes that go 200+.  Yes, there are tracks where you can go 200+.  That's not what this is.

+ColtDeltaElite10mm i do the same too.... especially when welding stainless steel. Those slag will come at ya

Hate to break the news to you son, but us professionals do wear clear safety glasses under the hood, junior. Especially when stick or flux core welding because the slag can pop off while cooling and/or when chipping the slag off with the chipping hammer. Whadya new???

+Tommy Martin as does your grammar

+MyMIXmedia why are you still alive?

+Salem Hardan Use flux core wire.

+Kim Chi Yes it will... the weld just wont be shielded causing instant corrosion and a bad weld.

+Salem Hardan - Won't weld without gas.

Any weld with Mig/Mag will penetrate less if you push it but very marginal difference, with thin metal like exhaust pipe always weld it incline & vertical down and this will help with reducing penetration.

+Bob Smith Oh yes, then spend 2000 repairing the damages without labor. Haha nice one.

+SilentSniper Turn the car over on it's roof, dumbass!

move around. I work in exhaust industry and you have to move around and sometimes weld where you can not see it takes way more skill than welding on the table I did that when I was learning as a 12 year old and just for a week. now after so many years you learn tricks

take it off...

Thanks for the share Gazza. I think another issue as well is suitable parking.Where I live there is no where for me to leave a car unless I fancy leaving it down a road which is off a road, by a road across from my road... Urgh. Haha

You'd be surprised how many weapons you can conceal under the pillion seat.......none. There's feck all space. I need panniers.

Onto a train? Sod that :\ Just not worth it for the few moments of rubbishy weather when it will be handy and or trafficking stuff/people/narcotics/arms

+Ducati Guy well if you send me a PM on FB or through the Termi Page I am free until Wed, I get back to the UK tomorrow afternoon.

Can do that if you want matey, won't be the 1098s though as that is still in pieces and will be for a while hahahaha..ha * cries * Yeah I remember, before Facebook kicked me off :P

MotoVlogger*

ja myślałem żeby wjechać do myjni zetem. :)

+jessie sims Yeah, I hear you. Most guys who rail on the 2 strokes have never ridden a big bore (250 and up) 2 stroke.

haha yeah.

+Alistair Mcgown Different strokes for different folks, right?

+Tyler M Fair enough. 125 two strokes need to be revved out all the time, so they wear out much faster. 250 and 300 2 strokes are a totally different animal. Glad you have a bike you enjoy. That's what it's all about. I own a 450 4 stroke and a 300 two stroke at the time I' writing this, so I know a bit about the topic :) Thanks for watching Tyler!

+Dirt Bike Channel I go long miles those roughly 1000 in 2 weeks 125s arnt good 2 stroke motors and I prefer 450 4 stroke way less maintenance more reliable and uses less gas and go longer distance I guess every rider has there own bike they prefer

+Tyler M You blow up your bikes after 50 hours? What bikes have you done that with? Just curious. I have put more than 100 hours on multiple top ends on my bikes with no issues. Let me know. We can have a civil dialog about it :)

+Dirt Bike Channel i have compared both i used to own a 2stroke 125cc kawasaki gto and now i have honda cg 125cc but kawasaki gto runs more fast than honda 125cc 4stroke

+RAJA AWAIS Can't argue that when you compare cc to cc on them.

Your guess is a hit and miss, I do spend a little time on 2 strokes but I do get and feel the difference. I watched up to episode 5 where tides finally began to turn, but still its is still pretty bias. Don't get me wrong as a 4 stroke fanboy, 2 stroke are good,light, jump and kicks like a mule. But in my opinion its a fuel devouring machine as fuel constantly running which makes its stalls less easier than 4 strokes.(opinion on episode 3 or 4 I think)

+Zack Stark My guess is that you don't have much time on a modern big bore 2 stroke and that you didn't watch all 6 parts to this series.

+Ernie Desjardins Those sportsmans are like 850 lbs. I know because I have the 850 version for my wife. Heavy beasts!

+Ernie Desjardins Thanks for chiming in. You've had a lot of bikes!
