Tuning up the F4i

[4Blobert4]

this video just went to my favorites lol, did you change the tires or did you have them done? and how much sprockets and the chain cost?

[ZMagic97]

@4Blobert4 I had someone do the tires: I just dropped the rims off. The kit (vortex sprockets and RK chain) was about $160.

[x0druid0x]

dosent look like you went larger in the back or smaller in the front on your sprockets. What brand are them? I ask cuz i got a 2006 F4I and I got a two brothers full exhaust, Power commander, Scotts Damper, and braided brake lines. What would be some other mods to get a lil more juice out of the engine?

[SSbalt707]

so envious of your garage, and set up in general. awesome working environment.

[ZMagic97]

@SSbalt707 Thanks! I don't live there anymore so I have a smaller garage but 1/2 of it is dedicated to work like this.

[da9illest821]

Do you have a video without music for this walk through? and how much did this upgrade cost you?

[Jay626j]

Mine will be going down soon for lots of much needed maintenance. Clutch rear brakes chain and sprockets plugs a good cleaning and new wheel bearings front and rear. Oh and dyno tune.

[Jay626j]

I wish my F4i was that clean.

[ZMagic97]

@Jay626j Takes a lot of work to keep it this clean. I have it partially tore down for tuning up right now too and a lot of cleaning is involved.

[mapukmapuk]

i just want this BIKE!

[Ayabrego]

Would love to know how much insurance is for you!

[ZMagic97]

@Ayabrego $240 a year

[kobi8231]

@ZMagic97 wow (nice!). for full? which company? and how many years of experience do u have?

[ZMagic97]

@kobi8231 No, just property and liability through Progressive. I have around 5 years experience.

[kobi8231]

@ZMagic97 wow (nice!). for full? which company? and how many years of experience do u have?

[brainfreeze4u]

Very clean, you allergic to rain? :)

[civictunerz]

That is an awesome song! Who is the artist?

[LightningMAS]

get some chicken strips off it too  ;)

[LightningMAS]

NEVER use an impact gun on tightening the front sprocket on.. You can damage your transmission... You have to torque spec it.

[curtmastor]

@LightningMAS plus one. that goes for anything really on cars or bikes. always torque wrench it on. Let nascar pit crews fasten nuts with air guns lol

[imnotftw]

how do you afford all your stuff? you must have a good job or rich parents haha.

[tuna4747]

thanks and do you have any vids of the ducati

[ZMagic97]

@tuna4747 No, just the unveiling one for now.

[tuna4747]

thank you .ya when i turn 16 iam going to try to get a motorcycle and and vlog like you and rebelyell . hos that ducati been treating you

[chinezyxx]

I love this type of videos ! Awesome !

[tuna4747]

dude love your vids . just wanted to know what age were you when you started riding a motorcycle and how many motorcycles you have owned

[ZMagic97]

@tuna4747 I got my first dirtbike, a 1979 XR 175 at 15, 2004 DRZ-400 at 17, again at 17 a 2006 Ninja EX250, Got my F4i at 18, and now at 19 I just got my 2001 Ducati 748. I still own the F4i and Ducati.

[funksta818]

dude great song, any other great ones you can think of i should download?

[ZMagic97]

@funksta818 By this band or in general?

[funksta818]

@ZMagic97 in general i'm looking for some new stuff to download

[dafobra]

hey Z.. what make are those stands? I'm leanin towards the TRex stands, but those seem to be doing alright by you.

[ZMagic97]

@havedogwillscooter Haha I'm a gear head.

[ZMagic97]

@AndyCorrosive Woo hoo!

[ZMagic97]

@DJCipster4BREAKS Thanks Cip!

[ZMagic97]

@DucatiS2R1000S Haha, thanks. More to come.

[ZMagic97]

@uspatriot100 Thanks!

[SuperDrake79]

Nice so how do you like the -1 Front? That's pretty good on giving a little more low end power but might hurt your odo by 6-8%. Can you tell a difference?

[ZMagic97]

@SuperDrake79 It's still a stock front.

[SuperDrake79]

@ZMagic97 hmm, i counted 16, which is what I remember being stock and your new had 15. Oh well looks great!

[ZMagic97]

@SuperDrake79 I believe stock is 16, but I can be wrong.

[zx6roy]

Very cool editing,  I love working on motorcycles!

[ZMagic97]

@zx6roy Thanks, me too!

[Elysiom]

Using vortex I'm guessing you went down a few teeth... if so how is the highway gearing?

And no replacement cam chain tensioner yet?! I replaced mine at 10k with a Honda OEM and are getting ready to replace it again with a manual CCT at 15k the stupid buzzing is embarrassing

[ZMagic97]

@Elysiom No, stayed stock for highway usage.

Nope, tension is going strong still.

[louie111887]

hey did you use different sized sprockets or just replaced stock ? dude ive been following you since you had your ninja. off topic btw. i love your camaro too ! never sell that modern classic !

[ZMagic97]

@louie111887 Nope, stock size. And thanks, I still have it!

[rynoride]

Nice man. I dig the new wheels. My CBR is running 525, bought it like that. Is 520 stock or did you just convert it? I have always ran Regina chains, do the RK's perform pretty well? Stretch pretty bad, or just the normal break-in stretching?

[ZMagic97]

@rynoride 525 is stock, but a 520 has the tensile strength to do the job with no problems. Also, 520's are much easier to get. The RK's are awesome. Normal stretching.

[therats2270]

any upgrades or just maintenance?

[ZMagic97]

@therats2270 Just maintenance. 

[aapinator]

Hey that's funny! I remember you from rebelyell's video's. Sick bike man.

[ZMagic97]

@aapinator Thanks!

[potts1588]

Your bike is fucking sick and the flames make it look much better then before

[ZMagic97]

@potts1588 Thank you!

[FirstXRS]

2:31 FOR SHAME. You know better than that. Unless we can't see the string you used, then I apologize for my outburst.

And didn't you just get a new rear like 3 months ago?

[ZMagic97]

@FirstXRS No shame :P

And yes, I kepy my old one. This set is a new style.

[daswada9]

real pro ! 

[ZMagic97]

@daswada9 Thanks!

[MrMaxymoo22]

How could anyone think this is hard??? Try rebuilding one of those engines, it's not really hard but it's a pain in the ass.

[NinjaOnANinja]

Makes me sad... I can't help but watch these videos and it burns inside because of how bad I want my bike but gotta wait : /

I was supposed to get it in about a week but now.. I dunno.

[ZMagic97]

@NinjaOnANinja Hang in there!

[NinjaOnANinja]

@ZMagic97 Yeah, I am man!

Been on a death bad more then once in may bed, I am not about to lay down and take it now! I still gotta get my ass out to Arizona on my First bike ever ZX-6 and give your ass a big hug! xD

Social Security is trying to fuck me over, but I shall win!

[DannyBoy9514]

[ZMagic97]

@robm425 Very true. Same sizes.

[Ps3capt]

@CBR2karol nope

[SuYpIA]

@CBR2karol You think thats "Nos" ? lmao

[ZMagic97]

@CBR2karol Not yet

[warezvz]

doing it yourself is so much better then let a shop do it

[ZMagic97]

@warezvz I agree!

[warezvz]

@ZMagic97

and safer you always know in what condition your bike is

[ICBR2]

Awesome video bud!

Your rear tire looks "hairy" Dont you dare shave it! Lets see the chicken rubber molding nipples wear off naturally.... LOL

[ZMagic97]

@ICBR2 Oh, they did.

[zacs214]

Hey ZMAGIC great footage!

Did u learn from someone to be able to do this mechanic work or just work it out for yourself?

how much all that cost, new chain and sprockets?

[ZMagic97]

@zacs214 Thanks!

Learned from my dad as a kid, now I'm self taught.

Tool, chain, sprockets, and tires were about. $525.

[ZMagic97]

@ICBR2 Yup, that's where I got them!

[rolpal619]

Cool, Z.

Brand new parts.

[ZMagic97]

@rolpal619 Nice and shiny too!

[NinjaOnANinja]

So, now that those are changed, the MPH gauge will be more off then normal, no? They looked a different size.

[ZMagic97]

@NinjaOnANinja No, they're stock.

[jinkjack]

Nice pro feel to this vid, well done.

[ZMagic97]

@a7g1000 Tomorrow Never Dies by Burning Red

[cashstore1]

Yeah, I was thinking like David, if you changed the ratio of any of the sprockets.

Your bike is too clean. It makes me look bad.

[ZMagic97]

@cashstore1 Nope, they're the same Glenn. And thanks.

[deejayx]

Fuckin F4i looking newer by the minute :) Awesome vid my brotha!

[ZMagic97]

@deejayx Thanks!

[davidhowellca]

Did you change the ratios? +2 in the back and -1 in the front? Stayed stock?

[ZMagic97]

@davidhowellca They're stock.

[stuie195]

great and informative, get on xbox!!

[ZMagic97]

@stuie195 Thanks, and I may.

[dafobra]

I see you went to a 520.. did you change the ratios at all?

[ZMagic97]

@dafobra No, ratios are the same.

[DoomXexec311]

sweet.. what chain tool is that/brand? How much did you gets yours for? Is that an aluminum sprocket? Did you also mount/balance the tires yourself?

nicely edited

[ZMagic97]

@DoomXexec311 Tool: Not sure. Tags fell off. It cost about $90.

Yes on aluminum sprockets. No on the tires.

[dsmfrek007]

Good work I cant tell you hoe sick that paint is on the fairings! loved the camping vids looked like so much fun
