Default Very well done M8 video.

I found this video on youtube and I think it does a great job of explaining the M8 transfer issues and the motor in general. If you own an M8 and haven't seen it yet..... Here it is.

If you found this informative, you came into it not knowing anything!!! This guy sounded like a babbling idiot and added NO clarification to anything.

Very well done? You have low standards. Several problems with this video which have been detailed the 2 other times it was posted.

So the more hits it gets, the more accurate it is?

The lack of critical thinking is sad. 1) its done by a dealer representative. What did you think he's going to say "they're junk!"? 2) he makes bizarre statements like the transfer issue is really someone accidentally overfilling the primary. Really? Explain how that can be done. Please. I want to know.

I could go on...

I can hear it in my head, "Why aren't I 50 points ahead, I might add?"

Same mentality

The real value of this video is that it puts the M8 issues into perspective. They're just not that widespread.... Probably less than 1% of the M8's sold are having transfer issues and sumping issues are almost non-existent.

My bike has no issues, albeit 6500 miles. I do think the transfer and sumping issue relates to a relatively small number of bikes, however, this video is absolutely insulting to anyone’s intelligence unless you are a potato... what a waste of 15 minutes.....
