One minute of silence for every kickstand abused from now on, for the glorious chain lube moment.

Adding to the pushing the bike backwards. If you’re pushing it this way, you have no way of braking. Solution: Leave it in gear & hold the clutch in to roll. Release the clutch to stop.🤙🏼

I've been riding for more than 20 years and still learned something from this video (namely, the finger lickin' good tip).

just a tip, dont leave the goggles on the helmet the strap will loosen and in a year or two you will have to buy new ones (tip from my racing life)

Free hack/tip: Dig around your closet and find an extra luggage strap, guitar strap, or anything like that. Fold it up flat and tuck it in your riding bag or jacket pocket, and when you get off the bike, loop it through your chin bar or chin strap and boom. Instant carry strap for your bucket. You can wear it crossbody and stuff your gloves in it, take off your jacket and drape it over the helmet too. Simple and extremely effective. Personally, I use an old guitar strap and a neat carabiner and I just loop mine through the ratchet strap so the helmet hangs more level and less likely to drop a glove out. It's such a simple and easy hack, and takes up almost no space. Really worth it.

Beginner here,I've been learning alot from your contents💯💯

I've pushed my bike hundreds of klms oiling the damn chain, kickstand brilliant.

For the kickstand/chain lube trick: just use a piece of a wooden bar or something to place under the opposing side of the wingarm, that way you don't have to hold the weight of the bike and can easily do this alone

Me realising that I've left my gloves inside my helmet for the last 4 months 😐

Another greasy hands tip: Soak your hands in liquid dish soap and let it dry before starting the work. It soaks into your hands and helps prevent grease, oil, dirt, etc from getting into all the little spaces in your hands. Mind you with Covid 19, most people have nitrile or latex gloves around the house now - I highly recommend those over anything else.

Carrying gloves on you helmet while your out is ok untill you loose one of them..😂😂

Walking the bike: use the engine to walk the bike forward, it conserves energy. Also during U turns on slopes, reverse downhill and use the engine to go uphill. Always use the clutch as the main stopping mechanism while reversing downhill, the front brake has very little bite on those conditions.

Beginners will definitely benefit from these simple bike hacks. Great vid again, CC 👍🏻💯 Edit: Btw, something to add regarding the glove in helmet hack. If i carry my backpack, the helmet will go onto my backpack strap for BOTH my hands free to do my shopping 🖐😁🖐

I´m a 41 yr old new rider (duke 390) and your videos helped me a lot. Thanks for that!

lol love your humor amidst the rather valuable piece of advice.

My favorite one is parking the bike uphill, was usefull some days ago, thanks. 🔥 I watched it on another account, that's why I knew it and it was helpful. Watched it here too so I help out in some way 👍

mate... your editing style is awesome ... jokes on spot :D ... awesome and helpfull content .. love every one of your vids :)

Funny and helpful. I didn't know about the glove truck for smart phone screens.

Excellent video! I like the way you make these videos, full with funny jokes, love it :) keep on

This was great!

The lubing chain hack really helps!!! Thanks you!

Love your videos! Genuinely funny

Awesome. Thank you.

Just found your channel and I’ve been getting into motorcycles as well. I enjoy your humor haha. Great quality videos! New subscriber here. :)

Man, I really like your videos. I don't have my own bike yet, but your vids make me feel like I've got nothing to worry about

The hack about licking the glove is great. I already tried it and it worked quite well. 👍

The best hacks for beginners in 2021. Excellent tips!

This is d series dat everyone is looking for🔥🔥🔥

Getting my Ninja 650 in the next couple weeks and your videos are both helpful and inspiring. Thanks for the great content!

You should lubricate your chain on the inside of the chain, not on the outside as shown in the video. Keep aware that the spary doesn't get in contact with your tires or brakes.

Keep doing videos ! You have something special!

Yeaaah chain lubrication on the outer side is very good thing! You have to do that! 🤣 cheers :)

I use the car jack to lift the wheels for cleaning/maintenance. In the front is easier to lift in gear and with handlebars turn to the left!

Thanks for the detergent trick! Really usefull!

I think your the best south africa KZfaq 🇿🇦 hands down

finger lciking?! after 20 years I learned something new Cheers mate

thank you for the video i love it

Not sure if you have mentioned on a prior video but my favorite so far is when in a tight spot pulling the bike up onto its kickstand and pivoting it 180 degrees so it faces the other way and ride out.

Love your humor bro... all the way from down under

Love your video bro

Thank You

Awesome vid

Good info 👍

cant believe you removed the motorex off the engine cover and replaced it with liqui moly :)) you re the best!

Nossa seus vídeos são perfeitos! PARABÉNS!!!

In November my humerus bone was shattered leaving me with 2 metal plates and 18 screws I had 6cm of my bone taken out so I'm 6cm shorter on my ,left arm. Also the 2 metal plates bend around my elbow limiting how straight I can get my arm. Still awaiting further surgery .... but I WILL be back on my bike ONE DAY soon I hope... watching videos like this, just simple tips and tricks make me so excited to get riding again 🤣🙏

I made a helmet stand from your video and it works great!

Lol, The Doctor number being 46 is a great touch!

I love this

thank you!

😅😅😅fantastic 🤘

When i go shopping i put the helmet strap around 1 of my backpack's arms and lock it in there so I can have both hands and have the gloves on the helmet with the visor closed

I'm not a beginner but always enjoy your content. My partner got a Duke 390 about the same time as you, did you know there is a hidden grab indent handle under the side seat fairing for when pushing backwards?

good info!!

Well...8 years of riding experience has taught me all that(the hard way😂), but can be real helpful for beginners.👍

Since I've started riding I learnt a few tricks to ease my life: *glasses cleaning wipes* I buy them in bulk as they are cheap an effective. I stuck them everywhere from my backpacks to my documents. They cost next to nothing and are perfect to wipe your visor, googles, phone, headlamp or even hands or inside of your helmet as they contain alcohol so they kill germs and smell nice. *Little bicycle tool kit* again something cheap and handy. They cost just around one or two pounds and work on almost all screws on your motorbike. Heck, bike is a bike. It's cheap I take it :) *Strapping helmet to belt loop* works best on micrometric straps and on beltloopy pants :) Sometimes I use tensioner strap from my jacket but I prefer to use the belt loop. This works best if you need to carry second helmet for a short ride or you go on a short walk as helmet will pull your pants and wiggle around. All in all useful but not always

@7:09 you could use a trail stand or an block of wood or other material to place under the right footpeg holder and you basicly have a centerstand fieldcrafted [tough make shure your front brake is on by tighten it with rope, zippty or valcro band]

Wahaha it's so entertaining

The first beginner tips vid. wich is acutally good all the way

When I had a cruiser I wasn’t able to use a motorcycle lift or paddock stands to lift rear end. So I used a ratchet strap and a car Jack. One hook wrapped around the left fork. The other hooked to kickstand while down. Tighten just enough so the kickstand can’t move. Then I used a car Jack and lifted from the opposite side on a sturdy part of frame. Lifted the bike just enough to get the rear tire off the ground so I could do rear maintenance.

niceee i want more !!! wowww

I put a car jack under the swing arm, opposite the kickstand side. This raises the rear wheel and makes it accessible to lube and clean the chain. Besure sure to have a cloth in-between so you don't damage or scratch your swing arm.

Good Video bro👍🏻

Time to clean my gloves. Another option is getting some graphite power (or crushed pencil lead), some pva glue (preferably clear-drying), mixing the two together and painting the tips of your glove fingers. It's a little stiffer but flexible enough and works okay.

To lube the chain you can also lift the right side of the swingarm using the kickstand and put a piece of wood under the right side, just be careful not to lift it to much

“Dear Valentino Rossi” hahahahhahaha 😂

You are funny. Subscribed

It was hilarious script and amazing hack staffs 👍👍 love from India ❤️❤️❤️ do upload videos 👍👍👍 btw, my fav. Part was the The Doctor 46 😂😂

coffee grounds works really good as a hand cleaner :)

The lubing of the chain you can also do with a pair of jack stand and solid bolts that fit where you would have the spools, poor man's spools and then just take me out job done

QUICK TIP: If you don’t like walking your bike backwards out of parking spots… When you pull into a spot, get off and lean the bike towards you like he does in this video to lube his chain, only get the both tires off the ground and spin the bike on the kickstand 180degrees towards the front of the bike and boom now you’re ready to ride out of the spot and it only took 2-4 seconds. I’ve done this on sport bikes, dual sports, and dirt bikes. The easiest was on the heavier sport bikes.

I just learnt about the chain lubing on the side stand trick as my bike doesn't have a centre stand.

Flip rear footpeg on the right...and you have a spot for a jackstand...then a few block under kickstand.. Rear wheel off ground and bike stable.

You forget that painting stripes on the bike make it faster, this is a must .

I really love your videos; I often watch them and enjoy them even if I ride motorbikes since '90s Anyhow... when you will be travelling to Italy I would love to offer you a cold beer and see you perform your side stand trick and lube my 250Kgs CBR XX chain ;) and... please note that the lube is to be placed in the inner side of the chain so that the centrifuge force will push it in the chain and not out of the chain (and on your clothes!) Cheers from Italy!

Love yourself content bro

My bike weights 250kg with no luggages, so good luck lifting that up on the kickstand for lubing the chain... The old ZX6R I used to have was a breeze to pivot in the stand, even to turn it around... the Hayabusa, not so much.

Hack videos are great....

As a rider I'm not sure why I watched the whole video.. But I will leave a like anyways. Also, nice beginner hack. I use my pocketwatch pocket on my pants to put my key in. Perfect size and easy to take out.

Currently binge-watching lol

I love my Suzuki c50. No chain or belt to worry about. Shaft drive ftw.

You can use car jack stand on one side for putting up your bike on side stand for lubing the chains insted of picking it up😁.

The chain lube hack is amazing!

for the chain, if you have one use the centre stand and lean it on the front wheel

Any hacks for changing the fork seals or lifting the front end up to change it.. I don't have a bike lift and need to change my seals rather myself then pay a shop!

I see SA biker. I sub. Keep up the great content.

3:20 as though this works great on 4 strokes, it does t really work with 2 strokes as it is very easy to crank the engine. But that’s why I got a front brake lock

I have a honda CB 350 . It has a centre stand so lubing is easy .

1) You can buy gloves that have a print to the fingers, thus you can use your smart devices. 2) Also, there is an option to smartphones almost 3 years now that enables the touch screen to work with gloves.

I would love to see someone try half of these tips with a 360 kg Harley

When I put lube on my chains I do the same thing (lifting the bike) but I'm using my other foot to rotate the rear wheel lmao

licking Covid off you finger 👌🏽 hey at least you can get online and order a test kit. You can buy a product that is painted onto the fingertips making them touchy but have to top up when it wears off. Or buy gloves that are touch sensitive. Before Covid I’ve used my rouge and nose to operate my phone … makes you look so special! Kids love it hahahah.

Nice video man. Was trying to find the gloves you're wearing, like that style. Can anyone help me find them?

0:52 I just strap my helmet around my backpack's shoulder straps and let it dangle, free hands for shopping, even handy for putting small things into it and 7:00 you can also just prop the bike up on a wooden block or something under the opposite side footrest or frame/swingarm, just enough to clear the rear wheel off the ground.

I always put my glove into my helmet... but I make sure to pull the chin straps down underneath them to help hold them in a little more.

Graphite powder and water or graphite lube on the tip of a glove finger works to activate touch screens. You can usually find it where they make keys or sell locks.

One good hack a friend told me is, if you have a main stand or a paddock stand when cleaning your chain and lubing it. Put it in gear, saves having to move the wheel yourself by hand, also helps with cleaning

Nice

6:55 just put a Stick/Wood under ther Right side so ist cant tip over and you dont have to hold it. I myself use ist all the time . Nice Video 👍🏼

in India we do not even think about these tricks, we are born with it!! except that go pro one. That was nice.
