I worked at Suzuki dealership and a guy got his girlfriend to buy him a brand new GSX-R 600. He did a diy license plate delete and relocated it in front of the rear tire. He should have checked to see what he was screwing into with his drywall screws. Right through the ECU and into the battery. One of my favorite things that happened working in that shop.

I've had a customer bring their motorcycle into the shop complaining that his bike just quit, turned out it was out of gas. Another customer was proud of himself that he spent all winter putting braided stainless on his entire wiring harness but did nothing about the tiny sharp stainless wires poking into the harness. His complaint was every time he honked the horn his bike quit (he's lucky that's all that happened)

The R1 with the disintegrated air filter, that was a BMC brand filter. I see it often with that brand. The plastic they use around the outer frame of the filter does NOT hold up to heat long. This happens after the filter gets more than a couple years old. And Ari is 100% correct about checking the tank A, #1, first thing.

@AmnesiacBanana Ай бұрын

@@TwoWheeledBooBear Well, having theoretical knowledge is a lot more important than practical knowledge. Sure, you can fix stuff, but knowing the reason why it failed, knowing why you have to repair a certain way etc. is more important than practical knowledge. You can teach a child how to open up an engine, it doesn't mean that they can understand how to open it. Ofcourse, though, theoretical knowledge is no good on it's own. Some people just can use tools and that's fine. There should be a balance.

My mother has an old Kawasaki motorcycle that's been sitting derelict for well over 30 years at this point. When I was a kid she wanted to fix it and both me and my older sibling at various points in our lives thought of maybe trying to fix it with the intent of learning to ride. These videos have reminded me that that would be an undertaking requiring far more effort and expense than we could probably handle.

@JoshuaTootell 6 ай бұрын

Sounds like a fun project. And if it is for fun, a great learning opportunity. Go for it.

@ZevVeli 6 ай бұрын

@JoshuaTootell well, the problem is that literally everyone in my immediate family has some combination of clinical depression and/or ADHD so the motorcycle would get dissassembled and then left strewn about the garage.

@decnet100 3 ай бұрын

@@ZevVeli I think that's not at all uncommon with people riding motorbikes - as two-wheeled motion is a known favorite in ADHD circles. Why? Because riding them is involved and focussing - as in, you get loads of signals that get you back on track, focussed on the issue at hand; speaking for myself, if I make the daily trip to work any other way, I often spend my time either worrying about the work day, or contemplating some aspect of my private life that may very will interfere with work throughout the day. If I go on bike, I spend that time thinking about nothing else, except riding the bike. And honestly, fixing a motorcycle is great exercise for your skills. Don't trust yourself having torqued each bolt when installing something? Mark them with a pen right after you tightened them. Afraid of spraying all the little parts all over your garage? Get clear ziploc-freezer bags beforehand and mark them. Also, find the "parts explosion" drawings for your specific bike, which are undoubtedly available and will detail every little washer, nut and spring. Losing track of the overall goal, as in "getting the bike ready for mom's birthday"? Define and prioritize subgoals, such as "safety equipment (brakes, tires, suspension) > drivetrain (engine, chain) > electrics > body". And if you can't rely on anyone else in your family to do parts of the work, a motorbike restauration (as long as you're not talking concourse level) is very much a doable project for one guy, if you put in regular hours, and do the effort beforehand to set you up for an organized project!

8:30 you arent wrong about maintenance! Not quite the same thing but the surface grinder at my old work my boss had been filling with 5w30, instead of proper machine oil. When the chain-traverse finally gave up the ghost the sprocket was essentially the shape of a blunt circular saw Edit: per your point around 15:30 - you are indeed unfortunately correct, this was how I lost my best friend in 2019. Chain snapped and bunch of knock-on effects took him off. RIP Matt ❤ never forgotten brother

I used to build drag carts, and against the advice of everyone, dude in the shop decided he needed to take his engine for a run **now**. Skipped installing a chain guard, put in a used master link, on a cart running about 12hp engine with a triple disk bully. That link snapped and slapped that chain into his arm almost to the bone. Wrapped around his bicep like a whip. Chains. Are. Dangerous.

14:00 Hey, sometimes you just have to ride to the parts shop with a sponge as an airfilter, because the old one got ripped to shreds by a backfire. And then they don't have stock airfilters for your bike, because you ride a 24 year old import. So you try to cut a filter from bulk filter material, and it rides like shit, so you switch back to sponge and ride home and wait for the stock filter you ordered a week ago.

6:40 a bolt through the swing arm ain't that bad. I didn't know a rear axle nut come loose on my KX 125. About an hour later I noticed my rear wheel was kinda crooked. The brake rotor bolts cut 1/3 the way through my swing arm. I tightened everything up and went right back to riding. Over 5yrs of riding, jumping and crashing and never had a problem with that swing arm. I did end up totaling the bike but that was from a tree, actually the rear swing arm was the only thing that didn't break/bend.
