Well this is the world today. One person is offended, so we pander to them. All the comments here seem to suggest we are not bothered by swearing. Don't change who you are.👍
Not bothered at all and I find it amusing but...if he can limit it when necessary and really felt a for fuck sake it's fine right? Even Jim cares about his video's beeing watched by as many folks as possible But you are right about what you saying, that's how the human world seems to work nowadays
Jim's been working on my bikes about 15 years. I don't let anyone else touch them. I would be mortified if he didn't drop f-bombs when I speak to him 😊
Yes, it’d be like he may have just realised that swearing in front of people may just offend some of them, let me say there’s a fair proportion of the people that are not offended BUT some people just do not like it and it feels like blow to the heart, especially when the Lords name ( the one they love so much) is blasphemed and used as a curse word. It’s a matter of ‘do you care about others or not?’ I have a friend who swears in front of unknown people and also little kids… just doesn’t give it a thought. It makes me feel terrible, I tell him not to do it but he doesn’t see the negative impact his crass language is having upon these people and these children 😔
“Going to clean up the f-bombs” One moment later “If u wet wipes are offended don’t watch my videos “ Love it Jim, I like the f bombs the reason I like watching this channel is because you speak to us like friends so it’s easier to understand what you’re talking about. Keep it up.
Looks like I've found a compelling channel to watch ! Found this by accident and I love Engineers who not only know their stuff, but can make it entertaining to watch
Priorities in peoples lives change… and some people like having nice looking trophies… many different reasons why bikes are parked up for years. I know a guy who parks his bike at his friends place, coz his missus has no idea he even has a bike, and he only does about 100 miles a year. Secretly lol.
Bought an '02 CBR F4i last May - it had 5300 miles on it. About 3500 in the first 3 years. Runs like a sewing machine but the rubber parts give me the fear tbh. I put braided lines on it but the fuel and cooling lines are all original... Getting the forks services and new constant rate springs fitted in 2 weeks time - asked the mechanic to give it the once over on those parts that could be close to perishing.
Jim , that machine was built way B4 E10 was ever thought of . Do u ever perform full fuel system flush first ? Then fill with E5 before u fault find . So much crap in E10 these days
Firstly..DON'T IGNORE YOUR BACK PAIN !!!! REST IT, SUPPORT IT. ( 30 years of Sciatica makes me say this...) Is this going to end up being a warning of the dangers of out of date condoms ??? Nothing worse than "out of date " rubbers............Perish the thought....
First time watching Jim work and he is my kind of mechanic. He knows what he's talking about and get's on with it. Never met a mechanic yet who doesn't swear, it's part of who they are.
I get that with Aussies coz I’ve lived over there for a few years.. ( back in NZ now thankfully) but why would you WANT to offend people and laugh at them when they object or even just run off? It’s a sadistic way of thinking and sadism is a mental issue. Try to have consideration for others.
Sorry to hear about your back pain. I have suffered in the past and having to work while going through it is horrible. Havent noticed the swearing personally and a biker who doesnt swear is a rare beast, so just keep it real and dont worry about 1% of your audience. Hope you get your back sorted soon
I suspect that most people watch your channel because you are down to earth, you tell it like it is and if you slip out some profanities when you compressor starts up - so what !
When recording it is so easy to turn the compressor off before you begin so there is one less thing to distract you during filming, especially after the third time.
When you find a mechanic who is really good at diagnosing and getting to the root of the problem rather than trying random surface level _'lets try this...'_ or _'lets try that...'_ fixes. They are always worth the money
Unfortunately especially in the beginning of a video the algorithm cares. There's no reason to risk getting a video suppressed or even demonetized for a few swear words.
@@DoRC As the algorithms work you get more initial exposure and or recognition than if you kept things cleaner, its the after effect that hurts as youtube turn off the trafic to the said post/channel.
seriously 😕. This is a very clever man who cant express himself without swearing and you think thats ok there are plenty words in the english language, surely he can find some that would suit
Another awesome video. Diagnostic work is often very frustrating and tedious. Anyone who watches videos on mechanical diagnostic and repairs and complains about swearing is in the wrong video.
When people go to polytechnic courses to learn, the tutor is not dropping f bombs constantly.. but they are contracted and being paid so I can understand that, Jim on the other hand is giving info on a channel that is accessed for free. YT demonetise channels for bad language.. obviously Jim has lost the monetisation of his channel long ago.
I'll concur with the difficulty of knowing one of the cylinders in a V4 motor is not firing. I had a disconnected coil wire on the right rear cylinder of my VFR. The bike started right up, seem to idle and run fine, but two clues came to light. These were poor MPG and when under heavy acceleration or putting load on the engine from a stop, when going up a hill for instance, you could tell something was up. The bike sat for a while due to health reasons, so when I was finally able to ride again, it took a few rides to realize and resolve the issue. Getting reacquainted with riding again and with the bike itself took a little while. All good now on both fronts. Love your videos, even with the cursing, but they are definitely more viewer friendly without the swear words. Either way, keep up the great work. Cheers
I don’t mind you swearing Jim, it relays the frustration you feel on matters at hand. I’m not disrespecting anyone who may think it’s too much either. Hopefully we’re all wearing our big boy pants and appreciate your extensive knowledge whether delivered with a smattering of ripe fruit or not. Be who you are mate, I much prefer you baffles out than constrained.
Thanks for that. ( I really mean it) I now know there is more I should know about ignition coils and a little of why a weak spark when tested with a plug on the outside of a cylinder may be too weak under pressure when in the cylinder.
Not a motor bike man but i love to see good mechanics,proper mechanics get things running again. Its old HGVs for me,scammel,erf,foden etc. Im a chris allen,professional struggler subscriber and that boy loves his f bombs,keeping it real is part of the reason i watch him,he's a proper mechanic like you,old school who can diagnose,strip things down and find the proper root cause. He's an HGV mechanic and a good youtuber. Jim keep it real mate,you have yourself a new subscriber.👊✊️👍
Watching you hunt down the problem with this bike is better than a whodunnit crime thriller. And I get to learn a load in the process. Priceless. Thank you. Just subscribed =)
Yes, it does make your channel more user friendly to younger people sans the f bombs. In America we seem to use the word much less frequently as a rule. I am learning a ton from you, and I think it will help you get more subscribers with less f's during your excellent and superior diagnosis of complicated problems. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Used to get a very similar problem with my V-Max. There are drain holes down next to the spark plugs, one of these holes was blocked on my bike causing water to gather around the plug. This caused it to miss fire just like your bike, it was an easy fix but it took me weeks to discover what was causing the problem.👍
I like the long explanatory videos. Although I do understand the attention deficit disorder that people seem to have developed since the onslaught of the tablet and smartphone revolution. Many studies have been undertaken to show how this phenomenon is affecting the human brain detrimentally. Keep up the good work. Extended videos are fine with me.
I love your videos using the F bomb is todays "normal" Your explanations may not be the clearest when you wonder down rabbit holes but I'm sure the owners of these bikes don't care if you can explain in detail, They just want their bikes fixed, And you sir are a genius when it comes to bike repairs. Keep up the good work 👍
Nothing wrong with dropping F bombs, great work as always even if you waffle on explaining for the less informed, we are all here to learn, if they don't like the language they don't need to watch and get a fended bless them.Love your work ethics and you never give in.
Very informative jim, love it and I personally don't mind the swearing as it shows passion for what you do. Maybe find a code word instead of the f bomb as such 😅 anyway I digress 😅 great video... thankyou
Y’know, I’ve been riding for half a century and I started out on Triumphs. I now ride a 97 Harley Sportster. Over the years I have hear story after story about how Japanese bikes are more reliable, never breakdown, etc, etc, etc. I love videos like this, because I really have no time for the amount of pure BS that I keep hearing or reading about all kinds of bikes. From my own experience, there are many ways that bikes of all kinds can and do give us grief from time to time, so I learned long ago to ignore the BS and walk away.
You can use a timing light to verify if the ignition on a cylinder is at least basically working. Won't give you huge detail - but if it firing reliably there is at least some spark happening. Seafoam in the tank of as parked bike and then actually riding can clear faults - some heat soak is good for the engine. Rubber head flanges/carb mounts go hard, brittle and crack with age.
Yeah, I get it Jim, we enjoy your videos for their content and your integrity. If you can manage to refrain from swearing I can see how that might benefit your ever expanding audience. You certainly won't lose anyone.
I’ve had 16 years of constant pain after an old dude reversed into us on cb900f , 3 times , the last time he gave it the beans and the car came up the forks , so I’ve got my lady on the back and a car on the front with the front wheels making smoke and I could still hear my back going . I went to the doctors for 11 years and all they could say was it’s in your mind here’s some Valium . Eventually paid to go private and it took him 40 minutes to diagnose a prolapsed disk and arthritis. Look after your back dude cause I don’t ever have one single moment without pain .
I gotta say, I came across your video a couple years ago on how to change seals on upright forks. Now, I'm pretty handy as I restored a 2001 zrx 1200r. The last thing I had to do was rebuild the forks. That video gave me the confidence to do it. I thank you sir. Oh and by the way, don't change the way you use profanity in your videos, fuck what other people say.
Swearing doesn’t bother me one bit, a non swearing mechanic? More waffle for me, I’ve learnt soo much and continue to do so watching your videos. Thank you Stan.
Many do stay away from Australia. . . And not just because of the crass language, the Sheila’s there are absolutely awful! Worse than the blokes even! 😅
Not my type of bike usually but this seems like a sweet one! As for the F-bombs, personally I don't care but I've been in similar situation so I know the struggle with changing how one expresses oneself.
Sykes Pickavant, great tools, I have a dreadnought flexible bodywork file somewhere, great bit of kit back in the days when we filled dents in cars with body filler, Happy Days!
Jim I own a Royal Star venture and i had a problem with a non firing cylinder. the connections on the coils for the rear cylinders are underneath and can corrode. They are also a real pain to replace
Bad back! Me too!! I had sciatica a while ago - very painful, couldn't walk far, don't recommend it. Now I've got something similar but on the right side and even worse (lower back into right thigh) - can't find a position to sleep in that doesn't wake me up every hour in absolute agony. I think it's the sacroiliac joint. Fecking hate getting old. Nice bike though!
Another informative vlog. Interesting part 1. Looking forward to part 2. Get yourself seen by a Bowen practitioner, be staggered if that doesn’t fix your back.
These vids really are very informative but god does this guy go on. My spider senses tell me I have to give him a rest for a while or I’ll end up down a rabbit hole!!. 😊
I'm a mechanic so I can watch hours of this stuff... but timing felt right on this one to me. I know you can't argue with the analytics though. As for the swearing, I can see both sides.... doesn't bother me, but I know lots of people who consider it unethical/amoral... And is that Really what you want to be passing onto a teen who might be interested in starting this path for a career? I mean, how does it help Anything, what upside is there (I can't think of any). Done right it can add emphasis to language, done often it usually just drags down others opinions of your knowledge/competence ~ but how does it improve diagnostic work or spanner spinning? Seems a British thing (heavy swearing), but I pretty much only have TV/movies to thank for that opinion (the few weeks I've spent in the UK on vacation didn't really match). Anyway, carry on....
Stubbled upon our videos purely by chance, delightfully informative content mate. Subscribed after the first 3 minutes of the first video I’ve watched. Keep up the great work. 🫡
Had a similar problem with a Vmax bud it was carbs related, I had the carbs off twice, cleaned them thoroughly same problem, third time I cleaned them I totally stripped and soaked them for 24hrs in acetone, rebuilt them and the bike fired up first time and ran fine from then on, main pain in the ass is refitting them each time they came off 😂, good luck with it but if you're sure it's fuelling use acetone 👍
A couple of things Jim: You use brake clean as a vacuum leak tester. In America brake clean DOES NOT BURN. Some carb cleaners do not even burn and must be flame tested first. We use aerosol carb cleaner. Also I am very familiar with the oscilloscope spark pattern from my years as a VW mechanic and in another video what I saw looked like the resistor in the sparkplug connector was bad (open circuit) I'm surprised you don't do an ohm check of the ignition wire itself.
Mr.Surgeon of SuperBikes >> I don't even own a bike...lol, yet..... but it's your accent & colorful language that HooK'd Me Up ! Speak your mind & they can "bleep" the words of yours they do not like but for God's sake, do not change for ANYone, Sir!!
*Waffles* --- *Waffling about waffling* --- *gets annoyed by waffling about waffling, waffles further as result* 👍🤣 Subscribed, because of waffling, Vmax and schtuff. Also, I hope your back improves.
I’ve had a couple of times the engine was missing until I started to remove the cap to work out which cylinder, as I removed the cap the spark came back but only with a gap between the plug top and the cap 🤮
Let the wet wipes watch knitting videos! Dont change Jim. Love your content ✨️
Yeh, love the swearing, everyone I know fucking swears. I swear on my video's.

Maybe he should start using the “c” word then

F bombs aren't an issue IMO, your content is very good and educational for this DIY'er.
When waffling Jim, do you ever confuse yourself 😊 great listening to you explain in great detail 😊 great video

Damn, that is a killer funnel.
Always interesting videos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Bad back! Me too!! I had sciatica a while ago - very painful, couldn't walk far, don't recommend it. Now I've got something similar but on the right side and even worse (lower back into right thigh) - can't find a position to sleep in that doesn't wake me up every hour in absolute agony. I think it's the sacroiliac joint. Fecking hate getting old.
Nice bike though!
I use laser temp gun --tells me what cyls are running cold--- also use it when tickling carbs---the weaker the mix, the higher the temp
Just crock clip the starter motor on the solenoid output and crank off a battery. No Stressed coils, no rabbit holes :)
Another informative vlog. Interesting part 1. Looking forward to part 2. Get yourself seen by a Bowen practitioner, be staggered if that doesn’t fix your back.
Curious on disassembling... 😎😎
Is the phrase you were looking for re the mispoken coil charge time actually "coil rise time"?
These vids really are very informative but god does this guy go on. My spider senses tell me I have to give him a rest for a while or I’ll end up down a rabbit hole!!. 😊
I'm a mechanic so I can watch hours of this stuff... but timing felt right on this one to me. I know you can't argue with the analytics though.
As for the swearing, I can see both sides.... doesn't bother me, but I know lots of people who consider it unethical/amoral... And is that Really what you want to be passing onto a teen who might be interested in starting this path for a career? I mean, how does it help Anything, what upside is there (I can't think of any). Done right it can add emphasis to language, done often it usually just drags down others opinions of your knowledge/competence ~ but how does it improve diagnostic work or spanner spinning? Seems a British thing (heavy swearing), but I pretty much only have TV/movies to thank for that opinion (the few weeks I've spent in the UK on vacation didn't really match).
Anyway, carry on....
Stubbled upon our videos purely by chance, delightfully informative content mate. Subscribed after the first 3 minutes of the first video I’ve watched. Keep up the great work. 🫡
Had a similar problem with a Vmax bud it was carbs related, I had the carbs off twice, cleaned them thoroughly same problem, third time I cleaned them I totally stripped and soaked them for 24hrs in acetone, rebuilt them and the bike fired up first time and ran fine from then on, main pain in the ass is refitting them each time they came off 😂, good luck with it but if you're sure it's fuelling use acetone 👍
I only watch for the swearing. 😂
A couple of things Jim: You use brake clean as a vacuum leak tester. In America brake clean DOES NOT BURN. Some carb cleaners do not even burn and must be flame tested first. We use aerosol carb cleaner. Also I am very familiar with the oscilloscope spark pattern from my years as a VW mechanic and in another video what I saw looked like the resistor in the sparkplug connector was bad (open circuit) I'm surprised you don't do an ohm check of the ignition wire itself.
Ahhh geez ppl, your swearing is right on point carry on lol. Who can't you share these videos with cause of language? 10 year olds ?
Mr.Surgeon of SuperBikes >> I don't even own a bike...lol, yet..... but it's your accent & colorful language that HooK'd Me Up !
Speak your mind & they can "bleep" the words of yours they do not like but for God's sake, do not change for ANYone, Sir!!
*Waffles* --- *Waffling about waffling* --- *gets annoyed by waffling about waffling, waffles further as result* 👍🤣 Subscribed, because of waffling, Vmax and schtuff. Also, I hope your back improves.
Great words from moss (IT crowd) my ears are not a toilet.
But joking aside I don’t mine an F bomb in the right context.
The occasional F bomb does add some gravitas 😂
The back pain! DON'T IGNORE YOUR BACK PAIN!!!! There is only one body you have, unfortunately there are no spare parts for that....
You said points! I understand engine's with points lol.
I’ve had a couple of times the engine was missing until I started to remove the cap to work out which cylinder, as I removed the cap the spark came back but only with a gap between the plug top and the cap 🤮
I had the same problem with my V-4 125 motorbike last year, interesting.
