@@backwoodsrogers438 If you ride even with a decent helmet at 70mph, your ears are hearing too many decibels of wind noise and speaker noise which is hearing damage.

Best thing I bought without realizing a month ago when I joined the rider community: the smart phone gloves, salesman told me about it and I thought oh that’s great yea I’ll take em. They are the absolute most convenient thing I have
Honestly, in my years of riding so far I never needed a tool kit on the road - only used tools when I swapped my exhaust. However, cleaning supplies and tools for especially chain maintenance and other mechanical components is in my opinion much more important on a regular basis, and something every rider should keep in stock - especially if you ride in humid environments. Keeping your mechanical pieces clean will save you from having to do actual repairs down the line.
I tend to agree, if you're just bar hopping or bopping around town You can always set aside some money for a tow as long as you're not going too far from your house the bill Won't be too absurd. With that being said if you're going on long 2 300 mile jonts that tool kit is worth the space in your pack
@@mrspeigle1 Even as something as simple as replacing light bulbs requires a few tools, Allen keys plus screwdrivers, Phillips and flat head will not break the budget for space nor weight.
@@heythereimkevin 10MM is the most commonly-used socket in metric bikes and cars. So it is also most likely to get lost (in an engine bay, under garage storage etc...) which makes it a running joke that you WON'T have it when you need it most. I personally keep 2 at home.
The old way to stop your visor fogging up is to rub a bit of soap onto the inside of the visor, and them buff it out until clear again. This works well for at least a couple of days of winter riding, and it's not much of a hassle to re-do
@@A6Legit I was riding a scooter for nearly a year with no problems before I took the course and I only took the course because I can't afford to pay for a ticket on the chance that I get pulled over.
Personal thoughts from someone who recently probably progressed from a beginner to intermediate: The disc lock is VERY essential!!! At least if you live in SoCal. Don't listen to what he says though. Your 400 can and will get stolen if you're careless. When I had a R3 and browsed the R3 forums and FB groups, I remember multiple ppl getting them stolen. Also, those accessories should be a 1 time purchases and will stay with you regardless of bike. Personally, I think a disc lock and Kyrpotonite chain should be considered a part of the cost of your bike. On the subject of my first bike, my R3 had a gear indicator, but the next bike I purchased did not. So I immediately went out and bought a gear indicator. If I knew what I know now, I wouldn't have bought it. I never even look at the gear indicator. I thought that I did, but I don't. I mostly forget it's there until it errors out. It's a major PITA to calibrate and is oftentimes inaccurate anyways. It was also kind of a pain to install. Your ears are just as good, if not better than those lil gear indicators for telling you which gear you're in, at least on my bike.
7:28 Road Flares!! Bonus points if you have the ones with the little wire legs. Puddles don't always kill a flare but both mud and puddles can and sometimes will. And it'll be at the worst moment. Also, a small knife, pen and paper (preferably a space pen and "writes in the rain" paper), and a bic lighter
@@user2C47 because pencils suck. Also, writing on wet paper is easier with a pen, because the friction is less. And you can count on your paper being wet at the worst times. Just assume it's going to be wet, right out of the gate.
Living in Newark, NJ, I have seen flatbeds pull up to a Ducati, put a canvas sling under it and lift it onto the bed. 45 seconds later, they were on their way to Memphis

05:30 Well someone isn't a lockpickinglawyer watcher. There are a lot of locks that you can open without a key just as fast as if you had one, and it won't cause any alarms to go off.
@@gerdz101 the instruments maybe... but other than that most things actually are...Good locks, good lights, good tools... Pinlock visor should be very high on anyones list as well... it´s probably one of the things people say "naaay, don´t need that" and if they try, they´ll never go without again :)
Yam, I'm a motorcycle instructor, and I demonstrate to learners how I can fill up my helmet with my vape, and although I can't see, you don't get any condensation on the visor
I've had great experience with IXS leather gloves. No gimmicky touch screen feature, they are ce leather gloves and they work without any special pad on them.
I never had or heard of a pinlock. I would just use the Rain-X antifog solution wiped on the inside of the visor. You have to retreat it maybe every few months. Works well on car windshields too, which is probably what it was designed for.
Locks keep honest people honest, even with a disc lock it won't stop it from being taken .... Goes the saying " If they want it bad enough, they'll get it "
Just wanna say my motorcycle disc lock is solid, but I'll admit it's another inconvenience too. You have to put it on just so...or you're looking at an ear beating by the alarm.
I got a round padlock that works just as well as a disc lock minus the alarm. It works with a combination so even better than the the disc lock which sometimes keeps going off randomly in wet weather.
I've been riding in the Bay Area off and on since the mid 1980's. I've been riding a lot since 2007 and have never owned a battery tinder. Like I said, I ride a lot so I've never needed one. I am sure they are a great piece of equipment if you don't ride too much. Fortunately, the weather here is great all year.

Gear position sensor is my favorite thing on my older bike hands down cost like 30 bucks install doesnt take much time at all just make sure you program it correctly I messed mine up when I installed it and only went up to 4th

I'm NOT a motorcyclist, but I've been inspired to consider learning to ride by watching videos of awesome biker boys on UA-cam! ... Security of a motorcycle is obviously very important, and I have a question (sorry if it's a stupid question! ... Apparently, it's NOT a stupid question!); What's to stop thieves loading a motorcycle into the back of a vehicle and stealing it that way? I understand owner's can fit tracking devices to bikes? LED lights that last a "million, billion years?" ... So, LONGER than the Universe has existed for? That's some warranty! 🤣 ... I wouldn't know what to do with all those tools! I can just about change a tap washer!
Couple of suggestions. If you're drilling the face shield put some blue tape over the drill point it'll keep a crack from running and if you're hard core remove the fasteners and add some loktite to keep fasteners tight and not rattling. I learned this trick when I was restoring a 49 Panhead which actually came to me in a milk crate. Now go eat some bugs.
dont drill your visors just yet.. theres a ,,pinlock" visor made by Raleri that just sticks inside with a self adhesive gasket. Been using it and i can recommend it as a less risky alternative
Not having a visor with pinlock once saved me from a possible ban & certainly a fine, just turned from small side road onto large straight road for 4km,was early morning & very cool, accelerated to about 140kpm (limit is 90kph) visor completely fogged up, could barely see anything, went down gears & braking hard, & lifted visor, see movement at end of straight so stayed at lower speed, got closer & was Police with mobile speed gun, I was lucky 😊
Passed the MSF yesterday in the pouring rain and crazy wind up here in OK. Thing is I still have to wait 2 months just for someone at the DMV to sign a paper! Anyone know if shops will let me test ride while I wait on the signature?
I bought my bike in September and it was cold. Bought some cold weather gear. Put about 800 miles on her since then and it’s getting hot! Just about 90degrees. Now I need some money for a summer jacket and summer gloves at least! I ain’t riding like no squid!
I FINALLY settled on a motorcycle upgrade from my 500R......a new leftover 2020 Husky 701 Supermoto. I'm sure Spite would approve. Anyway, point is......I already got $1000 in mods in the mail with another $1000 planned down the road still. lol A couple of upgrades in my first thousand is actually some of the stuff mentioned on the list. Specifically, LED headlight bulb replacements and the Cumpan (yes, I know) cockpit assistant, because not having a rev counter and gear indicator makes me very sad. (Seriously Spite should look into one of those for his 690 if he hasn't already) Motorcycle accessories are never ending. xD
That was a surprise and a good reminder list. Thank you for making this video. This is my first video from your channel. Somewhere read or saw you being reckless so i didn't till now. This list is Solid! I took away 4 points, just shows how lazy I have become about my motorcycle. Corona helped LOL. Noooo it didn't! But thank you for pointing me back in the right direction. Cheers!
I actually do ride my bike every day because its the only transportation I have. I couldnt afford a car and got an amazing deal on a kawasaki vulcan 900 classic for 4,000.
Thanks for the video! 💯 I have all of those things you said I need I started two years ago buying all my equipment and motorcycle gears jacket and pants & gloves plus boots! And motorcycle helmet I have seven pairs because I did know what Best motorcycle helmet! Till my cousin told me LS2 Valiant II Revo helmet!!
A Tool kit... well yes, i have one of those, but it takes a van or ute to move it around, as well as an extra person... It also takes up 4 cabinets, and only two of those have wheels. 17mm is not an odd size, 13 15 16 and 18mm are the Odd sizes. I wish I didn't have to have every torx size imaginable, but as far as Allen keys go, I refuse to get Imperial sizes... I will never wrench on anything with imperial Allen keys!
LOL the guy at the shop literally said he has a credit card just for the bike hahaha, I was like nope not me sir already too deep in. Got a brand spanking new Vitpilen 401 and it’s fully insured. Definitely need a place to mount my phone too
In the tools equipment, you forgot to have a torque wrench. I recently had to replace the oil pan because the previous owner had over-tightened the oil-pan bolt and caused a crack in it. Fuuun to change just before the season where I live started...
I more or less ride everyday, it honestly feels like a need for me. I hate it when it snows... I don't even really care if it's cold, except if it is in 30's-40's I won't ride to work (hour journey on highways), but I will still ride in town. Maybe once I get heated grips it'll be a different story.
One of your other videos you said you have kind of gotten stuck making the "beginner videos." I'm no where near a beginner but I like watching your videos. If you made more accessories or advanced stuff, I'd watch those too.
Yes please on the tool kit. I have helped approximately eleventy billion people on the side of the road who were standing around broken down because they didn't have a tool kit. And if you want to get super fancy put a few cotter pins and twist ties in there. It may save you a $200 + tow bill. And if you are carrying your guitar or your "axe" like that one dude bring extra panties and some strings.

love this channel like the way you break everything down for us
Just went to get a beer in the shop and had a vision of grabbing a rattlesnake and bringing it in the house to show my husband. 😂
Why am I crazy?
dont drill your visors just yet.. theres a ,,pinlock" visor made by Raleri that just sticks inside with a self adhesive gasket. Been using it and i can recommend it as a less risky alternative
Not having a visor with pinlock once saved me from a possible ban & certainly a fine, just turned from small side road onto large straight road for 4km,was early morning & very cool, accelerated to about 140kpm (limit is 90kph) visor completely fogged up, could barely see anything, went down gears & braking hard, & lifted visor, see movement at end of straight so stayed at lower speed, got closer & was Police with mobile speed gun, I was lucky 😊
my dealer told me my GS was unboxed and being built yesterday, i told him to add a topbox but forgot about the cup holder, thanks for reminding me!
Passed the MSF yesterday in the pouring rain and crazy wind up here in OK. Thing is I still have to wait 2 months just for someone at the DMV to sign a paper! Anyone know if shops will let me test ride while I wait on the signature?
1:19. this coming from a guy who still can't pull neither off lmao. Love ya Yam. Gotta call ya out man.
I'm just getting into motorcycles. I'll gladly offer up my firstborn for this. I've had a vasectomy so not worried
You forgot to upgrade your horn. Or do you think beep suffices?
That picture of that helmet tho.... i need that right now.
This is like skate or die (yt channel) for motorcycles.
Can’t be stolen?
Lock picking lawyer: “hold my beer”
This is the Lock Picking Lawyer
Funny! The F750 GS is exactly what I'm eyeing. Lol
Damn 30+ years of riding an never knew I needed a gear indicator, temperature read out, and especially smartphone enabled gloves.
wait until you found out how stupid those smart gear indicators are.
I’ve never seen the reason for having a gear indicator 😂 just use your brain
I bought my bike in September and it was cold. Bought some cold weather gear. Put about 800 miles on her since then and it’s getting hot! Just about 90degrees. Now I need some money for a summer jacket and summer gloves at least! I ain’t riding like no squid!
@10:09 that one hurt. 😂😂 Pretty sure digging for more gear means your way over speed limit. Keeps me in check. 😢
I FINALLY settled on a motorcycle upgrade from my 500R......a new leftover 2020 Husky 701 Supermoto. I'm sure Spite would approve. Anyway, point is......I already got $1000 in mods in the mail with another $1000 planned down the road still. lol
A couple of upgrades in my first thousand is actually some of the stuff mentioned on the list. Specifically, LED headlight bulb replacements and the Cumpan (yes, I know) cockpit assistant, because not having a rev counter and gear indicator makes me very sad. (Seriously Spite should look into one of those for his 690 if he hasn't already)
Motorcycle accessories are never ending. xD
2:21 #1 pin lock visor

7:00 #5 a tool kit
8:13 #6 upgraded lights
9:33 dashboard accessories or a new dashboard
That was a surprise and a good reminder list. Thank you for making this video.
This is my first video from your channel. Somewhere read or saw you being reckless so i didn't till now. This list is Solid! I took away 4 points, just shows how lazy I have become about my motorcycle. Corona helped LOL. Noooo it didn't! But thank you for pointing me back in the right direction. Cheers!
I actually do ride my bike every day because its the only transportation I have. I couldnt afford a car and got an amazing deal on a kawasaki vulcan 900 classic for 4,000.
nice
0:08 jesus u guessed how much i spend in one go
That’s a nice Aston Martin 10:04
Thanks for the video! 💯 I have all of those things you said I need I started two years ago buying all my equipment and motorcycle gears jacket and pants & gloves plus boots! And motorcycle helmet I have seven pairs because I did know what Best motorcycle helmet! Till my cousin told me LS2 Valiant II Revo helmet!!
A Tool kit... well yes, i have one of those, but it takes a van or ute to move it around, as well as an extra person... It also takes up 4 cabinets, and only two of those have wheels.
17mm is not an odd size, 13 15 16 and 18mm are the Odd sizes. I wish I didn't have to have every torx size imaginable, but as far as Allen keys go, I refuse to get Imperial sizes... I will never wrench on anything with imperial Allen keys!
#1 upgrade imo: lithium ion battery.
•No more battery drain when left sitting
• less weight
🤌🏻🤌🏻
- m sport hat boi
And Lithium Ion Batteries CAN start a thermo-runaway condition with minimum damage to them - it's taken down planes already!
LOL the guy at the shop literally said he has a credit card just for the bike hahaha, I was like nope not me sir already too deep in. Got a brand spanking new Vitpilen 401 and it’s fully insured. Definitely need a place to mount my phone too
Always awesome stuff from yammie, definitely my new favorite channel.
Geezus.. you led yourself into your first advertisement less than 2 minutes into your 11 minute video.
I ride everyday! Lol I don’t own a car anymore! You cager! Lol 😂
when he said pearly gates, everything went dark for me. lmao
Hey! I know that area....I dunno if you've ever said where you're at, so I'm going to keep it to myself, but that's in the 512.
Wow! You made it to the end! Your reward is a plug for another video of mine!
the thing about flash rate of the indicators is just in case of a failure it flashes faster to let you know something is wrong.
If you're in a pinch and don't have smartphone compatible gloves, you can lick your glove fingertips and it'll work for a little while.
I just got a 2020 GSXR600 in April. Brand spanking new. Got stolen yesterday morning about an hour before I woke up.
In the tools equipment, you forgot to have a torque wrench. I recently had to replace the oil pan because the previous owner had over-tightened the oil-pan bolt and caused a crack in it. Fuuun to change just before the season where I live started...
I more or less ride everyday, it honestly feels like a need for me. I hate it when it snows... I don't even really care if it's cold, except if it is in 30's-40's I won't ride to work (hour journey on highways), but I will still ride in town. Maybe once I get heated grips it'll be a different story.
I'll ride down to 35* - colder than that I have to worry about ice - my wife won't ride with me if it's below 50*
hey yam, im 18 from ireland doing my cbt on the weekend have an 05 yamaha dt125x. loving the vids
Hey Yam, maybe post links to a recommended brand of these items, for some of us lazy bastards...LOL
Yes!!! Can you help me find an upgrade for my headlight? It’s a 2001 Suzuki Intruder 1400
One of your other videos you said you have kind of gotten stuck making the "beginner videos." I'm no where near a beginner but I like watching your videos. If you made more accessories or advanced stuff, I'd watch those too.
1. Spare battery.
2. Torque wrench.
3. Kickstart kit.
Yes please on the tool kit. I have helped approximately eleventy billion people on the side of the road who were standing around broken down because they didn't have a tool kit. And if you want to get super fancy put a few cotter pins and twist ties in there. It may save you a $200 + tow bill. And if you are carrying your guitar or your "axe" like that one dude bring extra panties and some strings.
