Tell me you've never used a drill bit to punch a hole in steel in your life without telling me you've never used a drill bit to punch a hole in steel in your life
The most you are getting is a small scratch unless you intentionally hold the tip of the drill bit against the pipe and use a shit ton of force to push it into the pipe while running the drill full speed. I drill steel, aluminum, titanium, and wrought iron all the time - mainly bike parts and literally refurbish exhaust cans professionally. It's take a lot more than a small slip to have you penetrate an exhaust no matter what material it's made of and the only thing you couldn't repair of you did scratch it would be carbon fiber but in that case why the hell are you using steel wool in the first place 🤣
Absolutely loving that last one. "Buy an Audi TT"... Also, if you have time to put a sock on your shoe, you have time to just put your riding boots on.
Not if you wear glasses which render it totally pointless because you're glasses are still going to fog up. Which is when you go for the anti fog wipes and sprays and do both glasses and visor.
I have been using the dish soap on the inside of a visor hack since the '70s'. It works !. The trick is that you must keep buffing the inside until it feels dry to the touch.
On a side note, always wear boots. Apart from the head, your legs are prone to injury. My dad was a paramedic for 40 years and advised me to wear helmet and boots always. (Now a riding suit is also advised, but you know what I mean)
My hack for street shoes on a bike is to NOT use the ones with loose hanging shoelaces. Not only will you fall and damage your bike, but you'll look terribly stupid while falling down. At least tuck them away into the shoe (and then be paranoid and check if they fell out every 2 seconds).
Old fuses on older bikes are larger like that one, newer cars and bikes have microbladed fuses which are the ones you have :) Can confirm the hack works on my 1986 vfr, but i wont use it because it might damage the fuse.
2 great "hacks" I guess.. 1. Foggy headlight (bike/cars/anything). Usually req a sanding kit, a lot of elbow grease and time. Hack: Bug spray. I couldn't believe it worked, just spray on outside of lens and wipe with rag. 2. Quick clean/wax paint/mirrors/chrome/everything. Hack: Pledge lemon enhancing polish. Pledge is cheap, cleans and keeps dust/dirt off for longer than expected. Bonus one I just thought of. Prob: black plastic greying due to sun. I rubbed a bit of mink oil I used for my seat on the plastic. Worked great, lasted good amount of time; and I'm in Tucson AZ where sun is harsh. Cheers
The paddock stand mod actually makes sense. If you're going to make the split tube arrangement permanent, you could easily attach it sturdily with a couple of pop rivets.
Love a good Sunday Funday moto video. Just woke up, and not even a full 1 minute later get a notification that you uploaded. Good shit man, more consistent than American Public Transit.
5:50 The problem is actually a cheap air hose. In order to fill the air up through the valve stem the needle on it must be pushed to access the inner atmosphere.
It's almost a good idea, if they didn't already sell the brushes with an extension made for the drill for like 5 dollars in amazon. Probably cheaper in aliexpress. Game changer for your toilet, showers, wheels, whatever.
To fit/remove bar grips - get an airline, blow air under the grip, it inflates and comes right off. No soap to get it to slide on, no hoping it will then dry out so the grip doesn't twist on the bar, no need for adhesive.... Normally an air nozzle will work just fine
the sock trick... there's always an odd sock, with no apparent reason why it's mate is missing (actually, I have pets... I know they hunt socks and take them to their friends' houses, why they do it I don't know... but they do it!) And yes I'm ignoring the safety issue of a sock on a Shoe, rather than a purpose made riding boot... but I will mention that if you drop a bike onto the side of a steel cap boot it drastically changes the shape of the steel toe which can wrap around the foot like a Vice! the hose on the funnel, well as a mechanic, i have a few of these with various length and diameter hoses... because some things have to be filled through small or inaccessible holes
Did not expect the bottle Hack to work 😮. It would be great to make a video about tools for wheel bearing removal. I could not find a nice video where trash tools are exposed nor good ones recommended
What are your thoughts on cleaning with kerosene? I’ve used it on both the chain/sprockets and wheels and find it to be more or less the only thing that really works (well). Super cheap as well, compared to all the dedicated cleaning products
Kerosene works great, just be mindful that it may clean too well for certain chain types. Ones that use o-rings to seal dirt out are a type that kerosene would be too aggressive. Since the kerosene will get into the are where the o-rings are and flush out the lubricant there. But that's the only issue I can think of. Wearing protective gloves is important because kerosene contains hydrocarbons like benzene, toluene, naphthalene, which are bad for your health if absorbed into the skin. Most other cleaners have harsh chemicals, so wearing gloves apply to them as well. Some people say it's flammable and shouldn't be used, but many cleaners are flammable, and as long as you are careful, there's no added risks.
That R1 came with a fuse puller as standard (in the UK anyway) for micro fuses. The slightly larger fuses were used on motorbikes that were not quite so compact.
i successfully get the 5yr old boy from down the road to clean my bike. He has small hands and get into places my hands cannot. I give him £5 his mum brings us sandwiches
I would recommend the welding blueish removal , i used to apply it by a sponge or brush and after a minutes just wipe it off sometimes needs a bit ofsteelwool but not often, depends on how nasty the pipes are. After the pipes looks as new again.
The air hose hack will work but it has to have the right connector. In the US the most common type is call " industrial " of " type M ". It may not be common in other countries. The fuse hack will work on the ATO style fuses but this is an old design that is not common on newer vehicles.
The washing up liquid/dishwasher soap hack is an old one. Put it n and leave it to dry. It's been around at least 40 years to my knowledge. If you don't have access to washing up liquid, you can use potato juice. Cut a potato in half, rub the juice on the inside of the visor and leave to dry... Both of these hacks are best done the night before giving ample time to dry.
ok, last one: I don't know about socks. As a man that rides motorcycles and whose house doubles as an art studio, I don't wear white ANYTHING, including socks. I know how to save your whites from yellowing, but no one can save them from blackening from used motor oil and grease, mica powder, graphite, paint, etc. However, you did remind me of the time I tried using waterproof slip covers. I didn't have a car for 5 years, and commuted on a motorcycle in an area that gets rain 1 out of every 4 days on average. too many times, I would have to get to work at least 30 minutes early just to dry off. and it was tearing up my leather boots. rubber slip covers definitely work if your problem is your feet getting soaked and the leather tearing at the seams. However, I rode a 600 lb, 40 year old Honda that required you to roll the bike to find neutral, and often required a push start. so the $10 rubber booties would last one or two rides before getting destroyed. 🤣
Random question: I got a new Bike like 2 months ago MT 15 and the breaking feels sluggish. Is there a way I could like retrofit good quality braking system like leavers, cylinder, piston, disc WITHOUT altering the ABS ??
Any extra layer on your visor, including soap, will reduce visibility when It's getting dark and (car) lights will be hitting prism effect insight your visor. Unfortunately this is also true with my pinlock, so it's a compromise like most things in life. When I have to travel long distances at night with upcoming traffic, but also when sun shines bright during summer days, I remove the pinlock.
For the "drill bit trick" you can just go down to Menards to buy a manufactured set. I use them to clean and buff my stainless steel pots and pans. I'll also be using them on my new (to me) 80' GS750 when I get it home.
the dish soap method might depend on the brand and type of the soap. i remember my friend making a mix of dish soap and other window cleaner when washing his cars windows and he rarely needed wipers since the water just beaded off :D also i think it also depends on how clean and scratch free the surface is
The sock or even a small section of sock could work to keep your laces from getting caught in shifter/brake lever. But yes motorcycle specific footwear would be best 😂
air pressure connectors are not the same around the world btw. i har a hard lesson with that when i bought cheap china airtools and tried to connect them to my compressor.. fuses also come in two sizes, you have the smaller ones on your bike, i have the more common ones in mine, shown in the video, but i have to check if they actually hat the little hook thingy to pull out old ones :D
For the last one just clean it, wait for it to dry and use black electrical tape. I'm going to be honest I didn't even clean mine and just surrounded it with tape and it worked flawlessly for me, but cleaning first is a good idea to get adhesive to stick.
Chain lube gunk- no-one sees it so don't worry. Wheel cleaning- just wipe off what you can or feel like or not. Shoe mark from gear lever- DCT. Oil fill funnel- dude, it's once a year! It would take longer to find a coke bottle, drink, piss, cut, clean, and make use of than it does to just use what you normally use. And the "at the track" comment? What are you doing? If you need to do an oil change at the track you have bigger problems than finding a coke bottle.
WD40 on a rag cleans wheels/swingarm well. Furniture polish cleans fairing/lights well. Cut the top part of a sock off, pull over toe section of sneaker on gear lever side - saves the sneaker & uses up odd socks. You are welcome 🤙🏻
Best way to clean headers is to cut a 1/2" wide strip of scotchbrite and a longer strip of rag. Put a dab of polish on the pipe and use the rag to floss the scotchbrite round it 😊
I agree with the proper bike boots, I have been riding for 22 years and the other week my bootlace got snagged in the chain as I was riding, my leg got walloped into the chain guard but luckilly the rear sprocket sheared through my lace, never had that happen before, lesson learned.
When I was a kid, a hack was exploiting a vulnerability and gaining access to a system. Nowadays, a hack is holding the lever down on the toaster for toaster toast.
Here's one- Fill the paint sprayer with cleaning fluid and use it to clean the chain. I don't have a paint sprayer... I have never tried it... But if somebody is willing to give it a try, just tell me whether it even works or not. 😅😅😅
Dude is going to be real disappointed when he finds out those stick tire inflators are designed to let you rest on the valve so you can inflate hands-free.
If don't need to scrub the rust it's better use wool\cotton attachment to the drill ,same goes for brush attachment for wheels,those one for detailers are constructed with metal shaft ...
Don't have the shoe problem. All gear, all the time, no excuses! I got rear ended by a truck a month ago. My boots saved my foot and ankle from being crushed and snapped.
1L/850ml bottle for the funnel would probably work better, sharper angle I'd also imagine if you already have compressor you could get cheapest possible spray gun for the cleaning trick instead of the bottle setup
In the old days , we used to put Saliva on our finger and smear a line along the bottom edge of the Visor to prevent misting. Didn't work. Why haven't we got heated visors yet? We have heated everyting else. 🎶You got wires Going in You got wires Coming out of your skin🎶🤣😂😂
It's hard to see in the clip but the air hose that guy uses has a direct connection like what servos in Aus have. Not a std hose. He's effectively just not adding the extension to something that is already designed to inflate tyres
You misplaced the fuse at the wrong socket; initially the 10 ohm fuse was in the middle socket, but after reinstallation you put it on the left most socket. Is your bike okay after that?
with the air, you've seen them do it in person, or online? because perhaps they just make it seem like its working due to "all sorts of air rushing". I don't see how a non-existent part would press down the valve core, but if you shove it on there hard enough, you could tear up the outer thread or bend the valve core. you've never changed one, I can tell. there's not much to them, which is why we bother capping them.
Of course i find out about the oil funnel hack 2 days after buying a new funnel (as the funnels i had were all too big). Good thing it was only a few dollars for a pack of 4
Ironically, my Ducati paddock stand already has a vertical tube welded to it, which holds a removable bar that is placed between the spokes to lock the rear wheel. I say ironically because, while I therefore have somewhere to hold a wheel spindle, I don't remove the spindle because it's a single-sided swinging arm. 🙄
What to do with your axel? Save time and material... set it on a friggen paper towel. Your holder is going to eventially be contaminated with dust, dirt, and grit.
The steelwool drill is all good until the drill bit digs into your pipes lol.
as if, i'd put a hole right in my engine!
what a painful sentence to read
Maybe a round wooden stick wood be “safer”.

I always got it with my helmet...in the drawer. I've never used it :)
been using one on my helmet for 2 years now. just got both visor and pinlock changed. I have forgotten that visors do actually fog up.
@@MrBCRCi do not have this issue when wearing glasses in my helmet that has pinlock.. maybe one of us is doing something wrong
They suck at night though because it makes lights appear as though your visor consumed mdma
"sell your bike, buy an Audi TT" Ha
When you buy an assorted fuse kit it usually comes with a little plastic fuse puller.
or just use halfway decent needle-nose pliers...
most fuse boxes that I've seen have a fuse puller in them, a lot of times in the lid.
2 types of fuses
I've been using water bottles as funnel when putting on new oil for years yet I have never ever seen a single video about it😂
If it works way better than a funnel, how is this guy rating it 5/10? 😅.
Pull the axle, drop the wheel, put the axle back in. Has the added bonus of lifting the chain off the floor as well
I do, put my axle back in the righthand side (
Dat wot I do.
I don't. I just take the exhaust off, and unbolt the wheel from the axle. No need to remove the axle, that can just stay in the swingarm.
@@fermitupoupon1754 The pros of a single sided swingarm eh.

I found Head and Shoulders dandruff shampoo works awesome.
The bottle 'hack' is a goto for all street/thirdparty mechanic shops in India. It's not a hack, it's our everyday normal😂
On a side note, always wear boots. Apart from the head, your legs are prone to injury. My dad was a paramedic for 40 years and advised me to wear helmet and boots always. (Now a riding suit is also advised, but you know what I mean)
Well, the legs are statically the parts that suffer more in a motorcycle accident. Also the frontal part of the face, so wear always a full helmet.
My hack for street shoes on a bike is to NOT use the ones with loose hanging shoelaces. Not only will you fall and damage your bike, but you'll look terribly stupid while falling down. At least tuck them away into the shoe (and then be paranoid and check if they fell out every 2 seconds).

You can use a hard piece of soap as an antifog. Rub it on the visor, then polish it. It‘s how Motocrossers do. It works very well.
Any extra layer on your visor, including soap, will reduce visibility when It's getting dark and (car) lights will be hitting prism effect insight your visor. Unfortunately this is also true with my pinlock, so it's a compromise like most things in life. When I have to travel long distances at night with upcoming traffic, but also when sun shines bright during summer days, I remove the pinlock.
There is no hack for anti fog for visor, get pinlock and be done with it.
Just don't breathe 😲😳🙊
Shaving cream works for anti-fog. Barbersaul is my preference even though it needs reapplied every two or three times I go out.
For the "drill bit trick" you can just go down to Menards to buy a manufactured set. I use them to clean and buff my stainless steel pots and pans. I'll also be using them on my new (to me) 80' GS750 when I get it home.
the dish soap method might depend on the brand and type of the soap. i remember my friend making a mix of dish soap and other window cleaner when washing his cars windows and he rarely needed wipers since the water just beaded off :D
