What strange hacks do you use that I missed?
Put your cap on the other side of the strap and your good
To lift up your rear wheel for lubing the chain, put kickstand down. Put a piece of board (of the right length) leaning against the right end of the rear axle. Tilt the bike to the left, and the piece of board goes under the axle nut. Now your bike is standing on its front wheel, kickstand and that piece of board.
I always keep a soft, dry cloth and a couple of luggage spanners underneath my pillion seat. Whether you need to get rid of the pesky flies on your beautiful chrome visor, you want to dry your seat after having the bike stand in the rain or the package of toilet paper you bought doesn't quite fit into your backpack, these are by far the items I use the most :3
Please make more life hack videos! Love the vids man
I use sidekick stand to turn my bike around, put all weight on it and its easy to lift both wheels and turn your bike in place fast
I like to clean the first sprocket with my sleeve while engine is running and in 6th gear.
🤣
Same here
That’s really the only way to make sure it’s clean
Wdym I use my bear hands while my friend revs the f*ck out of the thing
Beast mode
Used the helmet as a basket trick.....got off jail yesterday
Tried to do this last week but the stupid lawn mower would not fit in.
Hahahaha I believe you I think
I even saw you there
You were very upset that time
So how did u comment here?
@@shafaykhan9339 😐 oh poor you
That was a joke
@@Ranveer_sangha03 I know I was just kidding
Please don’t service your chain while your bike is running in 1st gear! I lost ja part of my thumb because I was shortly distracted and the chain pulled my finger into the rear sprocket. Please don’t do it! No matter how cautious your are !
@Jacob Morales I don´t know how you relate my advice to turn your back wheel by hand while cleaning your motorcycle chain with hindering other from archiving their dreams ?
You're ridiculous
Yeah I'm deffo doing this. Nobody cares about your thumb
Thomas, People won't care about what you're talking, untill they get hurt doing it.
same happened to me
Throw it on the floor a few times, so the next time you drop it you won't feel so bad.
That's actually close to being good advice. Gotta accept the fact it will happen
😂🤣
I used to use the kerosene trick in the 1970’s and still do. It’s a fantastic and bike-friendly cleaner and won’t leach grease out like many other products. It’s also good if you have a reservoir on your water blaster. Leaves a nice shine and acts as a release agent for road grime. Pretty effective on brake pad dust too.
Thanks for this
Aeroplane Kerosin? Where ca we bey that?
Spray chain from inside, that way you know centrifugal force will help spread out the wax
Also if you like fingers and dislike accidents don't fucking put the bike in first gear on a paddock stand while you're trying to spray lube on the wrong side of the chain.
Was thinking the same :)
Can't stand it when I see someone lubeing the chain on the back 😵
centrifugal force is not real.
@@JCAHANES doesn't matter it's in a stand sure durr durr
Careful with the 1st tip, you don't want to put heavy items in your helmet because it could damage the EPS liner :)
Exactly my thought. Damaged EPS = poor fit. Poor fit = Increased risk of a tragedy
If the EPS liner is damaged by using it as a basket then either the liner was already compromised or your buying tungsten bricks...
@@pb222221 It's designed to absorb force over a large area, if you put small heavy things in it, it COULD damage it. Personally I don't want to run the risk of ruining an 800€ helmet because I couldn't be bothered to pick up a shopping basket but you do what you want obviously :)
Or make your lid smell like whatever funky thing you put in it.
or scratch the visor with metal and sharp objects
I always mount a spare garage door remote control under a fairing or seat, then solder wires from the switch on the remote to a momentary switch mounted in the front fairing or side body panel. It looks cool and is very functional.
I’m in the military and I used the hat trick with my uniform cover, rated up to 105 mph so far!
For the bolts life hack, I highly recommend a magnetic tray or container of some kind. Holds them and will keep them where you put them.
I finally bought one of these last year. For some reason I wanted one for almost 15 years, but finally splurged just to get free shipping from advanced auto. They are worth it and they only cost like $5. I don't know why I'm so cheap, but my 401k thanks me for it. My bike obviously doesn't.
That’s not a “hack”, that’s a “solution” 😜
School hack for bikers
What you'll need:
-A helmet
-A phone
-Bluetooth in ear headphones (Airpods or so)
-Long hair
What you'll have to do:
-Put your phone in the visir like shown in the video
-Take the headphones, put them in your ear and make your hair hide it
-Start Netflix and enjoy School
Greetings from Germany 😂🤞
I'm telling your teacher! lol 😂
If you use the recommended gear oil to lube the chain it’s very easy to apply with an old tooth brush and you don’t need to have the wheel moving whilst applying it. Just fill the bristles of the tooth brush and it’ll be enough to do 1/4 of the chain, then just move the wheel around to do the next section. Remember your not really lubricating the chain, your only preventing corrosion to the links so no need to lather it everywhere, just a nice thin coat over the links.
Hat trick is good up to 200+ mph. allegedly 🤣
Stick a couple of bits of Velcro to your tank and you can attach your gloves when you stop ,saves them blowing off the seat.
Oh.. nice one. I'm gonna do this!
Smart
Or just put gloves in helmet
@@jacobhooper359 Difficult if you are wearing it.
Never never never service your chain with the engine running. You might do it ten times with no problem, the eleventh time you grab a rag, just to wipe off a little excess chain wax and say goodbye to your fingers.
Do it on your own risk, but don't promote this shit to others.
Btw your swing arm already got some bad scratches from your 'hacks'.
Suggesting anyone do this is completely moronic. The down side every time is you lose your fingers.
Raoul Raoulsen bro he is one moron he know shit about bikes and second he just do that for yt a fucking moron..!!!
just dont wipe the excess off with the bike running, problem solved, the actual lubing part shouldnt put any part of you in contact with the bike, so spinning wheel should be fine
i was just going to write similar stuff. I agree way too dangerous.
Disliked the video as soon as i saw that part. I've seen a guy lost his finger because of that shit
Helmet tripod, that's a nice hack.
But PLS don't do the other things.
Don't EVER do anything with the chain while it's running. It's stupid and dangerous!
Anders Karlsson heh now you tell me 😉
I don't even understand why you should do it it's so easy to spray it on😂😂😂
@@kurtismeinhardt68 Yeah totally too late for my fingers. I kept trying to perfect my technique. Had to quit after 10 attempts. ;p
@@motocrossedits64 It's the easiest way to get rid off tools in our community ;p
its very useful i always cleaning and oiling chain with 1st gear if you know how to be clean 1st gear its not stupid and dangerous
Never lube your chain with the engine running it's too dangerous
This hack is now causing people to lose fingers....
Can someone please explain to me why it’s so dangerous?
Only if you're a liberal, in that case you shouldn't be riding a motorcycle at all....
Chop chop haha
Buy a car maybe even walk wrap yourself up in cotton wool everything is dangerous
"There is always bound to be a bike that avoids your entire tool collection" 😂😂
He had a camera mount on the speedometer. 🤣 This guy’s sense of humor is awesome.
you must never turn the wheel with a gear because it is very dangerous I am a mechanic and a friend of mine is cutting his finger as his
Indeed, incredibly stupid idea. The lube will fly off instantly too.
after spray lube on chain need to wait at least 10 minutes.. that what written usually in instruction of lube.
That is how I have always lubed my chain. Just dont put your fingers or anything attached to you close. Always lube the chain after riding so its warm and expanded. Pretty simple
only an idiot would lose a finger doing that, just dont put your fingers near when running, easy
Friend of mine lost a thumb to this...
Diesel fuel works great too for cleaning chains. Pretty much same as kerosene. Also when living your chain make sure its warm. The lube penetrates much better on a warm chain vs a cold one.
@Palm Coast Adventures image but your talking about cleaning vs lubing. After cleaning the chain take a 10 minute ride, warm it up and them lube it. It helps the lube to penetrate in between the o-rings and the small spaces it normally wouldn't. Yes lubing a cool chain looks like it works just fine but you can't seen anything except the outside of the parts, the inside is the most critical and is what needs the line the most. I clean, dry, ride for 10 minutes to warm up chain, put it on a rear stand then lube with bike in first gear. That allows the lube to work it's way into the hard to reach places and extends its life greatly
@@mikecheeze4312 I haven't got a motorbike yet, but I am all for extending service life of consumable items, although not to the extent of say extend brake pads life by trying not to use them lol, but I like the thought of getting the most benefit from lubing the chain by cleaning it drying it off then getting it warm before applying lubrication. I hope I remember this tip.
Best place for machine screws ... back in the holes they came from ;-)
Just throw them into the gas tank..you'll never lose them ever again
I tend to do cardboard outline for small parts or things with multiple screw sizes.
If I can il put them back in the part itself while. It sits off the bike.
magnetic metal bowl works great for any small metal parts.
With my note 9 I don't have to use a timer. Just push the button on my pen and it takes pictures. That's why I got the phone lol
The one with the gummed up front sprocket is what I do as well. That stuff surely increases wear on the chain. Weird that no one, apart from you ever mentions it.
2:50 you joking with hat gopro mount blocking the speedo right?
Lol just blu tack for the shot, was wondering if anyone would notice!
Of course he isn't. We all ride by our feels anyway. If you look at your speedometer you don't know what each max. allowed speed feels like on your bike which means your a rookie, and are endangering yourself by taking your eyes off the road ;p You're totally screwed if the cops see it though... Them in tha cars don't understand tha feelz. (camera angle is shit though so pointless.
0:42 thanks for the 4k wallpaper. and thank you so much for that helmet tripod idea.
Is this video a wind up?
I don't normally write comments on videos, and certainly not as long as this, but some of this needs to be questioned... Sorry for being that guy...
1. I was always told by my instructors to put helmet on by pulling the chin guard as pressure on the straps can damage the lid... I never even carry it by them... let alone load em up
2. Not sure about this... I would check the load rating of the bolts your using. If they snap you'll wish you paid for proper kit. I never use a jet wash (dont see the point and like spending time with my biies) but if you do, make sure you re-grease and never fire it closely to any bearings (wheels, yolks, etc)
3. Just no. It's gonna slip and you'll mess up your fork legs, or worse, the bolt... get the right tool... you'll use it again. Someone else may be able to confirm, but I would guess torque values would be off if using this method when doing back up?
4. Like it!
5. Nope. Scratch bike much? Helmet as a beer opener, c'mon. Also, who takes a beer from fridge to bike without opening it? Beers don't mix with bikes.
6. No. Hell no. You wanna loose fingers... cause that's how you loose fingers. No. Stoppit.
7. Forgot to get a container..? Go get one and carry on. Unless you only have 3 bolts to take off... then how about a pocket??
8. Nice.
9. Service your bike properly. As others have said, check the chain type and sensitivity to the cleaner. Front cover tip is spot on.
Sorry to be so critical, I liked the video shots and edit, but just don't agree with some of these hacks.
Ride safe everyone 😁👍
I hate the first one as I end up scratching my visor or even worse the pinlock inserts...
Totally agree with you my guy
Never occurred to me to use the helmet as a tripod. Hahaha.. that is a good one... Cheers!
My helmet always sweaty dude not sure bout dat
a friend of mine almost lost his thumb because he was cleaning his chain with the bike on and his young nephew on the bike. The bike was on center stand and his nephew accidentally stepped on the shifter which crushed his thumb.
"Even despite her drinking
problem" I laughed hard on that.
I got a r1 when i put the stand on i turn it on in neutral and the back wheel spins slower and its also safer any forse put on the wheel will stop it from rolling
Only works when the oil is cold though, but yes works safer then!
That just means ur clutch cable is too tight ....need some play or slack at levers also means it's burning out clutch...
@@Whiztek2023 I hate to be "that guy" but you're wrong, with the bike in neutral the rear wheel will spin due to a small amount of friction in the gear box causing rotation on the output shaft not because the clutch cable is too tight
@@schleighbells9035 Sorry I think you're addressing the wrong person...no worries though
it's actually really hard to tell if it's ironic or not and that makes it 100x better
For the Allen key tip, I sure a spark plug socket, fits perfectly in there
hahaha every time you say big ass Allen key I crack LOL
Awesome Vid once again
When you run it in gear to lube your chain, make sure you don't forget to put your kickstand back down before taking it off the stand. I did that once... still have the scratches to prove it.
And maybe just have the bike in gear to speed up the spin and then put it in neutral it will spin more tjan enough times probably 😉
@@gabrielpokrajac5941 Either way don' forget the kickstand!
On my bike, and I'm sure most sportbikes, if you click into gear with the kickstand down it kills the engine. So I have to put it up to spin the rear wheel regardless.
@@MOTO809 yeah it kills the engine on most bikes but i just added on to the hack to make it a bit safer
And don't forget to cancel your signals either.
I did the helmet basket thing and parafin as a chain cleaner since years ago hahaha... cheers mate! and that helmet as a phone stand to take pic is awesome!
I really like you're video's mate. Keep them comming.
You're a genius. You saved my money!! thanks!!
1st tip is a bad one. I used to put everything in my helmet and it scatched the inside screen like its been sanded down xD
That's not even the biggest thing. The EPS that compresses to save your brain in an impact will possibly compress from what you stack inside making it unavailable to help you. Same reason you NEVER hang a helmet on a mirror, grip, dick, whatever.
I have been doing that with my hat for years. Except turn it the other way so the wind doesn't blow it out lol
Nice 👍🏼 love the video
OOoooor you know you can strap your helmet or your backpack and shop like a normal person
Or have a box strapped to your bike to put shit in.
I like your video but don’t agree with the bottle opener at least for beer. You should never drink when you ride ( Open The Throttle Not The Bottle )
Drinking and riding is not the point. You can open a coke. I made it very clear that I don’t advocate drinking and driving in the real beer opening video I thought it would just be general knowledge in this video. 🙌🏻
@@ChaosCauses I also noticed because I happen to drink them too, that you featured Heineken 0% alcohol free beer in your demonstration. They're great for getting that beer taste but being able to tay 100% legal and sober...just don't waste beer next time as you spilled. Ha ha. Where in jhb you based dude? cool videos
I guess it's a cool trick while sitting in the garage with the homies tho...... till they try it on your bike👊👊
@@reeper98 bike rallies, garage, when the fucking thing is dead at the side of the road and you are waiting for pickup and have beer in the bag....
For the allen key one, try just using two smaller allen keys that add up to the same size as the big one would be.
My zx14 has I assume a 22mm Allen bolt on the front. I found a 21mm mag nut from a car in the shed. Fits well enough with a 21mm socket and breaker bar. Has served me for years 😅
Or…crazy thought…get the right tool for the job.
not really hacks just cringy stuff you are doing on your private time really
Glad I’m not the only one who does the cap hack
I just cut my hair real short ;p
1st hack might lead you to trouble man. Could be mistaken by some people that you're shoplifting
getting tackled by security at Walmart!!
@@garyjohnson1970 sounds like a good way to gain another insane story to tell your mates. You don't even end up in the hospital and a broken bike with this one!
You could just have the helmet on
@@hastymxb that's not allowed in most stores. A lot of robberies are done with helmets on. Especially in europe and south america
Haha thats how i always steal lol
Everyone probably knows but Wd40 is amazing for getting oil and brake dust off your rims and rubbing a pencil (graphite not a kids colouring pencil)😂 on your bike key when it’s a bit sticky in the ignition
You are a god. Thanks mate!
I don't even own a motorcycle, let alone a motorcycle license, but I found this very informative 👍
The thumbnail was the best one
The video was pretty good but the first hack can easily be bad for the safety of your helmet, cause it compresses the eps foam in your helmet which is necessary for your safety
I always have a cap the opposite way than pictured in the video and I’ve gone 160+ like that haha
good work good advice brother
I love how good these videos are and they have convinced me to get this vehicle that I am destined for.
I have z1000sx with side boxes which fits 2 helmet and you can take them off in a second, shopping is never a problem for me, the box fits 20 bottles of beer also
Hilarious video, had me giggling like a school girl! As a mechanic your hacks were something that I assumed everyone knew. But sadly this is not the case. Don't fully agree with your chain cleaning, but at least you said a disclaimer. So I just wanted to add a tiny bit of safety advise. Please make sure that the bolt you use is a "Hardened steel bolt" of at least Grade 8/Grade G. Not just any old bolt that will fit into the hole. This will be much safer lifting your bike and keeping it secure and safe on your swing arm stand. Because as you said, we all have a love affair with our motorcycle and I'm sure we'll do anything to protect it!
enjoyed the video!
Hilarious...the beer and the intimacy..hahaha, I love the nut/hex key hack.
Just fit a scottoiler to the chain. My old CBR daily went eight years with only one adjustment required. Keeps the chain clean too. The only thing I miss about my old Goldwing is that it swallowed all equipment so you didn't have to carry all your stuff about. Got the weekly shop in it too. The other 98% of the time it was a heavy PITA!
And NEVER use your helmet as a basket. There's nothing to stop items from deforming the inner foam or scratching the visor. Its as bad as dropping the helmet.
I did what you need for yrs , lubricants onto the chain , ,in the video your spraying the stuff in the wrong places, the only place it needs putting is on the inside were the teeth of the sprockets make contact with the rollers , think about how much lube you will save and how little will flick off on ur bike Cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧
I subscribe just now thanks for the effort...keep it up...stay safe always
I really love the way you care your Motorcycle
I would like to add that if u put too heavy an item into the helmet can affect the eps foam by compressing it and decreasing its efficiency
Hey guy's i got some Motorcycle Hacks to: If your fueltank is empty, go to a gas station. There are several dispensers where fuel comes out, so your bike runs again.
If your bike is dirty, use some water and some cleanser to wash it. So your bike is clean again.
If your tire lose air? Don't worry just use some air pressure to fill it up again.
Hope i could help you all with this strange and unusual hacks ;). See you next time!
Christel Metz 🤣🤣
Awesome bro 👍🤟
Love these hack videos👌🏻
Helmet camera hack was the best!!✌️
“Kerosene will not destroy your O rings”
WAT DID HE JUST SAID?
What adout engine degreaser, its made for cleaning in engine bays, and there' lots of ruber under the hud of a car
It won’t. My Suzuki shop manual states to use Kerosene to clean the chain.
The kerosene has been used for decades till all the advertising of other means of chain cleaners came out in a big way and so manufacturers said it would ruin your orings just so you would buy their product
I use the hex end of a sparkplug socket on the hex axle end. Use a ratchet and extension in the end that a sparkplug would fit into.
I love how you went to Builders Warhouse with just a bag and a basket 😂
0:17 yeah like you can fit that on your motorcycle😂
I like the cleaning or lubing the chain while the tire spins due to engine running but the problem you'll run into on bikes with traction control (2017R6) is the check engine light will come "on". Just fyi
That’s very interesting, mine never gets upset and it has TCS
I've always done it that way until I tried it on my 2017 R6 and now I have a lovely check engine light on?
@@stephencarbajal5657 i dont think it has to do with free wheelin your tire. Whats the code you got for the check engine light?
Does the dealer did the troubleshooting and reset the code, can't remember the code but that's what they said?
@@stephencarbajal5657 wierd, never heard of that happening but anythings possible i guess
Good ideas. Thanks for sharing
Simple, fun and helpful.
I put 170km/h with my cap this way. He never flies. Another way to put, is in the oposite side. The cap will stay hold between your body and the stripe.
These are terrible. Now I know why the level of squids continues to increase exponentially....
And this video will help manage their population ;p
I plan to buy my first bike and after watching countless videos over the years, tips from this guy always seems sketchy or wrong to me.
Ideias incríveis. Parabéns!
Love your guy Martin sticker on your helmet 👍🏻
Your R1 is a beauty mate!
Yamaha r series is really cool, i hope someday i have one☺
cool hacks buddy! love them
Instructions unclear. Now I have bolts rattling inside my fuel tank!!!
Thanks for the hacks even though i dont have a motorcycle
That’s how I put my hat! Only lost one in all my time doing it. Lost it going 160mph lol!
Anther great video! Keep up the good work!!
garrett sherman , wow!, you find a way to let us know that you ride at 160 mph!, what a jerk!!, btw if you lost it you don’t know if it was at 50, 80 or 100 mph MORON!!
@@carlosgooglemaps94 yeah... except for the fact that you can literally feel it on your back when they fly out.. at 160, f u
Nice bro cheers for them!
Interesting video! Thanks
You owe me a new cap.
helmet as a tripod. Thats one awesome hack
Good tips 👍
many of these i already used... still work great... thnx buddy for show those idea to evyone...
No, thank you to give as this great tips. Fortunately, I don't have problems with my hair, because I don't have 😂😂 so I keep with another nine tips 😁 big hug my friend
im so happy my bike has a drive shaft!
Until it is time for repair cost.
@@L.V-Rider i drive a BMW K75, old model with over 200k on the clock, still no problems, else more than enough spare parts :)
I know many people riding 1200 gs bikes with prop shaft problems costing a lot.
@@L.V-Rider yeah, that is a newer type, that is a problem, but the types before 1990 are called Flying Bricks, and thats for the reason they are realy good haha
Mark Janzen my 83 Yamaha has 140k on the original shaft and diff
🤣🤣 man!! You just gained a subscriber! Awesome content
Wow, the fact that you actually recommend using first gear to clean the chain just proves how much you have to learn.
NO ONE SHOULD EVER DO THIS.
New drivers....don't ever do this.
I had ten fingers, I didn't need them all.
Hey bud I see you are in jhb, I like your style well done
I am too use this hacks in my own. Lubing chain on 1st gear work great for me about 12 years. But for this trick person should have brain in head ... :-D
Thanks
Great video thank you for sharing
CLEAN YOUR CHAIN, Fasten to old tooth brushes bristle to bristle with elastic bands, dip them in cleaner and pull them apart to put them onto the chain and turn the back wheel. Rinse brushes as necessary. Dave
Now, *this* is a great hack!
