Dave, you never know when your card just doesn't want to work. I live by this for driving my truck too. Heck, on a motorcycle, a $5 bill will do the trick for most of us.
Also join the AMA for the towing if nothing else. The membership is cheaper than AAA and it covers every member of your household and every vehicle. I've only needed to use their service once when my stator failed. I was in the middle of nowhere (15 miles from La Pryer, Texas lol) and was picked up in 45 minutes.
That's interesting. One other thing to consider is that some motorcycle insurance companies provide roadside service as an option when buying your coverage. AAA is incredibly expensive for motorcycle coverage as you have to buy a higher tier package for that.
Interesting thing I know about Texas (Not sure about other states), you can get towed for free to the nearest gas station using the emergency phone number on the back of any Texas license. I know it wouldn't have helped you much because it wasn't a gas issue, but just something to be aware of.
My motorcycle has been stuck at work. I'll call the insurance company. Oh no... I'm pretty sure I didn't pay for roadside as my dual sport is pretty short range and I own a truck...except the engine blew on the truck. Sigh.
I used my road-side puncture repair kit for the first time last month. Absolutely brilliant! It took about 2 minutes and hasn't lost 1psi in pressure since!
I'd add a 6" vise grip, which can even be used as a footpeg in a pinch. Also, instead of a plug kit with an CO2 inflator, I'd usually carry just the plugs/glue/reamer and a Slime mini-pump with battery terminal clips. Great video, Ari! This is useful stuff.
I bought slimes most expensive pump like 3 times. Those things are garbage. I bought it about 4-5 years ago. I kept taking it back until I was like, "Refund!" They tried to keep the sale. I was like nope. If the most expensive one doesn't work. I'm not doing cheaper and I'm especially not trying the cheapest! Maybe they'd so okay for a motorcycle. Total fail for a top off on my truck.
I've been hooked onto this channel since I watched the video 'Scrambler in the Rockies'. You guys are amazing and your videos are much appreciated. Thank you :)
DUCT TAPE! But the major difficulty is that SO many modern bikes have little or NO storage capacity. The Yamaha MT-10 not only comes with no toolkit, it has ZERO under-seat space. Many bikes like that now. Insane.
I think that knowledge is the most important. I could have all the tools in the world, but if something happened while riding, I'd have 0% clue what to do.
If your brain says stop at that station for fuel, do it!!! Just because my GS hold 9 gallons, doesn't mean I don't like the tank as full as possible. I've failed to listen to the voice in my head and not get gas when I should have. To make things worse I failed to flip the tank valve back from reserve to on. Thankfully I was with in push distance of a station when it finally ran dry. Thanks for the tips, enjoy these videos, keep them coming.
Another excellent video mate.I also carry a spare Spark Plug.Always need a spark to make other stuff(fuel) work..Keep up the good videos Mc.Some of us learn and master from your information.
these are actually nice tips! my rc46 vfr800 already has a tool bag as stock equipment specifically for the bike, enough to remove both front and rear wheels, remove the tank, or even the spark plugs if I have to, or remove all the fairings to do some engine work at the road side. I think it even had some wrenches to adjust the throttle play heh... They really have thought about anything! They alao added small pliers for anything else. I added some working gloves and rags underneath the seat as well. but that silicon hose is a nice tip as well, even though I have a fuel guage on the bike... so all I should get and put under the seat, is a tyre plug kit for now. thanks mate :)
thanx for the effort in helping the less moto savy green horns. a well prepared bike is the safest way to go. a flat tyre is usually a streetbike guys biggest common problem on long or short trips.
Hay, great video, one addition... The liner bags that come in those boxes of coffee are actual metal, and so fuel proof. The top is plastic so no good for long term, but they fold down to nothing and can be an emergency fuel, or water carrier.
theomnipresent1 up in Canada Tim Hortons sells a box of hot coffee called a "take 12". As expected holdes 12 x 8 oz. The bag inside of the box is similar material to those aluminum safety blankets, but thicker.
Ah, and with spoked wheels and tubes - add a few pounds and storage space for tire irons and all tools needed to remove your wheels - and two spare tubes (patching tubes is risky).
What i did at the end of this riding season was i was about to change my tires so i used it as a practice for my tire plug kit, so i was 100% positive i could do it even under the cover of night, Tools are no good if you dont know how to use them, and its just not something i wanted to learn at the side of the highway
It's unbelievable how lazy and dependant on others and technology people are today! So many comments about "just call AAA/AMA/etc". Have you people ever heard of areas with no cell signal? Phone broke? Battery dead? You're in a fairly bad area and don't wanna sit for hours (they're never even remotely quick getting to you) waiting on help? Jesus people are lazy and helpless now days! Probably the same people too lazy or stupid to even change a tire in their car. And definitely the people who just take their bike to a shop and pay somebody to do all their maintenance. People have lost the pride in doing shit for themselves anymore and being capable of taking care of your own stuff.
Instead of a tire patch kit. I would just use Ride-On tire sealant. And I would want to to carry strong & lightweight, multipurpose tools. Like maybe a titanium adjustable wrench...I have to see if that exists. And a titanium pipe, to give it more leverage.
Both my bikes got spoked rims lol....patching tubes ain't easy. My Harley I use towing if needed, my dual sport I use heavy duty tubes with Ride-on in them and carry co2 cartridges.
I have a CO2 kit - it's fine for short/weekend rides but doesn't replace a quality compact pump for touring (not a Walmart or autozone unit... those are crap). There are a couple small units that will get a bike tire up to 40lbs and still fit in a compact pack.
Three more important tools you left out. 1) A "Road Side Assistance" Card offered by most insurance Companies.... 2) A HIGH-POWERED "flashing" RED LED road flare light... and 3) A small mirror (usually used in daylight), to alert for help. Especially if you break down in a desert, or in an isolated part of geography.
When I click on your link to your webpage the video has sound but no picture! This is the second time I tried to view a video on your webpage and got sound and no picture.
Hi there I enjoy your videos very much. I see that your garage is fully loaded with tools. Is it possible for you to make a video on all the tools to have in a garage??i have a ktm rc 390 and I am happy to see it in your garage as well. I like to fix things at home but don't have compressors and all that stuff. I just need a guide to buy these things. So if you make a video on it. It will be of greatttt help. Thanks in advance.
Had a huge 16 penny nail in my tire just the other day (MT07, rear), luckily it stayed inflated until I was home. But when I had it repaired at the local tire shop, the nail which was bent about 30 degrees and off center by a bit had spun around while i was riding and tire getting lower. The result was the point of the nail chewed out a good portion of the bead on on spot. I had it repaired and mounted, but I think I need to replace it before I do any hard cornering or high speed touring. Question: Do you advocate the use of that liquid tire goop? I never though it was the best option as I thought the extra crap sloshing around inside the tire was not a good thing, but now I'm thinking it may have prevented carcass damage, but that is not a sure bet. Wish I could show you a picture of that nasty bit of metal. In addition do you agree that plugging also is a temporary fix until getting the tire properly repaired?
does anyone have any experience using the CO2 cartridge? I tried to find one but could only find ones that looked like they were big enough to inflate anything which had a solid metal top which didn't look like it was gonna be punctured by the valve in a hurry. If anyone has any recommendations I'd love to hear them!
One thing you forgot to mention - a spare master link. Yeah, chain can break, has happened to me. carrying a spare master link, a clip and a set of pliers will get you home :-) My bike has an inner tube so the plug kit won't work.
how to take care of your riding gear. Leathers, helmet visor, etc. That should be a good one to. Is not related with the motorcycle itself but we need it to ride.
till you snap a clutch cable, then the story from every shop is "sorry man id have to order that, should be here by friday", (arrives monday afternoon)
well, you just grab them by the hair bounce their head violently off the counter 3-4 times, then say "how long was that again flapjack?" .....works every single time.
How would you siphon that gas without a mouthful of gas? Dont they have fittings you shake or bulbs to pump? Furthermore, on a modern bike, where would you put that? Late 90's early 2000's supersport bikes all had huge trunks, you could fit a folded up hoody in there.
because they are crap and you'd be insane to use it on motorcycle. At least on a car you have 3 other wheels. But yeah, that stuff is super lame. Tried it on various things and its never worked. Easiest thing is just carry an inner tube.
Fair enough. I have only had experience with it in cars and on my pushbike. Every time the bike had a flat/breakdown, I'd just call someone to come get me in the ute or truck.
I can only speak from my own experiences with it - there may well be some of that squirty shit out there that does work, but I've tried half a dozen of different ones as I pick up thorns on the quadbike at work all the frikkin time and none of them has ever worked for me. I just carry plugs and a pump now :)
my friend used some and it conjured up a demon which then haunted him for the rest of his days....I think it was that pink stuff. For that reason, I dont recommend it.
Hmm. Been riding for 15 years, never carried a single tool, and never been 'stranded' (which a quick call to my country's version of the AAA would solve). Humbug.
jz422 depends on the make, but usually they do come with a shitty kit. my bike has a small kit under the rear fender, which is a major pain to get to in a pinch.
I'm not sure how to siphon directly from one bike tank to another with just a tube. Easier said than done for sure. The intake of the siphon must be higher than the other end of the tube to start the siphon. Hope there's an embankment or curb nearby. Maybe you lean one of the bikes way over and hold it as you start the siphon. Maybe do a video on the best way to do this safely?
jurassiclizzard get a clear tube to see where the gas is then suck it up the hose to get it started. You can also buy a siphon hose with inline pump if you'd rather not taste what your bike drinks.
I loved this idea. So I bought some clear tubing, put 2 jars next to each other on the counter, & tried to siphon water from 1 to the other. Got about a 1/4 cup. It kept stopping. That means if it was gas & it stopped, you're going to be drinking gas to get it started again. Over & over. I finally gave up. So yes, unless you have more than just a tube, this won't be very useful.
aight, a question! Cruz Tools Speedkit (japanese) VS Oxford Underseat Toolkit (metric). I don't see any Motion Pro multitool kit on my two go-to Canadian motorcycle places. of the two, which is your pick?
That pen catch was amazing.
I chuckled pretty hard at that. It was like a cartoon moment
i went back and watched that several times

Throw a $20 bill in there too, always handy to have a little emergency cash on hand

just sell the helmet then you have cash

Two videos in and these are clear & concise! Quality is hard to find these days. Keep it up.

Who would thumbs down this guy? He is awesome. He gives good advice with no BS brand owned selling pitch.
I like your info at the end of your video "Patch from the inside" . Yes, even aircraft tires can be found with an inside patch like that .
Thanks Ari! You guys are my goto for bike maintenance. Plus loved the Gromkhana videos!
Dang, never would've thought about carrying the siphon. Great vid guys, definitely a good heads up before our next riding season.
These videos are really f-ing awesome. Keep them coming! Cheers! :)
Be careful. My mom told me if I kept doing that I'd go blind
I also keep a machete, generator, mini fridge full of craft beers, a 50" tv, and a portable gaming pc, and a pop up tent. I am also homeless.

I'm really digging these helpful vids. Keep them coming!
What tire plug kit do you recommend?? You should list the product's...
opaque siphon hose... no pump. which brand of gas goes best with the fish?
@Motorcyclist Magazine if only this video was reviewed before MC commute episode for the Aprillia!
vice grips are good for emergency gear shift clutch or break levers.
I have a CO2 kit - it's fine for short/weekend rides but doesn't replace a quality compact pump for touring (not a Walmart or autozone unit... those are crap). There are a couple small units that will get a bike tire up to 40lbs and still fit in a compact pack.
Im gonna ad a clear tube to my road kit, good tip.
Great tips and collection of tools, Ari.
Please add tool list to the description of the video! Thank You!

notice he did not say anything about a tire pump or compressor what good is a tire plug kit without some way to put air into the tire
These vids are Fantastic thank you very much. learning alot.
How about changing the brake oil???
Cheers
That isn't oil. It's often DOT 4 brake fluid and if it isn't Dot 4 takes more heat than 3 so it's a safe upgrade.
get a magic siphon hose...just wiggle it back & forth in the tank and presto ...siphon starts without you sucking on a gas hose.
There is just one problem ,what about Two-Strokes that don't have an Oil res extra? Well most do but there are many that still mix I think
Wonderful video! Thanks from Texas.
The pen catch is extremely cool. That could've been the whole video.
the hose is worth its weight in gold ,, great video
1:23 perfect damn throw and catch how the hell did you do that
Don't forget the TP, beats leaves every time.
For your bunghole, cornholio?

And where's the paperclip?!

You mention how contemporary motorcycles are tubeless. How about all of the rest of the motorcycles that have tubes?
@MCGARAGE can you put a link for the CO2 and adaptor for tire inflation
I got one question for the people who are running low on fuel the golden rule did you turn on the reserve
how to take care of your riding gear. Leathers, helmet visor, etc. That should be a good one to. Is not related with the motorcycle itself but we need it to ride.
Please tell me what fuses I should carry? I have a k5 gsxr1000. Thansk!
+Mad Mat An assortment. They sell them in compact kits at the autoparts store.

MadMat ....really dude?
GunFun ZS K-5??? Better buy a bunch
what are the fuses for?
till you snap a clutch cable, then the story from every shop is "sorry man id have to order that, should be here by friday", (arrives monday afternoon)

Furthermore, on a modern bike, where would you put that? Late 90's early 2000's supersport bikes all had huge trunks, you could fit a folded up hoody in there.
You need a small air compressor to fill your tire after repairing it also.
1:24 That was a pretty epic pen toss.
I see that no one has mentioned running tube goo, or any of those 'spare tire in a can' solutions. Why is that??
because they are crap and you'd be insane to use it on motorcycle. At least on a car you have 3 other wheels. But yeah, that stuff is super lame. Tried it on various things and its never worked.

Great video. More please.
what? no duct tape?!
What’s you opinion on dark siding? Good or bad .
What are the bungee cords for?
I'm about halfway there I can't find a small enough tire kit tho
Hmm. Been riding for 15 years, never carried a single tool, and never been 'stranded' (which a quick call to my country's version of the AAA would solve). Humbug.
How about a small jumper kit.
Please do video on full vs Half Clutch
Awesome video!!
is it ok to pour tire repairing gel into the tire???
just love those videos
How would you pump your tire if it goes flat. Even though you plug it
arvin mendoza that's what the CO2 inflator is for. It's very light and compact and one of the big CO2 cartridges like he has will fill a tire back up.
I'd carry more than one CO2 cartridge. Personally, I carry a very small compressor in the tank bag. I've got the bike wired up to run it.
62shalaka Sportbikes don't have that kind of cargo room though. We have very tiny storage areas under the rear passenger seat and that's it.
Bigg ass Zip ties , can multiply tie your flat Tire around your rim for adventure bikes in the Bush.
Thanks for the vid, really useful
some more excellent advice!
A few band-aids may be good too.
Do the newer bikes not come with tool kits anymore?
jz422 depends on the make, but usually they do come with a shitty kit. my bike has a small kit under the rear fender, which is a major pain to get to in a pinch.
How many takes did it take to do 1:23?
Tire sealant is a lot better than using that plug. In my opinion.
Great tips thanks.

Good point. And don't expect to siphon from an automobile's gas tank to a motorcycle... the car's gas tank is much lower.
Jim Schwartz you can also siphon into a container then fill the bike.
I loved this idea. So I bought some clear tubing, put 2 jars next to each other on the counter, & tried to siphon water from 1 to the other. Got about a 1/4 cup. It kept stopping. That means if it was gas & it stopped, you're going to be drinking gas to get it started again. Over & over. I finally gave up. So yes, unless you have more than just a tube, this won't be very useful.
Thinking out of the box beats the Hell out of the By The Book Bobs..
What case did you put everything in?
southern goer I want to know this as well, what make is that zippered case?
Go to a Books A Million store and buy and old timey day planner and throw the guts out.
I use a small camera case, fits perfectly under my passenger seat
Thank you. 😃
plz explain ride by wire
