      Thanks! Motivation is something I think everyone deals with, you only get to see a snippet of my day, there is definitely massive lulls in motivation most days!

    Hey man, just recently came across your vids.
    Currently I'm in training to be a firefighter, and in my spare time I was looking at doing part-time bike work. Im pretty mechanical friendly, as I absolutely love working on bike and cars. I appreciate the information and being honest about it. It may not make a lot of money, but it's what I enjoy doing! Love!

    Motoscan I purchased that myself excellent bit of kit for any BMW, keep the OBD adapter under the seat because you never know while out on a ride you might throw a code. Been doing my own mechanics since I was 13 ish now in my early 60's still wrenching my spanners. Restored my 34 year old 1990 ZXR750H2 (see it in my UA-cam channel) eight ish years ago purchase my 2022 BMW S1000RR M Sport last year don't do much to that mechanically because of the warranty but I managed to source a PDF BMW workshop manual for it there's a shite loads to learn. New sub and bell clicked Mike great channel will be watching more. Ride safe bud

    Behind any successful businesses is someone who has worked incredibly hard and someone who is oassionate about what they do.
    And when i say successful, i mean someone who is in the black and are happy.

    Tip on the bmw alarms if you push the arm button until you get the double beep and 3 indicator flash it’s in transport mode and won’t set off with motion

      Service mode lol my 24 y/o ZX9r's original alarm has a service mode, I think most bikes will as they make them self arm in like 2 seconds

    I recently found your channel through your shorts, now loving watching your full length vids! Then I looked at where you’re based and was chuffed to see you’re in Norwich! Definitely will be paying you a visit with my FZ6 soon😁 - Ross

    Really like your content Mike. If you were to start over, what would be the best way to train as a bike mechanic? Cheers

    Great video, but I notice that your putting in 10w/40 oil. The manual says 5w/40, would putting 10w in the bike make much difference?

    Can you make a tutorial about how to bleed abs brakes with vaccum?

    Do you prefill the new oil filter with new oil and lube the o-ring during an oil change....or directly put the new oil filter on..?

    Why is it I see a lot of bikes in the UK use power commanders? Is there not a lot of shops in the UK that flash ECU’s or are you guys not allowed to flash ECU’s out there?
