Adding to the pushing the bike backwards. If you’re pushing it this way, you have no way of braking. Solution: Leave it in gear & hold the clutch in to roll. Release the clutch to stop.🤙🏼
I was using the two hand method once and had a funny mistake. Released the clutch to stop from rolling down the driveway and forgot I had left the key on... It bump started for a second and caused my first ever drop.
@@JASHIKO_ road bikes in the 200kg range are fine. We do that to turn the bike around as well. I even saw a guy do that on a GS1000. Side stands are stronger than they look
It's ok if the kickstand is on the frame, wouldn't do anything, but some bikes like ducati have the kickstand on the crankcase, you can brake it with this method. ALso it's better to put the lub inside the chain instead of outside
I some how started riding less than 6 months ago and I noticed when I rode in the rain my gloves worked on my phone afterwards so I tried licking them one day. Haha
Free hack/tip: Dig around your closet and find an extra luggage strap, guitar strap, or anything like that. Fold it up flat and tuck it in your riding bag or jacket pocket, and when you get off the bike, loop it through your chin bar or chin strap and boom. Instant carry strap for your bucket. You can wear it crossbody and stuff your gloves in it, take off your jacket and drape it over the helmet too. Simple and extremely effective. Personally, I use an old guitar strap and a neat carabiner and I just loop mine through the ratchet strap so the helmet hangs more level and less likely to drop a glove out. It's such a simple and easy hack, and takes up almost no space. Really worth it.
For the kickstand/chain lube trick: just use a piece of a wooden bar or something to place under the opposing side of the wingarm, that way you don't have to hold the weight of the bike and can easily do this alone
Another greasy hands tip: Soak your hands in liquid dish soap and let it dry before starting the work. It soaks into your hands and helps prevent grease, oil, dirt, etc from getting into all the little spaces in your hands. Mind you with Covid 19, most people have nitrile or latex gloves around the house now - I highly recommend those over anything else.
Beginners will definitely benefit from these simple bike hacks. Great vid again, CC 👍🏻💯 Edit: Btw, something to add regarding the glove in helmet hack. If i carry my backpack, the helmet will go onto my backpack strap for BOTH my hands free to do my shopping 🖐😁🖐
Walking the bike: use the engine to walk the bike forward, it conserves energy. Also during U turns on slopes, reverse downhill and use the engine to go uphill. Always use the clutch as the main stopping mechanism while reversing downhill, the front brake has very little bite on those conditions.
You should lubricate your chain on the inside of the chain, not on the outside as shown in the video. Keep aware that the spary doesn't get in contact with your tires or brakes.
Biker all my life- so far! We are a strange but friendly community. Strange bc what we do is essentially a solo event- community bc even lone wolves like myself feel part of something. And just as in all walks of life, there are good and bad. Get two wheels! Bikers, real bikers that is, will always support another bike rider. It’s doesn’t matter what you ride- from scooters to goldwings (😄👌) , two wheels good👍😄😄
My favorite one is parking the bike uphill, was usefull some days ago, thanks. 🔥 I watched it on another account, that's why I knew it and it was helpful. Watched it here too so I help out in some way 👍
Not sure if you have mentioned on a prior video but my favorite so far is when in a tight spot pulling the bike up onto its kickstand and pivoting it 180 degrees so it faces the other way and ride out.
When i go shopping i put the helmet strap around 1 of my backpack's arms and lock it in there so I can have both hands and have the gloves on the helmet with the visor closed
To lube the chain you can also lift the right side of the swingarm using the kickstand and put a piece of wood under the right side, just be careful not to lift it to much
QUICK TIP: If you don’t like walking your bike backwards out of parking spots… When you pull into a spot, get off and lean the bike towards you like he does in this video to lube his chain, only get the both tires off the ground and spin the bike on the kickstand 180degrees towards the front of the bike and boom now you’re ready to ride out of the spot and it only took 2-4 seconds. I’ve done this on sport bikes, dual sports, and dirt bikes. The easiest was on the heavier sport bikes.
When I had a cruiser I wasn’t able to use a motorcycle lift or paddock stands to lift rear end. So I used a ratchet strap and a car Jack. One hook wrapped around the left fork. The other hooked to kickstand while down. Tighten just enough so the kickstand can’t move. Then I used a car Jack and lifted from the opposite side on a sturdy part of frame. Lifted the bike just enough to get the rear tire off the ground so I could do rear maintenance.
I put a car jack under the swing arm, opposite the kickstand side. This raises the rear wheel and makes it accessible to lube and clean the chain. Besure sure to have a cloth in-between so you don't damage or scratch your swing arm.
In November my humerus bone was shattered leaving me with 2 metal plates and 18 screws I had 6cm of my bone taken out so I'm 6cm shorter on my ,left arm. Also the 2 metal plates bend around my elbow limiting how straight I can get my arm. Still awaiting further surgery .... but I WILL be back on my bike ONE DAY soon I hope... watching videos like this, just simple tips and tricks make me so excited to get riding again 🤣🙏
Since I've started riding I learnt a few tricks to ease my life: *glasses cleaning wipes* I buy them in bulk as they are cheap an effective. I stuck them everywhere from my backpacks to my documents. They cost next to nothing and are perfect to wipe your visor, googles, phone, headlamp or even hands or inside of your helmet as they contain alcohol so they kill germs and smell nice. *Little bicycle tool kit* again something cheap and handy. They cost just around one or two pounds and work on almost all screws on your motorbike. Heck, bike is a bike. It's cheap I take it :) *Strapping helmet to belt loop* works best on micrometric straps and on beltloopy pants :) Sometimes I use tensioner strap from my jacket but I prefer to use the belt loop. This works best if you need to carry second helmet for a short ride or you go on a short walk as helmet will pull your pants and wiggle around. All in all useful but not always
Time to clean my gloves. Another option is getting some graphite power (or crushed pencil lead), some pva glue (preferably clear-drying), mixing the two together and painting the tips of your glove fingers. It's a little stiffer but flexible enough and works okay.
I'm not a beginner but always enjoy your content. My partner got a Duke 390 about the same time as you, did you know there is a hidden grab indent handle under the side seat fairing for when pushing backwards?
You need to lube the chain from the inside. That way the lube will properly sit between the chain and rear sprocket. Lubing the chain from the outside, like you showed on the video and previous video's, doesn't lube it very well at all.
One good hack a friend told me is, if you have a main stand or a paddock stand when cleaning your chain and lubing it. Put it in gear, saves having to move the wheel yourself by hand, also helps with cleaning
1. This video is tips for beginners. Spinning wheel of death vs newbie = bad times. 2. 99% of lubes on the market need at least a half second to dry. Even at idle in 1st it will sling off. 3. Do you really want to be hanging out around the hot RUNNING exhaust while spraying a flammable product? Just one exhaust pop away from turning your chain lube into a fairing scorching flame thrower.
I have a 'hack' that works very well. When removing decals, heat them first with a hair dryer. You can warm the decals, they become soft, and will peel right off in one piece, and leave very little glue behind. (But do NOT use a heat-gun as it will damage the paint.) A hair dryer works wonders.
My bike weights 250kg with no luggages, so good luck lifting that up on the kickstand for lubing the chain... The old ZX6R I used to have was a breeze to pivot in the stand, even to turn it around... the Hayabusa, not so much.
0:52 I just strap my helmet around my backpack's shoulder straps and let it dangle, free hands for shopping, even handy for putting small things into it and 7:00 you can also just prop the bike up on a wooden block or something under the opposite side footrest or frame/swingarm, just enough to clear the rear wheel off the ground.
@7:09 you could use a trail stand or an block of wood or other material to place under the right footpeg holder and you basicly have a centerstand fieldcrafted [tough make shure your front brake is on by tighten it with rope, zippty or valcro band]
1) You can buy gloves that have a print to the fingers, thus you can use your smart devices. 2) Also, there is an option to smartphones almost 3 years now that enables the touch screen to work with gloves.
As a rider I'm not sure why I watched the whole video.. But I will leave a like anyways. Also, nice beginner hack. I use my pocketwatch pocket on my pants to put my key in. Perfect size and easy to take out.
Graphite powder and water or graphite lube on the tip of a glove finger works to activate touch screens. You can usually find it where they make keys or sell locks.
Any hacks for changing the fork seals or lifting the front end up to change it.. I don't have a bike lift and need to change my seals rather myself then pay a shop!
Good point about taking the gloves out of the helmet to air out at home, but is it really true that prolonged glove/helmet mating can deform the foam in the helmet? Surely the gloves don't impart that much force on the foam? I have a helmet case on my bike and the best place to put the gloves is in the helmet for storage while at work. I can imagine over a few years of doing that, that's a lot of hours. Should I store my gloves separately?
To wash oily hands you can use laundry detergent and cooking oil. The oil will ease the grease while the detergent is rubbing your hand. In my case I use cheap work gloves with nitrile coating to avoid that process, specially trying to clean black grease nails...
Wash your hands really well before putting on your gloves if you've been wrenching. If even a tiny speck of chain lube gets in a glove your hand will come out greasy for the rest of time. You always think eventually the glove will run out and the problem will be solved, but paradoxically it won't. I'm fairly sure motorcycle gloves start producing sticky substances themselves once they've gotten a taste of one.
it still works, the weight balance is very similar on any bike, i also recommend starting the bike and lifting it up in neutral, then popping it into gear after you lean it over.
Not a new rider. The kickstand hack is not bad but a nice stand for a few bucks is worth the money... everything is much easier. PS: You should always lubricate the chain on the inner surface and in the best case down at the rear sprocket.
one alternative to the glove issue, what i usually do when i try to use my phone without having to take the gloves off, what i do instead is only take off the thumb portion of the glove on my dominant hand, easy to take off and put back on. Though, this only works if your gloves allow it, and if you are a one handed phone user. over all, i think its better than yanking my hand off with the glove.
The lubing of the chain you can also do with a pair of jack stand and solid bolts that fit where you would have the spools, poor man's spools and then just take me out job done
Instead of laundry detergent, use any type of cooking oil, wipe it off with a cloth and give a hand wash with hand washing liquid. This way it is not harmful on your hands and do get rid off the toughest staines, works all the time.
It's easier to manoeuvre a bike by facing your headlights when pushing it backwards. It needs some getting used to but once you tackle it you will never go back to push the bike while standing on the side. This method may not work on bikes with handguards though. Keep the kickstand down and use the clutch for safety.
I was always told DONT put your gloves in your helmet. The Velcro will damage the lining and especial now, you run the risk of bacterial infecting your face guard.
I did the solo chain lube on the side stand before and actually landed my 210 kg motorcycle on top of me. I was lucky to just squeeze to the side, still getting properly mashed but not covered underneath. After that my back hurt for 3 days and my bike had a couple new scratches, chain still not lubed. 3/10 wouldn't try again.
licking Covid off you finger 👌🏽 hey at least you can get online and order a test kit. You can buy a product that is painted onto the fingertips making them touchy but have to top up when it wears off. Or buy gloves that are touch sensitive. Before Covid I’ve used my rouge and nose to operate my phone … makes you look so special! Kids love it hahahah.
Adding to the pushing the bike backwards.
If you’re pushing it this way, you have no way of braking.
Solution: Leave it in gear & hold the clutch in to roll. Release the clutch to stop.🤙🏼
I was using the two hand method once and had a funny mistake.
Released the clutch to stop from rolling down the driveway and forgot I had left the key on... It bump started for a second and caused my first ever drop.
adds ressistance
If you push a bike backwards you have the front brake
you do, you simply just let go of the seat again and go for the lever
How fast y'all be pushing your bike backwards 👀
One minute of silence for every kickstand abused from now on, for the glorious chain lube moment.
Been doing it for years on my dirt bikes. Wouldnt risk it with a road bike though. Way to much extra weight too.
@@JASHIKO_ road bikes in the 200kg range are fine. We do that to turn the bike around as well. I even saw a guy do that on a GS1000. Side stands are stronger than they look
It's ok if the kickstand is on the frame, wouldn't do anything, but some bikes like ducati have the kickstand on the crankcase, you can brake it with this method. ALso it's better to put the lub inside the chain instead of outside
Be careful with the kick stand trick,kick stands have been known to snap under that kind of pressure
Then you be even more surprised that you can swivel it 360 if you lift both wheels off the ground.
I've been riding for more than 20 years and still learned something from this video (namely, the finger lickin' good tip).
Yep, I didn’t know that either
Same 👍🏻
Same here
I some how started riding less than 6 months ago and I noticed when I rode in the rain my gloves worked on my phone afterwards so I tried licking them one day. Haha
You wouldn’t be licking it if you’re in COVID-19 infested world. Gas station for one.

this tip is underrated dude
Wow, I need to look into this
Use 2 and wear it like a backpack 😲
just a tip, dont leave the goggles on the helmet the strap will loosen and in a year or two you will have to buy new ones (tip from my racing life)
I fold up the strap then just rest the goggles on the helmet
my goggles stays on the helmet from the day i bought them (about 4 months ago)
Beginner here,I've been learning alot from your contents💯💯
@Nelvin 7408 bro what 😂😂
I've pushed my bike hundreds of klms oiling the damn chain, kickstand brilliant.
You can also use a car jack on the opposite side(I put it under the swingarm) to hold it up safely if you can't find someone to help you :)
Just buy a bike stand/paddock ma dude :)
bro, kickstand and putting it on a gear is a lot easier than hand pushing the tire
@@ygzhnztrk till your fingers get caught up between the sprocket and the chain, I've seen it, it's messy
start the bike and kick it into gear for an easier time, coming from a dirtbiker who does their own maintenance alone
For the kickstand/chain lube trick: just use a piece of a wooden bar or something to place under the opposing side of the wingarm, that way you don't have to hold the weight of the bike and can easily do this alone

I've done this after putting the front wheel into the curb. Worked in a pinch

Been riding for 8 years and only new to lube the chain on a paddock no on the side stand
I did the solo chain lube on the side stand before and actually landed my 210 kg motorcycle on top of me. I was lucky to just squeeze to the side, still getting properly mashed but not covered underneath. After that my back hurt for 3 days and my bike had a couple new scratches, chain still not lubed. 3/10 wouldn't try again.
licking Covid off you finger 👌🏽 hey at least you can get online and order a test kit. You can buy a product that is painted onto the fingertips making them touchy but have to top up when it wears off. Or buy gloves that are touch sensitive. Before Covid I’ve used my rouge and nose to operate my phone … makes you look so special! Kids love it hahahah.
From the oil on the hands, vegetable oil is great. it is much healthier for your hands than any kind of detergent.
