“Never redline it.” I paid for the whole tachometer I’m gonna use the whole tachometer

1) Let your bike warm up before ripping on it.
2) Keep up with your maintenance.
3) Use full synthetic oem spec oil.
4) Use high octane gas in newer sport bikes.
5) Keep the bike stock engine wise.
6) Don't run your bike at or near redline to avoid valve float.
7) Drain bike fluids before long term storage.

"Shift faster", "don't redline it"...

Me, being 16 years old and from europe with my 125 having 15 hp be like: bruh.

[Turtlefaceful]

Just rolled over 85k miles on my 08 Kawasaki ZX6R. Put gas in it, changed the oil, fed it tires. Still going strong as my daily commuter, and only form of motorized transportation.

Draining the oil when you store it is basically THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO.
Replace it with fresh oil, then store it. Everything that's covered in oil, can't rust.
If you're storing for a very long time (think several years) fill up the engine to the brim before putting it away. Otherwise you risk getting rust pitting in the cams, valvestems and more.

Just remember to drain the excess oil and clean everything before starting it again.

I bounced my Harley off the rev limiter once, but it was okay, it redlines at like, 2k... :D

[RG-a]

Please, for the love of all things holy, do NOT drain the engine oil. This will only make it rust faster. Ensure the oil in it is less than a year old, and roll your bike around in gear every few months. Oil stops rust. Why would you want to drain it

[eatsleepplayrepeat]

As for letting the engine warm up, you don't need to stay still until it reaches operating temp. Just keep the rpm low, like under 4500, until it's operating temp.

After years of watching this channel, I can finally watch this video and think to myself "I have a bike."

I really hope the rest of you who are waiting and/or unable to pull the trigger finally get that bike this upcoming year.

[mr.carguy]

As a beginner rider on a 1970s East German 2 stroke ‘simson’ motorbike I can confidently say that it only hits the redline when I accidentally shift into neutral instead of 2nd. 😁

[BobbyPhoenix]

I used to live in Pennsylvania and when the winters came I wouldn't drain the fluids to store it because I would start it once or twice a week and let it run for like 10 minutes. Never had any issues with that.

[Gypsy_Wyrm]

i still find it hilarious that he has a discord behind a paywall

[pviljams]

Warm up recommendation only applies to warming it up before higher loads. Most motorcycles, especially newer ones, will have a recommendation in their service manuals not to warm it up before ride as it might increase buildup of different sorts and rather drive it off without stressing it. Just my two cents.

[yee]

If you read some manufactures handbooks they actually recommend warming the bike up by riding it in low rpm, helps to distribute the fluids nice and evenly :)

[wes_d]

I might disagree on dry storage and suggest that you top everything off to eliminate air in the systems. Oil would get extra quarts and treated fuel to the max level. Heating and cooling on any vented system allows air (moisture) to possibly enter over time. Even better to not store and just ride all year.

[tscook]

If you're forced to ride with too low of an octane fuel, you should actually keep the revs up and the throttle (and thus load) low. Preignition is most likely to happen at low engine speeds and high load, so you should avoid that operating condition. This is because low engine speed creates more time during compression, before the spark fires, providing more time for the fuel air mix to heat up and potentially pre-ignite. High load also creates higher pressures, density and internal temperatures, adding to the preignition potential.

[abyssflight]

for storage fill tank with ethanol free gasoline, Ethanol absorbs water and causes all sorts of problems.

I always keep a Honda in the fleet, so I’ve always got one guaranteed working bike

Running up to redline occasionally isn't necessarily a bad thing. I run my current car up to 8k+ fairly frequently. It has over 200k miles on it and it doesn't use any measurable amount of oil. I once had another car with a very similar engine that had half as many miles and burned almost as much oil as gas. It was owned by an elderly couple that drove it like they were driving Ms Daisy. They sold it to a 20 year old who revved it like it was designed to be and wiped out the oil rings because the Pistons actually travel a bit further at high rpm. Manufacturers put the redline where they do for a reason and they take valve float into account.
