Everyone has to learn. Just be careful. You can buy another bike, or get that broken-off bolt removed with an Easy-out - but eyes and fingers don't grow back.

"Putting on these barend mirrors shouldn't have taken you 5 hours" @5:40 hit me right in the feels :(

Absolutely I am a car mechanic and have been one since I was 15. I had my certification before I had my driver's license and all the tips and tricks you list in this video are 100% true on no matter what you're working on. Spot on man please keep up the good work.

I like both hosts. One is more comedic amd the other is a little more straight forward informational

Title reminds me of a book I read when I was a kid called Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance. Basically taking care of your bike brings you closer to your bike and the benefits from taking care of your bike iirc.

Great advice Spike. 👍

The great thing about a motorcycle is how we’re encouraged to work on them by the factory owners manual. My car manual barely even suggests I replace light bulbs myself.
I think a great starter bike is an old one in decent shape, pay cash for it, and learn as you go.

Just recently gotten into bikes. Currently getting my license.
I knew nothing of cars...that's 4 engine swaps ago. Haynes was the way I taught myself. Got my own shop now.

I can't concur enough; you're 100% spot on! When I did my first service on my Royal Enfield, I not only took my time; I split up the job. I did the valves first, and it took me like 10 hours. I took breaks; I watched videos again; took photos to reassemble everything; and I checked my torque specs. A day or so later, I did the oil change. The job came out well, and my bike ran a lot better!

Ahh those frustrating moments when you put all your fairings back on thinking you’re all finished then boom💥 you find a bolt or part that obviously goes somewhere underneath those precious plastics.

Could you do a basic tool kit for every bike owner that could basically get you through most of the maintenance tasks?

I did my own valve adjustment on an 05 Ninja 636, I have a bit of experience working on cars I can change my own oil and replace brake pads for example. But I had never tore into an engine like that. Was a nightmare, after doing it I started the bike and it made an awful noise, totally thought the cam timing was wrong and I just bent valves and destroyed the top end of my engine but the timing chain tensioner was just set improperly. In the end I was very glad I did it, learned a lot and gave me a lot of confidence working on motorcycles and cars.

That take a break for every hour tip is spot on, im mostly a car guy, just got into bikes. But it’s the same thing with things going wrong. We all been through the frustration of something not working out after hours of trying, MOSTLY BECAUSE YOU’RE TIRED to just take a break leaving it for the next day, and accomplish in 5 minutes something you spent 2-3 hours the day before

I just got a brand new 2020 Kawasaki ninja 400 as my first bike and these videos are so much help

[deliriousjake]

Just did my first ever oil change on my bike yesterday, and i learned two things:
1. Apparently oil filters can be a pain in the ass to remove.
2. Sometimes, the best way to solve a problem is to hammer a screw driver right through it lol 😅
(Ps. I am in no way, shape or form a mechanic. Before you decide to hammer a screw driver through any part of your motorcycle, please consider consulting an actual mechanic first)

If you really want to learn how to work on your bike, car, truck, van life or whatever then don't be afraid of fucking it up. It might be expensive, it might be time consuming but failing and working out what you did wrong is key to learning.

ive been a hobbyist mechanic (AKA too broke to send it to the shop 😉) on a few machines in my time and these are quite vital tips! patience, taking breaks, knowing your limits, and lefty loosey are definitely more important than one may think. Knowledge is power, but everyone gets to the "f*ck it" mentality... some quicker than others, and on these machines that's life or death - or at minimum an injury that could have been avoided with a little patience. Great vid <3

Properly matching the faring bolts, screws, and nuts to the right locations. I also spent a little cash buying a box of metric hardware. Best 20.00 I ever spent for my bike.

[Ledfndr]

I build and tune engines in the car world, grew up in a family of mechanics; there's a lot a bike can teach you if they are your first foray into wrenching.
