I had the WORST experience with Carvana. They have also been in the news quite a bit for shady deals and sub par mechanics. I am actually really dissappointed they took money from them.

[tattoosandtea]

Newbie rider here. This was SUPER helpful and I'm so glad I stumbled across your video. I've now done all of this and mega happy that my bike will treat me as well as I've treated it so far. Thank you so much!

[WanManolo]

my man, you deserve a lot of credit for this video. You provide great example and explanation on really crucial steps that many professional workshops do not share with customers and, in my experience, they tend to exagerate the difficulty. Thank you very much for educating us with simple and detailed explanation on something that might save us a lot of headaches. Cheers from Spain!

I have been a service advisor at a powersports dealership for the last two years, I can’t tell you how many times I wish I had access to a video like this to show my customers, everything you said was 100% true. That is why I love this channel, you guys actually care about helping people understand their machines better. It’s awesome

[DaveMyMateDave]

Even more than being a car driver and knowing a bit about cars, I personally feel every motorcycle rider as a bare minimum should know everything you have just demonstrated. The safe condition of your motorcycle is paramount. Thanks DM I hope people learn from this, could save a life.

[MrSuits]

Been watching Donut for couple of years now, I personally own 2 motorcycles ( one of them being a R3 ) didn't know half of this, Love the Motorcycle Content, keep it coming ... 🙌🏼

[GianLombardo]

Hey Jeremiah, just to add up to the braking part. Remember if your current pads are very worn at the time of putting the new ones you're gonna find you might not be able to put them in and have to compress the caliper piston to get the new ones in. I normally take the caliper out, put the old pads in the caliper and with two flatheads i push them back 👍 just to remind people the regular car caliper compressor most likely won't work on the small calipers the bike has.

[RoyalKnightCurly]

Love how Jerry literally walks you through every process and everything you need to know about how to fix or maintain your ride👍

[matthewfisher]

Jerry ALWAYS describes things so well and with such detail. He could make a 15 minute video on how to walk and I'd watch it and I'm 99% sure I'd still learn something new.

[JohnRyan-nfbw]

Great demonstration of the maintenance work that needs to be carried out on motorcycles; to keep the rider safe.

[evanniederheitmann]

As someone who just bought their first motorcycle and has had it for less than 1 month, I am going to do all of these things!
Keep making motorcycle content guys this is awesome.

[ahallman]

I'm glad to see motorcycle content. A lot of the car community are bike enthusiasts. You're starting off this series right. Thanks Jeremiah.

[palehorserider]

THANK YOU for bringing back the wrenching! I love everything Donut does, but the actual auto repair/maintenance/modding stuff is the absolute best and the reason I subscribed! Nothing better than to learn from Jerry, Zach and the guys on how and why stuff works. I don't even plan on buying a bike, but am so pumped for the bike stuff with Jerry. Keep it up!

[GamePsycho]

I’m glad y’all make videos like this for new riders, showing them how to do a full tune up is very important, people should all know how to at least do a tune up in there bike

[ysmangel]

Really glad I found this video. Planning on getting a bike got my birthday and really wanted to know how the up keep differs from a car and how different maintenance is. I'd really rather prefer doing my own maintenance so this has been super helpful!

[mandanceparty]

Next episode idea: a deep dive into suspension setup; preload, compression rebound damping adjustments and what each one does and how to check you sag and all that! Thanks Jerry 😘

[DIELIH.]

Fun tip - when checking fluids and filling up make sure it’s leveled and not on its kick stand. You can over fill it Love the motorcycle videos 🔥🔥🔥

[trutrek]

Pretty good video. One thing I would add is that you should always check the gap on the new spark plugs to make sure it is correct as it could get dropped while still in the box during packaging or shipment.

[RobWhittlestone]

Great channel! The one thing I would have also quickly checked is the lights - headlight main & dip beam, indicators and rear and brake light - it's no fun being rear-ended by a vehicle whose driver was not paying attention. (Ask me how I know!) All the best, Rob in Switzerland (decades of motorcycle and MX-5 ownership).

[yellOStuntguy]

Would love to see more videos like this from donut again. Most of the videos recently seem like they're just for the memes, but I miss the days of B2B and Money Pit where I actually learned things about cars.
