    Stop being so lazy and using rattle guns on every bolt, especially ones with small Allen/hex heads, and maybe you won’t strip so many of them, especially the ones that are OEM, model specific and expensive or no longer obtainable. The Coke bottle works best if you drill a hole (very slightly smaller than the tube) in the lid, instead of crude slits that will leak. Also, a few small nuts in the bottom of the bottle works best for stabilising it. That’s better than mixing the brake fluid with water, and part filling the bottle even before you start the bleeding process. I don’t believe you actually thought out these tips before making this video.

    For the brake bleeding one (number 8) I use an empty Heinz Ketchup bottle as they have a rubber spout sorta thing which holds the line in place in the bottle, makes sure brake fluid don't come out when turn over and doesn't pinch the tube either.

    One point about cleaning the helmet visor. Always go for horizontal or vertical strokes while wiping off instead of circular motion. That way, the dead bugs or stones and grime won't scratch in a circular motion leading to swirl marks. At night, when incoming traffic is on high beam or flashes their dipper, those swirl marks will provide an Interstellar experience when we least want it. For brake bleed, I also use a small coke/Fanta/ketchup bottle but I also zip tie that to the wheel spoke so it doesn't move or roll on the floor. Also, I make sure I put the bleed pipe line in such a way that it makes a U shape. This way some brake fluid stays in the U shape, to let me see if at all there are any particles in the brake fluid and easily understand when the old brake fluid has run out of the system and new one has started to bleed out. Old brake fluid is usually darker in color than new one.

    When your brake fluid starts to look like tea, that’s when to replace it, because it has been absorbing any moisture that got into your brake system, and the darker it gets, the closer it’s getting to its limit of absorption. That’s bad, because the moisture/water can then start to corrode the ferrous components, like the pistons, possibly destroying your calipers and master cylinder. If it looks like Coca-Cola or Guinness, it should have been changed a while ago, you slacker! Get to it.

    Always remove dead bugs by soaking a few paper towels soaked in hot water folded ,hence multiple towels so it still covers full shield. Lay on shield to soften dead bug guts so no scratching, dead and hard will scratch like all get out. You want the dead guts soft as mayonnaise before wiping off.

    I have to warn you about lubricating your chain with wd-40. WD-40 is not a freaking lubricant it's a solvent. It will cause your chain to wear considerably faster. Do you want to mix up something, mix a little bit of transmission fluid along with some steel wool. Not only is transmission fluid a better rust retardant, you can also add a little bit of acetone to it and it will spread into more areas

    I use a bolt extractor kit instead of a torx bit to remove stripped allen head bolts, it really digs in and removes them easily. If you buy the kit you get a few sizes, with allen head bolts you dont need to use the drill bit end just the easy out end. Rusty chains look like new in a couple minutes if you lube them and go for a ride lol.

    Great video like always! But I have to disagree with one very popular misconception. It is not recommended to use WD40 to clean oring chains, because it can damage rubber orings really quickly and make you throw away your brand new chain. Way better, safer and cheaper alternative is kerosene which you can read about in most of the bike's manuals. Combined with some nice chain lubricant used regularly will grant you thousands of kilometres on one chain 🫡

    It is okay to wipe down outside of chain to remove excess chain lube but only if sprayed on rag and use rag to remove gunk, never spray on chain as you state bad for o rings and removes lube where it is needed but great for getting lube you can see that collects dirt. Lube you can see is useless so spray wd40 on rag then use rag to wipe outside of chain never spray wd40on chain NEVER

    Rain-X makes waterless car wash and rain repellant solution in a spray bottle. Good for if you live somewhere where you don't have access to a hose, and don't want to take your bike to a wash station just for a little touchup. It's safe for plastics as well, so it will even work on your visor and helmet. Of course being a rain repellant(waxy things that stay behind after you wipe), it's not suitable for chains and parts that get hot, but for everything else it works great.

    Some of these tips I havenr heard of, others like zip tieing the front and rear brake lever I already did (and yes its because the air bubbles are pushed to the top). Luckily I hve a 3Dprinter, so I 3D printed a Gopro mic adapter that is placed directly behind the gopro, and fits seamlessly. It would be cool if you did a small bit on how to remove stripped nuts (for example on the MT09, because I stripped the selflocking nut fasteners on the rear sprocket 😫🥴) Lastly do not clean your chain with steel wool if you have a coated chain (not raw!!), youll damage the protective coating and cause the chain to rust! Always love watching your videos!! Friendly greetings from Germany!

    In several years of daily riding I never had the key problem precisely because my only transportation was my motorcycle and the key lived on the same keychain as my front door. It meant my key was either in my pocket, in the ignition, being used to unlock the seat/tank, or with my ID/cards while I slept or showered. Even if it weren’t with my other keys, it never spent more than a second in the seat lock… just long enough to turn, remove, and slip in my pocket. Most bikes let you secure the seat without a key. I can’t imagine one that doesn’t. I kept my door key jammed in a pen cap so it wouldn’t scratch anything and had a disconnect from the rest of my keys that I don’t always need (two rings held by a disconnect).

    Always great stuff!! Instead of Velcro for your media mod, you may want to consider 3M Dual Lock Reclosable Fastener . Like Velcro, but never wears out! I use it to connect an audio recorder to the back of my helmet. Been on their for 2 years and works just like when it was new.

    Instead of velcro, look for some 3m dual lock. In fact, anywhere you'd think to use adhesive velcro strips, this stuff is better. It holds more firmly to itself, and the adhesive is way better as well. It also doesn't get dirty like velcro.

    I used to work on computers and one model had a panel that held cover for fan filters that used I think what you call channel lock, looked like velcro as it had sticky side but mount side had like lots of little pegs with balls on tips and both sides looked alike and when clicked together held real firm better than velcro and unlike velcro where on side fuzzy side wears out and gets all super fuzzy both sides were plastic. I have never seen it any=where for sell though since the computer days.

    Indian Scouts have rear brakes that are difficult to completely bleed, even dealers will do it and give you back spongy brakes (yes, personal experience). Two things: Speed bleeders (awesome) and then the lever trick. I use a brick and a bungee cord to hold my brake pedal down, next day I had brakes as good as new. Only had to do it once. Keys: if your bike is in the garage, just leave them in the ignition. I've never had to look for mine.

  • @TheHortond

    The bleeding thing is the best idea I have seen. But people screw it up in one way. Take the coke bottle with the hose in it and hang it where it is above the bleeder valve. With as straight a hose as you can get. No down loops. That why when you open the line all the fluid and air that flows into the line stays there and the air flows up and only fluid has the chance of being sucked back into the caliber. You don't even have to close the valve before letting off the handle. It makes it easier if you are bleeding a line by yourself. I couldn't get the air out of a line once with the bleeder valve and it wasn't getting a peddle feel either. So I pumped the pedal up until I got the smallest resistance and jammed the ice scraper on it to hold it down. Waited a bit and when I came back it finally had some pedal. It seemed to give the bubbles a chance to go to the master cylinder and get released when I let off the pedal. Nothing but fluid flowed back in. This was a car but seems like it would work on a bike. Maybe easier too.

    The trick works on pretty much anything hydraulic. Part of the reasoning is that. The master cylinder, as a general rule of thumb, is on the highest spot of the assembly. The best place for air to move into. I've been using it for decades. ;-)

    I’ve got a riding hack: always ride into a parking spot in a way you can ride out. Makes life easier. Don’t worry about heaving to waddle in reverse. Or dropping the bike. Or pushing it. Eventually you’ll nail it everywhere and be a parking pro.

    You must never park anywhere awkward, I park on the side walk a lot (legal where I live) and there is zero chance of parking in a manner that avoids wheeling the bike out backwards, often enough.

    This also applies to your car. If you need to make a speedy getaway for any reason, you’re lined up and good to go. It’s also much safer than backing out into traffic, especially if your view is blocked by a van or truck.

    I did the WD-40 on the chain of my Tiger after some rust, and in a few months I ended up with stiff links. I think it passed the o-rings and attacked the grease. 210€ for a new chain, labor excluded. I suggest you be more careful using it.
