I've been a professional mechanic almost 30 years. Your oil filter hack was the coolest trick I've seen in a VERY long time. 🔧👍🏻

That’s gotta be the smoothest advert intro I’ve ever seen! 😂

finally some more QUALITY bike content

One tip for motocross riders I used a lot in the past; after putting a new air filter on your bike take a woman stocking and place it over the air filter, at the end tighten it up with a long piece of string that comes out on the side of the bike. Do your practice on the track (as long as you want) and if you decided that you are done then pull the rope. The rope will remove the woman stocking along with any dust or mud on it and you will be ready to race with a brand new air filter! (I know cheap cheat but saved me a lot of money changing air filters doing practice and amateur off road racing back in my youth where money was limited)

Better trick for getting nuts onto awkwardly placed bolts: take the correct sized socket > cover the hole with a single paper towel > shove your nut into the socket hole. The paper towel should close the gap between the nut and the socket just enough to hold it in any direction.

A part from the hacks, the way you integrated the sponsor of the video was great. That's how KZreadr's should be doing it. Not interrupting the video, but adding value from it. Nicely done!

The grinding paste hacks great...used this over many years to help with worn Allen bolts.

Easier way to repressurize aeresol cans: run the can under hot water. The contents will expand from heat, temporarily repressurizing your can. Works for spray paint as well.

Loved the screwdriver/nut one, and the oil filter removal is very clever. One hack I've used for years is, if you don't have proper hand cleaner, you can wash your hands with soap and some sugar granules. The sugar will agitate the dirt and help remove it much quicker than just soap and water

Another trick is to put lotion on your hands before start working. Dry skin sucks way more grime, while moist skin is easy to clean.

Re the screwdriver/nut method, I have a better way. Get a socket of the correct size and a strip of paper. lay the strip of paper across the socket and push the nut into the socket. The paper takes up the gap between the nut and the socket and holds the nut in place. Use an extension to feed the socket onto the nut and tighten it up.

Bro never disappoints with the hack videos

Most definitely the last one. Love it!

With the stuck screw bit. I recommend a manual impact driver. Especially when you strip your stock tiny front brake cover screws.

Loved the cable lube hack, using the air compressor to pressurise old aerosols that have no more propellant as well as the screwdriver nut positioner. Pure genius !

The one for the nut you can't access is BRILLIANT!!

last hack was really good

Great tips!

Maybe sacrilege, but wd40 is really good for cleaning the chain.

I was watching your old video and get notification of new video 😅

The "Nut Drop" method is good, but I've always just used a tiny bit of Blue Tack in the end of a socket to pop the nut on, then once it bits, pull off the socket and remove the Blue Tack and then tighten up the nut correctly 😁

The lapping paste on the worn screw is a great idea.

For the upside-down nut situation (that sounded wrong, sorry) there's another solution. Put a bit of kitchen paper, or thin cloth in the socket. Push the nut in and it will stay in place. This saved me dozens of angry moments 😅

The Platic bag lug tool & the Hose clamp oil filter remover.

The hose clamp is my favorite tip you gave , thanks 🛠

when oiling an air filter toss it in a zip lock bag with some oil. close and squeeze. You can pre prep them and leave them in the bag for race day.

@@ChaosCauses here’s a couple more. For mud rides spray the underside of the fenders with wd40. Mud doesn’t stick as much and washes off easier. Bandaids on the nipples to prevent chafing. Sure you’ll have fun with that one. Use a torch to clean a fouled spark plug if you don’t have a new one. Love the channel BTW

​@@ChaosCauseshow you lube chain?? Only outside or inside chain?? Or both??????

Last one is really helpful

Can air compressing, is what I will definitely use. Thanks CC.

I use an old leather belt to remove oil filters. Simply tighten around the filter against the buckle and use the excess to loosen/tighten the filter.

If you keep having screws fall off of a screwdriver, wrap the tip of the driver in a couple layers of teflon tape. The screw will then stick to the bit and not fall off.

When it comes to cleaning my hands after working on my bike, I find that dish soap is the best option. It works really well in getting rid of any kind of grease, even if it gets on fabric.

That screwdriver trick was genius I also have a hack for when cans run out of air I use a empty can with air and another with little/no air just liquid ,connect them with a straw and squeeze both simultaneously The pressure will be balanced, Sometimes turning them upside down helps to prevent liquids from changing cans

That nut on a screw driver and the oil filter are pretty awesome!

As a new rider this video was a life saver

Love your vids..really well produced n filmed.

Thank you sir, love the oil filter ring clamp trick, I have been making a mess with screw drivers and chisels for years 👍

Love this channel. There’s some good knowledge in this video.

That Ziploc cable luber is AMAZING! so many cables with weird ended these days, the cable luber tools tend to not seal.

By far the hose clamp on the oil filter my favorite. I've only had to use the poke the driver through the filter once before but now wish I would have known the the hose clamp hack. Thanks bud.

Zip lock bag is my fav

The absolute smoothest transition into an ad! What a guy 😮‍💨 There isn’t a better bike KZreadr imo

1 million thumbs up for the nut on the screwdriver - that's a fantastic tip.

A utility knife works the best for cutting cable ties. You cut them off 100% flush with no tail at all. While i like the hose clamp trick for the oil filter, I stopped using adjustable oil filter wrenches a long time ago. I spent $15 on an oil filter cup wrench (basically a giant socket for the nut part at the top of the filter) that fits the oil filter i use and never have an issue with them again. As for hand cleaner, rubbing your hands with baby oil and then washing with soap works on the same principle.

the cable hack is a life changer

Loved the cable lube hack!

Nice to see my tip/hack added in a video. Although i have to give credits where credit is due, to my fav motorcycle stunter Brian636 for the tip.

Been using compressed air for brake cleaner for a long time, saves me maybe 10 cents but I paid for it so I’m using it

Great video mate!,,,,,,, thanks from Australia

All good tips! The recharging the aerosol can was my favourite 👍

When I got my first bike in August (Summer) 2008 I was spending every dollar I had on gear but still had no winter gloves when I needed to ride coast to coast that December (Winter) to move from Georgia to California. At first I had to keep pulling over and warming my hands on the exhaust but after a pit stop at Walmart I ended up with silk gloves under latex inside my ventilated and armored riding gloves. The latex made a rain/airflow barrier while the silk made a layer of trapped air for insulation. I was still freezing but it worked great… for my hands. A week later my face, shoulders, chest, etc were peeling and flaking since they were apparently getting chapped in the cold, dry, winter air. I hadn’t noticed the chapping until days later. Before then I only thought chapping was a concern for lips or mucous membranes!

A cheap trick to get warm is to put on a rain coat under your jacket. You know, the one made from cellofane, costs about 1-2$. I once had to stuff plastic bags under my jacket, just to survive a ride home, lol. Stops the wind perfectly. Also public restrooms hand dryer air blowers warm you pretty nicely, if availible.

@@veegoesvroom6685 LOL! That works, but I started with a Tourmaster Flex mesh jacket that included removable rain and thermal liners. It’s my hands in vented gloves that were freezing before the latex glove trick. You’d better believe I made the most of any rest stop though! ;)

Very good-nice ideas. Keep em coming. I am obsessed as you are about motorcycles-I may move to a warmer area just to ride each day.

Funny, just got back from a ride to get a oil filter wrench like that for my 300 c class stuck filter.

thankyou mate

Cable Lubrication. Gooddd

I like the cable lube trick best. It's how we used to do it once upon a time, before I'd ever heard of or seen a cable lube tool (which by the way are a pain in the ass, leaking more lube than gets down the cable). My first bike recommended the bag and rubber band with engine oil to lube the cables.

Oil filters with a nut welded on top is the same price so even though I have a filter removal tool I still get the nut version. I used the ziplock bag trick to lube my cables but use motoroil and leave them over night, worked fine even on old stuck cables.

I really liked the nut hack and the hose clamp hack, but all your hacks are quite useful. Thanks for sharing

that with oil filter was awesome ! i didint know that!!! i defenetly will use it!

Oil filter hack - just get a piece of an old sand paper, wrap it around the filter and unscrew with your hand (if properly done, it should be low torqued) the paper/fabric will provide grip for your palm and off it goes

I personally prefer dish soap to clean my hand after working on my bike. Very effective to remove any type of grease, even on cloth.

My favorite hack is the one using nail clippers to trim the zip ties. I also do electrical work, using zip ties, so this is an excellent hack for me!

Good stuff 👍

usefull ideas, thaks a lot

All your hacks are very useful !

Oil filter tool was top🎉

I use Ballistol instead of WD40 to clean my hands - and a lot more. Ballistol is skin friendly, non toxic (may be used in the kitchen), and also maintains your leather items. The most versatile stuff I know.

Thank you

Great video thank you. I like that zip lock lube idea! I too have a set of nail cutters in my tool box, a cigarette lighter too, it’s handy for melting the sharp ends of the zip tie, it makes them super smooth. PS thanks for sharing your tips.

Nuts and screwdriver !!! Will remember this one For cleaning your dirty hand, without those harsh chemicals, I use margarine, kneed it good, a bit of rubbing and when all the dirt on my hand has dislodged, I do a final wash with regular hand soap …

On the screwdriver/nut tip. I get the correct socket for the nut and rip a bit of tissue off a roll,lye it flat ontop of the socket as you push the nut into the socket. The tissue holds nut in place.Add an extension bar and once nut bolted up tissue will either fall out or just pick it out the socket..😊

1:55 woww gonna try this

In India🇮🇳 motogp is free on jio cinema

You forgot the Blu-Tack to hold the screw onto the screwdriver. 😎

Brilliant.

A small neodimium magnet super-glued into the end of your socket (should it not be magnetic) renders the screwdriver trick pointless. The nut is held in the tool until it meets the bold shaft, and is readily removed when threaded successfully. Also, for the love of Dog, get a tub of Swarfega. WD40 is a water displacer, and a great base for grinding paste, but it's definitely not a lubricant or a hand wash!

The gloves hack is also good for removing grease from your hands in sweat inducing situations

Neat trick with the screwdriver, or you can put grease into the socket then put nut into socket ,put nut on bolt job done !

Nice list.

the gloves, I will certainly try.

Hose clamp oil filter removal tool .. I use it to secure the lock wire ..

As a RS125 owner, there should be threads in those swingarm holes😂

If you ride mainly on asphalt you can also use lithium grease to lube the chain, it wont last as long but it's much much cheaper and easy to come by, just be aware if you ride on a dirt road or something like that it will get nasty pretty fast

Instead of nail clippers i use flush cutters. They cut zip ties, as name suggests, flush. And you can also use rubber band to get stripped screws out, if they are't super torqued.

The cable lube👍

wd40 great removing sticker residue will not harm any painted surface. one hack on bikes I never see fairing screws can crack plastic when torqued down as it grabs plastic dab of oil on fairing where screw touches fating allows it to slip and not grip twist and crack. Like the nil clipper and when making a zipper pull to keep zip tie from getting tightened as you pull on it on back side from where you clip excess leave a bit and use lighter to melt the tip so it will not close tie tighter and it also makes it smooth. On fairing screws replace philips with allen screws they strip less, on older bikes I took out and found a screw and bolt supplier that could rep[lace them all with allen heads but you have to remove to get size and thread pitch and length but worth it to being able to remove many times hassle free especially on ones that have to come out for service stuff. I made a stand custom for my bikes a bit of metal some measurements and a few bucks to metal shop to cut and weld pretty cheap custom stand and trip to rubber supply house got me a sccap piece of thick rubber to put where it his swing arm and forks for no slip and protection from gouges. made front and rear stands pretty cheap. Square tubing some basic cuts and weld and VIOLA

Just some respect for chaos to scratch himself for demonstration purposes 💪

#1 zip tie cuts: use a pliers to pinch the sharp end of the zip tie, it wont cut anything else.

My favourite Saffa tooba. I'm new to the biking world and super stoked I stumbled apon CC, would love to ride with this China one day.

for the cans without air i jus smash them, it reduces volume on the inside so it has preasure again

Awesome🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

the oil filter looks nice... I will try next time...

Great tips 👍😝 Cheers from steve in Bundaberg Australia 🇭🇲🍹🕺
