Ari is an exceptional presenter and just about the best I've seen in this sport. He is very well-spoken in terms of how he gets the words out and accross to the viewer. His presence is excellent. Very well done brother. Motorcyclist Magazine is fortunate to have him, although they should enjoy it while it lasts because I think he will soon be snapped up by a company willing to pay him more than MCM ever could. This guy is a huge talent regardless. Kudos...and best of luck.

it's doesn't matter how complicated or trivial your vid is, I always love it Ari. haha... I just love the way you guys make this mc garage video. even if it's just a simple information, I always enjoyed watching it. keep it up!

I've been meaning to get a chain alignment tool for 20 odd years now. If I can remember I'll order one with my next set of tires. (Been saying that for 20 years as well).

Great info. Love the videos, they are short, concise and easy to learn from. I've been riding over 40 years and still learning some cool new stuff about motorcycle care and maintenance. Thanks MC Garage, Great Job.

excellent as always. didn't know that tool, I'll buy it no doubt!! thank you for another great video

A great series of videos. I have been riding for many many years but these videos are still a excellent source of new information, tips and techniques.

Thanks Ari, love the vids you do. It's because of you that I mount and balance my own tires which has saved me hundreds in the last 2 years and the mere thought of it has amazed people and it boggles there mind that at 140 mph it's smooth as can be. Keep up the great work!

That's great to hear Frank. Cultivating self sufficiency and knowledge is what this show is all about, so getting feedback like that is really encouraging. Ride safe.

You've got great confidence. great presenter. watching all your videos is fun. one can never get bored of them and they are useful and to the point. thumbs up.

Elegant, succinct, no nonsense description, best I've seen on this

I was always a bit nervous of having a go at things re my bike but this guy gives me confidence! Thanks a lot.

Honestly, the best descriptive video I've ever watched on KZread. Well done! (Nikos. Greece)

Straight to the point. Best video on alignment I've seen tonight.

I think I watch these vids now more for how great the production is than the actual information lol. Good job Ari👍🏿

Nice info, thanks for the share. I have a feeling not many mechanics from where I'm from actually know this, or bother to check this every time the wheel is removed, either for tire change, or chain/sprocket change. From now on I'll be sure to have this checked!

Not only these videos are so good but sometimes they just crack me up like in this case: "It's also worth mentioning that if your bike has a single sided swing arm or drive shaft, you didn't need to watch this video" 😂😂😂 kudos to Ari

Neatly explained - as ever. Thank you. I get fed up people taking 20mins to explain a 1 minute topic!

Re tuning in, I think i'd still be watching your videos even if I got rid of my bike, I think this channel deserves at least as much support as that

Great tips and a very cool motionpro tool. I appreciate the call out to those of us with shaft drive. Deep down we miss chain adjustments and wheel alignment activities. ;-)

exactly what I needed.. perfect timing!!

Another quality video guys. Well done.

Thank you for this video. Always helpful.

Thanks a lot Ari. I really enjoy your work.

Thanks Ari Henning. Really Helpful Video! :) :D

Very clear and helpful tips as usual 👌

tumbs up man keep it up thanks for all knowledge you share with us. making referance to all your videos.

Lerning something new every day! Thank you!

This was really helpful. I had my tires replaced somewhere and adjusted the chain tension, but in turn it left my bike leaning to the left when I let off the throttle with hands off the clipons. Will definitely do a wheel alignment after this.

Thanks a lot Brother. The first method helped me to resolve the issue of handlebar vibe and restricted movement on my Interceptor 650.👍🤘✊🏼

Thanks bud the tape measure tip is excellent 💯

Man, I love this guy. Spot on, crisp, no bull shit, yet a short video... Ari, style.. Would love to know do injector cleaners and octane boosters as such, are they really what they claim to be. And also, a little technical video especially for the KTM 390 engine and parts, how well they're put together, how well they handle track abuse, just a separate video regarding the 390 as a whole would be super super useful. Keep revving mate!

Great tips. thanks MC Garage! Now this is a good piece of info!

4th way. measure the distance between the wheel's rim lip and the swingarm inside or outside . both sides. simple. regards. nicholas d. edit: love your videos. keep it up!!!

Pretty much every bike will have difference in the two sides

Neither of the 2 methods will work on either of my bikes (Roadliner and Roadmaster) and the 3rd is just unpractical. Having said that I am sure it helps on lot of people. Keep up the good work rsm8

Today I needed this video and I was like: "MC Garage is not going to do "Wheel Alignment" video soon, so I'm just gonna try by myself" Ha! I'm watching this video after a lot of back pain trying to do the 3rd one few hours ago, it took me 3h to give up because it wasn't changing the gap difference on the front wheel, it's really stressful, don't do it.

Alberto Harres Rocha I tried it once - never again! It obviously does work but it's so much hassle.

i do not have a bike😅 but i still wait for your uploads😉

LOL So now you tell me I don't need to watch this if I have a single swing arm or a shaft drive. Thanks for these informative videos; even though I can never get back those 3 minutes and 30 seconds of information that I didn't require ;)

thanks!! your videos really helps!!

Great commercial for Motion Pro tools. Wish I had this chain alignment tool 30 years ago!

Thank You very much. Every time i tightened the nut on my ninja 650 the axle block moved backwards and the lines didnt match. Using the measuring tape worked perfect. I got worried for a while, kept redoing it. Great video.

Great info thanks a lot, very useful.

These MC Garage videos are awesome! Aside from uneven tire wear, what else is a good indication of misaligned wheel? My bike had a tendency to lean left if I let go of the handlebar. The factory marks were the same on both sides but the distance b/w the swing arm pivot and rear axle was off by 1.2 cm. After correcting the bikes rides straight with no pressure on the handle bar. If you do try this, use a empty car park that you know has a straight surface to check. Also, this may not apply to every bike out there.

the LaserVAT is also a wonderful, easy and fast tool for alignment... i love it its my favourite and second fav is the motionpro tool you showed in the vid

Nice topic man! Love it

Great video, thank you!!

Браво винаги много добри съвети от това момче.

Just found this channel, good stuff.

Ta very much for these videos, very helpful and clear. I'm new to bikes, just got my first one and I rode it from, where I bought it, quite far so I had to adjust the chain, I gave it a go but there's no centre stand or paddock stand so had to just keep it as upright as best I could using wood under the side stand =P

Just changed front sprocket on new RE Int 650. I measured the the amount of adjustment screw sticking out was the same. Felt Ok, had to finish in the dark and couldn't see any markings on swing arm. Thanks for the tips, will double check in the morning.

Single side swing arm FTW (07 Speed Triple)...balancing the rear wheel, have to take it to the shop ;( lol Great video as always!

Great vid Ari.

really helpful, thanks a lot

Brilliant video the tape measure method has done it for me

I like this Channel ! Thanks Sir.

Great presentation

I got a shaft drive but I still enjoy these videos.

Great video it just seems so simple when you put it like that

Hi very useful info. Thanks a lot.

I love these guys

That's a cool tips!) Thanks!

thanks man i used the tape measure method. you probably just saved me closer to $200 i have a 2016 kawasaki vulcan s the cruiser version of the z650 you got in the video :D

Damn, I was struggling to line up my drive shaft with your methods... hehehe

Nice tips 👍🏻👍🏻

wow i didn't know that thing i always thought wheel alignment thing is only on four wheels ty u r great

I broke down and finally bought that Motion Pro tool. GOOD MOVE: I found that the marks were off-line by ONE FULL MARK. Because of this, I discovered that early Bandit 1200's came out of the factory with the sprockets 3mm out-of- plane.. I altered two rear wheel spacers 3mm and now my chains last twice as long.

Great vid, but my 4 bikes are all shaft drive! I suspect my next bike will have a chain, so this is very informative! Ride safe.

great video. i used that little tool it worked. very easy any one can use.

Can you please do a video about spark plugs? Thank you. Great work!

Bought it, love it.

Love your videos guys you planning on doing a review or comparison of that z650 ???

I have a single sided swing arm. Watching this video game me appreciation for what some of you have to deal with. 😂

Nice video Sir

Great "how to" thank you.

thanks for this

Thank you! I've been messing around with string since 1983 and it's never been reliable; my swing arm bolt is visible and there's nothing in the way - can't believe it never occurred to me to measure them!

What I'd like to know - what happens if your wheels are out of alignment? What problems can it cause? Thanks, great video!

My bikes have single sided swing arms, but I enjoyed the video!

Informative

been riding my qmb139 stunt scooter for 2 years now and im just starting to get some slop in my rear tire, changed motor mount bushigs, case bushings, got a new axle with thicker splines but still slop. this video is for sure gonna help me fix this, the darn left side of my tire is bald and the right side still has the little factory mold nipples on it. after 2 damn years and 5k miles

Woooh super cool

Me gusta !!! toda la informacion esta all 100%

thanks bro

Nice Kawi's ;)

I think it's possible that front wheel can be out of alignment. If you cop a whack on the front, the forks can develop a twist in the headset, or if the forks are re-assembled with some mis-alignment in the head

@ricktyler5430

7 жыл бұрын

This would happen all the time in motocross. If you crash, it would twist the forks in the triple tree, therefore putting the front wheel out of alignment

With the popularity of restoring old mikes today it is important to mention checking the swingarm bushing for wear. That can't be adjusted out and needs to be replaced if there is wear.

When you tighten the axle the wheel will go where it wants to go. If you are having to use the chain tension bolts to correct it you will be stressing other components like spacers and swing arm surface.
