Mechanical Monsters - 5 Maintenance Jobs that are Deadly to Overlook

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Legend tells of a two-wheeled monster that burns gas, goes fast, and preys on the weak and the uninformed. It lures its prey with promises of good times, thrills and excitement but rips their head off if it as much as smells complacence. We set off on a spooky quest in search of these mechanical monsters…

    You know what..I don't know if you write the scripts for your videos yourself or if someone else writes them for you. if you do it yourself, I suggest you think about it and start making movies..you're doing great !! And thanks for all the great tips. v For over 40 years I have been riding different motorcycles I have seen a lot of what you point out and expose. To my best friend, with whom I have been driving together for more than 30 years, I would soon be hit from behind because my ABS blocked my first brake (Bmw k100 RS, the first generation of the BMW ABS system.). It was right in front of the intersection and I had my legs down so I couldn’t brake on the rear brake in time. I drove past him on the left (we live in Europe) and missed the oncoming Volvo by a few inches. Both motorcycles are Oldtimers. It would be awful if I failed in to the motorcycle in front of me, and even more awful if I fell under a Volvo...

Ryan did a great video on per-ride checks that should cover 90% of all of this, in about 5 minutes. Other then setting the sag, and doing a bearing check, everything else is really quick to check.

    I know I'm late, but I've had wheel bearings fail catastrophically on two occasions with in a year on my TTR 230. That required a rear wheel hub replacement on both occasions, $200 per hub. I'm not entirely certain about what caused it, but I suspect loose spokes. If you have spokes on your bike, give them a flick every now and then, listen for a dull sound.

    I like that you took the time to show people how easy it is to address most of these issues. I think many of the intervals are a bit short for most riders actual use, but the point stands, that - if it's been 5 years since you've really looked at any of these things - you very due and tempting fate to ignore at least checking them. I have a friend who ignored my warning about his chain. A few weeks later it didn't snap, but it suddenly came loose enough that it popped off, jamming his wheel to the swingarm. He luckily wasn't seriously hurt. But he didn't save any money, because he still had to buy new sprockets and a chain, but now he had to add to that straightening or finding another swingarm, more time to check if the bike was safe to ride, and a replacement helmet that wasn't as nice as his prior one.

    Great video Ryan! I had a wheel bearing failure once too on the rear, I was lucky that it didn't lock up. It just felt like you were poking briskly on the brake. When I pulled over to try and figure out what the hell was going on, I found the rear axle slid right ahead with bent adjuster bolts. I was 40 miles from home and a buddy came out with a trailer and hauled me home. Now this was a new used bike to me, and upon tearing it all apart to fix it that whoever had that wheel off last failed to put the spacer in between the bearings. My 99 Heritage still has tapered bearings so imagine the overload on them from having the axle torqued. After replacing the axle, adjuster bolts, spacer and bearings and seals and setting the bearings right she's been mint. Oh, had a headlight failure too once. Overloaded breaker tripped and everything went black, one the gravel road. That was interesting.

    Working as a repair tech in a machine shop I saw bearings from Thailand fail at an alarming rate. About 3% fail immediately and another 5% before I'm done testing my repairs. I'm sure bearings purchased through a motorcycle parts distributor will be held to a higher standard, but with most affordable bikes from Japanese brands being made in Thailand it is cause for concern. If you're changing your wheel bearings, buy extras, test for a couple miles, then check it again. If it lasts that long it's good. For what it's worth, bearings from China were slightly better. I don't have enough experience with bearings from Germany, Vietnam, Japan, or Indonesia to judge them. I never had any problems with bearings from Singapore or America.

    Quick note on side stands. They can kill. I was once riding a rented Harley, pulling out of a parking lot when a guy pulled up next to me and kept pointing at my bike. Good thing I paid attention to him, he probably saved my life. The bike had gone into gear with the side stand down and I had managed to pull away without noticing. Next left turn would have gone badly...

    Great video as usual! I've had several of these things happen to me. The scariest was a chain braking at 100kms/h (62mph) with my girlfriend in the back. We were lucky, but it broke a few things on the bike. Also had a chain jumping off mid corner and froze the wheel. Lucky i was only in first gear. A bit of a slide, but nothing else. On another bike i had a wheel bearing that completely destroyed itself. Again no fall, but had to call a tow truck. Brakes failed because of a bad bleed nipple... doing 20.. Ok again. Throttle actuated as i pulled the clutch.. I could go on.. Guess i'm just lucky

If left sitting, the rollers in chains and ball bearings will form corrosion on them. I take it you have never spent time rebuilding many old neglected motorcycles before. I started at 10 years old going to the local junkyards and getting dirt bikes and other things like lawn mowers, that were trashed and making good ones from a few bad ones. I can tell you when something sits for a while with out moving, you certainly see rust and corrosion form on things. SO while you may never have seen it, and you may never even noticed it, I can assure you a motorcycle chain left out in the open will certainly rust solid, if you don't rotate it once in a while.
