No matter where Ari goes, he makes me feel like I don’t care for my chain enough.

I worked at Suzuki dealership and a guy got his girlfriend to buy him a brand new GSX-R 600. He did a diy license plate delete and relocated it in front of the rear tire. He should have checked to see what he was screwing into with his drywall screws. Right through the ECU and into the battery. One of my favorite things that happened working in that shop.

I've had a customer bring their motorcycle into the shop complaining that his bike just quit, turned out it was out of gas. Another customer was proud of himself that he spent all winter putting braided stainless on his entire wiring harness but did nothing about the tiny sharp stainless wires poking into the harness. His complaint was every time he honked the horn his bike quit (he's lucky that's all that happened)

You wouldn’t believe (or maybe you would) the amount of Harleys that got towed to my shop and the only thing wrong was a dead key fob battery.
I don't think Ari has ever had any formal mechanics training but damn he knows his stuff. Watched him for years both breaking down stuff for us simpletons and doing amazing improvised roadside repairs. Such a great contributor to the motorcycling community.

@@TwoWheeledBooBear Well, having theoretical knowledge is a lot more important than practical knowledge. Sure, you can fix stuff, but knowing the reason why it failed, knowing why you have to repair a certain way etc. is more important than practical knowledge. You can teach a child how to open up an engine, it doesn't mean that they can understand how to open it. Ofcourse, though, theoretical knowledge is no good on it's own. Some people just can use tools and that's fine. There should be a balance.
Ari's videos helped me *not* do shoddy work on my Yamaha. Props for great instructional content,

The R1 with the disintegrated air filter, that was a BMC brand filter. I see it often with that brand. The plastic they use around the outer frame of the filter does NOT hold up to heat long. This happens after the filter gets more than a couple years old. And Ari is 100% correct about checking the tank A, #1, first thing.

Yeah looks like this one busted the case too.
My mother has an old Kawasaki motorcycle that's been sitting derelict for well over 30 years at this point. When I was a kid she wanted to fix it and both me and my older sibling at various points in our lives thought of maybe trying to fix it with the intent of learning to ride. These videos have reminded me that that would be an undertaking requiring far more effort and expense than we could probably handle.

@decnet100

@@ZevVeli I think that's not at all uncommon with people riding motorbikes - as two-wheeled motion is a known favorite in ADHD circles. Why? Because riding them is involved and focussing - as in, you get loads of signals that get you back on track, focussed on the issue at hand; speaking for myself, if I make the daily trip to work any other way, I often spend my time either worrying about the work day, or contemplating some aspect of my private life that may very will interfere with work throughout the day. If I go on bike, I spend that time thinking about nothing else, except riding the bike. And honestly, fixing a motorcycle is great exercise for your skills. Don't trust yourself having torqued each bolt when installing something? Mark them with a pen right after you tightened them. Afraid of spraying all the little parts all over your garage? Get clear ziploc-freezer bags beforehand and mark them. Also, find the "parts explosion" drawings for your specific bike, which are undoubtedly available and will detail every little washer, nut and spring. Losing track of the overall goal, as in "getting the bike ready for mom's birthday"? Define and prioritize subgoals, such as "safety equipment (brakes, tires, suspension) > drivetrain (engine, chain) > electrics > body". And if you can't rely on anyone else in your family to do parts of the work, a motorbike restauration (as long as you're not talking concourse level) is very much a doable project for one guy, if you put in regular hours, and do the effort beforehand to set you up for an organized project!
I really like hearing Ari talk about bikes, lots of knowledge and no bs!
I work in gas fired heating industry and ceramic failures on the electrodes like that spark plug are rare but do happen. Pretty harmless and funny problem 😂😂😂

Fr. My thoughts exactly
Zach and Ari are both great guests. More of them, please
8:30 you arent wrong about maintenance! Not quite the same thing but the surface grinder at my old work my boss had been filling with 5w30, instead of proper machine oil. When the chain-traverse finally gave up the ghost the sprocket was essentially the shape of a blunt circular saw Edit: per your point around 15:30 - you are indeed unfortunately correct, this was how I lost my best friend in 2019. Chain snapped and bunch of knock-on effects took him off. RIP Matt ❤ never forgotten brother
Two of my favorite KZreadrs in the same video! I thought it would never happen! Fire it up!
Sees a new real mechanic stuff video: clicks Sees Ari: **CLICKS FASTER**

Do more of this content as a motorcyclist this is great stuff !
I LOVE ARI! Thanks for bringing him on the show, do it again please!
I see Ari, I click.
As a paramedic, I dread calls where a motorcycle is involved in a crash. On the way, while arranging everything for a major trauma in the ambulance, I just keep saying to myself "please don't be a corpse".
I've been watching donut enthusiastically without even expecting motorcycle video. me being an avid motorcyclist, i love Revzilla and fortnine and other such god moto-tubers, seeing motorcycle stuff frequently on here is so nice. love you guys. :)❤️
Love seeing Ari and Zach on here. Perfect fit for this
I skip the in video adds for most channels I watch, but yours are always so entertaining I actually watch them.
Ari and Zack on donut is a dream come true
Ari and Zack are awesome hosts and you should do some more colab stuff with Revzilla!!
I am so here for Donut to be doing even more motorcycle content. Having really good enthusiasts on this channel makes me love it all the more 🤟🤟🏍️🏍️
Working at a motorcycle shop for less then a year and I already seen the craziest and most outrageous bikes and dangerous

Hi Ari, It is cool that you have come to this show, since i have lost track of where you guys were now. Looking forward to see your shows.
You guys actually got Ari! That's awesome!
haha love this jerry - Ari combo. Would love to see it again!
2 moto videos in a few weeks! What? Is it finally happening?😂😂 so awesome that you all had first Zach and now ari on here. I also think that it was a very good choice to have Jeremiah on as you can tell his passion and knowledge of them. Nothing against jobe at all as he does good videos, just you can tell Jeremiah is a bike guy with passion for them. He’s only been talking about making bike videos for like years now
I've learned a lot from Ari's videos on motorcycle maintenance. His videos are great.
Awesome, one of the best collaborations so far!
"Check the simple things" While in school, Gave a Lava lamp to engineering class. The Lamp would light but the lava would not heat. They spent 2 weeks, took the think apart and back together and couldn't figure it out. My little sister looked it over. LEB Blob won't heat the lava. They were all embarrassed. The professor loved it.
That second one is absolutely criminal. If someone let's you borrow their bike, you don't fuck with it
I used to build drag carts, and against the advice of everyone, dude in the shop decided he needed to take his engine for a run **now**. Skipped installing a chain guard, put in a used master link, on a cart running about 12hp engine with a triple disk bully. That link snapped and slapped that chain into his arm almost to the bone. Wrapped around his bicep like a whip. Chains. Are. Dangerous.
Ari is a legend. Love that guy!
Ari is funny af 😂 bring him back!
I've seen the ratcheting bolt head happen on a Harley Road Glide. Totally freak happenstance. Luckily, we were just riding locally so we could just send someone to get their trailer and we had his bike back to his place in a couple hours.

Speaking the truth lol
14:00 Hey, sometimes you just have to ride to the parts shop with a sponge as an airfilter, because the old one got ripped to shreds by a backfire. And then they don't have stock airfilters for your bike, because you ride a 24 year old import. So you try to cut a filter from bulk filter material, and it rides like shit, so you switch back to sponge and ride home and wait for the stock filter you ordered a week ago.
My buddies first motorcycle was a "steampunk" junkyard bike with a skateboard for a pully and a bunch of trash as components, i was honestly surprised it ran at all let alone as smoth as it did
I was asked by a customer who had a deep cut on his tyre "is it better to glue it with rubber glue because super glue won't flex as much and may crack" Least he put some thought into problem.
Love these Mechanics Reacts videos. So good!
6:40 a bolt through the swing arm ain't that bad. I didn't know a rear axle nut come loose on my KX 125. About an hour later I noticed my rear wheel was kinda crooked. The brake rotor bolts cut 1/3 the way through my swing arm. I tightened everything up and went right back to riding. Over 5yrs of riding, jumping and crashing and never had a problem with that swing arm. I did end up totaling the bike but that was from a tree, actually the rear swing arm was the only thing that didn't break/bend.

8:02 on the front Sprocket ware one, I have seen that happen to a buddy on the first outing after replacing his sprocket because his chain was too loose and and after a 6 hour day at the moto park it was thrashed again, so in addition to long time negligence, immediate derping and doing the dumb with improper tension will also cause this

11:21 I have had that happen...though not with a bike. Plug went bad in my car's engine ('96 Neon, at the time) and came apart that same way--porcelain came free of the metal. You would not _believe_ the racket that thing made. Total loss of compression in that cylinder, too.
Love this collaboration!
