For sure! Really appreciate everything you do for our sport! God bless buddy.

at 21:32 into the video you called the wrench a "crowsfoot", those are flare nut (or tubing) wrenches typically used on brake lines or when doing propane fittings. Crowsfoot connect to a ratchet or an extension

Great video as always!!...very detailed and super informative!! Top notch channel...been watching for years and will till the end 😎👍

Tool envy is real, and I’ve got it.😍 Great video! Very informative!

Lots of great information, Jay. I too love to work on bikes and not just ride them. It's a dual passion that we have, ride and tinker. Thanks for the tips, love your vids. Please keep the great videos coming.

Great info! Thanks Jay!

That sprocket tool is amazing! A must for any bike with a nut or bolt holding on the front sprocket. Keep up the great work!

I use the free OEM KTM tool bag to 90% + of bike work! Figured if I ever have to fix things out riding… it feels just like working on it at home 😂

Looking forward to the fancy one that will come with my new STARK 🤣

Been trying to find the 4” asv Y handle tools for so long!! Even thought about getting a friend to try weld one up for ourselves

Fantastic! Young people build up your tools and skills and keep learning bike safety, it's all a journey!

Great Video! I spent 30 years as a Sawmill Millwright and spent the last 30 minutes nodding and cheering you on. Great tips!! and i've been around so to speak!

Great video Jay thanks. You can never have too much tools

Great video thanks for the content!!

Excellent advice !!!! 💯

I have an electric 1/2" impact wrench. It has done everything I have asked to do.

I gotta say Jay I love your videos and how you teach people! Tons of insight for everyone no matter how many years they've ridden or wrenched on bikes.

Great video, i get ocd about having all the sizes, when i first started buying tools i even bought standard sizes, which i almost never use, aside from 3/4

When I got my first motorcycle (1973 Yamaha CT3) I bought a Craftsman set of metric wrenches and sockets. I think there might have been 21 pieces in the set. When I got home my dad ripped me a new one for wasting my money on metric tools. It’s been 50 years now and I still use the wrenches but bought a set of the sockets with large numbers since I struggled to see the sizes on the old ones. RIP pops!

That’s why we are switching to Tekton tools. NO skip sizes and good luck breaking one.

Ryobi has an impact driver that has a quick release bit that looks like it will fit what you show during your power tools segment and then you can consolidate your batteries.

Thanks for the advice God bless

For the zip ties you can just twist them off with linesmans, but glad your not leaving sharp ends 👍

8:17 We call those “Alternative Lifestyle” cutters now lol!

Steel hammers always worked best for me 😊

Feeler guages and vernier calipers are great to have and don't need to be expensive.

Thank you!

Great video thanks

At least 3/4’s of the tools needed to turn a brand new bike into a pile of parts. IMO the service manual is the most valuable tool you can buy.

KTM cap on the air fork shrader valve is 9 mm. Some of the air tools can now be bought in battery powered versions.

I don't use T-handles anymore. I only us 1/4" drive sockets now.

Awesome video

One thing I would add, get 6 point not 12 point tools. 12 point are more prone to rounding off bolts and have less surface area to grab that stubborn bolt.

Great video! I have some work (expenses 😅) to do. Do you have a link for the tire stand drawing?

4:30 a 9mm wrench is necessary for some 4 stroke bike valve adjustments

Nail clippers work on zip ties also for flush cuts

9mm for the valve cap on the wp air forks

My parents were the best "dirt bike parents". No, they did not buy my bikes. No, they did not drive me to the races. No, they did not expend any energy for my riding/racing. What they did was let me work on my bike in the basement every winter, and that interested me in manufacturing and engineering. No, I did not retire from pro MX and become a Fireman because I had the marketable skills of a HS drop out. :)

I have a 2005 CRF 450 R and I am thinking about installing the in it since I’m getting older. Do you recommend a place to take it to? Recluse clutch.

Pretty comprehensive tutorial.👍🏼 However, your explanations are fine for "seasoned" mechanics but far too abbreviated for, say, newbies. Yeah, I know, just sayin'.👊🏼🏁

Milwaukee has a driver almost identical to the Porter-Cable you have

Hey wat brand are the aluminum packs on the bench vise

18mm for KTM duke drainplugs, a size often skipped in sets.....

If your mechanic freind has a worn out pair of vise grips, he is not the one.

It's hilarious when he got to the multimeter. He said, "You can get an inexpensive one or one like this high dollar one." That meter is a POS. If you don't have a fluke 85 or 87 you have a piece of crap. Typical mechanic that knows nothing about electricity. Stick to your hammers when giving advice.
