america is going through hard times right now.
@TheSnowWolf1000 You are quite correct, good sir .
Really fun video! Great sound effects! Love the ultrasonic cleaner, jealous!
@bobpickell4433 Thanks Bob it's great that you noticed the extra sound effects. Yes the ultra sonic cleaners are certainly a nice tool to have around for jobs like this. I appreciate you watching and for taking the time to comment. Cheers 🍻
A great message!
Bloody excellent mate. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@chrro466 Well, thank you very much, what a great comment to see on a fine Sunday evening. Cheers mate 🍻
@@TRyanLearnBikes no thank you, just about to service my DRZ and this helped heaps. I’d buy you a beer or two if you were in NZ. 🤙🏼🤙🏼
@@chrro466 Ahh ..thats great thanks I appreciate the thought .Very cool to hear from a fellow rider in New Zealand .
Hi I am riding Honda Hornet CBF 600 year 2001 and I did fix carburators and my fuel tank. Nevertheless, when I am riding after 50-100km (somethimes much earlier) my bike just shuths down, firstly it loses its power. Could it be failuer of fuel valve, bike does not receive fuel?
@aleksandarnedeljkovic3659 Hmmm ..ok thats an interesting problem for sure .How do you get the bike started again .Do you have to wait a specific amount of time or does it start right back up ?
@@TRyanLearnBikes Hi, thank you for answering , I started to lose hope. It will not start immediately I do not know how much time it needs exactly but last time I let it through night. In the morning it starts normaly and i ride it for couple kilometers. Bike has power everything acts normaly and the same thing happened lose power and stops. After 10-15 minutes I started it again and ride back home (couple kilometers back). Could this valve stops flue flow ?
@@TRyanLearnBikes Hi , thank you for answering , I started to lose hope :) I started it normaly on ignition button but it wont start immediately, I have tried. I do not know how much time it needs exactly.Last time I let it through night. In the morning I started it normaly on ignition button, runs great for couple kilometers has power, great on gas and then it happens again , lose power and stops .In order to come back home I let it for 10-15 minutes then started on ignition button and I ride it normaly back home (couple kilometers back). In front of my house it stops again, same thing. Could it be flue valve ?
@aleksandarnedeljkovic3659 OK...I don't think it's a fuel tap issue , but you may be able to prove it by running the bike on the prime setting. That should take the vacuum requirement out of the picture . If the bike still shuts down using the prime setting you can assume the fuel tap is not the problem. When you get a chance let me know if that works .Then we can look deeper .
Well I do not have prime option. My valve has on, off and res(reserve) options.
I replaced the petcock on my XV250 with a manual one. Rebuild kits here in Brazil are crap
@antoniomodesto1157 Thats a good idea .I prefer the simplicity of a manual fuel tap too.
since this is a tire changing video, the very first thing you did was the very last thing anyone would do. you tighten the valve stem nut against the rim and then procede to demonstrate its tightness by using a wrench to loosen it. that'd be good if you run 30+ or 40+ psi in the tire. at regular pressure even if the rim lock was perfect or brand new, you run the risk of teaching new riders how to get flats. by operator error. tightening the valve stem doesn't aid in keeping the rim from spinning, ending your ride. which could shorten it, if you had a slow leak and you were 5 miles from camp you might make it there by riding easy on the front brakes, it'll turn a little before it rips the stem out. with it nutted, it turns any at all and the stem is gonna be all that's left staying perfectly in the stem hole, nut still snugged tight and, well even if you have a slow leak, gonna have to change tube anyways. i don't know, never seen that before though. you could edit it out, so nobody thinks that's just the way it's done. i'm getting really old, and even trying to change rear tires i'm always struggling, tubes are made like junk but riding an xr650r wears tires out in 3 or 4 months. lots of changes, and they claim to be 6pr tires, 3 on the sidewalls and 3 on the tread. that's not 6pr is it. i've changed 6pr trellborg in the 70s with stud inserts for rim locks, those were good 6ply tires.
Ok .well firstly the rim came to me that way so the valve stem nut was tight to the rim when I got it . If you watched the entire video you would have seen thats not what I recommended to do . To edit that section out as you suggest is not going to happen . It sounds like you have a vast amount of experience with the subject and are eager to share your insight as your comment is one of the longest ones I've ever recieved . I suggest you take the time to create a video showing all of the correct techniques . Its great to learn from the pro's. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with .
I actually like the format and editing....
Thanks very much .Cheers
when you fit the tube inside the tire, isn't hard to get the valve through the rim hole?
@csiautodetail Oh yes it certainly isn't very easy to do on some tires because they can be quite stiff and can make it a challenge to fit the valve stem through the rim..
You make look so easy, I had a battle with a tire, and the tire won. I own one of these tire changers, and they work great with street tires but not so goof with dirt bikes tire. In the end, I embarrassed took the tire to a place to be mounted. I will be selling the no mar and get a rabaconda.
The Rabaconda tool works very well too. The No Mar tire changer is also a fantastic tool for both street and dirt bike tires . I'm curious if you used the spool type blocks to hold down the rim as they are what you need for dirt bike tires . But we all have our own personal preferences when it comes to favorite tools and techniques so good luck ahead with you Rabaconda purchase I don't think you'll be dissapointed .Thanks for taking the time to comment .Cheers
If I want to do this with my fork I have to take seals for my fork or are the universal the seals. 'Cause mine drips from the Simmerring and at the very bottom of the fork. Sorry for my bad english
@boah_aua Your English is good, don't worry. Forks seals need to be an exact fit .So get the ones meant for the make the model and the year of your bike . If it's leaking from the bottom of the fork you may need to replace the sealing washer on the bottom bolt .But first check that it's tight .Because it might be leaking just because it's loose .
@@TRyanLearnBikesThanks for the quick reply. Thank you also for telling me what I can do to solve the problem. I'll try it right away. It is so that the original fork is no longer on it and also no logo or brand is described what it is
@@boah_aua Well if you dont have the original forks and dont know what brand they are then , If you can measure the diameter of the fork slider accuratly .You should be able to source a pair of seals that will work ok . You could try Athena brand fork seals .They are not expensive and seem to be good quality .Hope that helps . good luck
Great content, thanks,gonna have a go myself now 👍
@@unruly7 Thank you very much, I appreciate your kind comment. Good luck ahead with your tire repair. I'm sure you'll you'll have excellent results. Cheers 🍻

thanks for the video, I was having a crisis on my supermoto
@EMTY700 My pleasure you're very welcome. Hopefully, we have your crisis averted now.and you can get out there and rip that sumo like it's meant to be..Cheers 🍺
hey sir i have a question, just got my first bike, its in a very good condition for a pre-owned bike, but the chain is my current issue, well, one of the 2. it has spots of rust, should i worry ? they're about few milimeters in diameter for the worst ones, and there arent many but they're there...what should i do? besides getting a brand new chain.... and 2nd, when i use the front brake gently, it feels like the rotors are not straight, its scrap silence scrap silence scrap silence, i dont want to go to the worst problem first, so, are my brake pistons dirty and i need to clean them? thank you in advance for the answer. <3 (P.S. Great video, im glad i found you)
6:34 That's called shuriken actually.
@dannyxnda Thats called pedantic actually. But thanks for the education anyway .
G'day from WA. What a brilliant idea! Sorry, pun intended. The multiple sunsets was fascinating! What an amazing experience. I missed a chance to see a total eclipse in Exmouth, North of WA, but I hope to be in the Pilbara for our next in July 2028 it's too good a chance to check my headlight setting to miss!
@stevezodiac575 @stevezodiac575 Hey Steve, ha ha ..well crafted very enlightening..pun also intended. Yes the total eclipse was definitely an interesting experience for sure. I had to look up where Exmouth WA was .Did I get it right ? Are you on the west side of Australia ? I hope you have a clear day when the eclipse makes it over to you .And most certainly aim your headlight if you get a chance it's such a unique opportunity .Thanks for watching and for taking the time to leave such a great comment.

Great video. At 100km/h or 60m/h how long does any lubrication added onto the chain, remain in place?
@jodybotha Thank you very much .That's a great question you ask .There's lots of great chain lubes ot there that actually stay on your chain fairly well at speed .The thicker spray on waxy type seem to be the best for longevity but may not actually be the best for lubrication. The greater the speed the greater the flinging force that rids your chain of any thing on it ..My strategy is to keep the chain super clean and covered in a very thin film of oil that won't fling off at speed because it's minimal . It's a maintenance heavy strategy but worth the effort in my opinion. Hope this helps . Cheers 🍻
@@TRyanLearnBikes Thanks... A thin layer of oil won't burn off in a few miles? Really? I ride offroad. 30km slow speeds, chainsaw oil which is good stuff. Dry as a bone end of the ride...
@jodybotha Chain saw oil sounds like a good product to use but if you've proven its not very effective then it likely isn't the way to go. Off road riding demands are certainly quite different than typical road riding conditions. Most race guys pressure wash their bikes after each moto and re-apply chain lube right away. Longevity isn't usually a consideration. The same high maintenance procedure applies .Keep the chain super clean and continually lubed as best as you can.
Great video, pace, style, editing, values... Only need viewers to enjoy it now

How much did you charge for the rebuild
@cassidylockard1527 Hi Cassidy. This was a rebuild for my own forks .The only cost was for the seal kit and the fork seal driver .I don't typically work on other people's machines.
I have one of the no mar tire changer, I generally use it for street motorcycles, now I need to use it with a dual sport bike that has spokes, Why you don't use the mount bar to get the tire install?
@csiautodetail Yes they are a fantastic set up .I didn't use the mount bar because that tire in the video is not very wide and the spools on the mount bar take up a lot of room so I have found it much easier to just lever the tire into place especially as the rim is held so tightly in place .It's just my preference.
Brilliant lol subscribed 🙂

Hey Cody thanks man thats some great company to be associated with . You made my day with that one .Cheers buddy 🍺
Only one thing that was not shown was to give it a balance.
Well yes thats true but dirt bike tires are typically not balanced . Due to riding on rough terrain at relativley lower speeds any imbalance is not an issue .Also if racing they change tires so often the extra step is not worth the time .I'm curious ,are you a dirt bike rider and if so do you balance your wheels ?

@@TRyanLearnBikes G'day again, just to add, it also struck a chord with me too - I'm an older dad and have for many years been trying to teach my now almost 17 year old son about practical skills such as these.

Awesome video and info. I was just adjusting my chain on my brand new, week old bike and I noticed kinks on my O-RING chain. Plus it felt so tight and rigid. Don't know if it'll loosen up over time or that's how these chains are. I've always had chains without o-rings on all my other bikes. Please tell me if it's ok, it's a Honda cb300r chain
@srinathtg4623 Hey , thanks very much I appreciate your kind comment. Well now , you mentioned a couple of things you may want to consider looking at. Firstly you describe the chain as tight and rigid ,sounds to me like it's set much to tight .So address that issue .Your manual will give you the correct spec .Usually measured mid span ,to flex about 3/4 of an inch or so . If you have kinks in the chain that are abnormally stiff compared to all the other links in the chain ,thats not a good thing .A brand new O ring chain does have a little resistance between the links and can feel very slightly resistive but certainly not notchy or locked up in any way . I have seen poorly installed master links riveted incorrectly that are squeezed too much and show up as a kink .So check it with a caliper and see if it's the same width as the other links on the chain. And yes, over time , O ring chains will definitely loosen up and feel very similar to non O ring chains . The main thing is to keep your chain clean and lubricated with the right tension and it'll serve you well for a long time.I hope that helps .If you have any other questions let me know and I'll try to help you out .Good luck ahead and if you get a chance let me know if you were able to correct your chain issues . Cheers 🍻
@@TRyanLearnBikes Thanks for you prompt reply. The thing is, the day after delivery I felt too much chain lash as I decelerated, so I asked the dealership to tighten it, but they over tightened a bit. The lash was gone but the bike felt a little stained. After 4 days but just a 100km later as it was raining, I found rust marks on the chain. That was when I sat down to lube it and I realised how tight the chain was and also noticed the kinks on several links. They even returned after going thru the sprocket, strange. This job by the dealer was done on side stand. So I ordered a paddock stand online and used 90 gear oil to nicely lube the chain and loosened it generously. It felt smoother but there was way too much lash. I read the manual and the spec said 1 to 2.2 inches of slack but the swingarm used to come in the way to correctly measure it. Right now I've kept it at 2.5 inches slack but the kinks remain although a bit improved. I am a DIY guy and have maintained chains meticulously on my other non O-ring chains earlier, so this one is a little perplexing. It's a Honda, so assume the factory did send a decent chain with the bike and kinks are the result of over tightening by the dealer or I got a bad piece. Google and AI was smart enough to send me your video, thanks to technology and thanks to you I learnt a few things about chains. I'm from India, what about you?
@srinathtg4623 Heck ya man , ya gotta love how Google and AI can connect the dots . I like your idea of getting a paddock stand It'll make things so much easier for you . That spec of 1 to 2 inches of slack is quite a range ...but if that's what it calls for I guess thats what ya should do . It's a good thing you have lots of previous motorcycle experience so you were able to recognize a problem right away . Sounds like you are on the right track now .But definitely keep a close eye on that chain for a while. It's great to hear from people all over the world. India is one of those exotic places that seem like a really cool place to live. You're a lucky guy. I'm living in Canda right now .A fun place to live but can be fairly cold in the winter . Thanks again for your great comments and questions . Cheers to you my friend 🍻
Just make sure to scratch the rim as much as possible
Well thats something most people typically don't want to do, but ,hey man if thats your jam ,have at it . No judgement here .
