cool looks nice

Black Hammeright is the same but it is already in a different colour paint, ceramic brake pads reduce the dust to

Before you spend any more money on this bike rotate the counter shaft sprocket by hand and see if this thing will shift through the gears. Also the part that broke off is what disengages the clutch. If the transmission isn't broken and you get this to run you had better have a plan as what to do when it breaks off again and you're going down the road in 6th gear.

Hi Kiara, I happen to be a licensed german car mechanic and have been working as a motorcycle mechanic for some years. If you were to bring this bike to me right now, with the premise that you have to have this fixed without actually replacing the crankcase, I would attempt the following. First off, I cannot believe how unlucky I think you are. Breaking your chain, although it can happen, is extremely rare, and especially not on a bike that looked like yours. It looked like they took care of it, but then again, chain maintenance is something a lot of people neglect. You are one unlucky bird I have to say, but then again, you are lucky that the chain didn't lock your rear and made you crash. Keep in mind, once you are back up and running again, if you take good care of your chain, a good quality chain will last you thousands of miles with no worries whatsoever. Ok, here we go... 1. Threading a hole into the case under the broken stud piece. I would try to determine how much "meat" is still left in the crank/clutch case under the surface of the broken stud to possibly still drill and thread more thread into the case in order to get a longer bolt through the broken stud to hold the clutch actuator assembly in place. I am almost certain though, actually seeing it myself, that I would probably not attempt it just yet, as the risk of protruding into the case is high. This could be attempted as a last ditch effort with the clear acknowledgment that this might be the last task before having to replace the case anyway. 2. Riding it with only two screws attached. (Most likely what will happen anyway) Unfortunately the pressure of your clutch plates through your clutch rod will keep on putting bending forces on your two existing bolts, and the clutch will most likely feel pretty soft as the throw out assembly will flex. Make sure that you'll use at least blue Loctite thread locker, possibly red, on both of these bolts by filling the threads and covering the bolt threads fully. Gluing the aluminum stud will most likely not hold at all, as the throw out mechanism will put tension on the break surface which isn't even anymore either. You might be able to wing it for a while this way. The good news is that you won't "break" it more by trying it this way, unless your clutch simply wouldn't separate anymore properly and the gears changes are getting sticky and rough. That's your cue that it didn't work. 3. Aluminum welding the stud back onto the case. There is one other possible fix that doesn't require you to take the engine apart. Have a welder aluminum weld the stud back on. You might have to replace the clutch rod seal, as the heat might melt it. I have been riding for 40 years and have only had one chain snap on me. In the future, as a rule, when you buy a used bike, putting a new chain and sprocket set on it is highly recommended, as most people don't maintain their chains. Also, watch some youtube videos on how to evaluate chains and sprockets. ruclips.net/video/J2xAlkOf8MI/видео.htmlsi=syM_QmuMTQxotQ_p My chain broke where the chain link lock was. I recommend not using a chain link lock, but rivet it instead. There are good chain rivet kits out there, don't buy cheap chinese crap for that. The rivet kit allows you to break the chain as well. you'll need your dremel tool or a die grinder for that too. Also, don't buy cheap no brand chains, I see the one you had there (D.I.D) is a good brand chain. For daily street use o-ring chain or x-ring chains are better than high performance roller chains that require more maintenance and more often replacement. Last but not least: I highly recommend installing an electronic automatic chain oiler. www.scottoiler.com/de/ It automatically lubes your chain while riding and will make your chain last a LOT longer. If there is one thing that I would say I hated riding bikes for 40 years now is, lubing the chain. The Scott Oiler takes magically care of that. The V3.1 version is what I would invest money in, I have ridden it on my 2023 MT09 SP now for a while and will never go back to spray cans. Last option: One other way to fix it properly and hold up long term, maybe there are some affordable engines to swap out there. It might end up being cheaper than replacing the entire crank case due to the labor involved. Good luck with the repair. Keep on posting. Oliver

Hi Kiara, congratulations on your beautiful bike. I am originally from Germany and began riding there 40 years ago. Since then, I have been riding almost every single day of my life and will never stop. Seeing your footage from the Alps, makes me envious as where I am living now, in Texas, it's not even comparable to what YOU can enjoy, at least when the weather is nice. I still remember when I began riding at 18 years old, and enjoy seeing when young people get into riding. I currently ride a 2023 Yamaha MT09 SP and have also customized it quite a bit. I highly recommend taking cornering classes that are held on race tracks, and to train slow riding skills as well on parking lots. I personally took the Keith Code's California Superbike School Class. I am sure they have comparable courses in Austria, or you might have to make a trip to the US and experience it here. They have them all over the country here now. superbikeschool.com/ Good luck with your bike and car adventures. Oliver

Hello, did you tighten your chain too much and ran for very long ?

Not sure why some ppl comment about you overtaking dangerously and speeds. You seem to have pretty good control of the bike, speeds were not very excessive and all the overtaking manoeuvres seem perfectly fine. I've seen plenty of riders with 30 years of "experience" that shouldn't be on any bike at all. Including plenty of youtubers. The years mean nothing if your doing 1k every year. When it comes to the chain is it very unlikely that it broke because of lack of lubrication. Lubrication is not as important as most ppl think. Most probably cause was improper adjustment of the chain. To tight, too loose or misaligned .

This is all patchwork.... maybe you should bite the bullet and replace the crankcase, I know it's so much more work, but the opoxy will not hold in that place. There is oil, heat, vibrations, and crankcase pressure....it's only going to hold for a very small time and give way, leaving you with even more lost time and money.

How does a chain "rip?"

Nice bike

I'm about to own one...but I'm worried about spares , where can i get them in South Africa?

Super ❤

Nices Video, auch die anderen sind super :) Man merkt, dass du dein Herzblut reinsteckst, gib niemals auf und du wirst sehen irgendwann kommt dein Durchbruch auf RUclips :) Auch dein Englisch ist absolut on point🙏 Grüße aus der Nachbarschaft und viel Erfolg weiterhin, Abo definitiv dagelassen

how does that not change the spring rate?

Great video

be careful , that thing is fast :D

how did you still get a brand new XJ6N so many years after its production ended? wow WAIT, 21K KM clocked on this bike and it still looks so brand spanking new?

buy original type of windscreen vipers and it should be fine, those aero blades raerly work on a cars that have original classic style viper blades

Keep up the good work honey.. the mini and random people appreciate you ✌️

Scenery is amazing, reminds me a lot of Canada, all the trees, mountains. and even better with a Mini Cooper S and girl driver that can drive properly (manual shift ) fantastic photography and camera you have.

nice onboard section at the end of the video.. i am sure in time you will be able to buy a used or new casing for your bike, yes maybe the alloy glue will hold for a while until you can get a new one. keep everyone updated..

This video was made a year ago so i think my comment is a little late. for more precise measurements you can measure from the shoulder of the strut (a line machined on the strut where it will get bigger diameter) instead of the thread, as the thread is not parallel line horizontally. even 1 mm can make a difference. if you are going aggressive i would recommend "eccentric top mounts" so you can set the correct camber and caster at an alignment shop after. for wheels, yes some lighter wheels with correct offset would be best option, spacers not recommended as will put more stress on your wheel bearings and will make the tire close to the wheel arch / fender edge and trim. from having a gen 1 and gen 2 Cooper S, i think the factory suspension is very good setup, i think a 10mm drop if you wanted would be ok, but 15mm or more not for road use. as then you need to change a bunch of other things. good on you for trying to do all this by yourself. look at Demon Tweaks, or ECS tuning for wheels / parts etc. or more local if you know where to find. generally with wheels, you need to check out all the details, like size, offset, hole spacing, how they are manufactured (flow form good option, forged are obviously best but cost the earth) weight is a very important factor to consider. less weight better performance and less stress on other car components. you get what you pay for normally. www.demon-tweeks.com/eu/motorsport/wheels-tyres/competition-wheels/ Speedline Corse 2120 Turini Alloy 17" wheels i had on a Subaru back in 2010. awesome wheels, but again you pay for them.

great video and well documented. something i do is once your oil pan drain plug is out, and oil filter is out (with the filler cap removed) is pour some new oil (if you have plenty) until it runs out of the oil sump pan drain port clear. this basically flushes out the oil gallery's and areas the oil runs through, making sure its respectively cleaned out, and you will have super clean dip stick and oil in your engine. make sure you torque the drain plug and filter cap to the manufactures specs with a torque wrench. and if your ever at a BMW / Mini dealer, or order online get a bag or about 10 sump plug copper crush washers so it will do you for a long time. you can also buy a case / pack of 4 filters (official ones) i think i got online somewhere when i had my 2007 Cooper S. love that drain pan and idea of custom made wooden ramps. great idea. As you drive all weather conditions and in the snow etc, have you considered getting a Alloy rally type sump guard? it can save destroying your engine if you hit a block of hard snow / ice / log etc loving your channel and Mini videos, not many people like yourself that can do their own mechanical work on their own car.

I really love the light blue assents and trim lines, this is a nice spec and used to have a 2007 Cooper S, it was nice. however there have been some engine "death rattle" issues on some years. i think a lot of the time if you look after your car, service it well and keep up all the maintenance service then it will look after you. i am now on my 5th Mini Cooper, so yes i do like them and got to know the mechanical aspects of them. this is a great video and description Kiara.

Hi! What lowering kit do you use? How harsh the ride has become? I have a standard S R56 Lci but it looks to stay a bit to high for my taste! Thanks!

Another great video!

I feel sorry for you and your bike. I hope you can fix it, good luck with it!

@ 8:53 bad decisions, albeit slow, were made. Careful homie! I've ridden for many years and have lost friends on motorcycles. All it takes is one bad move from another car that doesn't see you passing. Good luck on the bike repair. Not sure about your model, but they do have 'engine case savers' for most bikes that just bolt on to protect the engine if the chain snaps. Usually when that happens, the chain just gets mangled up in the front sprocket and does major damage, as you know. Be safe and keep the content coming!

You are a confident rider @kiara. It's unfortunate that this happened but it is also fortunate that you may be able to fix it with only a relatively low level of difficulty. We all have some issues with chain maintenance (until we learn, that is) so going forward I know you will see to that meticulously. All the best. Be Safe. Be Free.

Gotta say, as a rider for 30 years myself, you're making dangerous overtaking maneuvers for your level of inexperience. Stay safe.

Motorcycles aren’t as safe as cars, so please, stay sharp and ride safe. ❤❤❤

How did you lose your Austrian/German accent? Liebe Grusse aus Bosnien...😅🚙🚲

It’s really a dream to live in austria and own a bike to go on trips…beautiful country honestly… Hope you can fix your bike soon…

the numbers on your speedometer scare me😬 but I really hope you manage to get your bike fixed asap & that it won't be too pricy of an endeavour, good luck! <3

Those roads look amazing and your website is very professional,your videos are always interesting and informative 👍🏻

Beautiful girl, cool mini and stunning mountains.. what more could we ask for.!

Nice car, Which is your mileage for servicing the car? BimmerN53

Congratulations! Nice bike! I also got a XJ6 as my first bike last April, just yellow tank and front mudguard (like my avatar here 😁). Looked for a black one like this, but the yellow color is awesome. Super happy with it, though for longer rides the seat gets a bit uncomfortable for me so I have to stop, walk around a bit, and then continue (maybe that's just me because I'm tall, but otherwise great seating position). I do need to replace the indicator lights, though, because the front ones are very loose... Those LEDs look great. Those Alpine roads look amazing! We really do have beautiful scenery here in Europe. I live in Croatia on the coast, and riding by the sea on the main Adriatic road is just wonderful. Ride safe! God bless you and keep you!

Awesome bike, look forward to seeing it in action

ReAlly nice! Did you do the details yourself? Id love to customize my next mini.

So relaxing and rewarding to watch. Great job.👌Also very nice job with the videography!

Entschuldige dass ich deutsch schreibe, mein Englisch ist nicht so überragend 🙂 Wenn es um die Optik geht noch zwei sehr billige Vorschläge. Heißluftpistole und diesen "Warnsticker" vom Tank entfernen. Einstellbaren Kupplungshebel kaufen. Der kostet nur ein paar Euro da der keine Zulassung benötigt. Die braucht nur der Bremshebel da er zur Sicherheitsausstattung gehört. Die Hebel würden in Schwarz zwar noch besser aussehen, aber dann leider mit Prüfzeichen. Viel mehr würde ich nicht machen da es schon ein älteres Bike ist. Und nur ja keinen anderen Auspuff, schon gar nicht in Tirol. Viel Spaß und sitzen bleiben!

Love it and just subscribed! Can't wait to see more bike content. Can you do a video on how to ride with a pillion? I've been wanting to learn for a long time.

congratulations, ride safe

Congratulation. We have a 2013 Yam XJ6-N too at home. Not hard to DIY. Quite a versatile motorcycle with more than enough power. Easy even at low speed. A bit heavy compared to some other motorcycles but then it uses a 4-cyl engine. A small windshield up front does help on the highways. Ride safe.

Was thinking to buy this bike as my first bike as well, will get it next year. Very good mods you got on the bike already. Going to subscribe now to see what else you are going to do with this gorgeous bike.

Greetings fae Scotland. Ive got same bike but in red. I sprayed the silver panek black. Renthal ultra low gives a slightly more aggressive position Enjoy!!!!!!!

Bikecontent incoming!

For decals i highly suggest getting the tape that goes around the rim of your tire they usually are a small detail but they make the bike pop, i have a yamaha fz6 from 2007 its black and it has some red on it and the red tape on the rims make it look so much better

Nice content! I subbed! I liked your chill vibe and video presentation. Good job!
