60 year old biker here with over 40 years riding experience - All good tips mate and seamlessly delivered - Here's my best one l learnt as a London Despatch Rider back in my twenties - In character-building-weather to combat hypothermia - forget the sweaty trash bag idea and replace it with a soft Woolen Scarf - Just wrap that sucker round your waste to effectively insulate your inner-core - When the going gets proper-tough one's extremities will always get cold and suffer but if your main internal organs get cold you're in real dangerous trouble.
All legit suggestions. Learned a few things too! In older bikes especially, you don't want condensation. Carbureted bikes I think were where the whole 'Run it until its hot' thing came from, for a bike that's sitting for a while. Newer bikes have a coating inside the tanks to help prevent rust if a bike sits over the winter. I always recommend just draining the fuel, and covering the bike. Throw something around the tank if you're worried about it. I've heard ethanol free gas is okay to store in a bike that'll be sitting over the winter because it doesn't separate and form a layer of water on top. What are your thoughts on that? Also do you have any Winter specific tips? Like dealing with salt from the roads, or when not to ride, etc.? Thanks for the helpful info!
Ethanol free is true. I can’t find one close to me. My tank is plastic lol, no rust to worry about. Just gotta pop the lid every so often to vent pressure. I don’t have a specific winter riding video about gear yet.
I try not to ride when it’s way below freezing. I don’t do it because it’s cold, because I ride in the twenties regularly, but if it’s really cold out, and a car has water leaking, or for some reason the road gets wet from a truck dropping something with water in it out of the back, or whatever, it will freeze pretty quickly, and it doesn’t matter how well you ride, ice will wreck your shit. Mcrider has a video about an instance where he hit a patch of ice shortly after a bucket dropped out of a truck, or something like that. He was able to keep from crashing, but only by the grace of god. Lol. Anything that is waterproof is also wind proof, and I ride between 25-40 degrees relatively comfortable with a frog toggs rain jacket over my regular icon jacket, a balaclava, boot liners, and good winter gloves. Sometimes I’ll put thermals under my jeans, but I also have cheap waterproof pants I got from academy sports that work well to keep the wind off. Wind is the enemy.
Just subscribed on this video. Was a bike mechanic for 15 years and been riding for 30. GREAT advice tips for riders!! Just got my first Aprilia RSV4😊 Also appreciated your SC slip-on video. So many companies sell worthless crap with fast talking and a fancy presentations to those that don't know any better. Great job!!
5:13 I've been back riding for tje last 3 years and had previously seen these puncture repair kits used on Aussie truckers driving road trains across the outback (on TV ) and as soon as I saw they were available in my local (UK 🇬🇧 )thrift store I bought two (one for my dad)plus spare threads. Fortunately I've not had to plug my motorcycle tyre ,yet but i have plugged two car tyres and they do work a treat. I have looked into the emergency gas tyre inflators but haven't bought one yet as they do carry some risk, so in the event of a puncture on my bike I'm relying on a kind hearted motorist taking pity on me as most modern cars carry a 12v compressor as part of a tyre repair kit as an alternative to a space saver or spare wheel. Im still running a tinted visor so the tip on carrying a spare will come in handy with our weather being so changeable atm. Love the vids, very informative ,concise and to the point
You can resurface crush washers with fine sandpaper. You can reuse them 3-4 times before they’re too thin, and have to replace them. They usually come with filters, but in case you get one that doesn’t, or you lose one, all you have to do is resurface it.
Great tips. I can get my oil filter at Walmart. It's a Fram, but my oil gets changed long before 3k miles. No idea who really makes Triumph filters anyway. On the oil drain plug washers, you can ALWAYS use them twice if you just flip it over so the plug side is fresh, no embossment. I think we all get angst over oil drip under our bikes but the side that isn't marked will seat to the plug fine and the bike side of it is wider than the embossment so, barring some scratch or other damage, good to go. But yeah, when you buy some, get 10. For more warmth, yes, newspaper (if you can still find) or any paper like stuffing to make more still air space inside your jacket. Most important for your hands and feet to stay warm though. I'm fair weather guy now but they make heated gloves and socks. I worked outside in Alaska. (If you aren't riding, you want the plastic bag on the outside of your jacket) Ebay is definitely a great source for us. Lots of stuff I wouldn't have thought of and very good prices. Amazon for some stuff also (I get my oil there). The gas up and chain cleaning tips are spot on too. I'm not a sport bike guy, but I like your content and your energy. Subscribed.
I got a 60$ oak and iron pump and the rope plugs and actually used it. Way smart to have that. Another is a small jump pack with cables, left my keys in while parked and that joker saved the day.
If you ride Yamaha and have purchased a new Yamaha bike. Make sure to take advantage of Yamaha engine warranty. It is guaranteed for 5k hours, 100k miles, or 10 years. Got to use Yamalube and Yamaha oil filters. Have to have receipts and pics if you do the maintenance yourself.
Solid advice brother. If you have the room, I'd recommend carrying an IFAK kit or at a minimum a first aid along with some basic first aid/cpr training.
When stopped at the lights don't sit out in front of the cars, sit between the 2 front cars stopped because if a car crash happens or whatever happens you have cars either side of you for protection.
These are all solid tips. Great video, with helpful reminders for experienced riders too. I’ve lived through just about all of these scenarios except the axle nut/wheel bearing nightmare; lucky I hadn’t done done that pre-Internet. Here’s the two tips you missed: Download your service manuals. You can find them free online. Get a torque wrench.
For the oil filter and gas station parts, weird but that depends on where you live in my honest opinion. If you live where distances like having to cover I98 to work, then it might clock roughly 180km or more back in my days. Now working in shorter and closer distances like less than 20km from home, it kind of discentivizes me to either purchase oil filter in bulk (I still change the oil by myself) or get a tank refill at the end of every ride. That and mixed millage between the Toyota and my bike, lots of factors counting in how you can lengthen your next intervals, but that's just me.
HOLY SHIT, flickering your tail light is the EXACT thing i do when I'm stopped at a light on my bike. I didn't even know that was a thing, i just started doing it out of worrying about being rear ended. Once a car is stopped behind me i dont worry AS MUCH about being rear ended so i kind of relax some, but until then i am also staring at my rear view mirror, its a GOOD habit to have. I also look in my rear view when pullout onto the road just to make sure no one is coming up on my ass too fast...lol.
I've learned my lesson with the tire repair kit now I always carry a little box with a few things in my backpack. Also the tinted visor comes handy when it gets dark specifically if where you're at there are little to no street lights
I do most of those tips. I always have at least two OEM oil filters (with crush washers) on hand. I keep a can of fix a flat in my saddlebags in case of a flat tire.
Yeah, the OEM parts for old bikes are such a rip off from authorised dealers. An abs pump was 2k USD new. Got it for 200 USD salvaged and tested by a guy.
You're the best AdoboMoto great tips. Now how do I convince the wife to let me keep my 2023 Kawaseksi 636 ZX-6R? I wrecked breaking & motorist due to rearend bump at about 20mph flipping my bike over preventing me from hitting vehicle in front of me but pertain of causation left the scene scene. End result point, emerg -L- clavicle surgery same day, broke ribs, broken hand by EMT stepping over me & standing on my Left hand at the scene breaking my carpal bone & middle falangal central bone - - - horrible. Submitted my statement to insurance & the fire department administration. I'm having a hard time swallowing letting my bike go.
The between two cars bit, coming right after the checking mirrors for getting rear-ended, is one spot I agree with but have a personal exception. I have been in the situation of traffic ahead coming to a complete stop, and wondering whether the traffic behind has enough room to make it. The first time it happened, I bailed out to the inside (between lanes), rather than the shoulder. That was an unintentional move, I think maybe that side was picked as it was the way the bike leaned when I started moving. But that move ended up saving my life, as the car behind me hit the car ahead of me, and the three cars behind us went flying by with tires screeching on the shoulder. I have witnessed a similar scenario (without crashes) at couple other times since. After the first one, I started to prefer inside of the lane to stop when in that situation, with the room ahead to get the shoulder if I need to. It's probably one of the few situations I stop to the inside of the lane.
In most places in Australia it's legal to be between two cars if they are either stopped, or moving below 30 kph. That's the only time I do it too, as it just feels far too unsafe otherwise.
Better than rubber cloves under the gloves to protect from cold, especially if it's raining, is to get those big plastic gloves (like they use in fast food places) and put over the gloves. That keeps the gloves dry, and leaves more insulating air inside.
hello, i've recently bought a ninja 1000sx. the dealer and the kawasaki maintenance schedule shows that the first service needs to happen at 1000km or 1 month. when i brought it in for service after 86km (yes, i know) and 1.25 month, they told me i needed an oil change and an oil filter change. this is my first vehicle and i know absolutely nothing about this stuff, so i just said yes. did i get taken or what?
I disagree with not starting your bike during winters. If I don't start my bikes every 4 weeks - it won't start at all. Not sure why it's definitely not a battery problem. It's something related with injection, as disconnecting power commander and poking spark plugs sometimes help.
We are riding to Reno in March as well as a loop around Lake Tahoe. It’s about 6-7 hours of riding each way. Any tips on long distance travel or have you done that video before?
Nice. Get some heated gear or a pack of hand warmers. Some kind of cruise control palm grip. Figure out what tools you all would need and divy up the load of the tools. Do a practice ride with your homies if u can. The people i used to do long rides with were the same people in my club so we knew how to ride tight and close to each other. There’s a lot to this. I guess i can make a video on it.
Dam that frighteningly close to my annel routine The only difference is the tires have ride on in them that you can check ✔️ out on a you-tube video 📹 😉 I've had to many close calls blow outs on a tire less than 1,000 Miles on it and my wife is to old to be hookn up the trailer so we sold it 😄‼️👍👍👍👍😉👍👍
How often ya'll changing oil that you need filters in bulk? Sure I could do it myself too, but the past 7 years of riding and maybe 6whole services my two bikes needed to have. I never changed the oil myself.
And I'd also bet my chain that cleaning it after every ride will damage it faster than if you do it when it actually gets dirty, especially if you use a chain cleaner.
any tips for someone who has to store a bike outside in freeezing temperatures? I have a 2011 gsxr 600 that sits out and has a cover over it. But thats about it. Is their more i can do? I dont empty the tank or put fuel stabilizer because i ride the bike atleast once a month so
I've done the nitrile gloves under my riding gloves. Can tell you that doesn't work at all. Fingers were throbbing real bad even while wearing winter gloves. Get proper winter riding gloves that are water and wind proof and your fingers will love you for it. Even the cheap china ones work. But rain jacket under riding jacket works better than you can imagine.
New rider. Last summer was first year on a 2011 fz8. This season I'm on a 23 gsxr 750 it's an entirely different platform, and I'm treating it as my first time riding again. Any tips? Sitting position ect.
They've got an app that will alert (whos ever number u set it up for) that you fell/crashed it uses your cell phones sensors to detect it and sends the alert, with your location. Pretty darn cool. Can't remember the name but shouldn't be hard to find.
i started to clean caliper pistons after my close call. brake fluid boiled, so at 200 there was no brake. thankgfully nothing happend because there was enough room on that cornern ( racetrack) but definitly i still have night mares.
The inner race of your wheel bearings are braced by a collar inside the wheel. The wheel spacers put pressure on the outside of the inner race. No matter how tight you make your axle nut, you will never be side loading your wheel bearings because of that design. If you’ve seen peoples wheel bearings go out because of a tight axle nut, they probable weren’t driven in snug against that inner collar. They are not like the cone bearings inside your car that need a preload.
Yeah i’ve had this discussion at the track. We remove these rear wheels so much and when we over tighten, the outter spacers actually get warped. I buy an extra set of spacers because of this and change em out every so often depending on how many times I’ve taken my wheel off. Another reason I just safety wire that nut. I’m making a video about this soon.
@@adobomoto That’s just one of those things you need a torque wrench for. I’ve never had a problem with deforming my spacers following manufacturer specs and my rear tires only last 2500-3000 miles so I have that nut on and off a lot.

Chain cleaning do it reverse way or your hand will get stuck in the chain. DONT DO IT WITH THE BIKE IN GEAR and running
You can resurface crush washers with fine sandpaper. You can reuse them 3-4 times before they’re too thin, and have to replace them. They usually come with filters, but in case you get one that doesn’t, or you lose one, all you have to do is resurface it.
Good tip!!
Love the axle torque tip. The tool kit is helpful too, has saved me as well. I also buy 4 oil filters at a time, this is the way!

I've done the nitrile gloves under my riding gloves. Can tell you that doesn't work at all. Fingers were throbbing real bad even while wearing winter gloves. Get proper winter riding gloves that are water and wind proof and your fingers will love you for it. Even the cheap china ones work. But rain jacket under riding jacket works better than you can imagine.
You’re not the first i heard of this. I’ve used it in 30 ish degrees when i used to work at fedex at 6am when i was younger. Worked great.
New rider. Last summer was first year on a 2011 fz8. This season I'm on a 23 gsxr 750 it's an entirely different platform, and I'm treating it as my first time riding again. Any tips? Sitting position ect.
Show us how to clean brake calipers in the next video!
I already made that video

@@adobomoto I remember it now! Now I get why I have never cleaned. It does take a lot of effort.
They've got an app that will alert (whos ever number u set it up for) that you fell/crashed it uses your cell phones sensors to detect it and sends the alert, with your location. Pretty darn cool. Can't remember the name but shouldn't be hard to find.
Lmk when u find out what it’s called

i started to clean caliper pistons after my close call.
brake fluid boiled, so at 200 there was no brake. thankgfully nothing happend because there was enough room on that cornern ( racetrack)
but definitly i still have night mares.
Any opinion on the cfmoto 450ss?
12hrs, 300 mile ride? Did you stop every 40 miles for over 3 hour?
nice
Sooo, I shouldn't ride a motorcycle in the winter?

What jacket
@@bhavishgadhia3809 joe rocket 92 I believe it is called.
Nice man. They should
What’s the co2 for?
New subs here! Cheers!
5:16, what are those rubber strips?
Damn I need someone to put these in a list for me.
The inner race of your wheel bearings are braced by a collar inside the wheel. The wheel spacers put pressure on the outside of the inner race. No matter how tight you make your axle nut, you will never be side loading your wheel bearings because of that design. If you’ve seen peoples wheel bearings go out because of a tight axle nut, they probable weren’t driven in snug against that inner collar. They are not like the cone bearings inside your car that need a preload.
Yeah i’ve had this discussion at the track. We remove these rear wheels so much and when we over tighten, the outter spacers actually get warped. I buy an extra set of spacers because of this and change em out every so often depending on how many times I’ve taken my wheel off. Another reason I just safety wire that nut. I’m making a video about this soon.
@@adobomoto That’s just one of those things you need a torque wrench for. I’ve never had a problem with deforming my spacers following manufacturer specs and my rear tires only last 2500-3000 miles so I have that nut on and off a lot.
The main takeaway I got from this is that all professional artists have godlike observation haki
OEM parts? What does OEM mean?
I haven't cleaned anything on my bike yet😅 my chain once in 2 years .
