Wow.. I felt his happiness at the end! This is the culture we need to spread out. Well done man.
You help restore my faith in humanity. well done.
You were raised right. Good job.
What a gent, not only fixing the clutch and modifying the chain tensioner but giving the new owner the opportunity to learn.
That man willing to watch and learn will help him more then he knows in his future.
The world needs more of this right here.
Ryan! As a long time follower and Ryca owner, I've chatted with you on the phone and your kindness and time were above and beyond and that's clearly still shining today. As a Savage Guru, your time and efforts were super stand up with this buyer. You truly are a good guy and lead by example. I hope you see this because I thank you for you.
Ryan I am eternally grateful for you!! Truly a one of a kind soul, thanks again for the blessing! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Bro we're bff's now. My pleasure.
@itschinedu hi. at the very least, please wear denim pants, moto gloves and a riding shirt. i know its summer, but your skin is gonna look ten times worse than that clutch the second you hit the ground. invest in your safety.
@@ar2dee2 Thank you for the suggestion. I will make the investment ASAP
Great Attitude Sir! Karma is good!
Good deal, glad the two of you got it done. Love that he's learning how to maintain as well. Two good men
Wow.. That's the decent thing to do... Especially as this won't have been a low miles newish machine either.
Quality shows beautifully.
You are a good man.
Had this randomly popup on my feed. Super cool of ya man helping the seller! Gonna sub man !
Just when you thought the man couldn't get any cooler! Respect.
Drop the music. We can't hear what you are saying.
Very nice gesture to repair it for him, well done
Man, what a great video and thing you did for him! Teaching how to do it and all. The motorcycle community has so many good folks in it and this is a shining example of just that.
I have to admit you are one straight up dude. I have dealt with a lot of people and I have not met very many people that have your ethic. Kudos to you, brother, you are honestly and truly a biker of the first degree.
Wow, you are rare breed! Kudos to you!
Man, I appreciate you! ❤
Ryan....You are a good dude , have a great smile and are doing the right thing.
GOOD TO SEE PEOPLE LIKE YOU, PREPARED TO GIVE OTHERS THE BENEFIT OF DOUBT AND DO THE CORRECT WAY. I WAS BROUGHT UP THIS WAY AND I CAN CONFIRM WE ARE A RARE BREED. BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN GOOD COMES TO THE SURFACE, PERFECT.
If decent person a dealer/flipper of bikes then doing right thing of fixing bike and taking time to show buyer shows that people can trust you as seller and they trust your word and buy other stuff from you
He can also build a portfolio of references for the future. Maybe get some sort of online review system.
your a great guy you fixed it for him real class act
You did what you are supposed to do plus a lot (custom work, knowledge and mechanical confidence). Should you really be extraordinary or should this type of care/service be the norm and shame on people that don’t do this?
I bet that guy won’t ever forget that day.
Kudos to you friend!
I think you made a lifelong friend !!!
golden aces bro I'll buy anything from you you a good man. Made the bro's day and another happy bike person!!
You just earned yourself a lifer! Not to mention the friends and family he'll share this experience with!
At the end of the day you have 2 happy men!😎
If all people did this sort of thing this nation would be in a hell of a lot better shape. One person helping another in need. The kid was lucky he bought it from someone that knows the bike and has the ability to repair the one lunger. I always figured that this kind of thing goes toward the plus side when you go see St. Peter. 🙂 Your a good Dude.
This is how we are supposed to treat people. God bless you Sir!
You're one nice guy. Well done, we say here in Ireland, "What goes round comes round, and you did a lovely thing in sorting out his bike, reward does come back in other ways. Top class video, too. Well done.
A big hello and cheers from us here in Ireland.
Yeah you did him right good for you, I sold a classic Chevy c10 truck and the guy called me up and said the transmission went out he wants his money back so I towed the truck home gave his money back and just used it as experience
To everyone saying You help restore my faith in humanity. Just go out and be kind and you can add to this and just think what it could start...
This may be the best motorcycle (good person) video I’ve ever seen. I’m glad there are people like you in the world, and thank you!
Did the tensioner mod while in there. You still know those bikes awfully well. ha ha
Dude is going throughly enjoy that Thumper. Thanks for bringing a new rider into the fold 🫡🤙
Wow what a standup guy god bless you man
Sooo Cool man, wish there were more people like you in the world
A new clutch pak and timing chain tensioner mod. Luckily he bought the bike from a true human being. No you didn't have to go to that extent, but you did. That's the road less traveled.
Yeah the guy almost certainly was at least partially responsible for smoking the clutch but a little bit of time and a little bit of money goes a long way for keeping customers happy.
We should all be so lucky as to buy our old stuff from people with your attitude...nice.
picking a 20 year old bike as your first is a super gutsy move... it's just asking for problems.
Hey brotha thanks for helping out a brotha! I did same thing when I sold my. Honda Black bird and it broke down on him wouldn't even get him home that sucks so I offered options inc money back but he wanted to keep the bike so we did what he wanted Amen ! Once you ride the Blackbird ! And experience that engine ! You gonna wanna keep it ! It was jus an electrical of course. Thanx. so much for helping our brother.
My first bike was a 06 ls650. It was the same color as that one, too. It was a great little bike that I had a lot of fun on.
You’re an example. Showing a man how to fish and helping beyond what’s asked purely for the benefit of your buyer. I hope he’s grateful. I hope god or the universe pays you back.
God, not the universe. Actually fun fact, God made the universe
@@cj8172 I know the scriptures. I’m trying not to push my beliefs on to someone else.
Not even a dealership. Would warranty a clutch. It’s rider error. Nice to see some humanity left in the world. 🌎
Happened to me but it was a month after, Had the cylinder sleeve twist (RM125), found out the machine shop did a slip fit for the sleeve and not a press fit, i ended up taking the bike in and paid for a new cylinder, had him pay for the other parts and put it back together for him. ~ 5 months later i am still getting photos of the adventures he's having on it. cost me ~$400 from profit but i wanted to make sure it was right, sold the cylinder without sleeve on ebay and got a few $ back.
It would have been nicer to have the new owner do the spanner twirling. Best way to learn.
That was pretty cool of you to own the problem after the sale. I hope the new owner at least paid for the new clutch plates.
Long ago I sold a '75 Kawasaki 175 enduro. I told the guy it runs great, it always did when I had it, but it's seen lots of hard use and almost zero maintenance, and it might not last 15 minutes if you really get on it. He came back about a week later and said it lasted 20 minutes before the induction disk broke, and he wondered if I had any parts for it around. (I didn't)
That was an object lesson in how to do the right thing… I suspect many sellers will be shaking their heads, not realising that their customer will make sure all their friends know, and won’t come back, whereas you’ll be recommended and will get repeat business.
For those who need to hear what you said as well as what you did, I would turn down the music if not remove altogether. Great work, Well Done. 👍❤️😎✅
I sold a Guzzi a while ago and the final drive shaft gearbox went tits up. I bought a second hand one and the purchaser was happy to fit it. Happy i did the right thing!
Had a 2000 Savage and did this exact mod. Never had any other issues. Damn i miss that bike! Good work sir! Much respect for coming through for the purchaser. Now for that head plug l leak they're known for. Did Suzuki ever correct that? At the time, I never owned a pair of jeans without oil spots down both thighs .😅
The benefit of going that extra mile is there's not much traffic there.
🥰🥰🥰You are such a brother
I liked and subscribed.
I bought a 1960s Triumph and the next day it threw a rod end right out through the bottom of the crankcase! I towed it back to the guy who sold it to me. I suspect he heard noises developing that I didn’t know weren’t normal. He offered me 1/4 of what I had paid him.
Ryan, I'm sure you felt the great feeling of "Doing the right thing"Karma is a wonderful thing it rewards those good people like yourself and punishers the assholes.
Well done sir , god bless
We need more of you in this would
God bless you Brother man...that was so good of you doing all that for the guy. We just know when something's the right thing to do, if we have a good soul. Good karma your way. . Now subscribed to your channel after seeing this. From a new fan in England. UK.🙏🇬🇧
Just this past month I was treated right by Garmin and HJC. They must have learned from you. Taking care of customers is always the right thing to do.
M6 bolt on aluminum threads, iirc 6.5Nm, just a little shy of 5lbft.
For anyone with no built-in torque wrench wrist, even a cheap torque wrench saves a lot of money. Specially young kids who are growing up and double their strength every year tend to ruin their mopeds by being too heavy handed.
With dirtbikes, I feel its 'buyer beware'. You can buy a bike in good faith and find a heap of things wrong, conversely, you can sell a perfectly running bike and it can break down a few hours later. I maintain the attitude that if you are buying 'used' then you are buying a pile of parts and it is impossible to measure and account for how much trouble-free riding you will get to your first major issue.
Awesome!, just outright awesome, most people would do the well ya bought a used bike good luck! You prove there are still decent people out there. I just picked up a dr650 rode good on the first ride but in 4th and 5th I felt the clutch slip, it was a from a friend purchase, and let him take it out and he was saying it didn't do it for him, kinda up in the air about that at the moment. Goes to show even a friend can steer you wrong, he's going to help me put a new clutch in when I get one but the initial impression was slightly off. He's a friend that's more of a you can do it, but is willing to help.
Uplifting!
Send him a RUclips video of how to replace a clutch. Boom
Got to 4 mins and that music sent me away.
Excellent vid I love that bike. I've never seen one in Australia
That was legit!!
if you dont bvel the welded edges, grinding it down flat removes nearly all the filler material. best practice is to bevel all the edges
you are a good man 🤘🤘
Good man!
i sold a motorcycle and the gearbox exploded 350 mls up the road, i feel i did the fair thing by sending the guy a workshop manual. what was he doing, clutchless gearchanges, not used to the shift pattern and shifted down instead of up ?. that's what 'sold as seen' means 'i'm not responsible for the dumb sh*t you may do'.
That was a really cool thing you did there most people wouldn't have done that. God Bless my friend awesome job!
It is a good thing but most people don’t have this guys experience and tools or a RUclips channel. Most people (who genuinely sold a bike with a working clutch) wouldn’t be able to pay for these two jobs to be done as they would probably cost more than the motorcycle is worth.
You did a good thing ! A used bike is a used bike . But I think maybe he learned a little. I don't know but if he's a new rider he might have rode the clutch a little hard , new riders tend to do that . All in all I think you did right.
Good video.
When I sell a vehicle first I go through everything I know honestly about it and share any known issue. I then print out a bill of sale that both parties sign stating that there is no warranty one the buyer takes it. I don’t have any phone calls later
Nice one brother
Clutch is an easy fix on a motorcycle
You are the best
Rare sub-species of modern man 😊.
Good man
i never had a father growing up either
if he rings you in ten days saying that clutch went out again..... i might have an idea about what went wrong
Offer them a full refund or fix it for free is the only options I would be happy with as a buyer, and if it isn’t fixed permanently then a full refund offer still stands, would be the decent thing to do
good man..
Music overpowered the conversation and added nothing useful. The info you are giving is the gold.
Well done you. Karma works both ways.
I sold my Subaru Forester XT and the head gasket blew on their way home. Buyer beware.
Sure, if you can afford to fix it for someone who can't do it themselves. Separate from the sale though.
Not one damn thing if it was bought “as is”. Now if you want to help the buyer personally I think that’s great but as far as being “obligated”, no.
I had a guy buy the car back from me when it wouldnt start again, he wasnt happy about it but it happened within 30 minutes of buying it and he took it back and said he would fix it and then called me later and said a piston fried and asked if i wanted to buy it after it was fixed lol uhhhhh no.
What would you do if the engine blew
Respect 🥰
As is means just that. If the guy rode it home and it was fine then it’s on the buyer
Good dude
If I sell something, and there is anything wrong with it that I know about, I am going to tell the buyer. But in no way am I going to be responsible in any way for what happens to it after it is sold. When you buy a used vehicle, with no warranty, you are on your own, just like I am when I buy a used vehicle. You are taking a risk. Life is full of risks. That's just the way it is.
hope he pay for the part atleast
Chama ❤💪🏽🤙🏾
I cannot believe i watched this whole video with a big ending disappointment..you should of at least showed him operating the bike because i suspect he is just gonna burn this clutch out as well !!.. i wanted to see his technique!
