I worked at Suzuki dealership and a guy got his girlfriend to buy him a brand new GSX-R 600. He did a diy license plate delete and relocated it in front of the rear tire. He should have checked to see what he was screwing into with his drywall screws. Right through the ECU and into the battery. One of my favorite things that happened working in that shop.
Why mount it at that point? The cops will still ticket you for it not being visible, may as well just carry it in your backpack or just leave it at home and don't stop when you see flashing lights behind you.
@@aniyn - I'd do the simple maintenance myself as well if I wouldn't be to lazy due to bashplate and crashbars having to come off for the oil change, etc. XD
I don't think Ari has ever had any formal mechanics training but damn he knows his stuff. Watched him for years both breaking down stuff for us simpletons and doing amazing improvised roadside repairs. Such a great contributor to the motorcycling community.
I've had a customer bring their motorcycle into the shop complaining that his bike just quit, turned out it was out of gas. Another customer was proud of himself that he spent all winter putting braided stainless on his entire wiring harness but did nothing about the tiny sharp stainless wires poking into the harness. His complaint was every time he honked the horn his bike quit (he's lucky that's all that happened)
The R1 with the disintegrated air filter, that was a BMC brand filter. I see it often with that brand. The plastic they use around the outer frame of the filter does NOT hold up to heat long. This happens after the filter gets more than a couple years old. And Ari is 100% correct about checking the tank A, #1, first thing.
I'm loving Ari. I don't ride motorcycles. I always wanted to. I'm a car guy, for sure, but I love and respect bikes and bikers. Ari's outlook, attitude, reactions, etc... is awesome! I'll be looking up Revzilla next
10:29 I've had a similar screw get stuck in between my swing arm assembly and the engine casing and it actually pushed a hole through my engine compartment and dumped the oil under the rear wheel. Fun times
8:30 you arent wrong about maintenance! Not quite the same thing but the surface grinder at my old work my boss had been filling with 5w30, instead of proper machine oil. When the chain-traverse finally gave up the ghost the sprocket was essentially the shape of a blunt circular saw Edit: per your point around 15:30 - you are indeed unfortunately correct, this was how I lost my best friend in 2019. Chain snapped and bunch of knock-on effects took him off. RIP Matt ❤ never forgotten brother
FortNine (Ryan F9) and CTXP hands down the best motorcycle contents. I love the Motorcycle Magazine channel when Ari and Zack was on there. I still rewatch their old stuff.
As a paramedic, I dread calls where a motorcycle is involved in a crash. On the way, while arranging everything for a major trauma in the ambulance, I just keep saying to myself "please don't be a corpse".
My mother has an old Kawasaki motorcycle that's been sitting derelict for well over 30 years at this point. When I was a kid she wanted to fix it and both me and my older sibling at various points in our lives thought of maybe trying to fix it with the intent of learning to ride. These videos have reminded me that that would be an undertaking requiring far more effort and expense than we could probably handle.
@JoshuaTootell well, the problem is that literally everyone in my immediate family has some combination of clinical depression and/or ADHD so the motorcycle would get dissassembled and then left strewn about the garage.
@@ZevVeli I think that's not at all uncommon with people riding motorbikes - as two-wheeled motion is a known favorite in ADHD circles. Why? Because riding them is involved and focussing - as in, you get loads of signals that get you back on track, focussed on the issue at hand; speaking for myself, if I make the daily trip to work any other way, I often spend my time either worrying about the work day, or contemplating some aspect of my private life that may very will interfere with work throughout the day. If I go on bike, I spend that time thinking about nothing else, except riding the bike. And honestly, fixing a motorcycle is great exercise for your skills. Don't trust yourself having torqued each bolt when installing something? Mark them with a pen right after you tightened them. Afraid of spraying all the little parts all over your garage? Get clear ziploc-freezer bags beforehand and mark them. Also, find the "parts explosion" drawings for your specific bike, which are undoubtedly available and will detail every little washer, nut and spring. Losing track of the overall goal, as in "getting the bike ready for mom's birthday"? Define and prioritize subgoals, such as "safety equipment (brakes, tires, suspension) > drivetrain (engine, chain) > electrics > body". And if you can't rely on anyone else in your family to do parts of the work, a motorbike restauration (as long as you're not talking concourse level) is very much a doable project for one guy, if you put in regular hours, and do the effort beforehand to set you up for an organized project!
I work in gas fired heating industry and ceramic failures on the electrodes like that spark plug are rare but do happen. Pretty harmless and funny problem 😂😂😂
14:00 Hey, sometimes you just have to ride to the parts shop with a sponge as an airfilter, because the old one got ripped to shreds by a backfire. And then they don't have stock airfilters for your bike, because you ride a 24 year old import. So you try to cut a filter from bulk filter material, and it rides like shit, so you switch back to sponge and ride home and wait for the stock filter you ordered a week ago.
I've been watching donut enthusiastically without even expecting motorcycle video. me being an avid motorcyclist, i love Revzilla and fortnine and other such god moto-tubers, seeing motorcycle stuff frequently on here is so nice. love you guys. :)❤️
I love that you guys are doing colabs on motorcycles with the guys from Revzilla. I would love too see you guys bring in the Gray Fox and other personalities from over there! Keep doing this awesome content!
"Check the simple things" While in school, Gave a Lava lamp to engineering class. The Lamp would light but the lava would not heat. They spent 2 weeks, took the think apart and back together and couldn't figure it out. My little sister looked it over. LEB Blob won't heat the lava. They were all embarrassed. The professor loved it.
2 moto videos in a few weeks! What? Is it finally happening?😂😂 so awesome that you all had first Zach and now ari on here. I also think that it was a very good choice to have Jeremiah on as you can tell his passion and knowledge of them. Nothing against jobe at all as he does good videos, just you can tell Jeremiah is a bike guy with passion for them. He’s only been talking about making bike videos for like years now
I was asked by a customer who had a deep cut on his tyre "is it better to glue it with rubber glue because super glue won't flex as much and may crack" Least he put some thought into problem.
8:02 on the front Sprocket ware one, I have seen that happen to a buddy on the first outing after replacing his sprocket because his chain was too loose and and after a 6 hour day at the moto park it was thrashed again, so in addition to long time negligence, immediate derping and doing the dumb with improper tension will also cause this
11:21 I have had that happen...though not with a bike. Plug went bad in my car's engine ('96 Neon, at the time) and came apart that same way--porcelain came free of the metal. You would not _believe_ the racket that thing made. Total loss of compression in that cylinder, too.
That's our BOY!!! 👊✊
He killed it. :)
Never let that soulful white boy go
"You don't want it too tight, you don't want it too loose, and you certainly don't want it dry." 😂😂
We need that on a shirt!
@@jcedeno117that is actually mental yeah perfect quote😂😂
I've been following Zack and Ari since the olden days. I love their content, and I love seeing them and Ryan Fortnine pop up randomly other channels.
No matter where Ari goes, he makes me feel like I don’t care for my chain enough.
Check your chain every 2nd tank.. I almost threw up. I can't even think the last time I checked it.. 😅
Belt drive FTW
I had to pause to go oil my chain I got so ashamed
#cleanchainsquad
@@dancotton3199pqq😊😅😅😢😮😂😂😂
Im surprised that sandro wasnt in this as an expert he literally does everything
He’s not a motorcycle guy
He'd be a motorcycle guy for The Boys
Gotta give him a day off every once in a while 😂
Sandro is taking over the channel they are just being careful and trying to keep the man down lol
He's ridin dirty in a shitbox wit da boiss

That is impressively stupid. Wow. Drywall screws too......yep, impressive. o__o

@@maxatrillionfatstacks Or just pay a few dollars for a proper plate mount for the specific bike.
lmao.
Wow that’s… no words. lol
Bring Ari more often and do more motorcycle vids.
You mean moretorcycle vids.
🤣🤣
Ari on Donut!? Let's go!!! Love the motorcycle content and Revzilla collaboration!
Ari's videos helped me *not* do shoddy work on my Yamaha. Props for great instructional content,
Dude's given me the confidence to do maintenance myself that I would've just taken to a shop before.
@@aniyn - I'd do the simple maintenance myself as well if I wouldn't be to lazy due to bashplate and crashbars having to come off for the oil change, etc. XD
I don't think Ari has ever had any formal mechanics training but damn he knows his stuff. Watched him for years both breaking down stuff for us simpletons and doing amazing improvised roadside repairs. Such a great contributor to the motorcycling community.
He grew up on the track, keeping his stuff working through a weekend of racing on a regular basis. Nothing prepares you better than that.
I've had a customer bring their motorcycle into the shop complaining that his bike just quit, turned out it was out of gas. Another customer was proud of himself that he spent all winter putting braided stainless on his entire wiring harness but did nothing about the tiny sharp stainless wires poking into the harness. His complaint was every time he honked the horn his bike quit (he's lucky that's all that happened)
You wouldn’t believe (or maybe you would) the amount of Harleys that got towed to my shop and the only thing wrong was a dead key fob battery.
The R1 with the disintegrated air filter, that was a BMC brand filter. I see it often with that brand. The plastic they use around the outer frame of the filter does NOT hold up to heat long. This happens after the filter gets more than a couple years old. And Ari is 100% correct about checking the tank A, #1, first thing.
it was R6 not R1
At last someone with actual bike knowledge 😂@marcello6365
Ari is a legend. Always learn when he’s around.
I love Ari!. It’s always fun to watch him fix things on those big trips.
I'm loving Ari. I don't ride motorcycles. I always wanted to. I'm a car guy, for sure, but I love and respect bikes and bikers. Ari's outlook, attitude, reactions, etc... is awesome! I'll be looking up Revzilla next
their cross country videos are soo good!!
CTXP are the four letters you need to know.
@@peterdeptula3628 cheers. I'll look it up.
I really like hearing Ari talk about bikes, lots of knowledge and no bs!
It's good to see Jer doing bike stuff. You can tell it makes him happy!
Fr. My thoughts exactly
Seeing Ari’s face light up at 6:21 made my day. Great video, thanks guys!
Zach and Ari are both great guests. More of them, please
Two of my favorite RUclipsrs in the same video! I thought it would never happen! Fire it up!
10:29
I've had a similar screw get stuck in between my swing arm assembly and the engine casing and it actually pushed a hole through my engine compartment and dumped the oil under the rear wheel. Fun times
Yeah looks like this one busted the case too.
I see Ari, I click.
Do more of this content as a motorcyclist this is great stuff !

Sees a new real mechanic stuff video: clicks
Sees Ari: **CLICKS FASTER**

Sounds like a fun project. And if it is for fun, a great learning opportunity. Go for it.

Looking forward to see your shows.

Like this guy, knows what he talks about, no nonsense 🤟🏼👍
Also, thank you about the quick chain tensioning recap
Keep Ari coming!
partnering with Revzilla was genius. Fortnine would be another great move
Ari is a top dude!

I almost wee'd myself laughing. Great video and observations.

You guy should do one with go karts and experts, I think it would be a lot of fun! Nice Video!
