Adding to the pushing the bike backwards.
If you’re pushing it this way, you have no way of braking.
Solution: Leave it in gear & hold the clutch in to roll. Release the clutch to stop.🤙🏼
I was using the two hand method once and had a funny mistake.
Released the clutch to stop from rolling down the driveway and forgot I had left the key on... It bump started for a second and caused my first ever drop.
adds ressistance
If you push a bike backwards you have the front brake
you do, you simply just let go of the seat again and go for the lever
How fast y'all be pushing your bike backwards 👀
One minute of silence for every kickstand abused from now on, for the glorious chain lube moment.
Been doing it for years on my dirt bikes. Wouldnt risk it with a road bike though. Way to much extra weight too.
@@JASHIKO_ road bikes in the 200kg range are fine. We do that to turn the bike around as well. I even saw a guy do that on a GS1000. Side stands are stronger than they look
It's ok if the kickstand is on the frame, wouldn't do anything, but some bikes like ducati have the kickstand on the crankcase, you can brake it with this method. ALso it's better to put the lub inside the chain instead of outside
Be careful with the kick stand trick,kick stands have been known to snap under that kind of pressure
Then you be even more surprised that you can swivel it 360 if you lift both wheels off the ground.
I've been riding for more than 20 years and still learned something from this video (namely, the finger lickin' good tip).
Yep, I didn’t know that either
Same 👍🏻
Same here
I some how started riding less than 6 months ago and I noticed when I rode in the rain my gloves worked on my phone afterwards so I tried licking them one day. Haha
You wouldn’t be licking it if you’re in COVID-19 infested world. Gas station for one.
just a tip, dont leave the goggles on the helmet the strap will loosen and in a year or two you will have to buy new ones (tip from my racing life)
I fold up the strap then just rest the goggles on the helmet
my goggles stays on the helmet from the day i bought them (about 4 months ago)
Free hack/tip:
Dig around your closet and find an extra luggage strap, guitar strap, or anything like that. Fold it up flat and tuck it in your riding bag or jacket pocket, and when you get off the bike, loop it through your chin bar or chin strap and boom. Instant carry strap for your bucket. You can wear it crossbody and stuff your gloves in it, take off your jacket and drape it over the helmet too. Simple and extremely effective.
Personally, I use an old guitar strap and a neat carabiner and I just loop mine through the ratchet strap so the helmet hangs more level and less likely to drop a glove out.
It's such a simple and easy hack, and takes up almost no space. Really worth it.
this tip is underrated dude
Wow, I need to look into this
Use 2 and wear it like a backpack 😲
Beginner here,I've been learning alot from your contents💯💯
@Nelvin 7408 bro what 😂😂
I've pushed my bike hundreds of klms oiling the damn chain, kickstand brilliant.
You can also use a car jack on the opposite side(I put it under the swingarm) to hold it up safely if you can't find someone to help you :)
Just buy a bike stand/paddock ma dude :)
bro, kickstand and putting it on a gear is a lot easier than hand pushing the tire
@@ygzhnztrk till your fingers get caught up between the sprocket and the chain, I've seen it, it's messy
start the bike and kick it into gear for an easier time, coming from a dirtbiker who does their own maintenance alone
For the kickstand/chain lube trick: just use a piece of a wooden bar or something to place under the opposing side of the wingarm, that way you don't have to hold the weight of the bike and can easily do this alone
my thought exactly
I've done this after putting the front wheel into the curb. Worked in a pinch
Me realising that I've left my gloves inside my helmet for the last 4 months 😐
Have you taken it out yet? 😂
@@nitink.a567 No 😬... my equipement is currently in another country.
@@goduxunike bruuhhh
I've done it for the last 15 years lol
I can feel that one. I have a brand new Shoei Hornet x2 with my gloves in it back home in America....I am in Thailand....for the past 3 years..lol
Another greasy hands tip: Soak your hands in liquid dish soap and let it dry before starting the work. It soaks into your hands and helps prevent grease, oil, dirt, etc from getting into all the little spaces in your hands. Mind you with Covid 19, most people have nitrile or latex gloves around the house now - I highly recommend those over anything else.
Carrying gloves on you helmet while your out is ok untill you loose one of them..😂😂
Beginners will definitely benefit from these simple bike hacks. Great vid again, CC 👍🏻💯
Edit: Btw, something to add regarding the glove in helmet hack. If i carry my backpack, the helmet will go onto my backpack strap for BOTH my hands free to do my shopping 🖐😁🖐
just make sure no one gets too interested in your helmet or gloves when they hang from your back where you can't see them
I´m a 41 yr old new rider (duke 390) and your videos helped me a lot. Thanks for that!
Walking the bike: use the engine to walk the bike forward, it conserves energy.
Also during U turns on slopes, reverse downhill and use the engine to go uphill. Always use the clutch as the main stopping mechanism while reversing downhill, the front brake has very little bite on those conditions.
My favorite one is parking the bike uphill, was usefull some days ago, thanks. 🔥
I watched it on another account, that's why I knew it and it was helpful. Watched it here too so I help out in some way 👍
Man, I really like your videos. I don't have my own bike yet, but your vids make me feel like I've got nothing to worry about
Biker all my life- so far! We are a strange but friendly community. Strange bc what we do is essentially a solo event- community bc even lone wolves like myself feel part of something. And just as in all walks of life, there are good and bad. Get two wheels! Bikers, real bikers that is, will always support another bike rider. It’s doesn’t matter what you ride- from scooters to goldwings (😄👌) , two wheels good👍😄😄
The best hacks for beginners in 2021. Excellent tips!
The hack about licking the glove is great. I already tried it and it worked quite well. 👍
lol love your humor amidst the rather valuable piece of advice.
Funny and helpful. I didn't know about the glove truck for smart phone screens.
Excellent video! I like the way you make these videos, full with funny jokes, love it :) keep on
mate... your editing style is awesome ... jokes on spot :D ... awesome and helpfull content .. love every one of your vids :)
This was great!
I think your the best south africa RUclips 🇿🇦 hands down
finger lciking?! after 20 years I learned something new
Cheers mate
The lubing chain hack really helps!!! Thanks you!
You should lubricate your chain on the inside of the chain, not on the outside as shown in the video. Keep aware that the spary doesn't get in contact with your tires or brakes.
This is d series dat everyone is looking for🔥🔥🔥
Love your videos! Genuinely funny
Just found your channel and I’ve been getting into motorcycles as well. I enjoy your humor haha. Great quality videos! New subscriber here. :)
Awesome. Thank you.
Keep doing videos !
You have something special!
Getting my Ninja 650 in the next couple weeks and your videos are both helpful and inspiring. Thanks for the great content!
Awesome. I love my Ninja 650.
Just got my ninja 650 last week. What a coincidence
Well...8 years of riding experience has taught me all that(the hard way😂), but can be real helpful for beginners.👍
I made a helmet stand from your video and it works great!
Thanks for the detergent trick! Really usefull!
cant believe you removed the motorex off the engine cover and replaced it with liqui moly :)) you re the best!
Not sure if you have mentioned on a prior video but my favorite so far is when in a tight spot pulling the bike up onto its kickstand and pivoting it 180 degrees so it faces the other way and ride out.
Nossa seus vídeos são perfeitos! PARABÉNS!!!
thank you for the video i love it
In November my humerus bone was shattered leaving me with 2 metal plates and 18 screws I had 6cm of my bone taken out so I'm 6cm shorter on my ,left arm. Also the 2 metal plates bend around my elbow limiting how straight I can get my arm. Still awaiting further surgery .... but I WILL be back on my bike ONE DAY soon I hope... watching videos like this, just simple tips and tricks make me so excited to get riding again 🤣🙏
Love your humor bro... all the way from down under
Yeaaah chain lubrication on the outer side is very good thing! You have to do that! 🤣 cheers :)
The first beginner tips vid. wich is acutally good all the way
I'm not a beginner but always enjoy your content. My partner got a Duke 390 about the same time as you, did you know there is a hidden grab indent handle under the side seat fairing for when pushing backwards?
Love your video bro
I use the car jack to lift the wheels for cleaning/maintenance. In the front is easier to lift in gear and with handlebars turn to the left!
I used to use a pallet jack to raise the bike.
Awesome vid
Lol, The Doctor number being 46 is a great touch!
Thank You
When i go shopping i put the helmet strap around 1 of my backpack's arms and lock it in there so I can have both hands and have the gloves on the helmet with the visor closed
500 IQ
I do this also!
I have a backpack with some straps on the sides for bottles and stuff, i just loop it through them haha
thank you!
“Dear Valentino Rossi” hahahahhahaha 😂
When I had a cruiser I wasn’t able to use a motorcycle lift or paddock stands to lift rear end. So I used a ratchet strap and a car Jack. One hook wrapped around the left fork. The other hooked to kickstand while down. Tighten just enough so the kickstand can’t move. Then I used a car Jack and lifted from the opposite side on a sturdy part of frame. Lifted the bike just enough to get the rear tire off the ground so I could do rear maintenance.
I love this
good info!!
Good info 👍
I put a car jack under the swing arm, opposite the kickstand side. This raises the rear wheel and makes it accessible to lube and clean the chain. Besure sure to have a cloth in-between so you don't damage or scratch your swing arm.
😅😅😅fantastic 🤘
Good Video bro👍🏻
To lube the chain you can also lift the right side of the swingarm using the kickstand and put a piece of wood under the right side, just be careful not to lift it to much
@7:09 you could use a trail stand or an block of wood or other material to place under the right footpeg holder and you basicly have a centerstand fieldcrafted [tough make shure your front brake is on by tighten it with rope, zippty or valcro band]
Wahaha it's so entertaining
As a rider I'm not sure why I watched the whole video.. But I will leave a like anyways.
Also, nice beginner hack. I use my pocketwatch pocket on my pants to put my key in. Perfect size and easy to take out.
It was hilarious script and amazing hack staffs 👍👍 love from India ❤️❤️❤️ do upload videos 👍👍👍 btw, my fav. Part was the The Doctor 46 😂😂
Hi there, I have a question, what would you choose between a KTM Duke 125 2021 and Yamaha R125 2021?
niceee i want more !!! wowww
I would love to see someone try half of these tips with a 360 kg Harley
I just learnt about the chain lubing on the side stand trick as my bike doesn't have a centre stand.
Time to clean my gloves.
Another option is getting some graphite power (or crushed pencil lead), some pva glue (preferably clear-drying), mixing the two together and painting the tips of your glove fingers. It's a little stiffer but flexible enough and works okay.
Since I've started riding I learnt a few tricks to ease my life:
*glasses cleaning wipes* I buy them in bulk as they are cheap an effective. I stuck them everywhere from my backpacks to my documents. They cost next to nothing and are perfect to wipe your visor, googles, phone, headlamp or even hands or inside of your helmet as they contain alcohol so they kill germs and smell nice.
*Little bicycle tool kit* again something cheap and handy. They cost just around one or two pounds and work on almost all screws on your motorbike. Heck, bike is a bike. It's cheap I take it :)
*Strapping helmet to belt loop* works best on micrometric straps and on beltloopy pants :) Sometimes I use tensioner strap from my jacket but I prefer to use the belt loop. This works best if you need to carry second helmet for a short ride or you go on a short walk as helmet will pull your pants and wiggle around. All in all useful but not always
Hack videos are great....
for the chain, if you have one use the centre stand and lean it on the front wheel
Any hacks for changing the fork seals or lifting the front end up to change it.. I don't have a bike lift and need to change my seals rather myself then pay a shop!
Currently binge-watching lol
coffee grounds works really good as a hand cleaner :)
Nice video man. Was trying to find the gloves you're wearing, like that style. Can anyone help me find them?
The lubing of the chain you can also do with a pair of jack stand and solid bolts that fit where you would have the spools, poor man's spools and then just take me out job done
I always put my glove into my helmet... but I make sure to pull the chin straps down underneath them to help hold them in a little more.
in India we do not even think about these tricks, we are born with it!!
except that go pro one. That was nice.
You are funny. Subscribed
You can use car jack stand on one side for putting up your bike on side stand for lubing the chains insted of picking it up😁.
Flip rear footpeg on the right...and you have a spot for a jackstand...then a few block under kickstand.. Rear wheel off ground and bike stable.
My bike weights 250kg with no luggages, so good luck lifting that up on the kickstand for lubing the chain...
The old ZX6R I used to have was a breeze to pivot in the stand, even to turn it around... the Hayabusa, not so much.
Me knowing all the hacks but still rewatching it for the 20th time
Love yourself content bro
You forget that painting stripes on the bike make it faster, this is a must .
One good hack a friend told me is, if you have a main stand or a paddock stand when cleaning your chain and lubing it. Put it in gear, saves having to move the wheel yourself by hand, also helps with cleaning
1. This video is tips for beginners. Spinning wheel of death vs newbie = bad times.
2. 99% of lubes on the market need at least a half second to dry. Even at idle in 1st it will sling off.
3. Do you really want to be hanging out around the hot RUNNING exhaust while spraying a flammable product? Just one exhaust pop away from turning your chain lube into a fairing scorching flame thrower.
I like how you picked up a big humongous bag of foam peanuts
While being on a bike doing shopping
I love my Suzuki c50. No chain or belt to worry about. Shaft drive ftw.
I really love your videos; I often watch them and enjoy them even if I ride motorbikes since '90s
Anyhow... when you will be travelling to Italy I would love to offer you a cold beer and see you perform your side stand trick and lube my 250Kgs CBR XX chain ;)
and... please note that the lube is to be placed in the inner side of the chain so that the centrifuge force will push it in the chain and not out of the chain (and on your clothes!)
Cheers from Italy!
Graphite powder and water or graphite lube on the tip of a glove finger works to activate touch screens. You can usually find it where they make keys or sell locks.
When I put lube on my chains I do the same thing (lifting the bike) but I'm using my other foot to rotate the rear wheel lmao
I see SA biker. I sub. Keep up the great content.
Bro your black and white leather jacket looks so good. Can you tell me the name of it? And would you recommend it?
I have a honda CB 350 . It has a centre stand so lubing is easy .
What brand of crash guards are on your 390? Just got my 390 and I’m trying to narrow down my crash guard, slider, force field generator list. Cheers.
To wash oily hands you can use laundry detergent and cooking oil. The oil will ease the grease while the detergent is rubbing your hand. In my case I use cheap work gloves with nitrile coating to avoid that process, specially trying to clean black grease nails...
Wow never knew about that Apple watch one
Good luck lifting 200kgs on the side stand and trying to spin the rear wheel.. Thank god for the center stand on my VFR. 👍🏍
