How to Balance Your Motorcycle Wheels
Wheel balancing and rotation is a common practice on cars and it's easy to see why - the vast majority of cars have equal sized wheels and rubber on all four points - that means that when one or more tyres are out of balance it can cause major handling issues. On motorcycles it's not such a big problem but nevertheless, it's still a good habit to ensure your wheels are correctly balanced. And if you change your own tyres, balancing is an easy task to do.
Many people scoff at buying a wheel balancer - they see the price and think it's not worth it. But if you've developed the skills to change your own tyres it makes sense to be able to balance them as well. And given the prices charged by most mechanics to do so, you'll recoup the money spent on a balancer within a few sets of tyres. We personally use a motorcycle wheel balancing and truing stand from Bikeservice. It's top of the line and probably overkill for most as it even includes the ability to measure runout. If you just have non-spoked wheels, a basic balancing only stand is sufficient.
Tools you'll need for this job are:
- Wheel balancing stand (www.motoplace.com.au/wheel-turning-balancing-stand)
- Wheel weights
- Tape/Marker/Chalk to mark your wheel

How to Bleed Motorcycle Brakes with a Vacuum Pump
zhlédnutí 166KPřed 8 lety
If you need to bleed your break lines, it’s because one of two reasons.

It’s nearly the end of 2015 and I’m terribly sad that I’m riding a Suzuki GSX-S1000. Not because this isn’t a great bike for a brilliant price, but because it’s something we all should have enjoyed riding 10 years ago. Unfortunately, Suzuki is late to the party but thankfully the naked GSX-S1000 is an excellent machine that is in keeping with the GSX pedigree.

The island province of Bali, Indonesia might be a hugely popular tourist destination but it's hardly renowned for its trails.

A comfortable sportsbike - that what BMW is trying to achieve with the brand new BMW S 1000 XR. At its heart lies a retuned version of the S 1000 RR’s engine and geometry that’s more akin to an adventure bike than a track bike. So does it succeed? For the most part, yes.

MV Agusta Stradale 800 Review. The MV Agusta Stradale 800 is a first of the Italian brand, a sports tourer that's more about comfort than outright performance. But despite it's more relaxed ergonomics, it's still a weapon and a beautifully crafted one at that.

Isn’t this hogwash!?? It’s about counter steering!
I just crashed yesterday due to a driver stopping in front of me I can tell you right now my motorcycle will not stop that fast I was doing 55 on a 06 Harley Electra glide ultra classic and my bags and trunk was full and I weight 300 pounds so in total I was about 1200 pounds it ain’t stopping that fast that’s what lead me here everyone saying you should be able to stop before the car did shit
Way too much music
Not bad. Good help, in fact! I'm not sure about Aus but here in the US, aerosol ipa can be a bit challenging to find locally and would usually need to be ordered. If this is locally available in AUS, I am jealous!!!! If I may share what I do: I just lift the end of the grip and cut them off my bars using a knife or utility shears. They are either not what I want or they are worn anyway. Clean the bars with acetone, and then spray some hairspray onto the bar moments before I slip the new grip onto the bar. The hairspray acts like a lube for about 3 min and then it dries to an adhesive that wont slip. Give it a go !!!!
Great video...perfect angles and very thorough
There's no way that bike is consistently stopping below 10 meters going 60kph, that's a so called wishful thinking speedo or some other variable playing a huge role here. Worst speedo I've seen was an MT-07 that read like 13kph lower than your actual speed. In real life riders are far more likely to brake equally to cars or even a little worse because skill issue, (stomping the brake in a car isn't hard).
Thanks dude. Worked like a charm.
almost I do not hear the words, only this awful heavy music...
Last step: going right in the ocean 🥰
what type of rear brake reservoir holder is that? I like the hook part as a safety device for the cap.
is there something similar for the front reservoir?
392K views. I wonder how many lives this man has saved. Even if one of these people used the information in their ride, that would be awasome.
who can hit the brake faster?
can this also lower the saddle part of the bike? like to get your feet touch more on the ground when you stop?
I would like to see high speed test, 200km/h to 100km/h then to 0. And on bike, just use front break and air break with body/hands.
I pour full distilled water into the radiator and then add the coolant in a measuring cup? , I have never changed the coolant before and I want to learn how to do it without having to go to the service center thanks
Very good vid, worked a charm with left grip ..just can't get the throttle grip out ....struggling
Did this nigga just say bar end? Wtf is that???
Never use power tools while doing this, that retaining screw got all messed up using the drill.... flathead screwdriver is what you should use.
I had to twist the barend themselves to get them off. The bolt was entirely too tight I was about to strip it.
En français s il vous plaît 😢
In this case it has more to do with the performance of the car. The brakes are just slipping and the tyres are nowhere near their limit. Whereas the bike is much closer to his limits.
Can you put the calipers in a sonic parts cleaner 😮
This is an American video and show roads in the USA and elsewhere . Basically its good for riders to know about the limit point [ or vanishing point ] and we do train that here in the UK but if you look at their road positionings you will see that they are using the performance line which the can be taught on to make progress around each an every corner or bend. This is the out - in - out line in order to take bands faster. We do not teach that line here in the UK as we have the vast majority of our road out in the country and our road are narrow with many bends. What we teach in the UK is to slow on approach to determine the correct speed using the limit or vanishing point where we are now keeping a constant distance form it and that gives us not only our speed round it but also our stopping distance form it. That distance should be the distance that we can see to be clear and to be able to stop in and on our own side of the road. So this video doesn't mention that but its what we train to do in the UK. Further our positioning on any bend us is to keep that safe stopping distance and to be paralleling the curvature of the bend. This enables us to have less of a lean angle which is safer than having to lean over more at times on a bend. More lean means less available grip. We advocate a positive and constant throttle [ no acceleration through the bend until almost vertical and coming out of it. ] and that helps making it as smoothly as possible. On a positive but none accelerating throttle this throttle balances the bike front to back and if something un-towards happens we have enough ability to slow or steer away from danger. Too quick a use of acceleration, although it feels good, if we are still on the bends but at or after the apex if we use too much throttle whilst with a lot of lean angle we can over balance the the bike and lose the contact with our rear tyre and the road, then lose the bike totally sliding off or if it kicks back when we de -accelerate it could high side us off and that is painful. Happy and safe riding.
Thx
What if I have no bar end
That was superb
Thanks for being so quick and showing everything step by step
Hard to focus on what you’re saying with the music playing in the background. Unprofessional.
While pumping the brake fluid, isn't it necessary to hold the brake pedal down to allow the fluid to flow through?
Very helpful
In a controlled environment, a bike can. But in a sudden breaking situation the bike will lose control
this is so bad though. like the bike was braking like someone who has never ridden a bike before
Target fixation at its finest 😅
So if a-c>40mm then you adjust the spring to be stiffer in order to be between 30-40mm and if a-c<30mm then you adjust the spring to be softer. This is what I saw on your video. You had a-c=45mm and in order to be between the optimal limits, you compressed the spring. Right?
Great video. Used WD40 for mine to get the old grips off - worked a charm. Thanks for the super advice
I’m very surprised! I really thought a car would stop sooner. I wonder how much it depends on the type and age of the car. I feel like there is a big difference between types of car. It’s frightening to think of the stopping distance of a UTE or 4 Wheel Drive with All Terrain or off road tyres! I’d love to see how an adventure motorcycle tyre would compare with a road bike tyre!
Add in the mix the type of the breaking system present inside, since different types, will have a different efficency during the breaking, the type of road where for example a car recover faster than a moto for bump another example are don't flat road. Could be nice see a recent comparison also between moto and car both with ABS Cornering despite can't be never exaustive nor considered conclusive given the differents situations possible.
How come he's using absolute figures while the calculations are relative to the suspension travel length?
Hi, could someone share whether I need to make preload 0 when I measure suspension length or max suspension travel with the rear wheel off the floor .Im a beginner trying to learn to do this on my own, so my question may sound stupid ,but still please share what your thoughts are .
hello there. I was flushing my coolant 2 days ago and I noticed that everytime I poured in water and let it drain the water came out clean but feeling like it had an oily waxy substance. Is that normal
Bad video never run the bike to clean the chain!
The one video that shows my style of forks and he skips through so much sh*t. 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😠😠😠😠😠😠😤😤😤😤😤😤😤
An inexperienced car driver can stop much faster than an inexperienced bike rider. Every rider should practice stopping at various speeds. Practice on a straight road with no traffic. Do it on every bike you ride. And practice at least once a year.
This, biker has to be ready for emergency situation more than anyone else, please practice. Though, I think defensive riding is even more important, to never encounter such situations in the first place. Better 5 minutes late than never. I see too many reckless riders where I live, and some of them messed up their health forever just next to my house. I'm not a rider (yet! someday I will...), but my first years behind the wheel were pretty scetchy and I had some close calls, but never crashed. Once I started changing my driving style it changed everything. One person making mistake is usually okay if others keep attention, but when two or more reckless drivers meet eachother it's a recipe for disaster. Avoiding blind maneuvers, backing off and keeping distance made world of a difference and I can still go fast once I feel safe. One other thing - being sleepy/tired/emotional is just as bad as being drunk. Would not recommend 2/10.
Bot
Use a flap wheel to grind that rivet out instead of a cutoff wheel as shown, it's a lot safer.
2:59 I think it's very important to messure the horizontal lengh rather then the vertical lengh. My rivet was 5.6mm vertical, then 6.0mm horizontal. I kept tightening cause it wasn't budging! It wasn't spreading horizontal even tho I tigthened up the 17 socket! I was going mad but I think the reason is sometimes It can spead out verical or horizontal? So maybe best to messure both the vertical & horizontal width? No one talks about it.. surely i'm not the only one to have this issue or am the only one to notice it?
Why would you open the bleed valve before putting the hose on and get brake fluid everywhere? Ah cause you got a stupid adapter, I see.
Braking could be more dangerous for bike as lots of factors effecting bike braking distance such as( weather, oil , turn, tyre , rider ext…) so motorcycling is not easy job ! Do not tail gate cars please
This video was awesome! Thanks bro
