Video

Old video but perfect. Noticed the bobbins on my z1000 were locked tight. It’s in for warranty and they are replacing them all but it’s good to know this could be the fix. Keep it clean.

What size engine are these 214 trumpys you do sound rather POSH and TOFFEE

Skip the stupid intro,, seriously

man this made me very happy went out and mine was loose got death wobble at 45mph after new tire thanks for the video it really helped.

Amazing work. Thank you both and God bless you all.

I just adjusted my 2018 MT09 now it rides a lot better! Thank you

excellent video m8

The ABS light on the clock still works tho when you take the fuse out

Mine is a piece of shit. It looks like it's recording but then locks up and gives me a 'recover video?' message. So I recover the video, successfully, but it doesn't do fuck all. No video.

this is wrong

Hello is it possible to do this on a 2023 Harley Lowrider ST

No

Once you take the fuse out for the ABS, of course the ABS light comes on, but when you put the fuse back in does the light go out or does it stay on and you need to get it cleared? Cheers

Hi buddy i have a question regarding tha hayabusa if you dont mind answering

I have a 1200 bandit and it weighs a ton 😂 nearly pulling my shoulders out 😅

😂 if you know whot you be doing in the 1st place you will know you can remove that air box 😂😂😂 You make it look like hard work.

Hi. Came across your vids when I got the courage up to service my Hayabusa myself. I liked yours the best as your a straight talker and thorough. So much so that when I found a stripped sump plug I used your vid and parts number because where I live, no one could really help and fill me with confidence. I bough the only helicoil kit same as yours I could find and with your guidance I shall do the job. You have saved my ass by taking the time to be thorough. Definitely a fan of these vids. Cheers

Also great video thank you

Was this all good after she was warmed right up? I have had my dirt bike heli coiled. Seemed to leak after i did a oil change!

Inline fuse would be a good improvement

👍

I think you have convinced me, especially as I am a single woman and I am not strong.

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction im in need of the c spanner as mine also didnt come with one any idea where to get one and what size ?

Come back Mr B

This stand is it ideal for removal of both wheels so I can get my wheels powder coated?

Many's the time I've stuffed a wad of newspaper in my jacket to add insulation in winter. One thing you don't see nowadays is the old trick of running spare cables next to the working one following the same route. So that if the cable breaks all you need to do us unhook the ends and connect the ends of the new cable. Back on the road again in a few minutes. Mind you modern cables are much better that the old ones used to be, which were no better than bicycle cables. In fact in my early riding days I remember going into a cycle shop to have a new nipple soldered on to my cable!

Huh, I've never done that. I started on a cg125 and that had a fixed rotor (04 model). I got a bandit 650 around a year and some change ago and I've never even thought to check the bobbins. No wonder my brakes feel so pulsey and horrid. It's not ABS, I've tested that with the rear brake by stomping it. First bike with ABS, dual free floating rotors (holy stoppying power), more than 1 cylinder... Lotta fun lmao. Cheers for this tip, hopefully solves my gammy brakes!

I have never seen this in a motorcycle manual....only on CZcams.

No lube on the rubbers, it can cause them to pull out of the holes. The rubber is meant to grip when it's compressed using the bolts. It's easy to push the rubbers into the holes, just screw the bolts in to them a tiny bit enough for the threads to bite, then push them into the hole and tighten up but not too much. Just snug them up and a little more. The reason it's difficult to push the rubbers in without the bolt in place is because you are compressing the body of the rubber making it splay out.

oh dang, only 9 years late for the comp.. oh well. xD and i recommend anyone with any automobile to get a Haynes manual. life safer

It’s the only stand I can safely use . But the front lift is a pain.

Anyone successfully improved the appearance/painted their bobbins? Tricky item to improve.

I know this video is 7 years ago, but how did you install the Denali soundbomb?

Hey dude. I have the same Drift camera. My green light just stays on. You cant switch the camera off, the green light stays on with no other function to be had.. I had the camera for over a year now with no issues and then went to switch off after a good ride, nothing, just stays on green. Any ideas why. There's nothing in the manual to say otherwise. Cheers

Brilliant bit of kit. I also bought the front lift add on as you did.👍👍

Hi, thought you were supposed to do a mix of coolant and distilled water??

Thank you!

Tracer 900 aussi?

Shouldn’t the bike be flat on the floor to check oil correctly . Having the rear wheel off the floor will give you an incorrect reading

what is the motorcycle kickstand do you use called? let me know

Been having that freezing issue on my second trip out with it. Just found your video so giving it a try, seems to be working so far, many thanks fella 👍👍👍👍

I bought the front lift attachment, brilliant. I can now get the forks out without issue.👍👍

Thank you for this!

I couldn’t watch this all the way through. The camera all over the place and I swear if I were showed/told which spark plug was 1-4 one more time I was going to blow a gasket!!!!

I tried to send this by email but failed. No idea if it's of any interest but it takes me back to an idyllic childhood! Far from new to me, but lovely to see people still appreciating it (albeit mainly 7 years ago) My name is Guy Lambert and I am a brief extra in the film the blond head little tiddler at about 6 minutes in part 2. I should have been more distressed, because my mum nearly ran my sister over in her Morris Oxford a couple of minutes earlier! The main narrator, the writer etc and the owner of Victor Horsman was my dad, Ted Lambert. He started as a m/c apprentice and when old Mr Horsman wanted to retire he passed the business on to my dad, on the basis he got a salary and a new Jaguar every 2 years. Inconveniently he lived into his 90s, but for my dad he was a major hero. He had a large Yacht moored at Beaumaris and my dad and a bunch of Victor’s mates went to the Isle of man at least once a year for the TT and/or the Manx GP. My dad made a number of films about road safety, 3 of which won ‘one of the 10 best amateur films of the year’ 3 times. Me and my 2 sisters each have an ”Oscar” and as luck will have it, mine is for Rode Safely. Reminds me I must get some silver cleaner. We have lost all the films apart from Rode Safely which is in the archive at the BFI. My dad made a bit of a business of it later where he manufactured (in a tiny way) driving simulators and sold films and books around the world - I always remember him sending a bill to the Sultan of Brunei! He also founded a club called CAMDA (Car And Motorcycle Drivers Association) and in my teens we were going to the annual rally at Oulton Park and involved in many activities there including driving round the same circuit as Mike Hailwood, Phil Read, Jim Clark etc drove (a bit faster to be fair). I knew many of the men in the film well - they were in my dad’s team and some were friends - Nobby Clarke, Bill Quinn I remember - I was probably too young for most of them (I was 3 in 1955). I’m also in contact - or was a while ago - with someone called Dave Bonner Wilson who is also on here! He created DVDs of the film, made free copies kindly for me and my 2 sisters and a few years was selling at old motorbike shows! I know plenty more about that era and the film - a lot of it filmed at our house in Heswall and thereabouts. Anyway - hope you found this interesting and feel free to use as you see fit and contact me if you want some more. Eguylambert@email.com

"If your new to riding and you have an mt-09, Holy shit.".... That had me cracking up in laughter but i agree 100%

Those damn birds!

Great tutorial, thank you very much from Virginia, U.S. 👍👍👍

Just use an easy out instead of fumbling with a bolt, quicker, easier

Dumbo they are not supposed to rotate.
