- Legend tells of a two-wheeled monster that burns gas, goes fast, and preys on the weak and the uninformed. It lures its prey with promises of good times, thrills and excitement but rips their head off if it as much as smells complacence. We set off on a spooky quest in search of these mechanical monsters…

This was scarier than 90% of horror movies I’ve seen
partly because we all know something hits close to us, partly because nowadays horror movies are based in jumpscares.
You know what..I don't know if you write the scripts for your videos yourself or if someone else writes them for you. if you do it yourself, I suggest you think about it and start making movies..you're doing great !!
And thanks for all the great tips. v For over 40 years I have been riding different motorcycles I have seen a lot of what you point out and expose.
To my best friend, with whom I have been driving together for more than 30 years, I would soon be hit from behind because my ABS blocked my first brake (Bmw k100 RS, the first generation of the BMW ABS system.). It was right in front of the intersection and I had my legs down so I couldn’t brake on the rear brake in time. I drove past him on the left (we live in Europe) and missed the oncoming Volvo by a few inches. Both motorcycles are Oldtimers. It would be awful if I failed in to the motorcycle in front of me, and even more awful if I fell under a Volvo...
@@michaelb1221 You obviously have other problems that you are obviously not aware of...
I had to watch this during the day near a police station!
YES
I personally loved how at the end he showed all the causes at once. 10:01
Because we tend to forget just while watching the video.
Did a snap-shot of that summary - putting it in my maintenance log (at the front)! 👍😎
10:01 😱😰🥶
@@shimagaijin1 Do you know a good place to purchase one? A maintenance log?
@@Andytheevien for any kinda log I always just buy a binder, sheets of hole punched paper with a gridded pattern fitting for, in this case, a date, the mileage, the maintenence done, and a few more for any details you may want to note such as the measurements you got prior or after, or if you have multiple bikes and one log, which bike was maintenenced, then for notes like this, you simply print or write whatcha gotta know, hole punch it, and put it in either before or after the log(i reccomend before, and also that you get a divider)
Edit: this is all assuming you keep it physically, a digital alternative can be done with something like excel and some file folders to store it in, but make sure to back those up regularly on another drive seperate from the or risk losing all your logbook in event of file corruption or from physical damage to the drive by, for example, a home fire
I've paused the video at that point and screenshot it. That's how brilliant it is.
The fact that this channel never asks to like and subscribe is the one of the main reasons is why I like and subscribe. If only everyone else would adopt this principle.
"BuT iT hElPs tHiS cHaNnEl tO kEep GoInG!!"
well, make better content then! Like FortNine!
It seems this kind of ask has become a standard a few year ago. I was of a similar approach to you when it started. Now it's... become the norm
"fresh fluid every 2 years"
*laughs in wire drum brakes*
"check your chain"
*laughs in driveshaft*
"check your alignment"
ah..... *cries in ural*
Wire drum brakes - Laughs in two finger proper stopping distance!
Check sidecar bolts
my ural had a rapid unscheduled disassembly when it decided to be a motorcycle all of a sudden. It was a CT so no 2 wheel drive, and upon further inspection i was missing some bolts which came loose to the point that only one bolt was left. So check your bolts frequently. Ride safe
@@botyaay1233 2-4years brake fluid
@@botyaay1233 I can imagine that was a little bit terrifying
@@insertnamehere6960 Trousers soiled but no physical injuries. only the front bolt came off so the sidecar didn't get away. but believe me it was the shock of my life when it happened
Apologies for the delay in videos - I busted my shoulder! Yes we got it on camera, yes it will be in a video :) Stay tuned. ~RF9
Busted my leg. Luckily I can still ride on the new one.
Hope for fast recuperation and no "post" effects - love your work !!!
Best wishes !!!
!!!
I hope you'll heal up quickly! I'm currently healing up from a broken leg after a low-speed crash. 🤦
Shit, good to see you up and moving. You need to put some weight on. A good layer of fat is nature's D30.
No probs, hope you're doing fine. loved the video.
Spot on, you empirically identified the killers. I am a factory trained old school mechanic who eventually became a professor. I wish I could communicate complex matters to my students as entertaining and pointed as you do. Respect! Btw., after 40 years of riding I recently had my first wheel bearing suddenly disintegrating on a road trip. Spooky!
Have fun and stay safe! You got the dream job, man.
That happened on my rear wheel a year ago. It suddenly made a screeching sound follows by the rear tire immediately shaking around like crazy. Luckily I was only going 80kph and in a straight line as it happened
More professors should have learned their craft that way!
I had a rear wheel bearing go out on an old Yamaha going around a corner. Thought I was going to eat it for sure
@@limeaidz6560 and your face is a mug
This video alone has probaby saved a hundred lives since the 2 years its been up.
Mad respect yo.
It's actually insane the amount of knowledge and effort he puts in this videos!
If you live in canada, and do all these checks, along with regular maintenance, by the time your done, riding season will be over.
I understand what you posted is meant to be satire... BUT being honest all of these checks take less then 10 minutes if you sent yourself a list of things to look for and become familiar with the process of checking them. Ryan did a great video on per-ride checks that should cover 90% of all of this, in about 5 minutes. Other then setting the sag, and doing a bearing check, everything else is really quick to check.
@@JJ_ExMachina Even setting the sag once a year, would be what 10 minutes?
@@Russh1 ... Yep setting the sag properly for the front shocks, depending on the bike can take just a few minutes. Sometimes the rear can be a little bit more challenging depending how restricted you are. I did my 2005 Triumph Daytona 600 in about 15 minutes, front and back. I always do my own work on all of my own bikes... No need to take them to a shop

I have examples of both my wife's zx6r and my Daytona
I lol’d. But i ride year around up here i dunno about you
@@MrFitness94 I met some Canadian dudes who rode all winter. They even raced bikes on the ice using spiked tires. I think they were Mohawks.
Your production quality is too damn high!
Love it
100% agree
Think everyone in Canada is too ;)
I know I'm late, but I've had wheel bearings fail catastrophically on two occasions with in a year on my TTR 230. That required a rear wheel hub replacement on both occasions, $200 per hub. I'm not entirely certain about what caused it, but I suspect loose spokes. If you have spokes on your bike, give them a flick every now and then, listen for a dull sound.
One more thing about chain alignment from my experience - a loose chain inevitably starts shaking sideways so it's basically misaligned which in my case led to change if: 1. Chain, 2. Both sprockets, 3. Gearbox bearings and a massive repair bill.
1:40 Brake failure.
3:20 Chain breaks.
5:30 Flawed suspension.
7:20 Wheel bearings.
9:10 Headlight failure.
$100 bet that the T in your name stands for "Table-of-Contents" XD
Table of contents....Ahahahahaa
@@pranamacca6319 You, sir, have just won the Internet.
imho I would add suspension linkage bearings
@espirra3 ah, but what if you forget something and need a quick reference
At least with a TW200, if you lose the brakes, you can just step off the bike and walk slower.
you don't need brakes on a TW200, you just close your throttle and those massive types do all the breaking.....you can also use your feet for a more dramatic result!
You mean walk faster?
Or put your feet down and stop Flinstone's style.
😂😂 preach!
Like Fred Flintstone...
It's genuinely nice to have a motorbike channel that isn't biased, gives genuine advice, has editing that catches your attention and ensures that the lessons stick in your mind.
Not gonna lie, the jumpscare around 1:12 just made me burst out in laughter. This wasn't the first time I've watched this video and it likely wont be the last either!
I’m really thankful for the videos that give me a healthy fear of motorcycle riding. These aren’t scare tactics, but they do command respect
smh
Ezra he sounds like a dealership service manager. Scare tactics.
I have found that using fear can command respect but too much fear will make people shy from riding. When i had my first accident im just glad that i had enough respect to wear full gear and not a tshirt with shorts and sandals
The editing on this show is phenomenal and diverse and greatly appreciated by this viewer. To all those behind the scenes, keep up the great work it doesn't go unnoticed!
Just one guy, Anesh
Yah, always enjoyed the information transfer method. Professional, well demonstrated. Excellent editing and delivery. Bravo
Not in a dark room.
What a sweet comment!
So awesome and useful, life saving tips! I crashed twice (60mph / 130mph): none of the 5 bullet points to blame - the weakest, most lethal factor - operator error.
I love that they had the Tdub as the example bike… I’d love to see it get fast enough for a tank slapper, and pre load on the shocks is hilarious!
Lol I got chills more than it did while watching most Hollywood horror movies xD
Because these monsters really are out to get you. Hollywood only spooks you while until the credits roll.
Because you can relate to it
@@just-dl
Haha true that !
@@kriskringle6298
I totally can xD
Me too - but that's because I took my Dark Horse to work today... 31 degrees in beautiful Mn...
Top top quality.....lovin' your work Ryan and crew....
Thanks buddy! ~r.
You’ve hit the mark again and again with your delivery. Engaging and bloody useful! Thanks a lot for all the effort - keep them coming - watching these is like riding with a good trail buddy who’s got your back. 👍
still great in 2020
Yeah......for sure....
Dude..... wtf hahah
I like that you took the time to show people how easy it is to address most of these issues.
I think many of the intervals are a bit short for most riders actual use, but the point stands, that - if it's been 5 years since you've really looked at any of these things - you very due and tempting fate to ignore at least checking them.
I have a friend who ignored my warning about his chain.
A few weeks later it didn't snap, but it suddenly came loose enough that it popped off, jamming his wheel to the swingarm.
He luckily wasn't seriously hurt.
But he didn't save any money, because he still had to buy new sprockets and a chain, but now he had to add to that straightening or finding another swingarm, more time to check if the bike was safe to ride, and a replacement helmet that wasn't as nice as his prior one.
Being a returning rider after 25 years off the bike, I’m really glad I found this channel! I have a short attention span for mediocre video…..these are great! Thanks!
I don't even have a bike. I don't plan on getting even the license in the next 10 years. I still watch your videos like crazy. What have you done to me
The Real Chekako get a bike 🙂👍🏻
What he's done is making you plan to get a lisence this christmas or new year, and getting your first bike.
You'll cave in...it's a matter of time😀
exactly. this is crazy xD
You’ve been bit, there is no hope for you now. A motorcycle is in your future.
That Corey Taylor mask is rather fitting.
i noticed it too,that's awesome
Agreed
dont bring my corey into this
Definitely agree
I restored my bike about 3 years ago and I haven't checked any of those things. And I don't oil the chain near as often as I should, I only ride one day I week, but still. Excellent video as always
Great video Ryan! I had a wheel bearing failure once too on the rear, I was lucky that it didn't lock up. It just felt like you were poking briskly on the brake. When I pulled over to try and figure out what the hell was going on, I found the rear axle slid right ahead with bent adjuster bolts. I was 40 miles from home and a buddy came out with a trailer and hauled me home. Now this was a new used bike to me, and upon tearing it all apart to fix it that whoever had that wheel off last failed to put the spacer in between the bearings. My 99 Heritage still has tapered bearings so imagine the overload on them from having the axle torqued. After replacing the axle, adjuster bolts, spacer and bearings and seals and setting the bearings right she's been mint. Oh, had a headlight failure too once. Overloaded breaker tripped and everything went black, one the gravel road. That was interesting.
You can't be killed by a TW...
The TW would never do that. Too nice. It's the Labrador of the motorcycles.
Even labradors can get rabies. Get them their shots!
Slipknot mask, i see...you are the man of culture as well.
i searched for this comment xD
I’m so glad someone else noticed coreys mask
Where at?

@@ziramy I thought it was a mustache
Working as a repair tech in a machine shop I saw bearings from Thailand fail at an alarming rate. About 3% fail immediately and another 5% before I'm done testing my repairs. I'm sure bearings purchased through a motorcycle parts distributor will be held to a higher standard, but with most affordable bikes from Japanese brands being made in Thailand it is cause for concern. If you're changing your wheel bearings, buy extras, test for a couple miles, then check it again. If it lasts that long it's good.
For what it's worth, bearings from China were slightly better. I don't have enough experience with bearings from Germany, Vietnam, Japan, or Indonesia to judge them. I never had any problems with bearings from Singapore or America.
I only use German, Japanese or Russian bearings . Never had One-Failure , over 67yrs and 51 bikes . Dave NZ
Keep up the great work, man. The effort you put into this channel is obvious and well appreciated by this guy. Subscribed.
Cool! I’ve had 2 out of 5 of these catastrophic failures but I didn’t go down. The brake hose failed at a red light when I was almost stopped. The front tyre blew out at 100kmh but I didn’t go down but I aged 10 years on the wobble to an ungraceful stop (2 up with luggage).
There are many movies with lower content and cinematic quality, well done!
These videos are amazingly great. The combination of your personality and your backers allowing you to run the ship is a very very effective and useful tool for any and all motorcycle enthusiasts. RESPECT
You are a great story teller and the sarcasm is great, hits close to home. I am mot even a rider, to my regret but you fuel my ambition. Thanks.
Man, I love you. Going through some rough times right now and am just binge-watching your entire channel to keep my mind off it. What a fantastically creative and beautifully produced bunch of videos, I'm about half way through and have yet to find a bad one.
I hope things are going better.
@@jared2661able they are, thank you.
Here we are two years later and I’m hoping everything got sorted out, you’re in perfect health, and nobody’s giving you any bullshit
Hope things are going better for you. I’ve been through tough times too, but one thing that really helped me is my love for motorcycling. Stay strong.
This guy is not lying. Ive had bearings fail

I have had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane.

That sound effect at 1:15 was too funny.. ;D Highest quality content! One of the few CZcams channels worth subscribing.
Really impressed by your videos. The script, the camera work, production quality, really top notch. And great information to boot. Thanks for making these.
Excellent as usual.
Lol its mini show every time, killin it!
By far one of your best productions ever! Keep up the great work people. Thank you for all you do.
Not only a VERY informative, but also a great quality - artistic even - video, with a great sense of humor, as always. Thanks a lot for your work, Rian!
Another great video, Ryan. My chain snapped recently, turns out the cush drive was just bits of innertube shoved in there by the previous owner. As the rubbers wore away the sprocket became mis-aligned, I think anyway. Luckily no real damage to me or the bike. Keep up the good work, my friend!
Once again a fantastic high quality educational video. Your videos are perfectly informative without being patronising. Sir, you rock.
Great work Ryan... i just love the way you leverage the Rod Stirling tone... and of course the knowledge is gold. Thank you =)
Brilliant vid for the newcomer like me. Probably the best maintenance advice vid I've ever watched and I've seen hundreds. I thought not having your side stand up might be in the list but I guess most bikes have an electric cut off switch. Anyway, sensational effort. You are doing more to improve riding safety than most online. 👍
Awesome video, love the creativity...Still some of the very best moto content on CZcams...Thanks guys!
Time to sit down, grab some lotion, and enjoy a F9 video

From a fan in Australia, I like the way you put your message across. Keep up the great work, look forward to more informative videos.
Hey Ryan. Been a biker for 53 years. First bike Honda mini trail. Love the channel.
1:14 that "scream" xDDDD
haha
I work in the film industry and I know good work when I see it. Your crew is superb.
Dear Sir, please make movies. This is Bruce from So. Calif., I don't know how large your production company is, but your efforts are as good as anything which comes out of Hollywood. Plus your work is entertainingly informative. I don't know why the bike companies haven't got hold of you already.
Six months ago my chain came off at 160 km an hour. When I had that chain fitted I told the mechanic to rivet it rather than use a clip but he used a clip anyway, saying that only racers need chains riveted. My advice is to always rivet your chain, especially if you ride a powerful bike.
The scariest thing in this video
people still using photobucket as an image host
Motorcycle headlights are fault tolerant, when the dims fail switch to brights!
You create full fledged cinema with these videos. Badass man. Keep it up
Ryan, you, Yammie Noob, & MC Rider have taught me SOOO much more than I ever thought I needed to know.
"Fluids every 2, hoses every 4."

I, myself LIVE by this one, for ALL of my hoses, incl. vac hoses. No coolant, tho. . . oil cooled. 11 years on my '05 Suzuki GSF1200s (Bandit) & she got BOTH during this last off-season.
That shining reference was just plain Fantastic!
Best motorcycle channel on CZcams !!
As a Southern US Citizen, I do love your style. Thanks for your work on these vids.
I picked up something I had really not thought about... periodic brake hose changes. They've always LOOKED good, but the insides you can't see. An danggit... just changed the brake fluid too.
Very well done and original approach to delivering much appreciated information. Thank you!
The TW is definitely in my top 3, if not my favorite bike..

Great vid as always Geoffrey. I have seen way too many chains break. It takes 5 minutes to check, and lube it. At the very least once a week is all it needs.
Depends on your distances... for me that total is before I get to a city and back twice.
So I give it a quick once over after every ride.
Awesome material, and I adore your style, it has so much love for life in it! Keep it up!

Every single video of yours is a beautiful gem!
They are so over creative, I love them!!
I'm just so consistently impressed by the quality of these videos, keep it up!
Great video as usual!
I've had several of these things happen to me. The scariest was a chain braking at 100kms/h (62mph) with my girlfriend in the back. We were lucky, but it broke a few things on the bike. Also had a chain jumping off mid corner and froze the wheel. Lucky i was only in first gear. A bit of a slide, but nothing else.
On another bike i had a wheel bearing that completely destroyed itself. Again no fall, but had to call a tow truck.
Brakes failed because of a bad bleed nipple... doing 20.. Ok again. Throttle actuated as i pulled the clutch.. I could go on..
Guess i'm just lucky
Negligent at times. The bad bearing was on a new (to me) bike. The bleed nipple was brand new.
The rest was negligence. But hey.. most things happened more than 20 years ago when i was 19 to 21.
I'd say unlucky.
Maybe don’t do your own maintenance hehe b
You rode a lot of clapped bikes as a young man. Which honestly is probably true of many young men. Certainly was true for me.
1:15 lol I lost it that "uegh" sound was funny as hell
Quick note on side stands. They can kill. I was once riding a rented Harley, pulling out of a parking lot when a guy pulled up next to me and kept pointing at my bike. Good thing I paid attention to him, he probably saved my life. The bike had gone into gear with the side stand down and I had managed to pull away without noticing. Next left turn would have gone badly...
Spooky TW200!
lol :D
When there is a tw you always their ! Gotcha saw your vids on your channel !
Hi, I'm from Thailand and I can confirm that death headlight and taillight are the most cause of the motorcycle accident.
It always amazes me how many people I see riding with no lights around Thailand.
Rachakorn Sirijarukul Are you sure? I would say that being drunk , sending text messages or drinking your iced coffee cause more accidents...😅
@@user-jl9to6zh1q I could agree with all you said, but the key to your own safety on the motorbike is to be visible, riding according to the rule and responsible for your own equipment first.
Great video as always! Amazing work!!
I've been riding for awhile now and still run my CRF45O at the track. I have never,ever hear or seen anyone checking sag on the front forks of a bike. Check sag at the rear swingarm. The spring back there can be adjusted to stiffen or loosen depending on rider weight.
So this was your Halloween episode? A great episode, as always!
