RevZilla I just replaced my starter & starter relay solenoid, checking wires & fuses. My 01 ZX9R is trying to start up whenever I touch the positive cable to the battery🤯it does it with the key in the off position, relay connected or disconnected, start switch on or off. Out of ideas, please help

How to prep your motorcycle for spring.. Live in Texas and never stop riding 🙂
Andrew Gisler 😃🌞
how often do you change fuel filters ?
Nooo, I`m not jealous...AT ALL XD
Or California
Man this is usually true but this years winter was killer in DFW. Compared to last year where it was sunny and hot year round, the weather was actually cold for a long period of time.
Finally, an excellent video covering ALL the needed items to check without pushing the "best of" any specific part or brand. Total thumbs up on this guys. Great video 👍
Maybe I'm wrong ....but they just sprayed chain lube all over the rear tyre (3.35) besides that it was great
@@TheK1ylo They're lubing the chain the easiest way you can if doing it solo imo. If you have another person, you can have them rotate the tire as you hold a piece of cardboard behind the chain so you don't get it on the tire or the rim.
@@L_C_3027 only seeing this reply .maybe it's easier for me with a single sided swing arm.... but I'm able to wedge cardboard ,spray and turn wheel all at once by myself.
@@TheK1ylo I feel bad for you
The real question is, is Spring prepped for my bike?
If anyone wants to learn about Jesus Christ reply
Nice

Perfect timing!!! I was looking for a checklist before my road trip coming up, thanks!
Be sure to check your tires ALL THE WAY AROUND!
Two years ago I knew it was nearly time for new tires, but I still had plenty of tread left...except for one spot where a defect in the rear tire had left it worn down nearly to the steel belts. I never noticed the bad spot, it was never in a visible place when I checked my tires, and one day it blew out on me. Fortunately this was a "learning experience", but it could have just as easily been a horrific crash.
Wow, that trick to lubricate the clutch cable is very nice! lifesaver last time i spilled oil on the whole floor;)
In Upstate NY this check list is very useful. We also need a checklist to put the bike up for the winter. Thank you!
This made me so excited for riding season!
In Snowland, also prep the driveway all winter ! First real sunny day of spring yesterday with a balmy 8 Celsius predicted in the afternnoon. Spend the morning prepping the bike (thanks Revzilla) and open the garage door to a short, but uphill packed snow driveway now a sheet of ice, glistening and wet under the sun. Aaaargh ! The de-icing salt is at work but the opportunity was wasted. I'm keeping a track to the asphalt next year ! Live and learn...
Got my appt to get a set of pirelli diablos I got off of you guys for tomorrow, its riding season in the Commonwealth!
Awesome info
Going to see a bike this coming weekend. I really feel its going to be hard not buying it, since I get so much amazing tips from this channel!
Great job Sperg! Love this!
Excellent video ! Sadly there is so much salt still on our roads i'll need a good hard rain before i attempt to ride.
thanks awesome guide video i gonne check her :) greets from netherlands
great video. Lots of good points here.
Get a float charger and you'll have no issues. Unlike a basic trickle charger which constantly delivers a very low current, a float charger monitors the battery as it self discharges and delivers enough current to “top it off” without over charging and causing the electrolyte to boil off.
What about the 10 other steps? 😂
I got my bike out a week ago. First thing for me was reinstalling battey. Then I rode over to a gas station and added air to the tires. Then I was ready to go.
I’ve been waiting for this video!
Thanks, this is helpful for a beginner
Finally riding again!! I'm moving to somewhere with less rain in the next year and then can ride all year!!!
my spring checklist: check tire pressure, ride
I KNEW IT !...Spurg is one of Nicholson's offspring....i'll be staying from Colorado for a while now! Great post you guys :)
Check the tire DOT date code on the side wall. Tires are considered old after five years. The four numbers in the DOT code represent a two digit week of the year they were manufactured and a two digit year ( i.e. 1420 is the 14th week of 2020, or, first part of April 2020). I personally do not ride on tires that exceed this date ever!
I am going with Tomac because I think he is going after race wins because he wants to catch Reed, Carmichael and Stewart before the seasons over for all time wins. He will get Reed but he's 5 from tying RC4 and 7 from tying JS7. If he has a chance to win I think he will push as much as he can.
..Important stuff...I'll do my mountain bike tune up, but hope to afford motorcycle things some day....
What about the brake hoses manual says to change every two years is that really necessary?
Went to go check out the check list and I think the image layers are off? We can only see parts of the check list as much of it is blocked out by white.
So old batteries in old bikes can be replaced with smaller ones now?
Spurge...what hair product do you use?
Can this be considered essential travel?
No! Where is the t-shirt?
Didnt know there was a riding season
Oil filter? What's that?
Lol hibernation. -10 out and I was still riding to work every day.
what tires are you on? i'm not afraid of the cold, i'm afraid of the cold tires!
There's something wrong with the checklist. The white ray lines are on-top of the words. Cant read it.
I would do this, if I had space to do it.
I'm one of those poor bastards who have to have a shop always do this stuff, due to not having a yard or a garage to do this stuff in. it pisses me off because knowing how to do this kind of maintenance regular maintenance can save tons of money AND helps you become familiar with your bike/car/truck/etc.
And please... For the love... If you have a carbureted bike, clear the float bowl(s) if it doesn't start up the first few times. I've found that nobody remembers to clear them before winter. Also! You'll probably need a carb clean... See you soon!
How do you actually check your bearings once you have the bike up on the stand?
wiggle the wheel. grab it 3-9 wiggle it back and forth and feel for play, then grab it 12-6 and repeat
Thanks @@gwot I watched another video to get the procedure. Just thought I'd point it out to the fellas so maybe they would add it to this otherwise excellent video.
Should oil be changed in spring or before winter storage?
Why would you store a bike for months with dirty oil?
I don't understand why the check list is suppose to hang on the wall of the garage, when my bikes live in the house, with me?
Frame it and put it up right next to the bike in the living room then haha! -DrewZilla
Ha Ha,,, same hear in Israel, riding all year round!!!
is it okay to use wd40 to lubricate clutch/throttle cable
No. Unless they are rusted and you like to live on the edge :-)
Do i need to lube the elektric wire from my ride by wire?
Yes also change your blinker fluid
Only if you're low on blinker fluid. -DrewZilla

how often replace fuel filters ?
Google your model of bike and find a forum. Everything you will ever need to know will be there.
If its electric just tighten the chain and take the ice screws out of the tires.
Is it odd that i have 6500 miles on my ninja 300, and the chain has never needed adjustment? It's possible it was done at 3500miles during service.
Check your chain slack. I'm sure it must be a little loose by now
I’ll be doing this when I’m healed up from my arm surgery
Hope your recovery is speedy!
BloodySinner thanks I had carpal tunnel surgery and elbow surgery last week and I’m looking at like 4 months till I’m near normal ☹️
Riding season? What are you talking about?
@2:50 what stand is that?
Nevermind

What if you ride all year long?
You'll still need to perform your periodic maintenance based on the schedule in your owner's manual. -DrewZilla
Man he packing on the ibs ain't he
Please make a video on full face helmet under $200 for 2019
Bell qualifier that was my first helmet couldn't recommend it more
@@MisterCheemf just one more question what's the difference between a AGV K3 and K1
@@rohitbauri5958 I wouldn't know. Sorry bud
Scorpion exo r420 hands down. Less expensive and DOT and SNELL certified. Comes in come cool graphics too. Check it out.
K3 has internal visor, K1 doesn't.
nooobs i ride mine all day every day, not kiding happilly where i live the weather is mildly good, not too cold on the winter, bought my cb250 nighthawk 2 months ago made 2000kms since, nice bike great for the street, confortable for long trips, reliable and economic, its a honda ;)
Annual state inspection? WTH is this madness?
Oh boy no kidding!
Riding season? What the heck is that?
That bike they showed while talking about tires needs its chain cleaned BAD!
Thanks but I think I found the wrong video
Imagine not being able to ride all year, it's almost as crazy as living in a place that doesn't allow lanesplitting!
joetca hello fellow Canadian
I’m in Chicago, and I find one day a month during the winter to go ride. Riding in 30 degree weather is an experience. Spring is close though. My KTM is ready.
Does anyone actually do almost anything of this list? Been riding for almost 10 years and besides chain maintenance and oil change I've never ran into any problems. Lol
This could have been a much better video if you had even just quickly explained HOW to actually do these checks
“Riding season”
Florida riders don't prep for spring. We ride all year long.

Sperg look totally different.
Spurg got fat this winter!!

Perfect timing!!! I was looking for a checklist before my road trip coming up, thanks!
