I hope this helps gives you all the confidence to start vinyl wrapping! I wasn't as confident as I am now, but it took a lot practice, trial, and error! If you're patient and willing to learn, this video is for you. I covered the basics and some more advanced techniques. For all my professional Vinyl Wrappers out there, please add some feedback in the comments section not only for me, but for others who are wanting the knowledge.

Sorry they're not time stamped yet! I will work on doing that unless of course someone wants to help me out? Thanks!
Still no stamps :-P
@@krazed0451 you’re right, I’m sorry. Just hired some people to help me, so I will get on it soon!
@@adobomoto It's all good, was just poking fun. Thanks for the videos, they've been very helpful :-)
Still no stamps 😂
Still no stamps we are sitting here forgotten :)
As a female who has no experience with wrapping, this video has gave me confidence to believe I can. I had an accident in November and am looking for ways to get even more excited about riding. Thank you!
Why feel the need to announce your gender?
I've been debating on wrapping my bike, but never found the right video and this was exactly the type of video I was looking for. Excellent video, thanks for the upload!
Noah Owens i’ve wrapped a ton of bikes over the years and everytime i post it up in one of the facebook groups i always get asked to do it, work for them, or what i charge. Knowledge is free..i hope im able to give give you the confidence in getting started! I enjoy it man and i hope you get the same enjoyment that i do! One thing i ask, if you do end up liking it and even get really good at it, pass on the skill to someone who might ask you for help down the road. Thanks so much for the comment!
@@adobomoto your videos have defintely made me decide to try and wrap. I always talk myself out of doing things such as this because I have no idea what I'm getting into, most videos I've seen just show a before and after, with very little "process". Thanks for sharing the knowledge, you have good content and I can defintely see the passion in what you upload. Keep it up man, and be safe out there!
Dude what a great set of videos on how to do all of this. I literally thought it was so much harder to do, but after watching your videos I feel totally confident in wrapping my KTM 390 duke in carbon fiber. Appreciate all the great work and time you put into this. Props to you man.
Amen brother. Be patient. And you are a very patient and detailed man. I notice how you choose to level of "correctness" to maintain the patient approach. Much admiration for your way of doing things. I hope I can be as awesome. Thanks for sharing this so cleverly too. You didn't cut out all the traps...you allow us your opinions. Thanks man.
PS: "Wrap video" LOL. and I'm finally getting the Filipino reference. Love adobo!
I'm just seeing this now 6/22 but I am definitely going to wrap my motorcycle when it's fixed up. You're video made me believe I could do it! Thanks so much for putting the 2 videos up!
Why didn’t you show us the end product
Come on man
4 videos above this!
I’m going to try to wrap my bike because of this video
Thanks man! Am about to start on my next project bike and I was hesitant about wrapping it but after watching your video I have a little more confidence. Thanks 🙏
Heard what you said at the end of this video I just got my first bike a few months back and it had quite a bit and sever body damage to it so I actually have a whole new firing kit comeing in soon and i am for sure gonna wrap it. But I want to say that your videos are very helpful cause they aren't rushed 15 mins vids it's you showing it in a way as if I was there and it will I believe help me in my process wrapping my bike
Alexander Martinez thanks for the love! Dm me some pics on instagram!
Amazing and very educational. Thank you for the information and instructions. I can't wait to wrap my Scooter.
Thanks so much! I hope it helps!
Bro your videos are great, original, and fun, continue doing what you’re doing with your own twist on things and you’ll become BIG keep the daily/weekly uploads and keep making those sick edits bro
Daniel Moon you don’t know how motivating these words are to me. Bikelife saved me man. The experiences i’ve had throughout the years of riding is what you see in my videos. They’re genuine. I used to start my videos with the motto - bikes, life, laughs. As you may already know, the moto community as a whole are just a different breed. The majority of us are some of the most humble and loving people. Unfortunately there are those one or two haters. I try to avoid contact, but sometimes the hate gets to me. But reading comments like this truly motivate me to keep going. I was obsessed with getting big before but honestly i’m starting to understand that getting big is not as important as helping those who actually take the time to watch my videos and give me a chance. This year i’ll be sharing some of the knowledge and experience i’ve gained over the years of riding. Again, thank you so much for making my day.. love you brother!
Dude, thanks for doing these videos! I've learned more from watching you than just about anything else on youtube. I'm going to be doing my Vulcan S tank and fenders this weekend and thanks to you I know I'll do a better job than I would have otherwise.
tonkaslim thanks for the comment man! You’re gonna kill it. Even if you don’t, you can always try again!
how did it go?
It was a little long but I appreciate the effort you put in and the extent of detail. Thanks...you're a good teacher. I just got a bike and want to make a fairing first....then I will get to this step ...thanks again
This is dope and glad to see another Washingtonian
I stumbled upon your video after many hours of watching how to wrap before getting to my r1. I see that you live next to me too. I would definitely pay you to wrap my r1
Thank you for your very detailed video, Im gonna wrap my gsxr now :)
Thanks for showing the finished bike.
3rd video after this. czcams.com/video/dHkjfkSaAio/video.html
Very good video, I'm inspired to tap wrap my bike myself. Wish me luck.
dcardenas171 you’ll do great man!
Great useful video dude. I have just bought desert camo for my triumph tiger 955i. I'm gonna put up a video soon once I have done it using your method. Cheers for the indepth explanation it as helped me loads
The bald hungry Bikers hell yeah man! I love comments like these! Glad i’ll be able to help you with these videos. Have fun!
Your tutorials are awesome. Ive done my first wrap on my husband's vespa wheel arch panel. Its a terrible job and an absolutely horrendous shape to do. Im beginning to think it cant be done in one piece....really struggling with it but learning as i go. Thanks for all the time you spend on these videos !!! 😎
Wrap job looks awesome!! Such a crazy amount of detail you've got to think of as you go along. The windows on the tank had me nervous 😂 patience gets you a long way though from the looks of it. Great walkthrough!!
MotoKari haha, i was nervous too. I told myself if this doesn’t come out good, no one’s gonna take my advice seriously 😂
This was great. I'm going wrap my electric scooter. Thanks so much for making this. Curious to see your sick final product!
And that’s a Wrap! no pun intended😅 great video! I’m wrapping mine now.
Really good 2 videos pal, you do a great job. Now I want my 1400 Ninja turned the same blue, lol.
peter vinnicombe thanks!! Have a buddy wanting me to help wrap his busa the same blue as well haha. I always loved the blue s1000rr...when i got the M, i knew i would mimic that bike!
@@adobomoto come over to UK, you can wrap mine,lol. Its expensive to have done here.
I started wrapping my KTM 1290 gt today. What a pain lol. But also satisfying
Awesome job on the videos dude. Very well done and inspiring!!
Thank you.
Bill Korol thanks a lot man! Hope it helps you!
Great job kid loved it
I'd like to see you wrap the R6 in that Cherry Red vinyl! 👍🏽😉👍🏽 not the entire bike just the Tank, front mask, & the Grey part of the side fairings!
Thank you for the video. Planning on wrapping my bike soon!!
First time wish me luck. I dont have IG :(
You’re a patient man. Thanks for great tutorial video mate👍
The bike i’m looking at is the Yamaha r7, but the tail end fairings are one solid piece (don’t have that divet you tucked the edge into) which seems difficult to wrap as it’s kinda two sided and smooth
I definitely plan on wrapping mine 😍 hopefully it looks as good as yours
thank you dre, enjoy your ADOBO!
Good job
Andrew Jackson thanks man! Your name 😂😂
Video was great thanx
great work
🤩
Cool video..very in depth. I'm definitely gonna try this..thanks dude
laderrick Knight hell yeah! Lmk how it goes!
@@adobomoto will do
Great, informative video. Thank you for all the effort you put into making this.
great job
Love the two videos, thanks for doing this
This gave me the confidence to try myself, how would you tackle air vents like front of a Gsxr750
@Adobo Moto, I am wrapping my bike because of this. just can't decide on a colour scheme.
Thanks for the vid. I want to wrap my 16 zx10r.
dwayne smith nice! Do it! Don’t be afraid to do it in pieces if you have to
great job bro!
What a great tutorial! Thanks a million buddy, and drive safe :)
Zombieman youre welcome!
Well done mate. Nicely done, cheers
Tony Walters thanks so much! Hope it helps you!
This video is beyond amazing👌🏾
Couldn't have come at a better time, I bought 5x12 of carbon fibre vvivid for my bike and probably trashed half of it out of frustration at this point. Luckily my naked bike doesn't have fairings so I can hopefully finish the entire bike with the remainder.
Daniel you’ll be fine. Also wouldn’t worry too much about perfection. That’s the beauty of vinyl wrap. Easy to apply, easy to take off and change. Sure - paint is nice and clean, but vinyl is more versatile!
When I get this done, i'll send some pics. Tank is curvy AF, more than one inlay at more than one angle. Becoming zen master in the freezing cold. @@adobomoto
Very well done, bro. Thanks for the thorough videos. I live right across those bridges at the end of your video! Glad to see another Pinoy rider in my area.
Keep up the great videos bro! Sinigang is better than adobo!!
the dog in the background on the couch waiting for something to happen...
Overlay than cutting fits perfekt
Thank you for your videos bro iam a wrap my fz1 probably next year once all this covid 19 crap is over
How big of a roll do you normally buy to wrap your bike?
Great video bud. 🤟🏼
Thanks for the detailed video, but where are the pictures of the finished bike? I looked everywhere!
czcams.com/video/dHkjfkSaAio/video.html
Adobo_moto on ig
Amazing job, really. And you hardly used the squeegees.
Do you seal it in anyway afterword or is it not needed? this was amazing thank u for the 2 part series it helps so much.
Just post heat like crazy. No need to seal
@@adobomoto ty 🦾🙌
Do you heat every area or just the creases, some people show that they heat the whole sheet and pull as they place. You don't what are the pros and cons of both technices?
cynthia peters i wanted my layers to be thick and i feel like if i don’t have to heat and stretch why waste time with an extra step. Haven’t had any cons doing it this way
Keep up the good work brother your killing the views on the first part of this demonstration for dummies...
Stephen Roark-Rogers thanks man!
Love this video
Dang, wanted to see more view of the finish, and if you add decals or anything.
Adobo, Like your video's! Am going to be wrapping my BMW K100RS this spring, with carbon fiber wrap. Right now I am trying to learn to use the stuff by wrapping my helmet. It's not going well!! So far I have pulled the wrap off three times, and started over. And at this point I am only running a strip down the center of the helmet! It keeps bunching up to the point where I can't chase the fingers out of it! Been trying to come up with a way of holding the helmet, so that I can use both hands to stretch the wrap! Do you have a video wrapping a helmet??
Thomas Edgerton use the knife less tape. It’s hard to stretch the fingers out if you wrap and start with a strip. You need room to stretch the fingers past the point of the fingers forming. Once you have them flattened out and formed, heat it up really good. Then pull the string out to create your strip down the center. I’m working on another tips video, i’ll touch onto this and a lot of other questions i’ve been getting. You definitely don’t want to cut out a strip before laying it down if the surface you’re wrapping is curved - like your helmet.
You make it look so easy, not sure if this Vvivid wrap is just shitty or if I’m just not cut out for wrapping.
Avery supreme is what i was using in this video. Vivvid is very difficult to work with on motorcycles because it’s a very stiff vinyl
Man did you do the front fender fairing on any bike ever? Maybe I haven't seen it yet in your video(s) but MY GOD I'm trying to do that now on my R6, it's so hard. I'm ghetto-ing along with multiple pieces and knifeless tape :( and the knifeless tape (3M) sucks! Like it doesn't start cutting, the cut string line itself breaks off and I have to go fishing for it etc
It’s hard for sure. Helps if you mount it onto something first, but still pretty difficult. You can get a clean 3 piece job on it and not burn yourself out. That’s what i would recommend. Do two on the sides then one up top last.
Approximately how much wrap did you buy for your bike? I'm thinking of wrapping my 2020 kawa ninja 400, and your two videos have made me feel pretty confident. I've worked with vinyl before but it was more diy shenanigans. Thanks so much for you wonderful videos!
Man, I’m so frustrated with two of the pieces I’m trying to wrap and I need your help, BAD
I am very curious about where to start in general. Is there a general rule to where to start on a part?
Or in this case should you always start where there is a "hole" i.e where those vents are on the tank?
Also I wonder if you have like a pyramid shaped part is it possible to wrap it in one piece or do you have to use multiple pieces to wrap it?
You're tutorial is greately apriciated but i did'nt get the two piece technic.
Wonder why use two pieces if it can be done with only one ?
Thanks again
G D one piece takes more time and a little more skill. I showed how to do it for those who don’t want to spend the extra time or don’t have the confidence to do a one piece.
@@adobomoto
Thank you. Well apriciated.
G D hope it helps you! Pass on the knowledge!
just watched both parts plus your tips video and i have to say THANK YOU!!!! i am a first time wrapper and thought it was a lot harder than what you make it look like...you definitely give newbies confidence...i do want to ask though, can isopropyl alcohol be used to clean the plastics and can you use a hair dryer instead of buying a heat gun? i'm hoping to do the gas tank on my FZ07 over the off season...also, any experience with VviVid wrap?...they have a lime green that i absolutely love!...thanks again from Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Oh, one more question, how much extra do you order?...for example if the area to be wrapped is say 2' x 2', would you order 3' x 3' or more?
I would do double or triple the amount you need. I’d spring for a cheap heat gun..they’re better than hair dryers and you can get one for under $20. I like vvivid vinyl. They’s sponsoring my ducati vinyl wrap series that’s currently on going. Been on vacation but episode 4 will be up soon so check out episodes 1-3 while you’re at it. Episode 4 is the tank wrap.
How do you take the yamaha badge off on the tank? :/
What is the color you’ve used for wrapping? It is amazing. I finally saw someone that uses that color as my helmet and suite have exactly the same.
Thx for your reply
great video ,if you use a heat , you should not have to make as many cuts , the vinyl will relax right out
Thanks for the vid
is it hard to remove the wrap once it's on?
does it leave behind a bunch of messy adhesive?
Teague jelinek pretty easy to remove. You can heat and peel or just peel. I use goo gone to get rid of the residue. There isn’t much that gets left behind.
Thanks for these videos. Feel better about wrapping the tail section of my bike. I've done a few full sets of MX graphics so feel I've got a bit of a base to work from.
One question though. I will have soft luggage going over the tail section often so planned on using 3m protective film on top of the wrap.
Know of any issues with doing this?
How would you wrap an entire motorcycle rim? Plenty of vids on doing car rims, but bike rims need both sides wrapped...
Jesse Wagner i’ve thought about this. Drop the rims, take off the rotors. Wrap both sides the same way they wrap car rims.
Jesse Wagner i’ve thought about this. Drop the rims, take off the rotors. Wrap both sides the same way they wrap car rims.
question, i'm thinking about wrapping my tank on an '81 yamaha xj500, pretty simple tank :) but wanted to put a design, could i do multiple layers with vinyl to also do the design? like a circle and a pinstripe?
Zachary Ryan Art you can. For the circle i would cut it out prior to laying it down!
@@adobomoto ok thanks so much! I was thinking the same :)
Thanks for the tutorial, man. I'm about to wrap for the first time on my 03 sv650s, which has some wicked grooves in the front cowling that I think will be a challenge. I noticed you didn't use much, if any tools in pressing the vinyl, is there high risk in using squeegees and rollers to get in those nooks, etc? Does it mark up the vinyl? Also, idk if you ever mentioned what vinyl you used, or if maybe you didn't mention on purpose..
Jesse Wagner i used avery sw900 in this video. Their vinyl is really plyable and easy to work with. Just be patient if you’re using tools, but i would suggest maybe vinyl wrapping gloves.
@@adobomoto what color code was this specific vinyl
Is vinyl safe for the paint? Or is there a chance that it will damage the paint if I want to remove the wrap a few years later?
How did u get of the Yamaha logos off the tank covers?
Max S credit card, id, dental floss. Pick one lol
@@adobomoto thanks
I kept them on while wrapping and cut arround
On the fz 09 there are no grooves underneath so I would not find the exact place again once it's wrapped
If you charged someone to wrap a bike, how much is a fair price to do it?
Hey mate how are ya? Great video, I’ve also got an R1. My question is how did you get the R1M writing/letters on the side fairing? I’ve noticed on one of your other videos that you’ve got it on on the bike side fairing after the vinyl was done. Cheers from Australia 💪🏼
You can order the oem vinyl stickers. I bought a carbon fiber vinyl r1m decal from ebay.
Hey man! Any extra tips for wrapping that tail piece? I'm going to start mine tomorrow.
Max Yardley use as much vinyl as you can. If you’re going for one piece Start at the bottom.
Stuck on the bolt holes ughhh 3rd times the charm
Brother I'm going to do a one piece wrap on my r15 tank.......the gloss carbon fiber wrap.......any tips you would give me before I start
PS :- wrapped a lot of stuff but a motorcycle tank is the first time I'm doing.......keep you posted on my channel
Gloss carbon is really hard to mold in one piece. But i think it’s doable on the r1 tank. Get help, pre-heat it and stretch it out and pull down together from the top
@@adobomoto sure brother......thanks for the help......means alot
Ck wraps just did a tank this last week. Check it out man, it’s a really good tutorial
@@adobomoto sure brother i have learned alot from your videos and ck wraps videos........will see that video now and the only problem here with me is that the knifeless tapes costs a fortune here......so I have to cut it by hand......will try and keep you posted through this comment or on instagram. .......thanks alot
Bro... how did you take off the tank and the Yamaha emblem... I dont want to break anything. Thanks in advance
You can use dental floss. But i used my driver’s license lol
Used a flat head screwdriver. Thanks bro.
Where you get you vinyl where I get it greets
could i use this method with chrome ?
Marcos Ramos really learn to use the knifeless tape with chrome. You’ll have to do a lot of overlays.
@@adobomoto I agree, multiple cuts are the only way to do chrome. Of course, you could do it the same way, but when you stretch chrome, it loses it's shine and gives it a cloudy look.
How do u take the badge off the tank?
NishyMusic dental floss
@@adobomoto I'm not sure whether you're joking or not 😭😂 will give that a go anyways 👍
NishyMusic i’m not. You can find videos on youtube on taking badges off lol
let me start off by saying, great job, thanks for doing a good job in explaining how to wrap, BUT LORD, whyyyy did you not show us the finished product? like a visual of the entire bike! i watched part 1 & 2 and I was expecting to see the finished priduct, and its just so frustrating, i feel like i watched the worst ending to a movie ever lol
frank vannonh lol, it’s the 3rd video after this one
Why not show the finished bike?
J slice Jimbimbo i did in the thank you for 500 video
When I tried this, every time the vinyl creased it left a permanent crease mark that can't be worked out (even if you take the vinyl off and try to stretch it). Is this normal? I don't get how it is possible to install without tons of permanent crease marks. Did I just buy crappy unusable vinyl?
I’d blame the vinyl. Buy avery supreme
What’s the name of the red thin tape you use on the tank you used to make the clean cut ?
Knifeless tape
its WrapCut - much more cheaper than 3M
Four days, probably take me 14
U gaine a sub from me gray tutorial been wanting to do mine I had a lil mishap were someone cut me off and some parts got scratched but I think if I sand it down to smooth should be fine I have a cbr also what’s the tape you got to cut off I want to do 2 different colors so I want to use that tape
Stylez80Nine thanks! It’s called 3m knifeless tape
Stylez80Nine don’t use the one i used in this video
Adobo Moto whats ok so anyone but the one?
Stylez80Nine 3m knifeless tape is what u want
Great video man I’m definitely thinking of wrapping my 4c8 after watching this il let you know if I do.
Awesome man!
C2sss%. Jboiljehv ee? Wbjuu
How do you get the fenders off with that vinyl on ?
Snapback_BR i unmount em first and then pick like 1 or two bolts to mount back on so when i go to wrap, i’ll wrap with the fairings on, then take the two bolts off to finish the job. Does that make sense?
Adobo Moto yes gotcha. Cuz I’m about to wrap some fairings on my grom. First wrap job so this should be interesting lol
Snapback_BR just hmu if you get hung up. Should be pretty easy! Take your time
Adobo Moto thanks man. My wrap is coming in the mail. It’s still freezing in NY so idk if I’ll be able to do it when it gets here 😩 I can’t wait for riding season already
Snapback_BR oh damn! Im gonna be in nyc mid march..hope it wont be that cold!
Do you only wrap bikes?
I can wrap anything. Cars are super easy
Finished product? Do we get to see the bike
2 videos after this
if you had glove it takes the half time
I have two...no, it doesn’t.
What do u think about Avery
Joseph Bolle that’s what im using in this video
Awesome I thought so my bike is wrapped in a metalic green the guy that did it was a complete jurk so I dnt wanna go back to him for my seat cowl he won't even tell me the brand or color and the Avery metalic green looks like my bike so I was gonna try my hand at my new seat cowl thanks for all your help your videos rock
