That's our BOY!!! 👊✊
He killed it. :)
Never let that soulful white boy go
"You don't want it too tight, you don't want it too loose, and you certainly don't want it dry." 😂😂
We need that on a shirt!
@@jcedeno117that is actually mental yeah perfect quote😂😂
I've been following Zack and Ari since the olden days. I love their content, and I love seeing them and Ryan Fortnine pop up randomly other channels.
No matter where Ari goes, he makes me feel like I don’t care for my chain enough.
Check your chain every 2nd tank.. I almost threw up. I can't even think the last time I checked it.. 😅
Belt drive FTW
I had to pause to go oil my chain I got so ashamed
#cleanchainsquad
@@dancotton3199pqq😊😅😅😢😮😂😂😂
Im surprised that sandro wasnt in this as an expert he literally does everything
He’s not a motorcycle guy
He'd be a motorcycle guy for The Boys
Gotta give him a day off every once in a while 😂
Sandro is taking over the channel they are just being careful and trying to keep the man down lol
He's ridin dirty in a shitbox wit da boiss
I worked at Suzuki dealership and a guy got his girlfriend to buy him a brand new GSX-R 600. He did a diy license plate delete and relocated it in front of the rear tire. He should have checked to see what he was screwing into with his drywall screws. Right through the ECU and into the battery. One of my favorite things that happened working in that shop.
That is impressively stupid. Wow. Drywall screws too......yep, impressive. o__o
Why mount it at that point? The cops will still ticket you for it not being visible, may as well just carry it in your backpack or just leave it at home and don't stop when you see flashing lights behind you.
@@maxatrillionfatstacks Or just pay a few dollars for a proper plate mount for the specific bike.
lmao.
Wow that’s… no words. lol
Ari on Donut!? Let's go!!! Love the motorcycle content and Revzilla collaboration!
Bring Ari more often and do more motorcycle vids.
You mean moretorcycle vids.
🤣🤣
As a paramedic, I dread calls where a motorcycle is involved in a crash. On the way, while arranging everything for a major trauma in the ambulance, I just keep saying to myself "please don't be a corpse".
I've had a customer bring their motorcycle into the shop complaining that his bike just quit, turned out it was out of gas. Another customer was proud of himself that he spent all winter putting braided stainless on his entire wiring harness but did nothing about the tiny sharp stainless wires poking into the harness. His complaint was every time he honked the horn his bike quit (he's lucky that's all that happened)
You wouldn’t believe (or maybe you would) the amount of Harleys that got towed to my shop and the only thing wrong was a dead key fob battery.
Ari's videos helped me *not* do shoddy work on my Yamaha. Props for great instructional content,
Dude's given me the confidence to do maintenance myself that I would've just taken to a shop before.
@@aniyn - I'd do the simple maintenance myself as well if I wouldn't be to lazy due to bashplate and crashbars having to come off for the oil change, etc. XD
The R1 with the disintegrated air filter, that was a BMC brand filter. I see it often with that brand. The plastic they use around the outer frame of the filter does NOT hold up to heat long. This happens after the filter gets more than a couple years old. And Ari is 100% correct about checking the tank A, #1, first thing.
it was R6 not R1
At last someone with actual bike knowledge 😂@marcello6365
I don't think Ari has ever had any formal mechanics training but damn he knows his stuff. Watched him for years both breaking down stuff for us simpletons and doing amazing improvised roadside repairs. Such a great contributor to the motorcycling community.
He grew up on the track, keeping his stuff working through a weekend of racing on a regular basis. Nothing prepares you better than that.
@@TwoWheeledBooBear Well, having theoretical knowledge is a lot more important than practical knowledge. Sure, you can fix stuff, but knowing the reason why it failed, knowing why you have to repair a certain way etc. is more important than practical knowledge. You can teach a child how to open up an engine, it doesn't mean that they can understand how to open it.
Ofcourse, though, theoretical knowledge is no good on it's own. Some people just can use tools and that's fine. There should be a balance.
Ari is a legend. Always learn when he’s around.
I love Ari!. It’s always fun to watch him fix things on those big trips.
I'm loving Ari. I don't ride motorcycles. I always wanted to. I'm a car guy, for sure, but I love and respect bikes and bikers. Ari's outlook, attitude, reactions, etc... is awesome! I'll be looking up Revzilla next
their cross country videos are soo good!!
CTXP are the four letters you need to know.
@@peterdeptula3628 cheers. I'll look it up.
10:29
I've had a similar screw get stuck in between my swing arm assembly and the engine casing and it actually pushed a hole through my engine compartment and dumped the oil under the rear wheel. Fun times
Yeah looks like this one busted the case too.
My mother has an old Kawasaki motorcycle that's been sitting derelict for well over 30 years at this point. When I was a kid she wanted to fix it and both me and my older sibling at various points in our lives thought of maybe trying to fix it with the intent of learning to ride. These videos have reminded me that that would be an undertaking requiring far more effort and expense than we could probably handle.
Sounds like a fun project. And if it is for fun, a great learning opportunity. Go for it.
@JoshuaTootell well, the problem is that literally everyone in my immediate family has some combination of clinical depression and/or ADHD so the motorcycle would get dissassembled and then left strewn about the garage.
@@ZevVeli I think that's not at all uncommon with people riding motorbikes - as two-wheeled motion is a known favorite in ADHD circles. Why? Because riding them is involved and focussing - as in, you get loads of signals that get you back on track, focussed on the issue at hand; speaking for myself, if I make the daily trip to work any other way, I often spend my time either worrying about the work day, or contemplating some aspect of my private life that may very will interfere with work throughout the day. If I go on bike, I spend that time thinking about nothing else, except riding the bike.
And honestly, fixing a motorcycle is great exercise for your skills. Don't trust yourself having torqued each bolt when installing something? Mark them with a pen right after you tightened them. Afraid of spraying all the little parts all over your garage? Get clear ziploc-freezer bags beforehand and mark them. Also, find the "parts explosion" drawings for your specific bike, which are undoubtedly available and will detail every little washer, nut and spring. Losing track of the overall goal, as in "getting the bike ready for mom's birthday"? Define and prioritize subgoals, such as "safety equipment (brakes, tires, suspension) > drivetrain (engine, chain) > electrics > body". And if you can't rely on anyone else in your family to do parts of the work, a motorbike restauration (as long as you're not talking concourse level) is very much a doable project for one guy, if you put in regular hours, and do the effort beforehand to set you up for an organized project!
8:30 you arent wrong about maintenance! Not quite the same thing but the surface grinder at my old work my boss had been filling with 5w30, instead of proper machine oil. When the chain-traverse finally gave up the ghost the sprocket was essentially the shape of a blunt circular saw
Edit: per your point around 15:30 - you are indeed unfortunately correct, this was how I lost my best friend in 2019. Chain snapped and bunch of knock-on effects took him off.
RIP Matt ❤ never forgotten brother
Seeing Ari’s face light up at 6:21 made my day. Great video, thanks guys!
I really like hearing Ari talk about bikes, lots of knowledge and no bs!
It's good to see Jer doing bike stuff. You can tell it makes him happy!
Fr. My thoughts exactly
Sees a new real mechanic stuff video: clicks
Sees Ari: **CLICKS FASTER**
I work in gas fired heating industry and ceramic failures on the electrodes like that spark plug are rare but do happen. Pretty harmless and funny problem 😂😂😂
14:00 Hey, sometimes you just have to ride to the parts shop with a sponge as an airfilter, because the old one got ripped to shreds by a backfire. And then they don't have stock airfilters for your bike, because you ride a 24 year old import. So you try to cut a filter from bulk filter material, and it rides like shit, so you switch back to sponge and ride home and wait for the stock filter you ordered a week ago.
Two of my favorite CZcamsrs in the same video! I thought it would never happen! Fire it up!
Zach and Ari are both great guests. More of them, please
The CTXP show is one of my favorite finds on CZcams. Fun to see Ari here.
FortNine (Ryan F9) and CTXP hands down the best motorcycle contents. I love the Motorcycle Magazine channel when Ari and Zack was on there. I still rewatch their old stuff.
Do more of this content as a motorcyclist this is great stuff !
"you don't want it too tight, you don't want it too loose and you certainly don't want it dry" 😅😂
Speaking the truth lol
I see Ari, I click.
Ari and Zack on donut is a dream come true
Working at a motorcycle shop for less then a year and I already seen the craziest and most outrageous bikes and dangerous
"Ari is a better mechanic in the worst condition than most of us in the best condition"
Ari and Zack are awesome hosts and you should do some more colab stuff with Revzilla!!
haha love this jerry - Ari combo. Would love to see it again!
"If you're not confident, leave it to a professional"
That's the problem, they're all *very* confident!
I used to build drag carts, and against the advice of everyone, dude in the shop decided he needed to take his engine for a run **now**. Skipped installing a chain guard, put in a used master link, on a cart running about 12hp engine with a triple disk bully. That link snapped and slapped that chain into his arm almost to the bone. Wrapped around his bicep like a whip.
Chains. Are. Dangerous.
Love the motorcycle videos 👍🏽 keep it up guys and your wierd sponsor videos 😂
That second one is absolutely criminal. If someone let's you borrow their bike, you don't fuck with it
8:02 on the front Sprocket ware one, I have seen that happen to a buddy on the first outing after replacing his sprocket because his chain was too loose and and after a 6 hour day at the moto park it was thrashed again, so in addition to long time negligence, immediate derping and doing the dumb with improper tension will also cause this
Ari rules. Zack is on top of a mountain freezing his nads off and Ari's in the studio watching Tik Tok - nice :-D
WE LOVE ARI AND ZACH
I LOVE ARI! Thanks for bringing him on the show, do it again please!
Ari was an awesome feature! You can tell he's super knowledgeable and makes for a great fit. More!
I was asked by a customer who had a deep cut on his tyre "is it better to glue it with rubber glue because super glue won't flex as much and may crack" Least he put some thought into problem.
Any video with Motorcycles & Ari, deserves 11 stars😁
I've been watching donut enthusiastically without even expecting motorcycle video. me being an avid motorcyclist, i love Revzilla and fortnine and other such god moto-tubers, seeing motorcycle stuff frequently on here is so nice. love you guys. :)❤️
6:34 what about that bent rim??? 😂
ooof. I didn't notice that. Yikes!
Optical illusion
partnering with Revzilla was genius. Fortnine would be another great move
2 moto videos in a few weeks! What? Is it finally happening?😂😂 so awesome that you all had first Zach and now ari on here. I also think that it was a very good choice to have Jeremiah on as you can tell his passion and knowledge of them. Nothing against jobe at all as he does good videos, just you can tell Jeremiah is a bike guy with passion for them. He’s only been talking about making bike videos for like years now
I've seen the ratcheting bolt head happen on a Harley Road Glide. Totally freak happenstance. Luckily, we were just riding locally so we could just send someone to get their trailer and we had his bike back to his place in a couple hours.
aren't they belt driven?
Love seeing Ari and Zach on here. Perfect fit for this
The clip with the muffler bolted to the rear swingarm. That’s where the invention of the muffler bearing came from. Hard part to locate.😂😂
Hell yes ari henning!!!! Yall answered my prayers after zack courts. Awesome stuff
Ari is funny af 😂 bring him back!
"See how this exhaust isn't attached to it? That's *by design*." LOL
I skip the in video adds for most channels I watch, but yours are always so entertaining I actually watch them.
"Check the simple things"
While in school, Gave a Lava lamp to engineering class. The Lamp would light but the lava would not heat. They spent 2 weeks, took the think apart and back together and couldn't figure it out. My little sister looked it over. LEB Blob won't heat the lava. They were all embarrassed. The professor loved it.
Need more Ari henning reaction videos
I am so here for Donut to be doing even more motorcycle content. Having really good enthusiasts on this channel makes me love it all the more 🤟🤟🏍️🏍️
11:21 I have had that happen...though not with a bike. Plug went bad in my car's engine ('96 Neon, at the time) and came apart that same way--porcelain came free of the metal. You would not _believe_ the racket that thing made. Total loss of compression in that cylinder, too.
Ari is a legend❤
Angelina should have been on this video.
She’s probably not a motorcycle expert bro
I don't watch a lot of motorcycle related vids, but "swingarm exhaust mount" grabbed my attention right away! lmfao
8:38 That's not a sprocket anymore, it's a bearing.
Ari is a top dude!
6:40 a bolt through the swing arm ain't that bad. I didn't know a rear axle nut come loose on my KX 125.
About an hour later I noticed my rear wheel was kinda crooked. The brake rotor bolts cut 1/3 the way through my swing arm. I tightened everything up and went right back to riding.
Over 5yrs of riding, jumping and crashing and never had a problem with that swing arm. I did end up totaling the bike but that was from a tree, actually the rear swing arm was the only thing that didn't break/bend.
Was your exhaust bolted to it though?
@@troyhutson538 No, but who needs an exhaust anyways. Why can only douchebag Harley riders get to be annoying and cause Tinnitus in every single person within a 2 mile radius.
I'm just joking, except for annoying Harley riders.
6:37 you guys totally missed the back wheel is bent. 😂😂😂
My buddies first motorcycle was a "steampunk" junkyard bike with a skateboard for a pully and a bunch of trash as components, i was honestly surprised it ran at all let alone as smoth as it did
we want to see more stuff with you guys and Ari! love to see it!
Hearing you guys talking about the chain whip injuries makes me glad I have a driveshaft on my bike.
Nah, he used a master chain link which is just bad hack work, huge no-no. Always use an endless chain ... period. If they're too lazy to take the wheel off to put a new chain on, they shouldn't be riding or working on them.
Awesome, one of the best collaborations so far!
My chain popped while riding home from work one day, I pulled the clutch as soon as I heard it go.
I love that you guys are doing colabs on motorcycles with the guys from Revzilla. I would love too see you guys bring in the Gray Fox and other personalities from over there! Keep doing this awesome content!
“He can ride it fast which is even cooler” 💀💀 this channel is great
You guys actually got Ari! That's awesome!
Love seeing Ari on this channel
Love these motorcycle videos with Revzilla team
Nice to see the Donut uniform in use. Gold chain and a straight bill mandatory 😂
Glad to see both the revzilla guys!
I've learned a lot from Ari's videos on motorcycle maintenance. His videos are great.
Love these videos. Keep putting out the motorcycle content!
Heck yeah Ari too! Great team ups happening! Love it!
In 1999 I built a dump platform for a paper company. This platform was made to dump wood chips out of semi trailers. We poured the concrete pit and built the platform but the union wouldn't let us do the plumbing of the hydraulics to dump it. After the plumbing was done, I went back to touch up the paint and do a final inspection and my surprise they had hooked all the piping to the bottom of the platform! It took me about an hour to decide to go tell the plant manager or just let them try to dump it! I told the plant manager.
Hi Ari,
It is cool that you have come to this show, since i have lost track of where you guys were now.
Looking forward to see your shows.
Ari is a legend. Love that guy!
When he said it sat for ten years, my first thought was mice.
Love these Mechanics Reacts videos. So good!
Ari rocks! Love this collab
Very informative vid loved this one
Like this guy, knows what he talks about, no nonsense 🤟🏼👍
Also, thank you about the quick chain tensioning recap
I love how you guys plug the sponsors, instead of just making it boring. Like every CZcamsr ever
"...Thats by design😏"
😂😂😂 brilliant
I have a nice 150 scooter right now. This video makes me happier with it because I don't have half of those issues to worry about
"it is not going to yield, everything else will" is the summary of my inner voice that keeps proving itself wrong
Being a chef is to be an alchemist. Cooking food is the easy part.
i love these collabs keep it up
More more more of this please!
Also “Cars are pain, Bikes are death?”
Donut Media may just be the only channel I never skip sponsored segments for. They’re always gold.
Hell yeah lets see some more Ari Henning!
16:00 the reason why a towel snaps at the end is because the end to the towel reaches speeds that break the sound barrier, that's why it "snaps" at the end so yea a chain will do a whole lat of hurt at those speeds
