Very thorough and straightforward presentation! It is bemusing to hear the current boffins rediscover what was common knowledge in the '60s, for example, the café gas tanks had indentations at the front to accommodate clipons. In jolly England we referred to your strange "triple tree" as the fork yoke. A final point re ace bars of which you showed a brief image. In England these are still available with the U bracket in different lengths, so that the rider could choose his degree of forward bias. Finally, most of the images of the ace bar show an incorrect weld: the stubs should NOT be welded onto the ends of the U, but at least an inch back from the end. It's a matter of strength. Rule Britannia!
Thank you so much for posting this video, I just used a similar system for adjusting my 1982 Honda Xl 250r rear brake, it now stops like a nun walking into a brothel.
Thanks a bunch. That was very helpful for me to fix my Qlink Ranger. These days, I now fix my bike myself saving up to 90% cost on visiting a mechanic.
Have another adjustment to make so that the brake light activates on mine. My pedal was hanging really low, adjusted it so it was more level with the peg and the brake light stopped working, luckily there was another adjuster 😎
I have a yamaha 2003 don't know what kind of engine but I do know is that there is 11,000 miles and its practically still good condition what would need to be changed/maintenance?
Little note some bikes have a very strong spring as the return mechanism usually located behind the rear brake pedal. If it goes missing or snaps off the first thing you'll notice is the rear brake pedal will feel spongy as the spring on the adjuster at the end of the bar will be acting as a sort of return but will not be as effective although you should still have a braking effect.
Thank you!!! I am new to bikes and have my 1st. I changed the rear breaks and adjusted the bolt on the spring to no avail. You’re video helped me fix it.
omgawd . i know i did all these tasks (just bled hydraulic clutch/brake after watching a reminder video) about 35 years ago ... regularly . but it's been sooo long . thank you so much for this!
I dropped my chain twice on my Suzuki GSX 1100, it simply pulled it apart...apparently it's somehow able to pull it apart. Since then I've always riveted my chains, never had that problem since. Works fine with a clip for smaller bikes; for bigger ones - forget it!
@@RiderForge 😅😅 I mean if we being honest most people get bikes that look nice and are reliable due to what it’s worth, don’t think this company is making any true money from selling these bikes cuz they don’t look good and may be worth far more then the reliability
@@RiderForge I would never pay that for a bike yeah it looks cool but you can literally mod 10k bike and make it look 1000x better then that bland ass pos
