10 Motorcycle Life Hacks 

What strange hacks do you use that I missed?

Used the helmet as a basket trick.....got off jail yesterday

I like to clean the first sprocket with my sleeve while engine is running and in 6th gear.

Please don’t service your chain while your bike is running in 1st gear! I lost ja part of my thumb because I was shortly distracted and the chain pulled my finger into the rear sprocket. Please don’t do it! No matter how cautious your are !

Throw it on the floor a few times, so the next time you drop it you won't feel so bad.

Spray chain from inside, that way you know centrifugal force will help spread out the wax

I used to use the kerosene trick in the 1970’s and still do. It’s a fantastic and bike-friendly cleaner and won’t leach grease out like many other products. It’s also good if you have a reservoir on your water blaster. Leaves a nice shine and acts as a release agent for road grime. Pretty effective on brake pad dust too.

Careful with the 1st tip, you don't want to put heavy items in your helmet because it could damage the EPS liner :)

I’m in the military and I used the hat trick with my uniform cover, rated up to 105 mph so far!

Never lube your chain with the engine running it's too dangerous

Never never never service your chain with the engine running. You might do it ten times with no problem, the eleventh time you grab a rag, just to wipe off a little excess chain wax and say goodbye to your fingers. Do it on your own risk, but don't promote this shit to others. Btw your swing arm already got some bad scratches from your 'hacks'.

Helmet tripod, that's a nice hack. But PLS don't do the other things. Don't EVER do anything with the chain while it's running. It's stupid and dangerous!

I always mount a spare garage door remote control under a fairing or seat, then solder wires from the switch on the remote to a momentary switch mounted in the front fairing or side body panel. It looks cool and is very functional.

you must never turn the wheel with a gear because it is very dangerous I am a mechanic and a friend of mine is cutting his finger as his

Hat trick is good up to 200+ mph. allegedly 🤣

For the bolts life hack, I highly recommend a magnetic tray or container of some kind. Holds them and will keep them where you put them.

Stick a couple of bits of Velcro to your tank and you can attach your gloves when you stop ,saves them blowing off the seat.

If you use the recommended gear oil to lube the chain it’s very easy to apply with an old tooth brush and you don’t need to have the wheel moving whilst applying it. Just fill the bristles of the tooth brush and it’ll be enough to do 1/4 of the chain, then just move the wheel around to do the next section. Remember your not really lubricating the chain, your only preventing corrosion to the links so no need to lather it everywhere, just a nice thin coat over the links.

Best place for machine screws ... back in the holes they came from ;-)

Diesel fuel works great too for cleaning chains. Pretty much same as kerosene. Also when living your chain make sure its warm. The lube penetrates much better on a warm chain vs a cold one.

"There is always bound to be a bike that avoids your entire tool collection" 😂😂

0:42 thanks for the 4k wallpaper. and thank you so much for that helmet tripod idea.

With my note 9 I don't have to use a timer. Just push the button on my pen and it takes pictures. That's why I got the phone lol

School hack for bikers What you'll need: -A helmet -A phone -Bluetooth in ear headphones (Airpods or so) -Long hair What you'll have to do: -Put your phone in the visir like shown in the video -Take the headphones, put them in your ear and make your hair hide it -Start Netflix and enjoy School Greetings from Germany 😂🤞

He had a camera mount on the speedometer. 🤣 This guy’s sense of humor is awesome.

it's actually really hard to tell if it's ironic or not and that makes it 100x better

OOoooor you know you can strap your helmet or your backpack and shop like a normal person

2:50 you joking with hat gopro mount blocking the speedo right?

The one with the gummed up front sprocket is what I do as well. That stuff surely increases wear on the chain. Weird that no one, apart from you ever mentions it.

1st hack might lead you to trouble man. Could be mistaken by some people that you're shoplifting

Always enjoy your vids mate! Come to America bro... Lol

I did the helmet basket thing and parafin as a chain cleaner since years ago hahaha... cheers mate! and that helmet as a phone stand to take pic is awesome!

Love these hack videos👌🏻

Never occurred to me to use the helmet as a tripod. Hahaha.. that is a good one... Cheers!

a friend of mine almost lost his thumb because he was cleaning his chain with the bike on and his young nephew on the bike. The bike was on center stand and his nephew accidentally stepped on the shifter which crushed his thumb.

The thumbnail was the best one

Interesting ...!! Keep 'em coming.

Is this video a wind up? I don't normally write comments on videos, and certainly not as long as this, but some of this needs to be questioned... Sorry for being that guy... 1. I was always told by my instructors to put helmet on by pulling the chin guard as pressure on the straps can damage the lid... I never even carry it by them... let alone load em up 2. Not sure about this... I would check the load rating of the bolts your using. If they snap you'll wish you paid for proper kit. I never use a jet wash (dont see the point and like spending time with my biies) but if you do, make sure you re-grease and never fire it closely to any bearings (wheels, yolks, etc) 3. Just no. It's gonna slip and you'll mess up your fork legs, or worse, the bolt... get the right tool... you'll use it again. Someone else may be able to confirm, but I would guess torque values would be off if using this method when doing back up? 4. Like it! 5. Nope. Scratch bike much? Helmet as a beer opener, c'mon. Also, who takes a beer from fridge to bike without opening it? Beers don't mix with bikes. 6. No. Hell no. You wanna loose fingers... cause that's how you loose fingers. No. Stoppit. 7. Forgot to get a container..? Go get one and carry on. Unless you only have 3 bolts to take off... then how about a pocket?? 8. Nice. 9. Service your bike properly. As others have said, check the chain type and sensitivity to the cleaner. Front cover tip is spot on. Sorry to be so critical, I liked the video shots and edit, but just don't agree with some of these hacks. Ride safe everyone 😁👍

1st tip is a bad one. I used to put everything in my helmet and it scatched the inside screen like its been sanded down xD

Always a treat to watch your videos. They are so relatable!

When you run it in gear to lube your chain, make sure you don't forget to put your kickstand back down before taking it off the stand. I did that once... still have the scratches to prove it.

Glad I’m not the only one who does the cap hack

For the Allen key tip, I sure a spark plug socket, fits perfectly in there

"Even despite her drinking problem" I laughed hard on that.

ride safe always brothrer thanks for the info

I have been doing that with my hat for years. Except turn it the other way so the wind doesn't blow it out lol

I like your video but don’t agree with the bottle opener at least for beer. You should never drink when you ride ( Open The Throttle Not The Bottle )

I don't even own a motorcycle, let alone a motorcycle license, but I found this very informative 👍

many of these i already used... still work great... thnx buddy for show those idea to evyone...

Hilarious video, had me giggling like a school girl! As a mechanic your hacks were something that I assumed everyone knew. But sadly this is not the case. Don't fully agree with your chain cleaning, but at least you said a disclaimer. So I just wanted to add a tiny bit of safety advise. Please make sure that the bolt you use is a "Hardened steel bolt" of at least Grade 8/Grade G. Not just any old bolt that will fit into the hole. This will be much safer lifting your bike and keeping it secure and safe on your swing arm stand. Because as you said, we all have a love affair with our motorcycle and I'm sure we'll do anything to protect it!

Everyone probably knows but Wd40 is amazing for getting oil and brake dust off your rims and rubbing a pencil (graphite not a kids colouring pencil)😂 on your bike key when it’s a bit sticky in the ignition

Good job !!! Very interesting hacks

hahaha every time you say big ass Allen key I crack LOL

I always have a cap the opposite way than pictured in the video and I’ve gone 160+ like that haha

Your R1 is a beauty mate!

Great video thank you for sharing

I really like you're video's mate. Keep them comming.

For the allen key one, try just using two smaller allen keys that add up to the same size as the big one would be.

The video was pretty good but the first hack can easily be bad for the safety of your helmet, cause it compresses the eps foam in your helmet which is necessary for your safety

I really like your content and tips. Your videos are of quality and enjoyable to watch. Keep up the good work!

Awesome Vid once again

Hey bud I see you are in jhb, I like your style well done

Just fit a scottoiler to the chain. My old CBR daily went eight years with only one adjustment required. Keeps the chain clean too. The only thing I miss about my old Goldwing is that it swallowed all equipment so you didn't have to carry all your stuff about. Got the weekly shop in it too. The other 98% of the time it was a heavy PITA! And NEVER use your helmet as a basket. There's nothing to stop items from deforming the inner foam or scratching the visor. Its as bad as dropping the helmet.

Good clues there man. Thanks a lot. Greeting from Colombia

Nice bro cheers for them!

Helmet camera hack was the best!!✌️

“Kerosene will not destroy your O rings” WAT DID HE JUST SAID?

Great video, subbed.

Hilarious...the beer and the intimacy..hahaha, I love the nut/hex key hack.

These are terrible. Now I know why the level of squids continues to increase exponentially....

I put 170km/h with my cap this way. He never flies. Another way to put, is in the oposite side. The cap will stay hold between your body and the stripe.

Perfect!!!

cool hacks buddy! love them

I would like to add that if u put too heavy an item into the helmet can affect the eps foam by compressing it and decreasing its efficiency

I did what you need for yrs , lubricants onto the chain , ,in the video your spraying the stuff in the wrong places, the only place it needs putting is on the inside were the teeth of the sprockets make contact with the rollers , think about how much lube you will save and how little will flick off on ur bike Cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧

🤣🤣 man!! You just gained a subscriber! Awesome content

0:17 yeah like you can fit that on your motorcycle😂

You owe me a new cap.

Awesome video bro😊🙌

I have z1000sx with side boxes which fits 2 helmet and you can take them off in a second, shopping is never a problem for me, the box fits 20 bottles of beer also

I got a r1 when i put the stand on i turn it on in neutral and the back wheel spins slower and its also safer any forse put on the wheel will stop it from rolling

good work good advice brother

Good ideas. Thanks for sharing

Apply chain wax/lube inside, and never ever put the keys in the ignition.

No, thank you to give as this great tips. Fortunately, I don't have problems with my hair, because I don't have 😂😂 so I keep with another nine tips 😁 big hug my friend

Good tips 👍

Simple, fun and helpful.
