Decent human being alert... Sold the guy a bike, he raw dogs it and smokes the clutch(pretty sure he knew what he did), instead of telling him he had to deal with it on his own, he helps him fix it and teaches him repair and maintenance in the process. Strong Matthew McConaughey vibes. Great video bro.
@@Residew as a mechanic like guy in the video, selling a guy his first bike, you know he's likely to burn up a clutch, especially if its got decent use on it already.
Great video, all I can say is this passage popped into my head “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime". He will forever remember you and now he has the basic knowledge to fix his bike. Great video and respect.
You know I don’t have a father , uncle, or older brother who could help me if my motorcycle had a failed clutch. The world needs more people like you !
Get some gear, some gloves that protect your palms of the hand, and some pants Wich are able to skid along the asphalt, and a jacket to also take the asphalt. You don't want your skin to be used as a block of cheese along the asphalt if you fall down. Try. Sprint as fast as you can in your shorts and try to skid with your knees and see. No don't do that. Ride safe, and educate yourself to be a better rider. And also learn the mechs by watching others, and videos here and it will give you a good feeling like ur better than the people that call a Mech to change a sparkplug. That's embarrassing as a man. ;) much love. Come by and say hello..
This video showed me that being kind like this could really go a long way. Having someone there to work on these things like that makes for a decent experience.
I have to admit you are one straight up dude. I have dealt with a lot of people and I have not met very many people that have your ethic. Kudos to you, brother, you are honestly and truly a biker of the first degree.
In a world where all our actions 'need' to be justified with monetary gain, this is refreshing. From a self taught wrencher with no father, thanks for bein a decent human and helping a fellow biker feel welcome in our community.
You are a GOOD man sir! I might have let the owner do more of the work (as I carefully supervised) but then it would have taken longer! Hats off to you again brother!
You're one nice guy. Well done, we say here in Ireland, "What goes round comes round, and you did a lovely thing in sorting out his bike, reward does come back in other ways. Top class video, too. Well done. A big hello and cheers from us here in Ireland.
Man, what a great video and thing you did for him! Teaching how to do it and all. The motorcycle community has so many good folks in it and this is a shining example of just that.
Respect bro. I just stumbled across the channel. Not only do I love watching dirtbike repair videos but I buy and flip too, I thought that was awesome for the culture.
I always feel bitter from the times I've been burned and had terrible buying experiences from. thankful we have youtube to reminded me that there are still some amazing people out there. good to see people helping eachother out.
Ryan! As a long time follower and Ryca owner, I've chatted with you on the phone and your kindness and time were above and beyond and that's clearly still shining today. As a Savage Guru, your time and efforts were super stand up with this buyer. You truly are a good guy and lead by example. I hope you see this because I thank you for you.
GOOD TO SEE PEOPLE LIKE YOU, PREPARED TO GIVE OTHERS THE BENEFIT OF DOUBT AND DO THE CORRECT WAY. I WAS BROUGHT UP THIS WAY AND I CAN CONFIRM WE ARE A RARE BREED. BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN GOOD COMES TO THE SURFACE, PERFECT.
Very nice of you to help the guy out like that. Made a new friend, he will never forget you! I think a lot of people would have told the buyer to take the motorcycle to motorcycle mechanic or dealership. He would have had to pay no telling how much money and would not have got the cam chain tensioner mod most likely. The world needs more people like you! 😊
You did the right thing. Aspiring motorcycle owner here. But making good on anything you do, is a moral and ethical obligation. Big ups to you. We don’t do it for payback. But I hope it comes back to you in spades💯
Wonderful to see someone with a great heart. Not to many people would have done what you did, this shows that there are decent people out there. The buyer was blessed that he bought the motorcycle from you.
This is still how every day in some parts of the country where tradition hasnt been stomped out that folks who arent glued to their phone still treat one another
You went above and beyond and with a great attitude. The guy seemed very sincere and basically admitted to possibly burning out the clutch. Either way, you handled it great. I sold an antique bike to a modern bike rider. It was his first antique bike. I even delivered it 3 hours away for free. I showed him how to start it and ride it and gave him a three page rundown of maintenance tips and specs. We went for a ride, him on his new bike from me and me on my bike and I was shocked at how hard he was on the bike in all ways. I stopped him mid-ride and AGAIN warned him that this is not a new bike and needs to be treated gingerly and carefully until he learned it. He just was closed off to a new learning experience. While I was driving home the 3 hours, I called a friend and told them about this experience and we wondered how long until he broke the bike. Well, about a month later I get a long email from the buyer saying it’s broken and he brought it to a shop and they recommended rebuilding the entire engine. He wanted me to pay 1/2! I told him what I thought it was (a valve or pushrod issue from pushing the engine beyond its limits by an inexperienced rider), and that’s what needs to be looked at first, but the engine did not need a “full rebuild” and I’m not paying anything. If he were closer I would have taken it back to look at it, but 3 hours, and an “as is” purchase? No way. Turns out I was correct, but he wanted a full rebuild, so he paid for a full rebuild. Sometimes, you want to help, but that’s why that sentence is in the bill of sale.
We need more people like him in this world. He not only help him fix the burnt clutch but helped him modify a fail point. Good stuff. You got my sub now.
Couldn’t have asked for a better seller, and a better buyer. I love how he was really watching everything you did, and trying to learn the most that he can. Two awesome people in this world
Absolutely the right thing to do. You feel better, he feels better. He'll also consider using you to service it (if you do such things), and he'd not hesitate to buy another bike off of you or recommend you to friends & family. Win /win situation. Plus you can all sleep well at night as all conciouses are clear. Well done
A new clutch pak and timing chain tensioner mod. Luckily he bought the bike from a true human being. No you didn't have to go to that extent, but you did. That's the road less traveled.
You did what you are supposed to do plus a lot (custom work, knowledge and mechanical confidence). Should you really be extraordinary or should this type of care/service be the norm and shame on people that don’t do this? I bet that guy won’t ever forget that day. Kudos to you friend!
Cheap used bike, naw. This is way above and beyond. Though I'd personally feel compelled to help a guy I just sold a bike if he didn't have a garage space by at least lending mine and a hand. Otherwise It's the risk with older bikes, That clutch could've gone on him before he sold it. I had one of my bikes that was ridding just fine suddenly need a clutch just recently, pulled it in the garage after a ride no signs it was anything but good to go thousands of miles then next went to ride it and no good. It happens. It's great to lend a hand when you can but it shouldn't be expected. Remember these things are trading hands often for close to or less than what the bill at a real shop would have been for the work done. People can't expect a warranty on stuff that costs less than a warranty.
@@chublez u and I differ in our perspectives but I respect it. We are a small group, us bikeriders. I agree it is great to lend a hand. It should be expected though because of what we have in common…that’s why we 2-finger-down acknowledge one another. Especially if the seller truly is caught off guard with the news. There’s too much shadiness in the marketplace and we deal with squid missiles. Not too many fender benders when we crash. Again, I respect ur perspective. Thanks for replying to my post. I forgot I ever said anything. Be safe brada!
If decent person a dealer/flipper of bikes then doing right thing of fixing bike and taking time to show buyer shows that people can trust you as seller and they trust your word and buy other stuff from you
so nice to see the buyer and seller working together to fix the problem instead of blaming each other, it could be the clutch was just ready to go, or it could be the new owner smoked a good clutch, the world may never know
immediatly subscribed, since you helped the guy out and you even teached him how to do repairs when it will break down again. brother is a real one with motoroil in his veins instead of blood.
fantastic, helped the guy a lot showing him all this and helped me and a lot of other people watching it too. would be useful if you clipped the repair part and posted a separate video as "suzuki s40 clutch repair and mod" or something so that other people searching for a fix can find this and benefit from it too. or just a youtube short "suzuki s40 clutch job" where you have the intro and quick preview of the repair, with a link to the full video here so people can find it better
Good on you. It's ALWAYS okay to just be cool and help someone out. Especially a new rider. You probably just ensured this dude so keep riding and remembering how you did him a solid. It's an easy job so why not help the dude out and even better teaching him about the machine while you're at it.
Man thts what the world needs more of, people like u helping other people out. Like u said u didnt have to. U got a subscribe from me for being a great person. 🤘🙏
You're a good dude, bro. The world of motorcycles needs a lot more of your kind. At the end of the video you could tell that man was so glad he has a friend in the motorcycle business! New Sub. 👍👍😁😁
I think you’re a really nice guy to do to do that for him. Because technically, you’re not responsible. It’s an old bike, but when someone buys it as is, it’s as his period.
I didnt intend to watch the whole video, but it was a feel good one. Ty for being a man of your word. A lot of positive vibes from you and the client. I would do the same if I was in your shoes as well. Stay blessed.
Good on you mate, definitely the right thing to do but you went above and beyond by teaching the bloke, I hope he stays safe on his new bike. All the best to both of you.
This is the first video I watched from your channel and I couldn't like and subscribe fast enough. You are a stand up dude. There are damn few left. God bless you brother. Thank you for the video.
You’re an awesome guy! We (society) need people like you to make things right. I hope that young man understands what you did for him because not a lot of people will do that. You enjoy your day and may this act be testament to the man that lies within you… Thanks!
You made a great choice! Wish there were more people like you. Going the other way could have turned that young man off from motorcycles as well as people.
