Like to ride your motorcycle? Don't like things slowing you down? Well have I got some good news for you! Seems like more and more Royal Enfield 650s are suffering from brake failures, typically in the rear, due to air getting into the ABS system. What I'm kind of "happy" about, if you can...

If you read my other thread, My Harley is dumb and fun to ride... Just like your mom, I bought a Harley-Davidson Sportster Iron 1200 not because I'm some uneducated Sportster douche who thinks it's actually a good motorcycle. No sir, not me. I am a thoroughly educated Sportster douche, who knows...

My BMW G650GS wouldn't start today. Multimeter said the lithium battery had 1.8v. Fuuuuuuuu...n. Now I'm wondering if it was the battery that failed me, or if I failed the battery... because in truth, I left stuff plugged in that I normally wouldn't. It went like this: Lithium battery -->...

About a month ago I bought a 2019 Harley-Davidson Iron 1200. We do a lot of two up riding so I had to buy a two-up seat for it, because rear seat sold separately, and this started a domino effect of mods: If you buy a two-up seat you'll also need passenger pegs, because also sold separately...

I did my first ever resonator delete mod. I really like it, and it costs only about $50-60 CAD, which is perfect because I'm cheap AF! haha On the BMW F750GS, the resonator box is located between the catalytic converter and the muffler. It's about an 8 lb box that silences the sound and helps...

Does anyone have any personal experience with these chinese made handheld welders from Temu and the like? Not my video, I just like how succinct it is: Do I need a welder? No. Could I have used one in the past when my trailer fenders started crapping out left and right? Yup. Am I looking...

I think I may have finally gotten good enough at changing tires to make a video showing others how to do it... or maybe not, we'll see :rolleyes: So here's my how to change a Yamaha Tracer rear tire video, which includes: 1) How to remove wheel from motorcycle 2) How to remove old tire from...

Hey all, need the help of wiser folk if you can spare a few minutes. Q1: Is this tube tire too big? Tire is an 80-100/19. This is the tube I was sold: Q2: How tight should the little nut that goes around the valve stem be? Tight AF? Just snug? Q3: No *pop!* *pop!* sound of the bead seating...

Inspired by @TK4 sending me a picture of himself in a speedo.

A lot of motorcyclists (and would-be Vespa owners) don't seem to realize that you can totally ride a Vespa on the 401... specifically, one of the GTS250 or GTS300 models, probably not most of the smaller ones. It's less of a "can you do it?" kind of issue and more of a "should you do it?" kind...

Last night I bought a (mag wheel) Triumph Bonneville from a first time rider. Nice guy, didn't know too much about his bike. He had a new front tire put on by the Triumph dealer where he lives. For some reason they put a Bridgestone Battlax S22. Seems like a more sport oriented tire. Weird, but...

Recently got gifted a neglected 09 Ninja 250 that's been sitting in storage for a couple years (only 15k km ish). Popped a battery in, no turning over, just a *click* sound whenever I hit the starter. Battery voltage good, all fuses good, hmm... I took out the starter relay on advice from a...

15 years ago, as a 20 year old, I travelled across Italy by bus with my dad on a tour he put on for students. I told him one day I'd redo our trip, but on a motorcycle. We got home, dad got sick, a few years later he passed away, I started a career, or two, bought and did some renos on a house...

I upgraded from the OEM wheels to forged ones by MOS Motor, out of Taiwan. In this video, I talk about the differences between forged and cast wheels (rims, whatever), how each are made differently, and why forged wheels can make your ride quicker, smoother, better handling, and even give you...

EDIT: Looks like there was a price change I did not previously see Looking to ship my motorcycle to Italy to ride across the country this spring. These are the top 3 options that I found. Could you please give any advice/share any relevant experiences to help me decide? I want to pull the...

Did the title sound like a sales pitch much? haha In this video I'm covering seven of the things that determine a motorcycle battery's lifespan, and how to maximize it. Four of these battery lifespan influences are completely in your control, and the other three are good to know before you...

A couple months ago my G650GS cut out while I was riding and left me stranded. No power to anything whatsoever. It was as if someone disconnected the battery or a main fuse burst. Naturally I checked the fuses (all good), checked the connection at the terminals (tight, clean), checked the...

The Akrapovic slip on exhaust for the BMW F700GS and F800GS is an excellent performance exhaust if you like silence, and dislike having money. In this video I show you how to remove the stock BMW F700GS / F800GS exhaust, how to install the Akrapovic slip on exhaust, take it for a test ride, a...

I got an OBDPROG Moto 100 'universal' motorcycle diagnostic scan tool sent to me to review. It works on Honda, Yamaha, BMW, Triumph, KTM, and Ducati motorcycles. ====================== UPDATE: Here is my review featuring the 5 things I love about the OBDPROG Moto 100 and the 5 things I hate...

Hey all, I got a FREE, NEW set of rims sent to me to review. Sweet! As part of the review, I want to do the whole sha-bang ma-self (valve, tire mount, balance, install). So I'll be picking up a static balancing / manual tire balancer instead of taking it to a shop, because I want to show...
