DO NOT USE GRAPHITE IN YOUR LOCKS!!
i've worked for a locksmith and i'll tell you this, if water or oil gets into the lock cylinder in the future, the graphite turns into stone. and since this is a bike. it will happen
yes, graphite is used in locks BUT this is a lock cylinder that is outside.
use lock oil or another thin oil!
EDIT: just had someone come in today that had done this. and the graphite had turned into stone.
Victor Hangaas thanks, you need more likes so you get to the top of the comment sections so more people can see
Yeah, when he scraped graphite into the lock i cringed. There should be a lot of red flags already, if somebody is putting anything other than lock oil or similar oil products into their locks. In the end, i'd rather spend my money on lock oil rather than a new lock.
Also, if you're living in a cold climate, consider treating exposed metals with rust protection spray. I've noticed over the years than my brake disc bolts as well as a lot of other bolts have started to corrode. Or just upgrade to stainless bolts, if you got the money.
Xan Hede you should pick one wet lube for the lock and stick with it. If you pick wd40 only use wd40, but staw away from wd40 because it evaporates very quickly. There is a reason lock lock lubricant exists, ask a local locksmith!
You could zink plate bolts or get zink bolts
I use chain spray :D.
Geez, I was gonna say at the very least maybe use graphite spray.....
My wife married me knowing I'm a diesel mechanic.. she learnt to buy everything in black 😎🛠️
Unless I manage to hit 120kph in a parking garage... Challenge accepted.

Update?
@@mrspud8869 Ended up trading in a fast bike for a much more comfortable but much slower bike. Getting old sucks.
@@mose717you still riding bro?
The parking ticket hack is good. By my favourite is just bypassing the ramp, as usually there is enough space for a bike to slip by and parking the bike on a nondesignated parking spot, near a wall, pillar etc. where it's not occupying a parking space nor is it an obstacle to pedestrians.
The jokes about acting like an obsessed biker as if it's normal are genius
Top tip for sleepy go pro, rough up the mating surfaces of the plastic clips with sand paper. They're shiny and slide about, if they're rough they clamp together better without the need for over tightening delicate threads with a screw driver. 👍🏼
Or use carbon paste, which has abrasives in it
That look on your face at 3:42 was exactly how I reacted when my shift lever fell off my fairly new bike when I was pulling into my driveway. I went through and loctited every critical bolt on the bike that I could get to after that heart stopper.
That wad my face when i didnt notice that my abs was turned off
Had the same deal on my rear brake, filtered off the highway and found there to be no rear brake :( Luckily just a bold and rings lost, could have been worse.
😂😂🔥
That fuel cover cloth thing is GENIUS
lol i never pay for parking garages when on my bike because i fit through the gap and no one ever argued about it
Wait until you get into a parking garage that has cctv and guards...
isnt the gap for that?
Ohh so you're THAT guy ...
Once I wanted to buy a ticket with my bike and the guard took the ticket from me, telling that the gap is indeed for motorcyclists. Since then, I don't bother with the tickets anymore.
Leontief Modell no thats what the gap is for
Im really confused of why is your channel doesnt masively grow i mean your video are more useful than the other motovloggers like maxwrist who always just show off but doest teach you how to do the right way of using a motorcycle or even maintening it. Ive been your fan for years now. I wish that youll never stop teaching us this things thank you.
love your videos mate so underrated
keep going and you'll soon be big
I love this guy, can’t stop watching his videos.
5:19 tip 5, dismantle the go pro bracket and lightly sand the flat points of contact on the "fingers" of each section just enough to give a scuffed rough surface.
Reassemble...
Now there's no need to risk cracking the plastic by overtightening the bolt as suggested in this video.
😁👍
Best tip: dont wear your shoes in your house
We asians cannot relate on the first problem.. lol
Or get a thing called a floor mat. Wipe your feet and you’re done.
Here in finland u just dont use shoes in indoors and if u dare to walk to someones house with shoes u gonna atleast get yelled at
Older bikers probably will have slippers and get yelled at by their partner / spouse iif they dare to walk on the freshly vacuumed carpets on their outdoor shoes :-)

Keep it going man. First time viewer and I'm already subscribed! The comedy bits that you put into the videos make it really fun to watch, in addition to the very useful information. Great job! 👍
Very nice advice and video mate, well done!
Nice hacks and the sense of humor is brilliant! 👍
The way of approaching is extraordinary bro love all your videos😍🏍😇
You biker fan from India🏍💙
Another excellent video and commentary 😎🤙🏽
You just provided me with 2-3 ideas I have been wondering. 1st. is the refilling up of gas using cloth.
Nicely done bro!
Thanks for taking the request! I've been waiting for this!
🙌🏻
Well shoot and edited! Good job! Thanks for the tips!
love this video man
Useful info! Thanks bro!
Loved the ticket part!!
the info is great but the narrative it´s frkn awesome, thanks
Ok I had to pause 40 seconds in to write this... your production quality is amazing... those transitions! I’ve noticed it’s a big different than what you’ve been doing over the year and I’m enjoying it!!
Ok time to watch the rest of the video 😂
Thanks dude! It's my new camera toy: a gimbal
I just been inspired! Time to binge a new channel
5:27 my teacher waking me up during a test
Loctite tip. For bolts in places where you shouldn’t use Loctite (or other thread lockers) because they will damage the bike (plastics), craft rubber cement does the job of helping the bolt not work lose and easily comes off when you need it to. Plastic safe.
Great video buddy..keep exploring and dish out your crazy and lovable ideas ....excellent
That home made oil tray with built in pouring spout tickled my fancy as a combination of basic utility and ingenuity!😊
Lots of good ideas here. Thanks for sharing
You're crazy, love the channel, thanks for the tips❤😎
Naaaiiice bruski 🔥🤘🏼
Thanks brother. It is helpful 😊😊😊
Your vids keep getting better, CC! Love the humor in them as well 😆👍
Its truely help full mahn❤
When you started talking about your loose locking nut, had me in tears man hahahahaha
Good sense of humour bro! . The best part was the lose bolt 😂
Brilliant mate 👍
Nice video dude
I like the one for the fuel tank, with the cloth but also for the parking garage ticket. Another trick I have seen for the go pro mount is to use some 150 grit sand paper and just roughen up the the inner surfaces (teeth) of the mount so there is more friction.
Very nice. Thank you. 🙏🏿
What a great video dude🔥
Literally the most underrated motovlogger for me 🙌🔥
Thanks to those great tips. 😃
Instead of graphite; I use Rem-oil, a dry Teflon lubricant
Remington dry lube is the only lube I use. Period. Every application. Yes, even that.
Quality content, mate!
Great vedio bro.... Nice work,, and your Bike was so beautiful 😍
Good point about marking fasteners so you can see if they have loosened, I do that, especially after a major disassembly, the first ride after I am on the lookout for loosened bolts, my CR 250 r is vibration- y, so I stay alert.
Awesome video man... Thumbs up.....
Great vid, thanks :)
You earned a new subscriber
So refreshing
You are underrated, there are many things that I didn't know
I keep plenty of hand sanitizer in my garage for removing grease from hands and concrete floor.
Works great. Like your tips.
I wear gloves it works really good
nice vid man
Good shit bro...
I work for a company that produces and processes graphite. Graphite has a wide variety of uses, but lubricant is not one of them.
keep up bro ❤
"knife cupboard in the shape of murder." I wasn't expecting that. 😂🔪
You really deserve more subscribers. I wish I had people to recommend you too
Awesome broi
I have a KTM RC 390, it's battery cover plastic piece rattles a lot (it just clicks into the place, no screws holding it), so I wrapped some electrical tape around the tabs which click into place, it has been quiet since then.
Popped up in my feed, have a like and subscribe for the accent, makes me think of family memories and how things could have been with a small change in the world.
The drain pan from the oil jug is GENIUS!!
The last one with the wrench on allen key is good. I do that tip on wrenches when you just need that extra bit of oomph
Awesome man! I always seem to carry a power bank whenever I go for a ride. Just in case.
That oil drain pan trick is priceless...
Awesome tip for parking garages!
Cool tips 👍🏻 drive safe 👊🏼
amazing hacks man.
Very unusual but very useful tips
Really nice video please make a second part
Abstly stunning bro... ❤
I must admit, the cloth thing seems like a great idea. And for the allenkey thing, thats what ive been doing during my bike's rebuilding process. Some places are hard to reach and space is limited, so using the wrench and allenkey thing does help a lot. Which reminds me, i need to check on all my nuts and bolts if theyre all still tight.
Thank you
I use a bit set for extra leverage for the allen key. It has a convenient hex that will (almost) never slip unlike a spanner :)
That's definitely a better idea better but if you just have a basic tool setup this works too
Very good
Nice to see a south African biker with a youtube channel for a change
Your channel just got recommended! What a great channel! Dude are you from south Africa. Looks like jhb? And well sound like a South African. If so I am proud
You deserve 1M subs
I've used old oil containers the same for draining engine oil for years and then fill another container and take it to the recycling centre . Handy tips . Thanks
Same here. I put the oil in the bike, then empty the drain pan into the oil jug. Seal it up and take it to recycling.
Also if there is some new oil left over I put it into a separate container kept just for that purpose. Use that to top up oil between changes.
Amazingly good hacks.. Also awesome video editing skills..
your one funny guy ..love your vids
wow very helpful!
jesus how much loctite did you put on that caliper bolt? you only need a really small amount at the far end of the bolt
good tips👍
2:53 I have a crack in the exact spot on the exact part of my bike. Upper gauge surround. Was too careless when taking it off the first time.
Thanks for another helpful video 👍🏻
One adaptation I do instead of the white out is getting a nail polish color similar to my bike cover. (Dollar Tree is good for that) I also use it to mark my tools when living with fellow wrenchers:) Thanks for the vid!
My friend has a kickstart with pretty much no compression and it is so entertaining Watching him Get mad at his bike while i am warming up mine
Thank you for the hacks, didn't know oven cleaner worked so well on stubborn grease!
BTW , we have the same riding jacket! :-D
Dude, picturization is out of the world. Go for movie direction. Hahaha. Best wishes
Okay that thumbnail is great.
Great video, nice bike. I have read that graphite is corrosive to aluminum (or aluminium -haha) but can't confirm that. Instead of oven cleaner, I suggest Dawn dish soap. Works great on oil and grease. Keep on keepin' on, CC.
You have my respect for using the metric system
I would like to see polishing tricks for aluminum since there's 100 of them, electric wiring tricks, and machinist tricks. Them dudes are wizards I swear.
