    This is priceless. As someone who is passionate about the "Behind the scenes" in vehicles, and specifically in motorcycles, this is just a beautiful presentation. While not extremely detailed, you touched on all the important subjects. It was very fun to watch and see how everything corresponds with each other. I love how you ended the video with "I would like you to think. . . ", people like you (Thinkers!) Is what we need more of.
    Thank you!

    "even the simplistic animation will explain it" please do your self some justice. You made it easy to understand. Your sequential gearbox explanation was awesome and so much easier to understand than any other animated video. thank you.

    Ok bro....I'm in auto mechanic school and motorcycle school at the same time and this video helped me understand more about how things work than anything I've studied so far. Now, I will learn it much better eventually, but no one could do such a better job at making it so detailed yet very easy to understand. Thank you very much for taking the time out to produce this.

    Thanks so much for taking out the time for this. Its amazing! This is exactly what i was looking for to understand the entire process. I start to get curious about how things work as I'm around them since I started riding I've been learning more and more about how different parts of the motorcycles work, and this video helped me learn alot as well. Thanks man.

  • @dougreikosky9530
    @dougreikosky9530 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you so much for this. I agree with some of the other posters that knowing something about the mechanics gives you greater appreciation for the machine. I am going for my endorsement next week and am very excited to pass the test and move on to getting a bike and working on it. Excellent presentation!

    Duuude! thank you so much for taking the time to make this video for us noobs who don't know how a motorcycle engine works! You answered so many of my questions in one video! It feels pretty good now to know what exactly is going on inside my bike's engine everytime I take it for a ride, pull in the clutch, shift gear, twist the throttle and listen to it purrr. Keep up the great work bro, ride safe!

  • @katrkroberts8968

    Subscribed and bookmarked, I'm a new driver (working on my license now), but as a lifelong IT professional I know that the best way to know what you're dealing with, is knowing what makes it tick and how it all works together. I love the videos and the in-depth descriptions, they make it really easy to understand what you are teaching.

    Thank you so much my dude, my partner is getting me into motorbikes and I've always been too intimidated to learn how engines work since I mostly work around computers. I love the no frills attitude and the demonstrations on how each part works and what they do, now when they are talking about their bike I can have a good understanding of what the hell they're bloody on about! Thanks!

    Hey buddy, that is a really good rundown of how a motorcycle engine etc works. It would be too much for someone with no pre existing knowledge to absorb, but is an excellent summary for someone like me. I already know the theory behind an engine, clutch, gearbox etc, but have never opened up an engine to see how it works in practice. Thank you for the significant time you have put into making this video.

    I have wanted to know how engines work for years. I have NO mechanical ability and not a ton of interest working on engines, but I've always been curious. I look at them like magic and get a headache when i read about engine stuff because I can't wrap my brain around what's going on.
    In 24 minutes you demystified everything and made me feel like, yes, I actually can know this stuff. This was an amazing video.

    Excellent explanation... Perhaps the most underrated video of all time... You should be getting more views.... Been riding motorcycles for 8 years and never completely understood how it works.... The motorcycle model you choose for explaining this video was very clear and generic to motorcycles we get in our country. Hence I was able to relate to it and understand it completely.... Thanks for the awesome video. Keep it up...
