- I sold a Suzuki S40 running and the clutch went out two days later. This is a short story about doing what's right and making new friends along the way.

Wow.. I felt his happiness at the end! This is the culture we need to spread out. Well done man.
You were raised right. Good job.
You help restore my faith in humanity. well done.
What a gent, not only fixing the clutch and modifying the chain tensioner but giving the new owner the opportunity to learn.
The world needs more of this right here.
Ryan I am eternally grateful for you!! Truly a one of a kind soul, thanks again for the blessing! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Bro we're bff's now. My pleasure.
@@ar2dee2 Thank you for the suggestion. I will make the investment ASAP
That man willing to watch and learn will help him more then he knows in his future.
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.
Wow.. That's the decent thing to do... Especially as this won't have been a low miles newish machine either.
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.
Just when you thought the man couldn't get any cooler! Respect.
You are a good man.
Great Attitude Sir! Karma is good!
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.
Right on.
Good on you Brother! Smoked clutches are almost always 99.99% driver error. The kindness you have given is the way we all need to to be.
Drop the music. We can't hear what you are saying.
Quality shows beautifully.
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.
Good deal, glad the two of you got it done. Love that he's learning how to maintain as well. Two good men
Bringing humanity together one clutch at a time. Sleep well, my friend.
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.
Hey Phil, thanks for the kind words I appreciate it!
Ryan....You are a good dude , have a great smile and are doing the right thing.
wow you replaced the clutch! He could have easily fried that in that time. I guess you have a customer for life now.
Man, I appreciate you! ❤
Dude is going throughly enjoy that Thumper. Thanks for bringing a new rider into the fold 🫡🤙
Had this randomly popup on my feed. Super cool of ya man helping the seller! Gonna sub man !
You Sir are a stand up guy. The world needs more people like you, thank you for being an example
Respect man. You just earned a bucket load. You don’t need my approval, but well done that man.
Wow, you are rare breed! Kudos to you!
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!
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
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
He can also build a portfolio of references for the future. Maybe get some sort of online review system.
Very nice gesture to repair it for him, well done
That’s why I hate selling any bike or car ! You did the right thing even though he might have fried the clutch himself. You sure helped out a fellow biker and made him understand the brotherhood. Hopefully he’ll pass it on to the next rider in need.
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.
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.
golden aces bro I'll buy anything from you you a good man. Made the bro's day and another happy bike person!!
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!
your a great guy you fixed it for him real class act
This is how we are supposed to treat people. God bless you Sir!
We make the world a better place when we choose kindness.
You just earned yourself a lifer! Not to mention the friends and family he'll share this experience with!
Well done, that's amazing!
That chap learned a thing and you made his day, he will never forget that!
I think you made a lifelong friend !!!
We should all be so lucky as to buy our old stuff from people with your attitude...nice.
We need more of you in this would
If all people did this sort of thing this nation would be in a hell of a lot better shape. One person helping another in need. The kid was lucky he bought it from someone that knows the bike and has the ability to repair the one lunger. I always figured that this kind of thing goes toward the plus side when you go see St. Peter. 🙂 Your a good Dude.
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.
That was an object lesson in how to do the right thing… I suspect many sellers will be shaking their heads, not realising that their customer will make sure all their friends know, and won’t come back, whereas you’ll be recommended and will get repeat business.
For those who need to hear what you said as well as what you did, I would turn down the music if not remove altogether. Great work, Well Done. 👍❤️😎✅
This may be the best motorcycle (good person) video I’ve ever seen. I’m glad there are people like you in the world, and thank you!
Did the tensioner mod while in there. You still know those bikes awfully well. ha ha
Yeah you did him right good for you, I sold a classic Chevy c10 truck and the guy called me up and said the transmission went out he wants his money back so I towed the truck home gave his money back and just used it as experience
Your a stand up guy! You did a great thing, also gave him a lesson on working on the bike.
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.
Ryan, I'm sure you felt the great feeling of "Doing the right thing"Karma is a wonderful thing it rewards those good people like yourself and punishers the assholes.
Well done sir , god bless
It would have been nicer to have the new owner do the spanner twirling. Best way to learn.
That was pretty cool of you to own the problem after the sale. I hope the new owner at least paid for the new clutch plates.
I sold a Guzzi a while ago and the final drive shaft gearbox went tits up. I bought a second hand one and the purchaser was happy to fit it. Happy i did the right thing!
Happened to me but it was a month after, Had the cylinder sleeve twist (RM125), found out the machine shop did a slip fit for the sleeve and not a press fit, i ended up taking the bike in and paid for a new cylinder, had him pay for the other parts and put it back together for him. ~ 5 months later i am still getting photos of the adventures he's having on it. cost me ~$400 from profit but i wanted to make sure it was right, sold the cylinder without sleeve on ebay and got a few $ back.
Wow what a standup guy god bless you man
Long ago I sold a '75 Kawasaki 175 enduro. I told the guy it runs great, it always did when I had it, but it's seen lots of hard use and almost zero maintenance, and it might not last 15 minutes if you really get on it. He came back about a week later and said it lasted 20 minutes before the induction disk broke, and he wondered if I had any parts for it around. (I didn't)
Good dude.
Teach a man to fish, an allat.
Watch out for the snakes, some people exists solely to take advantage of good people.
Hey brotha thanks for helping out a brotha! I did same thing when I sold my. Honda Black bird and it broke down on him wouldn't even get him home that sucks so I offered options inc money back but he wanted to keep the bike so we did what he wanted Amen ! Once you ride the Blackbird ! And experience that engine ! You gonna wanna keep it ! It was jus an electrical of course. Thanx. so much for helping our brother.
Sooo Cool man, wish there were more people like you in the world
You did a good thing ! A used bike is a used bike . But I think maybe he learned a little. I don't know but if he's a new rider he might have rode the clutch a little hard , new riders tend to do that . All in all I think you did right.
Good video.
My first bike was a 06 ls650. It was the same color as that one, too. It was a great little bike that I had a lot of fun on.
At the end of the day you have 2 happy men!😎
The benefit of going that extra mile is there's not much traffic there.
You did the right thing! Congratulations!
Excellent vid I love that bike. I've never seen one in Australia
With dirtbikes, I feel its 'buyer beware'. You can buy a bike in good faith and find a heap of things wrong, conversely, you can sell a perfectly running bike and it can break down a few hours later. I maintain the attitude that if you are buying 'used' then you are buying a pile of parts and it is impossible to measure and account for how much trouble-free riding you will get to your first major issue.
God bless you Brother man...that was so good of you doing all that for the guy. We just know when something's the right thing to do, if we have a good soul. Good karma your way. . Now subscribed to your channel after seeing this. From a new fan in England. UK.🙏🇬🇧
LOL i read a comment talking about modifying the timing tensioner and in my head was like "there's no way this video is about an s40" then you said it 2 seconds later
That was a really cool thing you did there most people wouldn't have done that. God Bless my friend awesome job!
It is a good thing but most people don’t have this guys experience and tools or a TH-cam channel. Most people (who genuinely sold a bike with a working clutch) wouldn’t be able to pay for these two jobs to be done as they would probably cost more than the motorcycle is worth.
Yeah the guy almost certainly was at least partially responsible for smoking the clutch but a little bit of time and a little bit of money goes a long way for keeping customers happy.
You’re an example. Showing a man how to fish and helping beyond what’s asked purely for the benefit of your buyer. I hope he’s grateful. I hope god or the universe pays you back.
God, not the universe. Actually fun fact, God made the universe
@@cj8172 I know the scriptures. I’m trying not to push my beliefs on to someone else.
I bought a 1960s Triumph and the next day it threw a rod end right out through the bottom of the crankcase! I towed it back to the guy who sold it to me. I suspect he heard noises developing that I didn’t know weren’t normal. He offered me 1/4 of what I had paid him.
To everyone saying You help restore my faith in humanity. Just go out and be kind and you can add to this and just think what it could start...
i sold a motorcycle and the gearbox exploded 350 mls up the road, i feel i did the fair thing by sending the guy a workshop manual. what was he doing, clutchless gearchanges, not used to the shift pattern and shifted down instead of up ?. that's what 'sold as seen' means 'i'm not responsible for the dumb sh*t you may do'.
Awesome!, just outright awesome, most people would do the well ya bought a used bike good luck! You prove there are still decent people out there. I just picked up a dr650 rode good on the first ride but in 4th and 5th I felt the clutch slip, it was a from a friend purchase, and let him take it out and he was saying it didn't do it for him, kinda up in the air about that at the moment. Goes to show even a friend can steer you wrong, he's going to help me put a new clutch in when I get one but the initial impression was slightly off. He's a friend that's more of a you can do it, but is willing to help.
Yes!!! Love it!!
Not even a dealership. Would warranty a clutch. It’s rider error. Nice to see some humanity left in the world. 🌎
When I sell a vehicle first I go through everything I know honestly about it and share any known issue. I then print out a bill of sale that both parties sign stating that there is no warranty one the buyer takes it. I don’t have any phone calls later
Nice touch bro.
M6 bolt on aluminum threads, iirc 6.5Nm, just a little shy of 5lbft.
For anyone with no built-in torque wrench wrist, even a cheap torque wrench saves a lot of money. Specially young kids who are growing up and double their strength every year tend to ruin their mopeds by being too heavy handed.
picking a 20 year old bike as your first is a super gutsy move... it's just asking for problems.
🥰🥰🥰You are such a brother
Just this past month I was treated right by Garmin and HJC. They must have learned from you. Taking care of customers is always the right thing to do.
Nice one brother
Send him a TH-cam video of how to replace a clutch. Boom
if you dont bvel the welded edges, grinding it down flat removes nearly all the filler material. best practice is to bevel all the edges
This should be the bare minimum of whats acceptable at all times.
Music overpowered the conversation and added nothing useful. The info you are giving is the gold.
It's just a clutch. Fixing your bike is part of being a motorcyclist.
Watch one, do one, teach one. 👍
I liked and subscribed.
Well done you. Karma works both ways.
you are a good man 🤘🤘
Good man!
Uplifting!
Got to 4 mins and that music sent me away.
