Majes en Moto dude I always imagined you would enjoy the Motorcyclist Magazine videos, but I never actually expected you to watch content in English, by the way your videos are awesome Majes
lagartx3 I guess we're all doing the same here. The best content can exist in any language! Nice to see you around too!! And OMG your English is perfect! Thanks for challenging me for the 10m time ago ;)
Totally agree! They make it look easier than I believe it would be if I were to do it to my Z1000. Majes, I am looking forward to seeing if you do it sometime in the future to your bike! :). Glad to see you watching the same stuff I do.
Protip for using jackstands under the stock folding footpegs: remove the footpegs and flip them around so they fold down instead of up, that way they actually support the bike. Wrap them in a microfiber to prevent marring.
I done this recently and not easy or safest thing to do using a car jack to lift the bike on, use something else. My bike was to heavy to lean on one and lift to get on the other, it just pushes the axle stand that way.
I appreciate you stating that this is easier said than done. Most people who post videos like this and go through the motions really fast tend to leave out steps and so forth which is understandable however it gives the illusion that these types of repairs are much simpler than they actually are.
Keep up the great content! Great tools here, for a novice mechanic like myself, to do fairly simple maintenance procedures on my bikes. Thanks a bunch!
You’ve taught me so much about working on my sport bike. I appreciate these videos. You get to the point and the tips are great man keep it up! Ride on
I am gracefully appreciated your incredible hard work and really good effort at each and every video you share. You are a great role model for a beginner, and a high quality mechanical instructor for experienced riders. I hope it pays more than enough to make it worthy your great effort. In my point of view, sharing all these experiences is priceless! Sincerely, thank you! Have a wonderful day!
You saved my motorcycle dude. was going sell it coz it was handling poorly after few years of riding even after changing the suspension. Then saw your video and replaced the swing arm bushings. Again my bike is back in form. Yeah swing arm busings are perhaps the most neglected items. But working on them really make the magic happens. Thanx a lot.
Hi Ari.. I am a regular viewer of MC Garage videos, they are really good.. and putting my life at ease as I like to work on my bike mostly myself.. like you do! Well, I reside in a locality where there is lot of dust and humidity and to add on to it, I live close to the sea. As a result, I can see my bike's rear suspension joints, swingarm and chassis to begin rusting, I wanted you to help me with some quick DIYs that I can do besides keeping my bike clean and polished for keeping rust at bay...Thank You!
New to motorbikes from the UK and I have now watched most your videos and eagerly await the notifications for your new ones, even if I feel some of the maintenance ones are beyond me right now they are good to know what to ask a shop to do. Thanks guys
Thanks for watching Colin. If our vids give you the knowledge to be a more informed rider (even if you take your bike to the shop for service), then that's great.
Good video Ari! I have a couple of videos over on my channel that shows viewers how to disassemble the Ducati single sided swingarm on the 848, 1098 and 1198 models. I do this every year now as part of my preventative maintenance. Keep the good videos coming!
Hi.....I am watching your video first time today...... Your videos are very nice and helps a lot in case of motorcycle maintenance and your workshop is amazing
Good video as always, only thing I think would be good to add is that most sports bikes use a non standard nut for the swing arm that require either the special socket or you have to custom make your socket for it.
Wow.. .. mine is also a CBR 250R so was not aware of this servicing. . Thank you buddy will try getting it serviced. . In India rain and dusts are common so I think this servicing is necessary. . .
@@TexasP00nTappa Don't remind me 😂 my bike is on around 19,500 miles, it's usually done at 20k, it's not sounding bad yet though so could get away from doing it for a while yet.
Can you please make video explaining the differences between 2-stroke exhausts and 4-stroke exhausts focusing on the reasons for expansion chambers on the headers as well as the differences between short cans and long cans. Thanks and keep making these awesome vids .
Hy... I'm from Pakistan Mc garage is just perfect, one best thing is the stick to the facts... Keep doing perfect things, thanks for everything you teach us
Could u guys please do a video on cam chain tensioners. The difrent types etc and how to set your tension properly on a menual one. I have seen and heard alot of difrent methods in the past few years and it would be great to clear out the bullshit one's from the right one's.
I watch all of your videos to get ready for when i buy my own first motorcycle which will be a Honda cbr500r sometime in the next year that way i know what to maintain and how to fix anything if needed. I know you mainly focus on mechanical issues but I was wondering if you could do a video on how to wire up accessories to your bike such as an accessory socket, usb plug, more lights, under and blow glow lights, or even an extra fuse box for people who need to power a phone, lights, gps, 360 cameras, communication devices for longer drives where recharging isn't viable. Another good idea would be everything that needs to be done on a brand new bike before you first ride it or even a behind the scenes of what needs to be done to a bike that comes straight from the factory out of the box. You guys provide such great and thoughtful insight on how to do things in short format videos while not missing important details. Thank you I hope to see videos on the subjects I commented about in the near future!
When i was working at local motorcycle garage and they had hooks in ceiling to hang the bikes with straps for fast tire changes if all the lifts had another bike on them. So the ladder will do the job just fine for some maintenance work
Nice video. Ari , do you have any tips or tricks for protecting your bike against rust and moisture? Because I am obligated to ride in the rain for commuting.
So many people neglect this! It’s crazy. To have a shop replace your linkage bearings and seals is like $700+ here in Canada. And there’s not much of an aftermarket for the parts so OEM it usually is.
Hi mc garage please can you show the best and affordable ways to lower your rear of bike with minimum change to the drive ? Thanks , keep up the great videos
Drill and tap holes for grease fittings and shoot some grease into the bearings at oil change time. The old bikes came with grease fittings so you could keep the bearings lubed. It's simple and effective. I also drill and tap my shift lever. It's amazing what a little grease will do. This is what happens when you were born in the 50s.
Guys awesome videos!!! But can you make a video whats needed to do when you bought a second hand motorcycle I meen not everybody buys new bikes so, i'ts a good thing to know what to check before you ride,or make a series about this stuff...please guys becouse everybody deserves to be safe. Thank you keep up the good work :D
Hi Ari and team MC garage, can you please make a video on a good way of cleaning motorcycle tank from rust and other dirt which gets accumulated over years? I own a 2011 Honda CBR250R with nearly 98,000km on the odo and I would like to clean it as it is never been done till now.
Hey Ari, quick question. If you can only get 1 jack/lift setup, what would it be? Considering I do all my maintenance and repairs myself (from suspension service to changing out tires)
Even with the front wheel in the vise, I would still strap the forks with ratchet straps. This is especially important with a heavy cruiser or touring bike.
How about single sided belt swing arm. I have an F800 GT and I've thought about servicing the linkage. It's just the cover looks like I'll need a BMW for opening specifically that cover.
In case these bearings are damaged for a very long time, does this makes issues on the swing arm? Something similar happened to my bike, now I am worried about changing the swing arm along with bearings
Fuck me, this has got the potential to be the best motorcycle channel on TH-cam! Ari and Zack know what we want and deliver it just right!
I never miss an MC Garage video. They are just a perfect 10. Entertaining, well explained and fast to the topic. Thanks guys!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching.

fast, informative, well produced and edited.... this video almost makes me WANT to pull my bike apart
Do it!

F-GENIOUS, thanks !
EXCELLENT Recommendation TrackSol!!!

You guys are true heroes! Helping the layman like me, feel like we can service our own bikes. Keep 'em coming!
I appreciate you stating that this is easier said than done. Most people who post videos like this and go through the motions really fast tend to leave out steps and so forth which is understandable however it gives the illusion that these types of repairs are much simpler than they actually are.

I’m doing suspension in college at the moment, Great timing.
This is what I was expecting exactly because I own a cbr250. Really really informative video big salute to MC Garage
this is the best mc vid maintenance tips in youtube! i learned a lot on how to keep my bike in top shape! tnx mc garage! 😀

I learned alot from u ur my idol when it comes to moyorcycle... Thank you so much for ur free guides..
Hi.....I am watching your video first time today...... Your videos are very nice and helps a lot in case of motorcycle maintenance and your workshop is amazing
Ari you're the Man best videos on the internet .....can you bless us with some dirt BIKE vids
Big appreciation to you because I actually need to do this
Right on time. I was just going to service my bike. Now will do this too. Did I ever say how awesome is MC Garage! #notmostpeople
'You're not most people, because you watch MC Garage'
Top notch unintentional (Undeserved) self-burn.
I love these tips! Great work
Great video, man. As always, very detailed
Thank you,this video helped me lot and we will support you for more like this videos.
I'm so happy to see that I'm not the only that goes out in to the public with a black nose :) Thanks for all the great work man!
Haha, we had an alternative into that the editor opted not to use because I had too much grease on my face...
Good video as always, only thing I think would be good to add is that most sports bikes use a non standard nut for the swing arm that require either the special socket or you have to custom make your socket for it.
Wow, that is quite uncommon maintenance operation. Well done!
Wow.. .. mine is also a CBR 250R so was not aware of this servicing. . Thank you buddy will try getting it serviced. . In India rain and dusts are common so I think this servicing is necessary. . .
Pretty soon I'm never gonna have to take my bikes to the shop. Thanks MC Garage!
And just when I think my bike needs nothing else besides oil change and chain lube.
Boy are you in for a treat🤣
@@TexasP00nTappa Yep lol, plenty more to be done.
@@HalfdeadRider valve clearance adjustments suck the most i think
@@TexasP00nTappa Don't remind me 😂 my bike is on around 19,500 miles, it's usually done at 20k, it's not sounding bad yet though so could get away from doing it for a while yet.
its best if you can do this every 6months
So short yet so informative.
Ari! you ended up with grease on your noose, typical mechanic! hahahaha great video
The little Honda CBR250R is back! Sweet little ride.
Heavy loads?
You calling me fat?
Fair enough
Another awesome one. Well done.
This video will be piticuily helpful one day. ;) Love these.
trick with a ladder is amazing!
awesome ari, great vids as always!
Thanks brother from India
good one as always
Great video, like always!
Nice catch phrase !
Love your vids !
Having the garage doing mine they have the tools n know how to do it in a number of hours.Hopfully handling is improved
Can you guys do a video on quickshifters and how they work, advantages/disadvantages?
th-cam.com/video/mlBhPZdVqb8/w-d-xo.html
This channel is so great and this video is amazing, I'd rather watch this than Netflix lol
Awesome explanation Ari. This has to be the first TH-cam video on the subject?
Thanks i needed this to my bike
Can you please make video explaining the differences between 2-stroke exhausts and 4-stroke exhausts focusing on the reasons for expansion chambers on the headers as well as the differences between short cans and long cans. Thanks and keep making these awesome vids .
Hy... I'm from Pakistan Mc garage is just perfect, one best thing is the stick to the facts...
Keep doing perfect things, thanks for everything you teach us
Great video!👌
Another nice vid. 😉
Thanks for your great video!
Is there a way to put the bike on a rear stand without help?
happy to see this video as i own a cbr250r .
I didn't even know this was a thing... wow.
Love it thanks .
Good Video Ari,,,Can you please tell us how to inspect and change the Engine idle speed and its importance?
Could u guys please do a video on cam chain tensioners. The difrent types etc and how to set your tension properly on a menual one. I have seen and heard alot of difrent methods in the past few years and it would be great to clear out the bullshit one's from the right one's.

Its a good idea take needle bears out get grease on the outer wall of housing makes shocks work so much smoother
Fantastic
When i was working at local motorcycle garage and they had hooks in ceiling to hang the bikes with straps for fast tire changes if all the lifts had another bike on them. So the ladder will do the job just fine for some maintenance work
Loves to see a cbr on MC Garage
thanks for the video. e helps. but how to change the linkage bearing?
Nice video. Ari , do you have any tips or tricks for protecting your bike against rust and moisture? Because I am obligated to ride in the rain for commuting.
I'm ur big fan bro...
Great video thanks master 👍🇲🇽🇪🇸
can you do a video of how to change your bearings! thanks!
Thanks boss 👍
Hey can you do a video on clutch maintenance?
So many people neglect this! It’s crazy. To have a shop replace your linkage bearings and seals is like $700+ here in Canada. And there’s not much of an aftermarket for the parts so OEM it usually is.
Damn I miss this guy..
Brother do a video about frame sliders. Thank you
Hi mc garage please can you show the best and affordable ways to lower your rear of bike with minimum change to the drive ? Thanks , keep up the great videos

Thank you keep up the good work :D
Can you make a video on frame sliders? Are there any risk installing it?
Great! My bike squeaks more than a youtube commenter, so i guess it´s time to check that linkage 😄
Do have any video for the 1300 gen II swingarm service or replace
Please make a video on difference between petal vs normal disk brakes
Hi Ari and team MC garage, can you please make a video on a good way of cleaning motorcycle tank from rust and other dirt which gets accumulated over years? I own a 2011 Honda CBR250R with nearly 98,000km on the odo and I would like to clean it as it is never been done till now.
Can u do video on how to properly break in new motorcycle engine?? shud we really keep the Rev low until 1000kms??plz do a video on that
Motorcyclist Magazine please do a review of the ZERO DS (DSR), ideally ON TWO WHEELS, Thanks
Please creat video on motorcycle traction control, cornering abs and quick shifter
Yo Ari...can you explain about big and small sprocket which is better?...please brother...
When or how often this should be done? Thanks.
Ari, what about the other end? the steering head bearings?
tnks :-)
thanx bro... =)
Hey Ari, quick question. If you can only get 1 jack/lift setup, what would it be? Considering I do all my maintenance and repairs myself (from suspension service to changing out tires)
True.
I always have to loosen the nearby engine mounting bolts too, otherwise the swing arm won’t come out (and it’s impossible to get back in too)
Even with the front wheel in the vise, I would still strap the forks with ratchet straps. This is especially important with a heavy cruiser or touring bike.
How about single sided belt swing arm. I have an F800 GT and I've thought about servicing the linkage. It's just the cover looks like I'll need a BMW for opening specifically that cover.
In case these bearings are damaged for a very long time, does this makes issues on the swing arm?
Something similar happened to my bike, now I am worried about changing the swing arm along with bearings
Most people watch MC garage !
