This; I watched probably 8 shitty youtube videos on how to change my oil (or a very similar bike) and still being a little confused. $40 on a Haynes manual for everything including removing the engine and I wrench with confidence.
Tejas Padhye I just bought the service manual for my bike (Z900RS) directly from Kawasaki. Had to ask for it from their parts department. Cost me about $126 Australian Dollars. It has full breakdowns of each sub system, torque settings for everything, complete regular servicing guides. It’s Slightly bigger than A4 sized and about an inch thick. It even explains where wiring harnesses are supposed to go, it’s really good. The same visual style as the owners manual but the content of a Haynes. It’s amazing and worth every penny.
@@Robnoxious77 yah the service manual for your particular moto is the best thing to get. Haynes is not bad either but nothing beats the manual from the manufacturer
I use power tools pretty much every day for work and have used an impact on my bike. 1. Its for loosening or for snugging up bolts/nuts ONLY. You need a torque wrench to tighten stuff down properly, or for example wheel lugnuts can be tightened with an impact a bit but you cant go overboard and have to finish with a torque wrench 2. For stuff like philips head do NOT use the power tools unless its not important/easy to replace. 3. 6 point sockets work best. 12 point sockets have a tendency to strip heads whether on an impact or with a ratchet wrench. If you use a power tool correctly and responsibly then they work great, the problem people have is not enough experience with that tool and/or using not quite properly, learn your tools and how they are used best and you'll be fine.
Electric ratchet is a life saver! I bought one when i was converting my supra to single turbo and now i use on everything to include my bikes! Especially removal of nuts and bolts! For install i always start by hand ensure all is aligned and well
Another tool that is invaluable that I think everyone should have is a hemostat. You can pick things up, clamp things in place, and hold on to small wires, without growing new hands. I would get a straight pair and a curved pair at least. You can get longer cruder versions used for fishing described as locking clamps too.
Don't know if it counts as a tool, but I use my air compressor far more than any other tool I own. Also, a micrometer is great to have around. Knowing when to replace your rotors is a good thing!
My most valuable tool is TH-cam. Whenever I do any work on my bike it’s the first place I go to get valuable info. Don’t know what I’d do without it. I have zero knowledge of all things mechanical and have never done any work on my own car other than changing an air filter or a burnt out headlight / brake bulb. Now that I own a motorcycle ( 2018 Ninja 400), I have started to do some basic maintenance myself, out of necessity ( I don’t want to pay the ridiculous labor fees charged by my dealer). So far, in order of difficulty, 1. Chain adjustment 2. Oil change ( hey Kawasaki, thanks a lot for not putting a 17mm nut on the OEM oil filter and making the job 10x harder than it could’ve otherwise been) and. 3. Replaced the rear brake pads. May not seem like much but these are major achievements for me 😂🤣
I would add a soft lead carpenters pencil, they are about $1 and well worth it for things like keys and wear surfaces that you dont want to squeak too much like the seat attachment points. For the locks just rub the key on the pencil lead and insert into the lock. For those combination cable locks rub the lead on the male part, connect, and run the wheels. Need to make a gasket rub on the part and transfer that to your gasket material. They look real cool behind the ear
One of them magnititized steel bowls to put nuts and bolts in , greatest thing ever especially after you kick it and not one nut flys somewhere, and a thumb wheel socket get both sizes
Since it is clear that this is not a list of tools to have in a carry-on tool kit for our scoots, I simply cannot overstress the importance of both an in./lb. and a ft./lb. torque wrench along with the manuals for your ride that contain every torque setting for your bike. I have every tool you mentioned, and many others, but the two most important are my torque wrenches. Thanks for the great tool tips as well!! And quality is also very important. Don't be a cheapskate and settle for crap are Harbor FRIGHT! Go with Craftsman, Snap-On, or some other brand with a lifetime warrantee!
Great list, I would only add wobble extensions. In their regular position they function like a limited range universal joint attachment or push them in and they lock in place like a rigid extension.
Get a service manual. Buy good quality tools and take care of them. A good torque wrench, both a low and high level. I have a 5-40nm and a 40-250 one. A good ratchet set. A good wrench set with ratchet heads. A chain cleaner kit, and lots of petroleum. I probably forgot about some stuff
note of caution with #5 adjustable wrench. Known to potentially roll the bolthead or nut. The small adjustable part faces in the direction of use. If fastener is really tight I recommend 6 point tool.
Its incredible how there are always screws left after any project completed on your bike. These screws just randomly appear out of nothing as a reward. So if there are any screws missing on your bike, don't order new screws. Just disassemble your bike and the reassemble it. You will have a ton of new screws after that. :)
with tear downs I say yes to power tools.. Break them loose with a good uga duga.. the T handles I like just make sure they also have the ends done too so you can again get some good leverage if something is pretty frozen on. Great list sir, also yes you are a bit late to the party but I only knew about this due to working on cars since I was younger the whole fam being gear heads so they have all the fun make life easy tools.. (magnets, hooks/picks, all types of crescent/monkey wrenches) it really helps to have some big crescents when you do not have the SOCKET.. keep up the fun vids. cheers.
There are some things I'd except from that general premise. Removing larger nuts and bolts with an impact driver rarely, if ever, causes me trouble. Short of stripping heads, it's almost never taking the fasteners off that causes the problem.
@@marcus4619 At least with the tools I have, I would have to either have the wrong size socket or try really hard to strip a bolt. Of course experience is the best teacher.
I very recently got a proper set of tools, and some of these are in the box! I can start wrenching on my Z and I already know which bolts in particular these will come in handy for. Good video!!!
Big ditto on the swivel head attachments. They are easily the best thing I had to work with. I needed one at another persons house and he didnt have any. Nothing as frustrating as knowing you have a tool at home that could save an hour
Number 5 is definitely a no no as a tradesman of 10years plus I can guarantee adjustable wrenches will cause more dramas then they solve Get the right spanner if you need it once you’ll need it again .
The picks also help with loosening those annoying tabs on electrical connectors and can help break stuck hoses. Just a note on swivel sockets they do alter torque so they can't be used to torque bolts accurately unless they are straight (which defeats the purpose)
Just got a Dremel to cut off a stuck washer. Great tool. I'm glad companies like Twisted Road are out there, but I'm surprised there's people who are willing to let strangers hop on their bike and ride off. I baby my motorcycles too much to trust someone I don't know riding them, especially when I'm not there to see what they're doing.
I'm a mechanic so I already had all this to begin with. But I can say contrary to your opinion, a quarter inch drive electric impact driver is an invaluable tool. In most cases it's not strong enough to strip bolts. And most nowadays have adjustable torque settings. In some cases they can cut an hour job down to just 20 minutes. You just need to learn to use it properly and not get one that's stronger than you need.
cresent wrench is a really go tool. IF you use it correctly. A LOT of people don't use it correctly wich results in rounded heads. just look up a video on how to properly use them
Ahhhhhh, the dremel! The hi-tech beginner tweakers favorite! Only beginning tweakers have the dremel because they haven't had time to trade it for TWEEK! More established tweakers use hand files!
Impact wrenches are for loosening. Manual torque wrenches are for tightening. Embrace the power. On a Single sided swingarm, either use an impact wrench, or you'll need a blocking board and 5 foot breaker bar. I do half agree, never tighten with an impact wrench.
There are tools out there that limit torque on impacts. They are a bit expensive for a nice set. But If want to feel like a Vietnam air-cav door gunner "runnin the 60!" Every time you run a 10mm fairing bolt home, I agree, don't use power tools.
My bike has a 46mm nut on the back wheel that can be a real pain. It also has tons of aluminum parts, so a torque wrench is really the ONLY tool to put those bolts back. Aluminum goes like this: feels loose, feels tighter, almost good and tight.. permanently loose, crap!
I have all that except the t-handles, but I have very good set of ball-end L-handles, made by Bondhus that are good enough that I haven't needed the upgrade to the it's.
Totally agree with the dremel and the allen key, although not necessarily have to be the T handle one. I use the L shape because the frame bolt on my bike uses 6mm allen bolt and it needs a hell of torque. I don't think T handle allen key is strong enough for frame bolt or engine mount bolt.
Pretty good list Spike but I will disagree with you on the crescent wrench commonly known as a shifting spanner here in Australia or a portable lathe to a lot of us old fellas. Back when I was an apprentice mechanic over 40 years ago we were discouraged from even picking 1 of these acts of Satan up. Even now I still don’t even own one. As for not using power tools there are times you do and times you don’t it all comes down to experience and the markings which can be found on a lot of high torque bolts.
Obviously need to add a mechanic to your growing staff. You will find not one seasoned wrench turner praising an adjustable wrench the way you do. Another point impacts are an everyday for removal of fasteners instead of hacking at everything with a dremel! Reinstalling done with proper lubrication, if required, and torque to spec.
The only tools listed I dont have are the picks and the t handle allens. I do however have higher qaulity L allen keys that are fantastic and have never had an issue
If you do get a set of T handles, whatever you do, do not throw away your normal L shape set, they'll save you when you need to get a bolt out with restricted access
Spite, my man, you need to step into selectable torque milwaukee tools, just cause power tool doesn't mean you need to 'ugga dugga' every tiny allen bolt to death and fuck every aluminum thread you come across; sometimes a thing like the milwaukee m12 ratchet is best used when removing something, rather than putting it back on, so you dont need to spend 12 damned minutes backing out some ungodly long bolt by hand, even worse when there's barely any room to swing a regular 3/8 ratchet.
Pro tip on hook and pick sets, say no to harbor freight on this. Ullman devices makes the best sets and they are super cheap. Check out the "machinists scribe"
I went to a hardware store for a crescent wrench. Since I ride a Yamaha, I insisted on a metric one. I was so fortunate they also had left handed ones! It cost twice as much as the right handed ones, but I think it was a deal. I scoured Amazon for a left handed metric crescent wrench and there are none. F*ck Bezos.

Need bike to buy the parts and tools
What seems different about your voice?..
Magnetic bowls are also very useful
And an endless supply of rubber washers
When getting wrenches, always get a set that has the ratcheting end on them. Always
Vice grip
the best tool for your garage: The service manual for your bike.
This; I watched probably 8 shitty youtube videos on how to change my oil (or a very similar bike) and still being a little confused. $40 on a Haynes manual for everything including removing the engine and I wrench with confidence.
Google
Most manufacturers give us owners manual and not the service manual. The owners manual is like 42 pages thin max to max.
Tejas Padhye I just bought the service manual for my bike (Z900RS) directly from Kawasaki. Had to ask for it from their parts department. Cost me about $126 Australian Dollars. It has full breakdowns of each sub system, torque settings for everything, complete regular servicing guides. It’s Slightly bigger than A4 sized and about an inch thick. It even explains where wiring harnesses are supposed to go, it’s really good. The same visual style as the owners manual but the content of a Haynes. It’s amazing and worth every penny.
@@Robnoxious77 yah the service manual for your particular moto is the best thing to get. Haynes is not bad either but nothing beats the manual from the manufacturer
3:05 side note: if you got bolts stuck in hard to reach places... drop the bike to get it out, It works everytime

The MOST important tool you need in your toolbox is a torque wrench! This should be your number one if you do not own one already!
Electric ratchet is a life saver! I bought one when i was converting my supra to single turbo and now i use on everything to include my bikes! Especially removal of nuts and bolts! For install i always start by hand ensure all is aligned and well
Buy a torque wrench, you can thank me later.
One missing frame slider, engine mount bolt, and exhaust header flange later and I am a believer in all things torque wrench
I would NEVER swap sprocket set without a torque wrench
And torx, Phillips adapters
I’m 17 and I’ve worked on a couple bikes including a 1980 Shovelhead. A brain was really helpful

Instead of that swivel I use a "wobble" extension. Like the ball on the end of an Allen wrench, it allows the socket to align with the fasteners.
Agreed!
I swear every single video Spite gets even better
I agree one hundred percent. It’s better to use hand tools over power tools. Unless you have a frozen nut or bolt. Then you have to use an impact gun.
Got them all lol.......however, cordless tools are perfectly acceptable to use, just learn to use the tool correctly.....one word......clutch

having parts left over when you reassemble just means you are more efficient than the manufacturer

Worked on aircraft engines. Never in a million years are you allowed to use power tools on engines. Why would you want to on your own baby 🤷🏽♂️

Must be nice to be a BEAST & able to break any bolt you see loose...

@@embracethesuck1041 True, removal seems fine. But would be a headache if you rounded off the head of the bolt

JIS compatible "solid shank" screwdrivers and impact driver bits. You can beat on protruding end to help remove stuck crankcase bolts.

allen set torque wrench and chain break ,socket set, multimeter,battery tender and magnets
I would add a torque wrench, and also a squashy mat to kneel on 👍 and WD40.

I do enjoy your voice once in a while, to be honest.
Dropped a bolt into my bikes engine once!! Magnet is a great idea
Always buy crescent wrenches in pairs: one to sh!t on, and one to cover it up with.
I am installing a full exhaust to my cbr650f, and I found the tool you mentioned are essential , thanks
Get a magnet tray. Nothing sucks more than looking for that 1 missing bolt you swore you left on the table.
Stripped Allen head no problem. Use the Dremmel to make it a slot.

Ratcheting tap handles. The nice ones.

There's a place for everything and the dremel is damn handy. Controllable and precise, it's good to have.

Why shouldn't you?

Renting out your bike is like renting out your wife. Motorcycles are built with a limited amount of miles in them and I want every single one of them.

Pretty good list Spike but I will disagree with you on the crescent wrench commonly known as a shifting spanner here in Australia or a portable lathe to a lot of us old fellas. Back when I was an apprentice mechanic over 40 years ago we were discouraged from even picking 1 of these acts of Satan up. Even now I still don’t even own one. As for not using power tools there are times you do and times you don’t it all comes down to experience and the markings which can be found on a lot of high torque bolts.

Obviously need to add a mechanic to your growing staff. You will find not one seasoned wrench turner praising an adjustable wrench the way you do. Another point impacts are an everyday for removal of fasteners instead of hacking at everything with a dremel! Reinstalling done with proper lubrication, if required, and torque to spec.
As a mechanic, this video kills me. BUT… for a total beginner with tools there is some good advice.
get a knipex pliers wrench instead of the crescent wrench is better

Have all but the T handle Allen’s. Sometimes I have my brain...
If you do get a set of T handles, whatever you do, do not throw away your normal L shape set, they'll save you when you need to get a bolt out with restricted access
same, I have allen key socket bits. I just don’t go full retard when tightening things
Damn, i kinda completely agree
Can we get a comparison with the r3 vs mt03. Would wanna know whats a better first bike!
Crude substitute? Like this untwisted wire coat hanger?
Spite, my man, you need to step into selectable torque milwaukee tools, just cause power tool doesn't mean you need to 'ugga dugga' every tiny allen bolt to death and fuck every aluminum thread you come across; sometimes a thing like the milwaukee m12 ratchet is best used when removing something, rather than putting it back on, so you dont need to spend 12 damned minutes backing out some ungodly long bolt by hand, even worse when there's barely any room to swing a regular 3/8 ratchet.

Use power tools to snug it up then finish with hand tools preferably a torque wrench
