My nana used to take apart his Diesel bullet part by part and put it together as annual maintenance, I used to be the assistant 🚀 he's no more, but memories ❤️
Engaging in DIY maintenance on my bike and car transformed me into a proficient rider and driver. Formerly, my vehicles were merely utilitarian appliances, but after taking on tasks like oil changes and brake overhauls, my relationship with them evolved. I now relish the act of riding with greater satisfaction, deriving a sense of pride from my hands-on involvement. Furthermore, it has allowed me to delve into the fascinating realm of automotive tools, equipping me with the capability to disassemble and reassemble a car. Though I typically refrain from leaving comments on videos, I felt compelled to express my appreciation for your exceptional content. Your channel stands out in delivering unique and valuable material that sets you apart from other TH-camrs. Thank you once again for the insightful video.
Hi, Aslam. We are glad to see form a deeper connect with your car after carrying out regular maintenance jobs. There's no better way to form a bond with a machine. And yes, automotive tools are a quite the world that a DIY person would explore. Thank you for appreciating our work ❤️
I have been working on my cars for the last 18 years, though limited to changing engine oil, spark plugs, swapping winter tires/wheels, and washing/interior cleaning. It's a great way to connect and listen to your machine and gives you joy that is a bit hard to explain. Totally agree with you.
My father and I used to work on our bikes quite often and I once completely disassembled my second hand apache (not the engine but everything except that) for cleaning and fixing the non working indicators it was fun even disassembled the LH switch set to remove rust from the plate so the indicator works and it did 😂 it was quite a shock to my mom when she saw what condition the bike was in but i tucked the wiring better that what TVS did from factory and used super glue to fix some broken parts and used an eraser to damp the sound from the tank vibrating learned a lot and gave me the confidence to ride that thing knowing it can be fixed, even though I overpaid and it wasnt what they said it was
For people saying ok I can't do all those, start with washing the car/bike just wash it the right way, observe the details, observe the dents or scratches maybe try to remember how it happened and just appreciate what the vehicle has been through 😅 while washing observe the tyre, thread, etc. Just spend some time with it at stand still. You'll appreciate it.
My DIY journey started due to not having many service stations in my area for my CBR250R. I got hold of a detailed service manual which I follow step by step. Here's the list of things which I've done so far in the past 3 years: Oil change. Oil filter change. Air filter change. Coolant change. Radiator and fan overhaul. Got the alternator busted once due to short circuit so changed the alternator. Front and rear brake pads change with cleaning. Rear shock absorber change with prolink cleaning. Regular chain cleaning and lubricating.
I was someone who never liked bike much just road it for the sake of commuting. Once I started to work on my dads rx100 when I changed the seats and repainted the chaingaurd and mounted the headlights and mirrors for FC renewal and I cleaned the whole bike and made it ready for inspection and discovered the improvements it did to the motor cycle. That’s when I fell in love with the concept of riding. I am a car guy but this experience changed the way I saw things. Now am ready to get my first bike.
I can totally relate with the major screw-up during exploration and urge to fix something. Case in point, shearing off one of the three clutch blots on the R3, when I basically wanted to get a closer look inside the engine, or at least the gearbox side. A couple of thuds from the father and lots of sounding later, the R3 was put back with the two bolts and ridden to the workshop, where even the mechanic ended up laughing at my brilliance. But it taught me that I needed a torque wrench and to read a service manual if I wanted to open up bikes further😂😂😂
The first thing that I did myself on my bike was replace the old wiring harness which was destroyed by rats when my P180 classic was in storage for 3 months. I placed an order with 99rpm for the harness which arrived in 4 days. Then it was just removing the tank and headlight, and replacing the harness and reinstalling the headlight and tank. These days I try to do almost everything that I can do in the time that I do have for all my bikes - 2011 P220, Activa 3G, 1982 RE Bullet 350, and NTorq RXP BS6. I do not let anyone else even touch the electricals except where a PCB is involved which is still beyond the scope of my rudimentary skills. I can change engine oils, replace clutch, brake, speedo cables, replace brake pads on disks, replace spark plugs, air filters, etc. I even learned how to properly set the CB point system and the carb on my old RE. I go to the Mechanic only when some specialized tool which I do not have access to is required to get the job done or there is some mechanical issue with the engine. In the case of cars, I did install reversing camera and monitor on Lancer, Corsa and Safari Dicor. I accidently drilled through the boot locking mechanism in the Corsa which had to be repaired as the boot would not lock. I have replaced the 65W halogen lamps 100W ones, which involved installing a separate harness, also tried HIDs and LEDs on them. I have replaced the cassette audio systems to CD/mp3 systems and those to bluetooth and touch screens, replaced speakers which went bad, replace horns with trumpet type ones with relay wiring, basically as long as the issue is not mechanical, I try to do it myself.
Barring occasions when I'm out of necessary tools, I repair my motorcycle. This includes washing, changing engine oil, air and oil filters, wheel balancing, chain cleaning, and cleaning carburettor, etc., 😎 It helps you know your machine inside our. 🎯
This one right here is an absolute gem! So much to learn and the one thing you said - HEART & SOUL INTO IT. This video has been very encouraging to me to go and listen to my car & bike so that I can uplift their routinely maintenance & service schedule in a way which makes me interact with them more & more rather than just observing the things.
I think I can try replacing the right side blinker fluid and topping up the left side Blinker fluid today… So true, the love towards our machine increases as we get our hands dirty.
Could not agree with you more ever. This is the very essence of why "You should always know to take care of the things you own, ON YOUR OWN." and never ever rely on other people to clean your stuff ALWAYS.
In a world full of windows style autoreview channels, MotorInc feels like Apple. ( Abhi wala nahi, Steve Jobs wala, philosophical Apple!) Built with passion & genuine love for the product. I hope you guys dream big, *REALLY BIG* and change this world. Make it better.
It iş the best way to learn about bikes/care. We had a relatable incident where we were coming back from a trip and we need to cover approximately 100km . It was already 8:00 PM and one of my friend’s lights went out. Me and another friend of mine had similar experience and we knew it is related to the fuse box. We figured it out fixed it and came back safely. It is the smallest things can help you. 😊
Heartening video. I have been a keen disciple of this theme since a kid and enjoy doing this when ever possible. Remember cleaning my RX 100 chain in Kerosene and dipping it in a pot containing boiling Grease and then keeping it in freezer . The smoothness thereafter was like a boat sailing over a river. Believe me such chain greasing practise enhanced the life of chain till 96,000 KMS😊.
Woah! That’s a lot more intense than what we get away with today! Spray. Wipe. Spray. Would love to know more about this method and the 96k life, incredible!
@@motorincI read this method of chain greasing from a foreign magazine and trust me it was worth it though it entailed boiling Grease in a pan and dipping the chain and thereafter keeping it in a freezer thereby allowing the Grease to settle down inside the rollers . Sadly, I cannot repeat this process for my Gixxer Ronin since I feel the boiling Grease may damage the rubbers of these O ring chains.
so much practical and logical things , did the mistakes you said too, can relate so much. As yash said every word is precise , eye opener and Knowledge +++++++:)
Thank you Kartikeya Sir 🙏🏻 , I already took the first step, like cleaning and lubing chain, checking and adjusting cables, touch-up paint job to remove scuff marks or rust, installing extra break lights, washing my motorcycle, etc. Still I am really sacred of going further to tasks like removing tyres, spark plug, break callipers, etc. What you shared, meant a lot. Your words are wise enough to encourage me to relax, be fearless and just try. I should be ready to make mistakes and push myself further to learn more. Next time, I won't hesitate to get my hands dirty.
I totally agree with you. I have done all I could to my car. Done polishing, clay bar, ceramic, washer fluid, windshield water repellent, etc. I did damage my car at some place but I still felt good doing this because it made my bond stronger with my car.
I totally agree with you, I got scorpio n z2 and got it's roof rails, chrome parts, foot step, led bulbs, matts from market and fixed it myself just parked it side of the road and with my father fixed all this in 3-4 hours, it was fun and good way of bonding Now I'm planning to fix my xcent radiator support with iron frame diy way, it makes me feel alive
Great one bro ❤ I always love working with vehicles. I used to work on my bike & my parents & gf are like "why should you do this, get it done from some shops". I do have a go to person for my bike. Anything everything anytime... That's my guy... He helps me identify stuff the way you were telling about your unicorn. I would love to see some kinda DIY videos soon from you guys, like changing the brake pads, adjusting the chain tensioner, etc on bikes & cars. You can try something. Even if that's not possible, you can try shooting it from a well known garage that you guys trust. I know, if you guys make one it will be informative. TH-cam already has videos from diff channels for such stuff. But yours will be special & this channel will be like a go to place for anything related to 2 & 4 wheelers. With lots of love to MotorInc team ❤
Hi Kartikeya very well said.. i really like the small spark that you have tried to ignite in all of us.. really that so true.. Thank you Kartikeya for reminding us again.. and Thank you @Motorinc Team
I remember as a kid, I used to sit beside the mechanic who used to come to service my father's car. It always used to fascinate me watching take apart so many little things and then putting them back together. My curiosity back then was just that. Just taking things apart and putting them back on. From replacing smaller parts like the parking light bulb on my scooty or bolting on a pair of crash guards. The more screws I took out, the deeper my curiosity and thrill grew. Now, even when I own a much more expensive machine, I guess it is that deep rooted curious kid in me who gives me the confidence of opening up my bike and observing what is there, reading manuals, watching videos. And the confidence that I'll be able to handle the basic repairs by myself on the road if needed happens to be just a byproduct of that curiosity. The best part is, we just need to know and understand about that one model of car/bike/scooter that we own. Invest that time. Get closer to the machine you own. Just imagine, if keeping it clean and tidy makes you feel good then how awesome it would feel to know the working mechanics and nuances as well..!
I once went to a good helmet & accessories store in my city. The owner ran the shop & is a proper petrolhead, he has an imported italian superbike & a maxi scooter that he maintains himself & imports parts as needed. Although its not for me, i respect his passion. If i were so hands on, i'd have done mechanical engg & joined the automobile industry 😊
I'm currently in the middle of trying my hand at bike repair with my 1st bike 😅 My cbr150r wasn't charging properly so I first went and got the battery checked , which was old and got told I should replace it. Fair enough got that done, still the problem persisted 🙄 unless I kept the revs fairly high the battery would discharge within a few days. So I did some digging and found a potential culprit (a bolt in the engine could back out and damages the stator coil dropping the volts it generates ) opening the engine was clearly not an option for me so I decided to take it to the Honda service center where I got a quote for near about 10k 😅 which may be reasonable for a new bike, but it was about 25% of my whole bikes worth 💀. So I decided to give it a go on my own. And instead of replacing the stator I would get it re-wound. I bought some tools and engine oil, referred all the youtube videos there were related to it and got to disassembling the bike. This part went smoothly 😌, problems came when I went to get the replacement gasket and few other parts that I thought I might as well replace, out of all the shops near me, not one had those parts in stock not even the service center. Back to the Internet for solution where I came to know you could make your own gaskets with a sheet of gasket material. Which I went and bought, but have yet to try and cut(thats a task & a ½ 😅) and stator coil is with my boss who said he knows a guy who fixes these. So that's where I am 😅 half of my bike is in my parking, all it's farings are at my home (nice and polished 😝) and some of its guts are in another city 🫢 ... Its a new experience what ever the outcome ✌️, it feels challenging for sure but I guess better learn on an old affordable kit rather than making expensive mistakes down the line.
2 years ago when we got our first family bike (Classic 350 BS6 Uce). I was in college. I didn't know much about bikes. How they function. How you are supposed to take care of them. Nothing. The bike was bought in Jharkhand and I was studying in Bangalore. So the only time i would get to know my bike was during the semester breaks. That helped to stay connected with it. As soon as my engineering got over and I got a job. We brought the bike to Bangalore. It has been 10 months since I have been the sole owner and care taker of the bike. Let me tell you, this is the most I have ever known about bikes let alone my own bike. Also this has allowed me to make new friends who know my bike better ( mechanic bhaiyas). Taking care of your bike. Knowing about how it functions. This enables you to consciously and confidently troubleshoot most of the problems you might face regarding your bike. I would say I agree with Kartikeya Sir 100% and that its not hard to be aware of your bike's functionality.
Had a problem once while driving Wego back in 2016, had basic knowledge on carbs and engine from the days of TVS max 100 delux which my dad owned and he used to do few DIY stuff back in the days. while driving engine stuttered. giving more acceleration felt like engine will cutout, makes that suffocation noise. to test i pulled the choke and bike maintained 10-15kmph, didn't stall. and went back to throttle it suffocates. thought that main jet is clogged. a tiny particle got lodged in the jet. choke gave me enough pull so i can make it to a tree shade since i was highway. had my tools. opened the card blew the jet refitted and all went well. since then having owned Ntorq and going to own RTR310 i do love tinkering and knowing things better each and everytime. barely had any problems since then as a precaution i do prepare the vehicles well for their big day.
Well said❤👌👌👌 Have been doing few things myself on my FZ like cleaning chain and lubing it, clean both sprockets. It's a kind of satisfaction for me rather than spending 200+ Rs in authorized service centre just for chain clean and lubing. I also spend time with my local mechanic watching him while working on my bike, rather than just dropping off bike and collecting bike later on. By default I pay extra to my local mechanic for the great job he does and his expertise. This point mentioned by Shumi in one of the previous video is great too.❤️👌👌👌
Yes. I opened the back bumper of my city and installed the camera. This involved removing the rear passenger seat as well. Guess what! when I fixed the camera and completed the circuit from the brake lights, the camera turned out to be fixed upside down. It was locked by the clip, and I was running out of ideas on how to rotate it 180 degrees to calibrate it properly...but somehow got it undone and done again...of course I had to go through a number of TH-cam videos to understand the circuit and the processes involved. This maiden experience of opening bumper of a car gave me so much of a sense of achievement, that I opened the rear bumper of brio as well and cleaned its insides and the rear lights casings thoroughly...few months later I opened the dashboard of my 8 year old brio and did the cleaning job and fixed the audio which was coming loose of its clips and bolts....so when I share my DIY experience with my friends and relatives...they hardly believe me....the more we do some basic maintenance jobs of our machines...the more knowledge we gain about them ... For instance, I changed the brake switch of brio, it's horn or headlights or often I remove the wiper blades of my car on my own ... These decisions are not taken by a mechanic for me...these decisions are always mine...this is my habit to be very friendly with the mechanics who work on my vehicle ... I watch them and try to gain knowledge and pick the ideas...where I can do the chores myself....this practice of dirtying your hands with cars should not remain confined to automobiles alone, this should hold equally true with other household items like home appliances, water heaters, upgrading computers, door phones, surveillance system, basic carpentry jobs, paint jobs, pasting wallpapers, gardening....and the list goes on and on....😊 These are the demands of the times as well...as our economy is also growing in this direction...that affording a man-power for basic jobs is going to get challenging in the coming days....😄
100% i love to work with my vehicle. During my bicycle days i know how to tight breaks, adjust chain, adjust handles, But in case on bike i a little bit dare to spoil my bike so i only do lubing. But i am planning to learn this on our old rx100.
Good video for why DIY. Thanks for making it. Now as a newbie in the process of buying a bike, I'd request a second video. Perhaps a series. Future videos can dive into major parts of the bike I should become familiar with first for DIY purposes. As a newbie but maybe also as an experienced biker. I'd prioritize according to importance and then ease. For a simple example, chain maintenance. That's obviously very important. What do I need to do and how? When? Then I'd get into additional parts of the bike I should be able to repair myself. I'd want to know what tools I need as well for 1) keeping at home for repairs done there, 2) tools I should carry with me while on a short/day tour and 3) tools for lengthier tours. I'm sure the bike breakdowns in short and long trips could differ and therefore tools would be different in each scenario. Basically, if I follow your thinking, which I like and want to do, please help me take the next steps in DIY proficiency. I'm sure your other viewers may find such a series helpful, fun, and interesting. I know I would. Thanks guys. Enjoy your channel!
True said.. I love to work on my bike and car. After fixing small small things gives another level of satisfaction. There are many advantages to do our hand dirty like you will know your vechicle much better. You will start respecting your machine cause you know what will go wrong when you abused it. Each time you will learn new things. You will start searching and trying new things for vechicle which suits your driving and vehicle.And the biggest advantage is no one will scammed you for your vechicle problem. Most of time mechanist scammed you when then come to know that your not having basic knowledge of vehicle. In simple words IF YOU TAKE OF YOUR MACHINE; MACHINE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU.
now since you mentioned this I used to do- claying/compounding/polishing/waxing on my US car once in 2-3 months and that used to take 2-3 hours of effort but 8 yrs old car was like brand new
I agree with everything that kartikey had to say for starters I would recommend getting a ratchet set from taparia which does cost about rs 2000 anything to get some bigger shape spaner. You could start working
My DIY journey started from my bicycle as a hobby, then shifted to my trusty Aviator as Honda dealer used to not put all screws where they were supposed to be and not to the optimum quality that I would’ve liked, then again it shifted to my dad’s year 2000 alto in which almost all wires were crispy as a dry noodle.. fortunately it was very easy for me to grasp technical things and move around, But to my sad surprise when i saw my i20 N-Line’s engine bay I was shook completely as there’s not much you could do without actually ripping things apart 😓🥺 not even manually setting the headlight’s level.
I do all the lubing and oil changes along with air filters and spark plugs and also chain slack adjustments. I wish I had a garage at my home. Some things require a garage and should not be attempted on the roads😅. I would have opened my Yamaha FZ inside out if I had a garage😊
Recently I have started repairing the rear wiper blade of my Ford Freestyle as replacement is not available in open market and the OEM part is ridiculously priced. I just buy any good wiper blade available in market and cut its rubber to size and replace the original rubber with it.
I remember the first time I tried to install HID Projector on my 2009 Yamaha Fazer 150. I had to remove the entire headlight assembly, take out the glass/fiber part heating the joints with a 150Rs hair dryer and then install the Projectors. I blew up 9 fuses in total coz I was struggling with the wiring setup. Did that stop me from trying? Naah. That in fact that encouraged me to try more. Fast forward to 2023, I can fix most issues with my Xpulse and Ninja 300. What hasn't changed it, after completing the job I will always have 1 or 2 nuts and bolts and press clips left out. 😂😂 DIY can get punishing but it's worth every bit. Thanks a lot for inspiring enthusiasts to learn getting their hands dirty.
Bwahahaha! Finding “spares” at the end of the reassembly can make you break a sweat! 🤣 Safe riding! And thanks for sharing. Loved reading about your trip!
Please make a basic tasks tutorial using a common 125cc-200cc popular bike. I just checked the oil and lubed the chain for the first time ever during Dasara festival cleaning and it felt so good.
In my quest for betterment, instead of replacing the mufflers of my Maruti, Santro i used to cut open the rusted covers and weld stainless steel plates in the original frames and believe me it never thereafter needed replacement other than the tail pipes which were replaced with copper pipes of appropriate dimensions. Many may not be knowing that a properly tuned car will generate water which accumulate in the exhaust pipes and mufflers and replacing them with non corrosive materials will solve the problems for all times😊
That’s amazing! We would love to hear more details if you could take time out! Thanks in advance. Did you replicate the OE designs or make your own flow?
@motorinc The frontal and distal ends of the Original mufflers were reused and only the rusted cylinderical sheets were replaced with Stainless steel sheet to prevent corrosion and the 1.5 " rusted pipes connected with the mufflers were replaced by welding with copper pipes which are usually available in shops stocking airconditing spares
Haha I've been my dad's assistant in this stuff since i was 10 or something I know how to fix the small things, and like what Engine oil the car or scooter needs, checking all the fluids, instrument cluster warnings, how to take apart and put in the new battery....etc etc
I did a brake bleed on my Duke 390 last month. Despite doing a regular service every six months for the past two years, nobody at the KTM showroom thought to check the brake fluid (despite probably billing me for it).
I mean I can’t agree more to everything said. You need to work on your machine to know it better. Period. We at Bangalore have formed a group of people who love fixing their bikes. And credits to @bikenbiker1580 for giving us a “Co-working Space” where we can work on our bikes in one of their bays! This culture needs to spread everywhere!!
One evening I fiddled with one screw on family activa's carburettor. My intention was to get more fuel economy since i rode it for my tution classes. But after the class got over the thing wouldn't start. Had to call mom to pick me up, then she took a mechanic the next day & he fixed it. She still don't know that her son caused the trouble:)
Great learnings from Karthikeya sir. I request you to post some DIY videos in MotorInc's fashion so that we as newbies can learn and implement things better.
When I was much younger, I heard a person wiser and more experienced than me, say this about everything they owned. "I don't really feel like I own something until I clean it/service it." I decided at that age to consciously explore and try this outlook in life, and good heavens, it has created some of the most intimate connections with my possessions, which I do genuinely feel is something that I would have sorely missed out on otherwise Great one as usual, MotorINC team!
Here is my experience with the TVS service guys after which I too started doing basic service (Oil changes, basic parts replacement etc) on my own. For my second service on my Ntorq, they decided to do Carb cleaning (For cold start issue). Anyway, carb cleaning would not have helped in this issue but I didn't say anything. Now the 'expert mechanic' had become lazy and instead handed the job to a literal fresh out of ITI mechanic. That was probably his first week. While returning back, after the service, I was overtaking a truck and opened the throttle, and imagine my shock, when it got stuck at WOT and the scooter kept accelerating. I would have crashed with the oncoming traffic and missed narrowly. Thankfully, TVS engineers aren't as stupid as their service guys and they have provided a Kill switch on Ntorq which I used immediately and avoided an accident. Anyway, I was angry and called back they service guy and blasted him on the phone. Next day they sent experienced mechanics to my home. Turns out, the noob guy had just kept the throttle slide inside the carb (to which the jet pin is attached) on a dusty surface. The little bit of dust friction locked at WOT. They had to sand down the throttle slide a bit. That was the last time I visited service centre. It's been 5 years now. Next step is Tapet adjustment and opening the CVT gearbox for cleaning which I will do soon.
If you love your machine, there's no better way of getting close to it than DIY. Period. Start with small like changing the parking lights to changing oils/fluids to more as you get confidence and time (I know, it's the latter which holds me back now.) Even my earlier fond memories with my old man, who is rather stern and not easy to approach have been when we were working together on his scooter. Fiddling with the carb to changing the spare wheel - oh yeah, those were part of old scooters! Now they don't even offer in half cases in 4wheelers around the world! I certainly will play in the mud with my kid and will work with him on our machines. P.S. Do tip your mechanic, they don't make much and do a lot of physical labor, and they'll be extra careful and nice with your machine next time. Oh, and be polite with them. You will thank yourself later for it.
@@motorinc That's true. But if done the wrong way, you are harming not only yourselves, but others in the road. Majority of our folks can't even drive on a lane properly. Don't have patience to let pedestrians pass through. I don't trust them with brake tampering.
Hey guys, absolutely love your videos, however I have one suggestion... scrolling through and binging 10-15 episodes of ThisConnect and also through your videos, I have noticed a big problem in audio engineering and its inconsistency. Everything is perfect but one episode I am at 30% volume and at next even 15% feels too loud. Also, in many cases even in your regular videos, the conversations are just at two very different volumes, and it's hard to listen to it comfortably. Love you guys
Thanks Sahil for the feedback. Some of our old videos had serious inconsistencies with audio. We fixed it in some of our new content, we will try and resolve these issues soon.
I just cleaned and lubed my 2 month gunky chain i still have some in my hand what are these recommendations 🤣😅, it also gave me a chance to see damages from my yesterdays crash i ordered a new break pedal for it maybe I'll just observe geeting it fixed on my next due service. 😅
why not start some content with these simple maintenance things , like 1. Sparkplugs , ignitions coils , brake pads , tyre changes, punctures , oil change, air filter change, ac filter change, cleaning sensors like map, o2 , etc. that would be great
Once on the pune mumbai expressway I had a flat. Luckily wasn't driving fast as I had kids onboard. Those days helpline services were not very responsive and had never used them, So I got down to change the tire..... And LoL..... I couldn't figure out where the spare wheel was as I was in a borrowed Honda mobilio. I had to call my friend to ask him.... "Abbe , teri gaadi mein spare tyre kidhar hai "😂😂. From that incident onwards whenever I am driving an unfamiliar car I always check the spare ,tool box, Jack, fuel switch /lever and other stuff so that I don't have to figure it out and feel stupid 😅😊😊
Hey, I own a 2021 Pulsar RS200 BS6 and I have done 19,000km on it. Over the last 2000km I have noticed a jerky / choppy throttle response at low RPMs in 1st and 2nd gear. This happens only during the first start of the day. It feels like the bike is choking or there's no fuel. I have noticed a similar problem when the bike is running very hot in bumper-to-bumper traffic. My fuel filler was change at 16K km along with the air filter. It would be great to understand if you'll know anything about this problem. Thanks
I was fixing a puncture on my motorcycle and my neighbour came to me and said wah 10 rupya bacha liya🤣 poor little soul hates my motorcycle, actually he hates the exhaust but bleh🤣
My nana used to take apart his Diesel bullet part by part and put it together as annual maintenance, I used to be the assistant 🚀 he's no more, but memories ❤️
That's so sweet!! Those memories will stay on forever.
Engaging in DIY maintenance on my bike and car transformed me into a proficient rider and driver. Formerly, my vehicles were merely utilitarian appliances, but after taking on tasks like oil changes and brake overhauls, my relationship with them evolved. I now relish the act of riding with greater satisfaction, deriving a sense of pride from my hands-on involvement. Furthermore, it has allowed me to delve into the fascinating realm of automotive tools, equipping me with the capability to disassemble and reassemble a car.
Though I typically refrain from leaving comments on videos, I felt compelled to express my appreciation for your exceptional content. Your channel stands out in delivering unique and valuable material that sets you apart from other TH-camrs. Thank you once again for the insightful video.
Hi, Aslam. We are glad to see form a deeper connect with your car after carrying out regular maintenance jobs. There's no better way to form a bond with a machine. And yes, automotive tools are a quite the world that a DIY person would explore.
Thank you for appreciating our work ❤️
I have been working on my cars for the last 18 years, though limited to changing engine oil, spark plugs, swapping winter tires/wheels, and washing/interior cleaning. It's a great way to connect and listen to your machine and gives you joy that is a bit hard to explain. Totally agree with you.
Oh wow! You would have been able to spot so many things in the process! Do share if you have any learnings/stories! Thanks in advance!
Yes please! A beginner's guide to getting hands dirty!
My father and I used to work on our bikes quite often and I once completely disassembled my second hand apache (not the engine but everything except that) for cleaning and fixing the non working indicators it was fun even disassembled the LH switch set to remove rust from the plate so the indicator works and it did 😂 it was quite a shock to my mom when she saw what condition the bike was in but i tucked the wiring better that what TVS did from factory and used super glue to fix some broken parts and used an eraser to damp the sound from the tank vibrating learned a lot and gave me the confidence to ride that thing knowing it can be fixed, even though I overpaid and it wasnt what they said it was
Well, all is well that ends well. Glad you took to working on your bike.
For people saying ok I can't do all those, start with washing the car/bike just wash it the right way, observe the details, observe the dents or scratches maybe try to remember how it happened and just appreciate what the vehicle has been through 😅 while washing observe the tyre, thread, etc. Just spend some time with it at stand still. You'll appreciate it.
What a lovely starting point! Agreed!
The way the dirt play part came to a full circle mannnn luv u guys
Right back at you! ❤️
My DIY journey started due to not having many service stations in my area for my CBR250R.
I got hold of a detailed service manual which I follow step by step.
Here's the list of things which I've done so far in the past 3 years:
Oil change.
Oil filter change.
Air filter change.
Coolant change.
Radiator and fan overhaul.
Got the alternator busted once due to short circuit so changed the alternator.
Front and rear brake pads change with cleaning.
Rear shock absorber change with prolink cleaning.
Regular chain cleaning and lubricating.
Where and how do you source the spare parts from? I have seen authorised service centers are generally reluctant to sell the spares alone..
I was someone who never liked bike much just road it for the sake of commuting. Once I started to work on my dads rx100 when I changed the seats and repainted the chaingaurd and mounted the headlights and mirrors for FC renewal and I cleaned the whole bike and made it ready for inspection and discovered the improvements it did to the motor cycle. That’s when I fell in love with the concept of riding. I am a car guy but this experience changed the way I saw things. Now am ready to get my first bike.
Oh wow! All the best! Keep us posted!
Love it ❤❤ Working on your 2/4 wheels is one of the closest things to connect with your machines. 😊
We agree!
I can totally relate with the major screw-up during exploration and urge to fix something. Case in point, shearing off one of the three clutch blots on the R3, when I basically wanted to get a closer look inside the engine, or at least the gearbox side. A couple of thuds from the father and lots of sounding later, the R3 was put back with the two bolts and ridden to the workshop, where even the mechanic ended up laughing at my brilliance. But it taught me that I needed a torque wrench and to read a service manual if I wanted to open up bikes further😂😂😂
Every word in this channel is addictive and therepy.
Thanks, Yash! That means a lot to us.
Absolutely right👌👍
True.
The first thing that I did myself on my bike was replace the old wiring harness which was destroyed by rats when my P180 classic was in storage for 3 months. I placed an order with 99rpm for the harness which arrived in 4 days. Then it was just removing the tank and headlight, and replacing the harness and reinstalling the headlight and tank. These days I try to do almost everything that I can do in the time that I do have for all my bikes - 2011 P220, Activa 3G, 1982 RE Bullet 350, and NTorq RXP BS6. I do not let anyone else even touch the electricals except where a PCB is involved which is still beyond the scope of my rudimentary skills. I can change engine oils, replace clutch, brake, speedo cables, replace brake pads on disks, replace spark plugs, air filters, etc. I even learned how to properly set the CB point system and the carb on my old RE. I go to the Mechanic only when some specialized tool which I do not have access to is required to get the job done or there is some mechanical issue with the engine. In the case of cars, I did install reversing camera and monitor on Lancer, Corsa and Safari Dicor. I accidently drilled through the boot locking mechanism in the Corsa which had to be repaired as the boot would not lock. I have replaced the 65W halogen lamps 100W ones, which involved installing a separate harness, also tried HIDs and LEDs on them. I have replaced the cassette audio systems to CD/mp3 systems and those to bluetooth and touch screens, replaced speakers which went bad, replace horns with trumpet type ones with relay wiring, basically as long as the issue is not mechanical, I try to do it myself.
Wow! You are truly Mr. DIY. Those are some pretty impressive accomplishments. Well done!
Barring occasions when I'm out of necessary tools, I repair my motorcycle.
This includes washing, changing engine oil, air and oil filters, wheel balancing, chain cleaning, and cleaning carburettor, etc., 😎
It helps you know your machine inside our. 🎯
Wheel balancing too! How? Do let us know! Thanks!
Maintaining a bike by working on it gives same level of pleasure as riding it. It is like artist doing painting with colours all over his hands.
Ohh!! Poetic! Although we’re imagining greasy hands! 😆
This one right here is an absolute gem! So much to learn and the one thing you said - HEART & SOUL INTO IT. This video has been very encouraging to me to go and listen to my car & bike so that I can uplift their routinely maintenance & service schedule in a way which makes me interact with them more & more rather than just observing the things.
🤜🏽🤛🏽
I think I can try replacing the right side blinker fluid and topping up the left side Blinker fluid today…
So true, the love towards our machine increases as we get our hands dirty.
Oh no! Hopefully you didn’t mix them up! Especially the front left with the rear left blinker fluid. Be sure to mark and store them separately. 😯
🤣🤣
Could not agree with you more ever. This is the very essence of why "You should always know to take care of the things you own, ON YOUR OWN." and never ever rely on other people to clean your stuff ALWAYS.

It iş the best way to learn about bikes/care. We had a relatable incident where we were coming back from a trip and we need to cover approximately 100km . It was already 8:00 PM and one of my friend’s lights went out. Me and another friend of mine had similar experience and we knew it is related to the fuse box. We figured it out fixed it and came back safely. It is the smallest things can help you. 😊
I absolutely enjoy servicing and repairing my own bike!!!! Every single time!!
🙌
Heartening video. I have been a keen disciple of this theme since a kid and enjoy doing this when ever possible. Remember cleaning my RX 100 chain in Kerosene and dipping it in a pot containing boiling Grease and then keeping it in freezer . The smoothness thereafter was like a boat sailing over a river. Believe me such chain greasing practise enhanced the life of chain till 96,000 KMS😊.
That's awesome. It's a different unique feeling of doing small stuff with our own hands. 👌👌
I always try to do it.
Woah! That’s a lot more intense than what we get away with today! Spray. Wipe. Spray.
Would love to know more about this method and the 96k life, incredible!
@@motorincI read this method of chain greasing from a foreign magazine and trust me it was worth it though it entailed boiling Grease in a pan and dipping the chain and thereafter keeping it in a freezer thereby allowing the Grease to settle down inside the rollers .
Sadly, I cannot repeat this process for my Gixxer Ronin since I feel the boiling Grease may damage the rubbers of these O ring chains.
The satisfaction we get just after changing the wiper blade by own can't be replaced
Exactly!
so much practical and logical things , did the mistakes you said too, can relate so much. As yash said every word is precise , eye opener and Knowledge +++++++:)
Glad you liked it
I always fix small things by my self
And if mechanic doing something I watch carefully to learn it
That's one way to ensure that you use your time efficiently at the mechanics.
That's what my dad did, thus our vehicle barely visited workshops ever since the first few years😂.
Thank you Kartikeya Sir 🙏🏻 ,
I already took the first step, like cleaning and lubing chain, checking and adjusting cables, touch-up paint job to remove scuff marks or rust, installing extra break lights, washing my motorcycle, etc. Still I am really sacred of going further to tasks like removing tyres, spark plug, break callipers, etc.
What you shared, meant a lot. Your words are wise enough to encourage me to relax, be fearless and just try. I should be ready to make mistakes and push myself further to learn more.
Next time, I won't hesitate to get my hands dirty.
I totally agree with you. I have done all I could to my car. Done polishing, clay bar, ceramic, washer fluid, windshield water repellent, etc. I did damage my car at some place but I still felt good doing this because it made my bond stronger with my car.
Well done!
I totally agree with you,
I got scorpio n z2 and got it's roof rails, chrome parts, foot step, led bulbs, matts from market and fixed it myself just parked it side of the road and with my father fixed all this in 3-4 hours, it was fun and good way of bonding
Now I'm planning to fix my xcent radiator support with iron frame diy way, it makes me feel alive
Great one bro ❤
I always love working with vehicles. I used to work on my bike & my parents & gf are like "why should you do this, get it done from some shops".
I do have a go to person for my bike. Anything everything anytime... That's my guy... He helps me identify stuff the way you were telling about your unicorn.
I would love to see some kinda DIY videos soon from you guys, like changing the brake pads, adjusting the chain tensioner, etc on bikes & cars.
You can try something. Even if that's not possible, you can try shooting it from a well known garage that you guys trust.
I know, if you guys make one it will be informative.
TH-cam already has videos from diff channels for such stuff. But yours will be special & this channel will be like a go to place for anything related to 2 & 4 wheelers.
With lots of love to MotorInc team ❤
Thank you, Aravind! That's very kind of you to say so. We can surely try to make DIY videos in our own style.
@@motorincthat would be great ❤
@@motorinc Wow! Look forward to it! A full *"Do-It-Yourself"* playlist!
Hi Kartikeya very well said.. i really like the small spark that you have tried to ignite in all of us.. really that so true..
Thank you Kartikeya for reminding us again.. and Thank you @Motorinc Team
Not at all! Thanks for being a part of the conversation!
I remember as a kid, I used to sit beside the mechanic who used to come to service my father's car. It always used to fascinate me watching take apart so many little things and then putting them back together. My curiosity back then was just that. Just taking things apart and putting them back on. From replacing smaller parts like the parking light bulb on my scooty or bolting on a pair of crash guards. The more screws I took out, the deeper my curiosity and thrill grew. Now, even when I own a much more expensive machine, I guess it is that deep rooted curious kid in me who gives me the confidence of opening up my bike and observing what is there, reading manuals, watching videos. And the confidence that I'll be able to handle the basic repairs by myself on the road if needed happens to be just a byproduct of that curiosity. The best part is, we just need to know and understand about that one model of car/bike/scooter that we own. Invest that time. Get closer to the machine you own. Just imagine, if keeping it clean and tidy makes you feel good then how awesome it would feel to know the working mechanics and nuances as well..!
Awesome! Yeah - just cleaning the bike gives you a sense of connection. ❤️
I once went to a good helmet & accessories store in my city. The owner ran the shop & is a proper petrolhead, he has an imported italian superbike & a maxi scooter that he maintains himself & imports parts as needed. Although its not for me, i respect his passion. If i were so hands on, i'd have done mechanical engg & joined the automobile industry 😊
It’s a blessing,I guess,to be part of this channel.
I'm currently in the middle of trying my hand at bike repair with my 1st bike 😅
My cbr150r wasn't charging properly so I first went and got the battery checked , which was old and got told I should replace it. Fair enough got that done, still the problem persisted 🙄 unless I kept the revs fairly high the battery would discharge within a few days. So I did some digging and found a potential culprit (a bolt in the engine could back out and damages the stator coil dropping the volts it generates ) opening the engine was clearly not an option for me so I decided to take it to the Honda service center where I got a quote for near about 10k 😅 which may be reasonable for a new bike, but it was about 25% of my whole bikes worth 💀.
So I decided to give it a go on my own. And instead of replacing the stator I would get it re-wound.
I bought some tools and engine oil, referred all the youtube videos there were related to it and got to disassembling the bike.
This part went smoothly 😌, problems came when I went to get the replacement gasket and few other parts that I thought I might as well replace, out of all the shops near me, not one had those parts in stock not even the service center. Back to the Internet for solution where I came to know you could make your own gaskets with a sheet of gasket material. Which I went and bought, but have yet to try and cut(thats a task & a ½ 😅) and stator coil is with my boss who said he knows a guy who fixes these.
So that's where I am 😅 half of my bike is in my parking, all it's farings are at my home (nice and polished 😝) and some of its guts are in another city 🫢 ...
Its a new experience what ever the outcome ✌️, it feels challenging for sure but I guess better learn on an old affordable kit rather than making expensive mistakes down the line.
Learning from mistakes is the best way to learn, I pretty sure you won't be again opening up your engine without a replacement gasket in hand 😅.
@@aslamrasheed that's for damn sure 🤣👂👌
Haha! Keep at it! The best bit is yet to come - when you put it all back together! 😆 All the best!
2 years ago when we got our first family bike (Classic 350 BS6 Uce). I was in college. I didn't know much about bikes. How they function. How you are supposed to take care of them. Nothing. The bike was bought in Jharkhand and I was studying in Bangalore. So the only time i would get to know my bike was during the semester breaks. That helped to stay connected with it. As soon as my engineering got over and I got a job. We brought the bike to Bangalore. It has been 10 months since I have been the sole owner and care taker of the bike. Let me tell you, this is the most I have ever known about bikes let alone my own bike. Also this has allowed me to make new friends who know my bike better ( mechanic bhaiyas). Taking care of your bike. Knowing about how it functions. This enables you to consciously and confidently troubleshoot most of the problems you might face regarding your bike. I would say I agree with Kartikeya Sir 100% and that its not hard to be aware of your bike's functionality.
All the best Hrithik! You will only enjoy your time with it more! 👍🏽 Thanks for sharing your journey!
Had a problem once while driving Wego back in 2016, had basic knowledge on carbs and engine from the days of TVS max 100 delux which my dad owned and he used to do few DIY stuff back in the days. while driving engine stuttered. giving more acceleration felt like engine will cutout, makes that suffocation noise. to test i pulled the choke and bike maintained 10-15kmph, didn't stall. and went back to throttle it suffocates. thought that main jet is clogged. a tiny particle got lodged in the jet. choke gave me enough pull so i can make it to a tree shade since i was highway. had my tools. opened the card blew the jet refitted and all went well. since then having owned Ntorq and going to own RTR310 i do love tinkering and knowing things better each and everytime. barely had any problems since then as a precaution i do prepare the vehicles well for their big day.
Thanks for narrating that to us! ❤️
Good One and let's not limit it just to vehicles.
Well said❤👌👌👌
Have been doing few things myself on my FZ like cleaning chain and lubing it, clean both sprockets.
It's a kind of satisfaction for me rather than spending 200+ Rs in authorized service centre just for chain clean and lubing.
I also spend time with my local mechanic watching him while working on my bike, rather than just dropping off bike and collecting bike later on.
By default I pay extra to my local mechanic for the great job he does and his expertise. This point mentioned by Shumi in one of the previous video is great too.❤️👌👌👌
Awesome! Thanks for letting us know Girish!
Best thing iv heard all year
Thank you!!
I think a video on doing basic oil change of bikes, scooters & checking essential basic servicing would be huge !
Hey CP! Recco noted! Thanks!
Yes. I opened the back bumper of my city and installed the camera. This involved removing the rear passenger seat as well. Guess what! when I fixed the camera and completed the circuit from the brake lights, the camera turned out to be fixed upside down. It was locked by the clip, and I was running out of ideas on how to rotate it 180 degrees to calibrate it properly...but somehow got it undone and done again...of course I had to go through a number of TH-cam videos to understand the circuit and the processes involved. This maiden experience of opening bumper of a car gave me so much of a sense of achievement, that I opened the rear bumper of brio as well and cleaned its insides and the rear lights casings thoroughly...few months later I opened the dashboard of my 8 year old brio and did the cleaning job and fixed the audio which was coming loose of its clips and bolts....so when I share my DIY experience with my friends and relatives...they hardly believe me....the more we do some basic maintenance jobs of our machines...the more knowledge we gain about them ... For instance, I changed the brake switch of brio, it's horn or headlights or often I remove the wiper blades of my car on my own ... These decisions are not taken by a mechanic for me...these decisions are always mine...this is my habit to be very friendly with the mechanics who work on my vehicle ... I watch them and try to gain knowledge and pick the ideas...where I can do the chores myself....this practice of dirtying your hands with cars should not remain confined to automobiles alone, this should hold equally true with other household items like home appliances, water heaters, upgrading computers, door phones, surveillance system, basic carpentry jobs, paint jobs, pasting wallpapers, gardening....and the list goes on and on....😊 These are the demands of the times as well...as our economy is also growing in this direction...that affording a man-power for basic jobs is going to get challenging in the coming days....😄
Awesome! Thanks for sharing @mavericksohel!
Thanks a lot..... You guys make sensible videos.....
100% i love to work with my vehicle. During my bicycle days i know how to tight breaks, adjust chain, adjust handles, But in case on bike i a little bit dare to spoil my bike so i only do lubing. But i am planning to learn this on our old rx100.
Awesome! Keep us posted!
Sheri's garage in Pune was my go to spot, spent many evenings and days off just absorbing the decades of experiences and stories of bikes.
Yes! It's a great way to spend the afternoon for sure!
Agreed 💯🙌
🙌
Lovely video!.. you guys should do a podcast on it. Also I don't know if it's possible a video series of small videos on how to repair your car/bike 😅
That's a great idea!
Good video for why DIY. Thanks for making it.
Now as a newbie in the process of buying a bike, I'd request a second video. Perhaps a series.
Future videos can dive into major parts of the bike I should become familiar with first for DIY purposes. As a newbie but maybe also as an experienced biker.
I'd prioritize according to importance and then ease. For a simple example, chain maintenance. That's obviously very important. What do I need to do and how? When?
Then I'd get into additional parts of the bike I should be able to repair myself.
I'd want to know what tools I need as well for 1) keeping at home for repairs done there, 2) tools I should carry with me while on a short/day tour and 3) tools for lengthier tours.
I'm sure the bike breakdowns in short and long trips could differ and therefore tools would be different in each scenario.
Basically, if I follow your thinking, which I like and want to do, please help me take the next steps in DIY proficiency.
I'm sure your other viewers may find such a series helpful, fun, and interesting. I know I would.
Thanks guys. Enjoy your channel!
what a way to start this video.. fantastic exposition
😆 Thank you!
True said.. I love to work on my bike and car. After fixing small small things gives another level of satisfaction. There are many advantages to do our hand dirty like you will know your vechicle much better. You will start respecting your machine cause you know what will go wrong when you abused it. Each time you will learn new things. You will start searching and trying new things for vechicle which suits your driving and vehicle.And the biggest advantage is no one will scammed you for your vechicle problem. Most of time mechanist scammed you when then come to know that your not having basic knowledge of vehicle. In simple words IF YOU TAKE OF YOUR MACHINE; MACHINE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU.
now since you mentioned this I used to do- claying/compounding/polishing/waxing on my US car once in 2-3 months and that used to take 2-3 hours of effort but 8 yrs old car was like brand new
Heya HV! What’s the routine like now?
Very nicely worded, resonates deep!
Thank you kindly!
I agree with everything that kartikey had to say for starters I would recommend getting a ratchet set from taparia which does cost about rs 2000 anything to get some bigger shape spaner. You could start working
Talaria! Indian gold!
My DIY journey started from my bicycle as a hobby,
then shifted to my trusty Aviator as Honda dealer used to not put all screws where they were supposed to be and not to the optimum quality that I would’ve liked,
then again it shifted to my dad’s year 2000 alto in which almost all wires were crispy as a dry noodle.. fortunately it was very easy for me to grasp technical things and move around,
But to my sad surprise when i saw my i20 N-Line’s engine bay I was shook completely as there’s not much you could do without actually ripping things apart 😓🥺 not even manually setting the headlight’s level.
Bittersweet. Wish we could. Glad we don’t have to. 🤷♂️
I do all the lubing and oil changes along with air filters and spark plugs and also chain slack adjustments. I wish I had a garage at my home. Some things require a garage and should not be attempted on the roads😅.
I would have opened my Yamaha FZ inside out if I had a garage😊
Dr. Nipun, we see!
Recently I have started repairing the rear wiper blade of my Ford Freestyle as replacement is not available in open market and the OEM part is ridiculously priced. I just buy any good wiper blade available in market and cut its rubber to size and replace the original rubber with it.
Now, that's a hack!
I remember the first time I tried to install HID Projector on my 2009 Yamaha Fazer 150. I had to remove the entire headlight assembly, take out the glass/fiber part heating the joints with a 150Rs hair dryer and then install the Projectors. I blew up 9 fuses in total coz I was struggling with the wiring setup.
Did that stop me from trying? Naah. That in fact that encouraged me to try more.
Fast forward to 2023, I can fix most issues with my Xpulse and Ninja 300.
What hasn't changed it, after completing the job I will always have 1 or 2 nuts and bolts and press clips left out. 😂😂
DIY can get punishing but it's worth every bit.
Thanks a lot for inspiring enthusiasts to learn getting their hands dirty.
Bwahahaha! Finding “spares” at the end of the reassembly can make you break a sweat! 🤣 Safe riding!
And thanks for sharing. Loved reading about your trip!
We need a Podcast on this topic, detailing what you guys do/did. Kindly consider.
Thanks Abhishekh! Will keep that in mind!
Please make a basic tasks tutorial using a common 125cc-200cc popular bike. I just checked the oil and lubed the chain for the first time ever during Dasara festival cleaning and it felt so good.
Please make a detailed guide on how to get started with it❤
In my quest for betterment, instead of replacing the mufflers of my Maruti, Santro i used to cut open the rusted covers and weld stainless steel plates in the original frames and believe me it never thereafter needed replacement other than the tail pipes which were replaced with copper pipes of appropriate dimensions. Many may not be knowing that a properly tuned car will generate water which accumulate in the exhaust pipes and mufflers and replacing them with non corrosive materials will solve the problems for all times😊
That’s amazing! We would love to hear more details if you could take time out! Thanks in advance. Did you replicate the OE designs or make your own flow?
@motorinc The frontal and distal ends of the Original mufflers were reused and only the rusted cylinderical sheets were replaced with Stainless steel sheet to prevent corrosion and the 1.5 " rusted pipes connected with the mufflers were replaced by welding with copper pipes which are usually available in shops stocking airconditing spares
Haha I've been my dad's assistant in this stuff since i was 10 or something
I know how to fix the small things, and like what Engine oil the car or scooter needs, checking all the fluids, instrument cluster warnings, how to take apart and put in the new battery....etc etc
Say thanks to dad @vibhudoesntexist
@@motorinc haha and now.... I'm the one he asks before touching any specific part of the car or scooter
Mutual trust and interest got us where we are
Suggest any good book on motorcycle maintanance
I did a brake bleed on my Duke 390 last month. Despite doing a regular service every six months for the past two years, nobody at the KTM showroom thought to check the brake fluid (despite probably billing me for it).
How’d it go? Did you have the necessary tools? Thanks for keeping us posted!
DIY Weekends😍
Such a Great and simple idea
🙏🏾 Have you given it a shot?
Working on your car/bike makes you feel like you've earned your adventures.
I mean I can’t agree more to everything said. You need to work on your machine to know it better. Period.
We at Bangalore have formed a group of people who love fixing their bikes. And credits to @bikenbiker1580 for giving us a “Co-working Space” where we can work on our bikes in one of their bays! This culture needs to spread everywhere!!
Absolutely!! DIY is the way.
Good job, you're on your way, maybe halfway there. But don't start your sentence with 'I mean'. You know what I mean!
Just the act of thoroughly cleaning your motorcycle by yourself to start with will help you identify any issues like broken fork seal, tyre rim bent
Absolutely Rohan!
im astonished every time i hear someone say they're going to the server centre to get an oil change, an oil change!!
One evening I fiddled with one screw on family activa's carburettor.
My intention was to get more fuel economy since i rode it for my tution classes.
But after the class got over the thing wouldn't start.
Had to call mom to pick me up, then she took a mechanic the next day & he fixed it.
She still don't know that her son caused the trouble:)
Should have tagged along with the mechanic!
I miss your bike videos and reviews karthik
Wait for it!! We've lined up something.
Great learnings from Karthikeya sir. I request you to post some DIY videos in MotorInc's fashion so that we as newbies can learn and implement things better.
Hey Surya! Thanks so much for the recco! Anything in particular you were looking for?
Great videos you guys make 🤩
Thank you for being with us!
When I was much younger, I heard a person wiser and more experienced than me, say this about everything they owned.
"I don't really feel like I own something until I clean it/service it."
I decided at that age to consciously explore and try this outlook in life, and good heavens, it has created some of the most intimate connections with my possessions, which I do genuinely feel is something that I would have sorely missed out on otherwise
Great one as usual, MotorINC team!
Cleaning and oiling, putting right tyre pressure is the least everyone can do once a month
Absolutely!
Here is my experience with the TVS service guys after which I too started doing basic service (Oil changes, basic parts replacement etc) on my own. For my second service on my Ntorq, they decided to do Carb cleaning (For cold start issue). Anyway, carb cleaning would not have helped in this issue but I didn't say anything. Now the 'expert mechanic' had become lazy and instead handed the job to a literal fresh out of ITI mechanic. That was probably his first week. While returning back, after the service, I was overtaking a truck and opened the throttle, and imagine my shock, when it got stuck at WOT and the scooter kept accelerating. I would have crashed with the oncoming traffic and missed narrowly. Thankfully, TVS engineers aren't as stupid as their service guys and they have provided a Kill switch on Ntorq which I used immediately and avoided an accident. Anyway, I was angry and called back they service guy and blasted him on the phone. Next day they sent experienced mechanics to my home. Turns out, the noob guy had just kept the throttle slide inside the carb (to which the jet pin is attached) on a dusty surface. The little bit of dust friction locked at WOT. They had to sand down the throttle slide a bit. That was the last time I visited service centre. It's been 5 years now. Next step is Tapet adjustment and opening the CVT gearbox for cleaning which I will do soon.
Sounds awful, glad to know you're safe & did well with presence of mind in the panicky situation.
@@vm-my6hg Thanks. What I learnt is, Kill switch must be made mandatory by government.
If you love your machine, there's no better way of getting close to it than DIY. Period.
Start with small like changing the parking lights to changing oils/fluids to more as you get confidence and time (I know, it's the latter which holds me back now.)
Even my earlier fond memories with my old man, who is rather stern and not easy to approach have been when we were working together on his scooter. Fiddling with the carb to changing the spare wheel - oh yeah, those were part of old scooters! Now they don't even offer in half cases in 4wheelers around the world! I certainly will play in the mud with my kid and will work with him on our machines.
P.S. Do tip your mechanic, they don't make much and do a lot of physical labor, and they'll be extra careful and nice with your machine next time. Oh, and be polite with them. You will thank yourself later for it.
Thanks JPJ! ❤️ lovely last bit!
I don't think ordinary folks should tamper with brake pads. It's far too dangerous in my opinion. But knowing how tochange tyres etc is needed
If done the right way, there should be no harm.
@@motorinc That's true. But if done the wrong way, you are harming not only yourselves, but others in the road. Majority of our folks can't even drive on a lane properly. Don't have patience to let pedestrians pass through. I don't trust them with brake tampering.
Motorinc is sermon channel for octane head

Can you guys make a video on the Honda CB300F? A 300cc bike under 2 lakh.
Hey guys, absolutely love your videos, however I have one suggestion... scrolling through and binging 10-15 episodes of ThisConnect and also through your videos, I have noticed a big problem in audio engineering and its inconsistency. Everything is perfect but one episode I am at 30% volume and at next even 15% feels too loud. Also, in many cases even in your regular videos, the conversations are just at two very different volumes, and it's hard to listen to it comfortably. Love you guys
Thanks Sahil for the feedback. Some of our old videos had serious inconsistencies with audio. We fixed it in some of our new content, we will try and resolve these issues soon.
I just cleaned and lubed my 2 month gunky chain i still have some in my hand what are these recommendations 🤣😅, it also gave me a chance to see damages from my yesterdays crash i ordered a new break pedal for it maybe I'll just observe geeting it fixed on my next due service. 😅
Do it @shantanupawar3609 🙌
Kartikeya Sir is upping the wrist band game (looks similar to the 6k Ducati wrist band), upcoming competition to Shumi sir's wrist band 😂
Correction.. Rakhi.
@@motorinc wow, that's a tastefully selected Rakhi.
And there's me, who's afraid of even getting off my helmet's visor, as I'm having a fear of breaking it😅😂.
why not start some content with these simple maintenance things , like 1. Sparkplugs , ignitions coils , brake pads , tyre changes, punctures , oil change, air filter change, ac filter change, cleaning sensors like map, o2 , etc. that would be great
Thanks for the suggestions @knihar
Can we get video about cleaning cars and car cleaning products recommendations
We can definitely think about it.
❤️🔥❤️🔥

Once on the pune mumbai expressway I had a flat. Luckily wasn't driving fast as I had kids onboard. Those days helpline services were not very responsive and had never used them, So I got down to change the tire..... And LoL..... I couldn't figure out where the spare wheel was as I was in a borrowed Honda mobilio. I had to call my friend to ask him.... "Abbe , teri gaadi mein spare tyre kidhar hai "😂😂. From that incident onwards whenever I am driving an unfamiliar car I always check the spare ,tool box, Jack, fuel switch /lever and other stuff so that I don't have to figure it out and feel stupid 😅😊😊
Hey, I own a 2021 Pulsar RS200 BS6 and I have done 19,000km on it. Over the last 2000km I have noticed a jerky / choppy throttle response at low RPMs in 1st and 2nd gear. This happens only during the first start of the day. It feels like the bike is choking or there's no fuel.
I have noticed a similar problem when the bike is running very hot in bumper-to-bumper traffic.
My fuel filler was change at 16K km along with the air filter.
It would be great to understand if you'll know anything about this problem. Thanks
Where and how do I replace the blinker fluids for a car? My dad keeps on telling me to buy one from Amazon sale but I can't seem to find it.
If you meant brake fluids, they are available at spare parts shops.
Blinker fluid available in boodmo

Everytime. Everytime his pause is really irritating yarr.
He pauses because he is speaking from his heart. He isn't reading a script.
