It usually happen when you never change your brake fluid. It's boiling temp decrease when it absorb more water. So older water logged brake fluid boil easier
I had to lower my bike because I'm small. This includes lowering the front too. Thanks to upside-down forks it doesn't change how they work and doesn't limit travel. Sure you need to setup your suspension completely new for the new ride height but I don't feel a diffence at all. The only difference is that I stopped dropping my bike because my feet reach the ground now.
When strapping motorcycles with radially mounted brake calipers, just strap through the radial caliper mounts, and strap from the swing arm or rear wheel for the back half, then you don't need to compress or worry about the suspension at all.
@@johanjvdw I agree, I have one for warmer days and it has d3o lvl2 protectors, ykk zippers, double seems, invisible reflective markers, it's made out of material that's 50% aramid, it even has a thingy to keep the hood down so it wouldn't flap in the wind. And best of all, you can just wash it with your regular laundry.
@@johanjvdw Honestly idk the model because I just tried a bunch in a store and picked one that was most comfortable (because I have uncommon body proportions) but it's made by a Polish company named Shima. They make pretty great gear here but I'm not sure they export everything abroad (I know they export some boots).
I looked at an alpinestars hoody that was just over£200. It looked like a £40 hoody and the armour felt like cardboard. That was in a reputable store too.
The brake thing happened to me on my dirt bike, so it is very true. It spat out boiling fluid everywhere smoking like a cigarette as soon as I opened the nut. Watch out for your fingers
11:00 most likely wouldn't need to rebuild the engine; people race snowmobiles on water (watercross) and sink them all the time. They have a killswitch on a cord (like in the video) and a buoy that releases when it sinks to indicate the location, then they just pull it up and to the ground, drain the engine and it's running within 30min for the next race.
I feel like the epa would have a field day if they caught wind of it, I remember when a guy had his snowmobile sink in the Maumee river, they railed his ass
1:34 I probably have no idea what i am talking about, but he likely hasn't changed his break fluid in the past 10 years, and half of the break fluid is water now, iirc the hydraulic pressure in the break lines should be enough to bring the water to boil
"Plus it's just my rear brake foot" I had to make a clip just because of that lol, because it encapsulates how I feel right now. The TL;DR is that I was in a motorcycle accident from a (suspected to be drunk) pickup truck hitting me. I have a metal rod where my tibia and fibia (shin bones) once existed that connects my knee to my ankle, and have had 9 surgeries and more expected. It's been 24 days in the hospital now undergoing surgeries to keep my leg, but I cannot bend my ankle and can kind of wiggle my toes. Point being? At least it's not the gear shifter foot. If I keep my leg, I plan to put my rear brake on my handlebar. If I lose the leg.. well, I'll be looking to buy a Volvo, since falling down or crashing with a fake leg would mean I'd potentially have to get a replacement leg if the original gets damaged.
Some good Lols here for sure. The supermoto rider sliding down the hill backing it in is Brandon Paasch. He's a pro rider in MotoAmerica and puts on "slide clinics" if you want to learn how to do that.
@@ChaosCauses yeah, definitely on the short, and slow, side. He also said (in his Bennets vlog) that the sound in that hall was incredible. I wish I'd been there.
I saw all your TH-cam content and I feel like in this video I heard your real way of talking casual for the first time. Good video, take care, hope you recover soon.
The guy on the 310GS actually has a big GS, that was in the Netherlands at the Motorbeurs, he was just showcasing the different GS models and what they can do, not his own bike hahah. Also the full clip of the H2R indoor drag race, the guy does hit the wall at the end.
All electronic suspension does it adjust the clickers for you automatically. his seals blew out because they blew out. one of the downsides of traveling with the forks underload like that
4:22 So although this may be a bit TOO friendly. Yeah, always interact with kids. Actually have figures that hang from my rear helmet mount (domo, anime, adventure time) and sometimes give one to kids if they ask about them.
4:50 I dropped my bike hundreds of times when trying to put it on the centre stand 6:05 Oftentimes I greet motorbikers when I'm on a bike and cyclists when I'm on a motorbike 9:10 You're very lucky to have such a gf
lol the one with the "volcanoe" brakes looks like they have moisture in the brake lines, which is what's causing the steam. i've seen it happen with aircraft brake systems.
I wear a hoodie over my riding jacket because people get intimidated when they see me in riding gears and the number of times karens have tried to hit me with something just because I'm wearing riding gears and standing in line to pay for my icecream is insane so me and my friend just got hoodies custom made with really thin fabric so that we can practically wear them in any weather.
Though why you're tolerating assault... perhaps have your phone recording next time you get in line with people who could be Karens? Then dial the emergency number while recording... I don't like people getting away with assault just because they think they're entitled.
@@damianwright3690 it happens rarely and when it does they try to hit us with their hands we just laugh with at it and pay for our ice cream and leave🤣
You are incorrect about the brake fluid boiling, It indeed can. Had the freshly flushed front brake on my KLR drag just enough to heat up to the fluid boiling point which caused the front brake to clamp down. Had to open the bleeder and vent the steam/boiling fluid to get the caliper to release so I could get it off the road.
If there's one thing I've learned from biketok, it's that there are so many jokes to tell about motorcycling before they run out and it just becomes cringe.
A month ago I got hit by a r6 while I was riding supermotos with some friends and my left leg got broke pretty bad but I’ve been healing and I’m on track to be back riding by summer. But I’ve been zooming on the walker I have to use, it’s been weird not being able to wrench on stuff or carry things since I can’t put weight on the left leg but I can’t wait to get back out there!
Hey, I always wondered: why don't you go off road if your wheels aren't spoked? ...spoken? Bespoke? And also to take a swing the question in the video: every single person, I reckon. Every typical person on the planet puts their hand down when falling. A reflex we've had since we first encountered gravity as a species. All but involuntary. Even while you're thinking about not putting your hand out, you'll put your hand out. Even if you're bracing your fall into a pit of lava, you'll put your hand out to the lava. If the floor was all knives, so on and so forth...
If I have to guess as to why there's steam coming out of that caliper. It's probably because the pads worn off and the heat from the disc when you break, heated the pads and the caliper.
You would be surprised how many "well i can only have one bike, might as well be multi puropse" people take cast wheels ADVs (aka. touring enduros) into REALLY "dumb places". I get that cast wheels are not upposed to be abused, but they will be. Frankly the biggest thing holding back most of these machines are the stock tyres, otherwise they are decent - as long as you are appropriate sized for the machine* *If you are a huge dude, CRFL300 rally will bottom out just by you sitting on the thing (without suspension upgrades), while if you are on the small side, like youtuber itchy boots, good have mercy on you if you do hard offroading and have to repeatedly lift the full sized ADVs.
Brake fluid does boil, that's literally the whole point of high performance brake fluid, is to raise the boiling point. Don't speak with certainty on things you aren't certain of.
the BMW S1000 segment had me pissed because he comes up around the truck, skips two lanes over, meanwhile swerving back and forth. As a driver, that immediately makes me tense up because I don't know if you're just a dumbass fixing to crash trying to make a video, or if you're fixing to go into a slide or had lost control. Respect other people on the road.
7:15 i had a case that i used this trick I knew it had nothing to do but i tried it like in a parking spot BUT one time a car driver tried to pass me and another car was coming on the opposit way ,so the car driver tried to cancel the pass and entered my lane right next to me ,the road had a high edge and i was forced to make a free place for the car I moved out and then it happened my rear tire got stuck in the down edge and the front tire was in the road that was the most terrifying thing i encountered ever and im proud that I practiced that trick even if i knew that it has nothing to do I recommend that you all guys practice it ❤
on 7:20 its mostly for dirt riding its when your rear wheel is behind a pice of wood or something happend to me with my 200killo honda not easy to deal with if your havey
It's so easy to hold the bike upright, using the the paddock stand and both wheels on the ground. Nobody should be dropping their bikes when doing this. Look how he's holding the stand. No weight on it to support the balance of bike. Poor bike.
I generally don't like tik tok or Instagram reels motorcycle content as it is mainly all just recycled shit. Just people posting the same stuff i've seen a thousand times. And so much of it is incredibly unfunny and or cringe. My personal least favourite videos are the gf/backpack vids, e.g. 'oh i need a backpack i'm so lonely and mysterious so I go 200+mph on my r6 (not) on the highway but don't know how to corner 😫😫' that kind of shit! Sick of it.
Love your content. Reason to lower the bike its to race the bike on a straight line, u didnt see the longer swing arm either on there for the same reason or that it has only one front rotor. Just a diferent type of racing, people who say oh no thats ruining the bike cant even use a 250cc to its full potential on a track but are complaining that people lower and stretch their bikes....let people enjoy things and stop judging
I could use some advice on a good first helmet to get I just picked up my starter bike last week and am really struggling to find a good balance of a nice helmet with a fair price
You figure something out let me know. Don’t wanna spend too much but at the end of the day I’d rather she’ll out an extra 200 and keep my brain if the worst occurs
The motorcycle videos on Instagram are worse. Just a bunch of dudes with clips of them riding their bikes really fast (and crashing) with text like "Never let him go riding after an argument 😢" and "when she doesn't reply😢💅" and the motorcycle saying to the guy "I will take away your depression but in return you might not make it home". And everyone's in the comments saying that they want to die. Such is the state of young men these days
the electronic suspension is bullshit, there is no difference between a manually adjustable fork or an electronic exept for a solenoid adjusting the valves instead a little knob and a sensor
Brake fluid actually boils, and the boiling point in high performance brake fluid is usually stamped in the box
brake fuild itself cannot boil, but if it binds with water then it can boil.
It can boil but most likely the air in the lines will steam first locking up your brakes.
@@Dirkadew yeah but the your brake temps cannot get high enough to boil brake fluid
@@stuartdavis5287 they can but if you’re talking about on the streets then yea it probably won’t.
It usually happen when you never change your brake fluid. It's boiling temp decrease when it absorb more water. So older water logged brake fluid boil easier

There are motorcycling hoodies now that are a proper protection gear with armor, high melting point and everything.
I ride in one and they offer really good protection
@@johanjvdw I agree, I have one for warmer days and it has d3o lvl2 protectors, ykk zippers, double seems, invisible reflective markers, it's made out of material that's 50% aramid, it even has a thingy to keep the hood down so it wouldn't flap in the wind.
