  • Is it because I'm still in my 20's that I regularly get asked how long have I been doing this for? probably yes, so here's the backstory of how I got here, and then you can decide for yourself if you want to follow along!

    It’s so refreshing watching your videos, just wish I had your motivation and determination

      Thanks! Motivation is something I think everyone deals with, you only get to see a snippet of my day, there is definitely massive lulls in motivation most days!

    Hey man, just recently came across your vids.
    Currently I'm in training to be a firefighter, and in my spare time I was looking at doing part-time bike work. Im pretty mechanical friendly, as I absolutely love working on bike and cars. I appreciate the information and being honest about it. It may not make a lot of money, but it's what I enjoy doing! Love!

    Behind any successful businesses is someone who has worked incredibly hard and someone who is oassionate about what they do.
    And when i say successful, i mean someone who is in the black and are happy.

    Motoscan I purchased that myself excellent bit of kit for any BMW, keep the OBD adapter under the seat because you never know while out on a ride you might throw a code. Been doing my own mechanics since I was 13 ish now in my early 60's still wrenching my spanners. Restored my 34 year old 1990 ZXR750H2 (see it in my TH-cam channel) eight ish years ago purchase my 2022 BMW S1000RR M Sport last year don't do much to that mechanically because of the warranty but I managed to source a PDF BMW workshop manual for it there's a shite loads to learn. New sub and bell clicked Mike great channel will be watching more. Ride safe bud

    I recently found your channel through your shorts, now loving watching your full length vids! Then I looked at where you’re based and was chuffed to see you’re in Norwich! Definitely will be paying you a visit with my FZ6 soon😁 - Ross

    Tip on the bmw alarms if you push the arm button until you get the double beep and 3 indicator flash it’s in transport mode and won’t set off with motion

    • @HalfdeadRider
      @HalfdeadRider 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Service mode lol my 24 y/o ZX9r's original alarm has a service mode, I think most bikes will as they make them self arm in like 2 seconds

    Do you prefill the new oil filter with new oil and lube the o-ring during an oil change....or directly put the new oil filter on..?

    Why is it I see a lot of bikes in the UK use power commanders? Is there not a lot of shops in the UK that flash ECU’s or are you guys not allowed to flash ECU’s out there?
