An oil change is always the first thing I do to a bike. It can tell you more about the engine’s condition and maintenance history than anything else. If you change the oil and within a 1,000 miles it is pitch black again then the engine has been chronically under serviced. Since motorcycles hold such a small amount of oil, frequent changes are very important. You can also look for plastic debris in the oil after draining the pan. Most of this applies to cars as well!

The Best & Worst Bikes for Mechanics to Work On 🏍️ …Honorable mention to Yamaha with their Vstar 1100 that requires pulling the exhaust off to get to the oil filter. And to Kawasaki for making us split the cases to get to Ninja starter clutches. Comment your opinion on bikes you love or hate to work on: Harley Davidson, BMW, Ducati, Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Royal Enfield, KTM, there’s no wrong answers 😅

Annnnnnd that’s how you get a shop full of broken bikes 😅 But no sweat, this Suzuki RM85 to GSXR 50 swap will continue!

There’s a lot you can learn about a bike by just walking around it and taking a test ride. I like to go at least 10 miles to ensure it’s fully warmed up and watch for any lights to come on, overheat, or a change in tune. If you want to know more about what certain symptoms mean, check out our other videos! 👍

To clean and rebuild a carburetor, all you need are a few simple tools and high quality replacement parts. I use about a 1/4 can of carb cleaner per carb body, a tub of chem dip (lasts forever), some frayed throttle cable to clear clogs, a flat head screwdriver custom shaped for pilot jets, and a JIS bit for all the hardware. For parts, I always replace the float needle (and sometimes the seat), bowl gasket, and all o-rings throughout the carb. I use OEM or K&L (Japanese made) brands only. For replacement jets check out jetsrus. In this vid I show carbs from a Honda Shadow 600, Yamaha Vstar 1100, Triumph T100 Daytona 500cc, and a Suzuki GS750. But this applies to all carbureted motorcycles and small engines!

The Suzuki GSXR 50 is like the Grom of the 80’s. It was the smallest of the mini sport bike craze. With the RM85 engine thrown in, it should be able to keep up with the times! Which model of mini race bike would you want to see made today? 🏍️

This old school technique only takes a few tools to change your tires. Most importantly, 4 tire irons. A valve core remover tool like mine is helpful especially if you are doing a tube type tire install. Rim protectors are optional but highly recommended to protect the lip of the rim from scratching and gouging. With those few tools the only thing left is practice and a good set of knees!

Think of it this way, no bike sold on a showroom floor didn’t start well or they wouldn’t have sold that bike. So easy starting has always been a very important goal for bike manufacturers and there’s no reason for a bike to become hard to start if it’s working properly. Whether it’s kick or electric, carb or fi, points or CDI, cold or warm out, a bike should be able to fire up within a few seconds/ one or two kicks 👍

I got this syringe for free at Top Golf ⛳️ 😅 but you can buy them for cheap at any farming supply store or pharmacy too.

Remember, brake fluid starts to breakdown after about 2 years of service. Consider it part of your regular maintenance to flush the system and you’ll save yourself more work or sticky brakes in the future! 👍
