[@profer0z279]

Does the sucked in fuel cause any problem in the tire?

[@coolhandchunk]

@@profer0z279 I was wondering the same thing!

[@TheJoshKarma]

I would think as long as your fuels shut off then it shouldn’t be to bad

[@quentintin1]

​@@profer0z279 i am not positive for injection models, but a lot of carburetted models have a gas shut off valve (also called a petcock), just set it to "off" and you won't pump any gas in your tire but if you get any in the tire (whatever's in the float or in the tubes) normally it shouldn't cause problem to the tire, it's not like you spray acetone or some other such solvent

[@MrDoroh]

@@quentintin1 For injection models just unplug the fuel pump relay

@@stopstalkingyouspookybastard somebody still has to allocate all the production funds, request products, run the website, edit, schedule trips and test rides... while those are specifically related to video content, I'm sure there is also a FortNine warehouse where they ship/store their in-stock products that they sell on their website. I was apart of a company like FortNine a few years ago and our video production crew consisted of 5 people at MINIMUM. There was a lot of behind the scenes work I had never been apart of but thankfully got to see in the works. (I was tasked with "Brand Relations", which is basically the allocation of products, vehicles, and the like.

Start the engine on 3 cylinders and the fourth is an air pump. Fill that tire in no time at 6k!! lol I know from plenty of experiences, that cb350 will run on one cylinder no problem.

[@shtechvn]

@@gueto70 The spark plugs are in between the engine and the tank, so in order to access the spark plugs, the whole tank needs to be removed, in that case you're better off finding a real pump. Lol.

[@charlesgunzelman3323]

They've taken a right turn into very high quality. There's been a few videos in the past where he went over the top and i was scared the future was film student mediocrity. Seems like they went back to what made this channel awesome a few years ago, refined it, and brought us some really easy to watch content.

[@kaio37k]

I legitimately NEVER comment stuff like "good job" or "love your content", because truthfully, I think KZbin promotes extremely low-quality content, and that's what 99.9% of it is. But your content man. Seriously, amazing. Your production quality is absolutely top notch, miles better than television even. 800K subs is nothing to gawk at, but you're seriously destined for something BIG with this quality, some networks gotta pick you guys up eventually.

[@ChrisKelsey71]

Lesson learned the hard way: Any time you crank an engine with the spark plug removed, give that spark someplace to go. The easiest thing to do is pop the plug back into the end of the ignition lead, and wedge the plug up into the chassis. If you don't do this, the ignition will still make sparks, but they will be forced to arc through the dielectric insulation in your coil, leaving pinhole burns, and another possible path to ground. Your engine becomes hard to start, but idles OK, and then stumbles and misses when the throttle is opened wide. The only cure is a new coil.

[@javierarchila7173]

Chris Kelsey putting on your kill switch gets rid of this problem, specially when doing it with a starter.

[@nocturncal]

Holy poop you just just solved a stumbling problem I've been having. Thank you

One thing is that they don't neccessarily release videos every week just for the sake of it. They release one when they have something that's worth it. Most KZbinrs should take note.

[@quentintin1]

@@zedpoutine they have that freedom as the YT channel does not live on it's own merit, as it's just a branch of F9, which sells MC clothing and accessories. many KZbinrs do that because they made the error to rely on YT to make their bread, and the only way to make money on YT is to post everyday and hope enough people see your vids to that the check you get from YT actually pays the taxes, this is why a lot of them get sponsorships nowadays as it pays well (we are talking up to 6 numbers per video)

[@bikecommuter24]

First off excellent video just watched before I finish my coffee and go for my morning walk. For some reason this video makes me feel old, considering I'm coming up on 43 years of riding motorcycles, I think of all the flat tires I had and mended over years, every motorcycle I have own has had a least one or more flats on it. I don't consider it tire repair most if not all kits are just to get you on the road. I'm old enough to remember when the shops repaired tires and not automatically just sell you a new one I learned how to do inside patches and plug in Motorcycle Mechanics School, my old 1983 Kawasaki GPZ 550 repair manual even had a section in it on how do it. I have tried just about all the repair kits on the road, the ones with the rope type plug, glue, and the T-handles the break first you use them, I've patched tubes, I have carried the CO2 kit, a small bicycle hand pump and even at one time had that valve thing that screwed into a spark plug and supposedly pumped air into a tire, the one time I needed it to work it didn't. I even used one of those foot pumps, people with bad knees and ankles (like me) shouldn't use those. Currently I use Dynaplugs and one of their pumps the kit fits into a small case. I do like the chucks and air hose setup I might have to make one up I got an old bicycle pump Im not fond of. 😆 The fire thing I've seen videos of Russian truck drivers doing that. FortNine is definitely a 👍 I shared this video on facebook.

[@eternallearner8185]

My 3 bikes have a compact bicycle pump stowed as well as a string kit. I learned many years back that those little gas bottles are a sad, frustrating expensive waste of time and money. Love your clips Ryan.

This channel and Ryan are the gold standard of infomatic auto entertainment online. I wish he starts a topgear kinda show with bikes, as i can totally see him pulling this off.

[@Rune2650]

Dnepr (Ural) off road rider trick: Carry a small bicycle pump with you, one of those whose with 2 openings, so it can work on more or less any type of valves, even tho these might seem to be inefficient at pumping a tire up to around 30PSi, it is plausible, especially if you have an old motorcycle with an inner tube. on the other hand, you can get a foot or hand pump, specially made for pumping either car or motorcycles tires, for around 30USD online, that can be quit compact and efficient.

[@nonchecker]

bicycle pump it is. takes some time. but its very small and reusable. not like those co2 canisters.

[@WIRRUZZZ]

Any recommendations for a specific model? I've been thinking about getting one for the car to top off a few psi if necessary, if it's completely flat it's time for the spare / professional help anyways. But everything I've found so far looks pretty flimsy, and life is too short for shitty tools . . .
