Special Tools Every Motorcyclist Should Own

[@Spike-rj6ye]

Hey Ryan I didnt know where to write this but I hope you see it. A fair few times youve plugged D3O stuff, and being a newbie I bought a spine protector last november and put it in my first jacket, didnt think much of it but it beats foam right? 4 days ago I had my first crash, 60 km/hr on a 2011 FZ6R, someone pulled out, I evaded, and had nowhere to go except into another vehicles rear. I was catapulted a few meters, I blacked out and woke up sailing through the air and landed spine and left scapula first on the ground, after that its all black until im in the ambulance. I landed directly on that D30 and all I got was a slight lung puncture, a broken rib, and a chip on my sternum. Doctors said its a miracle I bloody survived at all. I just got home today and boy it hurts to exist but I can walk, feed myself and pee. I checked out the armor and its in perfect condition with imprints of the crash. It only cost me 30 bucks and I can still walk because of it. You saved my life Ryan. Thankyou, from the bottom of my heart

[@FortNine]

Hey thanks for getting in touch! Sounds like a nasty crash and I'm relieved to read that you came out okay. The reason I push D3O so much is because it saved my own shoulder and elbow in a crash a few years ago. I feel honoured that you trusted my advice with your own back. Heal up quick, eh! ~RF9

Just a quick note: If you are going to make you own gaskets with sheet stock, get yourself an inexpensive set of hole punches as well. They will make fabricating your own gaskets much easier. Also, I bought a JIS screwdriver set a few months back, and could not believe how much better they are when working on my bikes.

[@EForchetto]

Agree. A source of JIS screwdrivers is abandoned old Japanese bike toolkits. Surprising how many are lurking in people's garages. Lots of people kept the kits when selling their bikes. An old trick to make gaskets is to place the material on the surface to be gasketed and hold firmly, possibly use one bolt hole. Then go around with a small hammer and tap around the entire shape tapping at the edges of the piece. The casting has sharp edges and "cuts" the gasket for you.

Yes, gasket sheets are a lifesaver as well as pocketsaver. As an auto mechanic, I'd use gorilla snot to glue the gasket to the removable side, then spread old style (long chain) wheel bearing grease on the other side. It allowed me to remove it safely if necessary, even 4 years down the road when a new water pump had to go on. That saved hours of scraping time. Pin wrenches? $44, not. Ebay $9.65USD with free shipping. Yes, helicoils are a lifesaving tech, too. Pickup tool? Worth its weight in platinum. I have telescoping and spring mounted, but not a formable one. Nice! T-wrench? Cool. I have a welder and many spare 1/4" extensions. Impact driver, but no JIS in my box. BUT my 1/4" hex drive Makita impactor is a wunnerful tool, too.

Bullet casings make great gasket choke cutters! Simply take the correct sized empty casing, locate it where the hole is to be drilled, then firmly hammer it, punching the material through in the process. It will leave a much cleaner hole than any other process of cutting. Quick guide: .22 caliber= just under 1/4". .38 caliber= approximately approximately 1/3". .50 caliber = 1/2". (Caliber is done in thousandths of an inch).

[@metamorphicorder]

You can also get solid insert sleeves for fixing messed up holes. I rebuild transmissions and of course the material is steel, so theres that, but we simply drill the hole out a little bigger, thread it clean it out, use some retaining compound, thread onto the spec bolt or screw and drive it into the hole then take the screw back out and finish the assembly. Forgot to say we also countersink the hole because the insert is lipped at the top. So that needs to sit flush. Of course this can only be done to certain parts, we are an oem licensed rebuilder so certain things can or cant be done depending on certain standards. Thanks for mentioning helicoil, i had a case come through my station the other day and one of the holes had this in it. I had never seen it before, and again we are an oem rebuilder so thats not spec and it came out, and by the way they really dont like comming out. But in went a sleeve and it was fixed right up. As it happens i have a steel and aluminum personal project that i just had welded as a temp fix and if that fails before i can replace the part i will be using helicoil if i can find it.

Great list! my two cents: Plus 1 for Helicoils! For shop use Speed Handle (versus T handle) also adds engagement pressure and rotational leverage to remove stuck fasteners, screw buster (fastener removal). Pickup tools are great and add mechanical fingers for the non-ferrous wandering parts. Add small flexible mirror to hunt missing parts or inspect less than visible areas. Dump screw drivers for a few (long, short, ratcheting) drivers and 1/4 3/8 drive socket adapters that use "apex" (a brand name but many impact rated variations) tips - this always keeps a perfect tip without replacing the entire tool or damaging fastener with worn tool. Plus storing a million assorted fastener tips, sockets, etc far more versatile, compact to store and affordable than separate screw, nut, etc drivers.

I prefer Robertson since I can utilize my impact driver while removing things without worrying about my bit snapping off (Torx) or stripping the bolt out (Philips & Allen). Sure you can break anything with too much force, however in my experience of building horse trailers and box trailers, the Robertson bit was the only one that did not fail under heavy "abuse", by impact and powered drivers.

[@JJ_ExMachina]

@@giuliobuccini208 ... Peter Robertson was a Canadian inventor and tool salesman (among other things) who didn't like the slotted screw heads, since they slipped far too easy. He developed a manufacturing technique using cold forming to produce a "square" shaped screw head, that would not slip, which allowed for a strong driving force. SO essentially a Robertson bit/drive is the "proper" name for a square-socket drive... Similar to calling a Philips drive a "slotted" drive. Or a Torx drive is equal to a 6 point star drive... Most people reference the original inventor of a drive/slot style vs the description of that slot/drive. Hope this info was helpful.

Some thingsd you should know about them. They do not torque well, meaning the higher the torque the higher chance of failure. You can't use loctite with them. Rapid temperatures cause them to become loose or fail. They either fit an aplication, but more often than not aren't the right size and if you need them to not be at the bottom of whatever you're screwing in good luck.

Helicoils work great. But, you must follow install directions implicitly.

[@jamessherbaugh5996]

I build custom bikes in my spare time and this wasn't boring. Very good information and articulated very well.

This channel speaks to me on a deeply spiritual level.

The great thing about that pin wrench is that any pin*head* with a lathe and other basic machine tools can make one in an afternoon, and endow it with all the features and corrections to the design one could want. Bigger, wider handle, locking, and interchangeable pins for a start.

I want a bike just made with Robinson screws. the pinnacle of Canadian engineering, Canada arm is a good second

[@evanphi]

ROBERTSON!

[@edwardtupper6374]

Two hunnert and seventy five thousand screws welded together still a better love story than HD

[@Carstuff111]

I can attest to the awesomeness that is the Heli-Coil! I managed to screw the threads up (by over tightening, did not realize my friend had set the torque wrench wrong, my fault for not double checking) to one of my rocker arms on the 3.1 liter GM V6 in the Pontiac Grand Prix I once had. I drilled out the hole a bit, removed the shavings carefully, fitted the Heli-Coil and drove the car for another 4 years without any issues. And, I was not exactly....gentle on that engine unless I was trying to get good fuel economy. What ended up killing that car was not he Heli-Coil repair in the engine, but instead the friend I sold it to managed to kill two brand new front wheel bearings, and let the car rot in her driveway for nearly 8 years straight....then she sold it for scrap....got a whole $135.00 out of it....

Good one Ryan - but oddly, the word chamfered is pronounced with a soft ”shhh” sound not a hard “kuh” sound - so it’s “shamfered” not “kamfered”.

[@Max_Marz]

Knipex pliers wrench in a 7 inch handle will replace every box wrench you use on a bike up to 1-3/8" with one tool. They will also break chains if you're clever. You must check them out, I'm a machinist and they've changed my life

A Dual Range Suzuki 90 from the early 70s! Nice! One of my best buddies dad bought him one of these in green,.. There was no having that, so I hounded my dad to get me one. I got the Red one with no dual range, but a 5 speed instead of a 4 speed and , trials tires instead of knobbies . :) It was a few months later one of our other buddies convinced his dad to buy hime a red Suzuki 90 like mine. :) We terrorized the hills in BCs interior for a few years. :) Oh...extensions allow you to twirl. Live a little. :)

[@ASpecialKindOf]

It's pronounced "heal a coil" a reference to the helix shape. And HeliCoil is a Stanley-Emhart brand name. The real term is helical insert. (Source: buy, inspect, and sell them).

[@jvlivtriple]

Seriously though, that is the best description of the difference between a JIS and phillips screwdriver I have heard. I have a few of the Motion Pro tools but the one that stands out is their chain breaker. My first bike, long before Ryan was born, was a TC125. I remember the hi-range/lo-range lever above the shifter. I sometimes wish I had that little bike back.

[@JohnSmith-so6to]

I have also had better luck on Philips screws with a JIS screwdriver than a Philips screwdriver.

[@edwardtupper6374]

Oh I just go straight at them with an impact driver :)

[@colinkutz5930]

You will, as they said and showed, the JIS will not cam out of the phillips. You can always use a JIS driver on a Phillips, but not a phillips driver on a JIS.

[@oscartravis5740]

That magnet on a length of wire is the best tool in the arsenal. Practically every bolt I handle wants to leap for freedom before attaching itself to the nut

[@user-ux4gu2lh8c]

Very classic youtube clickbait thumbnail, but you guys are great, i really hope you get more popular

[@AnujFalcon]

I am impressed by the JIS and Torque wrench...

[@ostmen_draugr]

Never had the issue with philips head & jis screws. Granted im not dumb enough to keep spinning a driver in a nearly striped head, rubberband trick works to get it out then replace the bloody screw

[@FC_Dobbs48]

I grew up near Canada's belly button (Minnesota). So have always thought of Canadians like relatives. It's hard watching your uncle go crazy.

[@scottygdaman]

Was that the rare aluminum magnet?

[@motoryzen]

No such thing. Can't stick a magnet to aluminum.

[@scottygdaman]

@@motoryzen lol .

[@motoryzen]

@@scottygdaman put a magnet against pure aluminum , dumbass. See how well it sticks. -_- HUHUHUHUHUH.

[@pinkiewerewolf]

Used those JIS driver bits on my Motion Pro wrench to take out the carb screws on my Mighty KLR 650 and immediately replace them with the Eagle Mikes replacements.

[@tzarnaev]

Wheres the engine rev intro sound?

[@ryank5115]

Greta stuff. Been wrenching on bikes for years and just picked up a few of these things after watching

[@bakerXderek]

Shocked you didn't put an Impact screwdriver on here. LITERALLY something you can't work on your motor without.

[@9kRPM_at_2AM]

This comment deserve a Cheah!

[@metallicafan114]

Impact driver isnt necesary.

[@thewatcher5271]

I Thought He Mentioned It At 9:50 . . .

[@Tonymoto1100]

I can't think of a single fastener I need an impact for on my fz-8.

[@pejapl13]

Go away BakerxDickhead, I'm surprised you're still on KZbin with you shit videos.

[@cohall46]

Every time that I watch one of your videos I am amazed and always learn something.

[@akquicksilver]

Fish out the metal (aluminum) shavings with a magnet when you're done! OK

[@markgilder9990]

Made me laugh.

[@itsChris65]

use grease when tapping and helicoiling no swarf in motor !

[@akquicksilver]

@@itsChris65 Yes I know, I'm a retired millwright. I was just quoting 49 while he was drilling aluminum.

[@itsChris65]

@@akquicksilver My comment was really aimed at anyone generally, just a bit of advice for those who dont know. I remember the first time greasing the helicoil, it was Really important the tip didnt get lost, and it came out stuck to the end, happy days almost tweaking waiting on the Snap On man.

[@Dub_farmer]

watched a lot of motorcycle vids before i got my first. it all felt info driven and like it was off wikipedia. feels like I'm talking to a bike bro watching your vids. informative and approachable for beginners and experienced bikers. i salute your knowledge and mentor. god bless

[@Dub_farmer]

FortNine you act like you're a spin off but you're one of a kind my friend. definitely impacted my perspective on motorcycles and I don't even comment on yt vids

[@-ExperienceWithMe-]

"I like the part where he talked about tools"

[@terrencerueger3886]

I teach my apprenticeship students. If you can't get a torque wrench into position directly or with a crowfoot adapter. Place torque wrench drive in vice practise a few times how much your preload should feel. Hold wrench at same length as torque wrench handle and recreate the feel of 20 foot pounds or 31 nM. Whatever you are gunning for.
