[@user-si8zf9hy1b]

Looks like we got another good presenter on the board....very nicely done.

[@SjrkoTheGamer]

or the writer of the videos..

[@BurlyNerdGetsTheWorm]

Not sure if Justin or Aaron or someone else behind the scenes is doing the writing, but kudos to whomever. Clear, thorough, informative, and interesting. Nicely done.

[@denchua]

7:00 Great way to show dominance over us mortals XD

[@mercenex6329]

I was like, that seems like a very useful way to park a bike. My Versys can do it, right? Right?

[@adzeflores9373]

I learned that I don’t have to take out the whole cable just to lube it. Also, It is cool that you can pull off stunts like that in that small space. Kudos!

[@marksalisbury5076]

Thanks for the info Aaron, great stuff, and with a little practice, looks like you could be a pretty good rider!

[@eastonpal2487]

Yeah, mad props to his stunt double at the end ;)

[@AaronColton93]

I am working on it. Still in the dribbling stages.

[@daydaydful]

Aaron Colton dude what kinda bike is that I know it’s super modded but what model was it originally I was tryna figure it out but I’m stuck between fz09 or kawi 636 lol

[@Lievano]

Daydaydoitbig it’s a street triple 675

[@LunchBXcrue]

@@daydaydful Its a street triple! Not sure which year. I just bought a 2020 street triple r and its a freakin awesome machine.

[@snehajanp3853]

When someone teach some techniques and shows the practicality of it I’m sure i can blindly go with the techniques .Great content.keep it up guys

[@madvalo]

that flex at the end after doing just clutch maintenance

[@TheReacTT]

Great presentation, cool garage setup, super talented rider and Red Bull refrigerator! I love it! Amazing work :)

[@brendonfernandez]

Thanks for this! Gonna try the bag trick for sure!

[@motojauntx]

What has two thumbs and is a new Aaron Colton/Freestyle Moto fan? 👍🏼This guy! 👍🏼

[@drewmccurdy3595]

Let’s see more of Aaron’s tips! Great vid

[@christians131]

Great presentation, Aaron has some crazy skills. I’d really like to hear more about the fuel tank. Is it welded together or brazed?

[@אביאלדהרי-ל4ס]

Dead on the guy will open your only channel of motorcycle treatments👑

[@daveevans8256]

Great advice thanks for sharing with us all 👍🇬🇧.

[@andyostertag]

JUDAS! Wild wrap up. Love the plastic funnel. Thanks for sharing

[@GrassBeetle]

the plastic bag + rubber band technique is brilliant. wow.

[@mrthomaslaux1]

Excellent presentation!

[@AKS-wn2qz]

Woahhhh he got those skills 💯💯💯💯

[@alexduey7868]

Cool video man and awesome stunt build from the triple.

[@mujtabakamal]

Such a cool ending

[@mozzmann]

Personally I would not use Pressure Pack Lube ??? It has solvents that evaporate in some cases leaving a heavy drag rather than a smooth feel. Yes !! been using the Bag trick for near on 40 years now and simply fill it with 5 Wt Hydraulic Oil ( Hydraulic Oil has very low tack but high shear stability low drag ) I leave overnight with a drain tin under the lower end of the Cable and allow it to drain through for 24 Hrs ( This prevent excess from dribbling all over the bike ) I mad my own Lever's ans alloy mounts and use 608 Skate bearings in the pivots :) . Nice Video . The Brake ? that is for the Rear is it ?

[@jonsmith3723]

wow- what a great video, Thanks

[@racenoob68]

Another tip is to place a rag where the lube will comeout so it won't spill o the engine

[@Flip01]

Great tips, nice driveway session.👍🇦🇺🍺

[@justintime1307]

In my 50s and this is the first time I have ever seen a break and clutch on the same side

[@TheJumpinJesus]

Another great video=D

[@Paulnunz_]

What do you guys use to lubricate the clutch cable? Does WD-40 work?

[@superplanetbruh]

damn, multiple bikes, big boy sprinter, this guy is living my dream life

[@HJZ75driver]

Only the one

[@JBMotorrad]

Well done!

[@jorgelagunas5797]

I just recently took my motorcycle to have the clutch discs (or plates not sure for the name) replaced for new ones, but now that I got it back, the clutch lever is harder to pull than before, much harder, making it tiring to use, the mechanic told me that was normal since it's new clutch discs and that I would get the hang of it, sounds weird to me, but is it true?

[@bazonka1]

Unless you had heavy duty clutch springs installed as well no, it isn't. Check that he routed the cable correctly when he put it back together.

[@jorgelagunas5797]

@@bazonka1 thank you!

[@user-ot1dv6ri4f]

Is that the tony hawks menu screen backing track?

[@fengrr]

If you swap clutch plates, what is the proper procedure for adjusting the cable to the right position?

[@johntaylor9036]

You got a Travis pastrana vibe going on

[@r6mt09]

at 6:38 you know he aint testing that lubed clutch. we all know he was straight flexing on us.

[@danmanthe9335]

I guess if you got it, flaunt it

[@bigrichardzoogy3273]

Why wouldn't you blast the grit out BEFORE you oil it?

[@AsianVoodoo]

LMAO I wasn't expecting this kinda nerdly lookin/soundin dude to be a complete HOOLIGAN of a stunt rider. DAMN!!!

[@laberboyce5445]

Can you make a video about gas octane? And what is the best octane to use. Thanks

[@superplanetbruh]

if your bike not a cruiser just safe to assume highest

[@TheEpicDuck23]

How often should i lube my clutch cable? Thanks!

[@Bow-to-the-absurd]

If springs are shot, does that make the clutch feel heavy at the lever?

[@ville2070]

No

[@AaronColton93]

Usually it would actually provide a softer feel at the lever as the springs memory would start to atrophy. I personally have not yet had issues with the springs themselves wearing out with the exception of big bore minibike auto clutch setups.

[@superplanetbruh]

you need to do as this video or replace the cable

[@alexduey7868]

No you actually have to compress the springs when you pull the clutch in. tat is how it releases pressure off the clutch to let you shift gears

[@OttomanBeats]

So i have a problem with my bike. There is a ticking vibration sound coming down form the fan/where the air filter is. I had the shop do a air filter change on the bike, and it started after i picked it up. Its only there when its in gear. when its idling there is no sound its perfectly fine. so i know its not the cam chain. But soon as i take off it starts. especially around 2nd to 4th gear around 6-7k rpm. You know how you give it gas then let go a little and let it catch it self on the cruising rpm? thats when it starts. anyone know what it could be?

[@aaronjalapon1277]

I have to ask something, what is ride by wire throttle system and can I get aftermarket ones?

[@AaronColton93]

A motorcycle that has one is most likely developed with one. I have removed a fly by wire system to upgrade to a traditional cable pull but never the other way around.

[@redangel7638]

what bike is that?

[@AaronColton93]

It is a Triumph Street Triple.

[@tjhess2]

damn, that was a good video.

[@Macca260]

What type of multi purpose lube graphite, silicon spray or just wd40?

[@VanTheManSLB]

There are some products (sprays) sold as ''Cable lube''... And some motorcycle manuals say engine oil, what you normally use on your bike. Don't know what he used in this case (he just talks about ''Multi propose lube'', nothing specific) but you should be good with the cable lube or oil. Wouldn't use wd40 and the other options you say don't really seem much better to me tbh.

[@GH-wk9sw]

What about hydrolic clutch ;-)... no need to adjust

[@fpsbohr]

*hydraulic

[@jonnycando]

They are great if you got one...sometimes a pain to bleed but otherwise of course you take what comes on your bike.

[@AaronColton93]

I really have not had the best of experiences with OE hydraulic clutches. Often lacking in lever feel and finite clutch modulation. My trail bike is currently a Hydro clutch and although I miss the feel a cable clutch provides it is nice to be maintenance free.

[@TheDragonDelasangre]

And what if my clutch is hydraulic? 2012 Suzuki V-strom 1000

[@superplanetbruh]

do nothing

[@user-tb4so6mc8f]

Why does he have 2 levers on the left?

[@robertgrounds8725]

Stunt bike riders have that second lever hooked up to their back brake so they can control the rear brake while standing the bike up without having to cover the pedal with his foot. Rear brake keeps you from going passed 12 o'clock 👌

[@aurorajones8481]

OK i feel like a noobie again. Ive never known about clutch maint and ive been doing all this for years. Ughhhh. Ok so then the question is if ive been doing this for 5 years w/ no bike issues...granted i get a new one every 2-3 years. LOL

Justin’s hands are so distracting

[@sv650nyc7]

Show off... 😝

[@hantuber426]

You need a better camera man... you're explaining something that should pull the camera up close but he's just zoomed out and recording your face instead of the close up part...

[@GSXRMVDUCRD]

pretty lame video has nothing to do with the title "clutch maintenance"

[@HJZ75driver]

You need to rewatch it then

[@stu82]

There is an older one on there channel

[@Zgembo121]

what bike is that??

[@HJZ75driver]

Street triple

[@alexduey7868]

street triple 675 and is either the Rx trim or he did a subframe swap from the daytona
