The Beginner Motorcyclist's Toolbox

[@Da.Onus.Burger.618]

Great video and excellent examples! I’d also recommend adding a chain brush and at least three squirt bottles (one with plain water, one with soapy water, and one for kerosene for when you clean the chain). But you definitely nailed the necessities with this one!!

[@neilhislop]

I'd say that a simple multimeter should go in the box too! And more importantly a torch(commonly know as a flashlight), lol south African slang. I always end up fiddling on my bike just before it gets dark. Great work on the channel CC and keep the videos coming. Greetings from Brazil

[@slayerplaysgenshin9842]

We Indians call it a torch too.

[@ImSoCluelesss]

And everyone in UK

[@rath6599]

You can't have too many lights, it's true. Useful to keep one under your seat as well, should be part of the emergency kit

[@hunterl7588]

Your fork seal is leaking there m8 3:20

[@one-of-us9939]

Way to go bro, my 1st box almost exactly...

[@ChaosCauses]

Good to hear!

[@ghazik3656]

Yes you still need an adjustable wrench even if you hate it.

[@minnsminns]

Never!! (Hides adjustable wrench behind back)

[@harrisonjacobsen173]

haha, I thought i was the only one who pierced oil filters with screwdrivers in order to get them off. Great vid!

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

The correct way to do it is to use the right wrench, however that would work in a pinch, as long as you're prepared for the oil leaking out of it.

[@D.E.X]

When I cannot remove an oil filter canister with just my hand, I'll know I just had a stroke. I have 3xl hands. My gloves require Tucows to find them on-line and two cows to make them. And I have to use weather balloons because Trojan doesn't make...well, maybe I should save that for a later post...

[@danmacmillan88]

I had to do the same when I bought my bike but then I started getting the k&n filters that have the socket attachment at the top so I can just use a ratchet and socket easily and more clean

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

A few things, you're holding the oil can upside down. The opening should be on the top, not the bottom. It allows for more precise aiming of the oil stream coming out. It's worth getting ratcheting combo wrenches for most things rather than the regular ones as you'll do less damage to the fasteners that way. Some things, like brake bleeding will require a regular wrench. Lastly, you need JIS screwdrivers if you've got a Japanse bike as philips will damage the screw heads.

[@SuburbanBallistics]

Magnet on a stick is a must have!

[@IlVolpiELaPandi]

I really love your "old" and worn out tools... They speaks about passion over time... My dad used to have those kind of worn tools and I loved them, much more than I love my brand new shiny ones...

[@cornish_boy6235]

T bars are one of the best things I’ve bought. I started with a socket set and the wife’s tool bag that she had when I met her in the shed and now have a kitted out garden with a 2 tier tool box full of tools(some of which you never want to use, I.e tap and die set).

[@calderon551]

I have 2 bikes, so I bought Japanese screwdrivers and all the tools you names at the beginning. Have 3 torque wrenches and more for the air compressor. Locktite red and blue.

[@Robnoxious77]

After 20 years I finally got a paddock stand. I have no idea how I lived this long without it.

[@mubashirafridi8085]

Glad to get it as one of the first few things so I can safely say I am 20 years ahead of you in bike maintenance even though I passed 2 months ago lol

[@basic2573]

Thats a clean lookin bike man! Just shows how you really take care of it. Ride safe 🤟

[@bigkevonbass]

A must have if you own a Japanese bike is a JIS screwdriver. I have seen so many stripped and rounded out master cylinder bolts because people think they are the same as a Philips screwdriver.

[@alejandrogonzales7022]

Great video and loads of awesome information in the comments. I would definitely add the maintenance manual! Maybe not as critical nowadays with all of the info you can find on the internet, but it can save you a lot of filtering through forums and youtube videos. Especially on an older bike that may no longer (or never came with) all the little data stickers. My owner's and maintenance manuals are marked with little tabs for all of the more common jobs that I can handle myself.

[@h8510129]

im fortunate enough to have a workshop from my dad to tackle on all the small tasks and most of the bigger/heavier tasks.

[@alejandroguerrero03]

I'm 16, it isn't hard to put oil in without the funnel, awesome vid, it helped alot

[@logito4856]

Definitely need a torque wrench after borrowing one of my friend like a thousand times i finally got one for myself xD

[@janbojarski004425]

I always got away without funnel when changing oil in my bike, thanks to great design of castrol 1L motorcycle engine oil bottles, which are very similar to car transmission oil bottles (when opening them a long, narrow nozzle is pulled out that allows for easy pouring of the oil into the hole).

[@mnnic4292]

Love the humor. From basic tool box that will fill up soon and the jump to a garage! Lol.

[@arkashaes6618]

Dude, I'm gonna be late for work, but I keep watching your videos!!

[@grendelprime166]

T handle socket wrenches are dirt cheap and oh so glorious when working on a bike.

[@TheHallPartnership]

I have two tool boxes, a large one and a small one. When I find I need a particular type or size of tool to work on my bike it gets transferred from the large box to the small where it then stays. This way, when I want to work on the bike, I only have to reach for the small box, confident I will have everything I need. So much more convenient.

[@thecasualrider2668]

thanks for this great video bro after watching this i have realised i should also get a toolbox.

[@Epiphalactic]

For old Japanese bikes, a vessel impact screwdriver in JIS. Anybody who's worked on one of those knows they makw the screws out of cheese. Philip had bits are not shaped properly to remove them, and more often end up stripping the screw head. Furthermore, some things that haven't been moved in a long time are in there so well that without some inward pressure as well, you will not be able to remove it. The JIS impact screwdriver rotates I think something like 15° every time you smack it with a hammer. It's the only Phillips head style screwdriver I use anymore

[@motomonstrosity447]

Awesome video bud! Nice to see another South African motorbike KZbinr.

[@awsomejeffy9412]

5:15 or those magnet rod that Extendes or the extending mirror

[@sun6v546]

Love your Ride everytime , Mate. Lots of love from South India.

[@thein-tele-gent5654]

Butt the nose of a set of linesman pliers against the fat end of the tie wrap and twist the end of the tie-wrap off to avoid a sharp end that can lead to an aggravating slash in your hand or arm when you are wrenching on a nearby part of the bike.

[@tshansen]

Damn mate. The amount of detials in this video are amazing... Really well done and brilliant put together :-D I have to step up my game :-P Cheers mate

[@gabe4696]

A shop/service manual. Tool are all well and dandy, but if you don't know what you're doing or what might be in a need of fixing, there you go, everything about the bike you own.

[@DeputatKaktus]

Get spares. Because some commonly used tools tend to evaporate over time. For instance, I like keeping a few 8 and 10mm sockets and wrenches handy. Two additions: Pliers wrenches. Those are genuine lifesavers. And for clipping off cable ties: flush cutters. Trust me…after the first time you gouged open your hand on a protruding bit of cable tie, you will agree.

[@MrBullet45100]

Could you do a tutorial on how to replace the bike's battery? It would really help me. Really love your vids man!

[@Nomad-Drifter]

Negative off positive off. Positive on negative on.

[@Kevz8611]

I've got all the tools but I lack the box. Lol.. To complete my tools for the bike I finally got my own chain remover and riveting set.

[@Spartacus1314]

This is great information. Now all I got to do is get a bike which first I got to get a motorcycle license, and to do that I got to get my driver's license, and to do that I got to get my permit again.....😔 might be a while (I'm 17).

[@neiracorominas]

I’ve seen some of your videos today and you sir deserve way more suscribiers than you have.

[@Grillo110]

Awesome video you should make one talking about common maintenance of a bike.

[@Yettee0201]

I would recommend the tool box last that way you know what size box you need to get. For sockets get 6 point sockets, 12 points while nice can potentially slip and round bolts or nuts.

[@ParadiseBiker]

Awesome vid...Shoutout from Jamaica

[@PuddinPie]

I would say have a tyre puncture repair kit on your bike should be your first purchase, easy to pull into a Service station when you realise you’ve picked up a nail or something... just make sure their air compressor is actually working before you go making things worse

[@rohan6579]

Nice Work man been binge watching your channel .. ur vdos r fun to watch! 👍🏼

[@izaak1509]

Consider you can buy most of these tools in a tool set box at your local auto shop I.e. Repco, supercheap auto for like under $150 on sale quite it's very easy and cheap to get into working on your own motorbike.

[@RonNagales]

New Subscriber Here From Philippines. Like Your Videos Boss CHAOS C. RIDE SAFE always..

[@aeror115]

After the years i bought so much different tools… i do not want to see the bill of that stuff😂 now im buying tools just from one brand to have a closed and comparable system! As a young beginner i was really happy to see my fathers toolbox 😅

[@diy-aholic6501]

plesse be kind as i have some critiques for this vid. i got suspicoous when item 1 was to set yourself up with a toolbox and worry about its decals. item one should be a service manual! no mention was made of needing the owner and service manuals. If viewer needs explanation of how a ratchet works .. well... 'nuff said about that one. Suggestion: get allens with a ball end! For the correct pressure gauge, see what you need for your ride, the straight end will not work on my ride. the demo had a 90 degree valve stem adapter i noticed. delay the toolbox for a while if money is tight. Instead get whatever compresdor you csn afford because tire pressure is critical to safety!

[@D.E.X]

Don't settle for anything other than JIS crosshead screwdrivers. That's not a manufacturer, it stands for Japanese Industry Standard and those are the screws on your rice grinder. Look it up. You keep rocking the video's, dude! You should have told that new bike owner about...the...infamous...factory...tools...that...should...be...on...the...bike...somewhere...

[@cloverfield1006]

Love your videos dude! Keep up the good work my man!

[@ruikazane5123]

When I began on riding, I only had a socket wrench set. Now, I also have a spanner set, and I am looking forward to owning a torque wrench(es) to do more intermediate tasks like valve clearance adjustment, clutch check and replacement, engine overhaul and more thinks like those. Much needed now that my bike was involved in an accident against a car whose driver is drunk from a party. Ouch. Ruined the entire headlight/dash/fairing assembly. It is an FZR400R and that makes matters worse!

[@micheal49]

I was wondering when "garage" started to rhyme with "carriage". Now we know it was prior to summer, 2019. Getting closer!

[@moazkhedr7372]

Keep up the good work, your videos have lots of useful information.

[@PhoneNHe]

Great video, great insight of tools what is essentially required. Thank you

[@luzonmoto]

Omg! We had the same tire pressure gauge! I have the basic tools only. I'll try to get some more. Thank you for this. By the way, I don't have a friend named Allen also 😅

[@davem5959]

Great video man. Really enjoy your content.

[@nightowl2210]

They do make ratcheting wrenches or spanners as you call them

[@martinsliepins6225]

Pro tip. Get a toolkit, in a box so nothing flies everywhere. An ok one is around 200$. Has most of things. And get a good screwdriver set. Oh and a plier set. Edit: torx tips are less likley to strip a hex bolt

[@facial210]

Might look crazy but you pour oil with a spout on the top and the handle on the bottom that way the oil doesn't gulp for air

[@williamyamm8803]

Good video. Thanks From France.

[@traqnhristov960]

Well if you got the compressor might as well get a cnc mill, some callipers, and micrometer. ;)

[@jurgenspieterse9608]

Where cab I get a sticker? Really like to have one for my toolbox.

[@rockosmoke]

Ahhh this us the video i wanted. Thankyou so much.!!! Why dint you tell you have a video on this when i asked you on instagram 😆 Love your bike. The colour the headlights, the handle bars , the tail . Everything about it. Would own one soon. Currently i have a baby R1 (r15v3) Resembels the R1. What you think?

3:40 ..BUT...choose 6 point over the 12 or whatever numbered point you saw here. Why? Simple. 6 point = less chance of rounding a nut.
