Tool basics for motorcycle repair, what you need to have in the toolbox

[@kevinjohnson9736]

Your video helps a lot. Getting ready to work on a Honda CB750.

[@stephaniestilwell1271]

Thank you Mr. Junkman :)

[@graemewilson5459]

I Llewelyn your vids they teach me and I learn . Thanks G from Scotland .

[@MrNipperz]

make a "on tour essentials tool list" and you'll have my sub and views for life

[@thejunkman]

haha, well sub and click the bell for email notifications so you don't miss that video.

[@henrya2130]

I find the flathead with the impact driver is really handy if you can get to the seized screw with a handsaw to cut your own slot, last resort tho

[@JNich68]

A few things I didn't see mentioned: basic screw driver sets, torx bits, compression tester, spark plug sockets, bike lift, oil filter wrench, fluid drain pan, cable or chain lube, telescoping magnet for dropped items.

[@jonguyen4411]

One thumb up for this video Mr junkman

[@690ADV]

very informative and well put together!

[@GTsGarage]

Great vid, covers some really good points

[@nocturncal]

6:09 that slight smirk right after he says the 10mm is the one that you're gonna use the most... Because he knows it'll also be the one that you lose the most LOL

[@thejunkman]

10mm socket has become its own meme in and of itself.

[@derekanderson8734]

Thank you, Mr. Junkman for the informative video! I’ve been working up the nerve to buy a motorcycle but my wife has been protesting the issue.

[@danjepson7287]

Derek Anderson don't listen to the wife she'll be happy your happy get all the tools tinkering is great fun 😜

[@shaynehoff]

"No more than a 16oz hammer", lol, I spent 2 days beating on my bike with a 10lb sledge to get a rusted swingarm bolt out.

[@carlosvillegas8775]

Just rent a jack hammer

[@benlundgren3760]

shaynehoff got to have muscle too

[@AggeusK]

I love this video!

[@russellsprout2223]

Compression tester, valve spring compressor, chain tool, carburettor balancer, lathe, milling machine...

[@thejunkman]

Lol!

[@fireblazer6661]

I prefer a quality Headlamp myself. Got a couple $60 ones, and damn they're bright. And keep both hands free.

[@Rico4801]

Great video

[@thetruthjustice6324]

Snap on is probs the best tools company comes with lifetime warranty aswell

[@thejunkman]

The best tool is the one that gets the job done.

[@denniscox9277]

I think a video about a go bag of tools to take on your bike would be helpful to,

[@thejunkman]

Yeah, that is a good idea. I would have to kinda break that up into "offroad" and "street" because each discipline has its unique requirements.

[@p90ischeap81]

I would watch both.

[@thejunkman]

+p90ischeap keep watching I might make one soon

[@demonrathunter]

if you are going to have a wrist pin puller how about a ring compressor and maybe a grease gun. 6 & 12 point sockets also make a difference and of course a good set of plain old screw drivers. just to name a few other things.

[@thejunkman]

Well these are just the basics to get started with. I brought up the wrist pin puller as an example of the more specialized tools when a person gets into that stuff and your right then you would would want to get ring compressors and things as well as upgrade to 6 point sockets.

[@demonrathunter]

and then a good screw driver set and a grease gun?

[@thejunkman]

I mention screw drivers, grease gun, for motorcycles its not really needed.

[@chrisginoc]

Hearing protection? I've never heard that one. Im not promoting or pushing any brands. Most if not all werkend warrior, at home garage mechanics would do just fine with a brand like Husky when it comes to tools.

[@SupercarGarageUSA]

cool video, what brand is your torque wrench ? I have a Craftsman micro click and works ok but I don't like it much

[@thejunkman]

One of mine is a Craftsman Digitork from the mid 80's

[@SupercarGarageUSA]

thanks for the info

[@jasirsofi3116]

Bro how is quality Eastman socket wrench ? Need ur Suggestion

[@thejunkman]

I don't know. Do not have one.

[@giovannydelgado8405]

I got a torque wrench that’s 10-75 foot lbs. will it be useful for my gsxr600? Or should I get a bigger one?

[@thejunkman]

Yes it will for most fasteners. If you check the front of your service manual it will usually list a table with bolt sizes and torque values. Check and see how large of bolt they list and see what that value is. That means that is the largest bolt that you may have to torque if you ever disassemble something.

[@giovannydelgado8405]

Ok I got a clymer manual so idk if that’s good enough but I mainly just want to do my own maintenance and than maybe tackle valve adjustments, can chain, spark plugs, etc. shop times for little stuff like this is very expensive so I want to save a few hundred to invest in my bike. Thanks you for the feedback man I appreciate the fast reply

[@thejunkman]

a Cylmer manual is just fine. And your torque wrench will do all you need for those types of repairs or adjustments.

Hi

[@elvievargas657]

sir. my xr 125 yr model 2013 i think has a problem, early morning when i start the engine it feels good but when the engine gets hotter it started to cut the force of the engine when i rev it. what can i do for that please help me anyone knows the solution please help me.

[@thejunkman]

You might want to check out my carburetor jetting video. Sounds like your overall jetting is a little rich.

[@YungCountry1]

I just replaced my starter & starter relay solenoid, checking wires & fuses. My 01 Kawasaki ZX9R is trying to start up whenever I touch the positive cable to the battery🤯it does it with the key in the off position, relay connected or disconnected, start switch on or off. Out of ideas, please help

[@KnobleMoto]

Sounds like you have bypassed the starter relay. Make sure you do not have the starter relay hooked up backwards. Some are very specific a out which side comes from the battery and which side goes to the starter

[@joshsamuelson1793]

Like the vid.

[@thejunkman]

Thanks. This might help some that are trying to build a tool box of things they need to maintain their bikes.

[@dontpanic4295]

I have a 1996 Yamaha VMAX. The spark plugs on the right or running rich the two spark plugs on the left or running normal what would cause this? Could it be from sitting too long on the kickstand and messing the floats up on the right side?

[@thejunkman]

Sounds like the float needle valves may be leaking by and flooding those carburetors a bit. You will have to investigate further. I think your on the right track though.

[@thejunkman]

Also, check out my carburetor jetting video for more help.

Lubricate the throttle cable. Otherwise visit my carburetor jetting page to learn how to jet your carburetor properly. www.thejunkmanadv.com/motorcycle-carburetor-jetting.html
