lol by the third recurring intro clip i was laughing my off….other than that nice vid!
Thanks for the …
Thanks for the compliment. The recurring intro’s seem to be a theme of dislike here. We are going to work on that and try to get it trimmed down. Lots of other videos on the way.. If I ever get time, I’ll trim that out for others to watch more pleasantly.
What do you mean? …
What do you mean? It kept looping the same video every 3 tips or so? Are you talking about the Animated bumper? It was originally designed as 10 segments but we were able to fit it into 1 single video. With the time allowed for editing, I didn’t have a chance to take that out of all of them. I am sorry this is annoying, we will be doing it differently in the future. I still hope you got something out of the tips that will help you keep your bike going longer though.
That top ten intro …
That top ten intro video that you kept looping was so horrid! i got so annoyed..
I thought atleast it would count down from 10-1 but no.. you just put the same video in every 3 tips or so.. urgh.
good tips though.

I appreciate the effort being made by people who are willing to spend their time & energy (not to mention, money) to help hopeless cases such as myself.
I’m new to riding (the only road vehicle I’ve ever had, is a pushbike – and didn’t maintain that very well either).
Maintenance of a bike is all greek/alien language to me. I’m frequently in my local mechanic’s because I haven’t paid the attention to learn.
These kinds of videos are essential viewing for n00bs like myself.
Good work – thanks

Nice video. I have …
Nice video. I have done most of these for every bikes I have owned. From moped to 125cc motorcycle and for my cb500. I’m not a custom rider yet, but there’s not much difference between other bikes.
The only video tutorial I need is how to check wheel bearings and swingarm bearings, steering head bearings. Without removing any parts first. Never seen video for it yet, so that’s why those bearings are still unchecked.
Not many people …
Not many people would ever go through all of that before riding. Many people don’t do very much of this at all and that makes mechanics happy.
We are trying to look out for our customers and offer this as some additional education. A complete course in motorcycle maintenance to learn every aspect cannot be made in a 10 minute Youtube video.
Remember, our slogan is “Keeping the World on Two Wheels” Regular maintenance is a part of KEEPING ON TWO WHEELS and not sitting in the garage.
The statement of ” …
The statement of “Every Ride” is a statement for very in-experienced riders with a new bike or their first bike. This will give them the opportunity to learn more about the bike, parts, and how it runs. Please remember, these are just guidlines and not to be taken as Manufacturer rules. Different bikes have different needs.
Keep in mind also that by just doing simple look overs, you can find faults eaiser that could prevent an accident or being stranded along side of the road.
Are you seriously …
Are you seriously suggesting doing all this before EVERY ride?

I certainly hope you will count on J&P Cycles for your upgraded parts. We have some amazing techs on the phones that can help you out too. Also, check out our forums and see if there is anything there that can help you out. If you would like to see that bike up close, it is in our showroom at Destination Daytona in Florida.
Nice!
Nice!
i’ve been riding a …
i’ve been riding a sports bike kawasaki zxr 250. i’ve also ride my friends R1 and it’s superb from its performance and fuel consump. the dearlers here in my country(Malaysia) doesn’t sell to many sport bikes like those bike above 600cc. if u want one, u have to order it. so base from your opinion, i think i’ll just take the gxxer 600-750. also the price here is madness. say in US cost a kawasaki zx-6r around 6000$, in here is about 30000$ plus man. it triples the price man. id say, wtf man.
nd oh.. if this is …
nd oh.. if this is your first sport.. dont go for your dream bike yet cause you are going to drop it! me, after i ride this f4 for a year or 2 i’l switch to a 04gsxr or 05cbrRR.. tryin to get good skills first! which everone you buy.. ride safe.. take MSF (i did nd it really helped)
have u been riding …
have u been riding dirt or sport? cause theres a pretty big difference! the feel of the weight & power are totally different! but anyhow.. go to a dealer and just sit on every bike they have… your options are going to be more clear after you do that. i bugged the heck outa the dealers where i lived…
yeah man u got some …
yeah man u got some points there, i’ve been riding for about 2 years. since im a huge fan of suzuki, i think i just go for either the gixxer 750 or the 600cc bikes.
