this is such a good channel. i havent found one f9 video i didnt enjoy
Wow! This video has a therapeutic effect on me. Will watch it again before bed tonight. As always the only complaint with Ryan and team F9 is not posting their wonderful content often enough. But I understand, creativity and quality don't happen overnight
Excelente tu vídeo saludos desde Argentina
Now that Ryan is a LTworlds millionaire, he'll soon forget all these low budget bike skills. What content will he make then?
I liked it a lot, but I wonder - if you've taken the time to rip it apart to the bare frame, why not paint some parts and really make it stand out?
after its put together .. it should be good for another 100 k lol :D
so satisfying to see :D .. i really like the luggage scale to tighten it down :D .. like you showed in previous
and now I know without any doubt I will never strip a motorcycle down
The sensor and magnet glued to the hub and the device cut into the coolant line? I kind of freaked out at the end with the test ride. I would have cried if you had laid it down.
You got some reflexes
Dilegua o notte,tramontate stelle. Tramontate stelle,all'alba vincerò.
You do amazing work. Thanks !
MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN MY FIRST BORN
I don't get it, did he just take it apart and put it back together, or did he actually install new parts?
Mostly taking it apart. They trashed it pretty hard in a previous video.
IF YOU WEREN'T INSTRUCTED WHILE DOING THIS I'M SURE YOU COULDN'T COMPLETE THE TASK. ESPECIALLY THE ENGINE REBUILD. IF DONE COMPLETELY ALONE YOU'D HAD A BUNCH OF LEFTOVER PARTS AND A NON-WORKING MOTORCYCLE. GREAT JOB! FOR THE TEAM THAT HELPED THAT IS.
I've always liked thumpers!
I had a 99 KLX650R. Had to really give that thing a Kik to start it
Where is the KLR now !? I find myself going back through the videos making sure I’ve seen them all. I rewatched these two on the KLR. Gives me the itch to rebuild the KDX
Interesting music choice. I heard what sounds like 40’s swing etc. damn fast tech. I could be a rich man if went that fast. 😎
Sorry, I wouldn't buy it. As much as I'm a fan of F9 I cringed when I saw the first bearing going into the cases (0:30). Pressing a bearing outer race into a case should NEVER have any IMPACT loads from a hammer or anything else applied to the inner race where said loads are transferred through the bearing (large washers flex and most of the force here was received by the inner race). Use of a large socket would have been much better.
Bloody brilliant video Ryan👍. It's made me want to go out a buy a doer uper. And something that's gonna take more than for t nine minutes! Keep them coming, cheers 🍻
2:26 looks like Osu gameplay.
In the video where he wrecked the bike, it looked like the crankcase was trashed. Is this a new, salved or repaired crankcase?
I need a klr650 as a spare winter bike bombproof.
What bonds do u use vro?
great music!
LOVE your content Ryan!
A brilliant video would love to ride one 😊
Excelente
Bobo build
Whats funny is that “fortnine designs” clutch basket holder, yeah i made one of those for my KZ750 out. Of 1/4” aluminum
What light kit and speedometer did you use?
As someone who's put about 40K miles on a KLR, I love this video.
every single one of his videos are awesome
Envious of anyone that can rebuild a motor. Not one of my strengths. I should buy an engine never expecting it to run, just to be a guinea pig puzzle.
I'm a new biker and have seen many of your latest videos really enjoy and very informative. I've just stumbled across this one, I had know idea you were so mechanically adept too, great vid. Thanks
Unbelievably satisfying
Speed up the video. Now he is building a complete bike in 8 mintues.
This is super impressive.
purpleand red!
oooo... now they're blue!
love the red and yellow back lights
Yang sayang aku like yang cinta allah coment.
Where i can listen that 80s beat in the beginning of the vídeo ? Its freaking cool
F9 videos are better than anything on Netflix or Prime
Great video but why did yo totally strip the bike? Also did you actually replace any parts?
Replacing the crank cases requires the removal of so much, you might as well strip the whole bike at that point. And yep - replaced the rear fender, front cowling, dash, indicators, headlight, hand guards, doohickey, crank cases, and probably a few things I'm forgetting. Mostly because that stuff was broken. ~RF9
Sick! Where would I learn to do this myself if I've missed the boat to do an apprenticeship at the mechanic?
Buy a Haynes manual. Follow the instructions. Assembly is the reverse of disassembly.
Too much work not to powdercoat the frame and stuff while it's all apart.
Can I borrow your FortNine design tool?
I have a 91 in near mint condition, this fall I switched to my KTM 400 exc. Love both of them.
A bit mad after all those disassembly, you don't even reclean and repaint the parts.
Ryan was smiling like a kid after that klr fired up. It was really a good sight to see.
but did you do the doo??????
When the bike started, that laugh said it all. Good show ol’ boy! Good show!
Congratulations From Santiago, Chile. I have a KLR 600, 1993.
Thanks for keeping an old thumper doing it’s thing. Great video
I worked flat rate as a mechanic girl years that's about the speed you need to make good money
Fortnine is just too good for youtube
Beautiful work dude
Beautiful sir
Amazing job! :D
every year i dismantle my ninja 250 and rebuild it, except for the first one i have fail to make it start at the first try, and taking into consideration that the very first time i didn't even knew how to change a tire i'm amazed i keep getting worse every year lol
I have the same Jerry can! in South Africa
You can literally visualize the time spent while he works on his timepiece! 11:00
Upload the entire normal speed video please. Doesn't even need to have background music. Plix Plix plox Plixy plox Plax
damn i wish i understand a mechanical component of any bike like this guy. amazing. would love to buy a bike tha i can rebuild myself.
First off, I'm an '06 KLR 650 owner myself and what's amazing is that probably about 90% of the assembly appears to be unchanged since '87, you could still use this to disassemble and reassemble most of my bike today and the rest would be easy enough to figure out. Goes to show you, rock-solid engineering doesn't need to be changed. Also, I saw what you did there with the music when you were 'mating' the two halves of the case :) That said, love your content but here comes the critique: speaking of no need to go changing solid engineering, wtf is with the cheesy aftermarket upgrades dude? +1 point for the bark-busters, I've got an older generation of the same ones on my '06, but not really a fan of getting rid of the classic cowling for a bare Harley-style cage headlight or adding the blocky double ball-headed mirrors. And the digital gauge and sensor upgrades seemed unnecessary, you're treading too far into the 2008-model heresy territory you so rightly mocked in the stress test video. That and the foam wrap on the handlebars is a bit too... 'kids-bicycle-I-had-when-I-was-eight' for me...
I remember taking apart just the seat and that back fender assembly, with all the lights and ecu and everything, and I thought that was hard! Good job!
That was a bloody awesome video! I have always wanted a KLR650 and I now I want one even more.
This is my favorite F9 video, and I've seen almost all of them.
I can almost smell the fuel
3:17 Genious dynamometric wrench
beautiful
I reported this video for Pornography .
I feel criminal to watch this free .
I had a KLR650 (& GPz900 or two), there's no way I'd remember which bit went where no' mo'
I am confident that in The Matrix, when Neo was having content downloaded to his brain ("I am going to learn Jiu Jitsu.....I know Kung Fu" scene), he also had FortNine videos downloaded and when finished, Neo said - "I know all about Motorcycles!"
How did you become so knowledgeable about motorcycles? Thank you for sharing your passion. I hope you realize how much you are helping those of us that are new at a lot of this stuff!
It ain't a bike its just a very big engine....
Makes you realize just how SIMPLE electric bikes will be...
I thought the exact same thing
Yeah I can't wait to see what future e-motorcycles would be like. They can just use the wheel it self as the motor and basically drop the whole engine. The biggest challenge would be housing the massive battery in a compact space.
This video is such a flex
The moment of the start up.. that is a genuine reaction people! The feelings you get when you successfully complete a task like that....unique
How could anybody not like this???? If nothing else the music was great....
Who disliked this video?! I loved everything about it and I was grinning along with you when it turned on first time. Just 'thanks for watching' at the end? What a guy..!
What can one truly say!?)) A beautiful exacution of enjoyment and love shown with, choice verbal self extraction form, with exonerated mental dexterity, your class metrology of teaching others alike, far superior to none, is a total and absolute joy to watch, and thanking you for an accident which helped me find, the bike of my dreams, the one for me is the Yamaha SCR 950 YOU HELPED ME. THANK YOU AGAIN
Nice job,,,
I love this! I'm looking more into servicing and maintaining my bike and it's so amazing to see someone completely build a bike from the ground up. Thanks @FortNine!
It's funny that all of a sudden combustion engines look so... ancient . Feels locomotive old.
No one does this LTworlds shit better.
Wow! Incredible!
What a fun video to watch! Makes me want to tare down my vstrom just to put it back together again!
What procedure did you follow to rebuild? Just a service manuel or is there diy instructional somewhere?
Hey that looks pretty easy I should do it to my bike some weekend to restore it, But then I remembered it took me almost the entirety of two days to replace the clutch on one of the simplest engines made by yamaha
Now you must keep for ever !!
No klr for me . thank you .
Wow what a engine tractor !! Lots of hears . . good mech . you are besides been a cabadian bike. Einstain !!! .. And movie director and actor . thank you !!!! You are grate . i hope to meet. Im in surrey . where is your shop . can i help you . ??? Im a biker . cat mech .

I will use this to work on my 2018!
I really enjoyed this! You are very talented!
