You made a mistake installing the helicoil. Always leave it at least 1/2 a turn below the surface. It is stronger and will not interfere with gasket sealing .
Please LTworlds, no more Ashton Kutcher commercials talking about his accords.
Time sert > heli coil
Your test is flawed bro. As a mechanical engineer, I don't think you should be allowed to exist.
Well played. ~RF9
ALWAYS use loctite when putting in Helicoil's. That way, they don't move about or go in any further when you take the screw/bolt in and out. And always use stainless ones so they don't rust or corrode.
When Viagra makes screwdrivers... 🤣🤣🤣
watched a lot of motorcycle vids before i got my first. it all felt info driven and like it was off wikipedia. feels like I'm talking to a bike bro watching your vids. informative and approachable for beginners and experienced bikers. i salute your knowledge and mentor. god bless
FortNine you act like you're a spin off but you're one of a kind my friend. definitely impacted my perspective on motorcycles and I don't even comment on yt vids
We love you Ryan
T-bar? Seriously? I have the three adapters for my rattle screwdriver to undo many bike bolts
Why did I just find this Channel
Fish Scale? Who would've thought?
Canada = 🤗
Revisiting this for the gasket sheets thing. What material is best for hot coolant?
Greta stuff. Been wrenching on bikes for years and just picked up a few of these things after watching
BUT why dont you use a ratchet the pro way?
I have that same "pin wrench" or spanner. I felt like the $40 I paid locally was pretty ridiculous but I needed it.. I also once used the adjustment screw from it to temporarily replace my shifter pivot bolt.
I would like to formally request the episode about picking up hot girls on my R6.. inquiring minds want to know :)
You can get torque wrenches for like $30
Aloominum 😂
Heli-coil just saved me, cheers!
The cool noise consistently found because iran unexpectedly smile below a obedient mirror. ritzy, beautiful restaurant
Love the ending music!
JIS screwdrivers work amazingly well on old Japanese bikes. No more torque out and stripped heads.
Old school method of getting off an oil filter. Take a large screwdriver and drive it through the filter an inch or two from the end (missing the center of course) - gives lots of leverage. Downside is that it is a bit messy. Upside is a nice bit of destruction on the stubborn filter makes you feel better.
The John Oliver was spot on ! He uses that " you didn't notice" joke all the time !
Socket Set of 38 Metric 1/4in Drive from facom Easy to carry with you, mine is kept on the front fender. It does 95% of what I need. Take a 10,12, 21 and 27 with me and I can strip down the bike where ever I go.
I'd love to see a video aimed at roadside repairs. You mentioned a chain breaker in the intro: would you actually be able to repair a modern beefy chain (no quick link) in the wild?
Long live the TC90 !! Keep wrenching.
"This is the *efficient* tool for bikes." Me, a German: I felt that!
Huh. Wonder if you can use a cricut and cut out your gaskets?
please do more EDC reviews! Thanks. Amazing channel dude!
That last week tonight but was spot on
thats chamfered not campfered
I teach my apprenticeship students. If you can't get a torque wrench into position directly or with a crowfoot adapter. Place torque wrench drive in vice practise a few times how much your preload should feel. Hold wrench at same length as torque wrench handle and recreate the feel of 20 foot pounds or 31 nM. Whatever you are gunning for.

Love the humour man ❤️😂😂😂
And by the way: cutting your own gaskets is a pain in the ***. I've tried. All the little screw holes on a carb gasket. Try the cheap chinese aftermarket ones, available for almost every brand. Only maybe 5 out of ten will fit well, but hey. AND thank you so much for the JIS part. That really changed everything. I've been insulting every tool and wall in my garage for years for that absurdly tightened screws (I literally screwed half of them beyond recognition) till I saw your video for the first time and ordered a Vessel. Now I'm back at thinking that Japanese engineers are ingenious. I got two now.
Hey there, another great video. Just one thought of criticism (correct me if I'm wrong): While I saw that luggage scale method for torque elsewhere, there's a big problem: As you rightly stated: Torque is a FORCE and a distance. But force, my weird imperial friends, is measured in lbf (pound force), not in lbs, as you abbreviated it, which on the other hand is a unit of MASS, not force. And mass is related to gravity (though some Trumpians might tell you otherwise), Mother Earth is pulling with a constant acceleration (9.81m/s² or 32ft/s²). The question now is: Can you pull your wrench with that constant acceleration? Otherwise your formula is wrong. The luggage scale you use is indeed a force meter (or dynamometer), but one that has been calibrated to average gravitational acceleration to show the right weight. Or stated the other way around: if you want lbf and lbs to be the same, as Ryan did, you must pull on your wrench with constant 32ft/s² likewise your luggage would pull on the scale when it's hanging down, i.e. pulled by gravity. Here's an example of what that means (switching to the dark side (the metric system) now): The nut that holds the sprocket on my bike is tightened with 100Nm (74lbf*ft). Let's say the wrench is 0.4m long. If I'm able to pull the wrench with 9.81m/s², the scale must show about 25kg (100Nm=xN*0.4m, so x=250N, as F=m*a (N=kg*m/s²) m=F/a which is 250N divided by 9.81m/s² =circa 25kg). BUT if I pull slower, let's say half the acceleration, the equation comes to: 250N divided by 5m/s² = 50kg ! So, if I can't determine the acceleration that I'm pulling with, I can't know the weight that needs to show on the display. If there's no torque wrench around, I'd rather stick to (common) sense and thighten it carefully by hand.
You should do bench press and deadlifts
A pin wrench for $44? Hammer a flathead screwdriver or equally pointy and long item through your oil filter and turn. You're welcome!
Liquid gasket is fine. They use it everywhere on trucks. Just remember that you only need enough to coat the surface, don't put a layer on 5mm thick 😂
Duh we have filter opener though
MotoCancer lmfao. You always have me rolling with all the subtle jokes in your videos. Love you guys.
Impact screwdriver and a mid sized Vice Grip Plier. Not keen on the "humour."
I fucking love helicoils.
Wait--that last part ... why or how would a JIS screwdriver also act as a directional impact driver?
I don't even want to ride a motorcycle, but I love watching this shit.
Fish out the metal (aluminum) shavings with a magnet when you're done! OK
Made me laugh.
Lol that moment hes taliing about a fish scale and i causually glance iver at the 200$ toqure wrench i almost never use causenit doesnt have an aduiable or feelable click, the stock will mive just slight... wish i went fush
This is pure gold
The ads dude my god
I love your videos
Cheaper than gasket-paper is a cereal box.
Counterpoint - Timeserts are WAY better than Helicoils.
7:20 Were you trying to put that in your pocket? I definitely heard it hit the ground haha
I'd like to think that when I'm using my own torque wrench I'm pretty damn good at telling torque. Was putting my rear wheel back on(this Tuesday), torque to 85Nm. Stop myself thinking "that's 85". Check the torque wrench, yep it's set right at 84+1. Turn it down to 80 and try the nut and sure enough an immediate click. Back up to 85, it moves a few degrees and *click*.
You look like a male version of my math teacher
Ah 4:44mark I'm not a mechanic but I'm 99.8% sure aluminum isn't ferrous (not magnetic). Just sayin'.
Still saving up for a motorcycle but learning allot here
10:23 was ACTUALLY the best, lol
Anybody here have a service manual for a 2012 ninja 650? Would love to have one. Don’t really want to fork out 100$ for information that should’ve came with the bike..
I striped a spark pluck
u only need a in/lb torque wrench for bikes. dont be so cheap- a fish scale. buy good tools as u need them and you'll always have them next time. dont forget the torque formula., for an extension on the socket. any extension to socket wrench increases the torque at the end of it, and you'll overtorque stuff if you dont apply the torque formula.
Of course Motion Pro is out of the Tri-Drive. Think I'll make my own and weld a couple of 1/4" drive extensions together. Be cheaper to buy it though. Motion Pro needs a kick in the nut sack.
Oliver WHAT, ooouuu, last geek tonight. Clever clever.
Anaerobic sealent works well as a gasket because what squeezes out just dissolves with the oil
7:00 I bought a wera Cyclops speed ratchet because of that problem
before buying a padlock you MUST to check this guy´s channel ltworlds.info
Heli coils are for stripping out even bigger holes. My BMW tech promised the cylinder studs would suck the Heli coil out with the heat and cool cycles of an air cooled engine. The Time Machine Co. has come to the rescue with the Timesert. This is like a bolt with threads cut inside. These can be ordered in different lengths(which provided more purchase to the aluminum case than the stud). Also they make a Bigsert to repair the crater that Heli coils leave when they tare out. They also have a top hat on the insert to prevent the insert from threading in too far! I have a Timesert on left cylinder and a Bigsert on the right. After several years no problems. Its Timesheets all the way! Check out the Time Machine Co. website for more info.
Great videos but PLEASE lose the fake laughter. I hate tv shows with that annoying "it's time laugh" thing
This video is Gold!
Thumbs up for JIS advice, always learning something.
Man, wear wider bigger up wear because ... you know if you look at yourself. About videos-good.
Good one Ryan - but oddly, the word chamfered is pronounced with a soft ”shhh” sound not a hard “kuh” sound - so it’s “shamfered” not “kamfered”.
I knew this channel was good, but after watching this video I now know it is absolutely fantastic.
Motion pro makes a folding t wrench great for my trail kit 😎
philip is an asshole
Hey! A Suzuki 8 speed! That's a collectable!
I can't ride anymore, but I sure love watching these videos.
Instead of the t-bar i just use a screwdriver and a socket bit
That tri drive, why not just use a rattle gun
You should try using a small hammer to cut gaskets
Hand Impact driver is the BEST damn thing I ever bought....used it a Million times on stuck Phillips screws.
I almost never do this, but I legit just went and bought one of those T-Handles
Your a funny guy! Love your videos brother. Always makes me laugh.

We use chain wrenches for Oil filter
How did you get a magnet to pickup aluminum shavings? prefer Torx not phillips, change them every time I take one out
Ryan is the best
Here is another must have tool and will save you hours of aggravation. Buy a set of wobble head 1/4 inch drive extensions. Go ahead and get them in 3/8ths too.
I ordered my JIs like 2 months ago, still waiting
I found one way to screw loose the jis screws.... impact driver
Impressive amount of knowledge for such a young guy. Good content. Subscribed.
Looks like I have some shopping to do.
When we make gaskets we take the sheet, put it on the housing and gently tap the gasket to the housing creating tracer edge. Keep gently tapping and before to long you’ll have a perfect gasket without having to cut it.
Helicoils but no mention of a good click type torque wrench ? I do see the connection though; the less you use a torque wrench, the more often you use Helicoils. I like the pin wrench idea.
And some manufacturers still use SLOT-HEAD SCREWS! WHY??????????
I change the oil,and ahhhhh.. that’s about it...14mm.. that’s it.
built high end parts for machines that we put hellicoils in for the strength and long life of taking on and off was able to make it light, and a lot stronger by using them
Bullshit! Phillips, Flat, 2 or 3 slim open ends, folding allen set (metric or american), crescent wrench. These are the ones you take with you for on the road fixes. You need a tool set for bigger jobs.
