"I bet you already own a siphon hose" Well... I've been watching this channel for over 2 years and I still don't own a motorcycle :D
Same here lol
Then the hose will be much less costly than the bike.
All Roland's have a great sense of humor!
@@lifted_above Especially if you find a bike on the side of the road with a flat.
@@kozy41 looooooooool! Loved your response xD
You just won't understand this until you've seen it play out. ~RF9
Will try and report.
1000IQ
I see what you did there ...
Cool video!
What shoes are those at the beginning of the video Ryan? Looking for a new pair of casual riding shoes. Those looked prerty cool.
"ay ryan, take the tire and walk along the shore for cinematic purposes" "for how long ?" "ill tell you when to stop" *giggity*
KEEP GOING!!!
FURTHER!!!
HAVEN'T GOT THE SHOT YET!!!!!
A LITTLE BIT MORE!!!
A little more! A little more! And we're done. Ah Shit i wasn't recording.
"An internal combustion engine is basically just an air pump", they said. And FortNine listened.
Does the sucked in fuel cause any problem in the tire?
@@profer0z279 I was wondering the same thing!
I would think as long as your fuels shut off then it shouldn’t be to bad
@@profer0z279 i am not positive for injection models, but a lot of carburetted models have a gas shut off valve (also called a petcock), just set it to "off" and you won't pump any gas in your tire but if you get any in the tire (whatever's in the float or in the tubes) normally it shouldn't cause problem to the tire, it's not like you spray acetone or some other such solvent
@@quentintin1 For injection models just unplug the fuel pump relay
This explains chemistry better than my teacher. Congrats.
Him doing the reaction formula made me even miss chemistry 😂 😂
@@11erikson For real I suddenly missed highschool because of that part.
"This" giggity
Balanced that reaction like a pro
That seems to be a low bar to overcome ;-)
As always, Ryan and the whole FortNine crew putting out extremely high quality content for us all. FOR FREE. Thank you so much! Hope you all are staying safe, healthy, and sane 😁👍
and somehow without some stupid ass sponsor
The ad revenue is real and these serve as ads to an extent to be fair.
@@GameCyborgCh Without some sponsor like some motorcycle store that would be called FortNine and their logo would be this channel logo... Oh wait.
fyi, the whole fortnine crew is ryan and the dude with the camera. they do all the work
@@stopstalkingyouspookybastard somebody still has to allocate all the production funds, request products, run the website, edit, schedule trips and test rides... while those are specifically related to video content, I'm sure there is also a FortNine warehouse where they ship/store their in-stock products that they sell on their website. I was apart of a company like FortNine a few years ago and our video production crew consisted of 5 people at MINIMUM. There was a lot of behind the scenes work I had never been apart of but thankfully got to see in the works. (I was tasked with "Brand Relations", which is basically the allocation of products, vehicles, and the like.
3:48 - My in-line 4 engine with top mounted spark plugs and no kick starter just laughed at my face.
Start the engine on 3 cylinders and the fourth is an air pump. Fill that tire in no time at 6k!! lol I know from plenty of experiences, that cb350 will run on one cylinder no problem.
@@gueto70 The spark plugs are in between the engine and the tank, so in order to access the spark plugs, the whole tank needs to be removed, in that case you're better off finding a real pump. Lol.
plug in the exhaust to the tyre then
fidel catsro serious question. Is that actually a good idea? Would it work? I mean it's CO2 but what about the rest of chemicals?
@@cellshaded this guy is talking out of his ass. The exhaust isn’t just an engine fart. It’s the lungs of the engine. You wanna choke out your engine?
Why is this man explaining chemical equations, moles and adnospheric pressure better then my teacher.
then? i guess you were never paying attention anyway
This donator tube, works nice when you are taking air from near by parked cars ;)
Hey! We do not speak of that.
Oh! Now I want one!
I once cut my aorta shaving, and I used this donator hose to syphon blood from strangers in the street. Literally a life saver.
they won''t notice in their cages anyway until its time for a service
You aren't supposed to say it out loud? The cages don't even notice a few liters of missing air!
Lesson learned the hard way: Any time you crank an engine with the spark plug removed, give that spark someplace to go. The easiest thing to do is pop the plug back into the end of the ignition lead, and wedge the plug up into the chassis. If you don't do this, the ignition will still make sparks, but they will be forced to arc through the dielectric insulation in your coil, leaving pinhole burns, and another possible path to ground. Your engine becomes hard to start, but idles OK, and then stumbles and misses when the throttle is opened wide. The only cure is a new coil.
Chris Kelsey putting on your kill switch gets rid of this problem, specially when doing it with a starter.
Holy poop you just just solved a stumbling problem I've been having. Thank you
Makes sense. On my lawnmower there's a spike on the engine head meant to hook the sparkplug wire on while your diagnosing it.
@@javierarchila7173 On a motorcycle, absolutely.
well if your on the road there is actually an easy temporary fix by coating the surface with oil and wrapping it with electrical tape..
Correct way to watch F9 videos: 1. Like video 2. Proceed to video
I think what you meant to say is: 1. Like video 2. Share video with fellow riders 3. Proceed to video
@Rod Rebman Not necessary...the merit is assured.. :)
Survival Tip: Keep a well charged smartphone at all times so you can stream FortNine videos in a pinch
I love Fortnine's video production quality and witty humor while also keeping it educational. Keep up the good work:)
They've taken a right turn into very high quality. There's been a few videos in the past where he went over the top and i was scared the future was film student mediocrity. Seems like they went back to what made this channel awesome a few years ago, refined it, and brought us some really easy to watch content.
I legitimately NEVER comment stuff like "good job" or "love your content", because truthfully, I think KZhead promotes extremely low-quality content, and that's what 99.9% of it is. But your content man. Seriously, amazing. Your production quality is absolutely top notch, miles better than television even. 800K subs is nothing to gawk at, but you're seriously destined for something BIG with this quality, some networks gotta pick you guys up eventually.
How are these F9 videos so freaking good Everytime! Everytime I see it in my feed thinking "Oh cool another F9 vijeo." But by the end I'm just blown away by the simple, classy, elegant showmen ship. Maybe it's a Canada thing...? Thank you F9...thank you.
One thing is that they don't neccessarily release videos every week just for the sake of it. They release one when they have something that's worth it. Most KZheadrs should take note.
@@zedpoutine they have that freedom as the YT channel does not live on it's own merit, as it's just a branch of F9, which sells MC clothing and accessories. many KZheadrs do that because they made the error to rely on YT to make their bread, and the only way to make money on YT is to post everyday and hope enough people see your vids to that the check you get from YT actually pays the taxes, this is why a lot of them get sponsorships nowadays as it pays well (we are talking up to 6 numbers per video)
Another AvE watcher here, or was vijeo accidental?
I find it egotistical to think you've uploaded because it's my birthday. But I'm very happy nonetheless, thanks F9 team!
Wishes fam
Happy birthday! ~RF9
@@FortNine I see this as an absolute win. Thank you!
@@kozy41 Lockdown has me limited on 20 square kilometers of mostly city roads... Not very fun on a Versys 650... Thanks though mate!
happy birthday dude 🏍️
I'm 100% positive that I will never try any of these methods to inflate a tire, but boy was it fun to watch as always!
One more proof that Ryan is Bear Grylls for motorcycles.
Even better
Don't drink the coolant!
Nah bear grylls is a scam, Ryan has actual useful information
@@manedwolfwithagmailaccount1478 Ok, than Kyle Hill for motorcycles, how's that.
MacGyver
I will be 70 YO next April.....I am just now beginning to realize that I should not have sat at the back of every school room I was in....... I am putting together the air hose today.....It will have a permanent home on the inboard side of one of my Tusk boxes on my KLR. I am sooo glad to be a subscriber.... Yer pretty smart.....Fer a youngster! LOL
It never ceases to amaze me the length you're going to explain something seemingly simple yet so complicated. And the crazy thing is I understand it by the end. Awesome job guys!!
So impressed! Chemistry, common sense, and wit! Can't get better.
Best production quality on KZhead, thank you :)
Ryan is the GOAT of motorcycle information. Thanks again.
This is one of the most practical videos on roadside motorcycle service I've seen; nice job FortNine!
The Right Stuff line filled me with so much damn joy!
I learnt so many things, but I don't even own a bike. What am I doing here!
You are here because you enjoy quality video's as opposed to clickbait
Plus it will be more fun once you get one!
You are learning! About tire inflation techniques, about chemistry, and about the artistic mastery of the Fortnine team.
Preparation for when you get one!!
you are being entertained and informed, all for the price of a free cup of coffee
Found this channel through the "Top 5 bad used motorbike signs" Absolutely love the production quality. Love it!!
I am really happy that I have subscribed. I know many tricks regarding motorcycles but FortNine keeps surprising me with new stuff I have never heard about. That cant be said about many youtube channels. Great content!!!
"...go all Lockhead Starfighter and eject its chuck." I'm stealing that!
First off excellent video just watched before I finish my coffee and go for my morning walk. For some reason this video makes me feel old, considering I'm coming up on 43 years of riding motorcycles, I think of all the flat tires I had and mended over years, every motorcycle I have own has had a least one or more flats on it. I don't consider it tire repair most if not all kits are just to get you on the road. I'm old enough to remember when the shops repaired tires and not automatically just sell you a new one I learned how to do inside patches and plug in Motorcycle Mechanics School, my old 1983 Kawasaki GPZ 550 repair manual even had a section in it on how do it. I have tried just about all the repair kits on the road, the ones with the rope type plug, glue, and the T-handles the break first you use them, I've patched tubes, I have carried the CO2 kit, a small bicycle hand pump and even at one time had that valve thing that screwed into a spark plug and supposedly pumped air into a tire, the one time I needed it to work it didn't. I even used one of those foot pumps, people with bad knees and ankles (like me) shouldn't use those. Currently I use Dynaplugs and one of their pumps the kit fits into a small case. I do like the chucks and air hose setup I might have to make one up I got an old bicycle pump Im not fond of. 😆 The fire thing I've seen videos of Russian truck drivers doing that. FortNine is definitely a 👍 I shared this video on facebook.
I am absolutely amazed by your amount of knowledge. Subtle references to decades old events with pretty much no words wasted. Absolutely amazing video quality.
I’ve used ether for years on my farm to seat tires, and never thought about the science involved till now. Thank you!
Dnepr (Ural) off road rider trick: Carry a small bicycle pump with you, one of those whose with 2 openings, so it can work on more or less any type of valves, even tho these might seem to be inefficient at pumping a tire up to around 30PSi, it is plausible, especially if you have an old motorcycle with an inner tube. on the other hand, you can get a foot or hand pump, specially made for pumping either car or motorcycles tires, for around 30USD online, that can be quit compact and efficient.
bicycle pump it is. takes some time. but its very small and reusable. not like those co2 canisters.
Any recommendations for a specific model? I've been thinking about getting one for the car to top off a few psi if necessary, if it's completely flat it's time for the spare / professional help anyways. But everything I've found so far looks pretty flimsy, and life is too short for shitty tools . . .
When riding in a group there’s always a pedant with a pump. Always carry a 90 degree valve adapter. It’s needed at most forecourt tyre pumps.
Well, then just replace "riding group" for "nearby parked cars"...
My 3 bikes have a compact bicycle pump stowed as well as a string kit. I learned many years back that those little gas bottles are a sad, frustrating expensive waste of time and money. Love your clips Ryan.
Love your videos! Always straight to the point and effective! Thank you for all the pointers! Have binge watched them as soon as I found your channel
As always, great content. Thank y’all
Thanks, Ryan fantastic content and a lot of drama for a flat tyre :)
Thanks for posting in these difficult times. Love this channel
Ryan, my dude.... You are WAAAAYYY TOO GOOD AT THIS! I for sure watch your videos for the info but low key I just admire your work. Each video is a masterpiece.
I don’t even comment anymore because how many “Wow this great”’s do you do before it loses its meaning? But, wow, this is great.
I’ve done the fire measure in order to seat a semi tire once before, it’s terrifyingly awe inspiring when it happens.
Nice but do I have to remove tire
This is the first channel that makes me feel like getting involved and commenting. Thanks for the info and humour
Forth Grader? I must have been massively stunted as I did not discover the Powered Torch until 6th grade. But again: Again: Good Job RyanF9! I see the comment regularly that this is the best Motorcycle related content on YT but after nearly exhausting your library I am convinced you have the best "Do-It-Yourself" content on the Inter-Web! I watch everything from Auto-Centric to Xylophone Repair and Race/All Terrain/Off Road/4X4 to DIY of every topic and I do not see the consistent high quality and creative thoughtfulness of F9. Nobody, Nowhere, Knowhow
Use the first method to steal tire pressure from parked cars🤣
Hey Ryan, can you guys do an updated video on good beginner gear. I know you did one a few years back but some of those items aren't available anymore and there seems to be a lot of new offerings on the market.
Falih Ikram Excellent idea. All the help new riders can get actually will benefit us all in safety and fun. I've been a biker since I was born, riding since 1968. It's good to meet and help new bikers. It's a way of life!
My recommendation would be to look for higher end used gear. There tends to be a lot of great stuff on eBay and the likes for a fraction of the price if you're willing to spend a little time searching and don't mind something that's been worn before. I'd still recommend getting a new helmet though.
Cycle Gear
Just buy used gear my dude.
Wow, these are some serious MacGyver tricks! Kudos to you, Ryan.
Hey Ryan, You never stop to amaze, simple practical solutions for every day problems which people face. Keep it up buddy
yeah I was rummaging around wholesale bikes that my dealership is going to get rid of that I just managed to snag myself like 3 45 gram cartridges and a Chuck, goes perfectly with the dyna plugs I carry everywhere
Great work 🖖
Good lord. This is amazing quality content. The use of chemistry in that way was amazing. I'm so impressed with your work!
So many lovely touches to this video and lots of information that is nowhere else on the web. Im gonna try the tire to tire bead seating. Fingers crossed it works
Legend has that Ryan is still walking with the rear tyre in hand.
Actually Ryan walks on water motorcycle-wise. Kevin.
In a word... fantastique!
Again, Ryan delivers a high quality, informative, and humorous motorcycle video. Many thanks, Ryan!!
FortNine, the MacGyver of motorcycling. Thanks!
this is mind blowing 👍
Being that I'm a chemistry major I enjoyed this very much haha.
You guys never stop to amaze me with this SMART content. Keep em coming!!!
just found this channel. It's absolutely underrated. The filming, editing, content and the presentation are great! Hope you get more subs and views in the future!!!
Really good cake 🍰 advice 👌😎 with good icing entertainment 👍
Would be a good idea to shut the fuel off to the carbs and hold the engine at full throttle, or for efi pull the fuel pump fuse. Gasoline in the tire just sounds bad.
Wow. A comment about the topic of the video on FortNine channel? I thought they are forbidden here, since every other one of them is useless.
And also, ground the sparkplug wire to prevent coil damage
Hi there FortNine,thank you for some great tips,if you suffer a flat tyre & dont have an inflator at hand,thank you friend,keep the fab videos coming 🙂🙂🙂
Dude, your skills on videography are on top! truly love the visuals!
Bruh.... Do something like... "cheap bike, Big adventure" like u did in $500 bike video.... We're waitin for one 👌👍👌👍👌
It hurts that I also know the Chemical reaction that heptane has when it’s completely combusted in oxygen... it also hurts that Ryan is a better chemistry teacher than the one i’ve got... Chemistry with Ryan series confirmed?
tell Aneesh i love him just as much as i love you Ryan and everyone else at Fortnine, just bought a new pair of gloves and brake lever from Fortnine.ca, thanks again, keep the content coming.
you make some really well crafted and educational content. I absolutely love it. Keep up the good work.
Love from India mate!
Great vid as always, thanks mate! One small error though : the bottle isn't freezing because of something endotermic, because there are simply no reactions at all. These are simply the consequences of the ideal gaz law (PV=nRT) . #mytwocents
"Endothermic" is not just a chemistry term, it can apply to any process that sucks up heat. He's using it correctly.
Thanks for the awesome content as always Ryan & Team!
Love the channel. Love the content. Bought a Tee and a sticker to support it. Keep on keeping on Ryan and the F9 crew
Instructions unclear, houses now on fire...
last time i was this early, ryan has vstrom for his bike
your quality and the story telling is top notch..
Ryan I always look forward to your segments, especially during these times of shelter in place so nice to see great quality work! Please consider reviewing the new line of integrated airbag riding gear that has recently come on the market . Many choices but not sure what direction to go in.
As a cyclist I can tell Co2 cartridges are a rip-off even for us.
$5 for a pack of 10 that you'll use over the course of 3 years, maybe if you ride a lot? Not really a rip-off IMO
Get them from a culinary, pet, or paintball supply they're dirt cheap there
i like it, all about tire inflation then at the end you throw a valve on the floor to go into someone elses tire lol
Thats a nice makeshift compressor you made there removing the sparkplug. Who would have thought! Genius stuff man.
Kudos to the FortNine team for ANOTHER great video! The "Proof of Concept" written on the balloon was the sort of humor (I know...for you, it's "humour") I've come to know and love. I'm glad you're part of the motorcycle community!
This is some truly MacGyver S*!T !! 👍🏍️
At the end I thought Ryan was going to huck that dead tyre into the river when he picked it up
Very well made video as always, great job! I appreciate all the knowledge you give us
I don't even ride motorcycles but this channel is a favorite. I love the personal asthetic. You guys film intros that remind me of better call saul and breaking bad
Yo Cameraman..High-5
3:50 Why not run the Engine on the remaining cylinder(s) ? Am I missing something?
You should only do this with a fuel injected engine, just take of the injector electrical connector. With a carburated engine you will also pump fuel into your tires. Not so good... (I love my old boxer)
Thanks RF9 for another useful and informative video keep up the good work 👍
That compression tester to tire pump idea is genius. I just have to make sure to remove my other three spark plug boots first but with the electric start... I need to go make myself a little kit right now for my bike
YES! FIRST!
you were actually first gg
Is it possible to inflate the tyre by CO2 from the exhaust via a tube to the tyre ???😉 Edit : actually some genius have done this already 😂😂😂😂 👉kzhead.info/sun/l5abYtyXqoeHlps/bejne.html
A KZhead channel like this (quality content) should have more subscribers.
I managed to seat (then inflate to pressure) my front tire with a bicycle pump. It was a real pain trying to pump fast enough, then filling the whole tire. Good reminder to not let the pressure get that low next time!
“How to inflate your tire without a pump” *Don’t deflate them*
First
Can this channel be any better? I dont think so! Great work as always!!!
Great video a nice boost to these not do happy times , thanks to Rf9 and and all the fortnine crew 👍👍
Great idea, lets pump some fuel into the tyres lmao. using the engine to pump up a tyre isnt such a smart idea
Why not? Gotta keep those tires toasty in the twisties
Nothing To See Here Beats the hell out of walking out of the bush etc
@@mistaepik should be marketed as a feature
Woohoo I'm second.....
I really need to say i love this Channel, it got me into motocylces, i own 2 now. Greetings from germany, ride safe everyone, and special greetings to FortNine you guys are awesome!!!
I watched a trucker in Brazil use lighter fluid to seat the bead on a big truck tire. KABOOM! It worked!
