    Ok, I saw a video one of you guys posted that came from youtube and it got me to thinking: Why not have one thread with several of the most common repair and/or test, maintenance, etc videos. Then we could refer several of the common questions to one place and if it works well, we will even make it sticky.

    First off, it needs to be as concise as possible. Preferably VFR if possible, but not necessary when dealing in general info. Second, it needs to be one you have watched and found useful. If you just searched youtube to crosspost, it won't help us much. We need ones that you yourself have watched and you could even put a little mini-review in your post before posting the video.

    Make sense?

    Great one for regulator testing.Diode testing which lot of riders don't perform. At 10.30sec video explains very clearly.I like the whole thing myself from the beginning.

    I think this is a great idea. I just picked up my VFR last month and was searching all over the interwebs for info about it and many of the links led me here. What a great site!

    Anyways, I found some useful stuff on YouTube in addition to the forums here that helped me change the oil, bleed my brakes, and flush and change my coolant today. I couldn't have done it otherwise, so if there is a way that we can centralize all of this stuff into one place for future me's looking for help, I'm down to help!

    Here's one I used when I needed to repair my plastics. They have several and I watched them all. I bought the plastifix from Amazon.com, and it's just about as easy as it looks in the video.
