Well here is some feedback for ya.

First off, pretty good vid. Informative, good flow, but lacking in the structure.
I know, I know... it was done on the fly. But as I continue with this, It should help for your future vids.

Pre-job setup - Make it so that the "work" is done and that you have it ready to quickly work with and inform the viewer of any trouble or things to look out for during the staged work or shortly after.

Get a stand - One thing that people hate is a shaky and out of focus camera. Invest in a cheap stand to keep your camera still and in focus.

Lighting - Have a couple of lights ready for dark shots. Use a sheet or foggy glass to soften the light.

Speech - Know what you will say before you say it. It helps to script your speech prior to taping. A well delivered speech keeps the attention of the viewer
on the subject at hand.

Use of tools and materials - It helps to show how to properly use a tool and how to apply it to the materials. Someone who has never or don't know how to properly use a particular tool should see first hand how to do so.

Preferences/Advertising - Keep the ads and personal preferences till the end of your vid. In the last 5 mins or so, you can take this time to review the tools and parts.
This should be shot before the tutorial, and can be placed at the beginning of your vid. It is up to you.

Sound - One thing that gets overlooked is the quality of sound. Speech and took vary in amplitude. When speaking, speak loud and clear. When editing, lower the volume of the vid if a tool makes a loud sound. Never talk over your tool sounds.

So I hope this helps. You are on the right track and I think this review should help you to improve your video recordings.
Overall the video you made has the right elements, some which can be improved on.
I hope this will also help anyone else doing a tutorial.

Nice thank you. I'm glad you think I'm on the right track. You know I've never found a "How to" for a 250es swingarm. I hope it is useful.
