Not gonna lie, you moved way too quick through reconnecting the two carb half’s together. That’s the hardest part and in my opinion you should’ve spent more time on that area or atleast slowed it down so people could actually see what you are doing
Turning obsolete touring bikes into fun urban coffee shop bikes is better than scrapping them, and losing as much weight as practical improves the rather weak power to weight ratio. Don't worry about purists because they're so old the last will be dead in ten years. The only Airheads worth saving are the ancient roller bearing bikes and real S models. BTW for those who don't know you can bolt on earlier kick start gearboxes as the Airheads have high interchangeability.
Honestly that seems pretty high to me but bike prices might be higher where you live. I wouldn't go over 2k for a dohc cb750 unless it was in exceptional condition.
That’s surely a beautiful machine and well maintained. Didn’t understand some of the things that you said but I’m not a biker. Just an engineer. Enjoy your rides an hopefully you’ll not have too many breakdowns.
Complimenti! Sei molto bravo, ho 79 anni,, mi hai portato in dietro di circa 52 anni quando acquistai una BMW R 75/5 che la modificai completamente, (allora non esistevano freni a disco e montai anteriormente un tamburo a 4 ganasce) montai un serbatoio in vetroresina, una mono sella montata su piccolo telaio imbullonato sullo stesso punto dell'originale, montai una carenatura, marmitte a tromboncino, mezzi manubri, cercai anche di alleggerirla più possibile il risultato fu eccezionale (chiaramente per quei tempi che non esistevano BMW sportive), me la sono goduta per circa 5 anni, è stata la moto che mi ha dato più soddisfazioni di tutte quelle che ho avuto...Un saluto da Roma👋👍👍👍
You destroyed a beautiful motorcycle. Go get another tattoo or something and leave these beautiful old bikes to people that have the sense to appreciate them . Air Head is supposed to refer to the engine .
Hope you're doing great! :) Just a lil feedback, the change on audio from listening talking to the bike was very hard, maybe it's me being a sissy, anyhow, your videos are super high quality and I appreciate them very much :D Keep doing your thing ma'man!
Appreciate the feedback! I'm still pretty new to this whole thing so I am bound to make mistakes here and there. Getting good audio (especially in a shop environment) has been an ongoing lesson. Thanks for watching!
That's where the manufacturer designed it to mount, so I assume they took it's position into account. (I don't have any ties to eme or enduralast) The cover does block airflow, but is vented to open air, at least. We haven't had any problems with it.
I can see my 2 wheeler problem is not bad. I only have about 15. Just picked up 3 yamaha qt50's, all run really well after a bit of carb cleaning and adjusting, new oil and such. Looking at a champ for pretty cheap. Nice video and great work. I like the oil injection on such a small bike. I always make sure it works well.
Thank you so much for this video, very useful! My only slight complaint about your videos are that i prefer to just listen to the natural sound or play my own music whilst I watch tutorials, so you might be able to save yourself a lot of effort by not mixing in the music, if others are also like me that is. I'm going to attempt my first ever top end rebuild/just opening it up to look at what might be wrong with it, on a cb100n, so this video was really helpful in knowing what to expect. Thanks so much 🙏
Thanks for watching and for the suggestion. I started this channel knowing very little about filming and editing, and I've learned a lot in the years since - particularly about capturing quality audio. I used to cover up bad audio with music. Now I find I use it more sparingly. Good luck on your CB100N!
@@roodlum Ah yes this video is two years old haha I didn't notice that. I'll have to check out some of your more recent stuff. Good luck with everything and thanks again for sharing. Much appreciated.
Some beginner confusion & differences in parts which is to be expected and the shimming procedure seems unnecessary but all in all, not that bad. Then again I'm getting used to changing 19 filters and cleaning 20 magnetic plugs with their mesh screens, filling 7 different hard to reach ports with oil and then airing the system on my LC4, and still having to change worn out rocker bearings yearly... Too bad I didn't get an airhead a couple years ago when they were 3 grand. Now they are upwards of 6 with none for sale that aren't wrecked into cafe racer garage ornaments. Thanks for the clear vid, will be useful in the future.
Yes, there's nothing difficult on the airhead, it's just a lot of silly pain-in-the-ass stuff to get through. Perhaps I over-dramatized a bit... seems like the Austrians have the Germans beat on over-complicated engineering. Certain models, at least in my area, can still be had for a deal. For whatever reason, the /7's are still usually cheap here. I did get pretty lucky with the PD, those have gotten expensive in the past few years. Thanks for watching man-
I had one too! Excellent bike, if a little unexciting. I wasn't kidding in the video, except for that unfortunate trouble with the regulator/rectifier.
That's a 1970 Honda CL350, it's actually the first bike I ever owned, though it didn't look anything like it does now. Eventually I want to make a video with it, but I have to order a lot of copper rod and sheet first!
It would, though by draining the carbs, you won’t risk flooding the cylinders with fuel which can wash down past the rings and contaminate your brand new oil :)
Thanks! A pod filter requires some fussing around with the carburetor jetting, but once it is figured out, it's perfectly fine. I'd still avoid riding in heavy rain though as it's not as good as the factory intake at filtering out water.
Thanks man! The shocks are from a company YSS - you'll have to go through a distributor in your country. If you're in the US, I have used EPM Performance: epmperformance.com/ they're great to work with. The handlebars in this video are the factory ones. I replaced them with Renthal Fatbars but I just bought those at the local powersports store.
hmm, I'm not super familiar with those bikes (I've never owned a kawi myself, the GPz is a friend's bike) but the KZrider.com forums and the factory manual are probably your best bet for info. I have a video cleaning up the 2nd gen CB750 carbs which are CV carbs like yours, so a lot of that info would apply, though the small details will be different: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OoqXBuCQHFM.html We ended up replacing the carbs on the GPz since we did a big bore kit. Hope that helps!
Is there a shop that makes CB Herex style? I can't find pictures online. There are some great bikes out there in Indonesia, as stylish as anything coming from the US or Japan.
