Wow! For most people wanting to get a case repaired, the answer from most commercial shops would be "no". And if they did, the costs would be prohibitive. This is truly an example of ingenuity and craftsmanship at its finest. Nice job and great to see another bike saved from the parts bin.
Exelente contenido muy buena calidad de edicion y sobretodo gran trabajo estoy a la espera del proximo capitulo un saludo... Excellent content, very good editing quality and above all great work, I am waiting for the next chapter, greetings
Hi, maybe damaged 2nd gear pinions. The problem is you have to split the cases to check. It also might be the selection locking mechanism behind the clutch. Maybe check that first.
Putting back together what thought blown head gasket. Gasket not blow and just tightening the head bolts would of probably resolved. Big job, waste of time. It's was ten times easier putting a entire engine in in one piece, then this tear down. Waste of time. My recommendation is instead of tear down, just replace engine as a whole.
Yes, replacing the engine is much faster and can be cheaper. You just have to be sure the engine you get is in good condition. For me it was also as hobby so I don't mind spending the time.
@@jh-tech5546 Very cool video mate, thank you. A very long time ago I did two seasons of racing on a 350LC. It was a magical experience. Those were good days.
<Translated: Did you happen to remember to put a bump stop/buffer on the shock absorber rod? Well, great job.> Thank you. Yes for a short moment. I don't think there is one on from the factory so I left it like that. But I think in case this shock absorber doesn't work well in the future it should be replaced.
I just picked up a blue red and white 85. The only available graphic kit is the red and white like this one, which I think looks way better. Question is, is the red a slight metallic or pearl or just a bright red?
The red is a two stage metallic or pearl. To be honest I don't know the difference between the two. It is not a bright red. I got a decal kit from The Image Works in the UK but as you can see mine is a hybrid. It is a 87 with the 85 front fairing so I could not use the decals on the rear.
You keep inspiring me dude! Question: Do you sell these after you're done restoring them? Or are you keeping them for your own collection? Either way, it's really cool.
Thanks for the comment. For now I still have all the bikes. And would like to keep them in my collection if possible. I won't be riding this one I think. But I have restored it ready to ride.
Thanks Ken. I am really happy with the end result. The fairings have not been restored apart from repairing some cracks but no paint job. So it still has some scratches and small cracks here and there but I will leave it for now. Yes, FZ, FZR and YZF 750 an 1000 (Thunderace) have a lot in common.
Thank you! Good question. I didn't do any tracking of time but was curious too. So I took all the episodes at real speed and in total it takes 2 hours and 43 minutes. Of course that is assuming all the parts and tools are ready to grab. And also spending lots of time searching for the right bolt or nut on each component.
Great video! I have a 1984 XT600 that I love, but it has almost 50,000 miles on it now and is beginning to leak oil from what looks like the head gasket. Is it possible to replace the top end gaskets without removing the engine? Thanks!
Thanks for the comment. I did not have the engine in the frame but what I can see from this video it is possible: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2g-hGK5K7Gg.html
In the UK, Vehicle Wiring Products for generic crimps, etc. For ones specific to bikes (such as the odd coloured ones used on Yamahas) try Kojaycat. The ones used here appear to have come from Yambits
Hello sir ! How do you do to start your restoration after me and finish before me ? 😅 I love your projects ! You're so meticulous and your bikes shine like the Sun ! They look like new ! 0km to the odometer 😉 Otherwise, my project is a ninja, a Kawasaki ZX-10 from 1988.
Thanks for the comment. I jsut do step after step :) Wen I don't feel like wanting to work on it I just do a small simple thing and so it still progress.
I got almost done. The caps on the lifters got scrambled and put in a different order. So, I heard I have to feeler gauge something and adjust? How? What? Last phase of getting back together.
Be honest...did you had some emotions and anxiety for the first start????even if you know you did everything by the book,i still get shivers when i first start the engines after ive been inside of them...😅
