I'm not a professional mechanic, thou I do have a mechanical engineering degree. I'm just a motorcycle enthusiast trying to keep the bikes in good shape and running condition. These videos are not staged or directed in any way, I just record what I'm doing with some commentary (poor most of the time). But I hope it will get better with time.

Hi, I wanted to ask you for information on replacing the oil seal. Can I contact you? I am Italian and I find it difficult to understand in the video I would like to write you some specific questions or send me a purchase link where I can actually get the product thanks
@@andrewp3089 you have to excuse me but I can't find anything as I said I'm not good at foreign languages. can you send me the link to the guide? Thank you
Very nice bike, I’ve just bought a 1984 VF750F here in the U.K., needs complete restoration. I hope k get is as nice as your’s. Well done it looks amazing.
I am attempting to do the V65, I have sourced an oil seal for it which is rare as rocking horse shit in the desert with a bit of luck.. I got the retaining ring out using a pin punch. Now I going to get some grease to pump the seal out. Great video.
Hi Andy. I need help. I have a vf750 83 with a 1000f 85 lump fitted. For some reason the upper radiator seams to fail the steering going to full lock. What am I doing wrong? Should there be spacers or fan fixes straight to frame? Should the fans be touching the rocker cover? Regards John
@@andypmotorcyclechannel78 If you know of anyone, it is an official printed by Honda on heavy stock paper. Not like the 2003 civic version I just bought that is rice paper of the thinnest possible thickness. Cost for shipping can't be very much.
I am just wondering if there have been many changes in the 2009-2020 models, as far as the location of the drip plugs etc. The procedure would be basic but any special things to watch out for that you are aware of - such as special problems that occur.
i guess you didn't watch the video carefully :) take a small pin punch and hammer....knock backup ring down a little until you can remove retaining ring. Then use a grease gun filled with ATF or like i did ...use an air pump...in this case make sure orient the shock like i did and go slowly... Best is to use a grease gun with ATF, much safer
Thank you AndyP... I’ve read on forums that this shock is inadequate for the bike, was okay when new, but awful when old and tired. Have also read they can’t be serviced. You’ve proved the last claim to be untrue. But were you able to restore yours to original operating capacity? Does using a heavier oil help?
AndyP Mercedes-Benz Channel We all know that experience my friend. It’s an inspiration for me, you’ve got it looking really good. I hope you find time to complete the build soon. I haven’t even started mine yet. It’s a 1983 USA spec model (solid alloy wheels and ‘INTERCEPTOR’ decals), so rather rare here in the UK. Where are you based? Your accent sounds Romanian to my ear. Hope I haven’t offended you.
AndyP Mercedes-Benz Channel cool. My grandfather spent a lot of time in Canada. I fell in love with a beautiful girl from Romania, and she pronounced words like ‘video’ exactly the same way you do. I would really like to travel around Eastern Europe. In the UK we are fed a lot of misinformation about the region, especially Russia. Good luck with the rebuild.
@Goetmhmiac you are right, lots of people replace the shock with a more modern one if you gonna have the bike as a daily ride. My idea was to restore this bike to original
Andrew Popov also doing a restoration on a 1984 VF750F, anxious to see your progress. BTW - if your not going to powder coat the frame, highly recommend a good clear coat to protect the paint. (Recommended to me by another VFR enthusiast).😜 looking forward to more videos !!
