It's going to be a blend of detective work and mechanical wizardry, and I can't wait to share every step with you..
And hey, it's not just about the repair. It's about the stories these old motorcycles tell, the history they carry, and the joy of bringing them back to life. So, grab your tools (or just a snack), and let's get started on this journey together. Who knows what we'll find? 🛠️🏍️

This one is going to need a basket full of parts. I do enjoy the hunt, finding the best parts for the least amount of money. 💰 I am such a miser. Thanks for watching.

I rescued a CB200 from a hideous existence as a field bike. It had finally expired after the camchain and tensioner had given up the ghost. The camchain then started wearing channels in the front & back of the camchain tunnel. The rings, pistons & barrels were all shot too. I replaced the barrels, got some 2nd hand ones, had them rebored to suit new oversized pistons, valves re-ground, new camchain & tensioners, back together and away it went! It even passed its’ MOT first time, too. A great little bike to ride!

I sent my CB350 cam to Webb Racing Cams when it was worn. They hardweld and remachine them. I had a custom grind done to it, and it screams now.

I had a friend in high school that had one of these. He hated it for some reason. He was a smoker, and each morning before he left for school he’d sit on it and warm it up while he smoked a cigarette… with the throttle to the stop. I presume he was trying to blow it up but I don’t think it ever happened 😄 Tough little engines!

I had a CB200 from new, and did 51,000 miles in 3 years. A big-end went at 32,000 and I needed a new crankshaft assembly. My fault though - I was 17/18 and had no mechanical sympathy, so it got thrashed mercilessly everywhere (including from cold). My trip to work was mainly motorway, so it spent a fair bit of its life with the throttle against the stop (hovering between 70 & just over 80, depending on conditions). It did pretty well considering the abuse, and I've been a lot more careful since!

@motorcyclerewind 6 месяцев назад

This one has had rough life. Looks like it was oil starved on the left side of cam holder behind the points. The seal is crispy. Must have gotten really hot. Thanks so watching.

Never mind the knackered clapped out 1975 CB 200.... I tune in purely for the seemingly 1975 "wrench monkey" - everytime you swing off a wrench "The Bearded Mechanic" grows a new chin hair out of jealousy of improvisation! 😂 Seriously though - don't take that as disrespect! merely some twisted British humour - I've got maximum respect for you, like I've mentioned previously several times on the rusted Kwaka videos, you re-inspired me to get my rotting naked Deauville in my yard back up, running and ripping bends! With minimal costs... 😁😁😊😊 Forever thankful for your inspiration brother - even if my comments occasionally seem "a bit off".... In true British fashion I feel I've got so so much of a higher level of respect for you that I can also absolutely "rip on you" in the best of Red, White and Blue fashion.... Whilst still remaining humble.... {oh 5417.... R/W/B.. Isn't that your flag too? 😂😉😉😂🤣🤣🤣}

If you weren’t impressed by the CB200 wait till you see the next piece of garbage 🗑️ I bring home.😂😂😂 I love @TheBeardedMechanic! Really appreciate you watching. Your Mrs/Mr must love me for I inspiring you to get the bike out of the garden! 😂😂 BTW I love “taking a piss”. 😂 Thanks for watching.

My first thought....cam shaft! Cool vid. Keep them coming.

@motorcyclerewind 6 месяцев назад

The cam has to be replaced. The parts list is growing. Decision time. How much money do you throw at it?

@scottmoto 6 месяцев назад

@@motorcyclerewind Always a good question. I love all the vintage but we have to be realistic, too. A 200cc...hmm. I wouldn't throw a lot at it.

@schedango 6 месяцев назад

Another great video mate. Good cb200 cams are getting hard to find. I have 4 engines and 3 of them had the same cam/bearing wear. A common fix is machining the bearing area to fit a brass sleeve and machining the worn cam to suit. Also needle roller bearings can be used but then you open up a new set of problems with blowing out the oil seals.

@motorcyclerewind 6 месяцев назад

I am hoping to find an engine at the salvage yard that is usable. 🤞 thanks for watching.

Phone pics have been such a help to my fading memory. Sometimes I use video to follow whole wires from end to end. I gotta get out there and warm up my little garage and start looking again into a CM200 twin kickstart reassembly. I think there’s some dots stamped into two cogs that I’m not aligning correctly. It wouldn’t go in a few weeks ago after I took off all the aluminum engine cases for high shine polishing. I got flustered and walked away. Now it’s icy and freezing here in MD and I wish I lived in Florida so I could go on a wam ride after hopefully putting it back together. It is looking so nice. I wish we could share pictures in these comments. I’d like your take on the bike.

@motorcyclerewind 6 месяцев назад

Micah, Agree on the pics. Thankfully I video everything I do now!!!!😂 You can send me an email motorcyclerewind@gmail.com or dm on Instagram. Thanks for watching

@barrysproule1955 6 месяцев назад

Make sure the centrifugal oil filter is clean and if the feed line through the clutch cover isn’t blocked. I have seen this a few times, where a guy puts on the side cover smears it with RTv and blocks the oil feed to the head. Which ruins the bearing and cam shaft. It’s a small hole through the gasket.

@motorcyclerewind 6 месяцев назад

Yes sir. This guy is going to get a deep cleaning. RTV is everywhere. Thanks for watching.

Looks like the RTV blocked the oil passage. RTV is the enemy. Just rebuilt a CL200 top end. Starting a CB200 next.

@motorcyclerewind 6 месяцев назад

It is the worst. I know who to ask if I have any questions. Thanks for watching.

@sjv6598 6 месяцев назад

My first thought was a valve issue. Looks like it must have contacted the piston somehow but no evidence?

@motorcyclerewind 6 месяцев назад

You’re right. Gonna need a handful of new parts.

@lesmontgomery6498 6 месяцев назад

Thre an oil feed across the back for the left cam bearing. Crap can pile up at th end causing oil starvation to left cam bearing. On 350 engine the clutch case gasket would break off and pile up at left end of oil way

@motorcyclerewind 6 месяцев назад

You are correct. 👍 This one was caused by loads of RTV. Thanks for watching.

@cyclebuster 6 месяцев назад

I have a low mileage CB200t in excellent condition I could sell you. Rare Cable Disk brake. red repaint. Someone ran that bike out of oil. It got so hot the valve seized and smoked the piston. Hope the rod survived. Sadly that bike isnt worth the repair bill. I have never had a valid offer for mine in over 10 years

@motorcyclerewind 6 месяцев назад

Looks like the loads of RTV may have clogged the oil passages. I will find out if he wants to spend the money. 💰 thanks for watching.
