Is this the end of Helga the Intruder? 

After years of blood, sweat, and tears...Countless hours and thousands of pounds in parts...My beloved Suzuki Intruder VS1400 has taken a huge punch to the gut.
Shortly after releasing my last video titled "I'm Back", Helga, my Suzuki Intruder, has had serious, bottom-end problems and is in need of a full-engine tear-down. Finding chunks of magnetic metal in the oil the size of nickels/pennies has left me with huge cause for concern and there is only one way to proceed...to tear her down AGAIN.
In the meantime, I found myself slipping into the dark pit of a 'biker without a bike' and took the plunge and purchased another motorcycle that I have yet to have any regrets about. I have owned my xjr1300 for no more than 3 weeks and have already covered nearly 600 miles on her.
Thanks for putting up with the shoddy consistency of late on this channel. This video is to serve primarily as an update, a mic, and a video quality test having recently built a custom vlog audio rig and I am pleased with the results. Now to fix the damn battery life problem on the GoPro and we are all systems go for the future!
See you soon folks, I hope you are all keeping well out there!

This is the biggest project I have taken on, The bike will be completely stripped down to the frame, the engine will be removed for new piston rings to be installed, the wiring harness is going to be rewired and the entire bike overhauled, ready for spring 2020....I hope.
