Millyard Kawasaki S1 Four Cylinder - Bottom End Build- Episode 5 

He’s not only ingenius on engineering but also artistic video editing. Natures in his backyard, cakes, and camera angle, cut scenes, etc. big respect.

An Allen Millyard video on Christmas day, just the perfect gift for all of us here that love your content. Thanks Allen, hope you and the missus are having a great one over there in England. Cheers from an Aussie bloke living in f-f-freezing Finland.

Allen cuts Christmas turkey with hacksaw into “just perfect” slices!

I wish your "attention to detail" was contagious. The world could use a dose. cheers🇨🇦👍

“I like using my hacksaw” - understatement of the decade

This video fitted nicely today and we're all pretty pleased with that. Thanks, Allen, and Merry Christmas everyone!

Perfect Xmas day viewing. Engineering, baking and wildlife. What more could you ask for.👍

A true mechanical genius.

This is so cool, being able to see the build in HD, even better than seeing the old builds explained in pictures.

Video work so good even a view down the pliers bending over the tab, it's the concise description with gifted video work that sets this channel apart, something for novices or seasoned engineers.

I know there’s other builders.. that said they are not Allen Millyard and company! The level of filming/lighting, story line, lovable character development and the always present feeling of accomplishment delivered with stoic serenity. The feeling of full and content but, eager to see the next episode. Excited to see the progression of the build while entertained by the antics of the animals and what delicious confectionaries Traci has conjured up to tempt Allen away from his amazing work. So you see, this isn’t just a another RU-vid build. This is family and this is Christmas. Merry Christmas Millyard family😊

Woohoo, first reaction to this video made for lovers of technology and bikes! It's alway nice to hear the calm explanation of an expert on engine modifications. Really nice to have this on Christmas morning, hope you also enjoyd the cake of your father in law, at least you know from whom your wife has learned! I love the old bakelite meter!

Shush!!! The surgeon is operating. Wonderful, Alen. Merry Christmas and greetings from Japan. Tracy's Christmas cake looks great

"I like using my hacksaw" and 180K subscribers nod knowingly..... Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones

Allen's Xmas present to us all..........a vid on Xmas morning + fresh coffee. Perfect

This man is from another world, we mere mortals can just look on in pure amazement, I think there is a magic potion in Tracy’s baking that turns Allen into a engineering genius. Happy Christmas everybody. 🙏

What more can a man need! An Alan millyard video on a wonderful new engine rebuild mince pie and a nice cup of tea. Lovely jubbly

I have been following from the very first video but it has only just struck me how brilliant the camera work and video production are, never mind the engineering!! Fantastic way to start Christmas Day, thanks Allen and the very best to you and the family!!

Perfect Christmas Day video! Have a great one Allen!

Premium content, assembled with such delicacy and professionalism, a wonderful Christmas present. Happy holidays Allen!

A Christmas treat for all of us who like to get oil under our fingernails! Many more christmas treats like this please. For those of us with RGV250cc engines a step by step rebuild like this would be very welcome. I have a 15' container full of parts if you need some. Just lack the confidence your videos give to start the work. Keep smiling and keep safe!

Merry Christmas Allen to you and your family and all the die hard fans on here, there should be a TV show because alot of people are missing out on your work and projects!

Got an “It fits PERFECT” shirt for Christmas from my dad! Indeed, it does fit perrrrrfect.

Millard is the only man I know that could actively be making eye contact with you and you couldn't be sure.

Just sneaked into the other room to watch this while the Christmas mayhem continues In the front room😂 excellent really made it look simple - I always get nervous with the gearboxes! 👍

One of the best Programmes of any Title on RU-vid, Period.

What lovely Christmas surprise. Merry Christmas Allen and your family

I have been looking forward to this. Have a Merry Christmas Allen! 🎄🎅

What a lovely Christmas gift much appreciated allen merry Christmas to all

A lot of nostalgia for me in this excellent video. The AVO multimeter that I used a lot early in my working life. The Christmas cake, one of which I haven’t had since relocating from Coventry to the USA 30+ years ago. The memory of building a Kawasaki Z1B motor on my bedroom floor, getting the bottom end completed only to see the new cam chain (driven from the centre of the crankshaft), still in its packaging.

Allen, your videos are absolutely wonderful. Virtuosic workmanship, inspiring, soothing and funny. Plus you have this rare combination of modesty and supreme confidence that only comes from being completely on top of your subject. Thanks for sharing your videos with us.

I unboxed hundreds of these bikes back in the day, Davic Motique in Sawley. Never thought I would be watching super upgrades nearly 50 years later

Best of the best

I have to thank you for the wonderful video clips you put on for us to watch, since loosing my wife to cancer on 2 Dec 2021 I find your clips allow me a moment to help with the grief. For that I thank you. I will keep pottering around in my little workshop (shed). And pretend to be as clever as you. Regards Terry.

when I hear the words “I made in the previous video”. I am so happy I watched the previous video to appreciate what has been done before

Much better than mainstream television at Christmas.

I wait for your videos every day Allen. I've built lots of XT500 motors and raced my SR500. Your skills are just out of this world. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Cheers Allen! Thanks for your regular and very insightful videos, showcasing your projects, your skill and knowledge, also showing that if you really want to put the effort into something, motorcycles in this instance, you can do quite a lot yourself! This isn't just mechanical work, it's art!

Merry Christmas to you & yours Alan..! Loved watching your content this year... A true British engineering eccentric... A quietly confident, knowledgable & creative problem solver. I myself am not particularly interested in motor bikes, but I find your eclectic content delightful... The kitchen make over is looking great, the bird table & patio are bustling with British wildlife and the thumb seems to be healing nicely... All hail the hacksaw!

All without the assistance of a Haynes manual .... Must be great to know what's what without having to consult a book every 5 minutes ... Sign of a true engineering genius 👌🔧

What can I say... your content is a biker's dream. Hats off.

It's very therapeutic watching you work and mind bending that you do it all from home. Tracy is the engineer in the kitchen, working with great skill too. Thank you for showing us all. As always it was a pleasure to watch.👍 Merry Christmas to you both. John.

Allens videos cover several areas. Not only do we watch incredible rebuilds and modifications, we also get to see what the local wildlife is up to and what's happening in the kitchen. Love the Avo Meter.

I literally just bolted into the kitchen to make that oatmeal thing Tracy was doing, minus the mincemeat. We don’t really know anything about mincemeat in America but it’s really good with vanilla ice cream. Tell her I said thank you! ❤️

Many thanks Allen, you are massively helping me in my workshop endeavours, the motivation part is often the most useful.

even its not fully assembled ..its already a masterpiece

Allen, you are a living bloody legend…. Another great vid. Just love your RU-vid style, the hack saw, the baking, it just fits perfect. 👌🏻

"I like using my hacksaw". The greatest quote of 2021! Thanks yet again for letting us see how you get it right every time, with, as someone else said "stoic serenity" (I wish I'd have said that!!)

Allen makes everything so simple he must be one of the most talented engineers around,hope you have a super Christmas

You and Tracy are the best things of yet to watch on machining and baking🎉 You're amazing and she's amazing. I know why you can't stand to not pinch one of her cupcakes😊

Thanks Allen cant get enough of this and hopefully you never run out of Kawasaki bits!

Didn't know it was possible to have 3 lifetimes of experience in 1 lifetime. This man makes everything look easy. Impressive to say the least

I just tune in for Tracy's amazing cooking !!!

Merry Christmas, Mr. Millyard to you and your family. Thank you for sharing your mechanical gifts with us and showing the power of a well wielded hacksaw🌲😃😃🌲

Lovely video. Looks so easy when you do it. Looking forward to next video!

Top Notch assembly ! I love that you name and adress every part while working... There is imo no better way to learn & remember than this way! Thank you and happy hollyday Greetings from Germany . I love your Videos !

All I want for Christmas is an Allen Millyard video - Oh thankyou Santa! Happy Christmas Allen and all the best for the NewYear

Funny that Allen seems to be as impressed by the magic in Tracy's cooking, as we all are by Allen's machinist sorcery (debonnaire as it is). Thanks for the inspiration, and keep on trucking Sir !

Not an engine man myself, more a polish, paint and chrome guy, but watching your videos is giving me the confidence to look at stripping down and rebuilding my engines. I may start with the 2 stroke first! Great video! 👍

Brilliant. No open workshop manual to be seen, so assume you know the procedure by heart. Lord Millyard has a nice ring to it. 😊

My compliments to you sir. This is the best documented DIY i've seen for long time.

Toujours formidable les vidéos joyeux Noël

Morning and happy Christmas everyone

Happy crimbo everyone, thank you for the vid Allen. 🥳🥳

Merry Christmas Allen! I hope you and your family are having a wonderful day. The motor looks amazing. Flap Jack would probably be a crumble or crisp in the state, it looks delicious. I love those old Kawasaki triples (quadruples) maybe when I get my car projects finished I'll look for a 500 to restore?

Unmissable Christmas viewing. Engines and Christmas Culinary Comestibles. My festive season is complete!

Gosh the AVO. Brings back so many happy memories. What an engineering feast of riches you have given us on Christmas Day, not to mention food too!. Thank you for sharing your skills with us in such an informative and engaging way.

Nice present for a Christmas morning.. Best wishes to the Millyard family

Awesome, really enjoying this build.

Looks like another day of watching mr Millard chief engineer and Charlie having a few drinks 👍👍👍👍👍

Very therapeutic Xmas day viewing, I almost got my spanners out, but did a bit of woodwork instead. Took note of leaving engine for couple of days to let sealant seal before topping up with oil. I`d`ve been sacked, or would`ve had to sack myself if I`d done that during my agricultural/heavy plant/motorcycle/car mechanic trade days, haha.

Fantastic. For him it's so easy to create and assemble the parts. Most fascinating is cutting an engine by hand with that precision.

Superb Allen, massive thanks for putting this amazing content together; your skill, filming and Traci’s baking are just perfect.

Hi Alan you just made my Christmas, thanks for that best wishes to you from NZ.😉

Just perfect for Xmas Day Allen - Merry Christmas to you both. Your knowledge of all the working parts is amazing - Thanks for the videos and see you in the New Year 👍

Christmas songs on radio one while playing Allens video, couldn't be better!

I absolutely love these videos, so therapeutic, or is it good just watching a genius at work?

I don't want to think how many 2 stroke Kawasaki's you have put together to make it look so easy. Top work! Tracey has basically made 2 slabs of anzac biscuit with fruit mince in between. Two of my favourite sweets in one convenient package.

Merry Christmas to you and your family Allen, and thanks for all your great video`s

machine assembly with simple tools .good job

I'm learning so much, thank you!

I realise a man of your talents must have become accustomed to plaudits from the highest echelons of the motorcycling world, but an Ichiban Moto sticker?! High praise indeed.

So much knowledge in one Man's brain. Thanks for the GREAT content. Merry Christmas 🎄 to one and all.

What a wonderful gift. The gift of Allen.

Merry Christmas to you and your amazing wife! I’ve been studying to be a physician this last year and I think these are the only videos that have kept me sane. You’re method of storytelling as you explain the task at hand is quite relaxing! Great work as alway Allen!

When one comes running from the side at a full gallop there's nothing you can do to avoid it but you really handled it well. I had the same thing happen to me only luckily I was in my car at the time but same scenario. It's hard to get your insurance to understand the deer hit you not the other way around. I didn't have video. Thankfully you did.

Hi 👋 Allen. I've worked on a number of Kawasaki triples during the 70's/80's which includes converting a KH250 with S2 350cc components with 26mm KH400 carbs. It was at a later stage I fitted a complete S3 400 air box 📦 and complete clutch having determined that the S1 250 item couldn't handle the power. This bike in green meanie colour scheme actually beat a H1 Mach III over the quarter mile in a time of 13.1 seconds/90 mph at a run what you brung, Long Marston 1981 with my younger brother riding. He also wheelied a Honda XR500 both ways along the quarter mile earning the name of 'The wheelie bike' that day, happy days and Christmas 🎄 wishes.

There’s something on TV about the Hubble telescope but I’m watching real science! Thanks Allen, Hope you had a great Christmas Day 👍

Great video, always love seeing how motorcycle transmissions work. I agree with your statement too, polishing metal to a shine is a very therapeutic thing!!!

Allen 14:08 before we get Tracey's Tasty Teatime Treats! There was me thinking you had forgotten. What a Double Act!

Thanx Allen For passing on all your teachings 👍 Experience and Knowledge it’s all Awesome 😎

I get all my baking recipes from these brilliant videos! Keep up the great work!

Perfect watching for an otherwise dull and dreary day here in Lincolnshire.Thanks for posting.

These genius's make it look so bloody easy!

That was my favourite Christmas present. Great work Allen as always, very interesting. Happy and a healthy new year to you and your family. Alan.

A great way to start Christmas Day. Cheers Allen

He is one on his own would love to spend a day with this genius 👍🏼👍🏼

Mr Millyard is an artist, passionned and making beauty. And all artists, a little crazy.

Just watched this video after the family have gone....perfect end to a Christmas Day . Thank you for your lovely Christmas present Allen. Looking forward to the head rebuild.
