@@craigbrown7956 Hi Bruv!

@@craigbrown7956 learn the language you'll thank yourself for it.... And when you do you will find yourself qualified to begin your education that will never stop for the rest of your life... And again my motorcycle education as early as 9 years old I'm now 71 I've been to all technical skills for the University of Illinois and engine trade schools from every automotive manufacturer working through dealerships as a technician... And when I hired on at a Honda dealer in 1975 as history was still was Honda's industrial revolution of motorcycles which became the most enlightening education I have ever got as I was taught by the world famous tuner of all times as Honda had hired the master and guru none other than pop Yoshimura to teach a student's everything there is to know that goes on inside of every type of engine that I never received through University training and there's not a day goes by without finding new discoveries .... As I was told graduating from college in 19 69 congratulations you now have the tools to begin your education that never ends

@@donniebaker5984 Hi Donnie Theres two Craig Browns here in the comments which explains the "hi's" Correct,one never stops learning and I love the pursuit of knowledge. I wish i had some body to teach me back in 1970 when my 1969 CB750 {$1485 ] put a chain through the sand cast crankcases and it would have been even better if somebody had told me "don't sell it, hehehe. I also learnt the hard way later on with the CB conrods and 70mm bores, Pop's would heat treated them for me. You're a lucky man Donnie, to have met the great Pop's, not many Kamikaze Pilots survived WW2. Sayonara.

amen

What carburetor did they use

@@verntreat4162sorry I am not sure on the carb used.

I would have prefered to see some acceleration runs from stopped instead... Wheelies are not representative of engine power.

@@altair7001 you already know the power, that's what the dyno is for. Acceleration runs with no timing will tell you absolutely nothing. Not to mention it probably makes too much power to be able to use full throttle in 1-4th gear at any decent rpm.

Agree. I haven't watched the channel for awhile. He has brought me back.

Yeah genius, this engine has a 60HP normally.

The big change in compression ratio and higher displacement tends to increase power on the entire rev range.

@@polemonek learn about wheel horsepower and crank horsepower before you comment. Also, there's a difference between XR650L and XR650R

@@sepg5084 you can’t fix ignorance

Where there is a will, there is a way. Ive cut piston skirts and cut port windows into sleeves to resurrect a bike or 2 when nothing was available.

You can tell the man has passion, enjoys his craft and takes pride in his work. Just by the way he describes and explains why he’s doing something tells you he knows what he is talking about.

Tatro machine check put that channel for custom machine work

@Arthur Engle , He used & mentioned Pi (π) 3.14 to calculate the circumference of the Cylinder according to his specs.

I literally just posted the same thing...I would love to see the BRP!! I have a 2007 model and am always looking for more power. I have header full exhaust uncorked and still want more power 😜

Agreed

Agreed, we need more shop content even if it takes another channel. Are y’all with me?

Yea me but I’m not a kid

@@teedun9413 same I'm mid 30s but would love to get tought these skills

Really

@Lex Riordan I have no idea what that even means. What is being checked in life?

@@danjim7056 Being taught taut life skills that you`ll have successfully assimilated. Need intellect combined with the golden touch that sticks ;)

This guy isn't a mechanic he's an engineer 👍

@@chrisdilz Nobody told the people of the day that there was a difference!!! Nowadays,you get to be a parts counter inventory,-complaints person OR a parts replacement,diagnostic technician??? True mechanics that not only know what they are doing, but also Care ,are few and far between! Excellent worksmanship,personality and passion for his trade, make this fellow stand way above most! Just my Humbled opinion!

@@chrisdilz Thank you for your reply! I had just started to go down the comments ,when I seen yours and some other positive as well! Would have cringed badly if Anyone started the usual negatives I have come so used to seeing.Fortunately, their seem to be many of us that can still give credit where credit is due,And brings me to feel much closer to our fellow motorcyclists,those that keep e"m running and the awesome folks like Jeff that must have spent more than one sleepless night out working in his shop! Thank you all fellow riders,Mechanics, And the future of the trade!

@@charlesfriend9557 It's what most if not all customers want and that's why we mostly have only mechanics left that are parts replacing monkeys. Who is willing in this day and age to throw a lot of money into old bikes and restore them and maybe even improve them when you can get way better and newer bikes for less? Also not every workshop has the tools shown in this video let alone someone who is skilled enough to use them to full effect. It's mostly service jobs these days. New tyres, new brake pads, new brake discs and oil/filter changes. Anything else requires a lot more effort, time and money that only a few customers are willing to spend. And those customers are going to very special workshops that are truly few and far between. Most of the really expensive work is done under warranty which is free for the customer. For getting most out of new 4-stroke bikes which are EFI, you need a dyno and most of the workshops just don't have that. So, that will leave you with service jobs and parts replacements. And even that is fucked up by workshops because the pay is low and the work ethic of mechanics is low. I live in Germany and bike mechanics here are earning minimum wage or slightly above. Only really good and big workshops with only a few left are paying well.

Do you know the name and were this shop is located?

Very well said.

You're wasting your time trying to change that.

Theres just too many "good shops" out there charging an arm and a leg for shoddy work. Its hard to find a trustworthy mechanic.

But i know a guy thats cheaper 😆

Naa, this guy is a rare gem. Anyone taking their work there should be happy and confident that what they're paying was well earned and deserved. But most shops absolutely do not have even close to this level of experience and professionalism in their team or "expert" builder.

I got 50,000 out of mine, now it's pumped, good luck, I guess I mean skill anyway, I think U know Y because XR'S RULE!!!! THANK'S from NOR-CAL!!!!

@@chrisiollich4890 what year is it?

i’m sure he gets paid well enough

Eyeballin a thou n half... 😂

They'll be no combustion engines left in the future

@@ianmangham4570 sadly you are correct. There is an active war on the internal combustion engine in effect ..... and the progression has become increasing more rapid in recent days 😫

Your right

An apprentice with a camera for us to view, I'd watch every bit of it.

Only time and a sharp mind will get you close to this mans level of expertise.

Sign me up! Love this stuff. Just gotta catch a plane from Sweden ✈️🇸🇪😂

He is doing exactly what MMi teaches to a T.

Trust me, you do NOT learn this in school... Porting heads took me a while to get used to

I agree 100% , Jeff is a blessing to our team in many many ways, Jr & I will do everything we can to keep him happy doing what he is a master at@ LONG LIVE THE MANIC MECHANIC MLLH&R

There's enough of those top heavy junk heaps out there now. Put it in a road chassis with fairing. RZ Yamaha would be nice.

Right

We do. Just cause you dont hear about us doesnt mean we dont exist!!!👍

And every penny!

Here (Nevada desert) an oil cooler is a must for long rides.

​@@TheBandit7613 do you know any specific oil cooler for the xr 650l that is good?
