I’m sure someone has said it already, but when sweating the bearings in, you have to heat up the wheel. You can use a heat gun. Freeze the bearings and heat the hole they’re going in.
The front wheel bearing is not in far enough. Check how loose the inner spacer is, it should be touching both inner races of the bearings. If you tighten the spindle it will ruin the bearings. You need to use a hard hammer to install the bearings. Fit a new tyre valve, the old one will leak.
Whenever you touch the exausht/intake system as in "modding" please do tune or get a tuneable ECU to make the bike live healthy and prevent any future hiccup.
Motorcycles the ones that you have put together more the Italian bike and decati a work of art to appreciate and admire watching you the restorer mechanic electric knowledge etc all on film joyful work smiles aplenty a joy to watch can only be inspired to give my best ❤on a daily basis for The faith blessings 😊.
That Yoshimura Racing Air Box will give the bike a great look and a lot more breathing power, but make sure you keep an eye on that filter element because it is not meant for street riding. You need to clean or replace the filter element more frequently, such as, after every race or track day. Enjoy and great video as always. Love the new tools.
I was going to buy the Yoshimura air box for my R7 but they recommend a crazy cleaning interval of 7 hours of ride time. I dont see how you could easily clean it without removing the whole box, and that is just not something I am willing to do every other weekend. It does give the bike some good gains with a proper tune. I just wish there was an easy way to clean the filter material. If anyone knows of an easy method, please share. @CJ Great job on the bikes and your videos. I love watching your builds. Especially this one since I do have an R7. Thanks brother, keep it up!
Do these builds end up costing more than the bike value? If so, is it just a passion of yours ? Thanks and always love to see a beautiful machine returned to its former glory!
I haven’t seen anyone answer your question about the throttle being half open in the UK. It stems from EU regulations about how old certain people must be to ride big bikes. If you’re 18 you can only ride 125cc till you’re 20 then you can ride any bike with a power to weight ratio of 0.2Kw/Kg or 48hp. To ride an R7 from age 20-24 they then restrict the throttlebody opening.
Some channels talk through the entire video, you don't. I prefer it that way. My engineer friends always had a motto, K.I.S.S., which means Keep It Simple Stupid. That ideal seems to have been lost to many in modern times. Thanks for keeping it simple.
Considering that the original axle was bent, I really would not trust those bearings. Bearings are relatively delicate, and the force needed to bend an axle wouldn't be good to them... plus bearings are a consumable item anyway, they really should have been replaced with a new set.
@@GeorgeOrlandson Dang, re-watched the video, and lord and behold, CJ is pulling out some frozen bearing out of the freezer. I am going to blame it on not drinking enough coffee that day. LOL!
Hi CJ, pretty cool Yoshomura air box. I wonder if you´re going to improve the exhaust also. Let us know whether it will require a new mapping due to better air flow. As per throtle slack, as far as I know it is about how fast the answer will be. Higher advanced riders muight like a quite responsive throtle and then you should work on that slack. But maybe other more expert people have another saying. Cheers mate, it´s been long!
Great looking balancer but, risky reusing crashed front bearings but have to say your seal is damaged and inner seal spring not seated properly. Putting that beautiful new front wheel at risk of locking up.
Looking at the old rim, are you sure that you want to use the old bearings? They're not that expensive and looking by the crash damage I wouldn't trust those anymore. Also I allway's thought that the dot on the tire was the heaviest part that needs to sit opposite from the valve stem, but I've never changed a tire myself so what do I know. Entertaining video though, keep up the good work.
The Lord forgives his flock that use a yellow hammer on seals to make them flush and using flat bladed screwdrivers on lower fork braces. Lord, hear our prayers.
