Can you believe it!? - all the pain we went through on this rebuild. How many things went wrong!? but we didn't give up and managed to figure the failures out. To now finally see the bike complete is so rewarding! Thank you all for the advice and motivation you gave throughout the rebuild and let's bring on the next project 😎
My guy cant wait for next project. Also cant wait to see her on road. When I heard you before say it was your dads bike i thought he just had a thunderace back in the day. I didn't realise this was THE same bike! Maybe eveb one too goodto be sold or gave away keep her just make sure shes used!
Instead of letting us hear the result of your efforts.. you chose to corrupt our senses with your choice of noise.. was a good series but for that 🙉 .. have a mint 17k km TA myself.. red n white.. they are smooth.. 750 six speed would be a great upgrade
This popped up as suggestion, and I clicked on it as I've been watching Dirty Garage Guy's videos on this build. Your progression is good to see - getting the workshop, taking on board comments, and all that. You seem to take others' knowledge on board, unlike some of the other RU-vidrs Matt looks at in depth. You're definitely learning, and a world away from when you started fixing it on your driveway. Are you mechanic level yet? No, but neither am I, and I think we'd both be the first to admit it. You've definitely moved on from just "having a go" though. A long way on from that. Onwards and upwards.
Well done. I'm a few months behind you in restoring my 120,000km 1999 Thunderace. In my case I've completely disassembled the whole bike as it has been a long distance for a sports bike. I am now waiting for Yamaha to deliver new crankshaft bearings and then it is time to start the reassembly process. I also came across the same problem with tiny glass beads blocking threads after vapour blasting. They are really difficult to remove from the threads and I suspect were responsible for your cam cap bolt thread failing. The glass beads are really hard so the threads tend to fail first when you screw a bolt in.
Excellent👏 Great job Rye! Oh yeah get yourself two box fans to help vent, one pulling fresh air in the other extracting. Yes yes yes, what’s next on the build list!

Looks absolutely fantastic! What an amazing job. You should be very proud buddy. 👏 Love the colour and finish too. Regarding using your vacuum gauges to balance the carbs: you can adjust the screws on the carbs with engine running-you don’t need to turn it off each time. Also, there should be some damper tubes supplied with them that go into the vacuum lines to the gauges. These will smooth the vibration a bit and make the gauges more stable/easy to read.
All I can say is wow, love your builds they make me laugh because I go through similar things when I do jobs on my bikes. I feel your thrill and your pain. Well done! 😂
Well done getting the bike done , you had many ups and downs but it has all paid off with your sheer determination on getting the bike done . Bike looks well nice bro 🤟👍
Wow, you did that incredibly well. Your perseverance is inspiring for many. It was so challenging in the beginning, but you kept going, and look at it now!"
Honestly I think the outcome is incredible. Some of the criticisms levelled against the workmanship have felt a little mean spirited, considering its always been from the point of view of a beginner. I dont think many would pick up a spanner for the first time and have not 1 but 2 incredible finished products. Well done
Wow saw it an hour ago..what a bike you did a fantastic job..if you ever sell it the next owner really has something special..well done can't stand these new bikes got no soul i have an immaculate honda vfr 750 27 years old still fantastic but im from the 80s ..gsxr gpz powervales zxr etc..all great bikes and more....keep up on what you are doing its great..thankyou.
wow that does look good, and it sounds better too, in the last video I didnt want to say anything because you were so happy that it had started, but i was thinking that don't sound right
WOW! That is gorgeous, you've done so very well with this build. I bought the same carbtune years ago, great piece of kit. Please don't keep us waiting too long to see you ride the Thunder Ace.
The bike looks absolutely brilliant! Keep doing what you do 👍‼ (FYI - The filters on your respirator are mounted 180˚ out. The narrow end faces forward.)
