Pretty slick. I bought an identical bike in the 80's for $15 it had no spark so I threw in a set of points and it fired right up, I was pretty impressed, not sure if I revved it 4 or 5 times before it seized up tight, not a drop of oil in it, ah to be a kid again, live and learn. haha
These old bikes have paper gaskets, you can blow water past them straight injection style!! High pressure can destroy so much, bearings, brakes, hoses....it's just overkill. Unless you're really going all the way on a rebuild.
water and sand blasting if you notice the sand on top on the engine case when blasting at th rear wheel the paint on the swing arm have remove...wrong title
Great, now take out the engine, strip it to pieces and replace every gasket because you have just destroyed them, otherwise this will blow oil from every gasket it has after this pressure wash. GENIUS !!
My dad had the same bike when I was a kid. I think he paid $300 for it around 1980. A few years later he bought a 1977 Honda with a 550 cc four cylinder engine. I'll never forget those old bikes.
You ruin your bike. It will turn into flash rust. All chrome parts are dull after blasting. You have to do rust prevention coating and re chrome plating.
It seems muriatic acid with a touch of liquid dish soap is a common method. 1/3 acid and 2/3 water with the liquid soap. I have a pressure washer I'm going to try it with.
@@9thSapper Yamaha TX bikes......love the look of the motors but only made for a few years......next to impossible to find parts......very strange oil filter set-up......Good luck!
Scott McLennan I’m guessing that was a replacement swingarm with OEM primer and the PO hand painted black gloss with how the paint came off but primer remained
Saking bersih nya cet rangka sampe ilang pula, dan saking pintar nya situ nyuci di atas tanah dan tanah tersebut muncrat ke atas lg, siapa yang mau mencoba?
You ruined that bike. This is a lazy way of cleaning what was an otherwise nice classic bike. SOS pads would’ve cleaned those pipes and rims up like new. Now the whole frame will need painted. 🙄
Yup... its ruined... all that chrome will rust so fast now. And why would you directly spray the engine with such a high psi? Planning a rebuild? U should be now....
The rags in the intake are not good enough to prevent sand getting inside engine. This person has no clue how to restore anything. He should have disassembled the bike and then use vapor blasting to strip paint and rust. Half ass at best
