Brilliant video. Very helpful. Thanks very much.

Great video, subbed.

Thanks for the heads up. Seems it will reopen. It's good for the Interesting bikes, and cars on a Sunny Sunday, and a cuppa.

You dodged a bullet there, foods awful and over priced. Chain and Sprocket Ruthin, or Sam's Cafe Denbigh are better places.

Cool!

Its opening again, is getting a revamp. There is a letter on their website explaining it. 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂 Nice video. 👍👍🙂🙂

Have you done any work on your front forks? Last two mot’s I’ve had an advisory that “Front forks have reduced dampening.(soft) (5.3.2 (b)”. But they feel the same as they always have to me…

Sorry for a dull question, what phone mount do you use please? They're like rocking horse poop to find that fits a ZZR

How do you calibrate this bike I’m having issues with coming out of third gear no power to 4th gear for a few minutes then when it gets to 80 can’t get it to move in 5 gear I had it tuned up by a motorcycle mechanic but he’s older and he kept having issues and I’ve had it since 2004 it never had issues?

great review of engine braking through corners..

Hi Nice video I see its old. I am looking at buying a 2002 one but it wont rev or take the throttle ,Starts and tick over fine I am thinking a full carb strip and clean do you have any video on full strip and clean Thanks Anthony

How is throttle response?

Why was it bent like that when u took the cover off? The front sprocket nut? The spacer thing why is it bent ? And do you have to bend it back when you’re done ?

Hey mate, I just happened to find your channel after buying one myself! I did a basic maintenance (oil change, filters, bleeding the breaks, changed the coolant) I also had to service the forks as they were leaking and change the chain. Now, this is my first bike, and idk if this is normal, but mine seems to have a vibration, more like a resonance at around 7k-8k rpm's. Also I notice a weird sound, and I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the valve clearance or the transmission chain, once the bike is up to temp. the noise is not that noticeable. I saw that you mentioned you've already done the valve clearance, and I'm tempted to give it a try (never done this before). Could you please let me know where to find a good guide on how to do that please ?

bro whats the most comfortable bike you've owned?

Yeah, what bonnie country.

Looks like a good bike, I think I took my test on one. I used to have a Suzuki gs500 & that was good on fuel too. My Kawasaki zzr600 was a good cruiser. What a nice road that is with amazing views.

See id known Steve had not been well but I’d forgot to check on how he was doing but I’d thought he’d had an operation as was on the mend. So sorry to hear about Steve and I did like his videos so clicking on this video was a shock to be honest.

When people stop visiting and they will , the local economy will drop and then they will moan.

You got a link for the chain and sprocket, please?

I absolutely love my 1990 ZZR6. Its an dream to ride, smooth and fast even now 34yrs later. Mine came to me naked and I knew it was love at first sight. It doesn't have the stock handlebars either, I've had to put a wide bar on her (its what I had at the time and it works really well). Taken me to various UK rallies and the TT in 2022. Which brings me to MPG. FOD to Liverpool is roughly 160 miles, I stopped once to refuel about 100 miles in and only used 6-7litres of its 18-20 litre tank at legal speeds with the odd 80+mph blip fully loaded (carried 80kg + Me 70kg-ish). Need I say more. Perfect bike for commuting any distance really.

In the forum people say you have to set it to tdc to swap,is that true?

I will miss Steves videos, nice tribute 😢

Ηοw you change the benzin filter ?? They told me its inside the gazoline tank ?

Carbs over full injection every time. Look at a modern Hornet, it looks like a robot, i don't know what is going on in the mind of the Japanese designers.

You've done a great job on that bike, when you talk about that guy from superbike surgery i watch all his videos, he really knows to to fix and tune carbs that guy👍🏻

Hey mate, does the front sprocket really go on with no locking agent or grease?

Love the Ponderosa, sausage, egg, chips, beans, two rounds of bread and a nice cup'o'tea. Perfect, nice bike fella, you always do a great job servicing and fixing your bike. Thanks for video. 👍👍👍😎😎😎

hi iv just got a gsr600 nice bike but problem i have is a rattle coming from the front of the engine would you say its the cam and is this a problem with these bikes cheers

Thanks for vid, can always learn. I had similar bikes to you, ZRX1100/1200's, ZZR12, ZZR6, ZX9R's. My 'New' YZF600 project had me stumped. Clicking Starter solenoid and Starter not turning engine. Replaced both, still same. Long story short, i had previously used instant gasket on Starter gear cover as no new gasket. I EVENTUALLY found the inner gear boss of the cover was crushing one of the starter gears, preventing it from turning. Home made cardboard gasket, and gear has clearance and back to normal. 1x millimeter made all the difference.

I did this the other day on a mtb, stopped about 7 times, still sching now 😂

Great Job 👍👍

A man of your calibre needs a bigger workshop. Since I was 16 all I ever wanted was a shed big enough to swing a cat in.ha ha

Aaand you can take ALL of your luggage along.. Hurahh

Most of their bikes look like they should be restoration projects.... Im going to avoid these.

Went to look at a bike last week at superbike factory Donnington. Found a nice looking honda to which i enquired about £4890 Which was a little steep for the age and mileage but looked a tidy bike so i wanted to go ahead. After being talked into applying for finance for the bike the agreement come back accepted at extortionate rates! Baring in mind im in the good band on expirian credit report. So i decided (which i was going to initially do) buy the bike cash. To which i got told that the price displayed isn't actually the real price and that there was an administration fee and change of documentation fee. I ran out that place!!! Beware they want you to purchase through credit/hp as thats where they make the most profits.

Nice tribute vid. Miss Steve vids. May his spirit live on.

Did you see they had a Police plane up last weekend around Betws y Coed, pulled loads of bikers, small number plates cost lives apparently 🤔

Has the Suzuki gone then? You change your bikes more than I change my underwear 😁 Used to go to the Ponderosa a lot....40mph limit, loads of cagers, sheep, and went around one of the corners nearer the quarry and hit a load of gravel 💩, plus it attracts the Rozzers.

But where were Albert and Mavis? Poor Steve I miss his videos.

If you do 20 instead of 30 around town you only lose 5 minutes in a journey the light system doesn't allow you to speed anyway. Country roads haven't changed matter of fact lots of roads haven't changed

Just got mine today ! Excited. Great video.

an absolute nono, no doubt! However: maybe next time after you have passed, move to the left on your lane and keep your speed in order to enable a following rider to get back in lane. Before you passed you must have seen this guy in the mirror, so giving him room to get back in would have been courteous

Ive heard about this snatchy throttle,im not a biker yet have not passed my test ,i can ride though,im 52 a skinny tall guy i also have dodgy knees 😂 do you think its suitable for a more mature rider like myself even though i will be essentially a new rider . Or should i go the other way save some cash and get an older carb bandit

I've got a 550 in a smoke shaded black (in the right light and angle it appears like a dark purple) but this 1100 in that green... man, it's just majestic. Keep on riding it and enjoying it whilst being safe! ✌️

Kawasakis and north Wales are a match made in heaven

I gotta agree with you on carbureted vintage bikes vs FI, computer chipped bikes. Late '70's to early 2000's bikes are the most soulful. Love your ZR1100! What a beauty.

Bike is gorgeous. I have to agree, the slightly older 1990's early 200'0's bikes were the golden epoch before everything became digitalised. I don't think Ive ever owned a full injected bike, cant say if they are soulless, but I can believe its true.

This is pure life man! Keep going

Did this fault stop the fuel pump priming
