These clutches should last 150kkm easily. You’re due for the spline lube anyways somewhere in the middle of that to keep shit together. 1150 had the clutch plate wrongly designed so it would be good to replace it with the improved part. Apart from that these are very good bikes 1100/1150 And I consider 1100 lineup already classic along with r80, r100

My story is similar. The motorcycle has been sitting for 8 years. After cleaning the fuel tank and replacing the fuel pump, it runs perfectly. I have a small problem with it, the aftermarket fuel pump has an unpleasant whistling sound. I would really appreciate it if you could share with me what type of pump You used./maybe a link/. Sorry for my poor English, but it's not my first language. Thank You in advance for your answer.

2008 4600 miles l do more miles in a year then that

Taking the bike in half is not too hard. I just did it to change the clutch on a 2007 R1200RTP. Lube some splines while it's open, eh.

Its not bad hell i have done it 3 times now including a complete motor change did the spine in the trans too new lifters 1200 Injectors an a y pipe on my 1150gs now supermoto

20:21 slippers are perfect

I am in the exact same situation. I bought four bikes Cat N and fixed them myself, all serviced, all working and looking great and I am stuck with them now 😁. The Cat N is a major sticking point for most. One of them is a 3 month old 2024 bike, still under warranty and the only damage it had was a bent footpeg! Brand new costs £3500, I am selling it for £2450, didn't get a single enquiry. I think I will have to wait till next spring.

I've a green 94. I just love it.

I think you sell faster , 90% of the people who like this kind of bikes , loves

It reminds me back in the day fitting coach lines on car sales pitches because they thought it enhanced the looks and it would sell, bit of bullshit sells units 🤣

I would keep the bikes as standard as possible. Just my opinion but I disregard bikes that look like they have been messed about with.

Some green stickers added

Now I no why I saw a BMW with "needs a new clutch" for cheap...lol.

HS, I could change the clutch on me ole' ZX10 in a half hour...oy vie...

You remove the back seat with your key. Look at 6:49 to 7:00 between the back light and your number plate. Removing the seat is a mater of seconds without removing any screws.

I have this bike in a blue, that when I get close to it looks purple.. good job on pulling that engine.

Thanks Jay. Are you going to do a results video?

Fantastic bike love the dash, looks like a car. Pity Honda don’t make a bike like it today, I don’t like the NT1100 it looks like every other bike Honda make and I hate the big TFT screen. I’m actually looking out for a Deauville 700 it’s just the perfect bike for me!

Replace the clutch to one of those machines it´s a pain in the ass, but not the worst case scenario. And think about a K1200LT, a Goldwing, PanEuropean... it can be even worst LOL

Ffs 😂

Hi, the fork bars often have rust on the top, no matter how much you clean it, some of it usually remains and the chrome plating on the bar is lifted. When you insert the new seal, it damages it and the forks end up losing oil again after a few months. It is advisable to tape the "dirty" part so that the seal is not damaged when inserted. google translation...

you can pull those bottom bolts out and drain the forks first thing, if you leave the forks attached to the bike, use your impact to loosen those bottom bolts and remove them while the forks are still on the bike. Then you can drain the oil without having a mess while the tubes are still in the steering clamps.. then loosen the top caps while the four tubes are still clamped in the clamps. that is one bolt you must loosen while the tubes are still in the clamps … You don’t need an impact for that. Just the right size socket, or a large crescent wrench or the correct size wrench. when driving the new seals into the fork slider, use the old seal to push the new ones in.. I also use grease on my seals before I install them.. The fork seals on my recent purchase in 2023, of a 2010 NT 700 from the original owner, does not need new fork seals. So whenever I pull the forks to change the oil which is now here in 2024 - 14 years old with about 8700 miles on the bike, I’m going to change the oil but not the bushings or the seals. I’m just going to change the oil on my nt700, and I am going to change the oil on my big machine at the moment, my Yamaha royal star venture. There is a clash of ideas between myself and Yamaha. In the owners manual for my Yamaha royal star venture. On the maintenance chart in the owners manual, it indicates that there is no need to ever change the fork oil… I absolutely disagree with that, if, for no other reason, the forks on the Yamaha royal star venture are air forks.. Air that the owner of the machine or the mechanic working on the machine puts in from an air hose from air that comes from a compressor.. you adjust the air pressure in Air Force maybe more often than checking or adjusting air pressure in tires.. that air has moisture in it. Over the years, my Yamaha royal star venture may only have 36,000 miles on it, but it has been getting moisturized air in the forks for 16 years. I wonder how much water is in those forks after 16 years.. that is why I am going to change the fork oil, going against my owners, manual recommendation.. I am also not going to change the fork seals on my Venture while I have the fork tubes out. Because they’re not leaking. .. One of the things that makes fork seals go bad is, dried bugs on the fork tube where the seal goes over it. Every time you clean your windshield or your face shield, if there are bugs on there, your forks have bugs on them too. So you need to clean your fork tubes in the wipe area where the seal passes over as often as you clean your windshield or your face shield… it’s not a bad idea to put gators over the four tubes now while you have the forks off to protect the wipe area of the fork tube from not only bugs, but rocks that get kicked up by cars you are following..

I just picked up a NT 700 with 7500 miles on it here in the end of 2023. I had some issues with it because it sat since 2015 in the original owners garage. He finally decided to sell it. He had stabilizer in the gas tank. On my channel on KZbin, I have what that stabilizer did inside the gas tank. It ended up stranding me 40 miles from home, because that stuff plugged the fuel filter inside the gas tank I also re-searched known problems with these bikes, they have two, bad, spark, plug caps once they get old. The symptoms of bad, spark plug cabs is hesitation when you turn the throttle coming out of corners, or starling occasionally at stop signs or red lights when you go to pull out. I replace my spark plug cabs and it’s been running beautiful ever since. I have also had twoHonda Pacific coast motorcycles, I have had two of those because my first one got totaled with me on it. Waiting at a stop sign one morning on my way to work. It was the most profitable paid nine month vacation of my life.. I replaced that pacific coast with another one that I commuted on for the next 24 years. The NT700 and the Pacific coast are very similar, in a few ways the Pacific coast is better, in other ways the NT 700 is better.. i’ve had many many many dozens of motorcycles over the decades. I proclaimed the Pacific coast to be the best motorcycle in the history of the universe. I rode mine six days a week to work, and then I would ride on Sundays for fun with my buddies, it had a few things that needed updating like, there were only two tire manufacturers that made sets of tires for the Pacific coast. Metzler and Dunlop… because I was commuting, the tires never did last more than 4500 miles. That is the toughest miles on tires is stop and go commuting, especially here where we have lots of hills… fuel, injected, bikes, when the battery goes flat, you are not gonna be able to push that thing and catch it in gear to start it. You need a good battery to power the fuel pump, the fuel injection system, and the ignition system, all at the same time. That’s why I make a jumper cables out of power cords from dishwashing machines or washing machines that are discarded. I have a couple videos on my KZbin channel showing how I did that and why. carburetors were always get you home. That’s one good thing about the carburetors.. I finally have my 2010 Honda nt700 owner sorted. I’ve done some changes hopefully for the better, on eBay I bought a set of gold wing replacement foot pegs. They are wider and longer and they go right on. They were $17.50 on eBay, free shipping, a slightly taller windshield that has a curve to it at the top. And it does a very good job of reducing buffing. .. I put Helibar Bar risers on my machine. They move the bars back 3 inches and up 5 inches. of course I replaced the spark plug caps which are a subject of almost recall by Honda when they discovered that these things caused problems, especially in hotter climates. Rather than do a worldwide recall they just decided to replace the spark plug caps on every NT 700 that ever comes into a Honda dealership for free. I also put foam grips on. I had heated grips on at the end of 2023, and into 2024 here in western Pennsylvania USA. But I didn’t like the field so I took them off and put foam grips on.. I will be putting the heated grips back on here pretty soon for the best time of year to ride, October, November.. I also got the color matched trunk with the rack. At first, I wasn’t crazy about the look, but it has become so. indispensable, especially in cool weather, when I like to carry my heated vest, and an additional turtleneck sweatshirt, and maybe the liner for my leather jackets in addition to all the other necessities, like things to clean the windshield of bugs, Mabs, basic tools, rain, suit, electric tire pump and plug kit, water, first aid kit, jumper cables, things like that.. this machine has become my do it all machine except for long distance. I have a Yamaha royal star venture, my third, Venture since 1986. I just like them. They are as simple as a VW air cooled bug to work on, and they have no known faults… I had a GL 1800 Goldwing. Really a pain in the ass to work on just doing simple things like just change the near filter. If you take it to a shop to have it done that’s five hours labor at $125 an hour just to change the air filter.. it’s a 20 minute job on a venture to change both air filters, one on each side.. anyway, I’m getting carried away, I’m looking forward to watching your videos on KZbin to pick up little tidbits. Here in Western Pennsylvania I have only seen one other auntie 700 in my life, and that was at a dealer, he was selling it, I never impulse buy I always think about it, when I went back to buy it a few days later it had already sold. But since then, I have never seen one of these machines on the street ever. They are rarer than hens teeth…

Really, you waist my time with this shit video.....really..

I set my clutch pressure plate to 18nm will This matter???? I seen it on KZbin someone did 18nm

How many miles/kilometers on your bike when the alternator failed?

I thought that the alternator was only an issue on the 1100....! I have just got me a 1300 with 55k miles.... should i be worried..?????

z750 (naked), is one of the best looking bikes and is awesome. z1000 better

I suppose it all depends if you see a profit 😉

Personally, I would be a bit concerned by that back tyre. The damage to the old rim shows it took a serious impact, and I would be wondering if that caused any damage to the cords in the tyre, possibly not visible to the eye. Looks like a nice usable bike.

where is everyone getting these parts from.... doing my head in

Abba stand is very good so good I also purchased their sky lift.

Forgot to mention last video, if you're going to make more and work on more bikes, invest in an Abba Stand, it's basically a centre stand (or lift with the lift bit), used one with my old ER-6F, could also use it with my VFR but that has a centre stand, though to be fair the Abba stand is easier to use.

seeing all the corrosion and grime on this unit.. i would be forced to blow it all apart and de-grease and bead blast all that corrosion off and put her back together clean.. heck, i'd probably address the rust on the frame and paint it too.. i just couldn't leave her in that condition.. that's just me... i never leave well enough alone.. lol..

these clutches last forever when the bike is ridden correctly.. you can't slip the dry clutch like you can a wet one.. just dump and go.. will last forever.. well.. almost.. if the splines last.. lol.. lube them well.. this bike is daunting to work on at first.. but once you get the hang of it.. it's really not that bad.. the germans know how to engineer..

65k isn't that much on a boxer BMW.. I have the same bike at 56k.. she's like new.. i see them well over 100k al the time still purring along.. it's all in how you maintain them..

Alot of pdr guys use long bars and push out the dents too. You could try going through filler cap if you've got an adequate bent rod

Sorry for the headache! What a shame.

It’s getting there. Hope you don’t loose anything on it at least. Can’t believe you still have that Thundercat! That’s a cool old thing and so cheap. I just haven’t got the money or I’d be tempted. Glad the channels going well.

I appreciate the pain you have taken on our behalf.

Jay, gotta say you’ve done a bang-up job there. Out of curiosity what was the mileage on the bike when you got it ? Was it stored outside too. There’s a lot of crud inside the bike so I’m guessing it’s done a lot of wet mileage in the UK. This series you’ve published has taught me a lot too!

ST1300 2003 had black wheels. I used to comment to my buddy who had one. My 2004 ahas silver wheels.

For hoses I find it useful to get some grease pencils (Yellow, red and blue) and label as you go. Start off with 1A, 1B, etc and then move to the 2’s, 3’s etc as you go. Helps. Taking photos also since you can document this easily in the future. Nice work.

Sweet. Thanks for documenting for the rest of us. Hope it’s all fixed and running now!

I actually prefer these better than the pan,

6.04 reminds me , i really need to call her

I passed my A license on an old ER6N and what a pile of cr- I bought a Yam FZ8 shortly after and what a bike, I went to a Fireblade then Busa and all incredible, I've been tempted by a Z1000 but never truly liked the Kawa styling or the green.
