A good friend bought one new, it was the first actual motorcycle I ever road, with shifting and all. I was hooked . I bought a 72 Yamaha Mx 100 right after. The early ones were just enduros with expansion chambers and knobbies. We started racing MX and hare scrambles together. Raced all through the 70s. He went with RMs and I went with YZs . Never forgot my first ride on that bike.

Go to the pharmacy and ask for a bottle of Methyl Sylicate. It was $6.00 last time I bought it. It’s otherwise known as wintergreen oil. Put it on whatever you’re trying to free up. Caution it’s very flammable. Give it a bit and disassemble whatever you’re trying to disassemble. We used this in the Navy to disassemble jet engines and I have used it for 40+ years as a professional aircraft technician. The last time I went to buy a can of Kroil it was $28.00 at Tractor Supply. You’re welcome.

I need to do this on my 750. It's been a couple years since I've checked the valves...and I feel like I've gotten more skilled with the feeler gauges since then. Those .002's are tricky to set. It's a such a thin feeler gauge. i have an older Triumph that's .008 and .010, which are way easier to set correctly. Looks like that manual has a typo. It says .02 inches for inlet and .003 inches for exhaust. Should be .002 and .003.

@motonexustheshop 3 ай бұрын

This procedure is part of a four-step process of adjusting the cam chain tensioner, valves, checking the timing, and finally, synchronizing carbs. The old service manual has several errors. You're correct, .02 in should be .002 in. I think I said two-thousandths in the video. I always try to work with millimeters when working on any bike that was designed and built using millimeters; helps avoid conversion mistakes.

@daveco1270 3 ай бұрын

Thank you. That's a clear and concise instructional video. I've done this job on my CB750 but it's been a while. Not sure if I checked the #1 intake valve to make sure it was loose. I'll do it again just to be sure. Is the carb sync video next? I have trouble getting the screw in brass tubes into some of the carbs because the choke linkage seems to get in the way a bit. I've snapped a couple brass tubes that came with my Morgan CarbTune Pro. Left just the threaded part in the carb port, which was fun to get out.

@motonexustheshop 3 ай бұрын

Thank you. Always nice to know someone is out there watching me piddle around in the shop. When I think about a motor, everything has to be synchronized, so I view synching the carbs as just one part of the whole job. Adjusting the cam chain tensioner is the first step. The next step is setting the valve gaps (lash). The third step is to check/adjust the timing. The final step is to sync the carbs. In the final video, I'll be using the Digisync digital carb sync tool.

The best ATF is Dexron II D. I managed to find a 20 ltr drum of that in a garage sale a few years ago - all it gets used for is mixing with acetone... I was introduced to that mix by mechanics back in the early 80's, we found the later ATF fluids just not quite as aggressive when things are really rusted up.

Better than a 125 Yamaha. They a generator that would fail to charge the battery and would fail completely when the battery was dead. Some Suzuki's had the same problem, but I forget which models. A lot of those old bikes would not run when the battery drained and were not sufficient to keep a new battery charged. A Yamaha 175 was a good bike and so was a 250. A 360 was utter failed garbage.

The heat from the flame of a propane torch before and after the application of any rust penetrating fluid is often necessary, time and patience, to return and do the treatment multiple times... even letting the fastener cool and soak until the next day. Or just cut break and replace if it's not in a tight spot or the fastener is for whatever reason, unobtainable.

As someone who's done research and worked with rusty bolts for over 50 years, I can tell you that your test did not address the efficacy of the 3 fluids as a penetrating/ loosening agent. You probably tested relative viscosity. If you wanted to test for their true penetrating/ loosening ability you would have needed to uniformly rust all 9 threaded nots & bolts, then applied each fluid, allow them to work for a specified period of time, then use a torque meter to determine which came loose the easiest. Also, there are people who allow penetrating fluids to properly marinate rusted surfaces before attempting to loosen.... I let a rusted glove box on a '56 Chevy marinate for over a day to allow it to finally loosen up... PB Blaster worked great!!!

Making your own penetrating oil is the biggest waste of time. I"m a professional aircraft mechanic and I don't have time to fool around making some "magic" penetrating oil. Just buy a can of Kroil and get back to work. Expensive but it works. And BTW, WD-40 is not penetrating oil; it's terrible for that purpose.

Thanks for the comment. Kroil is a good product. Of all the store brands, Kroil requires the least amount of torque to remove a nut. That day, I just used what I had on the shelf; no Kroil.
