Now I know I have a problem with may crankcase gasket. Thanks!

What carburetor cleaner do you recommend?

Superb advice...yes, prep time, yes respirator...2 cartridge with carbon filters...full face mask...and cover your body too, including hands. Tyvec suits with hoods and booties work well. You can use fans on low many feet away to push paint stink out of end of garage. Get cars out.

Too general

Way too long video

Hi, I have a 1992 virago xv1100 , after searching on the bike and research I don't believe it has a fuel switch off tap. I personally don't feel fully confident taking off the two carbs so will try your way. Fingers crossed!

Thanks man!

Extremely helpful. Just stopped by a gas station and needed to fill up for the first time.

So many vids of builds originating from $500ish USD bikes. On the west coast of the US, you will Not find a $500 candidate with a CLEAN Title easily, so doesn’t seem realistic. Unless a significant number of builds are based upon SALVAGE Title bikes, which I am Very reluctant to do. Am I way off base in this observation ? I’ve been looking for a fair bit, since I got this CR build “itch”. I’m looking at CX GL Hondas, XV Yamahas, perhaps some inline 4s, or V4 Hondas. I have experience with these platforms, and very familiar with their performance potential. Realizing that this vid is 4yrs old, the market and parts prices have changed a bit. $5500 seems to be your target audience. I don’t see many $5500 cafe builds in my market place actually Selling. Parts to thoroughly go through the drivelines are certainly more than a couple hundred, rebuilding or swapping higher performance suspensions is a grand pretty easily. Brake upgrades, electronics …. we’re pushing a few thousand, before even reaching cosmetics, gauges & controls. Even IF the platform started as a clean titled $700 bike, with the numbers above, plus paint, new rubber, etc, seems like you’re really putting in Free labor, with such a small margin …… What am I missing ? 🤔

was hoping to see a sport bike, not a harley! yuck

alien bike

Great video thank you

Thank for going threw the process off draining the old gas out thank you

I want the speed limit is 40 sign =)

Nice, vid. It strikes me how beautiful a petrol tank is a a piece of engineering but not for cleaning. In your vid you put all those nuts and bolts in but does your fuel tap have a filter on it inside the tank. I remove the tap first to see. Then I turn my tank upside down with the cap on and fill with 5% vinegar. I have found that impressive.

...open the bowl drain take the screw out use a straw to spray inside the Jets are right there and I've had luck that way if they aren't bad clogged

my xj600s almost drained all her oil through the breather , compression test [65 75 75 75] , do you think it need piston to be replaced & valve shims?

Seriously😅😅😅😂😂😂 If u dont know drive a car

Thanks for the video. Sometimes ill use baby powder to source a leak, or ill use tough actin tinactin. The tinactin drys with a white powdery haze.

I used the clean it real good and go ride it for a short ride method. Worked like a charm. Rear push rod bottom seals were leaking and one of the primary screws had a little seap.

That number you just pointed to on the motor is your VIN number it’s the same on the neck of your motorcycle you, my dear are confused. Engine numbers are underneath the block next to the transmission.

Great video thank you!!

Main problem: I don't have a harley😳... Help! 😱

You can use a 90 degree offset screwdriver to remove that 4th bowl bolt. I know that's not a common tool, and I do think maybee pulling the carbs will be required either way--I wish it were different- I wish this method worked:) TY for the video

Maybe its the air cooled that doesnt cool the engine enough to cause over heat in traffic and blows the gasket.

Harley Davidson has always leaked oil it's not a faulty gasket it's the poor craftsmanship the way it was designed.just think how much money Harley Davidson is making on repairing the same old story over and over. I own a cruiser Suzuki V-Twin most of the Japanese bikes are built solid and built to last. Keep the oil changed and you can get on it and go. I'm not putting it down to anyone that drives a harley. But I think Harley-Davidson has taken advantage of people and getting all the money out of them they can.

This will absolutely clean nothing

Is there any way to lookup the engine vin to see what the engine originally came from? My bike has a different engine from the factory and I want to make sure it has the same engine size for my bike

It's a Harley, that's the#1 reason.

NO ! you DONT need to ok YOUR happiness with someone else ! if that person doesnt like what you do then dont be with them... you should have figured that out BEFORE you put a damn ring on its finger ! cant stand this logic ! 2/3 marriages end in divorce anyways. 80% of divorces are filed by women ANYWAYS.. stop this madness fellas ! live YOUR lives !

The girl is really cute.

good video...nice car and bike

Thanks for the vid. What kind of windshield you got on that bad boy?

Left ear sound only 😢

Never thought about the paper towel trick, much appreciated

*Promo SM*

🌸 'promosm'

nice bottom

yikes what a babe. good advice too.

Do you still have contact info for your seat guy in Logan? I'm near there and need a seat done. Would appreciate the info if you have it. Thanks, and nice work on those bikes!

Can't somebody do a damn flow chart instead of hit or miss suggestions? --- Does your bike do nothing? Does it just click? Does it turn over but not start? Etc...

Great vid

I just bought a victory that had been sitting. The person I bought it from said they would ride it at least once a month. I was riding it the other day and it started acting funny when I hit 3rd gear. It felt like I held in the clutch and a light came on. I think it was an engine with a symbol in it, but it was red. Then when I came to a stop the bike would try stalling so I'd give it gas. By the time I got home it stalled and didn't start back up. Sounded like a tazer. I'm sick because I got this from a private seller not a dealership so I can't take it nowhere but a shop.

Saving for my first cafe right now, this was such a helpful and well put together video keep it up

you wouldn't know by any chance if two years is too long for a newer bike to sit?

Nice job, you guys! Very professionally done!

Thanks

I have so many more questions I’ll go check out your page
