Thanks man Video helped me out a lot with my project.

Great video I was reminiscing I built my KD175 in 21 she was imported from the US i did a full engine overhaul rebored crank clutch bearings ect and now she rides and runs brilliant I live in Sherwood forest Nottinghamshire UK this bike loves the woodland and is at home there I own a few bikes and the KD has become my favourite ride...I also managed to register it she's now street legal.

Seriously? Did you even look at your video before you posted it? Do you not own a shop light? What about this dark ass video would inspire anyone to want to subscribe to your channel? Seriously!

I would of pop the hood instead of tape it

As complicated as it is to grind down the rivet to replace just that catch, considering you have to remove the backing plate anyway, just swap backing plates with the piece already riveted in... only those may not be alumnium. Still, my original latch lasted 21 years

What

Good job!

I recognize several Salina area cars in that group, thanks for sharing.

They don't make them anymore...congratulations for your work

I have the same problem.

Pathtic . Why post > Why the foul lingo ?

Looks like a 77 model

Hey man, what happened to the bike? I just got exactly the same a year ago and still getting some parts from ebay, as mine looks a bit not complete than yours. Btw, I live in Chicago, IL.

Nice Machine! I'm still an amateur but am about 85% complete restoring a KT 250. Thanks for posting all the great info, it's helpful for all us trying to learn.

It's great to see Florence is going again. It was at the last one in they raced in the 70s, a young one and only pit crew member fueling my brother's bikes. Brother Charles crashed out on his Yamaha mono shock in the rock query, and Tommy finished on his Elsinore. Kawasaki is looking good. Great video. Thanks for posting 👍🏼

You made that snap ring look so easy!!! I’m still fighting it. I need a better pick I think….

Shouldn't the rod drop under its own weight - that looks a bit tight to me?

OMG!!!!!! I had a 1980 Kawasaki KD175. It was orange. I miss that bike. I was 15 when I had that. Awesome video my friend. Brought me back some good memories.

Good score there...lucky person...just sayin 😊

Had this back when i was a lad . Good torquey engine rode it for years without any issues wish. I still owened it. Have you checkedd the rotary valve for warpage and or the exhaust for any excessive carbon build up.Also the enrichener in the. Carb .

I’m doing a 65 nova & would like to know where you got the measurements for your car. Thanks

“Squirt Russell”

I need to replace a clip because it seems to be bent. The previous owner did it when he removed the trim. So am I understanding right when that to remove the clip all I need to do is pull them out with a needle nose?

Thanks for posting this video! My 1980 Chevy K20 came from the factory with WARN locking hubs and it's the same color as yours. I replaced all the brake components on it 27 years ago and I thought I'd remember how to do it again. I found out yesterday that my memory is failing me.😟

Maybe the worst video I’ve ever seen.

“Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon”

Passanger side must have been in the sun more then drivers side. The sun will burn through the plastic lens and no amount of sanding will ever make it as clear as the other side. Probably due to where the owner has been parking the vehicle. Also a lot of older Toyotas and older Lexus have a softer polycarbonate plastic (ie more oil) that when are subjected to constant sun light without any protection the sun burns up the lens almost like a permanent sunburn for the lens and that’s why some lens are so cloudy

Does that front fender clear the pipe if you turn left?

How is the power compared to a CR? I keep reading it is way underpowered. Thanks for sharing.

Extra oil leans the mixture don't blow it up

What is the part called, so that I can order one. Thank you.

Parts names?

One thing is for sure, this guy doesn't need a mirror.😄

Thanks for the update

u can sometimes get away with just plugging in the new one. Started right up. came here to see which gear it should be in when installing. thanks 77 g30 chevy van on column.

I done my first Cub crank pin swap about 60 years ago. If you scribe opposite the crank pin, then on reassembly you only have to adjust by hitting the outer face to bring the scribed face in alignment.

Hey your doing it wrong Step 2 means crack open a cool refreshing beer 🍺

Not bad video. I pulled my 65 Nova heater box 4 years ago and am now just trying to put it back in all cleaned up. This was helpful, but I realize it takes some finesse and maybe modifications to get it back in.

I just got a 1975 MT125 for $50 on facebook marketplace

Condensers fail for fun. Change first and check gaps.

I'm going to search for alternative options to McMaster for the banjo gaskets. If I'm successful I will post the source. Also when I begin to reassemble the lines I'll make a video.

Hi. I am currently dealing with a similar oil line problem on my '76 GT500 on the left cylinder. I did find the part you displayed too so thank you. If I'm correct McMaster wants over $12 for a five pack plus shipping. How many did you replace? Thanks

I believe you will find it very difficult to find a set of gators that will work. They are specific to the T500. There is a guide and a spacer that needs to be installed in groves at the top of the gator, as well as the gator has a ridge that fits into a grove of the fork bottom leg securing it in place. Mine were split. what i did was use a product called "Goo-Gone" to patch them as a stop-gap. If you do find a correct replacement please let me know. Also, if you disassemble the forks there is a special tool to reinstall the fork because there is no way to grip the fork to pull it up into the top triple clamp. I fashioned a 10mm fine threaded rod about 12" long with a "T" handle made of flatbar and a 10mm fine nut. Just thread this into the bolt hole at the top of the fork in order to pull it into place.

It works well my head lights where melted it brought them somewhat back

Just watched the original (the perfect re fresher for me). Did mine about 3 years ago, still looks good as well. Got another set of headlights to do. Be interesting to see if they can compare.

To be honest these kits are a waste of your time . T cut and polish brings 99% of headlights up like new and takes a fraction of the time !

Man those 3m wipes are like magic. It's amazing what a difference this $15 kit can make.

Hey man I think these videos with your 66 nova are awesome. I have one that I am driving and restoring in high school and it’s nice to have others doing similar stuff online that I can follow.

Please, please take that sissy bar off it doesn’t look right

I realize this is an older video. I have never removes or disassembled such a crank setup. But I think if you mic'd the distance between the two halves initially and than machined a spacer plate to cover most of the circular area, than when you reassembled it again you could merely press it again using the machined spacer plate. Also is you use a vice, you could adjust the concentricity so much easier... Just an idea!
