Just hit that sub. I live along Lake Erie, not far from the #1 American snowfall champion for several years in a row. Buffalo, 4 feet in 24 hours many times haha. I tipped the bike while acting like a c0cky pr1ck and no handsing off the road into a sheet of ice. I actually have two cars, one motorcycle. And im seriously thinking about never buying a car again. Its SO FCKIN EXPENSIVE, and i simply love riding. Im going to spend this winter testing gear and items which make winter riding simple.

That's a "bicycle" lane, by the way. Serious?

Great vid (as ever!). Yours are amongst the most memorable on You Tube.

Really great video.

Thank you for mentioning my favorite bike, the CB900F supersport. Not alot of videos around on that bike.

I have a similar sound, I call it "podracing noises": kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIa0mWOjfMyLnac Is that normal in my video?

4:30 It's always great to see an 83 750 Magna. I've had mine for nearly 5 years and love it. No engine problems with this one though.

Hey man, I just picked up the same delkevics for my bike thanks to you! Would you be able to ride for more than an hour with baffles out, without getting a headache from the noise? If so, is the headache worth the noise? Thanks, love the videos! 5:12

Great contest, nice hints and great value for newbies. Just one point, you need a stand! 😂

I am currently in the process of building a CBX I have the 1979 gas tank a triple tree and the complete engine to build just waiting to get a titled frame of course it will be a street fighter with newer suspension from newer year donor models, this is also my dream bike i am also currently doing a 1985 Yamaha FJ 1100 that is now a 1500 with Yamaha R1 suspension will hit you pics when done ! Hope you get your dream 6 !!!!😜😜

I now need an exhaust upgrade on my k100😮

Cheeze-whiz Christians! The test rider in that MotorWeek clip is the one, the only, Grand National Champion - Gary Nixon. Gary was Maryland-based at the time, and had a small motorcycle shop in Cockeysville. I know because I was a young rider who bought a set of shocks from him, and ended up with him helping me put them on out in a parking spot beside York Road -- kind of like buying one's baseballs from Babe Ruth. MotorWeek had not yet hired their Motorcycle Editor - Brian Robinson - and so needed to find a hired gun. Hard to imagine a better choice. Thanks for the tiny thrill.

Welp! The first 2 min of this video. I subscribed an liked! You are an absolute inspiration on editing an filming hats off can’t wait to watch the rest of the video😂😂

I know this an old video, but i JUST got a 09 fz1 and it was turned from Ivan’s performance and has built / upgraded suspension. Got it for 6k with 29k miles. And i LOVE it! So fast, bigger and faster than majority of the bikes i meet and ride with. I’m 5’11, 195, and this thing MOVES

Hey man all of us are wondering if you’re okay? Hope you’re doing well and safe.

i love the tank so myuch

I'm years late to this but thank you for making these. This was very interesting.

I recently replaced con rod bearings in a different Yamaha from the same era and tje manual said that the bolts should be tightened in one go, until thr wrench clicks, if one happens to stop in the middle of tihjtenning, the nut should be loosened and tightened again.

Best narrated build videos 👍

i own this bike (mod '06) the last 15 years, totally in love when it was first introduced and i still love it. Only three minor issues so far, many many long trips, a few trackdays per year and rarely commuting. I just love it, you ride it and it is like a visit to the psycologist.

Hello, I’m working on my build on the k100rs base from 1992. I’m thinking of changing the fork as I don’t like the way the old one looks. Do you have any recommendations or suggestions on where to find them on which fork should I use if I want to maybe improve the handling of the bike or at least keep it as it is?

Love the content but I was warned about true fuel by several moped guys around here(something about the additives) ... I still use the containers for back up fuel they said use regular gas or non ethanol with 2stroke mix

I have the last of the 750's (best looking), the first of the 800's (fattest looking) and the first of the NC30's (because I can't afford the RC30). I smile every day... :o)

Thanks for giving me the idea of what to place my engine on! I don't want to get an engine stand and I was thinking of placing the motor on wooden blocks or something while I get the frame refurbished (slow rebuild), but a dolly seems more adequate

Get heated grips! Its a lifesaver in winter.

Hell yeah awesome video

That cam drive chain is beefier than some car engines have, definitely not specced to a price.

Great host for learning the process in this sort of project. The history lessen is a bonus for me as I am considering a K. I plan not to mod. Getting some of those issues sorted will take long enough. Cheers.

This is one hell of a lesson on k bikes .fantastic ✌️🏍amazingly narrated with so much info .thank you 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It's a great bike, the torque makes it easy, but can make you lazy with your shifting.

I need that ECU tune in my is a 2005 , im in Brooklyn

And thanks for all the links for help and info 👍 👍

It's absolutely brilliant from part one rite to the end Help me keep going on my 1994 k75 build Still ongoing 👍👍👍

Bro lost his password.

I'm late to the party, but never too late thought. A week ago I picked up my 1986 K100RS in pretty much good condition (apart from few oil leaks, just BMW things). Plan is to build it to be pleasant to look at. I might have lucked out with the budget since the fairings were painted 2 years ago and look brand new. Selling all useless parts. After watching this video I am still going to keep my original plan. I gave myself time upcoming winter to build the bike, but not going to mess with any electronics now. I will brief myself with your video series on the build, thank you.

Yoooo,,,, i live near jfk. You know any good bike mechanic that I can take my 954rr to. Problems starting and getting handlebar risers

The bike sounds like vag flapping in the wind 😂

Dude, WE MISS YOU!!! Please report! 😢

I would kill for a cbx1000. nice ride well done ride safe 👍.

Bro, I cant believe that you did tomos 😅 I was born in Serbia (ex Yu) and grew up on those. That is later model Automatik we call it, with that tank on it. Bike was junk if you ask me😁 But just because of that its perfect for overhauling. Respect bro. I don't know if we exported Tomos apn 4 . Check it, it has gears and far more robust. Anyway I wish all the best in future projects. Rock on 🤘

The big mouth cans are awesome looking. Delkevic makes a really nice product. Dont like all these shorty cans out now. Without the baffles would be a bit too much noise. This is probably just right

Cool man, Great video. I wish in knew the ECU stuff with an android when i had my speed triple. But great to know for my next speed triple. Gosh its a good bike, and that engine is so powerful in all ranges.

I’m in this same situation lol, found a 07’ With 12k miles for 3 grand 🤯, dude said he doesn’t ride anymore so it just needs new tags lmao a freaking steal!

crap forgot the biturbo exhaust I never mounted...and I welded a piece of 2 inch EMT as a crossbar and mounted a 84 pacer fuel tank to it then painted it black...wow have I been that busy that I forgot about Tomas (my name for him)?

I had a XJ 650 T for a couple of years. Great bike, one of the best I’ve owned. Fantastic comfort and pretty fast for the day. Slightly more powerfull than the XS 1100 and way more powerfull than the Honda CB 900, when measured at the wheel. One of the bikes you regret selling.

Anyone else think this was a black man before you saw him?

You driving around my old hood lol that’s Brownsville. I went to high school over there too

Great video, thanks for posting :)

The Hole looks creepy af at night but I've been there multiple times on my bicycle at ungodly hours and never had a problem. Though I don't suggest anyone else do it

Ride fast,talk fast and keep it honest.
