So where is the belt replacement?

My first paying job was working at beaver lake state park cutting firewood planting trees cleaning campsite bathrooms and cutting grass...loved the old bell

Thanks for the Permatex 603 mention. I need that for another bike. Yes the shimming of the Duc singles is a fun experience. Building mine now.

I know where there is a basement full of these bikes and they are all going to the recycler for scrap metal. I feel awful.

This is a great video! Thank you for sharing. My dad (Bob Unterseher) moved our family from Montana to Jamestown in 1973. I was 3 and my sister was newborn. He began a position of associate pastor at the Assembly of God church and also with Si Liechty at Liechty Homes as the Winnebago pickup cover division manufacturing and selling the pickup covers around a 5 state area for the next 5 years. During his time as associate pastor, he and my mother Sharon built a successful children's ministry which eventually involved bussing the kids from around town to the church every Sunday morning. Some still remember the 5 or so Peptibismol pink church busses that transported about 130 kids to children's church every Sunday. They also drove a hollowed out Blue Bird bus around town with a piano in it to present a Children's Bible Story Hour program in neighborhoods throughout Jamestown. In 1977, I attended first grade at Washington Elementary in Miss Inger's class. I was class of 1988, ironically. In 1978, We moved to Colorado where I continued school in the second grade. 1983, we left Hettinger and lived on the road for nearly 7 years during which time we spent time in Jamestown often. To get our financial feet under us, Dad worked for Jon Liechty out at the Montpelier farm moving dirt with a tractor and scraper. Your video brings back lots of memories from my childhood.

Good job! I bought one just like that for a couple hundred dollars many years ago in running but scruffy condition. Planning on putting a 350 Sebring engine in it. I also have a Diana and Sebring, both of which I've put a lot of miles on and both run very well. The NC singles are great bikes! The YT site Back to Classics has a series of videos on rebuilding a 200cc NC single. If you haven't seen it, it's filled with good info.

Does anyone know if this series continues? I can only find three with this being the third.

Looking a video how to instal the side 3p system,on footpegs is abvious where to mount,but in the top under the seat i cant find anywhere i can mount it. Mine is 21 versys but i dont thing they got any difference

Your KZbin should say rebuilding a whole tractor, not belt replacement

Paul check the ground surfaces, page 86 right column 2nd paragraph in your Clymer manual the orange one.. I Just called you and left phone# I may have some information on LED bulbs for head light, parking lamp, and tail light bulb. If you noticed you have a great 28 watt generator so switching to LED helps a bunch. I have 64, 65, 66 new and old parts. ron in WA

Use the original shims if you are able. On matched bevel gear set you will see a grind mark. When they are flush to each other the shimming is correct. otherwise you need to use a blueing agent to see how the gear teeth mesh togather and backlash should be nill with no binding The original factory workshop manual is the best source for this information. I think copies of it is available. Shimming the bevel gears is not easy. Especially the first time doing it. The gears should not have slop. But it Is not perfect . Get it as close as you are able with no binding. look at the grind mark on the gears . The factory did this to make it easer to set them. This was not mentioned.

Not sure who is giving you information, i have an early 1965 and a 1966 model. Tell me who is giving you this information . I think you been misinformed .the scrambler was a very popular machine, I have been involved since the early seventy era. I am 68 and have been envolved for decades. i know that nobody knows everything.

I like such content but really must call you out on some of your claims. I have been involved with Ducati since the early 1970 era. It is incorrect some of the claims you make. Talk to me if you wish to have a discussion

Thanks. Enjoying the series.

Nice job and informative videos, please upload more! As for the parts, where did you get them? Thanks

Great video!

Love the chesterfield seat..

Paul, where did you locate the headlight, i need one for my Duc 175 ?

Nice workshop and bike ,video i have 1970/350 street scrambler and I'm a old fart to LOL

Paul, nice workshop, and your Ducati is really coming along nicely! Can't wait to see the next video. I too have a 1965 duc. A mk3 model. I also need to do a total overhaul to get her on the road. I have worked on plenty of motorcycles, but somehow this little bike has me intimidated. Watching you go through the process is very helpful. Thank you for posting. Keep up the good work!

This riding mower cannot discharge the grass properly because its outlet is too small and the fan is not efficient. One solution is to mow your lawn every 3 days (2 days in the spring) in order to mow a very small amount of grass. If you wait one week, the grass outlet will be blocked all the time. Conclusion: this machine is made to mow when you have no grass, a machine to mow in the desert!

Nice job! The 2000’s era Ducati decals on a 60’s bike will make bevel purists heads explode, so good job on that as well. Also, would love to see how you shim everything up.

Does the bell weight between the two pulleys give you a longer run time? Does it require twice the weight when compared to a single pulley system? Thanks

Hey I might know a guy that would have an extra tripod. Looks good Paul!

Beautyfull!!!🥰🥰

I have to say thank you for both videos of your build . It looks fantastic, you have done a great job , and your videos have helped me so much with my build which is 80% done . Having been able to see your build has helped me no end . Many thanks .

I have the exact same bike MY2021, wondering if the top box makes any rattling noise over potholes, rumble strips etc? TIA

Thanks Paul for your clear explanation. I'm also looking into getting another adventure style helmet that also has the modulair option of opening it full face. This helps me out quite well! Safe travels. gr Heico

That is really a spectacular Whirly, Paul. Congratulations on an excellent build. Beautifully done!

Acording to Shad catalog, Shad 3P System Pannier Kit (K0VR68IF) is suitable for Versys 2015-2021 but is not compatible with Shad SH 36 side cases. What pannier kit have you installed on your bike?

Do the side panniers just pop in or mount into the stock seat guards?

Would the bike still looks good without the side panniers? Is the 47L too big for the bike?

Can I use my relay from the original kawasaki, the one you use to install the 12Volt charger. I mean I alredy have one relay plugged in my bike, I think I don't need to use any other relays

Thank amigo. This is my New helmet 👍.

what's the coldest temperature you have worn these gloves in ?

great overview! where did you get the filter for the transmission? I was on the turf torq website and I couldn't it looked like all the spare parts were out of stock. Also, what version of the K46 did yours have? Thanks!

Thought only I'm wearing gloves in home ;)

The crash bars are from T-Rex Racing. I like them alot.

Hi, what kind of crash bar are you using?

The idler pulleys were ok? They seem to have bearings in them that don't hold up real well. Good job on the video and I agree video or take pictures as you go. Something may look so simple when its together but once apart you question yourself on how it goes back together.

Paul if I understand you are using a relay to power your lights, You would need an amp fuse large enough on the wire going to the battery but the wire from switch to relay only needs to be I believe a couple amps as it doesn't carry a load except for the trigger coil in the relay. Plus your switch also does not carry much of a load so it could be a switch rated much smaller. But anyway looks nice I'm a bit surprised LED floods draw that kind of amps.

Thanks for the review. Good stuff!

Paul, does your handguards hit the windscreen when you turn fully left & right?

Nice bro

how are you liking the versys? Your first bike?

Sweet bike...

Got some good video looks like a nice trip!

That looked fun!
