Cafe Racer Timelapse build - Yamaha XJ 600 (FJ 600)

[@jasonronald4305]

The best thing about this build is that the motorcycle remained as close as possible to the original and that's what I appreciated the most 🔥

[@nolanboyer6883]

Makes me so happy to see someone pouring love into a great old machine like this. Honestly really inspiring.

[@porkchop2723]

Very nice outcome with minimal changes (compared to professional builds). I like those common Yamaha wheels. They were same wheels on my SRX6

[@Bubbmann]

Y'kno I'm not even a motorcycle guy, I love american muscle cars. But I have the utmost respect for any person that has the mechanical skills to be able to take an old bike and turn it into something simple, clean, and original. I really admire that you're clearly just doing this in your apartment with what space and time you have. I've seen your other videos and the bikes you build are absolutely beautiful. Forget all the shiny bells and whistles. The bikes you're making are beautiful as just the raw engine on a frame that they are. Keep on keepin' on.

[@Metrobus271]

I like this build because of its basic simplicity in building it and it’s appearance. This proves the average individual can do quality work and do it on a budget.

[@Ginga7r]

Great video mate, she looks awesome. a wee tip for you see you carb balancers get you self four wee adjustable inline screw valves and when the bike is running you can close them down to smooth the needles right out, it works a treat and you will get a far more accurate reading. Lovely bike though Sir.

[@sr7judo233]

That balancer set usually comes with the damping valves, or at least mine did.

[@dovana32]

The man at 13:43 straight up praised the lord for letting him witness this masterpiece :D

[@Luke_SkyWalk3r]

lmao!

[@Jvha761]

Im not a fan of cafe racers, but its amazing how you bring that old yamaha back to life and turned it to something you love. Keep it up!

[@sebmenot3628]

Étant possesseur d une xj600s de 1998, je reconnais le travail que tu as fait, et te dit BRAVO pour cette jolie transformation 👍✌

[@thomaspigg306]

You made a nice clean looking bike Sir!!! Back when I stripped down my KZ 1300 to a racer, I removed the front (drivers) pegs and welded attachments to the frame and ran my shifter and foot brake to the rear pegs (as well as welding the pegs solid). That way even if someone ask, I couldn't carry a rider (passenger). Put on a 6 into 1 header, pulled the guts (baffles) out of it, removed the turn indicators and everything else I could. Only had a tach on the triple tree (Ain't got no time to look at a speedo!!!). I had the drive shaft and rear hub gears changed by a pro (I'm a country boy!, I don't know anything about such stuff), and she'd top out about 165-170 m.p.h. The reason I know this... That's what I was clocked at. Lost my license for a year, had to pay a crap ton of money to the state and was told if I was ever caught speeding again with in the state they'd revoke my license permanently. Glad I wasn't ever caught afterwards.

[@howey935]

Looks stunning mate you’ve done a top class job. I’d be proud as punch if I had the finished bike.

[@danielberggren8528]

well done dude!!! i am currently modifying an xj600 from 1984. it's been quite complicated, but your video gave me a lot of inspiration now. amazing work!!!

[@JosephMask]

excelente trabajo, saludos desde mexico

[@ridingisfreedom8854]

Best thing about this video was how the guy that built it rode it. You can tell he's enjoying the fruits of his labour. Beautiful machine and much respect bro

[@georgearmaos9811]

She is gorgeous! Wonderful job there! Ride safe bud.

[@tinacool2996]

Mega 🖤 my Respekt. (my First bike was a xy 650)

[@hallobre]

I really like the fact that you keep you original tank!!! Almost all cafe racer builds use these “old school” bad quality, skinny tanks. I much rather like the “modern” twist you have it! Keep up we need more builds!!!!

[@ersonvelasco2531]

The time and effort truly pays off... Amazing bike!

[@Kinghenry_XIV]

Loved the way the project was performed...not like dismantle everything and everything at single breathe...simultaneous and neat work...handles..headlamps...tank/carb...air filter...then finish tank..finally rear end...etc... Great work...amazing mod...beautiful ride... 👍🏽

[@AyYildiz076]

This looks great! I ride a `99 Xj600 and in one or two years I also want to make a cafe racer out of it..

[@Youtubeforcedmetochangemyname]

I have a 94 and a 92 the 92 I put the rear suspension from a yzf600r thundercat on it the front is on my 94

[@molic1981]

i have the '99 yamaha xj 600 diversion seca 2 .

[@nickwilliams1065]

Nice job, you have taken a vastly underrated bike and turned it into a thing of beauty well done. So many guys just go out and buy that look, most companies make something along those lines trying to catch the hipsters and sting them for a fortune, when they could get into something no one else has for less than half the cost of the new one. Hope the bike gives you years of pleasure.

[@juancarlosllorente6924]

Admirable amigo. Tienes el espiritu, la ética, inquietud y conocimientos. Me apena un poco ver que trabajas en un estacionamiento. Mucho deseo pronto puedas tener un taller mas apropiado, ventilado, cómo y seguro. Que Dios te bendiga hermano. Saludos desde Caracas, Venezuela

Haha 28k already means a lot for me :) but thanks! :) I wish I had a youtube play button though haha

[@77folgore]

Anyone could have achieved an equally good lookin result by changing the tank and the wheels. You managed to pull it off by keeping the originals and that was your true success!

[@Suffolktrueblue78]

Awesome job bringing a second lease of life to the old Yamaha, very clever I like it allot.

[@likeitornotbut5900]

For around town traffic you can't beat a cafe racer, Sweet job!

[@endlessimmersion8942]

It’s very cool work, of course! but I have only one question, why have you paid so much attention to the tuning of the carburetors and the exhaust system, but you did not do the engine overhaul? regardless of its condition, cleaning channels, changing rubber bands and general diagnostics would significantly increase its lifetime and ride comfort. why not?

[@TahitianRider]

The engine has already been inspected not long before I bought the bike, I do have new set of cam cover gasket I plan to change, I will also re paint the cylinder and polish the covers. This was only the step 1 of the build ;)

[@endlessimmersion8942]

@@TahitianRider many thanks for answer! For me inspection of the engine is the most interesting and thrilling jobs of any repair of Moto or auto, so I asked for it. If it possible, please show it in the next videos!

[@TheCarablanco]

This is a very impressive build - especially instructive for those of us with few tools and no "garage" space. I went through a very similar issue; rust in the tank and crud in the carbs. Wow, that was a long time ago....

[@deepblue839]

awesome vid! where did you learn to do all these things? have you got mechanical background or self taught with the internet?

[@TahitianRider]

thanks man! no mechanical background at all, learnt evrything from the internet ;) I have been working on bikes or ATV for 10 years though ^^

[@rronaldreagan]

@@TahitianRider quick question: You seem to be french, dont you have there an anual or bianual mandatory inspection to pass? I know thats the case in germany and spain, and its the reason why so many people never customize their vehicles...because if they do, they wont pass that inspection and the police will fine you and even take your bike

[@D1XA]

@@rronaldreagan Germany is really restrict on the mods you can do on your vehicle which is really dump... You can't even change the wheels of your car without having an authentication...

Et ce Week End, j'ai réussi enfin a acheter un XJ600 dans le 72 (^^) !!! (un petit embrayage que j'ai commencé a réparer!) Donc après s'être buté sur ta vidéo, y a plus qu'à faire pareil !
