I reckon Craig carry’s this channel a lot, with out him they would be missing heaps, I feel like he doesn’t get the props he deserves, keep it up Craig mate your good at what you do 🤟🤙

[@shemwhitehead9517]

Sean and Craig are like Freddy Tavarish and Jared Pink, but of motorcycles.

[@speedtofu2108]

It was different content when Sean was using it to sell bikes. I dont think he ever intended on being a production studio. I think they both carry each other and without the two it wouldn't be a fraction as good as it is now

[@jamesireland9188]

Comment section always makes me laugh some of you are like high school girls starting drama and rumors. They work good with each other you wouldn't know Craig if it wasn't for Sean. Some of you talk crap and bad mouthing Sean it's ridiculous what reason would you have to make negative comments. Just enjoy the free content no need to talk shit and judge lol.

@@speedtofu2108 Thanks, I was wondering if he used to sell via SRK cycles....I thought I recognized the voice.....I just found this channel like this week. I looked at all his bike reviews before buying my (new to me) vstar 1100 last august.....he did great real reviews on bikes....

I always see how much fun you guys have doing these videos cause I know if I was you id have a blast as well. I always wanted to do what you guys do or heck even what demolition ranch does. Watched your lifan video and Welp I tried and failed i ended up getting a lifan but it was the biggest mistake every. Bought it for 1600 ended up selling it for 200. I have the worst luck but at the end of the day you guys still keep my hopes up.

I need one of those bikes sir lol. Always wanted a big wheel and a fat cat

[@rob77ist]

Maybe u should leave the filming to Dan 😆 lol

[@AshtrayAnnie]

Probably needs new piston rings or new sleeves. If it has too much compression it's not going to run properly on pump gas.

[@davelowets]

Old bikes loose compression as they age and accumulate miles, not gain it.

[@AshtrayAnnie]

@@davelowets I'm well aware that's how it usually works. But in some cases the Pistons and/or rings expand, making them fit tighter in the sleeve. This is most likely what's going on, either that or valves aren't opening to alleviate and let the exhaust breathe. It just doesn't make sense why it would have that much compression...

[@davelowets]

@@AshtrayAnnie How could the "valves not open"? 😕 "Pistons and rings expand in some cases" Huh?? They expand EVERY time the engine gets hot, and then they shrink back down once it cools. But they certainly do NOT just "grow" on their own over time and affect the compression ratio. Wow.

[@davelowets]

@@AshtrayAnnie Believe me, the compression was there when the factory built it, or else someone put a high-compression piston in it at one point in it's life. Engines don't just gain compression over time, it's not possible on it's own. In an extreme case, heavy carbon deposits can form on the piston and in the combustion chamber that could very SLIGHTLY increase the compression ratio, but nothing like what your thinking.

[@AshtrayAnnie]

@@davelowets You've never heard of a stuck valve? And these bikes were made very cheaply, depending on materials used some metals are more malleable than others. It's not the first time I've seen an older engine with more compression than it should have. It's pretty clear you 'tinker' with motors the odd time and think you know everything though🤣. I'm well aware what rings are suppose to do. I'm saying it's not always the case. You might've worked on a few v8s but you obviously haven't worked on many different bike engines. The difference in metals, materials, especially from manufacture to manufacture is quite different. Old bikes were all over the place.

Bike lift tip...take a ratchet strap through the front wheel and around the uprights of the wheel vise to lock the front wheel in the vise (or up against the uprights in this case). It secures the motorcycle front wheel in the vise much better than the vise tension alone.
