We have TERRIBLE news about the ENGINE!! [Wrecked Bike Rebuild - Ep 21 - Vstar 1300 Bobber]

[@blatherama]

Watching The Brain use his full powers is truly awe inspiring.

[@cmatthew4]

he was only at 1% :O

[@grif5447]

And we are all reminded again why Brian is there, as someone who tears down old stuff and tries to put it back together for a living, I respect his ability to work backwards from a symptom to diagnose the problem, difference between a band aid fix and a permanent one. Hats off everyone.

[@iTzInsaneX2]

I love watching Brian going full speed mechanic.

[@BraerHZ]

Brian's wealth of knowledge is nothing short of intimidating.

[@burtpickering6805]

Best episode to date!! Something fascinating about the inside the engine 😍

[@robertorellana5217]

Wow Brian, now you have my full respect. You tore down the engine like a mad scientist. Awesome job.

[@McStovepipe]

Frying a clutch isn't that hard to do, but to fry it THAT bad. God blessed you to have Brian there.

[@SaqibKhaliq]

Great episode. Amazing that you found the issue. The clogged oil pick up was eye opening.

[@padsman216]

my dude, it's a gamble with any second hand bike. hell, it's better you found it than having it seize 3 weeks down the line. it's a chance to learn, and the next time you can factor it in to the considerations with the next wrecked bike. I personally don't care if it goes a couple of episodes over, but I understand the legal side can be an issue. don't give up, small hickup in the grand scheme of things, and when it goes back together, you know, 100%, that the motor is a minter. loving the series, keep it up

[@patrickmulligan8093]

That was maybe the best episode of WBR I’ve ever watched. Great example of how quickly things can go from routine maintenance to “tear it all apart!”

[@1955Paawpabear]

Thank you from whomever wins this bike for being so thorough and taking the time to do things the right way. Many happy miles ahead on this bike because you did. 👏👌

[@bendriscoll302]

Honestly, thank God you had the Brain over there to know to dive that deep. Progressive damage is a huge issue that DIY-ers (and even some techs) don't know the signs for. Once he said that the clutch was burned up and there were flakes in the housing, I knew it had to come apart. I'd cut the filter open (they make a special tool for that so you don't get shavings everywhere) and look inside to check out the media. If the paper didn't have anything go through it then you should be good. It couldn't hurt to check the rod bearings to make sure that there's no scoring.

[@dbarrozo1]

Sir Brian. As soon as you saw the clutch disks, you realized that the oil collector was stucked with dirt. My respect to you, Sir. You are a hell of a mechanic. Congratulations.

[@kodieburns5097]

Wow this is why I watch this series! I learned a bunch of stuff thank you!!

[@sarcasmgaming7235]

I really learnt a fair bit thanks for explaining what you could

[@LookinnForward]

Chase should be getting way more views and likes! The show he created truly deserves that.

[@osburning182]

Informative and the most awesome episode of season 3!

[@nathalycarney4015]

Brian knew immediately what to do and reacted like the grand master that he is. Chase on the other hand was like oh crap I gotta put on big boi pants now and get to work lol Chase experience points from the episode leveled himself up and has mos def upgraded His confidence. My favorite episode Hands down. Great job everyone Yall Rock!!!!!!

[@R6foreternity]

I am beyond WTF! as to how that clutch got that destroyed and how it's possible to happen fast enough where the previous owner wouldn't notice unless it happened in the crash. I love working on engines and this was very very nice and calming to watch but I have never seen a clutch pack that obliterated in my life. I am also quite surprised that this ended up needing to be done with the truthfully light amount of damage done to the bike from the accident, but I can't wait to see more work on the engine as well as the continuation of this amazing build process. Love your work, love the camera work by Luke, and absolutely love the amount of knowledge, experience, and laughter that Brian brings to the episodes!!

[@AndrewJamesStep]

Not only is this entertaining, but it's legitimately educational. This is awesome!

[@jordandenmark8443]

I ain't even mad. I love watching Brian work.

[@moto_marcel]

Wow. i find it fascinating how you guys just take apart the whole engine and are going to rebuild it. Love the series!

[@TheGarnerjustin73]

Brian shows me exactly why patience is a virtue. Everytime i see him getting annoyed, he always keeps his cool. And i feel like Chase isn't learning anything about working on motorcycles from him.

[@mohdismail4342]

woah!!!!last season is the frame....now the whole engine rebuild holy shit.....

[@Barmatthew]

I think I wasn't that surprised once Brian smelled it. You could see a rut roh look on his face. The more he dug into the pack, the more you knew it was going way deep. You guys rock as always.

[@ANBURIDER]

well that escalated quickly 😂 awesome episode , Brian dropping some hardcore knowledge, i'm learning so much with you guys in every episode . thanks !

[@williamc3018]

Opening an engine is the equivalent of a childs surprise bag. Never know what your gonna find, especially being from a wrecked vehicle. Great stuff though informative and inspirational. Great job guys!

[@erikj6128]

I am a motorcycle mechanic myself, loved watching the tear down. Brian is sharp as a tac, hellava mechanic!

[@bigskrimp9847]

While it sucks that it’s gonna take longer, at least you’re doing it right the first time and making sure it doesn’t blow up later. Good on you for wanting it to be safe.

[@hujimix]

When I grow up, I wanna have a dad like Brian, that can teach me all the in and outs of motorcycle building

[@michead86]

Damn fellas.....super bummed that you had all the extra work but glad we get to see how it works.the content is still awesome regardless. . You learn something new everyday ! Keep it up!!

[@erock412sb3]

Damn good thing Brian is there. Chase the look on your face was priceless when he tore the whole engine apart let alone the clutch basket.

[@Jindujun]

I'm always switching between "wtf?" and "wow" to "aaaaaaah okay", when Brain does his thing lmao

[@silentj3419]

That was very interesting. Glad that Brain was there to catch it. 😷

[@plageran]

Thank you Brian! I'm considering changing my clutch plates, will know what signs to look for also. Will rewatch ZX10 episode to see what all Chase uses there

[@silfear1]

Brian, great job catching this up. I'd love to see like 5 more episodes about the engine. Just put bicycle crank arm and pedals on bike till its finished :-). Anyway, you have my fingers crossed because I know this will need lot of nerves, knowledge and parts. Ohh I'm so looking for next episode :-).

[@BrendonKinsey]

This is the best episode, not only of wrecked bike rebuild, but the channel to date. It was so awesome i have watched it several times 10/10 Chase!!!

[@Meifesto]

No slowmo of the alien acid spit. But i would love to see an episode or 2 extra with Brian explaining the working etc of the engine. Screw the deadline, engine knowledge is where it is at ;)

[@xcentric.ind.]

Not to surprised but fun watching Brian do his thing

[@TexasGearhead42]

Not surprised at all, these are the types of things that can happen. Love the vids! Never get rid of Brian.

[@tallboy2234]

Needed the "BRAIN" in this episode, didn't ya! Good job taking that apart.

[@dougdays7426]

I'm not surprised. I've been rebuilding and modifying used or wrecked bikes for years and there's always something. I think used bike rebuild is a better way to go than wrecked bikes allthough no guarantee but you could get something nice with minimal issues if any.

[@josecuevas8602]

On the other side of the coin, you got your self a very knowledgeable & detailed orientated motorcycle technician...

[@CountryBoyDak]

I would have been flipping out, my anxiety was getting to me as the engine was getting more and more taken apart, like I was thinking how are they gonna figure out how to get that back together, and plz chase don’t lose anything

[@markrodriguez5854]

was gonna say it might be worth grabbing yourselves an out of frame engine mount, so you can work on the engine in it's naturally sitting position in the bike, outside of the bike

[@67amri13]

wow Brian did very good disassemble this engine and good that he discover that the oil pump was effected by the blown clutch .... i really think he likes working on engine

[@moealfaleh5606]

I know it sucks for y'all, but seeing an engine taken apart like that was awesome.

[@doubledragon11988]

This is has happened to me as well. Thinking the engine needs something relatively minor, next thing I know I had to tear down the whole engine to fix the problem. Thank God ive only had to do it once. But it was a learning experience for sure.

[@skyusable]

Here's an idea for next season. Do a complete tear down of an engine and have Brian explain the steps. That's not only a goldmine of useful educational content that people actually want to see, but it's giving back to the moto community via some education. You could have broken this episode into 10 extra ones with explanation from Brian and I am sure nobody would be complaining. Just some food for thought for the next season.

[@CajunGreenMan]

Brain definitely earned his name (again) and his money (BWAHAHAHA!) on this one! I was wondering why you needed a full tear-down, until I saw the oil screen. OY! Great things to know, keep up the great work!

[@CajunGreenMan]

And you should put out a call for a welder to make an engine stand for you, if you're going to keep doing WBRs. Given the clickbaity title, I thought you had dropped the engine on the floor!

[@codychapman2099]

Man Chase it's better to have seen all that and basically reassure everyone here that this bike will be honestly the best rebuilt bike to date. One thing to ask... Would you all consider diamond cut heads?

[@dnice4431]

I wish I had Brian’s knowledge. That was too freaking cool.

[@wille0113]

You can also use gasket maker to seal the clutch cover, it works just fine

[@OLF001]

I fully understand brian there. I just replaced my outer clutch basket and the clutch pack a couple days ago and i only understood how it works once i actually saw it! It really was an aha moment :D

[@MrStevg8]

one of my favourite episodes so far, need more like this

[@metaldog7128]

It's better to find all these problems now, rather than once it's all back together and in the bike!

[@thedagda2026]

well i wish you guys the best of luck with the engine and I hope that you dont find anymore damage in the bearings in there from the particles

[@Thepianoman77]

every season I learn something new. Hope this series goes on for a LONG time! =]

[@iTzInsaneX2]

I actually got the KZbin notification!!!! That is a first

[@jpnkyari]

Same!

[@LJawz]

Loved this episode Chase. You could tell Brian was in his element! Keep up the good work men! 😁

[@cruisealong378]

should do a special episode with the crew and have a Q&A on their thoughts and opinions on season 3 of WBR, anything you guys would change etc

[@Whyiscarloshere]

Damn Brian you're the man, thank you for showing us and teach us all this. God bless you bro

[@smiffydooo]

Brian is one smart man, i need a Brian in my life

[@jellederks7512]

I like that Brian is wearing sunglasses so his head doesn't get burnt. Haha

[@SERGIOCHICOJR]

Today I saw very cool stuff, just a thought, since you have it already in pieces maybe upgrade the engine a bit. Keep up the good work

[@annamaysdaddy]

Wow that sucks Chase I just replaced the starter clutch on my vstar 1100 bobber and that was deep enough into the motor for me!

[@paintballgunner6985]

The look on your face is the look of every guy I've ever helped fix his bike lol 😂 hope you learned as much as you can buddy.

[@VeeFour]

Brian really shows his skills. That's a pro bike mechanic right there 😎👍

[@zakhughes9067]

You can see Chase pooping his brains out scared as hell the whole time... We all start somewhere by the way LOL keep your head up Chase

[@Need_Rounds_Now]

Seeing just what kind of headache this can cause, can you or Brian suggest a reasonable interval for us to check our clutch plates? Or sounds/signs/symptoms that it's probably time to replace? Excellent season so far from start to now!

[@gamekeeper687]

Just ensure regular oil changes and correct lever adjustment to prevent unwanted dragging/slipping causing early wear. If you want to be pedantic maybe every 12-15000miles or so have a look inside and check the friction&steel plates etc.

[@jiggleyB]

That was amazing, i cant wait to see it get rebuilt.

[@boogie9126]

As a V Star 1300 owner I was cringing during most of this video. Kills me how people abuse and neglect their bikes and are usually the first to say its a POS. I am no where near Brian’s level of expertise but I am meticulous about maintenance and keeping my bikes clean. That and always having some tools and tire repair kit just makes sense to me. Glad this bike is getting a second chance. Nice work gentlemen.

[@dannyfresh6697]

26:42 oh dear goodness me.... Yeah this is a motivation to check and change my clutch pads

[@cainus8359]

Love the smell of burnt clutch in the morning. But seriously, what's with the gloves and breathing apparatus? ? 😂😂😂

[@ch1m8n91]

loved this episode. love how descriptive Brian is as well. its interesting

[@transdetendal]

honestly , thts to be expected by a crashed bike! but its not the end of it ,and NOW you know if its all right ! super good shots from luke ,he needs the words for all hes good cam work ,and brain needs all the power upps to get through this ,chase , thanx for the entertainment!!!

[@Kansloos_]

Brian reaaaally needs his own channel

[@DualsportDMAN]

Chase doesn’t even know what a piston is!!?!?!?!?!!!! You are killing me dude. I absolutely love your channel! And you! But who starts a motorcycle mechanic series and they don’t even know what a piston looks like!?!? Fire him Brian!!! Hahahahaha

[@bldeagle10]

That right there is why i am a hobbiest mechanic. Simple jobs can turn into nightmares.

[@joefiegel9537]

You guys got me hook line sinker! I'm going to be watching every RBR for now on! P.S. Sorry that happened

[@chrismcginty3687]

Head up you got top mechanic and have faith in you all

[@2wheelz420]

Love the explanation of the clutch thanks Brian

[@shakeymoto4532]

SOMBER!! LOL Brian you are the man!

[@SweDownhill]

Fantastic episode!! Very educational..

[@joannewilson6577]

WoW! Brian is really impressive.

[@maciekglebocki9640]

I think Brain knew something's up when he asked You to smell the drain plug. Glad nothing catastrophic happened to the engine. U just need to replace oil pump and gaskets. Nothing else got damaged.

[@CMYKPOn]

Holy shit this was informational. Awesome episode, sucks that the clutch was blown. Good job guys.

[@adderian1032]

I am thinking about how extremely long the intro will be at like season 7...

[@linusnsa8866]

Dude this technical stuff is amazing! I love Brian

[@devinupton1420]

Sir,Bryan your arts are inspiration

[@MotoNordico]

Very nice video, good luck with the rebuild guys!

[@geografiktongue]

Brain is a monster when he is done talking. Makes me want to check on my own clutch, kinda also makes me not want to...

[@filmcamera]

Coolest WBR episode EVER!

[@bendriscoll302]

Keep on keepin' on Chase

[@christopherlucas6606]

Great Job on this one!

[@cr125rider2001]

This is the first epsiode since season 1 that i didnt skip any of the video holy shit

[@pulan007]

Brian that was epic. a pain for you guys but great to watch

[@davidfike346]

Good news found plenty of content for this season

[@luckylanno]

I'm actually pretty happy about the terrible news. Getting in the engine is the best part! And just as I say this, it goes into montage mode LOL
