Where we have no sponsors and a $1 is still a $1. Well done!

I did enjoy the asthetic of the old parts, except for the piston. It's so much work to get to the piston, just change it while you're there. No one is going to go, "well la-de-da, aren't we the fancy one with our new piston". No loss of street cred.

Tip for putting on gloves easier. It’s better to just shake them out if you need to open them, not blow into them. When you blow into them, you’re putting the moisture from your breath into the glove, which then makes the rubber grip your skin more. So blowing into the glove may open the glove up, but in the end it’ll be harder to put on.

This has to be the fifth time I watch this. And every time I just watch it in silence and at the end it just puts a smile in my face. Great work, makes me wanna buy an old KLR. Think that could be my next motorcycle.

[@thomascharnock]

That was incredible. I wish I had the skills displayed here. Damn.

[@martycech5844]

Practice makes one better... assemble all the tools, gaskets and parts you will need. And a shop manual... you can do it.

[@zero2sixty420]

@@martycech5844 I was thinking the same thing. There are likely proper ways to *do* parts of he job, that I wouldn't be familiar with, but in the end, it's a puzzle, and one has directions.

How It’s Made FortNine style. Probably one of the best videos I’ve seen on KZbin. Great job Ryan!

[@advhawk6455]

Evidence that you have actual mechanical skills. Well done. Those blue fork boots and blue and white graphics are atrocious and sublime. A Phoenix from the ashes. This is love.

[@BradB6910]

Great video Ryan. Really like the stuff you do and the overall honesty and humor that goes with it.

[@geraldl5221]

Would have loved to see the frame cleaned, and painted. Would have looked amazing. I can understand you may have been trying to keep it looking stock, and the budget down ;).

[@CB-lh8gw]

This made me ridiculously happy. I don't even know why. I feel like the only thing that would make me grin even more stupidly would be giving me 10 minutes in a tool store to grab everything I can and all those tools would be free... Good job man.

[@FireFighterSwag]

More technical videos like this would be amazing! Good stuff!

[@JBMotorrad]

The best video I will watch all day! Fantastic concept and expertly executed! Well done!! Loved the grid layout of the parts!

[@hdhejehwkaje6542]

I wish I was this knowledgeable about anything in this world, especially dirt bikes/motorcycles

[@DjiBalz]

This is beautiful! So the KLR is truly unkillable, with some TLC from Ryan ofc

[@pepeseco6643]

Lord, how I wish to be able to do that all by myself! I Congratulations.

[@musguelha14]

Honestly, if you have the right tools and a good workshop manual you can do it. You just need patience, and take your time to double-check what you're doing.

[@duncanwilliams3320]

A KLR is great to learn on! Quite simple bikes. Cheap and available parts. If you do run into trouble, someone should be able to help for some beers and a laugh. Go for it! It's a proud feeling rebuilding a bike

[@leo33125]

what a great piece of video creation, i think youtube should award prices for this quality. Money is just not the right incentive.

[@ssuperfour]

Extremely well put together video. Well thought out, good pacing, informative. Make more!

[@RonaldFinger]

This was utterly fantastic. Really gives me inspiration/hope for my project bike. Oh, the subtle "69" of the hand guard brackets was a nice touch too :)

[@Ara10320]

Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well. I came to the comments to see if anybody else has noticed the "69". Nice I wish you the best of luck with your project bike.

[@BananaMana69]

When I first started seeing this channel I thiught Ryan was just some witty kid that they pulled off the street to do the videos. After seeing videos likw this I can see that this guy is a hardcore motorcycle dude. Not many men out there who have ridden the amount of bikes or know nearly as much or have even attempted a project like this. You sir belong in the Motorcycle Hall Of Fame.

[@stephenromano1906]

Great video. F9 continues to lead the way with quality content.

[@andrewblahut6213]

sooo how long in real time? great vid

[@kimchy4692]

Mesmerizing to watch, the amount of knowledge this dude has about motorcycles is hard for me to comprehend

[@rodrigocebola8231]

I had to pause at 3:49 just to say.... THIS VIDEO IS SOOOOO SATISFYING!!!!!!! Thanks man... and carry on with the awesome work!!!!!

[@logan9337]

Love the "nessun dorma" for the final reveal. Very fitting!

[@PupuTheMonkey]

I won't lie...I might have shed a tear at the end. What a beautiful machine.

[@mickmondeo]

This channel blows my mind!
