Where Did This Honda CBR600 Come From?!

[@TheProfoundPenguin]

Love the daily uploads, would like to see more progress on the fixing of the bikes.

[@DirtbikeNb]

Yes I agree, I like the old style videos back in the day with the yz426’s he had

[@BimsiBoi]

Very excited to see a sport bike on the channel

[@johna6968]

Sport tourer my American friend. An RR would be a sport bike as you call it.

[@Tyler-vu3ur]

AWESOME! Happy to see a sportbike on the channel

[@alangrubb4185]

Jake, please get yourself some t handle wrences!

[@89HondaCR500R]

if you never had a streetbike before something tells me you gonna have one soon after this one

[@edwardchamberlain7858]

OMG I am so waiting for video of him taking my bike on a test drive. I hope the carbs are close to synced when he gets it running. HOLD ON cuz.this is gonna be great.

[@salazam]

And then another, and another... everyone outgrows the 600, but it's a great place to start.

[@dixoncider7256]

indeed :)

[@chadriddle3517]

I had a 98 cbr 600 and absolutely loved it about 20ish years ago, this made me miss it . Dead reliable. I love the daily uploads

[@coolhodgepodge5778]

I'm getting into a habit of watching you guys every evening. I feel like I'm getting comfy for the evening and spending it with an old friend.

[@jake360flip]

Daily vids are an absolute yes, It's always a pleasure to watch before bed as I'm here in the UK. p.s i bought, fixed up and now ride a kx100 all because of this channel with no prior knowledge

[@HeroRR]

Even if it is not yours it’s awesome to see you have your hands on an F3 cbr! I can’t wait to watch the test ride when you’re done.

[@jenniesgarage]

I am really wondering how I'll like it. Never ridden a cbr before. I will try not to embarrass myself on the 1st ride!

[@starfox_wr-45e93]

A word on the fuel pump + carbs situation: If the cbr's system is similar to my old 98' zx9r, the pump will only do anything when it senses the float bowls are getting low. It signifies this by clicking a few times, so if this happens be aware it may still be functioning as intended. This threw me off once.

[@wobblysauce]

Yep, it is more for instant assistance.

[@jameshisself7375]

Pull the seat. Normally pull the tank next, but I think this bike pulling the side fairings is a good idea too. Pull the air box. Pull the carbs and clean. Replace fuel lines and filters. Check spark while you are in there. Fresh gas. Turn key. Start. Set idle mixture and rpm. Balance carbs. Short video. For longer video, jet carbs if needed and fine tune.

[@bob8086]

good news is once youve taken apart a 90's-2000's japanese inline 4 bike. Youve taken apart them all. The fuel injected ones are more "plug and play" which is nice

[@matthewsemenuk8953]

IF dailies are too much, I do follow channels that do 3 a week. Whatever works. The real ones like you guys either way.

[@krisley5178]

I really like the daily videos. 👍 I do find it hilarious that as you're talking about knowing what your time is worth, you reach for an open end wrench to take out the fuel tank bolt that is way out in the open.....instead of an impact or even just a socket and ratchet.

[@edwardchamberlain7858]

Painful isn't it?

[@music-eg2rb]

Love the daily vids. I've got something interesting to watch every day. Well done love your channel 👍🏍️

[@Alexander_l322]

I love the videos daily. I hated waiting ages to see another video from you guys and I love the sports bike can’t wait to hear it run!

[@kenforehand9667]

Love the new format and the stream of consciousness commentary! And as a wise man (group) once said... Carry on my wayward son There'll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry no more

He's talking like that on purpose? I thought he was.... slow.

[@jasonbyarschannel]

Daily’s for the win. I’m loving the new format

[@bertamusprime618]

That D and D slip on is pretty cool piece that was the hot ticket early 2000s. I really like the old F3s. If you get a chance check out Honda F3 Smokin Joe Replica. It is a sweet replica of Honda's race bike back when Cigarette companies were still allowed to advertise in racing events. Keep up the great work.

[@salazam]

I'm modeling my '89 750 gixx after Schwantz's RGV500 with the Lucky Strike livery. (I know in '89 he rocked the Pepsi RGV, but he won the World Championship on the '93 and honestly I'd rather promote cigs than hfcs sugar water as they are much healthier).

[@bertamusprime618]

I like these daily vids. I wake up 7:00 AM and i always have new content for my morning coffee. This format kinda forces the viewer to watch daily or they will miss out. You never know what is the next days project and knowing how jake’s habits are regarding distractions, it could be anything 😅

[@helmet098]

Daily carburator videos are awesome

[@tundrajt]

I’m really liking the daily content and I don’t mind hearing you wax philosophical every so often. Stream of consciousness is pretty cool to hear to get an idea of what’s on your mind. I’m not sure about anyone else, but I have wondered that sometimes when I am watching my favorite KZbinrs. I know their primary content is not the only thing in their lives. So hearing something like that is somewhat comforting when I hear stuff that I often think about!

[@corporalclegg914]

the CBR 600 is a fun, super smooth machine & sporty bike to enjoy. it’s just enough of the other, without being an organ-donercycle. the only issue with a CBR 600 is the same issue as a Harley-D 883 Hugger & that’s what you have to hear & endure: “that’s a good starter bike.” your response is your choice. I tend to throw it back in cryptically biting ways…I have spare time. have a time, you two. thanks for all of the recent J’sG uploads. best wishes & keep on truckin’

[@ekimgb69]

Evaporust is amazing stuff. Clean that rust up amazingly

[@SportBikeAnthony]

The choke lever on my 96 CBR600 F3 goes all the way to the end of the arrow. I'm betting the carbs are gunked up. I'm excited to see you work on a F3 like mine. Also loving the daily videos.

[@trxtech3010]

If I am not mistaken that looks like an F3 Model. The reason they use a Fuel Pump is due to the RPM's they can achieve. At 14000 RPMS it sucks the fuel bowls dry so the fuel pump helps feed them.

[@BrookeHedrick]

Keep the daily videos coming!

I didnt hear the fuel pump prime with key on... Loving the daily videos. love that you use hand tools. Love watching you fix bikes whileb rambling. Not such a fan of watching you look for tools while rambling. Maybe 5S the garage so you can stay focused. This would also reduce your cut aways and save you time..... Got a great laugh out of how long it took to "fix" camera girls bike when it was just out of gas 😅... Finally dont firget to make time to ride your bikes. In ireland now its 6 degrees C and wet and going on a group ride on my kawasaki w800 today. Weather due to get bad from next week

[@williamedward3198]

Yes, I am liking the daily videos. Keep them up, but not at the expense of your wellbeing. Your channel will start gaining subs again soon, I can feel it coming -with all the recent uploads and engagement. Clean the gummy carbs and she’ll fire right up!

[@STIHLable]

My first big bike was a CBR600 F2. Loved it but after a few years the salt on British roads played havoc with the steel frame and I also lost 2nd gear (common issue). Ended up moving on to a 2001 GSXR 1000.

[@noyopacific]

I think that before I took the carburetors off I'd check for spark. If there's spark I'd squirt a bit of fuel into the cylinders and see if it will fire.

[@edwardchamberlain7858]

Yeah I really thought he would dribble a little fuel into the carbs from that IV. It would have sprung to life. But then we would all know and the fun of speculating would be gone. In other comments I've described how the bike had obvious fuel issues before I parked it. Really stupid of me to let it sit for so long.

[@jlbost3]

Love the daily videos! I watch them almost every night! Makes me feel like I’m being productive while sitting on the couch 😊

[@jeffferguson899]

always check the oil and check the air filter before cranking the motor over

[@WreckedRevival]

love the daily vids! Carb sync is fairly easy on quad carb bikes, start with syncing #1/2 cylinder vacuum (adjust screw between #1/2 carbs) next is #3/4 cylinder (screw between respective carbs), then sync 1/2 & 3/4 pairs together with the screw between #2 & 3 carb. I prefer analog vacuum gauge sync tools over mercury, the digital gauges are nice just a lil pricey.🤙

[@dischlerkj]

That year is a pain in the butt to get running good I had one that I got for free it was garage set for over 4 years before I got it. I had it running in a day and running great a year later after re jetting the carbs and balancing the carbs.

[@alangrubb4185]

Jake, please get yourself some T-handle wrenches. Big time saver.

[@gymshoe8862]

When its running good it is a rocketship--you won't believe the effortless speed! Make sure the kill switch is on RUN. You can spray out the tank with a pressure washer unless its full of rust. If its just crud that got in there spray it out. Look at all the jets in carbs. If you have sparks it'll light right up. Don't get killed on it!

[@arichy4201]

I’m not sure if anyone commented about it yet but around the 7:58 mark it seems as there’s a missing bolt underneath the fuel cap cover and with one of those Allen bolts missing, it looks like it could be a funnel for water especially being on the lower side when the bike is on the kickstand. It might also be a water drain on purpose so the area where the cap is doesent fill with water.

[@edwardchamberlain7858]

Wow good eye. That Allen bolt has been missing for a while.The thread was stripped and it wouldn't tighten up. I actually had it laying around for quite some time but it finally disappeared. The bike is garaged, but good point. I will find a replacement for sure.

[@heiner71]

I think it is related to ignition. With 4 carbs in play, I would expect at least some sign of life. I may have started out with removing one of the spark plugs and check for spark.

[@edwardchamberlain7858]

Wrong. It ran but then got wonky and wouldn't cruise. Accelerate, oh yeah, cruise, it was stumbling. Then the next time I rode it, it was even worse. When one cylinder dropped out, I'm sure due to fuel starvation, I parked it. I'm putting clues out here. Keep the speculation alive.

[@benfox8571]

Love an old CBR! Great content. Miss my F2... but I want to keep my license 😮

[@edwardchamberlain7858]

It's not the bike, it's the driver. Owned it for about ten years. Never got a ticket. Got pulled over three times, and every time cuz the cop liked the bike and wanted a closer look.

[@darrinwoodward14]

Back in the day of carburated street bikes as a motorcycle technician, every spring,that's all I did was carburetor cleans! Damn,if people would just run ethanol free fuel,or at the least,drain there carbs before storing the bikes! Had 3 lifts in my bay,1 for major repair,1 for simple services, and 1 for carburetor cleansing! Also,on a bike that old,always pull the plug wire boots and check there is no corrosion at the connection.if there is,clip off about a quarter inch,and reinstall the plug boot!

[@edwardchamberlain7858]

It was my daily driver. About 1k per week. When I started parking it more than riding it, I always shut the fuel off and let it drain the bowls. But the fuel in the tank got stale and funky, and I'm not sure if that's rust in there too. The bike started stumbling when cruising but acceleration was okay. Then when it dropped a cylinder due to fuel starvation, I parked it. Clogged jets, and maybe junk in the pump too. Too bad it's not spring yet.

[@darrinwoodward14]

@edwardchamberlain7858 best thing you can do after you get everything cleaned,is run ethanol free gas.most co-ops have it and marinas.its the ethanol in modern pump fuel that makes it go bad so fast.ethanol free has a 6 year shelf life.

[@ronsherfy6291]

Love my daily dose of Jake! Dirty carbs for sure!

[@edwardchamberlain7858]

Yup for sure. When he pulls the air box off and dribbles a little gas in those carbs it WILL spring to life. And OMG it sounds so good when it's running right.

[@AndrewWilsonOz]

With the kick stand side thing, that being said about only lifting it on the kickstand side, when moving the bike, its better to be on the opposite side to the kickstand. Reason being, if you are moving it, and the bike gets too heavy, or you suddenly need to put it down, or if it starts to tip over, if your opposite the kickstand, it can only fall down to the kickstand side with your weight pushing against the bike. If your are moving the bike, on the kickstand side, and your weight is pushing/leaning against the bike, and you over lean, then the bike is going down. If you do the same thing, from the other side, the bike will fall onto the kickstand, not the ground.

[@germanium1872]

I wish you had gone a little further on this one. It looks fun

[@rm25088]

[@buscoclanlatinol2494]

absolutly liking the daily videos , would like to see "projcets" or fixes if you like, being completed though

[@charlesronk2989]

Looking forward to seeing you fix this. Would that much crap in the gas block up the fuel pump? I would think you would want to make sure you are getting gas to the carbs before starting on them. You could clean them and then have the fuel pump dump a bunch more crap right back into them.

[@Tall_blue_grass]

Thank you!!!

[@TheTojocat]

nice to see a road bike instead of off road bikes being worked on, and info nobody cares about but we have the exact same laundry washing machine. I dont watch daily but i appreciate your daily vid effort. i likely check you out every few days but if time permits ill watch more than 1 vid. Your a great trouble shooter and explain things well, and your a lucky man to have a partner like camera girl !!

You are very true,a man's time is (woman's) is the most important thing we have..........and we throw it away like it's nothing

[@pjm204]

Might have done it off camera but I always check the oil before cranking, often times I will just change it. I've had several bikes over the last year that I've bought where the entire crankcase is filled with gas. I have had two where there was no oil at all in them.

[@edwardchamberlain7858]

Oil is fine. It was my daily driver. I usually put 1K miles a week on it, so I checked the oil every weekend. Then times change, and I let it sit too long. Gas isn't what it used to be. It gets bad so quickly now.

[@geexskill]

I like the daily vidéo. Maybe 2 or 3 vidéos a week is the good shot. I like how the camera girl is rushing jake, that's a very funny gimick!

Jake I don’t understand how you can be a perfectionist and detail oriented when it comes to fixing things but then not have your tools organized. Not to mention on the ground and bending over everytime to get a tool. It doesn’t make sense. I love your vids btw not trying to hate. Go get the mechanic or tech cart from harbor freight and some socket and wrench organizers lol.

[@libertyforamericanow]

You can clean the carbs all you want you better have a sink gauge for those multiple cylinders

[@questsischiller4443]

I think Camera Girl had a good idea early in video to check the spark. Anytime u let your carbed bike sit ,it's a prob with the carbs. Boat motors same thing.

[@lselfridge7020]

You need a mobile tool cabinet for your tools so they are off the floor and seperated😊

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

Gum in the carbs after seeing the crud in the tank you can count on it. Yep, the dailies are pretty good. Guess you'll know if they aren't by the comments.
