[@motoblueprintguy9097]

I am rebuilding one for the first time as well and your videos are very imformative. Thanks so much!

[@TheAmateurBikeBuilder]

Glad to help

[@billgreen4148]

Just for future reference...clamps on the intake boots before trying...springs on the boots...then install the carbs...is how we did it when we built them in the factory....

[@TheAmateurBikeBuilder]

Thanks Bill, appreciate your comment and advice, will keep that in mind for next time

[@garyowens8280]

I invert the air box rubbers before installing,makes it a easier .I’d post a photo if I knew how😀🏍️

[@tdublove9558]

[@TheAmateurBikeBuilder]

Looking good pal, I need another project now I’ve finished mine. Got my eye on a Suzuki GS650Gt

[@TheAmateurBikeBuilder]

Cheers, already got my next major project, a Z1000, the suzuki sounds interesting though, resto or butcher ?

[@notamotorbikemechanic]

The Amateur Bike Builder, not sure, fancy doing a bobber. I think it will make a nice fun bike 🏍

[@TheAmateurBikeBuilder]

@@notamotorbikemechanic i look forward to the videos

[@daveunsworth9931]

Watching you struggle with your carbs was a familiar thing to me as i to struggle with the airbox etc on mine.will you put jubilee clips on the engine side of the carbs??

[@TheAmateurBikeBuilder]

i hate it, not the easiest thing to do

[@billburton6273]

doing a good rebuild , would be better to put crankcase breather pipe on before carbs.good program.

[@TheAmateurBikeBuilder]

Thanks Bill, appreciate your comment, i would if i had one, so will have to go on at a later stage unfortunately, but yes, would have been easier

[@nigelfisher3756]

Thanks for posting your Z650 rebuild - a great bike in their day. Where did you get the original spare parts from?

[@TheAmateurBikeBuilder]

Cheers Nigel, a combination of Wemoto / Z-power and Fowlers and also Ebay

Your engine is shinny as new. Did you paint it silver or polished it?

[@TheAmateurBikeBuilder]

Thanks, it was degreased then cleaned and i sprayed it silver using engine paint

[@HowardJudWalsh]

Looking good Keith. Which lube did you use pal.

[@TheAmateurBikeBuilder]

Cheers Howard, pleased with how its going, as for lube, used a light smear of vaseline, made it so much easier
