Yes, let's take a stock widowmaker, pop off to the shed and add another cylinder. And with that calm and soothing voice, it all sounds so reasonable...oooh some birds, a hedgehog, may as well have some fruitcake, a therapeutic polish...right then, off we go winding out satan's express elevator to redline on a cart path. The serenity is surreal. Am I the only one who finds the measured tones of this endeavour to be irresistibly insane? I lack the language to sufficiently pay the compliment which is due. Well done, sir. Well done.

Hi Alen ,That's a clean exhaust when you open it up,you reduced the oil pump? I had the Suzuki GT550 two stroke triple and it was smokeless around town but on the open road 60 and above a lot of smoke for 10/20 minutes.Also that sound quiet compared to my four exhaust pipes,centre pot splitting into two little exhaust pipes

Just his soothing voice explaining clearly and precisely what he's doing and why. Oh and the cake, mustn't forget the cake.

There's something therapeutic yet infuriating about Allen's videos. On the one hand, seeing everything working just so perfectly is absolutely wonderful. On the other, I've been trying to get the center cylinder on my 400 triple to run correctly for years, and I'm just too stupid to make that happen, while Allen is building whole motorcycles with a hacksaw and a roll of sandpaper, and they run like Swiss watches.

Is there any possibility that the crankshaft of your engine could have been rebuilt by someone without much experience of this model? At least some of them have the crank webs fitted to the main journal sections by friction only, no splines or key. Without special tools, or having put the crankshaft into a lathe and scribed a straight line along all the crank webs before dismantling it, it becomes very likely that the cranks are not properly set at 120 degrees to each other and if you set the ignition timing by the marks on the generator rotor it could be way out on the centre and/or right-hand cylinders. The same applies to Suzuki twin and triple 2-stroke engines, but not to Yamaha twins as they have splines.

@@cedriclynch The guy that did my crank has been the go-to for 2-stroke cranks in the area for the last 50 years and has an excellent reputation in the vintage bike community. If it had been anyone else I might have my doubts, but Charlie has done hundreds of Triples. I've also monkeyed with the timing quite a bit, beyond simply following the marks. I can make the bike run worse, but not better! Lol. Great suggestion though.

@@JETZcorp Another few suggestions: (1) fit precious-metal-tipped spark plugs if you haven't already; (2) with the engine idling, slightly pull the throttle cable of one carb and adjust the mixture screw of this carb to get the best response; then do the same on the other two in turn. (Is it possible that the middle cylinder is not firing at all at idle, possibly due to a blocked idle jet or an air leak into the inlet stub?) On some Kawasaki 2-strokes I have worked on I have found that the ports are very badly finished; the passages in the cast-iron liner and the aluminum jacket do not line up. In such cases some work on them with riffler files can work wonders for smooth running and give more power as well.

I tried to fit an MZ 250 with a Mikuni from the Suzuki GT500. It was virtually a straight swap, but refused to run right. I was convinced it was running weak but nothing worked. Then on (yet) another test ride it ran out of petrol and for a few moments the bike went like stink. It had been running rich all along and I made the basic mistake of assuming the original jetting was correct. Sadly, there were no jets available for that old carb so I put the bike back to the original. At least it was usable. So check your carburettor. It might be nothing to do with the ignition.

@@Dave5843-d9m Yeah, I've been all through the carbs. It does definitely feel like it needs to be leaner, but it's strange that it's rich at all throttle positions until a certain RPM. But the carbs are pretty crappy and best up in general, so I've been considering replacing them.

"We´re going to need a bigger boat," -- Jaws. "We´re going to need another cylinder," -- Allen Millyard. Oh, and some fruitcake. I´ve patched up a few old bikes and even butchered a few, but this man is both a surgeon and an artist, and there is a massive amount of knowledge and skill involved here which impresses me no end. And having always preferred the smaller roads, on everything up to my BMW R100RS, I like the way he builds big bikes for little roads. There is such a difference between gearing up for your ride, getting everything right, and having a good blast, and riding to work early in the morning, a place you´d rather avoid, in rotten weather, when you are a bit hung over from the night before ... Allen reinforces my opinion that motorcycles are NOT a form of transport, they are much, much more than that. I´ve joined the ranks of elderly gentlemen on scooters, and what do you know ? For all of my decades of experience, I´m once again, a small fish in a big pool.

As a high school junior I bought a KH-750 a classmate had wrecked... motor was fine, frame was toast. I searched for months and the local bike shop came up with a KH-500 with a grenaded motor. They said it would work, but would take some fiddling. It took a great bit of fiddling. But the result was wicked fast and handled well as KHs go. When it came up on the pipe it wanted to squirt out from under you. I just can't imagine what an extra hole and another 250cc do the the acceleration... One might need velcro on their ass and seat.

Hi Alan, a lifetime ago I grafted two RD400 bottom ends together keeping the right hand engine complete with an extended driven shaft to get the engine sprocket to line up with the rear one and used two pairs of 350LC power valve top ends jacked up to match the stroke so 800cc power valve 😁 that went into an XS650 frame and tarted up the look like Mr Roberts yam the plew the Harley's away on the dirt tracks. God knows where it is or if it is still in one piece. Man caves are such wonderful places and I love cake as well 😂. Ian.

As an engineering teacher I am very impressed with the innovative techniques and attention to detail in these modifications. I enjoy them very much. The bad news is that I owned an original 1972 H2 Blue Meanie as they were nicknamed. They earned their reputation as one one the most dangerous motorcycles ever made. They did one thing very well and that was go fast in a straight line and that was it. They accelerated so fast, the back wheel quickly ran under the front causing an almost uncontrollable wheelie. They had poor stopping power and a weak frame that flexed under hard cornering. I can't imagine what this thing would be like with another 50 HP.

I had an S3 400 in the 80s. I love the way triple & now quad 2 strokes sound. Keep on building those crazy engines. It takes a while to get through your videos but the soothing way you walk us through your builds encourages patients. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

The S3 400 was the best of the Kawasaki triples as far as being an actual motorcycle that you can use as regular transportation. They handle the best and overall are just the best designed triple Kawasaki made. And they're still quick bikes.

I enjoy this immensely. The 4-cylinder 2-stroke has beautiful proportions, amazing sound, and the performance to match. What a treat in aesthetics!!!

The bit I love every time is about cutting the crank-case in half with the trusty hacksaw. I can only imagine the mechanical carnage that would ensue if I tried that!

What a bike! Sounds SO sweet, how many of us watching are grinning ear-to-ear? I know I am. It goes without saying your engineering and spannering skills are second to none, but I noticed there your video editing is bloody brilliant, attention to detail shining through :)

His video work IS brilliant. Best mechanical shots on the web, hands down. And his riding shots are just as good, as well as the cooking and wildlife stuff. Perfect.

Fabulous! I used to own and love an S1 250 as a spotty teenager in the late 70s - and I'm now so nostalgic for that triple ownership experience. Your H2-and-a-bit is a true dream machine. A++ - thank you.

You're a genius Allen, it's always interesting watching you maintain and adapt these fantastic classics. Your calm and coherent demeanour and eye for detail, makes for quality workmanship, and you always make time for a cake or two and include animals in your videos. My favourite Motorcycles are the Japanese ones from about 1969 to 1983. It's the classics I enjoy seeing the most. There are so many great 2-Stroke & 4-stroke motorcycles from that era and if I was to pick a favourite it would be a 1975 Honda CB750F Super Sport in Candy Sapphire Blue or Sunburst Orange. It might have been called Sunrise Orange but thanks for keeping some of those fantastic bikes alive and in great working order. All the best Allen.

Makes me miss my 1972 H2...Such a great sound, and that 4th cylinder just makes it better. I'd ask what you charge for these conversions, but I'm afraid I could afford it! LOL!

These are the best motorcycling videos on KZbin, how to build,maintain and ride them. Great camera shots, hedgehogs and the birds. Who doesn't like listening to the birds and a spot of baking with Tracey baking cupcakes. Just perfect .
