Very nice to see the care being shown to this classic beauty. I, too, just put in a set of rear brake pads. I had previously bought the pads last year in anticipation, then of course couldn't find them no matter where I looked, when the time came to change them. I knew 100%, and that's exactly how it worked, as soon as I re-purchased and installed another new set, I found the first pair of pads within 5 minutes. Sigh. 😑 🤣

Not criticism, but an idea only. I would have replaced the seals in the caliper. After 70,000 miles they maybe working OK, but for how long given the new pressures involved with the new parts ? Lovely job either way. Good old sprocket and chain set, have had many of those in my time :) Further to my Blackbird 55W HID set blinking when on battery only, the main beam causes the dip to flash as does the flash switch. The guy from my dealer reckons its the current, even from a fully charged battery is not enough oomph, they work OK with the engine running. Just though I'd pass that on. Of course now, with hindsight (such a wonderful thing) I could have run two batteries in paralel to see if they would work on battery only. Schtump !

I must have an Eagle eye, as I noticed the chain adjustment right away when you were taking off the rear wheel. I first thought, Where's the chain and sprockets? Then realized, this is Delboy's Garage, it has to be in the next video :) I also noticed that a lot of the way you do things, I have been doing before I caught your channel. Like the axle and spacer trick. This can be real important on some bikes as the axle and spacers help align the discs to the calipers. Had a friend who needed help with this issue when he had the spacers in the wrong locations, and believe it or not, the wrong axle! He has 2 of the same bike, albeit, different years and the axles are slightly different lengths due to different size forks and triple clamp spacing. When he was swapping the front wheel over, he grabbed wrong axle. Helped him suss it out and taught him the same trick you mentioned. Just layout everything in order on the ground and/or put it back on the bike, depending on the task at hand.

I' don't tend to torque the banjo bolts these days just check for leaks. 23nm isn't a lot . You didn't say what torque you personally used for rear sprocket nuts ? I had an issue years ago on my 1400 (had since 2007 now ) I went by suzuki specs and rounded a thread (102nm) ....ended up going with 60nm and loctite . Not budged since . ....plus on torquing up engine bolts recently the top 155mm bolt /nut rounded on the threads..couldn't remove it either . Drilled it out awaiting new bolt . Haynes suggested from tech department to go with 55nm and loctite. Its an m14 wheelie as the lower bolt is m16 (head) ......don't go to much into their torque specs ..I have the manual but I'm wary these days . Nice work. I came to nose lol
@Moonfleet41 Жыл бұрын
There are no sprocket nuts in this video mate, not sure what you mean... do you mean the disc bolts and it is critical to torque them up so they're even and hold the disc in true alignment... something I'm sure you're aware of, or perhaps not if you've stripped a few bolts, is to reduce the torque setting if it's a wet thread... some way when using wet threadlock, reduce the torque setting by as much as 25%... so with that in mind, if your bolt is oily, just from an oily dirty job, it should be considered a wet thread and reduced accordingly... it's only bone dry threads and new fasteners that can withstand the full force of the factory torque setting because that's what the threads are like when first installed at the factory, bone dry and new... it's just good mechanical practice to understand that not all specifications are rigid when the situation you're working with is variable.

Sadly I can't help with that buddy, I bought a huge job lot direct from the Bell dealership in Texas and it came with free shipping, so worked out cost effective... but I had to buy over 30L of various oils for that as stock... sadly it's always expensive when buying single litres of anything. Demon Tweeks is usually the most competitive and yes, Amsoil is pricey!

Top quality parts, wrenching and videography. Trademarks of Delboy's Garage. I spied that pyrex measuring pitcher and had to smile. I have the exact same one in my garage and love that it is easy to clean and stands up to every chemical I throw at it. Every time I use it with oily schmoo on my mitts I'm sure this is the day it hits the floor. So far it has defied the odds. 😁 Blessings and thank you, Del and Penny. ❤👍👍
