Pre-Season Service & Ride - BSA Rocket Gold Star Part 2/2

[@geneahart5607]

I don't know that you'll see this Dave, but , I love watching you work. And your last comment on this video sums it all up, " get it out on the road and ride it " you are the last of a dying breed, old British bikes are like living works of art.

[@rodintoulouse3054]

It is always impressive to see how much you know and how generous you are with your experience. However I must admit I feel more at ease getting my hands dirty with my Chinese one cylinder than ever attempting to even set the chain slack on a British classic. They look like a piece of art always ready to break down in a sea of unnecessary complexity. 😊

[@ludwigeilers429]

22:03min of my life well spent. Thanks for another great post.

[@somcretedrivewaysleicester5898]

Well explained Dave, and in a calmly manner. Good help for a novice like myself, thanks.

[@bakerrv]

Thanks for all the good tips on getting ready for the riding season. Don't fix what isn't broken, good advice. I love sound of the old Twins!

[@pikebobstar2033]

Looks and sounds awesome. Halcyon days. Who needs an up to date, state of the art traction control this, rider mode that when you can have something with soul. Top job and great presentation mate 👍

[@shingerz]

Brilliant video no others on KZbin doing video's like this great to watch 👍

[@mikemcallister757]

Again, thank you for sharing your vast knowledge with these beautiful classics! Always a pleasure to watch your videos.

[@Croseb2]

This is so helpful as a new vintage BSA owner. Thank you for such an informative video!

[@willywonka8730]

Here in the USA the cautions drive with their lights on Day & Nite. Love your detail discussion of the nuances of each bike. Had an A10. My daily (or should I say nightly) commuter. Wish you and the internet were around back then. One tool that got a lot of use was my impact screwdriver. The Lucas electrics were, as you know, abominably & frightening. Dimming the headlamp was like playing Russian Roulette. You never knew how long or if the lamp would relight after switching. Had the same problems with my MG TD Lucas electrics.

[@robwilde855]

For some years now in Europe - but not in Britain - you're compelled, legally, to keep the headlight on in daytime; most bikes now are made with no way of switching them off - you have to devise one.

[@Zenfield350]

I believe it’s been proven that having a bright single headlight make an approaching vehicle appear to be travelling mor slowly than it actually is

[@willywonka8730]

@@Zenfield350 Are dual headlamps more or less deceptive?

[@glaicogobbo4046]

Thank you very much. I didn't know the oscillating box with only one side command. Great B.S.A. project. I really enjoyed seeing it.

[@Sanjay-Tripathi]

outstanding. I love the way he explains and speaks.

[@mattheweasteal2291]

NIce one Dave ! - Well covered , a joy to watch listen and learn - and I will be rechecking my RGS too before seeing you very soon for a ride out - Many thanks to you and The Motorcycle Channel for this series and all the other content - much better than Netflix and TMC is probably the best thing currently available for owners of classic bikes

[@DavePB420]

Dave, that area you highlighted on the rocker box mating face which was the head dink, could that be fixed? I ask because in a situation with a gearbox which has a lot of butchering on the mating face. It might seal, but if not I wonder if it can be sorted?

[@51madmud]

Very informative and interesting always look forward to your videos keep them coming.

[@Jaysqualityparts]

This channel needs more publicity. To much great content, glad I stumbled onto you oh and those pushrods look like a pain in the as# compared to my harleys.

[@stanleydenning]

I agree.

[@Nzchimeran]

I agree, but KZbin and many others lock good content behind pay walls..... typical bean counters

[@michaellawrence5492]

Well explained, enjoyable to visit watch and listen to you perform your motions necessary for these suiting up these motion machines, Ha!

[@jumpfortyfour9965]

no wonder the british bikes went down the pan all the faffing with fitting the rocker cover , are you doing the honda 750 engine on your bench some time super show's thank you .

[@davidward8682]

Where do you get your supply of Castrol from

[@tvand8052]

As always, enjoyfulll to watch. Thanks for sharing.

[@mulliedog1]

Great video!

[@mikeymike3240]

Hi guys, I’d love to see you give her the beans, it doesn’t seem right for a bike like that just toddling along, it’s a bit like taking a thoroughbred out for a walk. Nice video.

[@peterparsons3297]

Many years ago i had a RGS replica, it had been a 500 Goldie till the engine let go, its then owner fitted a Super Rocket engine, it still had its original RRT2 gearbox. i owned it for about three months till a chap came to buy it, i told him its history but he insisted it was an original RGS and kept upping the price till i agreed to sell

[@georgestewart1325]

Great channel very informative with good camera shots..

[@raysbikes7652]

Hi Dave good to see a proper hands on video well done also no bloody music so can hear your comments well just one question do you need the comb when putting the rocker cover back on or can it be done without ? thanks Ray

[@michaelfirth1075]

Great videos,Dave.

[@mitchburk5112]

if you live somewhere where WellSeal is not available, 3 Bond aka Hondabond and Yamabond is a great substitute. Available at any Honda or Yamaha dealer.

[@Nzchimeran]

Excellent video as always.

[@robertadams4415]

Great as always 🙂

[@duncanspencer3106]

The spaghetti of electrics is daunting, perhaps a video on how, why's and therefore's would be interesting.

[@dank9296]

Great video and information as always! Thanks!!👍😊

[@Kevin-cy9cv]

[@bluesplayer59]

Splendid stuff !

[@bluesplayer59]

Great stuff Dave . Youve mentioned running with a bit of Castrol r .. ive ran with a Castor oil mix in the past but was told it can leave deposits on valves n whathavya . The smell is addictive but in your opinion would you say its safe . Thanks great show !!

[@gerrypowell2748]

Always interesting❤️

[@tvand8052]

What is that red Frame, yellow tank project in the back about?

[@mozezcen-valley7555]

[@stanleydenning]

This bike was made the same year I was born. Too bad I'm not in as good of shape. The bike is still sexy. 😉

[@mikeymike3240]

[@NicholasRumney]

Gold stars are, this is a rocket gold star; 650 twin

[@chriswood4461]

Those Land Rovers are badly in need of restoration.

Wellseal. A tube like that will run about $50!! Crazy. Many other products make dollar sense.
