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.

[@shingerz]

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

[@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 👍

[@ludwigeilers429]

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

[@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. 😊

[@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!

[@somcretedrivewaysleicester5898]

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

[@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.

[@mikemcallister757]

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

[@Sanjay-Tripathi]

outstanding. I love the way he explains and speaks.

[@Croseb2]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@mulliedog1]

Great video!

[@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

[@aumkar2]

Brilliant stuff.

[@tvand8052]

As always, enjoyfulll to watch. Thanks for sharing.

[@joephillips225]

Thanks!

[@michaelfirth1075]

Great videos,Dave.

[@brittweir8844]

Great video, thanks a lot.

[@TheClassicMotorcycleChannel]

Glad you liked it!

[@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

[@Nzchimeran]

Excellent video as always.

[@bluehazeboy]

Nice job Dave 👍

[@dank9296]

[@robertadams4415]

Great as always 🙂

[@michaellawrence5492]

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

[@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.

[@bluesplayer59]

Splendid stuff !

[@robertadams4415]

As always interesting thanks for the info

[@dorseyjack3206]

I used to hate doing the pushrods on my shooting star.

[@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?

[@gerrypowell2748]

Always interesting❤️

[@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

[@duncanspencer3106]

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

[@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 .

[@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.

[@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]

Grrrrrrrrrr 😖 I’m a bit older than you, sh1t, lol 😝

[@delstephens7441]

New sub

[@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 !!

[@davidward8682]

Where do you get your supply of Castrol from

[@mozezcen-valley7555]

I just bought one same kind same motor , does motor have choke?

[@johnhanna8035]

Busy busy boy then dave regards kev the rat

[@paulshelley4754]

Great bike but 61? Is this apre production model for testing

[@tvand8052]

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

[@christinecopus5967]

I thought bsa gold star was a 350 cc or 500 cc single.l had this bsa which is a 650 twin.

[@NicholasRumney]

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

[@chriswood4461]

Those Land Rovers are badly in need of restoration.

[@basemanbaseman4976]

Subcraibe

[@steved5518]

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

[@willywonka8730]
