I love watching these bike rebuild series, always very informative but also satisfies the cheap bastard inside of me :P can't wait to see the Fireblade in full dress when it's done!!

[@truekili9215]

every week these episodes get better and better absolutely love watching this fireblade rebuild. it’s giving me the same laughs and enjoyment like classic top gear episodes.

[@mandrakejake]

Just a bit of advice from experience; don't ever tighen a fastener with an impact gun. Always torque by hand feel or torque wrench.

[@RadSalacan]

This is definitely an "Ask me how I know." Kind of thing haha.

[@Simon-bu4kc]

doesn't seem to be a lot of experience then...

[@wobblysauce]

Not all impacts are the same, some have settings some have variable triggers.

[@__Max-oe6zm]

It's good general advice but if you know what your doing and use the correct impact driver with the correct settings it's fine. If you're not sure then yeah maybe just don't try it. Just a bit of advice from over 30 years working on bikes and cars.

[@wobblysauce]

@@__Max-oe6zm Just like one with multiple power settings, from light a snug run up a thread, repeatable known toque measurements, to UGGGGDUGGGA, slap that ain't going nowhere.

[@sidharthshivappa1359]

I swear the joy and happiness you get in these type of projects is million dollars worth ❤. Its simply an amazing feat to see something destroyed being bought yo life all by yourself !!! Really very very nice episode and i am enjoying it completely. Wish you good luck and best wishes🎉. Cant wait to see the rebuild ✅

[@avothfis]

Perfectly put. CC has amazing skills and passion.

[@Sejueee]

Yess, been waiting for this CBR rebuild

[@LazySatyr]

Mate i applaud the pace at which you are able to fix this bike and also make videos about the process, very impressive.

[@ballydup6423]

currently in the same process of rebuilding my crashed bike and watching your success has given me alot of motivation to continue going, great videos and good luck

[@paulroberts3639]

Iridium spark plus are essential for sports bikes. Mainly because getting to the plugs for maintenance is a huge job. With iridium plugs, you don’t have to remove and gap the plugs for years at a time.

[@nihonkokusai]

I also have them on my R1 saves time every 50000km once

[@theguycalledturbo]

18:10 you've just made yourself a Triumph Street Triple.

[@m8jorerror220]

Why not ask family in UK to order it there and get it cheaper, then get it sent to you?

[@mandrakejake]

Came to say the same. I'm in the UK and I'd do it for him

[@sidharthjeevakumar7851]

I was just wondering the same thing

[@bigboydunkin]

or even buy a PO box there, ship it to the PO box and get another delivery service to ship it to south africa

[@avothfis]

Taxes?

[@kushagraN]

​@@avothfisya customs can be an absolute bitch. But family to family still might work

[@ApriliaFamiglia]

U.S based. I'm not a parts guy or anything, but if it makes more sense for you financially, I'd be happy to try to help you get your hands on future parts 🤙

[@IMAA-299lives]

I am enjoying this build the most as I also have a 2018 CBR1000RR.

[@adityagoswami5712]

Bro uploads when I have Till Monday assignments left to do

[@Skibidipomnirizzleredge]

ong😭🙏🏻

[@equinox2909]

Please upload the next part this is very entertaining knowing that a very gorgeous bike will be restored can be very exciting and I also envy you that's one of my dream bikes.

[@secondsightvisuals]

Getting on the shift rubber goes much easier when you set it in hot water for a few minutes. Saves a TON of frustration.

[@a.m8530]

that headlight look so good

[@Gameplay-fh1iv]

From Ukraine to Africa, "it's life is just getting worse" 🤣

[@doubled8342]

Thank you for taking us on this journey. I love the rebuilds and can’t wait for each new one to be posted.

[@sofy1596]

yay! so happy for the crashed honda getting a new life!

[@jamaicatvtv4215]

ALL GOOD JOB Chaos Causes

[@glennp1690]

Loving your channel young man, cheers from an old bloke in Australia ;)

[@CGR89]

Coming along very nice, can't wait to see how it all turns out

[@DaMitch79]

Its satisfying watching the bike getting to its old glory again…great job

[@Test-of7de]

16:40 Tip, but the rubber peace in hot water for 20 seconds. It will be soft and will slip right on it 👌🏿

[@Farsightful]

Make it run ! Make it run ! Make it run !

[@gopro8497]

Really enjoying this series mate, I salute you taking on the project o7 Always enjoy your well shot, well edited and narrated videos. Good job, keep it up! Looking forward to the Honda finished, and out on a test drive :)

I was impatiently waiting for this update, I need the next

Such a great series, cant wait for next episode

love your videos. Good luck with the rebuild. greetings from the Azores

[@Whitewing_Tv]

This is the type of video i love seeing on my page whenever i get back home ,great work Chaos ,this is an amazing series

[@adityagoswami5712]

Just in time

Every time a new video drops its like Christmas again 😂❤⛄

Mate I enjoy this kind of videos too much!!!

[@alix6028]

dont forget to adjust the headlights! great to hear you're getting massive progress

[@Ken-yp1dg]

Cool, lots of work, but rewarding.

[@2StrokeWRLD]

Looking forward for the next video

[@iwanawithyou]

Nice project 12:47 the thread don't like to be painted :D I would masked that out with some tape. 16:40 Instead hammer, I suggest some kind a clamp (quick-Release Clamp, Clamp, etc.)

[@hendrikvanzyl2689]

14:44 😂😂😂 brilliant, know the feeling.

[@toush2692]

Love your rebuilding process. & explain on budget.. Its motivat me to rebuild my 2014 Ktm

[@connor-cw8ul]

Bikes looking good, love to see it mate

[@MrAl67]

I always take pictures of anything I am taking apart so I have a reference afterwards. If I am taking something apart that has different length screws or bolts, I grab a cardboard and draw a picture of it and stick the fasteners in the same spot on the cardboard.

[@skay3264]

I am really enjoying this 😎👍🏻

[@one-of-us9939]

Looks good my brother

[@devilsreject320]

The gear lever rubber. Put in some hot water/ coffee 🤤 2or3 minutes.

[@oleksiibilenkyi8857]

Watching you from Ukraine. Now this project is even more interesting for me 😅

[@motomaniac5163]

Man I cant wait to see this cutie rolling

[@tjridez6331]

quick tip: dont use glue to re-fix bits, use bicarb of soda and superglue, waaaay stronger and instant.

[@Maverickx1199]

Impressive work🔥

[@njeruk13]

Good I was almost starting a protest for the videos

[@sivanesanr.5141]

Waiting for part 5❤❤

[@MotoPappy]

Great series!! I’ve always wanted to take on a project of this magnitude.

[@jasondunn8313]

The cost of bike parts is frustrating. Great job

[@chrisdadigger1018]

Are you sure you didn’t have any help ? You’re a better man than me.

[@Gex121]

If you look at the state of the passenger foot pegs, they certainly helped prevent more damage. I fell with a KTM 690 and the passenger foot pegs prevented any side damage.

[@Ekocart1]

Amazing build so far 🎉

[@heldemel2035]

I love this series!

[@Kuba-iq7hx]

loving this series!

[@labellemike]

That was awesome Motodynamic!

[@sidharthjeevakumar7851]

I was just wondering that what happened to your 1000rr and you posted this video 🔥🔥🔥

[@Chrisgroot19]

Loving these videos as always!

[@krazed0451]

It doesn't matter if you forget where things go if you have a workshop manual... If you can't find one for free on the internet then it's worth spending a few dollars to have one on hand!

[@Carlisho]

I cannot put into words how much I love your bike rebuild videos.

[@shinyribs2178]

In all my years of messing with bikes, Honda parts are always very expensive compared to other brands. Anything I need from Honda is usually 2-3x the price of KTM or Yamaha parts. $2k for a subbie is mental, though. There's GOT to be something on eBay something.

[@joek81981]

I'd watch a video on how they straighten fork tubes, that sounds entertaining as hell to me, actually. That was the part i was worried about - the forks. Seems fine tho.

[@numidian5191]

As you were reassembling the cables and components, could you have cleaned everything so that it looks new again? I always look under the seat to see how well the bike has been maintained, and a bristling clean area is terrific.

[@gragaloth6237]

16:45 for putting rubber things onto-into metal things, use WD-40. WD-40 is a dissolved wax, so when you spray it on its nice and slippery, but once the solvent evaporates, the wax becomes more viscous and it wont come off as easy. it'll also allow you to take the part off/out easily too. for something permanent, golf club grip solvent is good, it turns from a lubricant into a glue

[@hexagonosaurus5848]

WD40 is mosly kerosene *without* wax. Its 2024 and you people are still missinformed on basic things.

[@sariyantoanto5211]

Very interesting bro I will wait until thé end of your work❤❤❤

[@jonnybaxter780]

You have installed the gear lever backwards 😂😂😂 16:34 it needs to be changed to where the toe peace is closer to the foot peg

[@chasinglightandtrails]

Awesome project.

[@KristianCordesAndersen]

How about ordering the parts directly from Japan? Where I live, parts are also wildly expensive and I've found that doing that is often way cheaper, even factoring in tariffs, tax and shipping. I only know of Impex Japan, who have a weird system for ordering and paying, but so far they've not let me down once, and I've saved thousands trading with them rather than going through the local Honda dealers 🙂

[@PastafrolaDM]

Here in my country a kawy camchain tensioner is 200 usd... in impex is 35 usd. I use them all the time, super recommended.

[@aleexszn]

in my opinion , doesnt matter if u spend above budget cause ur creating a bike at ur 100% liking and if u bougth a used one u prob added more money on top to make it to ur liking

[@shamaii170]

Perfect timing

[@dasauto44]

Brave man

[@victorgonza4528]

You should be cleaning parts as they go back in , clean and put back .

[@Lindokuhle888]

been waiting 😤

[@midlifeduck7040]

You could use a VPN have it sent to your family and have them ship it to you. The difference should make it worth it

[@FiZzeR91]

Not sure if it's a good idea to mix tapered roller and ball bearing in the steering stem. Ball bearings needs some preload, the tapered ones nearly to zero preload.

[@stasysad.764]

I agree with You, bearings shouldn’t be mixed… Specially in this case, as You said, different types of bearings requires different type of preload and tension force (N•m per headstock nut); Also in Honda repair manual shows only ball bearings and mostly in all models;

[@903lew]

My man charges a subframe in a day. I need half a day for some heated grips and a centre stand.

[@saadpatel3490]

Fun video

[@Aggi3_]

you forgot option 4: POST FORWARDING ADRESSES. You pay a specialized company in whatever country that you want to buy a part to receive a adress in that country. Then you order your part and make a delivery to this new adress and afterwards they ship it to anywhere in the world that you want.

[@devillux6903]

surprise there is no Loctite involved

[@shinyribs2178]

That R&R cover....so, Honda is still in the business of roasting R&R's? 😅

[@gaclass]

Heads up, look into what your area requires for the inspection, in my area my bike almost failed because i didn't bother with passenger foot pegs

[@raymondvanwyk8615]

wish you all the luck, just had the time of my life replacing and bleeding brakes, still spongy but allot better now after hours on end bleeding and pumping, tempted to just drive 2 hours to nearest honda dealership in east rand so they can sort that out while doing my cams

[@sganzerlag]

Often times the routing of the brake hoses means an air bubble gets trapped in them and cannot be bled out. Pay attention to what the brake lines are doing and try to imagine if they are routed in such a way as to trap a bubble of air that cannot be bled out. If this is the case, unbolt the master cylinder from the handle bar and straighten the brake line up so the air bubble can travel up to the master cylinder. At which point simply undo the reservoir top and jiggle the brake lever slowly to allow the air bubble to exit up via master cylinder and reservoir.

[@raymondvanwyk8615]

@@sganzerlag thanks for the tip, dont have any flex tbh allot of hard lines and the short bit of rubber hose only bends so much due to other hoses joining left and right caliper together. its a weird braking system apparently i have been told. abs makes it hard enough to bleed 😂

[@_PRAMIK]

16:40 i think you installed it incorrectly.

[@kowalski2334]

Yup, its on backwards

[@DoRC]

Man if I had known you were struggling with that I would have offered to buy the used one that's on eBay for 400 bucks here in the US and send it to you.

[@cjjorge6636]

for real i said 800$ tops for that hear

[@leoespa244]

Ohh man!!!

[@brentbauer8258]

Doing a great job….

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Remains to be seen if this bike still has a 'box full of neutrals'.

[@originalmianos]

I'd use stainless steel t-bolt clamps instead of chinesium stainless worm drive clamps if you don't want to use single use clamps. I hate it the way the chinesium auto clamps rust out so quickly.

[@BatFastard01]

Ball type races on the bottom and taper on the top off the steering tube?

[@nolansmith1000]

Love your videos, great job. Would you mind including SA pricing with the USD?

[@static369]

Nice!

[@Onereelrider]

Maybe it was edited out, but you'll need 4 exhaust gaskets for the headers or else you'll get an exhaust leak.

[@LouisPhilippeLebouthillier]

Bike build is great and entertaining, but it's a money pit that is very deep

[@dean8367]

You forgot to grease the steering stem bearings.

[@viffer8honda319]

yeeeaaaah that headlight is off a stolen bike bro.....

[@stasysad.764]

Greetings! Nice job ;) however I’ve noticed in steering assebly You use roller bearing at the top and ball bearing at the bottom - I’m pretty sure You shouldn’t do like this… both top and bottom should be ball bearings as per Honda manual…

[@HarrowedDreams]

Should have 3d printed the tools and spend 2 dollars on tools... not 100 lol (happy to help with this as well LOL, just saying. I 3d printed many suspension "specialty" tools, and it works)

[@wouterstein4387]

Why not flipping the blocks where the stands stand on so u have the whole area standing on the block.
