REBUILDING a WRECKED HONDA CBR 600RR (Start-Finish Timelapse)

[@DavidM2002]

Kudos to you for remembering exactly where everything goes when you reassemble the bike. When I see bikes like this, it makes me think that some people buy them just so they can stick mostly useless junk on them like those LED's. The only smart addition was the sliders. Imaging if they had spent that time, money, and effort learning to just ride the thing. Great video.

[@RKMotorsports]

I've seen so many questionable mods on the bikes I have rebuilt lol

[@HoustonPB32]

It’s called style and personality. Something people who only ride cruisers wouldn’t understand lmao

[@DavidM2002]

@@HoustonPB32 It's mostly junk. And if you were referring to my bike it's an FJR; definitely not a cruiser. Now replaced by a CBR1000RR.

I’ve seen a lot of Motorcycle Restoration Channels….But I gotta tell you this was my first viewing of your content and I gotta say Sir!!! Your attention to detail your work ethic and methodical look over of all that was wrong was amazing!!! You could work on my motorcycle anytime and I’d be 100% confident you would do it right!!! I’ve seen other creators that just do the bare minimum to restore these beautiful machines but what you do is top notch ☝🏻and I couldn’t subscribe fast enough after completing this video, Awesome 👏🏻

[@RKMotorsports]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the content!

Best re-build I've seen in a while, love this channel. Best of luck to Rob and his shop in the new year!!

Man, you inspire me. I'm a small time bike flipper, all mine I get for free from Friends/people I help out. One day I'll be rebuilding fuel injected bikes too. You're a legend man

Fuel injected bikes are what I mainly deal with now, much easier

Finally a guy who actually know how to use a torque wrench !

[@dwk5234]

I watched each of the sequential steps, and enjoyed them so much that I watched all of the re-cap as well. Beautiful work, Rob, you always do things “right” and produce a terrific build…I’d buy (and ride) any bike you rebuilt without hesitation! Thanks.

[@RKMotorsports]

Thanks Brother! Hope you enjoyed the test ride and exhaust clips at the end of this one!

[@Mike_Jones68]

After you cleaned up the built up chassis and then you started spraying "something" all over it...i was like "oh man, is he using SC1? Thats my secret!". And then I read thru the vid description, sure enough saw that sc1 link. Thats sweet man! Love how you know that seemingly unknown product. I use it on EVERYTHING that needs slip and shine. Tip, if you mountain buke, sc1 on the fork and shock stantions keeps them running so smooth. My friends always wonder why my stuff is so clean, and i wont tell them hahaha!

[@RKMotorsports]

A buddy of mine showed me SC1 a couple years ago and I've been using it ever since, such a great spray!

[@siayx_5128]

this was so satisfying to watch, well done dude

[@danlford]

Mesmerizing. I was almost late to work once I started watching I didn't want to stop. Awesome rebuild and it turned out beautiful. Kinda made the cbr grow on me. I never was a fan of those headlights but they look sweet with that colorway.

[@SteveW-i4d]

Own almost the identical bike. Less the damage and gummy grips. Wish I had the confidence to tackle the more in depth stuff. Santa just dropped off a ton of goodies for my baby. Hate that I feel better about paying someone to install everything. Cheers boys!

Love the videos. Miss doing the same thing myself. Nice to see someone actually spending the time and not taking short cuts. You got a new subscriber 🍻

[@RKMotorsports]

Appreciate the support, thank you!

[@hellraiserrec19]

Its amazing how even a good cleaning on certain parts can make it look new again

[@williamzeller294]

Really enjoyed the rebuild video. In my semi-retirement I've taken to do a few rehabs sort of like I used to do on old houses in my past career. I'm not a professional mechanic but love shop manuals and love reading them. I'm fortunate to have assembled a good set of equipment but I have to say the used motorcycle lift the Missus found on Craigslist was a turning point. Getting down on the floor to do even routine stuff gets harder and harder, especially when you get north of 70. In love with that thing. I'm glad to see Auctmarts is a good supplier of fairing kits. They came highly recommended by the parts manager at the Kawasaki dealer we visit. I would be very curious to see the financials on the project, if you are okay with disclosing them (and could understand if you'd prefer not to).

[@RKMotorsports]

Thanks for the feedback William! A few people inquired about the project cost for this one, I might have to reveal that after the bike sells!

[@ththangboi2374]

My daughter loves the bike that you are rebuilding, and she asked to get your help to rebuilding our bike.. Love from India..

[@steezy-geezy4387]

Yo I love your videos but in something like this I think most of us would agree that more mellow and quieter background music or just no music and you talking would be great honestly felt like the music was too overwhelming for this chill of a vid

[@lucianoromero777]

Damn man you scored on that one, only cosmetic and some wiring damage, and some easy fix stuff, I’m glad the tank is actually under a plastic tank fairing cover on those bikes.

[@JCHAN-qd3rz]

Very nice restoration. Never knew the complexity under the shrouds. My OCD is triggered by not cleaning some of the components prior to reinstalling.

[@rizkyzakaria92]

I really like the moment where you open the plastic from the headlight glass like a child being bought a new toy.. nice bigbike..

Dude literally my favorite CBR 600RR so watching this built was so satifying if you get a chance to build a 600 post electronic features like around 2020 and up that would be very interesting to see, im assuming much harder with the electronics so i dont know if its even possible as a DIY build.

I had a 2013 600RR HRC. I jet a friend of mine ride it back in Nov 2022. It was drizzling rain so I told him to take it easy. Apparently he thought easy meant trying to pass a car in a curve.. 4 broken ribs and a punctured lung + one beyond totaled CBR 600RR HRC. He's fine now, fully recovered and he now owns a 2007 GSXR. And i still miss my HRC.. Video and photos do not do those bikes justice.

[@blackbirdxx4613]

How long did this take and at what costs

[@sendit2873]

never torque a front sprocket without the chain and trans in neutral if the chain is not on then put it on and wheel and use the rear wheel to hold tension if your pushing against the trasmission only in gear you can twist parts in the trans like gears shift forks DON'T DO THAT I put a piece of pipe through the rear wheel wrap in a towel or rags so it does not scratch wheel don't use grip glue neither pour alcohol in them push on real easy at that let dry if removing use compress. and blow air under them pull right off will just make it easier on you nice job great video

[@UndercoverPirate69]

LMAO those RGB hahahaa I'm a heavy engine rider myself and always a bit puzzled about so much noise and RPM for very moderate acceleration on 600CC racers. The entire bike is super buff in design but it has a lawnmower engine. Looks amazing though

[@zombe3498]

9:25 instead of using some product that costs way to much just use a heat gun. Apply heat for like 5-10 seconds and it'll go back right to the original. (On black plastic trim pieces)

[@peterferryman4905]

Great job restoring that epic bike 👍👏

[@2wheelliving]

You make this look easy, great job on the rebuild!

[@supermonkiey]

Thanks for using some prime timelapse music, I was definitely grooving when those RGBs came on lol

[@MOEMUGGY]

I bought a wrecked bike once in this condition. It didn't look bad. It even rode straight. So I fixed all the cosmetics, and rode it around for weeks without issue... until that one day I hit the brakes and the whole front end fell off. It nearly killed me. After closer inspection, I was able to determine the frame was cracked in two, with just a little bit holding it together. Only obvious from the crack corroded on one side, and fresh crack on the other. Long story short. I'd never trust a wrecked frame again unless it was X-rayed or Magna fluxed.

[@RKMotorsports]

Sorry that happened to you! Definitely always need to inspect these bikes closely when rebuilding after an accident!

[@xtina818]

Hope u unbolted the triple clamps and gave the suspension a bounce. Don't know if the front got twisted or bound up from the accident

[@i3lack1ce17]

CBR600RR is one of my favorite bikes that I wanted, but the price for the new model and maintenance for the old model makes it impossible for me to get it.

[@grudzien9784]

oh BTW you make this look so easy! real professional. I did a very similar build on an 06 cbr600rr. Just didn't change the swing arm. Awesome videos brother

[@littlewingpsc27]

Maybe it is just me but are those front forks bent? They look like they are at various points in the video.

[@ashernaeem7722]

[@Lordbaccus]

I want to say: I watch your builds out of fascination! I do not ride these type of bikes but admire your attention to detail! I do a similar thing when I resotre old guitars! have a look if your bored one day! P.S. Really good work

[@rafaelvivas6014]

Melhor vídeo q já assistir de recuperação de motos ...parabéns

[@Jim-nm1en]

Hi Rob, happy new year to you. I am truly amazed at how you transform these crashed bikes into something that looks as good as new. One small tip I would like to pass on concerns the battery posts. I have found several times over the years that when you connect things like heated grips and usb or phone charging sockets to the battery that sometimes the terminal bolts don't quite reach those square nuts. What I do is place a piece of high density foam rubber under the nuts which pushes them up into the top of the terminals. Simple idea which works.

[@RKMotorsports]

Thank you! I have ran into that issue before, and if I cant get a longer battery terminal bolt, i'll do just that and take foam to push up the terminal nut, great tip!

[@HumourusLAV]

I am new to this bike repairing video watching so I might be missing some context, but why do you need to disassemble the whole bike when there is some front end damage and swing arm damage?

[@Willy_Milano]

What's a reasonable budget to repair a motorcycle like this one? How do you decide if it's worth the effort?

[@justinchase1697]

So I see the front flaring support is for years 07 to 23. So can I put a 2013 on my 2007 to change the front of my bike?

[@LincolnSixAlpha]

[@ChrisHJ88]

Great bike and amazing build. I currently have a 2015 cbr1000rr. I was wondering where do you get the 2 oem Honda badges for the gas tank? Thank you

[@RKMotorsports]

Thanks Christian! And if you're looking for the OEM tank badges, look on partzilla, that's where I get most of my OEM parts for the bikes I rebuild

[@austinstockton9221]

Guess it's because I don't know much about bikes but it seems like it would be better to just buy a non wrecked bike, sure those parts are costly and the bike was probably cheap but what of the frame is bent or anything is there a way to get it straight again or is it just junk after that point

I want to know is it worth it or better off to buy rideable used and just update it some. forks and wheels are expensive as hell. i can see these things costing more than a running rideable bike used.

Great job, the bike looks great

[@dustclouds]

I see you applied some grease on front sprocket/output shaft. Recently I changed my 2017 CBR1000RR chain and sprockets and I left mine dry, as service manual doesn't mention anything. Now I wonder if I did screw things up! What kind of grease did you use? Molybdenum disulfide based? And props on another amazing restoration!

[@RKMotorsports]

Thank you, you'll be fine if you didn't put any grease on it. I believe I read to do that in a service manual for one of these bikes. I don't think its 100% critical if you do or don't.

[@dustclouds]

@@RKMotorsports Thanks :) Also, how did you managed to torque down the bolt on front sprocket without chain on it?
