It’s good to see you back Jim, and offering sage advice that won’t see people injured by scalding themselves. Always a pleasure to watch someone who knows what they’re doing. Oh yeah, I think that called a parting line 👍

[@sidsnot9999]

Hey Andy, are you trawling through all my subscriptions? lol

[@memybikeni9931]

I think you’re the only actual bike mechanic on you tube. Plenty of us morons with spanners 🤣 good to see you posting again. Thanks, Rich

[@TumzDK]

One of them is even mentioned is this video 😊

[@philthejet]

It's great to show everybody how much we have to struggle to get things done and how, there are always time consuming things we have to deal with such as broken bolts. Missed your vids buddy.

[@tommoso55]

Hello stranger... Love it when you work on Suzuki's as I'm a lifelong Suzuki fanboy... I'm thinking of renewing my patronage as I like what you have planned for 2021.👍👍👍

[@ches7er90]

If you don’t drop some bad language while working on a vehicle your not doing it right haha good to have you back posting

[@TheDervMan]

Great to have Captain Waffle back ;-)

[@SuperbikeSurgeryTV]

Haha, maybe I should put it on a T-shirt 👕

[@TheDervMan]

@@SuperbikeSurgeryTV Then on the back "Paralysis by analysis" ;-)

[@SuperbikeSurgeryTV]

@figgoagogo not one particular place, most genuine parts come from www.fowlersparts.co.uk/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAi8KfBhCuARIsADp-A54rzcIQ0AfQzRlxlsoTvH6K0aamjC23uKdY8lxpxdPI-oQUy1joz9YaAkjdEALw_wcB

[@redlinefunzone3514]

Great to see you back again Jim,we’ve missed you and the frustration lol

[@steveclark..]

Good to see you back posting, the tip about using a vehicles own engine heat is a good one, I've done that myself in the past, sometimes a day before I were due to start the work, just to make sure that exhaust nuts would turn a bit. That bike does look like a bit of a pig to work on,.....another reason why I prefer vehicles from the 80's now. Lol

[@noracalzogna946]

happy to see another upload from you, waffle and all! :)

[@anthonyoriordan5967]

Always great watching your videos, professional and instructional perfect viewing tonight👍

[@dannysparke5143]

Good to see you back in action and as always the trusted apprentice is never far behind

[@stephenmcqueen4029]

Thanks, looking forward to part 2. That’s the strangest hammer I’ve seen for a while

[@paulconnaughton6498]

Good to see you back

[@ikkieman]

Megan is such a cute kid. And honestly, you're quite hard on your self. You're a great guy, excellent mechanic and anything that the camera buggers up is honestly small stuff.

[@michaelrobins4073]

Can’t believe they have the same actuation rod set up that they had on a Suzuki GSX250 c1981 ,on the later model they did a crankcase mod so you could change the oil seal without splitting the engine !

[@H-M-78]

Pros also swear. This is the proof. Has a gen 1 since 2007, has removed the cylinder and the clutch during the turbo conversion but never separated the crankcase. Good tip, had no idea about that seal and how it's supported.

[@TheWanderingGeezer]

Best wrenching vids on the interweb.

[@squigles_uk]

Nice to see you back 👍

[@kris4362]

Jim good to have you back. Excellent explanation as usual mate, thanks for sharing this with us. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 😎

[@motorcycle_workshop]

I know others have mentioned it, but the ‘DELBOY’ overlay text is absolute gold! Nice one Jim, good work. Also, why is your stock of timber so clean? Mine are all filthy!

[@volvogt21]

Awesome to hear your dulcet tones again. Yes what a crap year. I enjoyed your rambling.

[@SeanagnewA7X]

Bought a gsxr 600 k3 a year and a half ago. Got it delivered to Scotland from England. Started going over the bike and fixing things that I wasnt happy with. Removed the sprocket cover to a expected glorious mess. Upon cleaning up I then realised oil was leaking past the clutch push rod seal. I decided to do it the cowboy way and grind the lip off and pull the seal and push in a new one. its still holding up.I do like to do things the proper way but the hassle involved to put in a new £6 seal was to much for me ha.

[@simonrawle7885]

just been getting an induction heater. mint for exhaust studs

[@sthildas4857]

Nice to see you Jim, busy time. "Bye bye everybody"...lol 🏍️

[@pauljohnson4868]

[@mranthonye]

Welcome back my friend. Nce video to watch on this snowy evening in Bacup, Lancashire. Stay safe

[@nealebradford6417]

all clear in accy ,bet its cold over in those hills this week.

[@losttheplot1748]

Good to see you back.. . Like the idea of private group. I'd offer to edit the footage of the cb500 but my pc struggles to handle 1080p files and overheats... 😂

[@corvair140]

Sorry, but I'm going to have to correct you on this one. I watched another 'Professional' change their Hayabusa coolant a couple of months back and he said you should drain the coolant boiling hot. I do all my coolant changes this way now. My wife now wonders why our first aid box is always empty now....................... Hmmm. Glad to see you making Vids again.

[@SuperbikeSurgeryTV]

Just spat my tea out 🤣🤣🤣

[@parmicrothrix1831]

Amazing channel

[@zappsacct3617]

You're always worth the wait waffle on

[@sthildas4857]

[@stevep1530]

Happy to see you back sharing good info, you do waffle but I love it makes me laugh.

[@zzzpip]

Being a gen 1 busa owner. this is music to my ears. thanks for sharing.

[@K-so8gx]

can never grumpy with a waffle

[@teamppracing284]

Best thing on KZbin.

[@geraldfitzgibbon7428]

Waay jims back

[@nuppy.9117]

great vid, I was thinking I would have remover the clutch push rod, blocked the hole with something so I could run the engine before do the front pipe bolts..... then they fell out!! so it looks like I would have been wasting my time😒

[@goodmood4652]

I am also very scared of L bolts before opening it,i gets nervous.

[@-DC-]

Srad's and early K series bike's similar design they didn't change it till around 2005 if memory serves me right 🤔.

[@buncobooth]

Did you remember to remove the spark pluggies ?

[@Kirakat]

I've done the seal in a way less professional Very much rigged way. It worked for me, But could very well not work for anyone else. Using a Drimmel with a carbide "Porting" bit. and just grind the Least possible amount of the engine case away until the seal can be pulled out and pressed in nicely. Then used some permatex to make sure it sealed from being pushed out. Yeah It's ghetto, And a horrible idea. But it was a whole lot easier than dropping the engine. Again, This is a Horrible idea, Don't do it. But it does "work", Just if it doesn't, You'll be buying a engine case lol.

[@James_Sovereign]

Less time stamps, more waffle please.

[@allanweseman5433]

I know this is a '99 bike, but everything seems quite corroded. In winter do they use salt on the roads in the UK? or maybe this guy washes his bike a lot

[@allanweseman5433]

One thing I would like to see you try with frozen bolts is to fasten a welder to the bolt head and give it a charge long enough to heat it. I saw this done to thaw frozen pipes on the wall of the Volkswagen dealer I used to work for in the 70's in Niagara Falls NY. I used to do this on the headlight trim retaining screw on Karmann Ghias to get at the headlight adjusters with a car battery (yes, I know the battery could explode with the dead short)

[@kennethszpindor1723]

Good to see you back and waffling and your potty mouth we all missed it and your daughter was the star of the vid lol

[@chriscookie68]

Love the swearing, all ways comes in handy 👌

[@goodmood4652]

Fun part is the baby....hes cute.

[@vphathom]

all Suzuki's have this just split the case's and replace the seal , i would also replace the crank bearing 's while you are there just $100.00 more and maybe the shift forks to

[@SuperbikeSurgeryTV]

You'd never replace shell bearings on an engine that's running perfectly. Complete waist of money. Selector forks only fail when there's a issue with the dogs so that would also be pointless.

[@TumzDK]

15:30 😂😂😂😂

[@Francois_Dupont]

i look at this and think "wtf Honda, shit design!?" then i remembered Hayabusa is from Suzuki... HJahahahahah

[@kevinansell9341]

What Temp do you run your Ultrasonic at Jim ?

[@SuperbikeSurgeryTV]

Really depends on what I'm cleaning, hot as it'll go for engine bits (80) carbs and sensitive bits about 50.

[@sabs1970]

That very bad suzuki design 'clutch push rod seal is a total pain in the ass ! all that work & time for the cost of a £10 Seal most suzuki use this shit ! Seal set up

[@reimop9595]

@19:56 starts the real bike talk :)

[@who-gives-a-toss_Bear]

Kids are just brilliant make life full of fun. 25:42 You are so right but (as we say in Australia) you never have the right fukin bits. As an aside I'm sure you were an Ozzie, going by your speech pattern.

[@taswr]

Will this be another one of your “part 1”.... then never do a “part 2”.........??

[@danparsonage3884]

What a load of waffle!

[@stephenwilson3479]

I never liked the Hayabusa,dislike them even more now.

[@westonjones8838]

That girl is Bri'ish

[@DavidKing-gi5fv]

Good to see you back
