Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa, Small Seal, Big Problem. An expensive mistake! (Part 1)

[@ANDY5]

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

[@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.

[@noracalzogna946]

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

[@redlinefunzone3514]

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

[@dannysparke5143]

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

[@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.👍👍👍

[@peterferryman4905]

Hats off to the fastest motorcycle mechanic in the world 😂🤣🤣😂 Nice to see how calm you are about your daughters antics, maybe she will carry your torch when she grows up😊😊😊 😊 😊😊 😊 30:37 30:37

[@anthonyoriordan5967]

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

[@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 😊

[@stephenmcqueen4029]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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" ;-)

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

Welcome back!!

[@parmicrothrix1831]

Amazing channel

[@sthildas4857]

Great work quality advice as ever..

[@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.

[@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!

[@jackjones8552]

yes!! you're back!!!!

[@Noggin60]

welcome back jim pleasure to watch a craftsman at work

[@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 🤣🤣🤣

[@mranthonye]

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

[@nealebradford6417]

[@sthildas4857]

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

[@zzzpip]

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

[@stevep1530]

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

[@simonrawle7885]

just been getting an induction heater. mint for exhaust studs

[@teamppracing284]

Best thing on KZbin.

[@firestorm755]

Making it look easy!

[@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 !

[@zappsacct3617]

You're always worth the wait waffle on

[@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... 😂

[@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😒

[@cecilwilson5442]

Bloody hell that sounds like a right bollox for one seal ,,but live and learn,,☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ from northern Ireland

[@-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 ?

[@goodmood4652]

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

[@K-so8gx]

can never grumpy with a waffle

[@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.

[@geraldfitzgibbon7428]

Waay jims back

[@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)

[@chriscookie68]

Love the swearing, all ways comes in handy 👌

[@Francois_Dupont]

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

[@James_Sovereign]

Less time stamps, more waffle please.

[@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.

[@TumzDK]

15:30 😂😂😂😂

[@reimop9595]

@19:56 starts the real bike talk :)

[@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

[@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.

[@goodmood4652]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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]
