BMW F650GS Restoration PROJECT- Time Lapse | Techn' Moto

[@ftby59mikeD]

I didn't realize how much you had invested in 'Freedom', sure makes me wish I had contacted you earlier! Hope you made money on the deal, but even if you didn't, it looks like you enjoyed the work anyways. You don't come across as somebody who spends much time idle handed.👍

[@TechnMoto]

lol just about broke even on the deal. Person seemed nice and really wanting to get a bike to ride again so I sold him the bike for a very good deal. I put much work into this project but it was well worth it and I got to enjoy the bike for a few months before passing it on. You sir are correct, I do not sit idle for very long. I am always on the go doing something. I am afraid age is starting to catch up to me but I will keep fighting it. 😀 I'm looking for my next project but it may take awhile cause it seems folks think their bikes are gold, lol. Mike keep looking, I'm sure you will find something. Take care and God bless brother

[@joaosalta]

That's a lesson i took too, some time ago. Either your a mechanic and you love to ride and repair or start project. Or you're a pure rider. And as a rider, you can't afford to put all that free time you want to ride on mechanic. The essential stuff of curse. But not it all😅 Hope the years will bring you more nice projects

[@TechnMoto]

Right now I’m restoring/blacking out a Harley ultra classic. If interested check out the playlist I made for that project. Any how thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. 👍🙏

[@meredithcole2862]

It's just so impressive to see a mechanical craftsman repairing, fixing, refurbishing, creating instead of the usual mechanic just replacing parts... 💗💗💗

[@TechnMoto]

Hey Meredith, thank you for the kind comment. May god bless you and yours.

[@eic1983]

Awesome! I'm from Spain. I have a F650GS (2000) since last December. I bought it while I was looking for my first bike ever. I fallen in love with the bike inmediately. I'm working for restore it but I don't have enough knowledge and experience with bikes. Your video gives me a lot of good ideas and inspiration. Thank you for sharing it. And sorry for my English 🤦‍♂️😅

[@TechnMoto]

So cool. These are good bikes. Glad I could be of help. My friend your English is great. Take care, god bless and have fun with the restoration.

[@vindeshe3564]

Hello Mate! Cudos on your bike. I bought a 650gs 2000 in a heavily used condition. Thinking about restoring it. Have you done any work in yours? If so, can we in touch to exchange information and ideas? I live in Milan, Italy.

[@thedumfuk8811]

Looks amazing! I think all the black paint makes this the best looking f650gs I have ever seen!

[@TechnMoto]

The bike looked better in person. I have since sold it and the new owner is happy with it. Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@bigk2080]

If I were the original owner I would want my bike back. Nice job Mike.

[@TechnMoto]

lol ya right

[@bigransho]

Wow I'm green with envy, very professional job

[@TechnMoto]

Thanks 🙏

[@NotaVolcano]

10/10 never would have thought to paint the wheels, engine, & swing arm like that. Looks great! Taking a few notes...

[@TechnMoto]

came out much nicer than I thought it would. This was my first time doing it like this.

[@NotaVolcano]

@@TechnMoto Got myself a 2003. Fixed it up over the past year. Ran into more then a few problems regarding the Fi system. Painted a few parts but painting the whole bike like that is so nice! Very bold. Makes it look sharp.

[@9Joel9]

I have a 650 gs Dakar 2003 that I bought in Minnesota in 2015 and rode it to Alaska , it was with 5000 miles now is about 24.000 , for sure it’s needs a very deep service , where are you at ?

[@TechnMoto]

Sorry, at this moment I am booked till mid next year or longer with stuff. No way I could take on more. Although thanks for the offer.

[@egonontheroad]

Thanks Kindly for the response Can you answer this question please? Where is located the frame number on a 650 gs 2003? Not the vin . Thanks Kindly

[@TechnMoto]

Google says- Where is chassis number on BMW f650gs? 650GS Engine The VIN is on the RHS behind the Steering Head. check the production details for the machine. The number is on the LHS down under the clutch cover.

[@Relatame]

Amazing restoration brother. I recently bought a F650GS 2001 and I’m trying to fix a few things. Do you know any website where I can buy the seals for the water pump for a good price? Thanks a lot, god bless

[@TechnMoto]

Sorry no. I would do a google search. I do know parts for these bikes are not cheap. Good luck

[@trailtracker5394]

Wow dude. I just bought one myself and I want to paint the engine and chassis black as well. Did you have to take the engine block out?

[@TechnMoto]

No. I did the engine with it in place. Just mask off everything that is not to be painted. Good luck. 👍

[@ashfavirdee7854]

Hi I have an f650gs 2005 the oil light keeps on lighting up and the bike ends up heating up. Any solutions

[@TechnMoto]

Take it to a shop to get checked. Sounds like the bike is overheating badly. Could be a number of things. Bad fan, oil unit, temp sensor, radiator, oil level, wrong oil etc.

[@WhereToNextDad]

Great channel !!! Very interesting video, like!!!!

[@TechnMoto]

Thanks

[@damko80]

omg how did you make these mufflers so shiny?

[@TechnMoto]

polished them with Mothers Polish

[@vincentgoettle4039]

Hey! Can you telle me what kind of system did you use for the additionnal light? I have the same bike and I'd like to get one like yours. Great video by the way!

[@TechnMoto]

basically just some waterproof LED spot lights with some wiring and a switch to control them.

[@vincentgoettle4039]

@@TechnMoto okay, but how did you fix it on the fork? Did you required some type of adapter? Or just a basic hose clamp?

How much would this cost?

Really depends on what’s needed and wether your paying for labor. If your asking what it cost me I couldn’t tell you cause I did not track it.

well done dude! BMW has come out with some of the worst colour schemes in the history of the two wheels with this model... 🙈! You have do e a great job 👍 . Paint wise , do you prime, spray , then seal with a varnish? Doesn’t it scratch off ?

[@TechnMoto]

No. I used krylon plastic paint spray. Then I buffed it out. Came out great and has held up well. Pretty nice considering the materials I used and the price.

never painting a bike with a paint spray!, and tail rack is very unsafe wit all that sharp corners

Lol-the corners are unsafe ? The whole dam bike is unsafe! Motorcycling is unsafe, period. 😂😂😂

[@gilsonnunesmaia8023]

Observei muito capricho em alguns pontos, como, por exemplo, a utilização de torquímetro, a substituição dos fluidos, mas em outros.... Um absurdo! A vida útil dos rolamentos da coluna de direção ficaram reduzidos (com um pouco de sorte), pela metade. Adotem outra técnica para remover e instalar rolamentos. Se fosse no Brasil é porque é no Brasil. Pintura com tinta a partir de lata de spray, não dura dois meses. Solda elétrica com a peça encaixada na moto? Que coisa né?!! Criticar é fácil, alguns irão falar. Deve ser por causa da Pandemia. Que venha a vacina logo. Se depender do Bozo.....Gilson Nunes Maia do Brasil

I guess everybody is a critic now a days no matter the country. You are entitled to your opinion. take care

[@shopaccount6446]

6 months later all the aerosol paint is scratched and flaking off all the alloy and plastic components and the bike looks worse than before..... child like mentality..... oh well....the other KZbin viewers liked it.....

Spray can paint used and this is your comment. 😂 no one in their rite mind thinks this will last forever but certainly will be ok for more than 6 months or at least till I trash it on dirt.
