Great video Its actually reminds me of my brothers suzuki bandit 250 we did the same thing a year ago Good old memories

[@anthonyangeli256]

Whew! She's in rough shape! But that's a great bike. I've owned one since '88. Well worth the effort. Gonna take a lotta work, but she'll run. Good luck!

[@AhhSamboi]

Watching this because I got a 79 GL100 that hasn't run since 1994

Hi there, I’m trying to start a motorcycle that has been sitting for a while. Shouldn’t I worry about the engine locking up? Or the pistons scratching the cylinders? Should I do any pre clean up before trying to start it?

[@RustyRatchetGarage]

Have you tried to turn it over yet, if not remove the spark plug pour transmission fluid into the cylinder, let sit for about 4 days. This will loosen up the rust and weep thru the rings, change the oil in case there is water in it. With the spark plug out put a towel over the engine so trans fluid don’t go all over. If it has a kick start, kick it slowly if not just crank it. This is how I do all my motors cars or bikes. Not always on video.

[@allahdaniel212]

@@RustyRatchetGarage first of all, thanks for taking the time to respond to my question! It’s a CT1 and only has kick starter. When I gently kick it, I can feel the movement so I don’t think it’s locked up. It’s a 2 stroke engine and I’m assumed it’s still the same procedure? Thanks again.

People need to stop cutting them up. If you want a cafe then find one that somebody already fucked up with their zero ability to build and fix their garbage. Leave stock alone

[@godwinflores4819]

Buying a cb750c 1980 dohc just like yours, planning to restore it also

[@RustyRatchetGarage]

Godwin Flores awesome !! It’s post some videos of it.

[@godwinflores4819]

@@RustyRatchetGarage hey dude, bought a 1980 Honda CB750 Custom Exclusive as my first bike at 2 years ago. how’s your bike doing? it sat for 2 years it doesn’t run anymore.

[@RustyRatchetGarage]

@@godwinflores4819 I got a lot of parts hoping to start building it this winter. I wish I had it done this summer with gas prices lol

[@shelbyhilliard8677]

Chop the pipes throw the air box as far as you can and put some mikuni s on it

[@milmex317th]

So did you finish it?

[@RustyRatchetGarage]

No, I have about 85% of the parts. Will have a video this spring

[@chadmarcellay2339]

Bring it back to stock

[@RustyRatchetGarage]

That’s what I’m going to do. Still collecting parts for it

[@lil_grip2384]

The thing is to unlock the seat and pop it up.

[@lil_grip2384]

Also, gas line is bigger hose, vacuum line is small

[@Chopper650]

stock cb carbs need cleaning out at the very least if it hasnt run in years/decades... the jets get blocked and float needles dont seat properly... 1st is to check compression, then spark, then carbs

[@addisontakacs7149]

You got the title?

[@RustyRatchetGarage]

I do have a title

[@omegaman4153]

Original, all the way.

[@RustyRatchetGarage]

That’s what I’m doing, still collecting parts

[@archiemillington306]

[@RustyRatchetGarage]

Brake clean is very flammable

[@Francey4782]
