gotta agree, as someone with ADHD (Idk if Craig does but I meannnnnnn) I often work myself to death because I want to work on seven projects at once and you just can't. He needs to focus more on a couple things rather then "the whole damn garage." *sigh* I wish I took my own advice sometimes.

If it still has the OEM exhaust pipe on it, ditch it. It's a really thick double-skinned item and simply swapping for a single-skinned pipe of the same diameter will liberate another 6+ BHP. That's not internet crap - talk to the SR500 Owners Club about how to basically deresrict the bike. A little bit more work on the intake end will get it from 31.5 to to 44BHP without putting undue stress on the engine - now that will be a fiesty little bike to ride. Also check the last 6 - 8 back issues of 'Classic Bike'; there was an article in one of them on the SR500 and the SR500 Owners Club. There will be some useful stuff in there for you.

It definitely wasn't when he first started working on it..the pistons and everything were completely froze up and took him several days of soaking and hammering to get it unstuck..and now it seems the clutch basket is also seized up, buuut other than the mechanical stuff being froze up the bike itself is beautiful and the paint and chrome are definitely awesome for the age.. don't think he will restore it though unfortunately it will probably be sold to someone who will finish it up I think is what he said on the other video.. wish I was close to him 😂 I'd love to have another project bike, im getting close to finishing my lil twinstar, it's back running/riding again just need a few more lil things then its new gaskets and paint time I think 😂

I've done very limited restorations throughout my life, and I've seen channels completely die because it takes 3 months to update on one. Craig is extremely skilled and overly taxed at the moment. Fixing older stuff is extremely difficult and breaks down into like a thousand super technical subproblems really quickly. I think it's time to take a week in Hawaii fixing a single minorly clogged jet for someone.

Good call, I've got a bike that won't run if it has resistor plugs (good luck finding that size without) with the standard resistor caps. It will still spark when you pull a plug out, but can't jump the gap when it's got the added resistance of compression/fuel.

Could the left side rotary valve be 180 out? If so, both sides would be open at the same time and you'd have no bottom end seal to pump fuel/air up the transfer ports. Put a nitrile glove over the carbs and watch for intake suction. Second, Put a new set of plugs in it. I've been bitten by this SO MANY TIMES :-) It ran on two cylinders before. Both coils probably did not fail. I would go through the engine timing again with fresh eyes. Visually verifying the rotary valve timing and ignition timing. Forget about the gear marks for a minute and turn the engine over and see if everything looks to be in time. Maybe pull the plugs, spin the engine over, and put a timing light on in to see if the firing time is close?

If the coils don't fix the samurai, even a faulty ignition module will show you spark, test that too if it has one. I had the same issue when fixing a 1968 Triumph bonneville t120. Module went but it still showed sparks but they were never in the correct timing. :)

I sold it as is and took a $ 600 loss. It happens. Back in the 70s it wasn't uncommon for a RD to have automotive coils clamped to the front down tubes of the frame. You just need some big water hose clamps.

As the IT guy who was involved in keeping the sheriff's office systems up. You are very welcome. My prayers go out to everyone who lost everything. .

Man, I need to finish work and get something "maintained" enough to ride to the Vintage MC Festival at Barber. The collaboration with Paul Sr. will probably be good to grow the channel. Paul Sr. seemed a lot more chill in the videos with you and Sean than I expected. He seemed really nice, but an absolute authority as far as knowledge of motorcycles. It's going to be tough to match his build.

I did the samething with my pipes on my 1967 Puch motorcycle however used my ventilation system to suck air through the pipe to accelerate the burn process. It got them clean, was about 1/8 inch of carbon build up, neighborhood got smoked out.

Craig, how about a Hyabusa Chopper for the build? Don't think that would be safe, but would love to see Sean ride that.

Mount lights on a rod held by brackets along forks with a lever at top of rod that can pivot the rod and light from facing forward to facing the side, or like bracket of car door mirrors that allow swiveling to the side or forward position by simple pressure to turn them, and held in place by clicking a mechanism into a position.

I was thinking to myself "Self, scuffing and sanding the clutch of the ST sure didn't work" (put a dent in the door of my truck) and then you mentioned it really isn't a fix, just a band-aid. I replaced it and got nice and smooth, then replaced the alternator, upgrading to a 48 amp, then replaced the fuel pump, then replaced the brake disks, then replaced the final drive, then a hole in the radiator caused it to over heat and I lost a cylinder. Two weeks after paying for a two year registration instead of one.

THE SAMURAI WILL COME TO LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Miyamoto Musashi: "If you live in fear, you will not live long." Musashi also said, "Accept everything just the way it is" and "Do not regret what you have done." Good video, bros!! Hope Sr's shop in Florida is alright. Sean is the man for delivering goods to hurricane victims. I'm looking forward to the biker build off. Have a good weekend.

Craig, my brother, there is a way to break the clutch free without tearing it all apart. I did it on a 2004 Intruder.
