Yamaha XV 1600 Wild Star - Engine Resurrection Part 2 (HD/4K)

[@sonicgauge1]

Best mechanic vid ive ever seen, no talking just showing, thank you this is exacly what I've been looking for..

[@REBUILDLab]

Thank you! Glad that it served!

[@kilpel2]

I have this same bike that I bought last year with 17000 miles. Sweet engine and I love the bike. Definitely worth fixing. Your videos are extremely educational. Thanks!

[@REBUILDLab]

Thank you very much and good luck with your bike! The mileage is not really high on yours, it should serve you long and well.

[@0Gotland4Ever0]

Note about the torque wrench, when it clicks once you don't need to make it click a 2nd time since the 1st click already set ti to the required Nm. 2nd click basically does nothing. Fantastic video!

[@REBUILDLab]

Thanks for the note! Glad you like it 👍

[@BrandenCaney]

I love these bikes! Great video! Thanks for taking the time to record the process.

[@REBUILDLab]

Thanks Branden! I'm Glad it was of use.

[@oakeydoakey1]

Just pulled the trigger and bought one dead in a garage. An 01 with 30k on it for a song. Like what I'm seeing here. As an older motorsports guy I've never wrenched on one of these. Thanks for taking the mystery out of it.

[@REBUILDLab]

Glad it helped and good luck with your WS!

[@HagersvilleHunk]

Another excellent video made by "the man of many words". Am impressed that you used 4mil paper gaskets and got away with it. Might even try that myself in the future. Thanks again.

[@REBUILDLab]

Well, thanks. Regarding this too many words - what would you like to have it, or what should be cut away next time? Tnx!

[@kentuckyjustice1408]

That was a fun [2 video] series. Lots of "stop n go" to read, but I understand. "Thumbs up" from this Kentucky boy"

[@REBUILDLab]

Thank you so much for the nice words, it was a bit of battle. Thanks a lot

[@mapacheraccoon4476]

What a dawning task,Wow..!!..hats off to ya brother..great job great video...I love these bikes..❤

[@REBUILDLab]

Thank you very much!

[@Hulk-lives]

Great work man 👍🏻😎 love the video! I own one of these bikes and it is amazing 👍🏻 I noticed you didn’t put the spring back on under the clutch arm at the casing ?! Is that okay ? Or should it be put back on? Otherwise keep up the great content ✌🏻

[@Hulk-lives]

My bad just seen you put it on 👍🏻😜

[@dennytuma]

i think i would have tightened those rockers down a little then wait awhile then a little more then wait some more to give the lifter time to bleed down so you don't bend a push rod and the floor boards are on backwards wide part goes forward. you did a good job.

[@REBUILDLab]

Good idea with thee rockers and lifters. Yes, the floor boards were switched back like they should have been, wide part in front. Thanks!

[@mehmetmimaroglu7619]

after all that great work, you installed the floorboards reverse :) swap the left to right and right to left. I really enjoyed watching both of the episodes. you worked very precisely and cleanly but I am a huge believer of the torque wrenches, so expected you to use it on the head bolts and crankcase bolts. But other than that , great video. keep up the good work pal!!

[@REBUILDLab]

Hi Mehmet, did I, can swap them, no prob 😊👍 Didn't expected that to happen 😄 Yeah these tiny torque wrenches...It just doesn't seem to be practical to me...they need to be calibrated etc, one can feel when the tiny bolt is bottomed out. But I certainly will consider do it and thank you for the hint and good words! Have a nice one! 👍

[@TheChoosenOne94]

1. Clutch plates should be bathed in oil for several hours before mounting them. 2. If the engine doesn't want to rev cold or hot that means carb need adjustments. Bad air/fuel ratio.

[@REBUILDLab]

Can be, thanks for the tips.

[@FrancoisImberechts]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@REBUILDLab]

Thnx! 👍

[@curtis1951]

If it has hydraulic lifters then why do the valves need adjusted?

[@REBUILDLab]

Basic adjustment needs to be done.

[@chaser631]

Ну вот, посмотрел два твоих видео, вспомнил как делал это раз 6-7 подряд, пытаясь убрать тот самый тикающий звук. В принципе, мотор сам по себе громкий, это же воздушник + это не хонда... В принципе тебе повезло, что есть в наличии запчасти, у меня вот тоже все норм оказалось - распредвалы живые, не успело их скушать, только гидрокомпенсаторы поменял и все, один начал крошиться. По итогу: мотор прикольный, но ресурса не так много, где-то на 150-200 тыс. км. Далее - новый мотор. Но надо еще наездить эти тысячи км..... Удачи :)

[@REBUILDLab]

Rhe spare.parts can be ordered, except you are based simewhere where they do not ship in to. The engine looks cool, runs ok, it is air cooled carb so very straight forward. To run it 200.000 though I can not imagine. The bike is too loud to me, my ears are falling off 🙂 Anyway, good luck with your machine!

[@milancetkovic6433]

I have the same bike,work perfectly,exept when I put in fourth gear some strange noise coming from the gearbox.by your opinion what can be the problem?

[@REBUILDLab]

No idea, but I did heard about gearbox recall from the factory, if I'm not mistaken. Search for it, if you like.

[@milancetkovic6433]

Any idea where to search??

[@gattling9]

Looking at the amount of silicone used by previous owner/mechanic and damages that it did i have a strong feeling that: Poles were here 🇵🇱 😅

[@REBUILDLab]

That was a good one 👍

[@ojaichuck]

Bottoming out yhe bolts? What about torque specs?

[@REBUILDLab]

Well, it works like that...

[@paulacabbo466]

Reverse the those running boards they're backwards

[@REBUILDLab]

It happened already. I must post something to this 🙂 Thank you

[@williamhalter2032]

I have a 2000 roadstar 98 CI/1602 CC.. 56k miles no problems.

[@REBUILDLab]

Great to hear that. This bike did 50k with the original weak oil pump... Think they are solid and will hold. Good luck with yours! 👍

[@paulacabbo466]

shouldn't new cams be broken by keeping the engine at 2000 rpm for like 15 to 20 minutes, ive read you shouldn't let new cams run at idle

[@REBUILDLab]

Don't think so, what should be he reason behind that?
