So You Want to Get Into Vintage Motorcycles? (Gearbox Issues Cont'd)
In this video we dive back into the BSA Victor Desert Sled Gearbox and I point out some common wear points that I failed to notice the last three times I had it out of the motor. Additionally, I show off a couple exciting additions to the garage (and channel) while sharing some insight into what vintage motorcycle ownership is like and why you should consider it as a hobby!

How to disassemble the primary and timing covers in order to access the gearbox of BSA models B44, B25 or Triumph TR25W to diagnose a gearbox/clutch issue with selecting 2nd gear on my 1968 BSA B441 desert sled. #BSA441 #BSA #BSAVictor #BSAShootingStar #Triumph #TriumphTR25 #desertsled
Right on man. Keep on wrenching.

Great video very helpful
I’m glad you liked it!
Nice job, a work mate of mine had a canary yellow shooting star here in the UK back in the early 70s the sound and the torque of that big thumper stuck with me and that tank of yours sets it off a treat well done.
The torque is one of my favorite things about the 441 models, just outstanding! Thanks for sharing the story about your friend, don’t know that I’ve ever seen a shooting star that’s yellow before, gonna have to look that one up!
Why did you choose interceptor? You could have started with GT 650
Great question! I liked that the tank of the Interceptor is a little bigger than that of the GT650. Additionally, the GT650 is a little more expensive, happened to find a good deal on a used Interceptor that was in great shape so I snagged it! Honestly if I had found the same deal for the GT I’d have likely bought it instead!
Very dope
Nice mods to your likings ,looks cool
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
Nice Beezer! I would move the seat forward to the back of the gas tank. Don't ask why I know.
lolol you've got me curious now....
@@i_hate_mosquitos Let's just say,"personal experience". Ha Ha (NOT)
That tank is so sick!
I’m still a fan of your BSA’s tank! 😁
Cool. One of my personal favorites. I’ve kept my entertainment (hobby restoration) to H-D, building basket cases and mechanics specials. 👍🏼
Right on! One of these days I’ll get into the H-D stuff. Barrier to entry seems a bit higher, but hope to build a traditional chopper or bobber in the future!
Sounds great. Looks decent. But the gap between the tank and seat looks a bit odd, and the front mudguard looks wrong and potentially dangerous. Could you not find a real one?
So the gap between the seat and the tank is something that the bone stock BSA 441 model range has. It’s a lot more noticeable with the alloy tank fitted! Are you familiar with the old Triumph desert sleds? The seat is shaped in the same style as the aftermarket seats used in the 60’s and 70’s on the old sleds. As for the front mud guard, I have a stock one, but because this is a dirt bike, needed more clearance so debris doesn’t jam up the wheel, hence why it doesn’t hug as closely to it. The stock forks are fairly weak (lotta people including BSA towards the end of the production run) upgraded to Cerianis to fix the problem. So it really needs a fender of sorts to strengthen it, another option would be a fork brace. As I live where there’s more mud than sand, I opted for a fender with more clearance!

So cool 👌
Sounds good! Nice work!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed seeing it 😁
The long videos are deffo worth it for an in depth tutorial but for algorithm modern humans have very short attention span sadly 😆
Yeah that’s what I’ve been thinking too. Any ideas for shorter content aside from stuff like this video? 😂
@i_hate_mosquitos simple how to's om the old bikes would be cool, like what to do if you've left your bike for months and the oil has drained from the tank maybe
Right on, I’ll look over the bikes and see what things like that I can do. Got a couple that I haven’t fired up in a little while 👍🏻
Nice job! I have a 77’ I rewired the primary coil for a hotter spark played with the advance springs, ported the head intake and opened up the valve bowls, rejetted the carburetor and changed the gearing and now the bike pulls hard over 50 mph and will keep going until it blows up but I won’t do that. To much fun to kill it.
That’s sick! Did you leave it stock bore?
@@i_hate_mosquitos Yes, still has the original bore. I only run it with just the filter cage only. It needs to breath. I stay away from sand it does fine on trails, grass or road. Carb stays clean. It's nearly or close to keeping up with my 76 Mr250.
@@Seansworld17 man you gotta post a video of it! I’d love to see it rip! Just clicked through your channel! I see you’re a fellow Indiana boy. What trails do you go ride here in the great Hoosier state?
I'm more Northwest Indiana, we have a public open ride in Plymouth Indiana. Use to ride at Attica but is very crowded and very dangerous. Was thinking of stepping up towards Michigan they have some trails there.
@@Seansworld17 oh right on, I’m central Indiana. I’ll have to check out Plymouth. Been to Attica a couple times, the side by side guys there are really what make it so bad I think. Michigan’s definitely on my list though. I’d like to make it up to Silver Lake this summer specifically!
Great stuff! 😊
Thanks so much Josh! 😁
Mine was an xr80, probably a 1980, and the galley where the cam rides wore down and caused the timing chain to go slack and bent the valves.
Oh man, that’s unfortunate! Did you end up repairing it or getting rid of the bike?
That was my first bike at 12 years old. I rode that thing about a billion miles until it finally just died. Same year too! Man that brings back memories lol
This is part of what I love about the old bikes, they always stir up so many fond memories for people. Glad it brought back memories of your childhood man! This week I’m editing the footage for the rest of the top end, will be posting it this weekend so keep an eye out to hear it run! :D
I can’t wait to ride this bad boy when the weather gets better
Gonna be a blast! It’s a fun little bike for sure
keep up the good work man!
Means a lot man! Thank you so much!
Just come across your channel. Looking forward to see the channel grew. Subscribed.
Thanks so much Steve!
Would love to see a video about that royal enfield
What kind of video would you like to see of it? Walk through of the different modifications I’ve done? General maintenance? Would love some more feedback!
@@i_hate_mosquitos all of the above and maybe a review and ride
