    Kudos, Edmond, for: Choosing an older bike like the Yamaha XS. Usually guys your age go with a 600 cc sport bike. I am glad to see it's not just us old guys that like to keep vintage bikes on the road. Second, for going ahead with the recommissioning without a full-zoot bike repair shop in your garage. Working on the floor, using what tools you have, just getting it done. You da man!

    I just found a scarlet red one that has been sitting in a barn for the last 45 years. Ive already starting cleaning it up and getting ready to start it. The white is nice too. I think the right person would pay over 5 or 10k. The wrong person will offer you maybe 1k. Dont rush selling it

    Brilliant . A how to video from a bloke who uses a pipe wrench to undo a sump plug on a motorcycle. Have i jumped out too soon ? Is this a joke? Not going to bother with the next video unless he relabels it how NOT to be a mechanic. No gear and no idea either. God only knows what damage lays ahead for this bike if this guy keeps it much longer. I feel sorry for the bike.

    • @edmond601
      @edmond601 7 місяців тому

      I felt like I had to respond. Nowhere did I say I was a mechanic, I was just documenting a process in which I learned everything from scratch. I certainly found out there are wrong ways to do things, like what you mentioned, and that's part of my learning process! And yes, I have gear. I didn't even take the bike on a spin yet by this point. Why would I wear gear while changing oil, lol? Certainly if you have more experience working on bikes this would seem silly but that's not the point of this video. Thanks for watching.

    Awesome bike ... Simple , honest workhorse. Just picked on up from the Bronx from an elderly gentleman. Missing some parts unfortunately but I mind it not since the price was right. Enjoy riding it , u got a piece of Honda motor history there...

    Hah, I had one of these some years ago, 600 bucks and it ran. Ive had a lotta streetbikes, the XS so far was the worst by a mile. Really slow, really vibrated and buzzed, crap for brakes, horrible suspension, heavy enough to be a 4 cylinder. But they sorta look like an old triumph.
