If you've got a motorcycle from pretty much any time between 1950 and 2000, and might like to maintain and repair it yourself there will be something in here for you. You'll see how to take bikes that haven't run for 5, 10, 40 (!) years or may just have been left in a shed gathering dust, and soon have them bowling along the road. Maybe as little as half an hour. They might have had a tough life or been loved but forgotten. It doesn't matter-we get every bike running and looking great, and you'll see that this is all done without access to lavish workshop facilities or expensive specialised tooling. Brakes, carburation, engines-light tuning to full frame off strip.
I try to deliver this content in a way that's entertaining and informative and yes, you'll also see the occasional light blunder.

CX 500. We ride the $400 Maggot.
Переглядів 1,1 тис.Рік тому
This little bike came to me from my friend Geoff Kann in Seymour, Wi ands it was pretty sad but that was reflected in the price Geoff and I agreed of just $400. The engine was stuck but after a little Marvel Miracle oil it freed off and with just a little more carb and starter work it ran up - smokily at first but this cleared after a few minutes running. This is a short ride out after we had s...
Honda CX 500. Can we save the $400 Maggot?
Переглядів 2,2 тис.Рік тому
This is a bike I bought in Wisconsin last year for just $400 as it was pretty ragged looking very dirty and rusty, but as it was all there I didn't think (but I've been wrong before) I could get my arse kicked. What I didn't know is that the engine was seized from standing in a damp barn or shed for 20 years. The bike shows just 5000 miles but if it won't run its worth what I can get for the pa...
KZ650 exhausts. Replacing shot silencers with new cans
Переглядів 7532 роки тому
This Z650 is a super low-miles bike I found being sold in Pennsylvania a wee while ago. The photos showed the exhaust tips were taped up and when I asked the guy why, he assured me they were solid. They're clearly finished and that's just how it pans out sometimes but now....how do I save the all-important 4-2 config without spending upwards of £1000/$1400. I've had this mod done successfully a...

I've had this bike for some time. It came to me with noisy 4-1 exhaust, the wrong brake calipers fitted to the front discs...(bonkers as they only contacted half the brake pad), the wrong handlebars, no turn signals, pod filters, some home made luggage holders and it hadn't been run for many years. In short it was something of a dog but I thought it would come back to stock.. The handlebars etc...
BMW Carb strip and rebuild.
Переглядів 1542 роки тому
These carbs are from a '74 BMW R90/6 that hasn't run for a generation due to some top end damage and whilst I have the bike in bits it's easy to have a look at them and sort out any issues before I actually need the carbs. I'll strip, clean, set fuel levels and rebuild the carbs ready to pop them on the bike when I have the top end rebuild completed. I'll have lots of content coming up so if yo...
BMW Broken and seized spark plug extraction?
Переглядів 2352 роки тому
Whilst rebuilding the carbs for this bike I couldn't get past the point that before I could go much further I'd need to extract the spark plug stub, seized into the cylinder head that was probably the reason for the bike to have been laid up originally. Conventional tapered reverse thread stud extractors weren't going to get the piece out-I tried, so here's what worked on this bike and saved th...

Honda CL 350 Scrambler: First start and alloy cleaner test
Переглядів 4712 роки тому
I've had alloy cleaner on the shelf for some time but have never had the nerve to try in in case it marks chrome or leaves the alloy with a horrible black residue . This bike with its oxidised alloy engine casings and cylinders seemed to offer a low risk opportunity to see what the stuff can do. If any of you have used this stuff before and see that I'm doing it all wrong-don't be afraid to poi...

This CL was the last of six CL 350s I imported last year and if it shows anything it's that first impressions can maybe be misleading. Although the bike was pretty scruffy with a goosed exhaust system, odd paint, heavily oxidised engine casings etc and missing panels, it's clear that someone has started to restore this bike and has for reasons we've no view of, stopped the resto part way throug...

This 72 ( K4) CL 350 is one I bought last year and as it seemed one of the scruffiest of the 6 I had in the delivery, it got kinda left to the back of the queue. What a mistake ... Its an original 7600 mile bike that has been parked for a generation ( probably in a damp shed) but with very little encouragement it started up. Its had the usual carb work as you'd expect and the tyres ( definitely...
Honda CL350 Scrambler Clutch problem? Fix it yourself!
Переглядів 1,5 тис.2 роки тому
This little Honda CL 350 is crazy original - but perhaps originality isn't quite what its supposed to be in every case. The clutch makes a horrible cracking noise every time it's operated, and the aluminium on the engine casings and brake hubs is looking badly neglected. A little running now and again would be far better to keep everything working properly. Here's how this clutch was sorted for...

Honda CL350/CB350. How to set fuel levels. Repairing a damaged plug thread
Переглядів 5532 роки тому
This bike is one that we got running after a very long sleep and whilst the engine is healthy, the bike needs some basic carb work and a repair to a damaged spark plug thread - hopefully without taking the cylinder head off. So we'll replace the needle valves and set the fuel levels, and I'll see if I can bring that damaged thread back with a new tool I've just bought. If you like bike stuff ( ...

Take forever to warm
God, yes. If you try to give it a squirt before it's FULLY warmed through it'll just hiccup and cough until you give it some choke. Those little pistons have a BIG lump of metal to warm up. Still one of my favourite bikes. Maybe it is my favourite. Everything else that came afterwards followed this template. Thanks for watching
I recently aquired one in the uk similar condition same colour. Dont know when ill be able to start work on it though, 1981.
Very useful. Thanks. I just ordered a Delkevic 4-1 system and need to re-jet. Obviously I'll be doing the floats and balancing. I didn't know you couldn't measure the float heights. I ordered the tube you used from ebay, after watching your video. Thanks again for the info.
Setting the float height using the tube is tedious, but you'll get the result. Thanks for watching
@@rodcurrieclassics8102 Thanks.
How about a video of a Honda 400f? Well guess youd need to own 1.
If only I could have seen what was happening at the carbs when you were hooked up to the gauges. 🫣
I have a brown version in Ontario Canada and I love this bike! I bought one in 1977 and sold it when l needed a car for college…wished I kept it. Bought my second one in 2020 and enjoy it immensely ! It is a light city cruiser and not designed for racing..enjoy the ride and keep the racing machines for the track ! Thanks for the great video.
I've found a very good example of this bike for 2300 euros in Greece. The only problem is that the electric starter is faulty. I'm worried about the bike's fuel consumption and the availability of spare parts. I would really care for the opinion of other owners
The starter motor isn't usually the problem, but the starter clutch. If the motor spins up but only briefly or not at all turns the engine, It'll be the starter clutch. You can buy kits to repair the clutch...though it doesn't always work and a better way to resolve is to buy a used "known good" starter clutch. Fuel consumption will be 45-ish to a gallon so comparable with others bikes of the era. There are LOADS of spares for them as many of the bikes parts are shared with other models. Hope that helps. Rod
@@rodcurrieclassics8102 Thank you so much for the reply. Yeah I actually talked to the owner and he said that the starter motor spins but doesn't always couple so the clutch is indeed the problem. I'm having a tough time deciding between this bike and a much newer and more economical Kawasaki estrella 250. Cheers
I was afraid we had lost you. Looking forward to more posts. Glad you look healthy.
What a score. That 550 is awesome. It looks brand new.
Super glad I found your channel. You have a great demeanor and good sense of humor. I am working on a kz750 twin restore that will take months, and you are amazing inspiration. I enjoy your vids, please keep making them! thx.
Hi there. I had a Kz750 twin a few years ago, Super low miles bike that I loved to ride . No point revving it as the grunt was all low down and on tap. I should maybe have kept it but it was one of my first imports so I sold it very quickly. I'm still looking for one as nice. Thanks for watching, Rod
Need help finding wiring harnesses for kz650 B2. Do you have any suggestions? Many thanks.
I realky appreciate your video. Im working in my dads gs750 and I'm torn between polishing it out to make it look nice , and leaving it alone so nobody will give it a second glance to steal it. .
Polish it. You'll smile even when its in the garage. Thanks for watching, Rod
Dont run it without cleaning the oil filter out ..
very useful vid - where the parts clear coated / lacquered or does the blue compound cut through that??
Yes, it'll quickly get through the lacquer. The alternative-rubbing away with metal polish -will take days but the blue or brown compound will get through it.
Thank you for the video. i just acquired one fo these with 13,000 original miles on it. Looking forward to putting it back on the road.
I bought my first bike in Fall 1987, after spending a vacation riding dirt bikes on the islands of Greece (mostly Paros). It was a 1976 CB500T. I bought it off a guy going through his third divorce. Drinking what seemed to be gallons of warm beer over ice, he told many memorable things to this impressionable lad, such as "marriage is an economic thing." He kept his motorcycles at his father's house, and after a brief tour of his rental property check ins (with rent due in two days, he would pull into the driveways of his rentals, and honk his horn 'to remind them') we arrived at his dad's farm. He owned a dozen or so bikes, and I rode a few, but the only one I was interested in, the only one I had enough money for, was the cb500t. It, apparently, was his "exception" bike. He had many rules for motorcycles, but the cb500t was always the exception. Always buy a repair manual, never cut the wiring harness, never dropped a bike, never leave parked outside..... But, of course, he would then add 'except that bike.'. To be clear, the bike was not in running condition, had been dropped, with one visibly bent fork and cracked primary cover, was parked outside, and the seat had split from rot. The engine did have oil in it, and the pistons were not seized. I paid $150 bucks for it. Over the next few months, I went through all the steps of resurrecting that bike, getting spark, stripping it and painting frame, rebuilt brakes, carbs, wheels, forks, etc. I even made a new seat, stitching it out of sheet leather I had. I drank what was certainly gallons of beer, and broke a few of my girlfriends rules, such as "do not start motorcycle without headers in kitchen." I found out used parts were cheaper at salvage yards when you show up in grease stained clothes. Over the next few years, I rebuilt the top end, the clutch, the transmission which had some sticking and false neutrals from the previous owner drop. The early days of the internet, Usenet rec.motorcycles.repair was extremely useful. Met some great guys at a local bike shop, owner was super kind and helpful, taking care of the things I couldn't do but giving lots of helpful advice for the things I wanted to learn. I rode that bike many 1000s of miles, day long trips into the smoky mountains, and all over the back roads of east TN. Never stranded. The bike got me through college and graduate school as a daily commuter. I sold it in 94 when I moved overseas (with newly married) wife to teach in Central Europe, after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Back in the states now. Still married... It is truly an economic thing! I did learn, after the rise of the internet, that the cb500t was a maligned bike. But, similar power and more dependable than it's British inspiration. I think the appearance of the first "superbikes" was part of the reason it got a bad rap. Perhaps I would be dead if I had had enough money to buy a superbike at the age of 22... Anyway, I wish I still had that bike. I'd buy one again if I could find one that hasn't been all chopped up/cafe racered, etc. Honda Reliable, simple enough to work on for the average bear, with enough power and range to learn how to ride without killing yourself. Only two carbs, which was a big plus in my book. Fond memories of a dependable friend. It was a good time and a good life!
Hi there, great story! There's very few 500Ts left here too. I've ridden in the Smoky Mountains with a friend of mine who lives just a mile or so from the start of the Dragon. I got pulled over and roasted by a trooper for crossing the double lines on my KTM LC4 a few years ago when I was in Tn for a holiday. Lovely part of the world
Is the seat on the Candy Antares Red models black or brown? I just bought what was a Glory Brown model with a bad paint job on the tank and seat. It has a dark brown saddle, but I’d like to paint it this color red. It only has 2900 miles!
Yes the Red bikes have a black seat and the "glory" brown ones a brown seat. It was a 70s thing...everything was brown, car interiors, domestic carpets and furniture. So glad we left THAT behind us. Thanks for watching
@@rodcurrieclassics8102 After I posted this, I did some searching, and the Antares Red may have also come with a brown seat. There are several that come up. Either way, very nice old motorcycles that were unfairly maligned!
Hi Dan. Well every day's a schoolday eh? Thanks for letting me know
Had one of those a weapon 125mph guaranteed fuel economy gorne but quick as at the time abused it and it loved it miss it not for gas though👍👍
yeah they're great bikes. I'm just about to restore another one.
Where do I get the adapter for the tubing or how do I make one
Hi there. As I recall I just put "float level tube" or the like in Ebay and got a hit. Try a few combinations and you'll get a hit.Thanks for watching
Enjoyed the video liked the cb500t but bought a cb400f2
Hi Brian. the 400s really bring good money now but like the 500T's there's not many left. Thanks for watching
This was the bike (well, the 450) I lusted after in high school. The engine is so beefy and just purty to look at. I agree about *Itchy Boots.* It's a fun, engaging experience.
The 450 sounds lovely too. A great bark to that engine . Thanks for watching

Hello Rod, this is Jack from the states,flapper wheel Jack, i haven't seen anything from you in quite sometime, are you ok? Sure miss your post.
Hey Jack. Been sorting my Mum's estate and house out for some time so just haven't had the time to do much bike stuff, except for stuff you've seen me do previously. I';m just finishing a nice CL 450 resto but have another to start and I may film that. Thanks for asking and hope you're well.
I'd posted this on one of your other vids, but I'm traveling a bit to look at '72 cl350 here in the states this weekend and was hoping for your thoughts - I'm wondering about your thoughts on carrying a passenger and the possibility of their leg burned on the high exhaust? Have you ever had passengers on with you? Thanks in advance for any insights!
I think in our societies Honda would have been sued long ago if someone had suffered burns as a consequence of poor design...so you can honestly rest assured you'll be fine. Yes I've carried pillions and no one has mentioned any discomfort. Thanks for watching. Rod
@@rodcurrieclassics8102That's just what I wanted to hear! Thanks so much! Ride ON!
What a beauty!! I'm looking at '72 cl350 here in the states BUT am wondering about your thoughts on carrying a passenger and the possibility of their leg burned on the high exhaust? Thanks in advance for any insights!
No possibility of that. There's a heat shield on the muffler and your passenger's leg would one well out of the way anyway. They're great bikes so buy it!!
@@rodcurrieclassics8102Thanks again Rod! I really appreciate that! WILL DO!
Sweet bike(s)! I had a 78 that I bought used for $500 back in 1987. It was my second bike (first was a 76 GT250) and it was a huge upgrade for me. It was a great bike and never let me down.
They've gone way up in value here now. I sold one a few weeks ago for £6250...that's about $8000 and is the norm for an original bike with factory exhausts. Thanks for watching
Thanks so much! These are the exact carbs I am working with and I'm so grateful I found these
My pleasure Jay. Thanks for watching
Fantastic! My daily driver year round is a 75 CB500T, and I love it! There aren’t so many around here in the states, so it’s always nice to see another one still going.
Hi there. Very few left here either. Ours mostly rotted out decades ago so its nice to find a solid one even if the styling was stuck in the 70s. It made a really good looking bike. Thanks for watching
why are the setting of the floats all the same ????
The float bowls are he same size of course, and the main jets need to be sitting in the same depth of petrol/gasoline so that the mixtures of air/fuel are the same and each cylinder will fire uniformly with its buddies.
Roll on spring
I have an older '66 Honda CB 450T that I upgraded to the 500T engine . . . . . My Ex-father in law built it into a chopper - way before I came onto the scene . . . . . .. Fast Forward 33 years ... I am now helping my son to rebuild the entire bike as a family heirloom ;) I have a feeling it already means more than all the money in the world ...... He's never seen it run . he will ;)
You bet. They're great engines and bulletproof. Good luck with the resto and thanks for watching. Rod
Hi Rod, just bought a CL 350 K4 I’m in Nothern Ireland and waiting for her delivery. Could I ask where you would source parts. I also need a new chrome steering damper cover. Not sure if that’s its name. Michael.
Looks a lovely bike to ride. And you look good on it.
For a fat old git. ;0) Tons of bits available . If you want new bits David Silvers has nearly everything. Except for the exhausts and handlebars the CB 350 stuff is identical. Two Wheel Spares in Stoke has tons of second hand bits . The hardest thing to source are exhausts-there just aren't any though I've over the years amassed quite a few sets. LOts of stuff on Ebay for them. You'll never be short of bits. Good luck and enjoy the bike. They're beautifully engineered and tons of fun . Thanks for watching
The 350s don't usually have a steering damper though the early 450s do-unnecessarily in my opinion and they stopped fitting them in '69. If you're unsure send me a pic of the boyt you're trying to replace. rodcurrie88@gmail.com. always happy to help
@@rodcurrieclassics8102 Thanks Rod Much appreciated. Michael.
London despatch riders favourite in the '80s . Rode a couple myself. Very comfortable when you're on them all day .
Yeah. My cousin was a dispatcher back in the day and rode several of these to death. He could change an engine on one in an hour or two. I'll probably keep this old girl for myself and I strangely like it. Thanks for watching
I enjoyed your review from start to finish. Told exactly like it is. Good job sir. Many thanks.
You're too kind Sir so thank you for your comments. BTW I have a Sako .243 for deer stalking . I wanted a 30-06 Mannlicher too as I love the action but haven't found one and I've kinda drifted away from stalking so I'll maybe just keep what I have. Thanks for watching and Happy New Year
@@rodcurrieclassics8102 Thanks for the reply, I have a Tikka in 25-06 but still find the 243 is my favourite. I don't gp fo the long shots a lot of people do now. 200yds is my max and as you know the 243 will cope if I do my part. Stay well my friend. Frank

Thanks for publishing this video. I wondered whether there was an effective way to clean the engine covers and end caps on my Suzuki GS750. I have a hard time understanding your Scottish dialect, but the video is great.

Can I ask where you got the seat cover from
Hi Daryl. I get them from a business called Old School Covers who operate out of Barnstaple, Devon in the south of England. They're great people and really care about what they do. If you want to get in touch with them you may find them on Ebay...just search for "Z650 seat cover" and they should pop up amongst the choices..otherwise Email me on rodcurrie88@gmail .com and I'll give you their number. Thanks for watching.
are you still selling bikes Rob, just did a search for you and this is the most recent I can find and its a year old now. . . hope your OK. . .
Hi there. I've couple for sale right now on Ebay, A blue and a red kz650. Just have a look and I'm sure you'll find them. Thanks for asking and for watching
muffler isnt a foot rest! bad habbit!
that looked like fun ! good job on it
It was a great bike that really came back easily and it did start just as quickly as you saw on the vid. The starter motor was stuffed though and it took me ages to get one. It was all good in the end though. Thanks fort watching
someone I know has this exact bike from new, a few years back he got knocked off it by a car reversing off a driveway so he took the opportunity to rebuild it, professionally resprayed, stove-enamelled frame and parts, anodized bits, stainless steel Allen bolts, every surface machine polished, the engine was shot blasted with coconut shells and then Cerakote'd, new seat cover, grips clock faces, cables, chain & sprockets, you name it he did it, the bike was better than the day he bought it, he still has it as far as I know, he's owned a good few bikes both on & off-road machines, he did own a Norton wasp motocross sidecar outfit which he piloted but always kept the KZ650, he said the engine was the best mid-range machine he ever rode,
Yeah they're super bikes and that engine was the basis for so many of their later bikes. It was just so strong they almost doubled the power without beefing it up. Thanks for watching
Horrible buzz box of a bike, they looked the part but in reality the CB500T was mutton dressed as lamb, no brakes (due to the useless front disc), all revs but no go. A poor oversized version of the much better 450 Black bomber, why Honda decided to stroke a damned good engine to get the extra 50cc eludes me, Honda made a mess of this particular machine.
Hi there. Wild child CB 450 became pipe and slippers CB500T which was a real shame as the 450 was the bad boy of its day. The CB 750 took all the sales and I remember a CB 450 in Robinsons (Rochdale dealer ) window for months in about 1971. When the 750 came out they couldn't give the 450 away. I have a CL 450 which is still my favourite bike. Thanks for watching
I'm looking at the exact same bike here in the States. Yours is a beauty! Thanks for the ride along...it looks like a great area for some fun rides on this bike.
They're great bikes and values have gone a little crazy your side so buy one whilst you can. Thanks for watching
Invest in a proper mic Ffs.
Does this have a sticker or painted stripes? want to know.
Hi there, The stripes on the tank are decals/tape from new, not paint and they are the same on my bikes. The Kawasaki badge is metal. Thanks for watching.
Had a 1972 CB450 and loved it. When the 500 came out it was shot down by the magazine talking heads, and with less hp and more weight than the 450, maybe rightfully so. Now, both have classical styling and were bullet proof in the day.
I totally agree with you on the 500T. I’ve got 2 450s and a 500T (No, I don’t have more bikes) and I prefer the 450 in almost any aspect. Although it’s basically the same engine, the character changed significantly IMO as they increased the stroke and added that weird exhaust connector. I’ve been tempted to make changes to the original stock look many, many times but there’s something about the original look. I don’t know but it’s perhaps the first retro bike.
Yeah. I didn't like the 500T back in the day as it kinda betrayed the 450 bad boy attitude but now I like them. Maybe because I'm not longer the bad boy either. :0) Thanks for watching and for your comment

Glad you liked the vid. Thanks for watching, Rod
Lovely riding country around there, one of the things I really miss about the UK (I moved to New Zealand in 2004). My kind of bikes too, a nostalgia trip for me as I gave up bikes in NZ, it's mostly Harleys and everyone wants a race, I just can't be arsed with it. I see you got a comment about the riding garb, he should try NZ, shorts, t-shirt and Jandals (flip flops) no gloves is pretty common😄
Yeah..at one time I'd have been tutting but as long as you ride according to the conditions I think that's fair enough. Fast riding, put the gear on ...grandad smelling the flowers? Jandals etc is fine but its all a choice and oner man's meat etc. Thanks for watching
