trade it for an injected 1800. problem solved

Greeting from the UK Very interesting vids. I've got an 85 GPz750A3. Owned it since new but it's been off the road for the last 15 years. Local Freelance Bike Mechanic Re-Commisioned it for me as I didn't feel confident to just hit that starter! Mine doesn't have the two square vacuum boxes (?) on the top of the engine (I presume they're a US mod). Great to see someone actually doing the jobs on the same bike. I've got a lot of cosmetic work to do but just enjoying the riding at present, which lets face it is what biking is all about! Cheers.

Is there a trick to getting the cam chain tensioner push rod to stay in ?

I just got an 04 VTX 1300 in almost perfect condition for $1500 but it doesn’t run. It’s got good compression and spark but I don’t think it’s getting fuel. Gonna check the carb today.

Great job Great Idea with the Petcock!

I didn't know they made the 18s in the orange flame paint job. I got the same paint job on my 2005 saber 1100

Sad to see such a nice setup go to waist. Salt water is a bad deal. Enjoyed the video,Tom and thanks for sharing and RIDE SAFE OUT THERE! Had to order a new fuel pump for the VFR750. I'm looking at a nice NINJA 1000R 20k on the meter.

It sucks that your hard work went to waste, but hey ho, life goes. Hopefully you'll get back into the groove and start being more positive from now on, not nice seeing you feeling down mate. Take care. 👍

Bummer about all of the water damage. Right choice but I sure like your work (would say i like watching you work but that sounds like something management would say).

1.27.25. 💁🏻‍♂️Tom, those VFD‘s are programmable for ramping down….

I have those same carbs and I wish I would of seen your video sooner because the pilot jet tip on one of them broke off in there and I was wondering if you had any useful tips on how I may proceed with getting that removed. The bike sat in my grandpas garage for the last 40 years so I have my work cut out for it

If you have a customer that brings you a 2014 Honda TRX420TE that has sat for years and nothing works. Let me know. I'm going thru that now. Initial tests after I had charged the battery did show 12V. ES will not work and no crank on anything. I can't even jump the solenoid. I added my jump pack (just incase). The shift started to work, but still no crank. I have ordered the replacement solenoid after seeing there was rust on the hot side. Only time will tell....

Electrical issues are no fun. I had a 2004 Honda Foreman 500 with lots of issues. The meter was in such horrible shape that I had to get a new one. just to see what the heck was wrong with it. When I did get the meter it kept saying the same code. I can't remember the number now but it was the TPS code kept flashing. There were lots of issues from the carb being so horrible, that a replacement card had to be purchased. Now here is the kicker, as stated earlier about the flashing TPS sensor. After numerous times to adjust and purchasing a tester for multiple TPS sensors. The only way to fix this issue was to purchase the OEM carb from Partzilla. Lots of waster time trying to figure that one out.

Hi, do you konw if any of the valkyrie parts from factory have any asbestos on it? Thanks heaps.

I have this one and I want to do the same exhausts one on each side…besides the exhausts what else I need….🎉

Must be those horseapple ranch exhaust.

Z 9000 with wheelie bar

Hurry up chit chat i wanna ride it now

Hi mate definitely rust had that a few times working on “stored “ bikes comes out for ages - love your work regards Jim

Yep, swingarm needs to come off, another job for MOTORESTO Enjoyed the video Tom and RIDE SAFE OUT THERE!

That is a shame, she was very nice when she left you a few years back, now 😢

I know how you feel, last year I made a SLR650 that stood 3 years in the rain. Was a mess as well. 😢😢 Videos on my channel.

Don't be too upset at the owner. Life happens to us all. They should be totally transparent with you though. Great channel and I always enjoy your videos. A lot of $ and time to get this back on the road. Surprised the owner is doing that.

not a nice one to do.

All of that hard work you did on transforming that "Circus" monstrosity into a decent looking bike.........WASTED, no wonder you peed off, I know I would be too Tom. Best of luck getting it fixed.......AGAIN!!!!!

Enjoyed the video, Tom. Hope it all works out like you want/need. Thanks for sharing and RIDE SAFE OUT THERE!

Boy I envy you Tom, maybe one day I can get to play with all that cool stuff. Still trying to get my last year in at FD, but then have to pay full price for medical insurance for wife and I until I hit 65.

Very interesting video Tom. I saw Ichabod come into the shop, was he reminding you to get in the house before your wife got mad? 🤣

Im looking at a 2003. If I needed to get this done, approximately how much would it cost?

A very needed masterclass since my VFR is acting up a lil bit. Thanks a ton 😄

Im a new subscriber. I love this channel. Great sense of humor

I found your video when my Kobalt compressor, which came with a 3 year warranty, failed in this manner. I bought it 3 years and 1 month ago. The Chinese have this down to a science.

Seems if I had your tools and expertise, I'd chuck that crap part and make a new one out of good USA steel. Just sayin'.

I LOVE YHIS CHANNEL!!

Thank you! My Honda Ruckus was doing the exact same thing and your video was very helpful.

Very good and entertaining too. Well done.

Another great video tom! can’t wait to get down there and enjoy some riding out to say hello- and watch the sunset for the first time on the Gulf Of America 🇺🇸!! make the weather nice for us at least for a day or two the first couple weeks of february! It’s supposed to be in the single digits here in virginia this weekend.

Where can I buy some needle dick pliers? Great vid.

Love the machining videos. Something about machining metal is very satisfying.

In french please?

Tom, I enjoyed the video . Nice work. Thanks for sharing and look forward to the next episode. RIDE SAFE OUT THERE!

Excellent physics lesson thankyou! When reinstalling the hydraulic one. It's normal to turn the engine in the normal direction until it pops out?

great video, i just bought a 1987 HONDA Magna VF 700, it was parked for a long time i got it running and when i drive the bike taking off is good when i give it a little throttle i hear a thonking noise once i take off it drives good, but when i slow down in 1rst gear, give it a little gas it does it again, that thonking or clanking noise after watching your video i think thats what i am hearing the bike only has 19,000 miles what are your thoughts

Wow. I think you just solved my problem. I noticed those tangs yesterday and wondered why they were there. Lol

Replace.

Awesome video 💪

I have taken the carbs from the left side several times. That is without disturbing the coolant bypass. You do need to remove the thermostat cable and shroud from the right side so there's room to angle the carbs as they come out from the left. Regarding the throttle cable I use a couple of long Ampro 10mm wrenches that angle ¼ of a turn each time... patience.

Nice show!

Can you add the Handy Video you saw for the lubricant and rebuild. Thanks

I’m just curious why you don’t adjust them while it’s running? Typically motorcycles are synchronized while running. Hum?
