Africa Twin Sprocket and Chain Replacement
Переглядів 17614 днів тому
Let's dive all the way in to replacing the chain and sprockets on our 2022 Africa Twin. We will be using a chain rivet tool that's pretty cool and checking slack on the chain afterwards.

1984 Honda Goldwing Single Carb Swap Heated Intake Testing.
Переглядів 14121 день тому
Today I am going to test if adding heat to the intake of a single carb swap Honda Goldwing will improve idle and throttle response. Adding heat to a single carb swap seems to follow the same setup as the vehicle we harvest the carbs from (VW Beetle 34 PICT-3) and seems to help atomize fuel and prevent condensation, but does it matter on a liquid cooled Honda engine? We'll see. To be fair, I am ...

Переглядів 1443 місяці тому
Behold the mighty XT350, an offroading workhorse, and a mighty fine steed. Come along and let's see if we can get this guy running again. I am trying to save old dual sports from the junk yard one at a time. This guy had an owner who just didn't know how to fix it, he tried but just made it worse.
Honda XL250R Seat Cover Replacement
Переглядів 193 місяці тому
This is part of a longer restoration of a 1984 Honda XL250R Dual Sport. I have decided to fix up a couple older dirt bikes to keep them from the trash. The other is a Yamaha of similar vintage, and this pretty little Honda. Tune in for the rest of the restoration videos.
Yamaha XT350 Carb Rebuild
Переглядів 2404 місяці тому
This is another long format video of cleaning the carb on my 1985 Yamaha XT350 project bike. We didn't get to fire it up due to more repairs needed on this bike and waiting on parts. There will be an engine breakdown and rebuild coming up so if you want to see what's next please subscribe. As usual, I post videos if I don't find what I'm looking for and feel I can be helpful to others. This is ...
Seat Concepts XR650R Install
Переглядів 3675 місяців тому
Today we tackle something many XR650R owners complain about, the seat. Honda is one of the best if not THE best at making engines that are reliable and are actually built to last. The one thing Honda seems to always fail at is their seats. My Africa Twin was excruciating, and my BRP is the same. It's a 2X4 and a slippery one at that. So let's rip the old one off and staple us a new saddle so we...
XR650R Update on Repairs/adjustments since dual sport conversion
Переглядів 2056 місяців тому
There were a few things that just aren't quite right and could use some fixing from the original dual sport conversion. First is the blinkers were hitting the fuel tank and breaking. Second, the instrument cluster that previously didn't work needed a bit of love to actually work. Lastly, the foot pedal brake light switch sucks so we need to put a hydraulic switch in there. The food pedal switch...
XR650R Full Dual Sport Light Kit and Charge System

This is the long format video of my 2007 Honda XR650R transforming to a street legal dual sport. If you like hanging out in the garage working on stuff, this may interest you. Anything I do to this bike will be basically the same for most dirtbikes so you can do it yourself if you like. I did not buy a kit, I pieced all my own stuff together the way I wanted it. As usual, I post videos if I don...

Basic overview of what to look for when adding the accessory plug to Africa twin. The reason I’m uploading this is to help someone else visualize their install before they start removing plastics. I like to watch an install video before I start a project.

65L Top Box on 2022 Africa Twin, Bonus Passenger Armrests Installed
Wrong, the bike must be on the central stand or similar just after turned 5 minutes.....
I have the bike straight up. The kickstand is on my foot so the bike is level. Thanks for watching and commenting
Is that a 650l cluster?
It is, the speedometer hooks right up to the stock cable and works perfectly (gps tested accurate), even has the backlight on. I also ran the blinkers and the brights through the cluster bulbs as well so everything works except the neutral light.

When I first got mine going, I didn't use heat. It was fine for a few minutes idling, then it would start to sputter and run rich and spit drops of gasoline out the tail pipes. After that, it would take a few minutes to warm up and then no problem. Even now, my heat will completely turn off about 30 minutes into the ride. I do believe the plastic has some unexpected properties.
if you get rid of that stock seat cover i would like to buy it !?
Dude, you not gonna make it. Very nice try to copy, but you are in the limbo. Regards. You have no idea what you are doing. I would advise you to stop this crap.
Definitely the most original XR650r video ever
@@adriandonavanduplessis395 thanks
@JGMOTORSPORTSGUY the entertainment and wit value makes your work awesome to watch
Wow. It’s like your harness is longer than mine by the CDI or something. Way too much stress on mine for my comfort.
Could be, I did loosen everything up and massage mine in that direction quite a bit. The big fat zip tie under the gas tank holds a lot of tension, I loosened that one to get more slack.
Man I wish Honda still made these.
Greetings from Germany 💯🤘👍👍👍

Great details. I have an Africa Twin and was wondering is this the right bike to complement the Twin. Do you mind sharing What year it is and How much you had to pay for it?
It's a 2007 I bought it brand new. I paid 5k OTD brand new. Used bikes in good condition will be 3500 to 5000 right now. Compared to the Africa, this is light and nimble, but still very powerful. I like to say I have the king of Baja and the king of Dakar in my garage. I did have a cr250 as a super lightweight bike just to round off the collection but I just stopped riding it so it got sold. These two bikes do cross over a bit in what they do but also cover all types of riding I do so at the moment I'm complete. I'm in Southern California so the XR is made for high speed desert riding which is perfect, that's almost all we have.
❤ @@fatfingergarage Do you know how much does dual sport conversion and dmv expenses at an average cost?
@@aronPru2660 I used dirt legal for the registration it was 500. As far as conversion cost, here is my list including tools and other items for an XR650. Pretty complete list a.co/ct4oRVl
@@fatfingergarage Thank you.
Thanks for the video. Do you know how many miles on that bike?Also what windscreen is that?
I don't know how many miles, it only comes with a trip odometer from the factory that goes to 100 miles. I guess maybe 10k, I bought it new in 2007 and only recently started riding on the streets. Windscreen is a generic one from amazon, a.co/d/4VhFfjO
All parts I used on the dual sport conversion are here. a.co/ct4oRVl
❤@@fatfingergarage Thank you for the details.
Can you make a video explaining and showing in depth how you wire the battery to charge?
Also what reg rec did you use
@@jaenoma3839 I am doing a stator upgrade right now, we can go into detail soon. As far as this one, I used the two wires going to the rear OEM light as my two AC input wires to the reg. the other two are just the battery connectors. I used a simple 4 wire regulator to make life simple. You can see all the parts I've used on this bike on my Amazon list. a.co/ct4oRVl
Well done
Nice video. Thanks.
relatable
I scheduled you a doctor's appointment be there at 2pm tomorrow
Been drinking motor oil since the 60's, never hurt yet. I'll never get arthritis this way LOL.
DUDE IS THIS SATIRE?! IDK 😭😭
Gotta Watch the full length oil change video to find out.
Jeez that looked too real...
My man treated that oil like chocolate 👍 Mechanic Approved
Isn't this a reupload? I'm getting a strong case of deja vu!
lol yes, I was going to move all my Africa twin videos to a separate account. Thanks for watching again. More moving over soon.
