I started riding motorcycles when I was 6 years old. I love riding and working on motorcycles. I ain’t no mechanic but I play one in my garage. Welcome!
Riding Yamaha XT500 and trying out insta360 x4.
Got the insta360 camera to try out and so far I like it. Love being able to edit different angles. So much better than my go pro.

I need y’all’s help deciding which gas tank to use on my xt500. Which one do you like better? The black one with red 1978 decals or the 1976 tank with decals installed incorrectly but overall looks good. Thanks!

Flat tracking the rebuilt 1996 Honda XR 100- part 4
Habe meine SR 500 ca. 180.000 Km bisher gefahren. Habe von 1990 bis heute keinen E- Starter gebraucht. Habe schon zweimal den Kolben gewechselt und die KW und Nockenwelle ,Ventile und Sitze und Führungen und Steuerketten gewechselt. Aber ich schaffe es noch immer den Kickstarter runter zu treten. Und nein sie tritt nicht zurück. Kickstarter Abschlagblech muss okay sein , dann passiert das nicht.
I would wrap the exhaust pipe with heat tape, it makes a noticeable difference in performance, especially in hot weather.
Wont they rust really bad though? I am going to add a heat shield for sure.
Tank decals look great the way they are, dont worry
Vintage XT! Nice.😊

White tank for me
Yeah I like the white tank way better.
As a kid of the 60’s our family from Hattiesburg was staying in one of the rooms when JFK was assassinated. Stafford Springs along w/ Gulfport were two of our favorite getaways. I sure miss those days growing up in the Deep South as we were very blessed. Now I’m stuck in Kansas but great people and beautiful Flinthills so I shouldn’t complain I just miss the Southern culture!
It looks great already here.
Nice , what kind of swingarm is that?
It’s a Motolanna super tuff from Thailand.
Looks like an interesting build, look forward to seeing what you do next. I did my tank with the same decals, a nightmare of a job, but finally got it done after two attempts. 12v conversion and big bore front pipe, these bikes are very customisable without ruining them!
Yeah the decals are not fun to install. Which using water to install them helps. Getting the decal to separate from the plastic film is the hardest part. Yeah 500s are great bikes, Yamaha did good making the 500 and 650.
Black and red tank is a no go with the gold rims. White tank is fine
Leaky cap seal if it rains on your bike the o ring could need replaced you might be burning rain water. Or not burning let’s say.
I have a 1975 850 Norton Commando Mark III Electric Start, Last US Production Year. Been in Re-build state for over 12 years Now ! So Don't feel left in the Cold ! That's how long my HEAD work has took till 2 weeks ago . He JUST got it Back from the LAST attempt of welding up the Mooned-out Blow-out when I lost a Head Gasket in Downtown Chicago in 83,YES that was the day I DIDN"T Pull the Plug,like an Idiot. But i wasn't gonna leave my Bike Downtown !! I started the Rebuild a little a that,but took it Home down-state later to have welded and milled. That didn't turn out perfect ! Still Blowing Gaskets ! That meant not Flat ! I got in contact with M.A.P. Cycle in Florida,sent it to them.told them to take time & do what's necessary,valves & All ! These Heads have TONS of Porosity in them !! And it was .008 WARPED ! At Least,All HAND GROUND !! That Takes FOREVER !! My Head was His WORST NIGHT MARE !! BUT, Come a SUNNY DAY, he sent it to a NY shop also for Last Minute Welding,and Behold,it's DONE ! I had to have time to to get my $$$ in Order too,so it wasn't his end ! He has worked ALL this time with me !!!! WHO would do that ?!?! M.A.P. Cycle is the BEST !! And now I'm gonna get my MOD parts too !!! THANKS MARINO !!!!!!!!! 😎
Man I’m glad you’re getting it back together. I heard Franz and Grubb does good work. I didn’t know Marino did head work. It took way too long for me to get my Norton engine rebuilt, but it’s done and runs really good.
Put the fuel petcock in the reserve position! You're low on gas.
No it was the ignition coil causing the problems. Bike runs perfect now.
Lol my neighborhood
That's were I'm from
I have a venting problem as well, ... "What kind of LOSER parks in Handicap spot? ",... Answer... YOU.
You’re kidding right? Is this the same guy that keeps commenting on my Norton. If it is bro, get a life man.
I can hear that beautiful, classic Norton Commando gasping for more air when that throttle is twisted with that single Mikuni carb. It doesn't sound the way a Commando should sound. Why compromise the horsepower and torque with a single carb especially after all that hard work?
Every bike I build from now to eternity will have a single mikuni carburetor on it. If you got a problem with that, don’t watch my videos.
Where did you get the electric starter?
The vintage spoke
Honda Xl 500 S specs
so cool 😎
Please,could you get the diam.to the puller that you are using
Hi! Could you tell me the what type of puller.i bought one but it is 27 mm diam, the hole is 26.thank
It’s a M27x1.0 left hand thread puller I believe.
wow you put that $$$ electric start kit on
Ya know the little pin on the timing chain thats supposed to pop in and out while the bike is running? If that isn't popping in and out when bike is running but timing chain was adjusted, what might be the issue?
Are you talking about the cam chain adjuster? I would remove it and dissemble it. Make sure the plunger is moving freely back and forth. Also is the chain guide in good condition. It will wear out over time and is the cam chain new? The chain will stretch out and you could adjust it all the way in and not see plunger moving. If you’re hearing alot of engine noise, it could be the chain.
Thanks for the reply. No not new. I bought this from another guy. I assume the engine has never been opened. Its a future project. The bike can idle fairly rattly sometimes. Im currently trying to upgrade the lights and indicators and reduce the horrendous wiring mess that's currently on it...its quite daunting.@@Mobikesmoproblems
@@pmacc3557 yeah wiring sucks. If the wiring harness is a mess and you can afford a new harness, I would get a new one. You’ll save a lot time and stress. Good luck to you brother.
oh i know I was thinkn to get a new harness but...as mine is kicker only (no battery) id have to figure out to add a battery - the cost is not an issue. I would feel like a quitter if i dont tackle it myself...il see how it goes...@@Mobikesmoproblems
@pmacc3557 you can do it, just don’t get in hurry like I do a lot of time and have to redo my work. Do it right the first time and you’re golden.
Il try this on my '83 sr 500 engine in the future
We're can I get an intake like that?
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Where can I buy this starter kit?
I bought mine from vintage spoke in USA. You can buy directly from nuts and bolts in France. Rex’s speed shop sells it, maybe kedo does too.
this is the worst crash in history
Sounds terrible with that single Mikuni. You can hear it gasping for more mixture when you give it some throttle. For owners considering the single Mikuni the Commando will lose it's performance at 3000 rpm and above. With the dual Amals the Norton Commando keeps the acceleration, the torque and the grunt it was engineered to have.
Sounds terrible, gasping for air lol! Jeez man, I saved this Norton from death and you just have negative shit to say, thanks bro.
It does sound weak with that single carb and is weaker. Once they put on the single many owners don't really know what it used to sound like with dual carbs or even how a Norton Commando should really perform.
Too bad it has a single Mikuni. That Commando has lost the acceleration, the torque and the grunt it was engineered to have. Dual Amal Premiers are one answer to get it's performance back.
@@MobikesmoproblemsI'm sure you're happy with the single Mikuni but I only comment for Commando owners thinking about changing their carbs. Single carb advocates rarely discuss the performance loss when they change to a single Mikuni. New Amal Premiers are $445 for a pair compared to the Keihins at $1200+. And that Mikuni carb is not new technology either. And there is lots of 'ancient technology' on a 50 year old Commando besides the Amals. I prefer to keep the dual carbs and keep the performance.
No reason to have two batteries. If the starter is 12V, that battery can also power the lights, horn and ignition, and be charged by the stator.
Thanks man, you’re definitely correct. I decided to use a capacitor for lights and have the starter and battery separate. Just in case I wanted to remove the starter for whatever reason.
Well done
This brought back so many memories. Thank you so much. Also, do you have the V8 booster pack that went in the bed of the truck?
I had so many of these😂😂😂

Maybe your maintanance is junk. I've had a few tube frame Buells and love the bikes. Get a Honda.
It’s already fixed. I would choose a broke down Buell over a Honda any day of the week.
@@Mobikesmoproblems So why the "junk" label? Ride in peace brother
@@douglas9607 just joking man. Buells are incredible, no disrespect to the brand.
Dude can you still buy these? I remember no more than 8 years old had black and purple mam it was fast and cool back then. Still got room full haha
You can buy old ones on eBay for 350. It’s crazy what they are selling for these days. They need to re release them.
I remember the TT 500. Not a XT.
May I ask why you are taking the bottom end apart?
Love your work this bike needed help my sr500 runs great no noise from the engine why do all the videos have complete engine rebuild?
Thanks man, not sure that I understand your question. Why did I not show the complete engine build or I show too many engine rebuilds? Either way, thanks for watching and I’m currently rebuilding a xt500 thumper and I love these engines. Wish I would have gotten one sooner.
@@Mobikesmoproblems love these old thumpers my question is why every one needs a complete rebuild? These are very reliable
@thomashayes6013 gotcha! Yeah this sr had to be completely rebuilt because it was in a flood at some point. There was sand in the top end and water had gotten into the bottom end. Most times if the engine wasn’t abused it probably would not need to be completely rebuilt.
Can you recommend upgrades without a complete rebuild? Ie exhaust carb oiling systems?
This engine was also seized. I never did get the piston out of the cylinder. I had to cut the crankshaft and get it rebuilt. There was also a hole in the case I had to get repaired. It’s a small miracle that it’s running now, definitely the worst engine I’ve rebuilt.
did u use all.the originsl parts and polish them. I got a 71 750 in a 69 frame with similar rust/pittting. want to get everything all shiney like that. Love these bikes.
All the aluminum parts were polished and reused. The z plates and primary cover were professionally polished. I polished the rest of the aluminum parts. Frame was stripped and powdercoated. Wheels were rebuilt with new rims and spokes. I got a new emgo tank and painted it along with the original side covers. The list just goes on and on. A lot parts were not reused. I modernized all of the electrical. Check out my other videos on this bike, you can see all the work that went into it. I wish you the best of luck with your Norton. They are lovely machines.
no issues with powder coating? thanks for responding. I think mine is a 72 frame with 71 motor the crossover near the front. I'm doing the same as you from bottom up. looks great. love these machines too. I get it.
No issues with powder coat. I had a local guy do it for me. I had hell with the swingarm bushings and spindle and scratched the swingarm up bad and it had to be re powder coated. Only issue I remember. Powder coat is very durable but can get surface scratches pretty easily.
Heard and see on UA-cam that they have bad voltage regulators so the fix is to replace with an aftermarket not a stock.
Yeah I should have replaced with an aftermarket but I found an oem replacement. I’m just glad I finally figured out what the heck was going on with it.
Love to see the engine running. Keep it up 🤘🤝
Can't see what your doing, if you stand in front of the camra, would have been better in real time ,with close ups .
I’ll tell my film crew to do a better job next time.
