It was an SAE power cord, one went to a radar detector, and a shift light that he never hooked to an RPM signal. Some people also hook up small screens with a rear view camera to display so they don’t have to run mirrors.
This 👆.... this is exactly what I was looking for, thank you!
@@RKMotorsports That particular cord is for heated riding gear. I ran the same stuff when i commuted on my bike. The jacket plugs in to the cord and the gloves plug into the jacket
yup camera set up

Pro-Tip use a wire-mesh over your oil bucket to catch any bolts and screws you don't want them falling into dirty oil.
Putting the damage aside it looks like the dude cared for the bike quite well. It's really clean.
Just going to forget about the weedwacker line holding the entire tail back on the bike? 😂
Kawasaki brother ! How are you ? Thanks 🙏
@@CaptainCooter and one engine bolt missing and the other was too long.
@@tesseract2365 you have to order those bolts not easy to find around
@@chriscs9080 Could of just went to any hardware store and made something work with actual bolts , depending on what type of coated bolts you get they cost in the cents or by weight... Could of found something else that worked and looked better
In our throwaway society it's very nice to see a machine restored to its former glory. Looking forward to seeing the final sale price
You should do videos on how to find good bikes for good price to fix
Your work is extremely meticulous, I love watching these builds! You got a great deal on this one, a few snags but you masted it as always. Always enjoy your videos, I’m definitely excited to see your channel/ business grow!
Thank you! Each bike has it's own surprises and hidden damages once I start taking them apart, but that is what adds to the uniqueness of rebuilding each one!
FYI - that oil filter which gave you a hard time - it was one from K&N which has a hex head on top of it which is meant to be used for extraction of the filter by a ratchet or a wrench ;-)
Heh heh ... a hex head ... but, who has a racthet? Gota love K&N and all the other cool manufacturers that either hex head, or reverse so a socket extension fits! I hate shops that put them on so tight!
He knew that and probably stripped that 1st
Yeah but they usually shear straight off 😂
By far this is the best video I have ever seen about rebuilding a damaged bike.
You were very thorough and gave us the exact information we needed like how many hours and the cost of the parts.
Keep up the good work and Iike to see more of your videos.
I love when you do the "what it cost you" after. Gives me hope so I can start doing this too.
Man if I could get a used R6 for $600 😔 You can't get a beat up 125 scooter for that much where I live.
Just bought an 05 r6 last week for $500 it even runs flawlessly... man...
@@jampakdd Where did u get that from? 👀
@@gustavodomingues6929 Nice guy who clearly didn't know anything about bikes and hadn't run it in years... all it really needed was a back wheel, a new battery, and the exhaust plugged. (it was cracked in half)
Lol in my country, an H2 costs $80,000, and A brand new Cbr600rr costs $55,000 if converted to USD
@@kenjikunuwu3644 Suffer I guess...
i also got a motorcycle, had 2 1980 yamaha xs650 because i wanted an old bike, had to sadly sell them since my dad said no, moved out, purchased a 1977 kawasaki kz650, and man, this project is what im lovin, just finished the electronics, working on the oil, getting new gaskets for everything, break lines, valves, forks and everything. sat for 10 years between 2 rotting trailers not running, no gas, no rust in the 2 gas tanks i got. its by far gonna be a fun winter project for me personally. the 2 yamaha xs650 were to easy with carb cleans, and i just wasnt attached to it as much as i am attached to this kz650.
For stuck oil filters just stick a screwdriver right through it and use it to lever on , your going to replace it anyway .
Love how you go through and price everything out afterwards. And you are meticulous which is awesome! Keep up the videos you got yourself a new subscriber. Thank you!
That cable is for a slow charger like an optimate. It's wired to the battery so you can trickle charge it as and when required without having to removed seat/ battery etc.
I've had 2 of these. An 05 and an 09 R6s. Loved both of them. Great bike.
Glad to hear I just got a 08 r6 and I get alot of hate saying not a good first bike but I'm safe on it responsible rider what do you think any advice will help thanks 👍
I live it and don't want to sell it
Check ur bill of sale, small print, "this is a rental of $600, all modifications done while under rental will remain when bike is returned to owner"
I wish i had a mechanic like you here in italy
🔥🔥🔥 I really love your rebuilds bro. Hopefully you'll reach 1m subs. Your rebuilds are sooo satisfying to watch.
A fan from Philippines 🇵🇭
eyy fellow pinoy
Thank you Alryan! I truly appreciate the support and motivation!
@@RKMotorsports Yes. support from the Philippines 👍

For broken bolts, get a pneumatic engraving pen. The high frequency vibes will absolutely roll out a broken fastener that hammer and punch doesn't touch.
You need a bench!! It is so easy to accidentally stand on a part or piece of fairing and the resulting damage can be very costly. Also, consider investing in a hydraulic ramp - they save all that bending down (your back will thank you when you get older) and makes working on bikes so much more enjoyable. Having said that, a great job and I always enjoy your videos.
Ya what GM said,,,,nice little side Hustle you got going on as well
I cant even find Chinese scooters for £600 ($700ish) in the UK!
You need to look for to look for the broken stolen recovered models at police auctions lol
Join biker bay on facebook pal loads on there
@@chrismcginty3687 thanks man :)
I second the stolen recovered/salvage auctions. You'd be surprised with how cheap they go. There isn't as much demand as cars and you can pick up a bargain at the right time.

Recently been looking for a bike that was in a small accident to fix up and I came across your channel. Instant sub. Great informative content. Looking forward to more videos!!
Thanks Joshua! Good luck on your search! They are out there!
those bolts missing on the engine is probaly from the frame slider :)
I wonder if I was alone with "That's a frame slider bolt you idiot!" LOL But love the videos. I do not agree with that replacement bolt.. How ghetto! Might as well put the fishing line back...
Yeah thats what I was figuring, I have seen it a ton in the past where either the longer bolts are left in there or the bolts are completely removed.
Just getting ready to type the same!
@@RKMotorsports I love this Yamaha r6 I would love a deal like that I wouldn't mind buying something like that for $600 I'd atleast trade the stock parts for stunt parts anyway I'll be following you on instagram looking forward to your comment I live in Florida
@@StrawDragon p9l)]⁹
Awesome... best bike channel. Just bought a 07 flip r6. Needs battery... tank side panels... and service.
Nice video of the rebuilt. I prefer the bike in blue, but that is personal taste :).
Keep it going 👍🏻
Thank you! I wish I could have saved the blue fairings since thats my favorite color, but because they were damaged I just went with a new set
"Informative videos" always a fan of builds, love seeing you get your job done appreciate all the time and hardwork
New fan here. I don't have a bike except for a bicycle. Since I can't afford these kinds of bikes, watching this is an inspiration for me that I want to work harder and maybe someday I'll have one of my own. Even that someday is somewhat impossible. Thank you for the know-hows. I'll be checking more of your videos. Ride safe brother!
Finally!! someone who knows the value of an impact driver for disassembly!
You did one of the best motorcycle rebuild video I ever seen on UA-cam so 👍🏾 to you man
12:50 It's kind of risky putting thread locker that way, it can break the cover by hydro lock
That wire thing is most likely a battery tender so the battery doesn’t die when sitting the led light is to show if it’s charged and the thing dangling by the radiator it’s to plug it into a wall mounted box that regulates the charge when parked for ages
Dude you have OCD. I need a mechanic like you !!! The pain you went through to replace glass cover on gauge and all. Hats off to you 🤤
Was my first track bike, those bikes are underrated IMO
Got an 05 R6 as my first bike 6 months ago and love it. Thought I was gonna end up selling it n buying an r1 but im definitely keeping it
yep, still why i have mine
I've got one,you got yourself a steal mate and I've have had a oil leak on the stator cover.
What a steal of a deal, 600 bucks r u kidding me, why can't I find a deal even SIMILAR to urs. Where can I look to find bikes amg deals like this, thanks. Great job on the rebuild
Feels so good watching an old bike get into its brand new-like condition, sooo satisfying!
I like how he stacks his water bottles on the stand like "man, these repairs are something, so we gotta be hydrated"
A true Hydro Homie.
First time watching your videos. Holy crap this was awesome! I've got so much more videos to binge now!
Same
As a tip, it's not a good idea to squirt threadlock (or any liquid) into a threaded recess. It's a good way to crack the aluminium as the bolt tries to compress the liquid.
Love the Content!!watching you rebuild bikes is like a therapy!!
Great stuff with the CBR rebuild as well!!
You earned a Subscriber!!
Love from India🇮🇳
Nice. Some things that I think would take the work/output to the next level:
- Torque the bolts to spec
- Use loctite on the bolts
- Use standard bolts (the frame bolt)
- Wear disposable gloves
You forgot
-clean the bike before you start so you arent working on a filthy heap
-clean things as you go, instead of putting new fairings over dirty headers
- service the brake calipers, lube pivot points, copperslip bolts, try to make the bike better than you found it
22:00 that's a kit camera for bikes, usally the LCD is in the front near to clocks and the camera under tail light. that way we don't have the need to look to the mirrors on both sides to check the rear. The cam covers a 180 degree view.
Hey man just found your channel and probably watched about half your vids already. Glad to finally find a bike rebuilding channel! Just one request, can you maybe throw in a little more talking/teaching. Lots of the really popular car rebuilders throw in a pretty good mix of time lapse and explanations/tips. Not a critisism, just a request.
Love your channel, keep up the great work!
Hi Blake! Glad you're here! I try to throw in some tips and explanations throughout my videos to be informative and create meaningful content, but at the same time I try not to ramble on and talk too much. Its a fine line but I will definitely take your feedback into consideration for my future videos. Thank you!
I hear ya, but I think most people watching are probably like me...I think. We are looking to pick up some tips and tricks from a pro tech. The entertainment comes from learning while watching a cool bike getting rebuilt. Plus you're really good and conveying information in an interesting way. I started watching the abandoned moto vlog cuz the WR250R, and ended up watching the whole thing. Usually I can't stand moto vlogs, but yours was definitely interesting.
Anyway, I'm just some guy in the comments speaking from no experience except watching, what do I know lol. Thanks again for the great content. Looking forward to the next episode.
I believe the cable loom you remove are laser jammer cables. And if I am not mistaken, the control unit is still in the bike under rear seat cowl.

Any time I hear "I only paid..." followed by "... my friend" I instantly get mad...
Sometimes aluminium bolts are used on exposed parts, so they fail in a crash rather then caused damage to what they are connected too.
love this man, so much good info from watching this
Love your work man, every video is better from the next I swear 😂
you stole that bike from him for that price lol
YOU ARE EXCELLENT IN REBUILDING BIGBIKE SIR.... WOOOOWWW!!! I WISH I WILL JAVE A BIKE LIKE THIS... YOU ARE VERY BRILLIANT AND SKILLFUL OF THIS JOB SIR... WATCHING HERE IN CEBU, PHILIPPINES..
Damn thats a steal right there. Wish i lived in a bigger city cause its impossible to find any bike under 2k that isnt completely thrashed and would cost more to fix than its worth.
Damn, wish I had a friend like you, would sure make my riding life easier! 😎
He has a magic parts box 😎
you did really good job, and I'm planning to buy a 03-05 R6 this summer ❤️🔥
Thank you! And good choice! They are great bikes!
keep going i love watching your videos, and I'm learning lot of things
I'm glad you guys like the R6s I just got an 08 r6 for my first bike I'm getting some hate saying it's a horrible first bike but I'm a responsible rider and I respect the bike I don't mess around in it any advice would help love it and don't want to sell it
Your videos are so much fun to watch and makes me want to start fixing and flipping Motorcycles as well. You would be surprised by how cheap you can get a used not working or broken motorcycle scooter for. I bought a Tao Tao scooter for $50 not running been sitting up for years and all it needed was a new Carb and battery..
my little brother enlisted my help yesterday to pick up an 02 vfr800A (abs model) for 600 bucks. clear title. just needs fairings and a tps and it should be right as rain
I thought those wires might have been for a electric jacket for cold weather.
Every one of the r6’s I have rebuild has had a crack in the gauge cluster case like yours 🤔
I don't even know how it happens but it's always on gauges even without damage
@@RKMotorsports maybe a R6 gauge ghost
You can always have a glass maker make a new piece for it so it doesnt crack again head the plastic up till the glue weakens pull the plastic out and carefully replace it with a glass piece
@Rk motorsport i think you reece a bike build off .
to change an oil filter i just hammer a screw driver through the filter and unscew it like that if it's too hard to come off
and i noticed that you are very honest with the build sir... thanks....
6:36 out with the boys on a pearly white
My man caught it! Lol that pic was from a few years ago. Good times lol
robbie k never misses. great vid man loving the constant content
Thanks brother! Gotta stay consistent!
The filter was a K&N - they all havean 11/16" - or 17mm nut and through hole. The thru hole is for track day safety wiring but the 17mm / 11/16" is for removing the filter with a socket or wrench.
Unfortunately the nut was stripped on that oil filter so I wasn't able to use that to remove it…
@@RKMotorsports Ah, that makes sense now.
"This bike won't stop leaking oil! It MUST be the oil filter!!" 😆
Oouuh.. my dream bike😍
But my wallet prefers to wake up rather than dream about it 😂🤣😭
Good afternoon from Indonesia 🇲🇨
the price of the bike after including the rebuild cost is cheaper than a ninja 250 in my country
that is 250cc, r6 ain't that shit low on cc
@@cy1480 you missed his point
Bro I can see your breath! Get a heater in there! Even a little diesel one will do lol. You should do some shop upgrades and organizing and let us watch! Love your videos and love your work. True craftsmanship sir 👌 any customer will know they are safe riding away on something you have worked on. Keep em coming sir! 👍😊
This guy has inspired me to by wrecked moto's and rebuild them coz it's so easy if your mechanically minded..
I wish to have this kind of bike.. hahahaha Its cool bike 😍
Where do you find all these bikes for such a low price ?
By the way, great vid man, keep it up
It's not what you know
My man spent 600 on the bike and 139.00 on parts, damn it! People here in Florida asking 2500 for a 2003 gsxr 600 with a blown motor. I need to move where this man lives! I need me some 600 dollar deals!
No.1 fan from Philippines 🇵🇭💯
Thanks Brother!!!
That’s dope
When you throw a bolt in, what torque setting do you generally apply?
common sense torque
Even if you paid for the fairing kit and tank you would have a little less than $2000 into it.
Your a beast bro, just watched the whole gsxr 600 from dust to pulling awesome torque!!
Thanks Levi! Appreciate the support 🙏
The cables were a battery tender cable you leave it plugged in like that and when you park your bike for the winter/off season you leave your bike plugged in so the battery doesn’t drain and die
What was the point of the image? Took me a little while to pause one it.
A 636 at 6:36? Coincidence? I think not.
Very good price for this r6, also great rebuild. In my country you can buy a scooter at that price or maybe a really bad wrecked bike
New sub here from Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 my dream bike 😍
Hahaha 44k lang hahaha awit
Made me want to build my own bike even tho I don’t know much about it dope video
Wow, are you actually a bike mechanic or where does all of that knowledge come from? I just stumbled across your channel and I just freaking love it!!!
I love your channel man. I watch these rebuilds EVERY day. And I've used a bunch of them to rebuild my Suzuki gsx600f katana. It was absolute junk when I bought it,only thing nice was it's fairings and motor. I hand rebuilt the entire bike and I owe all my knowledge too you. I really hope I become a bike mechanic this year,I've been working so hard at studying and learning it these past 6 years
ok nice vid .. in the UK from 2005 the R6 had usd forks radisl breaks and single weld cast frame that USA model seems a bit of a mish mash .. frame swingarm look yight bur front end bodywok is diff //
Cant wait to get my SV650S rebuilt by you this summer.
He doing my 1000rr rn my son loves going there seeing the bikes all torn apart my garage is dirt toys robs is street toys lol
Rob is the bomb when it comes to restoring bikes, no capp
Yes i watch all video n look for my rr 😆
@@babybearjoe we get it bro you have a 1000rr 🤦♂️
Damn salty much
The wire looks like a harness for under frame LED lights for night time visual effects in different color.
Stab a long screwdriver through the oil filter. A bit messy but lots of leverage to get it going.
That was going to be my next move if the rubber oil filter wrench didn't work
@@RKMotorsports crazy how people can torque those things on haha
Lol those oil filters are super easy to over tighten because of the socket head! That was the oil leak issue on my cbr I bought.
Very easy to overtighten with those end nuts!
It's a loom for a radio and speaker attachment for a motorbike.!
In Vietnam to own a 2009 R6 costs about 10000 USD including tax
you are owning my biggest dream
Incas eanyone is interested a 06 R6 that is not of the new shape is actually identical to a 2004 R6 the 2005 R6 had USD gold forks and improvements all over but what we are seeing here is actually a 2004 bike that Yamaha wanted to move alongside the new shape 2006.
Correct, technically it is an R6s
9:14 If you are going to get a "dress up bolt kit" Pay the ticket and get the titanium ones. Dont deal with broken bolts.
Awesome videos! I have learned a lot watching your videos. I have been working on slowly for the past 2 years on a 1999 Suzuki SV650 with under 10,000 miles on it.
I bought a yzf-r 125 for 400€ i put on some new vents on it and it works now like a charm i also sold it couple weeks ago for 2k€
Love watching your videos bro if I had space where I lived id be buying bikes and fixing them up just like you. Keep the channel going !!!
LOOK UP DAVE MOSS TUNING FOR HOW TO SET THAT FRONT WHEEL PROPERLY,,,THERE ARE METHODS TO ENSURE CORRECT ALIGNMENT AND TIGHTENING SEQUENCES, JUST HURLING THE BRAKES BACK ON LIKE THAT YOU CAN END UP WITH STICTION ISSUES IN THE FORKS, UNEVEN PAD WEAR,
Huge fan frm India I want to work with you have a huge intrest in bike rebuilds and I do learn alot watching your videos alot, I have no engineering degree or something but just my intrest your determination and work hard realy helps me going
I really enjoyed the video tours but it was more enjoyable to see the bike with a new look because this bike is my favorite among bikes
Radar and lightar detector would hook up to it and the one was a shift light
Really wanted to see what it sold for and how many miles with overall profit that's one thing I like that you do in these videos
The K&N oil filter has a 17mm "nipple" to tighten or loosen it from the motor. No need for oil filter straps but also not an excuse to overtighten the oil filter neither.
Did you not see him try that at first. Lol
