Love the channel Scotty.
Rather buy a honda lol hello scotty
Nice video, Mr. Kilmer! 👍
@@JOESSECRETGARDEN85 hello!
Scotty im looking to buy a beginner bike will you sell me yours if you can clean it up n getting running good
Og fans will remember this bike
Yes the most awesome bike ever I thought. I belive Scotty said it was a Ducati
And corvette
@@seanm7539 Scotty says it's a Japanese bike.
i like the introduction he used to have with this bike. we love the sound of it.
@Brian Lee rev up your engines !
“ look what else is in there, a dead mouse” 😂
You know you’re a good mechanic when that doesn’t phase you
He totally missed an opportunity though to show Deadmau5 in the corner when he said it since that's how you say his name
@Frank L thats fair
@Frank L you too fellow viewer
We dont shake hands but scotty grabs dead mice with bare hands😂
Wonder what Steve-O would do 🤣
Ozzy Osborne did that accidentally he doesn't enjoy biting heads off bats.
When I was a youngster, we used to tinker around with my Grandpa's 3 old cars he had sitting behind his station in a field. They were cars that customers brought in and never came back for or didn't pay for repairs. He had a '53 Cadillac that took all summer with a lot of trial and error to get running, but I finally got it to run and drive. I was really proud to get something that had sat for 14 years running again. That started my passion for auto repair.
Well what did that Caddie lack ??
Keep it going fam, we wanna know what u did w/ the Caddy
@@darrylbooc1196 The Caddy was brought to my Grandpa in for a tune-up. The car had almost 100K miles and needed a lot of work. The guy said "no" to the repairs when he found out the cost. He never came and got the car for unknown reasons. The car turned over but would not run. I changed all the spark plugs and wires, cap/rotor and it was my first time learning how to rebuild a carburetor. My Grandpa helped me with the basics but I wanted to learn on my own thru trial and error. I replaced a lot of hoses and wiring that got chewed by rodents, drained the fuel tank and cleaned it out. After about a 2 months of working on it, I got it to run. Fiddled around with the timing and fine tuning the carb.I changed the transmission fluid and oil which were all sludge by that point and in September of 1977, it was on the road for the first time since 1963. It was a fun learning experience for me.
"Now if you have a Toyota, it has a drain plug on the tank." He doing a motorcycle video and still talks about Toyota. Amazing.
I like these motorcycle videos
"Just keep pumping 'til it doesn't pump anymore." Famous words to live by.
🤣🤣
As a noob mechanic, today I learnt two thing from a 5 decade veteran mechanic: 1- how to straighten an stubborn bent plastic valve
2- there is a battery named LiFePO4 and it lasts long. Very long.
Tnx Scotty
Hey Scotty, some carb cleaning, dismantling, adjusting and maybe some more motorcycle videos? That would be great!
Scotty is out there in Tennessee living his best life
He looks so darn happy and full of energy, maybe I ought to move there! LOL
Nice old motor bike, started up and ran ok after all that time , can't beat japanese vechicles
Yup...... that's why I have a 2012 Honda Goldwing since it was new & a new Toyota Rav4 XSE hybrid which gets better gas mileage then my motorcycle.
2:18 A hair dryer or a heat gun on low (far away from the gas) can be used to soften the hose and straighten it out.
Good video! 👍
I'd like to see Scotty do motorcycle brands , reliability, maintenance, etc, similar to how he does cars and trucks.
I was surprised Scotty didn't remove the plugs and squirt oil into cylinder in case the piston was rusted. But that baby started anyway. Go Scotty!!!
I think most pistons have been aluminum for a long long time, they don't really rust. Just a thin layer of aluminum oxide and then it stops. Maybe if its a steel sleeve or iron bore it might rust but I mean it's a garage find, not a 50 year old junkyard find.
These old bike videos are just great! I started an 83 Honda CB250 and a 1980 Yamaha 200 2 stroke in October . amazing how Japanese bikes start right up after decades of sitting , needed a new battery though
The neighbors are saying, "Who the hell moved into the Kilmer's house! They're noisy as hell!"
Yes, lots of YELLING lol
@@Johnathan_Waters There goes the cul-de-sac!
They probably wont complain after he fixes their cars.
Had a Suzuki Katana 750 back in late 80s was like a lighting bolt.
Had the 600 can~o~tuna in the 90s as well as 600 Hurricane. Rate both about the same. Keeping plastics on was the biggest pain.📈🔴📉
Great!!!! Scotty!!!! It runs. I would not be that lucky.
Scotty's best line of the video, "If I was sat that many years, I wouldn't sound that good."
You know Scotty, you remind me of Columbo. You don't try to sound like a genius, but you are a genius. I love you Scotty.
& one more thing...
I love "Battery Tender" keeps my antique Buicks 6volt battery, 6 volt tractor, and my 12 volt lawnmower charge year around! Even in the cold!! It's worth the $$$$!!!
Looks like an old Katana. The racing bikes today are a lot lighter, faster and handle better.
It could still be used as a commuter or tourer.
& fairly comfortable compared to my GSXRs... feet & hand placement not so harsh.
She's Runin on 2, gonna need a good carb cleaning but after she will run like a dream 👌
Sounds like a parallel twin. I’m not familiar with that bike though. If it’s an inline 4, it’s definitely running like crap.
Your motorcycle is amazing😍 I'd love to see more, maybe even have a look into the carburetor?
Great idea with the extension. My fingers are loosing feeling. Carpel something
Scotty’s view of Toyota’s 8 speed in the Camry has changed from “don’t feel right” to “perfection and shifting like a dream”
0:52 Love how unfazed Scotty is by the Petrified Mouse 🐀 🤣👍🏻
I almost fell out of my chair LAUGHING... when he pulled out that dead mouse!! ;)
Is this the famous bike from Scotty's earliest video openers? I recognize the flying eagle sticker on it. Smiles.
I love motorcycles more than cars!
Agree...atvs, dirt bikes, motorcycles...are all fun to work on. Relatively simple and easy to wrench.
My old Yamaha started on old gasoline after 3 years sitting. These japanese motorcycles are incredible
My 19 year old Honda Harmony snow blower sat for 5 years, all it took was fresh gas and literally started on half a pull. I changed the oil but all I had was Mobil 1 10w30 so I used that, the manual says 5w30 hopefully it will be fine.
I really need to start up my old junker
At 3:32 Scotty someone lights a Cigar throws it in "WOOF" shows image of a Dog
Now I get it.
I think this motorcycle might be new intro worthy
Rev up your engiiiiines!
@@Gideon_Judges6 his old intro was.
@@swaolatulamin927 yeah you're right
Good example of why I ride metric bikes. My 83 wing (barn find with a large mouse house in the air box and mufflers). 117k miles still going strong.
Mine's been on the trailer once... (flat front tire)...& I rode it (very slowly) up the ramp...📉🔴📈
Scotty is the best channel for car info with a slight spice of humor. Love it
I just inherited The 1975 Honda CB750 four it's got a little bit of fuel on its tank too I wonder if the same thing I'll be for my bike as well I think they can let they shut the fuel off when they store it or set the bike in the garage but I'm not sure so I'm probably going to have to look in the carburetor rebuild to I'm not sure
Happy Thanksgiving Scotty
Happy Thanksgiving!
Old snowmobile trick.. any hose in the tank (sleds tanks can be hidden good and under seats etc), air compressor nozzle and blow.. displacement empties it pretty quick.
Forgot about that. Big craftsmen compressor in my van now & I've got 4 to do... thanks
@@JTA1961 Works well, good luck!
Sigh..... Hearing that thing makes me want to get a bike. Thanks Scotty.
Scotty what you were pointing at was a battery maintainer. I didn't see any LiFe Batteries.
No, it is a battery!
@@wfopete8434 There might be a battery underneath the battery maintainer what's to say its a LiFe. It could be a regular Li-Ion because that maintainer does not indicate it charges LiFe batteries they have a different cell voltage.
@@Tech-NO-City if you look at the video you will see a positive and negative post, battery tender is the manufacturer, they make maintainers and batteries also if you look closely at it in the video you will see the word lithium battery
@@wfopete8434 It clearly says maintainer on it look again.
@@Tech-NO-City I'm looking at it right now, I see lithium battery underneath his finger and it's also 12 volts battery tender is the brand not what it's doing
Scotty you make my life better. A positive force a zen master
You are the most wholesome and entertaining man on youtube as far as I am concerned. I watch your videos more than anything else on this site and I gain knowledge as well !
Yeah let's get some motorcycle in here!
“if I sat down for years I would not sound any good” -Scotty Kilmer
3:33 I guess the dog had to step outside to cut one.
Happy Thanksgiving Scotty!
Happy Thanksgiving!
You are indeed a Savage my friend. Love your upfront genuine honest channel. 😎🇺🇸🦅🙏
On something like my yamaha yzf600r , the ethanol gas will destroy the orings in the fuel inlet T-rails, if you let it sit and they dry out. Generally tho on any bike service, it is change the oil, brake fluid, check the brake pads, any grease points, wheel bearings, sprockets and chain, check the fork seals.
That motorcycle sound like me after a burrito at a Mexican restaurant rev up your engine.
What is rattling around in your gas tank? Thanks Scotty!!
The bike has a "hotrod dot" in the tail light... cool!
I thought only Harleys had them
I have a 2010 Tacoma with 5 speed Auto v6. I purchased a throttle commander type unit and installed it. It was amazing. Great fun, well worth the money
Sounds good? Sounds like it's only running on 3 cylinders to me Scotty, plus those carbs are going to need some TLC.
Yep.. looks like that no1 on the left always get the end runoff from the other carbs , the bike sitting on the side stand for a looooong time... pilot jet probably jammed
Yup!, thats gonna need ALOT more work done...4yrs sitting?, needs every fluid changed, every bearing regreased, carbs stripped & rebuilt, new tyres, brake pads & fluid, air filter, oil & filter, shocks checked, wiring loom checked, tuned and a bloody good clean!...😅
Great old bike tho...can always be resurrected with some time & effort
- Kia Kaha from New Zealand Big Papa 😁
That looks like a 600 or 750 Susie. Put 70,000 mile on one of them before it started smoking a bit of oil.
Mine '95 Katana.
But the hoses. All of them little ones needed replacement. Pain in the asp.
And the carbs to head leaked. A tiny bit of wheel bearing grease fixed that.
Balancing the carbs another pain in the asp.
That's why honda cx500s are still around...only 2cyl wi easy access & gutless so generally not ragged
@@JTA1961 You can make fun of a 600 can o tuna but not as fast the GXR 600 but but much kinder to your glutus.
They topped out at around 155 mph with the right sprockets. Actually almost the same in the twisty roads.
I like the sound of that exhaust who would want to see Scotty doing motovlog put a GoPro with a microphone on his helmet and ride around that would be pretty awesome
That Quick Edit with the dog was Very FRESH!
Been waiting for this one Scotty, cheers 👍
I just changed out the tensioner assembly on an 06 accord yesterday. There’s 3 12 mm bolts, one below the power steering pump, one in the central pivoting point of the arm, and one tucked away on the far end of the tensioner base that you can only really see if you’re standing on the fender side instead of in front
Look who else is in here A dead mouse
That was the best line as far
Scotty Kilmer: "now here's a dead mouse, it must be a Ford since it's dead."
Excellent video…..it helped me start bike that sat for 14 years
In Australia you might find a highly venomous snake instead of a mouse. I see he has a Generac whole house generator installed. That's a good thing to have. I'm seriously thinking about getting one of those myself.
Are they diesel or gasoline ? My gererac gas generator has been good so far except I put small car battery on instead of the little sideways motorcycle one it came with.
The trick with the extension I do it the same way when drain the tank of my Honda greetings from Germany Scotty 😁😁😁
I love you Scotty, I really do. Cheers from Spain.
Tacoma guy. You want a Pedal comander to adjust your gas pedal responce. Stock it is program smooth and not snappy. But you get use to it and just push more if you want 100%.
I've got a lot of motorcycles & purposely got a house on a tall hill. After checking that there's gas & Its on, amazing what a good downhill run , with it 3ed & dump the clutch will do. 📉😎📈
It doesn't sound so good to me.....You have to remove the carbs and clean them.
Didn't even have to clean the carbs, Scotty you're a genius
You need to work on more Motorcycles please :)
Do you know what bike it was?
We need motorcycle vdos as well
I’m planning on restoring my friends grandpas old bike summer 2021 hope I have a good luck like you
Hey Scotty, love the Screaming Eagle stickers! I was with 1st Bde from 72-75. Thanks for your Service! Motorpool gotta love it!
Scotty made me want a Celica, now I want a motorcycle!
Winter is a good time to buy since not many people like riding in the cold. Try the Motorcycle Safety Foundation Rider Course to get your M1 license.
@@stoundingresults thanks for that info! Greatly appreciated
Woot! At 18 I bought my uncles Kawasaki KZ650 LTD. It had sat rotting in his garage for as long as I existed. New gas, new oil, new battery, fired right up! I could never get the 4 carburetors sync'd up just right, but that's on me, not the bike. That bike was like riding a couch on the highway!
Hey scotty I had a yamaha ttr250 I got from a bloke at work sat for three years. I put new spark plug battery drained the fuel replaced the fuel tap and rebuilt the carburettor and it runs fine now.
VERY HELPFUL - Thank you!!
I have a few questions:
1 - if we don't have that can like you have, where should we put the used gasoline? Where do we find a container to safely carry it to the recycle place?
2 - should we change the oil before trying to start a bike that's been sitting for 7 years or so?
3 - What about the fuel pump? Wouldn't it also be bad? Should we change that before trying to start it?
2 - at the 5m 5s mark when you start it, there's nothing under the bike. BUT at the 6 min mark, there's a huge puddle with a paper towel under it. What happened there?
Thanks for all you do Scotty - LOVE your channel.
Camry 8 speed automatic are excellent - Good to know - thanks Scotty 👍
Toyota's for cars, Honda's for bikes. That's the way I roll.
Its a katana..
@@improbro1124 I know, I'm saying I BUY Honda bikes.
@@camj3557 i like the 959 fireblade
More motorcycle content!
More mouse content!
High test gas, haven't heard it called that in many years.
At least he didn't day Ethel.
Gosh, we still do in New England. Or super....
At least he didn't call it "Ethyl".
Good afternoon Scotty, i miss those episodes of "You Want The Truth,You Cant Handle The Truth"
Scotty buys the hand pump with the dreaded curly fry hose and says “I really can’t stand the way they sell things”. Priceless👍
3:35 neighbor dog wanders into garage.
This takes me back to when I started watching the Scotty Kilmer Channel. The intro was great!!! I like the corvette intro too!!
Scotty-son, May Fong wants to know where you got that "Flying Chicken" (101st) decal ??
One of his sons is/was in the 101st.
happy thanks giving
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving Scotty. I’m thankful for all your unrelenting advice and guidance. Long may it continue 😁
Your new crib looks sick. Give us a tour.
can't wait for more 2 wheel vdieos
Came back to this vid and surprised the carbs weren’t gummed up
You missed your chance to show a picture of Deadmau5 (still pronounced dead mouse) when you grab that dead one out of your bike Scotty😂
Scotty, put a metal close hanger inside the tube to straighten!!!
How did that mouse not chew the battery wires? Or thats what killed it? But i guess it didn't chew all the way through
Thanks again Scotty for another great video. What kind of "racing" was that bike souped up for? An old friend used to do café 8 mc racing. Kinda freaked me out.
You are the King. Peace&Safety to all.
The work has just begun. There's a vast difference in getting it to start and getting it to run reliably and safely.
3:34
Using the power of his voice, Scotty has summoned his dog! 🤣
I had an old Katana also but mine was a NIGHTMARE!!! Good to see one that'll run somewhat correctly 👍 haha
BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS VIDEO! THANKS SCOTTY
