12:25 The colored bars (red and blue) and the text (possibly Japanese) indicate the fluid levels: "low" (補給) on the left, and "full" (満) on the right. The red needle points toward the current fluid level, which appears to be close to "full.
I'm in love with the XR. The Honda 2stroke is worth its weight in gold in Europe. They still race those. The green bike is a mix of Mel Gibsons Mad Max 2 and Princes Purple Rain movie.
Kinda high jacking your comment here to explain what "Suzuki Advanced Comical System" actually means. The big Suzuki GSXR's had the same looking sticker on them saying "Suzuki Advanced Cooling System". The GSXR 50 doesn't really have a cooling system, it's air cooled. But since it's a small replica of the big bikes and they wanted it to to look the same as much as possible, they added that sticker but changed "cooling" to "comical" as a sort of in house joke.
that buzzing sounds like the mechanism that retracts the kickstarter gear is broken, what you're hearing sounds to me exactly like the kickstarter ratchet working, which it really shouldn't be. (I may of course be wrong though.)
Mitsubishi has a long history of technical excellence. You forgot one of their most iconic creation. The Mitsubishi A6M Reisen know to WWII Aviators more commonly as a the Zero.
They all need carb kits, no surprises there, gaskets leaking and jets plugged most likely. Gotta be honest I wouldn’t touch any of these with a 39 1/2 foot pole.
@@bittasweetsymphony726 if you are going to be in there why not freshen it all up? Especially the 4 carb bikes. Nothing sucks more than pulling a rack of carbs, trying your best to re use old gaskets and o rings, then reassembling to see gas slowly seeping from one of the carbs after the bike sits.
This dude Shawn annoys me. He seems like a nice guy, but honestly, someone who is mechanically inept, should leave these vintage bikes alone. This is a perfect example of, just because you can, (splash $80k cash on a bunch of bikes) Doesn't mean you should. I said it once and I'll say it again, this dude would not have a channel with out Craig. (The bearded mechanic) I only watch Craig's channel (the bearded mechanic) anymore as his down to earth approach is just more genuine than this trust fund type of guy buying pre war Harley's, but can't change a spark plug.
Ive been watching this channel for a long time. Not once have i noticed Shawn lay claim to being a mechanic. He is an entrepreneur. Maybe chill out the redundant criticism brother.
But since hes not a mechaniche should leave the spannering to someone who doesknow what they are doing rather than abuse and potentially damage bikes like this......hasnt a clue how to recommission a bike that hasnt started for a while.......no way would i buy a bike from him if this is how he treats his stock
@paulrose5492 sounds like you have it all figured out. People who arent mechanics shouldnt try to figure it out. Leave old bikes to be worked on by someone else. Dont learn anything new. And primarily, dont have fun. Can I sign you up as my lifecoach?
Clean the carbs on bikes that have em. Fuel sits in the carbs and forms deposits like varnish after sitting for a while and you almost always have to clean em to get it running right.
I believe the Indian Papoose being based on the Wellbike actually makes it a British design by a chap called John Dolphin. He later adapted the Welbike design in to a civilian version called a Corgi and that is what the Indians were licensed copies of. I think. Ooh it seems like they were exported as completely built bikes from my hometown of Southport and then rebranded as Indians when they arrived on your side of the pond. ;)
SACS- Suzuki Advanced Comical System was an in-house joke amongst Suzuki due to the it being a gag mini GSX-R. SACS on big bikes is Suzuki Advanced Cooling System. Just learned this myself.
The Pigeon is the coolest of the lot. But, it's a copy of a Vespa, including the switch gear. The Trx850 was the best bike Yamaha never sold in North America, but it's not a V twin. The TRX is the parallel twin design that is now the standard out of Japan decades later. But these guys know this. Their comments are designed to trigger UA-cam comments to game the algorithm.
I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen a channel do their adds while doing relative work (like getting gas) and not just looking into the camera in a random room on a webcam
Such a fun video. One piece of advice considering fueling, leaking petcocks and jumper boxes....I didn't see a single handy fire extinguisher. Maybe I just missed it. Just a thought.
The Motocompo was buzzing because it had aspirations to be an electric city bike and that was it's warning sound for other road users and pedestrians. The CBR is a pirates bike, RRRRR. Plus, you've got a junior and senior Baja.
Regarding the the shifter on the Pigeon: About 65 years ago (Yeah, I'm old as dirt), we rode an old Lambretta scooter around on Nantucket Island (Before the island became overpopulated with obnoxious yuppies - when the harbor smelled of fish - and you took an actual steamship to get there) unbeknownst to the owner. (It wasn't theft - we 'borrowed' it.). The Lambretta shifted by twisting the grip just like on the Pigeon. My brother actually got it ripping in 3rd gear before he slammed it into the side of a house just after mowing down a forsythia bush. I'm still riding motorcycles. My brother 'retired' from the sport.
That's bullshit. Compression is compression, independent of the cycle. When the cilinder is at its top dead center, you're on compression. 2 stroke or 4 stroke doesn't change that. The only difference is when the mixture ignites , 2 stroke on every cycle , 4 stroke every other cycle. And of course valves working on a 4 stroke instead of transfer ports on a 2 stroke 🤷🏼
Well that was fun. A suggestion with the 2-stroke bikes, check the exhausts for restrictor plates at the engine end. Power profiles can be modified by adding a restriction (for noise, power, fuel consumption). The Honda 4-cyclinder 250cc goes back to when the Grand Prix classes had no cylinder number restrictions. At the time when GP bikes (covering all classes) had single, twin. triple, four, five, six and V8 engine configurations.
I’d say you did well that any of them ran after sitting so long. All I could think seeing all those old bikes is “gah lee that’s a lot of jets to clean”.
SACS - I had an '88 katana that was Suzuki Advanced Cooling System. The oil had a little rad, so oil cooled bike. These are fun little bikes, that looks just like it. Someone is just playing around there, looks like a good time. If I had a kid easy sell for ya.
Thanks for the Hat I won, and you did good sir bringing cool Japanese home motorcycles to the USA where they belong, 80's stuff it's like land their not making anymore of it yes you can use that line to sell the bikes 😂
Watching all these small bikes get running again reminds me of when my dad gave me my 1975 Honda cb125s! Tough bikes! But not as tough as Shawn taking that fall like a man!
I would love to work for these guys, I’d drop everything for a chance like that, they are making money and making money fun! It’s a blessing they have, I respect everything they got going on it’s awesome
38:50 we had those 250 4 cil here in Venezuela imported from Japan. I remember those where very very fast to be a 250cc it could go around 100-120 mph easy.
You should be putting pre-mix in all the 2 strokes, even when if they have oil injection. At least until you can confirm the injection is working as expected.
The left hand grip shifter was a Vespa invention back in the '40s. They did it till their 1980s scooters. Finally in the '90s they made some automatics.
Just some info for anyone tht wants to know. The green bike is a bosozoku bike. And in order to be a yakusa or Japanese gangster u have to first become a bosozoku member first. So dude could have a bike of an old yakusa dude. No bs.
02:00 I (German) didn't know that the British Brockhouse Corgi Mk2 (developed from the WWII military parachute Welbike motorcycle) was branded and sold as the Indian Papoose in the US, starting in 1947. Amazing, as the whole video is amazing, thank you!
Sorry but I just have to ask.... How did you manage to stack it in first or second gear while riding in a straight line on a dry and clear day in a mostly empty car park. Was it an act of god?? 🤔
About the bore kit on the Harley z50 i want to give out some info for anyone thats interested regarding the engine. So stroke 41.4mm and the 72cc kit makes the bore 47mm. From what i understand the carburettor is either from a c90 or a c100 astrea/ex5. If you want to give it a little bit more pep you can put an 18mm shengway carb(they work great) and a fuego f200/apido r20/takegawa r20 cam shaft
Theres a guy here in Bedfordshire UK still rides an original monkey from the 70's, He's used it most every day for work, Rain or shine, Only upgrade he made was from the 50cc to the C90 engine and a after-market exhaust thats very quiet, The rest, old school'd patina from top to bottom. He must have hundreds of thousands of miles clocked on that. Those C engines do go on for ever.
that Yamaha TRX is the best thing you got there. They are great bikes to ride, and that one is in good condition too. Motor is a parallel twin, originally used in the TDM850. For some bizarre reason...it never sold well and got dropped from the range after a couple of years.
I really enjoyed watching this, find out about the different bikes, both the friendly competition but also helping each other get these going - this was super fun. Merry Christmas from my family to yours. For God so loved the world that he sent his only son …..
At least where I live monkeys are/were fourstroke which made them kinda special on their category of 50cc bikes. :D I had a bike which had basically monkey motor build into a small "harley" style frame/style and that was kinda funny thing to ride and best thing was that harley guys thought that I was riding a real motorcycle so they waved at me when we drew pass each other. :D
This was a great video I enjoyed every minute, haven’t seen this many foreign bikes being turned on after years of sitting, all in one video (please keep the trx850)
I grew up on a gsxr-50r those little bikes are the best! I still need to restore it from all the 6-13 year old abuse. Parts are hard to find unfortunately.
Difference between me and you guys.. i would have put every bike up on a lift.. cleaned carbs.. charged batteries.. checked spark.. fluids.. brakes.. thoroughly inspected for safety stuff.. made sure oil pumps were working on the injected 2 strokes.. etc.. then got them started.. i mean.. none of them sounded like they were in "ready to go" condition.. it's good they are going to work out.
I read online that the Suzuki advanced comical system is the company making a joke. The bikes name is the Gag 50. It's a parody of Suzuki advanced cooling system.

Sounded like a seized horn to me..
Sight glass on the TRX is on the other side, and it's up high - the oil tank is above the gearbox. Rear suspension is standard.
Mitsubishi has a long history of technical excellence. You forgot one of their most iconic creation. The Mitsubishi A6M Reisen know to WWII Aviators more commonly as a the Zero.
just like vespa. went from making planes to making scooters.
They've also produced a variant of the F-15 Eagle, specifically the F-15J.
My favourite is their air conditioning 😂
I couldn't believe he didn't mention the Lancer Evo series of cars, you know WRC champions.
I have only ever owned one Mitsubishi product and that oddly enough was a TV. And you know what, it was a damn good TV.
They all need carb kits, no surprises there, gaskets leaking and jets plugged most likely. Gotta be honest I wouldn’t touch any of these with a 39 1/2 foot pole.
Yep, carbs need opening and cleaning, fresh gaskets, fresh float needle if it is rubber tipped and deformed.
a carb kit? sounds silly to me. i reckon you'd love to touch them all, without a pole
They just need a simple carb cleaning and a fresh battery if required
@@bittasweetsymphony726 if you are going to be in there why not freshen it all up?
Especially the 4 carb bikes. Nothing sucks more than pulling a rack of carbs, trying your best to re use old gaskets and o rings, then reassembling to see gas slowly seeping from one of the carbs after the bike sits.
Those tiny 2 stroke sport bikes are a dream come true
A track day would be a blast

The GSXRs of the 80s had SACs Suzuki advanced cooling system , the GSXR50 was just making fun of itself with that sticker .
You could only buy the Motocompo as an add-on to the honda city. It wasn't available to purchase otherwise.
That explains why they are rare... Forgot about that little fact.

The styling on that Pigeon is beautiful!
I’ve never been a big motorcycle rider or guy I enjoy trucks sxs atvs etc but watching this channel just makes me happy & want smol Chinese bikes

An underrated gem it is

Glad you didn't dump that one, imagine the embarrassment!
“I’m a rider not a mechanic” best quote from this video. And good info on the keivans

I wouldn't be surprised if the golden monkey has a big bore kit as well. Many are labeled 49cc but can be up to 72cc on the same appearance.
Yeah it moved like the bigger engine.

How come you didn’t show us the wreckage on the scooter? And Elaborate on why you laid it down? Brakes stick or something?
About the bore kit on the Harley z50 i want to give out some info for anyone thats interested regarding the engine. So stroke 41.4mm and the 72cc kit makes the bore 47mm. From what i understand the carburettor is either from a c90 or a c100 astrea/ex5. If you want to give it a little bit more pep you can put an 18mm shengway carb(they work great) and a fuego f200/apido r20/takegawa r20 cam shaft
