- In this video we attempt to start my wrecked #yamaha #thunderace for the second time. This project bike rebuild has had numerous setbacks and here we are finally about to see if all the hours spent trying to restore this old motorcycle will eventually come to fruition.

The nerves before starting a bike you don't know you've fixed.. Then the feeling of relief when it all starts !
Love it, watching your videos gives me them feelings all over again!
Cant wait for the cr project.
When you turn engine over to see if oil is reaching everywhere, i say check your service manual for an "oil check bolt" on majroity of bikes there is a bolt at the top or side of the cylinder head, which purpose is;when undone you can see the oil is reaching the top most part of the bike. Only a little bit runs out and bike has to be on!
Also very smart turning bike on / off to get fuel pump to prime carbs, in future working on multiple carb bikes it is easier filling up the carb bowls using an external tank; as some bikes dont prime fuel until oil pressure is reached.
Also at end when bike started, the rpm on guage is trying to tell you something; its a fault code. Might just be unplugged sensor
When you get it working the pain disappears ! Next carb balance 👍🏻
That's the plan!
' I am a professional' always make me smile, the suspense and drama was too much to take, had to sit in a dark room after too calm down😁. Really appreciate your being open and showing us the highs and lows. Everyday can be like this as a amateur poor, keep up the good work, thank god you have Nicole to help you out. Cheers
Mate, what a result! Well done for sticking with it. Now get it together and look forward to that first ride!😊
Can't wait!
Good on you for your positive attitude. By the time this is all said and done you will have become one hell of a motorcycle mechanic. Congratulations.
First Ride coming soon! 😎
All saying "set the carbs up", which I agree with, but do it with the exhaust you plan to run on the bike, not the original. Well done, its great to see one of these, rebuild a bike video, where it goes wrong, its not all plain sailing and I'm sure a lot of the trolls have either never actually rebuilt a bike engine or have gone through the trials and tribulations previously before they "learned" I am truly pleased for you 🥰, just as well you had a true professional doing the work alongside you 😁
Congrats Rye!!! She lives!
Damn it, your perseverance is outstanding. Glad to see the outcome, we're proud of you, matey!
your hard work and determination as paid off, nice one Mr Professional!
I had my fingers crossed for you before you started the bike up welldone mate for not given up on it
Congrats homey!! Good job - you stuck with it and got it done.
Welcome to the highs and lows of Bikes dude! After 40+ years of riding, breaking and rebuilding bikes I can honestly say that they live in a spectrum of their own! From the absolute amazing highs to the abyss defying lows, nothing on this planet compares to a bike. Your about to experience one of those highs as well, riding a bike that's taken you to hell in a rebuild, taking it onto the twistiest road you can find and slapping it from side to side through the corners ( at the speed limit of course! 🤪) is mind blowing! The thing about bikes over everything else is that they become a part of your soul! I was an Instructor for 15 years and I used to tell the students to beware, the NHS has systems in place to help you from addictions such as alcohol, cocaine, heroin, cigs etc etc but once biking gets into your soul your fecked for life! In a good way of course! The problem is tinkering with them is just as feckin addictive! Great job dude! Now balance the carbs, reset the timing screw, (Plus all the other 1000 little bits that need tweaking before you can ride her lol), put on new underwear and go and feckin ride the bitch! 🤘😁
Never doubted you mate! The sigh of relief when she started! We're with you on this epic journey!
Now that's what we all wanted to see 😁😁
Really well done Mr Professional! Amazing stuff. Love it 👌 👌
You absolute legend, it's bloody alive again!!! This feels like a win for me and I haven't been putting the work in Rye.
Well done. Working on bikes is just never ending rabbit holes which is probably why so many land up rusting in the corner of a garage
I literally said turn the tick over up as you said it!! Well done mate😊😊😊
Excellent , I'm so pleased for you. You deserve a Bafta for a very dramatic nail biting video. you didn't let it beat you 👍
Well done mate I knew you could do it just keep on doing what you’re doing brilliant 👍❤️
Happy days, told ya you’d do it 😉 awesome job Ry
Good work. You deserve the win. I typically go through similar struggles, but your are winning the battle. Can’t wait to see the Thunderace on the road. keep up the great work.👍
Absolutely Fantastic. Many congratulations to You. Can't wait to See it on the road. Look forward to the next video. 👍😁.
Nice one mate. Well done.

So pleased you finally got to hear the ace running so well very impressed with your perseverance it has to be said. I am off to fire up my own ace to celebrate your success 🤜🤛
Think I was as nervous as you were. Well done for sticking with it mate👍😊
Well done, knew you would get there in the end! Carb balance next.
Yes! Thank you! 😎
Top result buddy. Perseverance paid off. Before you throw the body back together , balance the carbs and check the engine for leaks one last time. Top effort buddy.😎👍🏍
well done great job we got there in the end..👍👍👍👍👍👍
well done - love my ace
I've not long sold an old honda cbr 600f3 as a non runner because I couldn't figure out the issue. Changed so many parts but could not figure it out. A massive well done mate big respect for not giving up!👊 can't wait to see it on the road 😎
The F3 can be an arsehole..
Well done fella 🎉🎉🎉
Great stuff keep going mate ,bet you’ve learnt a lot 👍👍👍
I am super impressed like I said in the last video I’m treating these videos specifically as a personal Bible because I’ve taken on a 97 version over here in the states and it will be my first big tear down. I wish I could post pictures with this to show you where I’m at and the kinds of things I’m running into Great job dude, super great job
Nice video to watch and congrats with getting the engine running! 👌🥂
Well done bro, keep at it.
never doubted you would not get it running, well done
Well done 👍, a lot of hard work but worth it in the end.
Brilliant nice work 👍🏻👍🏻
Well done mate 👏 👍
Come on lad!!!!!
Well done sir. Fortune favours the brave .
well done and does sound well
Congrats mate nice one!
Well done mate 👍
awesome dude!
I bought my first ace at 21, and now I'm 33. I had to sadly sell her due to some financial issues. I can confidently say I own four Yamaha Thunderace bikes now. I am glad I came across your channel a few months ago. There aren't many people rebuilding these bikes across UA-cam, being an oldie. It's really difficult to find the Thunderace in South Africa; most of them are in bad condition or are not even recognizable. I am glad that I have started to follow and watch your videos because I am in the process of building the two Thunderace bikes now. Both have wiring problems, and by watching your videos, I can gladly say this has helped, and I know what to look for now. I am currently in a group of a few people who still own these beautiful machines, which are rare in South Africa. The value of these bikes has all gone up. I'm hoping to at least keep them until I'm an oldie myself. Hopefully, they will be recognized as classics.
Whhheeyyyyy!! well in mate 👍
Congratulations bud so made u for u fantastic so happy for u👌👏👏🤜
Well done buddy👍
Nice job lad!!!
Well done thats great to see, ive had times rebuilding bikes where I just cant figure out the problem or at the time the problem us unfatherable and its soooooo flustrating, great to see you stuck at it.
Well done that man 👍👍👍
Well done, my first build was an early ZX9 and didn’t go so well, made loads of errors but like you i learned. Well done again.
Mate hats off to you, I discovered your channel a few weeks ago and I’ve binge watched them all. It has to be said you have the patience of a bloody saint, I’d have lost the plot ages ago. It’s great to see your skills come on as you go along, taking on board everyone’s comments and tips 👌 would love a shout out in your next video! Keep it up mate you’ll get there 👍
well done mate
Well Done!
Was genuinely chuffed for u when she fired into life, followed the whole series, well done sir 👍👍
When things go wrong as they did, it is a blessing in disguise, you would have learned a lot because of the work you done, and more from the work you had to do to get it right. Just a carb balance and set up, and she will run smooth!
Hurrah ! well done. Before closing up the air box I would have gone for a squirt of quick start through the carbs to confirm a start before trying it on petrol. The short clip of your fuel tank cleaning with vinegar and coke looked grim so good to see you’re using a known clean fuel tank. Any doubts on that original tank and I would be filling that with Evaporust for a good soak and second clean up. Also consider fitting an inline fuel filter if there isn’t one to catch any remaining junk/ debris. Looking forward to seeing the paint job.
Good job 👍
Yesssssssss, if at first you don’t succeed………………..great skills buddy!
nice result 😎😎
😂WELL DONE !!! 😂 what a rebuild !
Hoorah! She lives!, 👍🏻
Well done mate sounds sweet just carb balancing & the rest of the pieces to put together & you're good to go, look forward to the next instalment.
AWESOME!!! Congrats!! Does sound like it needs the carbs sync'd, which is pretty normal after tearing them down and rebuilding. But engine sounds mechanically healthy!
For your sanity. Congratulations 👍🏻👍🏻🍻🍻🏍🏍
Well done
Fantastic job dude .. coming from AU.
good work m8!
Congratulations mate. From Athens Greece, I've been watching you cause I'm also work on mine❤
I was nervous watching that lol so happy she runs great awesome job now grab a beer
Fair play! 👍
You need to set up carbs on the yamaha to make it sound better
Hey dude, fellow UA-camr here (I’m very small) live the channel and what you’re doing… just found your channel will come along for the journey!
excellent well done.
Happy days. 👏👏👍
Nicole is the professional, you are the apprentice...mate! hahaha well done!
Congratulations 🎉 You deserved the break - Onwards & Upwards
Nice one mate. Most I've ever done was change the piston rings on an Ts50x and an Rd350 ypvs.
Chuffed for ya fella 🎉
Good on yer mate
Well done sir
You’ve got to keep the thunder race in the family mate!!!! And that’s the logo for your UA-cam channel now I think. Just don’t ever get rid, you can’t!!! Well done though, happy for you mate
It started.. but must say, it runs rough, is it running on all 4?
You could check downpibes if all are hot.. a temp gun, or just a spray of water. Might just be an carb issue.
was my first impression as well: only running on 3 cylinders!
Congrats on getting her running. Great achievement 👍
It would be interesting to do another compression test to see if the new head gasket and lapping the valves did the trick.
Well done mate 👍
Nice to see you get it sorted, obviously a couple of teething issues so deffo a carb set up 🤞
Keep up the good work 👍
brilliant
Well done !! I'm following this because i am putting together a thunderace too, but ive cheated and bought a running engine, so i 'll be knocking your door for help !! 😂
