Keep on waffling Jim, you have so much knowledge to share! Anyone can pull an engine apart, but your dialogue is what makes your videos great! 👍
I enjoy your talking. The little things that you point out are worth mentioning. They are what no one else mentions and should. I bought a 79 gs850g spring of 80 and still have it. One of my favorites. I really enjoy your videos! Don’t worry about talking, I love it!
We have no problem with you talking..this is how we learn..keep it up.
Babble all you want man, I have found that is when the best knowledge drops
Hello Jim, Absolutely worth the wait. As Marty Niner wrote it's not waffling it's sharing your experience, I believe it adds to your videos. Very clever those Suzuki engineers making that extra bit of casting to ease separating the crankcase.
I remember in the 1980s “motorcycle mechanics” magazine stripped down an engine from each of the big four to measure wear after about 35,000 miles. They were quite adamant that there was no discernible wear whatsoever in the Suzuki GS850 engine and hence Suzuki won. I’ve always loved the air cooled Suzuki fours, I had a GS550E which I regret selling more than any bike I can remember. I loved that magazine, but had to buy “bike” magazine to read the Orgi cartoon strip. People of my age will understand.
Hi mate. As I mentioned before don’t worry about how long or how many vids it takes you I wish to see as much as you can show us. Love it. Knowledge is wisdom
I love that little engine stand!
Amazing that these old engines not only still alive but in such great condition inside. Looking forward to next vid
nice to see a engine being worked on correctly unlike another channel that is currently destroying a 600 diversion motor :)))
The nuber one thing most adults need to learn is why. You bang this out
of the park man. Keep it up.
Had one of these with over 100k, ran like a watch.
Had one of these in 1983.. first big bike after passing my test. Bullet proof.👍
as others have said, dont be so hard on yourself. you dont talk too much, and your expertise is valuable and appreciated!
Thanks Mate 👍
Great video. Good to see you back.
Adore these older GS series plants for their robustness, and simplicity. Have wanted one of 850's for a time now, but they are getting rather scarce these days, especially if they aren't badly hammered up, or mangled a bit. Great instruction, with all the pertinent details, and the little surprises that await those confident enough to rip into one of these iconic power trains.
Has anyone told you they refused to subscribed due to your language? 🤣 you got a subscription from me guy! 🤘🏻🏁🇺🇸
Great video. Maybe one day you could make a video on what tools you recommend for working on bikes 🏍 keep up the good work
I got extremely giddy when I saw an upload.
I can’t wait to see this project unfold! Excellent
Fantastic video - thanks very much Jim - I look forward to some 'stop waffling,' merch coming soon
Love the video. Makes me wanna work on my 850 again. Also, that nut and bolt you used to separate the crank case. In tool and die we call that a "jack screw" 👍
keep them coming jim ....love it
This is great. I have a GS1100 sitting in my garage that I'd love to start working on. It's almost in the same condition as this engine as well.
Great to see you back
Gonna enjoy this Loved the 750 rebuild 😀
Cheers Jim for another interesting & informative video series, you have so much knowledge to pass on.
Thx Jim very interesting content can't wait for the next instalment cheers
Good to see you back
Bulletproof engine and indestructible bike. I did 12 months as a courier on a 850G.
Twenty minutes ! Keep talking, the GSXR750 videos were excellent. If it's only 20 minutes x 3 then we know we're missing out
👍
I paid £500 for a ratty GS850g that used oil but was ex despatch bike with over 85000 miles. Great bikes
I had a 1979 GS850 and yes it had points.
Love it man! Well done!
At last, can’t wait for these
thanks for this... very well done, I learned a lot.
Love those GS motors.
looking forward to this jim.
Nice tip on crackin open screws for 1st time. To check it goes bk in ok.
Hey Jim, thanks so much for this video series. I have a GS850 myself that I'm working on and preparing to take apart to restore. I'm not sure if you have mentioned it already but where did you get the gaskets, rings, bearings etc?
Great stuff…working on one myself. Any idea of the complete engine weight?
I'm about 3 weeks into an 81 GS 850 Build. I wish you were NOT 4200 Miles away. id love to have that engine rebuild/ refresh done!!! dang.. I'm out looking for a solid shop!
FIRST YEAR ONLY HAD POINTS,DIAMPHRAGM CARBS ALL HAD ELECTRONIC
I had this with the water in the bolt holes of the cam caps when I rebuild a Honda CBX engine. I found this very confusing, but I came to the conclusion, that the water must have been trapped there after the washing process when the head was manufactured decades ago. I had plenty of water sparkling out like champain out of nearly every hole of this 6-cylinder head. Captured on video on my channel...
Where can I get a new cam chain for the 850? Awesome video.
Good to see a new video from you.
You should sell T-shirts with "Stop waffling Jim".
🤣 Maybe with a picture of a waffle 🧇 🤔
@@SuperbikeSurgeryTV When I think about it: "Keep on waffling Jim" for us to wear. Nice video
Missed you Jim. Please talk as much as possible. These vids could be 3hrs long and we’d still be engrossed.
Very interesting as I'm about to start a restoration of a 78 gs1000 where did you get the engine stand?
Hi, I'm a novice mechanic but going to rebuild the top end of my gs650 over winter... Any chance you have video of that engine rebuild? Or, how similar are these two engines..? Thanks... Pete.
Good job keep on going can I ask where you get the engine block support where can I get it 👍🏼
Sealey MES03 www.sealey.co.uk/product/5637788879/100kg-engine-rebuild-stand---multi-cylinder
Thanks
just found your channel after trying to find why my GS 850 doesnt seem to want to run off choke with this shit petrol we have now dont change a thing keep the waffling
Love this series, thank for all the tips! Planning on doing my own restoration. Where can I buy that engine stand?
Hi Mate, Thanks for the kind words 😁 It's a Sealey MES03 Engine Rebuild Stand.
@@SuperbikeSurgeryTV Thank you so much. Unfortunately not easy to acquire in The Netherlands it seems :( BTW just finished the GS series. The engine came out fantastic! Cheers
@Remon Felix Thanks Mate, Glad you enjoyed it. Happy New Year 🙏
@@SuperbikeSurgeryTV Where can I get a new cam chain for the 850? Awesome video, very helpful.
Gs problably cdi ignition.
Were would one get that motorcycle engine stand..
What kind of engine stand is that?
Is a gs 850 have similar engine as a gs750
Can you explain why. my motor has a stud for the oil filter cover, in the way of one of the case halve bolts Is that just Suzuki gs750 design flaw?
😎👍😎
Hi sir can you help me were i can buy a parts of this motorcycle suzuki katana gs 650g from the Phillippines we have only a few unit so the parts is hard to fined thanks.
how different is this from a 1980 gs750L engine
Apart from the gearbox output, lack if kickstart and the ignition it's pretty much identical to my 1977 GS750. Actually all the Suzuki 4 cylinder 8 valve engines are very similar - I know that 850 cylinders, pistons and head will fit on 750 crankcases
Jim I took the sump of my gsxr 600 k3 this year to replace the gasket. There was a slight oil leak. Removing the remaining gasket that was stuck to the sump and the bottom of the engine was a nightmare. Is there anything you would suggest to make the job easier.Thanks in advance.Also I would pay money to come watch you strip down a engine to learn of you and would be more than happy to listen to your waffling ha.
There is no substitute for a Stanley Knife Blade in experienced hands for removing old gaskets! Finished off with some Red Scotch-Brite 👍
What ever
happened to the cb550 engine?
I'm embarrassed to say it got filmed and never edited. Just too busy keeping my paying customers happy.
what would this cost a client?
A (mentally ill) friend gave me a GS850 a while back. Bog standard and in perfect condition. I turned him down and told him to sell it and give the cash to his wife. Glad I did but...
make the video longer and keep talking please....
🤣
what is it, are you challenging someone else english youtuber?
🤣🤣🤣
Ciao!
