me & mrs always love your vids. we appreciate you taking the fix it approach, often it is so much easyer to by a new, but where is the satisfaction. For someone like you who knows his stuff, you know what has to be done :)
Nice to see you back mechanicking again I love the way you figure things out and get the job done provided the parts are available - your videos are always well put together too mate - hope you get the bike fixed 😊😊
I have the speedo fixed now for the next video...btw you would be amazed how many people over here are riding with construction helmets on but I am purely doing it to trigger the bed weters lol
I bet the previous owner of the bike knew the speedo gear was damaged, actually its common thing because these mechanisms need to be lubed regularly, and nobody does this. Also i'm surprised the shop which sold the new gauges haven't checked that the cable was not rotating, nor even fit. Actually a basic bicycle electronic speedometer would work, you'd just need to attach a magnet to one of the spokes and set the correct wheel diameter.
the pushbike speedo is certainly an option but will try to get the main speedo fixed first. now I have visited numerous motorcycle repair shops its becoming clear many of the mechanics have very limited tools and in some cases knowledge as why did he not mention the broken cable in the hub but it gets worse...the amount of mechanics which told me I just need to fit the new gear in the hub and I tell them you can't do that without removing the seized nut first as the gear won't fit through the hole but they still try anyway and I am stood there in despair lol
easiest thing to do with the speedo is buy a universal digital clocks which will come with a simple magnet and sensor to stick on the wheel and will retain the neutral light and indicator lights etc
An ice cream cone to treat our Grandson from the van in the park costs us £5.00. I would say though Alan, Please get a proper helmet. Your head would thank you for it in a spill.
If your mates could see the state of the toolbox you've got out there 😂 Lesson to the wise, get a bike that is popular and you'll get bits easy enough 😊 Enjoy your tinkering and the making do and mending. The clocks would have annoyed my ocd, think a chinesium hub will sort your issue 😁👍🇮🇪
Not sure you plastic mixing bowl would help in a spill! That shop is wonderful. pity not near me could do with them on my 2001 ER5. What a good idea MOTs were! Your bike would have had to have been fixed yonks ago. Never trusted sun roofs in our climate , looks teh same in your climate. Good to see you on teh tools again even though are a bit crude.
Love your persistence with the speedo drive, i remember a cable snapping on a cortina i had, & losing the speedo, keep going, you will sort it, not too sure about your bob the biulder skid lid though, all the best .
Use a bike spedo, is having an magnet on the wheel and a sensor on the fork. It will be ok for the speed of that bike i think :) that helmet is ok for hail i think 😂
That hard hat wouldn't do much good if you come off, good to see you doing some mechanic work even if it's not on a red Mondeo, bet you wake up in a cold sweat after having a bad dream about red Mondeo's. Keep up the good work be happy and enjoy yourself. All the best from Scotland. 😊.
Looks like a Honda CG125 replica? The modern Honda Waves use nylon gears for the speedo in the wheel so they wear out really quickly unlike older bikes that use metal gears. Hence I gave up getting our old Wave speedo working; it would work for a while and then give up. As you say Alan zipping round the village you don't need to know how fast you are going and its just a glorified bicycle without the physical exercise in the heat to run to the local shop; longer trips I go in my pickup truck which has aircon. I am in rural Thailand similar to the Phillipines.
I ordered some tools and motorbike parts from Aliexpress when I was in Tayabas Quezon, Philippines. I paid quite alot in tax but still cheaper than the uk. I used my wife's name for the address because it makes life easier as she is from the philippines. It's a shame you can't get a second-hand hub. We live in Gibraltar as soon as our daughter finally finishes school I hope to retire to the philippines I just love the simple life. Only one thing I don't really like is not being able to get fresh milk.
Get a metal turning lathe from China. I had one delivered years ago from china and it was about 1/3 the cost of what machine mart wanted and it was a longer and better machine.
Yes, prices are low but so are earnings. If I said to the typical Brit you can have a set of clocks for your bike and an ice-cream for less than 15 quid they'd say yes, until I told them your wages for today are a fiver.
would you advise me please i am thinking about moving to the Philippines next year i am 69 what is the medical services like and would i have to pay for my hospital treatment would a medical insurance be a investment
What is the average wage there? You can’t compare the prices to uk. How long does someone have to work to pay for the ice cream? Minimum wage in uk £10 approx.
Does the rev counter work? Not hard to log which revs in each gear = what speed… my mk1 Vivaro Speedo is as reliable as yours! 2.2k revs in third is 30mph,2.2in forth is 40, that’ll do 😅
Here in the UK we see 2.9 road fatalities per 100,000 population whilst the Philipines sees 12 - that's FOUR TIMES more deaths - not amazing is it? That doesn't take into account how far people drive because there's no data I can find for average distance driven in the Philipines - I find it hard to imagine it's no lower tho, so that figure coudl be WAY worse... Maybe speed limits and cameras do reduce fatalities after-all - who knows eh?
the Philippines has almost double the population of the uk and more that 8 times the amount of motorcycles and as most here ride motorcycles it is not comparable to the uk..the point is the government is not infringing on your freedoms at every oportunity over here
me & mrs always love your vids. we appreciate you taking the fix it approach, often it is so much easyer to by a new, but where is the satisfaction. For someone like you who knows his stuff, you know what has to be done :)
thank you Lisa-andy, good thing here in the comments people have given me other ideas which are very helpful, have a good day😊
Ah Alan your a funny guy I nearly fell off my chair when I saw the helmet, can't believe it's 8 months, videos are brilliant. All the best Alan 👀👍👍
Thanks 👍Martin, have a good one😁
Nice to see you back mechanicking again I love the way you figure things out and get the job done provided the parts are available - your videos are always well put together too mate - hope you get the bike fixed 😊😊
Great video, and I love the Bob, the builder helmet. " Can we fix it! Yes, we can "
Loving your bike vids ......
Good thing you not giving up on the speedon! What a banger when you drove with the construction helmet. :)
I have the speedo fixed now for the next video...btw you would be amazed how many people over here are riding with construction helmets on but I am purely doing it to trigger the bed weters lol
I love the helmet, totally safe if it rains hammers😝 Also seems like there is a mouse in the car😱
😂😂😂his skull won't crack

You could get a gps app for your phone to give a more accurate speed reading Alan. Another alternative is to get a working hub and respoke the wheel.
I didn't think it would be long before you started spannering again 🤣
easiest thing to do with the speedo is buy a universal digital clocks which will come with a simple magnet and sensor to stick on the wheel
and will retain the neutral light and indicator lights etc
Hi 👋🏻 Mr Mondingo man 😊 Lovely seeing you on the spanner’s 👍🏻 Nice brain bucket 🤣🏴

wow, thats a cheap ice cream🤣
If your mates could see the state of the toolbox you've got out there 😂
Lesson to the wise, get a bike that is popular and you'll get bits easy enough 😊
Enjoy your tinkering and the making do and mending.
The clocks would have annoyed my ocd, think a chinesium hub will sort your issue 😁👍🇮🇪
thanks, trust me to buy an obsolete bike lol, its all fixed now for the next video😁

not the first time mice have been in that car, last year they chewed through the fuel pump wires😬cheers
I'd also check the valves clearance, it should be a walk in the park comparing to that speedo drive.
may well do, cheers
use a bicycle speedo that uses a magnet attached to the spokes and runs of a buttin battery
I’m sure your get it sorted fella 👍
Love your persistence with the speedo drive, i remember a cable snapping on a cortina i had, & losing the speedo, keep going, you will sort it, not too sure about your bob the biulder skid lid though, all the best
.
I can see a whole load of franchises comming to the Philippines howatts motorcycles repairs and sales.
Use a bike spedo, is having an magnet on the wheel and a sensor on the fork. It will be ok for the speed of that bike i think :) that helmet is ok for hail i think 😂
thanks for that, its a god idea😁

All the best from Scotland. 😊.
Alan it's good your doing wot you do best again 👏
Ooh err! Nice helmet.
thanks lol, 🤣
Love the helmet alan 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂does he looks like engineer ?
He looks like the gaffer khen all he needs is a suit and a hi viz vest. 😂
Phone holder and gps app would’ve sorted that Alan👍

Hi Alan I have an idea. About your Speedo issue. You could always use your mobile phone with an GPS app that would tell you the speed your going
cheers dean, I have it fixed now but also just downloaded the free version of that app so I can see if the bike speedo is accurate
Great vid, no idea why I like watching you fix an obsolete motorbike, but I do. 😂
I ordered some tools and motorbike parts from Aliexpress when I was in Tayabas Quezon, Philippines. I paid quite alot in tax but still cheaper than the uk.

😬
great vid
Davao City (which covers a very large geographic area) does have 3 agencies operating speed cameras on Davao roads. Beware!
Have you found the little machine shops able to do all and everything needed with lathes and milling machines and may be casting new parts?
I have but thats a last resort, have a few ideas first, cheers
Yes, prices are low but so are earnings. If I said to the typical Brit you can have a set of clocks for your bike and an ice-cream for less than 15 quid they'd say yes, until I told them your wages for today are a fiver.
good to see you got your safety helmet on, looks like a builders hard hat though, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Might be worth a look...
Yamaha 36L-F5135-11
If all else fails, you could put a pushbike speedometer on it.
That helmet at least could protect your brain from scattering in the road.. Except your ears.. 😂
find a replacement front wheel?
thanks,, that is what I have done ...thanks to your comment😁
Why dont you get a lycra suit and a bike helmet including the shades 😎 head down pretend youre in the tour de france.
🤣
Did you fit a fuel filter?
not yet, that does need doing, cheers
replace the hole front wheel
Brian , your a genius 😁thats an excellent option
How about Ebay, might have some parts on there ffg or your bike.😊😊
It will arrive after 3months 😂😂😂
would you advise me please i am thinking about moving to the Philippines next year i am 69 what is the medical services like and would i have to pay for my hospital treatment would a medical insurance be a investment
What is the average wage there? You can’t compare the prices to uk.
How long does someone have to work to pay for the ice cream? Minimum wage in uk £10 approx.
why comment on a country I doubt you could even point to on a map
Get s same sized motorcycle wheel with drum brakes and working Speedo gubbins.
When the postman knows where you are the world does too!!!! 😂🤣😂🤣 Do you think your going to stay there or is this like a year out???
Does the rev counter work? Not hard to log which revs in each gear = what speed… my mk1 Vivaro Speedo is as reliable as yours! 2.2k revs in third is 30mph,2.2in forth is 40, that’ll do 😅
I’m a long term watcher, probably first comment. I used to be a mech at a taxi place meself 😂😂😂
A lil further in… ahhh no rev counter 🤦♂️
lol, I don't think I am doing more than 40mph but as you know I can tell pretty much the speed by the engine note
Alan wots the death rate where you are, compared to UK for traffic accidents, just saying from North of Newcastle 🇬🇧🏍🏍🇬🇧😂
Here in the UK we see 2.9 road fatalities per 100,000 population whilst the Philipines sees 12 - that's FOUR TIMES more deaths - not amazing is it?
That doesn't take into account how far people drive because there's no data I can find for average distance driven in the Philipines - I find it hard to imagine it's no lower tho, so that figure coudl be WAY worse...
Maybe speed limits and cameras do reduce fatalities after-all - who knows eh?
Alan is full of bright ideas 🤣
the Philippines has almost double the population of the uk and more that 8 times the amount of motorcycles and as most here ride motorcycles it is not comparable to the uk..the point is the government is not infringing on your freedoms at every oportunity over here
@4:50 such a dumb comparison to make
I like your thinking...I will look😁
Get yourself a gps speedo
Iphone?
LMFAO the hardhat helmet
🤣
