Im on the same stage with my 82 z50r....holy crap the tyres were hard to get off, beaded since 1982,pitted rims being so small it was a mission ..already done the motor fitted a 70cc kit while i was in there, subbed!
Good idea , had difficult time trying split the rims apart on unrestored 1974 Honda 50cc. Be careful using the power drill on aluminium stuff , easy to ruin it . Good video and a good helper you got !
I Love watching the young man Eagerly waiting and wanting to help you! My Passion is motorcycles and unfortunately my two boys and not to mention my dad, Not So Much... Savor every minute it’s a beautiful thing!
John G thank you for your comment. I think that both of my sons like both aspects , building but also making and editing the video. I thank my oldest son for the editing of my videos, he does a good job!
Nice video. We have just started our restoration and you videos are great for us to follow. Do you know if the break pads are asbestos? And Is there any precautions to take to protect against the asbestos dust in the brake hub? I’m just concerned given the age of the bike and break pads (shoes) of that era. Thanks
Cricket Kid Cricket Skills for Kids Hello, they have changed the materials on the brakes years ago from my understanding. What they use now I am not sure. If you are worried about the dust, I would suggest to use a mask, Glad you are enjoying the videos. This restoration is still not done. I am working with the client’s budget, it should be done soon, keep watching, ty
Muito bom video, sou do Amazonas ,cidade de Manaus ,Brasil tenho uma motocicleta dessa ano 1982 ,estou restaurando também, obrigado pelo vídeo, Abraço.
This is good stuff. The only problem is that the primed surfaces bolted together and the primed surfaces against the tube are not waterproof. Primer is not designed to be the final coat. A good coat of Rustoleum will have more protective value than plain primer.
al suckow your way is also good, but water eventually gets in if there is any openings, but this way has always saved me headaches when ever disassembling them if need be. Thanks for your input it is appreciated
Anybody got a video tutorial link of how to mount the K2-K8 Z50 rear wheel sprocket studs and then the how the sprocket mounts securely to them over the spline grooves with horseshoe washer and the lock nuts without coming loose? I cant believe there is not already a video of this type of sprocket mount assembly
@@franklincycles7462 Yes, I did that, and screwed them down fully until it stopped at the stud non-threaded area the sprocket sits on, but there is a spline area above that and a shorter thread area for the lock nut. So then even if the lock nut is tightened down, it cannot pass the spline area to seat up against the sprocket, and diagram shows no bushing sleeve to make up the difference. The sprocket would be loose if I use these, I did install the hub studs anyway and seated sprocket over them against the hub, then tried to see how this wheel fits between the swing arm, well it doesnt, the studs stick out too far and hit the swing arm. So these cannot be used for a Z50 hub, and the only video I seen regarding a sprocket mount shows a sprocket with 8mm flange bolts securing the sprocket to the hub with the horse shoe washer as well. And that does work to fit in the swing arm and have sprockets in chain alignment. So studs get taken out, flange bolts in, problem solved. parts diagram on chp web site is wrong.
Thank you, best video yet. Worked like a charm.👏
It's great to see ur young mechanic/assistant work intelligently. Nice job.
Thanks

FEAR NO BEER one came off easy the other had to be cut. It was rusted , had dry rot
I just got an 82 as well and the tires are suck on so I am going to cut them off 😂
Great idea on how to replace the tyres- Probably easier and less damaging to use this method. - Thanks for sharing.
No problem, I’ve been this for yrs, never an issue, thanks for the feedback!
Great advice about which side to put the hub on
5:32 ... he explains this question

Whered u buy the tires from
Which shade of silver color did you made on your wheels?? I want same color!
I think it was called cloud silver, I picked it up at a auto shop, some hardware stores have them also. I also used a gloss clear over the paint.

The studs are just screwed into the hub of the wheel, then you install the rest sprocket and tighten the nuts

Where can I find those bolts?
Hello, if they are not available at Honda , a local bike shop or hardware store. They are metric 8x 1.25
I have the same bike but my rim has 3 holes instead of 4 and I can't find the right part for it
You should be able to find them online in good shape
is the rim 4.00.8?
3:50x8 z50, a 4:00x 10 is for a ct70
