I have to tell you, I was suffering in this one. It's a perfect rebuildable bike. It has two seized pistons only. With a little bit of patience and time, the motorcycle could be tunning. It's a piece of history and it seemed to be 100% factory original. A rare thing these days.

Heat the cylinder and tap pistons using a wood block may work. That hammer though 👌 😳

Dude, send some of those parts down to me. I will vapor blast them for free.

Those Hondas are a rock

First job: Engine straight out and on the bench. ☺ 👍

This is easily turning into my favorite build!!!!! (EDIT) dang it I just made it to the end and you are scrapping it. If it has a title I would say it is worth saving.

Just did a 350 cl

had an impact screwdriver like that, was doing a small concrete job in my yard and told my son to use the cold chisel to clean up the edge of the pour. When i went to check after an hour wondering what was taking so long I saw my son with my impact screwdriver and a hammer chipping the edge of the concrete off 😆. In his defense it did a decent job lol

Awesome video these kind of condition bikes are the best videos. I had an xr250 in last build series also a big project

“Well, at least it does shift into gear… but you gotta use a hammer to do it” 😂 too funny

Worth good $ restored..........seen one go for 10 000 $ at auction

Heat the jug, loads of WD40 on the pistons then drive a wooden wedge in between the jug and the engine body to get the jug off...

That tool kit is a great score. Better put a GPS locator on that ten millimeter wrench before it grows legs lol

You make the most fascinating mechanic videos. I watch your channel a lot. You have a super great knack for determining what is salvageable. Cheers!

You gave up way too easy on this one. It was outside for 30 years - of course it's going to be rough! Mustie1 had one just like that & it too was siezed. He made a great series out of that bike by rustoring it...

My advice before undoing any fastening soak in wd40 or similar at least an hour beforehand. Then you diminish the chance of breaking or shearing studs etc etc.

Man that’s a cool lookin bike even tho it’s in bad shape keep up the good work

I have done a few bikes in this condition. I have found that the best option is to just strip it down to the frame and send it and other parts that can be powder coated straight to the shop. Soak the whole bike with PB Blaster for a few days before you tear into it. I have a manufacturing place in my small town. For a little over a $100 they strip the whole frame and powder coat it. It's called midstate. They specialize in large quantities of parts like brackets etc. They just fit the frame in the assembly line. For a basic color like black it is so cheap it is not worth the time or amount of money it would take me to do it myself. I had them do a couple RM 125 frames powder coated in Safety yellow that remarkably resembles Suzuki Yellow. They even had a blue for pre 89 Suzuki frame I had done. Just an idea to look into large manufacturers in the area for cheap and quality powder coating. Also bidding on cheap bolt lots for the bike on eBay is a great way to accumulate bolts.

i love these street bike videos, you have done a million dirt bikes, move on to more road bike content ! its a fresh direction

That's crazy how good of shape the seat is
