Not many who can just go about the workshop and keep it so real and entertaining ... kudos Chris

Chris is an amazing ambassador of our sport.

Don’t forget to take your new spanner with you when you go to the Motul oil lab ..very very handy

How did I miss this great to see the bike again.

That makes two big spanners in the garage Chris. Great series!

Awesome video! That picture of Chris on the thumbnail is priceless! Best!

Just fitted R&G crash protection to my 2022 BMW S1000RR M Sport for the price of them well worth it. Watching you do the crash test using the MT10 pushed me into buying the kit for mine . Ride safe me old mucker 😎👍

Enjoying these, love seeing a bike brought back to life👍

This is the best thumbnail I’ve ever seen

17:06 You should precharge these batteries, and you can do it right after the acid container is empty. Just lay the top cap gently over the holes so when it sizzling and bubbling it can still air out while not spitting out acid. Once that battery is precharged, you push down the top cap to seal the battery, and you're done. This was how we did it all the time when I worked at a motorcycle dealer, and I've done a lot of these. We also always precharged the gel batteries that come pre-filled and sealed up.

I would be interested in an oil test video. As long as includes, how to sign up for it, how long it takes and how much it costs.

Seconded

That air filter looks toast

Loud pipes wake the neighbours 👍

Exhaust Sound very similar to me

My 750 was written off die to a scratch on the frame weld. It looks perfect as of now lol. Got 4k off normal price I'm not mad about it!

Two elements of oil that need renewing- the anti wear additives and detritus particles. If you renew the first and clean out the second, as long as the oil was never burnt due to over heating, it can be re-used again if done professionally. They've been renewing spent oil for at least 40 years.

I'd be getting the rattle cans out and doing the whole bike in that yellow colour. 😃

Another great video, thank you. Did you film the making of the GSXR off road bike? Be good to see that.

Thanks Chris. How about a set of aftermarket body panels from Amazon ( China)?

Enjoying the series! That battery needs charging before use though or it wont last

Progress! I'm glad you explained the bizarre thumbnail! By the way, will you put it through the MoT with the Austin exhaust or the standard can? 🤔

At last!

I bought a old zzr1100 and spent the end of the winter getting ready for mot, the other day I got it ready and took it for mot, when I went back to get it they failed it for the vin being obviously tampered with, to me it looked OK but it turns out its stamped the wrong way up. Does anyone know if apart from reframing it is there anything else I can do. Love the show by the way its a show for the lads by a good lad.

[3:33] Not sure about BritainLand but here in DutchLand you can't buy battery acid anymore. That is unless you have some type of valid car/bike service shop license.

After filling the battery with acid let it sit or otherwise air for an hour until the bubbling stops. Then seal and fully charge the battery before using. At least that is what I do.

When it’s time to ride it, go to Portimao for 3 days. We’ll get plenty of content then 😁

Make it the quickest and fastest S 1000 RR.

There's a bottle of John Daniels sitting on the shelf. Level hasn't moved since the beginning of this project. What gives?

Lots of good reasons given for getting oil analysed but how?

Would welcome any advice guys. My son crashed his RC125 a few weeks ago and to repair was going to be 6k according to dealer. We bought another for 3.2k (makes no sense) but need to know what to do with the crashed one. he came off and the tank kit a rock. Everything lower than the tank is fine (except fairings). Engine runs with no leaks, its only done 1k miles. Should we sell a a job lot or get a new tank so it can run and try to sell after fixing ? We are a bit stumped. Thank you for any advice.

Hi, sorry to hear that, hope he's OK and not put off. Did you go through your insurance?

Thing is, is that motul half recycled considerably cheaper than the usual 5100/7100? I'm fine with it as long as it priced accordingly. If the price is the same and the main reason for using it is being eco-friendly, then it's not for me.

Why not lithium battery?

Why not just get a lithium battery?

A 37 pound bottle of 4t doesnt count for much in the face of a 4 grand bodywork bill

i like these old s1k more. newer ones are not for me.

Interested in oil analysis, not interested in recycle anything.

A slight OCD/ADHD moment @ 17:48. Personally, I like to 'tick off' jobs done rather than erase them... I can still see what I have already accomplished, rather than just see the future problems... OMG, I've turned into one of those people that leave advice in the comments because I genuinely believe that I know better! 😂
