Apologies to anyone interested but the bike sold an hour ago. The buyer was my 6th subscriber I believe so I'm very pleased he got it. For anyone else interested, my bikes sell very quickly always, you get the best deals but you have to be in contact and secure. As always thanks for watching and I can't believe I'm nearly at a thousand subs.

I'm so happy you got it running so good. I got my zzr600 up for sale. Got through its MOT yesterday no issues. Still running a bit rough though. If I sell it in time I will literally bite your arm off for this stunning beast. I love your videos by the way, this one is no exception.

That's great news Mike. I wonder why it's running a touch rough? It should sell if it's running well enough.

I have this exact bike. My tdi unit or whatever you call it was bad!! Grabbed one from eBay and was good!!

Hi John, yes it blew my mind trying to work out how it had spark but wasn't running well. It was the last logical thing to do. Swap the firing order. I love this bike.

Cool to see what you done to get it running Charlie, we were so close but also so far! Beth is my partner so no trouble caused :-)

David? You weren't far at all, getting the old oil filter out was a touch of a pain but OK in the end, you did the air filter and the plugs were easy to change over. The bike is mint in every other way so very little for me to do. Beth added the most value to this bike with here detailing work.

Good video

Hi buddy, our page is motorcycle rescuer and jakecorb parts on ebay. Join the group mate

Watchers, you know my deal. You get the best prices. £1500 is the everywhere price. I prefer my watchers to get the best deals so ideally you guys could have it for £1250. I am going to be picky as to who buys it though and the new owner will basically get a free to run bike and then make a few hundred when they decide to move it on. I love this bike so won't easilly part ways with it unless I think it's going to be looked after. This is a historic vehicle of 40 years yet runs better then modern 500cc bikes.

You should get that Charley.that’s nice off you to give people a hand. Could have done with you to get my Kawasaki 750 engine out. Keep up good work Charley 👍❤️🔧🏍

Thanks Graham, you know me now for any future issues you may encounter.

Easy fix for you this time, worth having a look at the front brake hose as the brake is so spongy, may be good to change it for a braided one.

Yeh Andy, it was ment to be my winter project. The front brake is fine mate I doubt I'll get it any stronger, it's mainly that it's single disc that let's it down as its quiet a quick bike. I could change the lines and may do but ideally just want it to stay as original as possible. Thanks mate

For the firing order? Do you have 2 coils? It's normally Coil 1 on the left does cylinder 1 and 4 and coil 2 does 2 and 3. But you can find the exact firing order online if needed.

It'd be my first bike and it seems like a decent city bike. And I'm no stranger to fixing things I basically only have a vauge general idea. It's just mechanics and electrics.
