Kroil oil. Is king!!
Very helpful. I replaced mine yesterday and wasn't sure if the free-floating disk went inside or behind the new gasket. Your video answered the question for me. Thanks!
Nice video im having same issue on my 82 suzuki gs1100gk for rpm amd speedometer bouncing at high speeds
Please lets us know here if this works out for you.
Howdy! I just did. . use digisync to check my '81 Suzuki GS450L. It runs so well before checking, and as predicted both carb's were measuring 56/57. I never tampered with the idle settings during carb cleaning. I have 2 '81 Yamaha XJ650's that are next! Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the feedback
Go to the pharmacy and ask for a bottle of Methyl Sylicate. It was $6.00 last time I bought it. It’s otherwise known as wintergreen oil. Put it on whatever you’re trying to free up. Caution it’s very flammable. Give it a bit and disassemble whatever you’re trying to disassemble. We used this in the Navy to disassemble jet engines and I have used it for 40+ years as a professional aircraft technician. The last time I went to buy a can of Kroil it was $28.00 at Tractor Supply. You’re welcome.
I used new speedometer cable but there is no change in shaking. I don't know what to do???
A new cable could still need to be greased. If it’s not the cable it’s the speedo itself.
I used both cable and speedo there is no response. Infact I used new odameter from hero splendor plus.. But not......
Iam facing this problem in my honda shine but there is no solution at all 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Mystic Metal Mover!!!!! Get some. NOTHING ELSE COMES CLOSE.
That is a gorgeous bike.👍
Bid away. Bike can be shipped anywhere
Sounds beautiful!
Right, Great build and tuning by Pat Brown
My first dirtbike was this EXACT same bike and i also had a 1973 Suzuki ts125 duster red with a bkue stripe instead of white. And that black Mercedes Benz W202 is exactly like my 1996 C36 AMG
It’s a great bike and the seller got a good price on Motonexus
Nice 👍
Thanks
I worked as a mechanic for a Honda dealership for 30 years .. I have the special valve adjustment tools from Honda Canada for every Honda model .. I've set hundreds of these ...
That’s a lot of valve jobs, thank you
Can we apply bearing grease???
That would work.
What's the lube is this???
I need to do this on my 750. It's been a couple years since I've checked the valves...and I feel like I've gotten more skilled with the feeler gauges since then. Those .002's are tricky to set. It's a such a thin feeler gauge. i have an older Triumph that's .008 and .010, which are way easier to set correctly. Looks like that manual has a typo. It says .02 inches for inlet and .003 inches for exhaust. Should be .002 and .003.
This procedure is part of a four-step process of adjusting the cam chain tensioner, valves, checking the timing, and finally, synchronizing carbs. The old service manual has several errors. You're correct, .02 in should be .002 in. I think I said two-thousandths in the video. I always try to work with millimeters when working on any bike that was designed and built using millimeters; helps avoid conversion mistakes.
Thank you. That's a clear and concise instructional video. I've done this job on my CB750 but it's been a while. Not sure if I checked the #1 intake valve to make sure it was loose. I'll do it again just to be sure. Is the carb sync video next? I have trouble getting the screw in brass tubes into some of the carbs because the choke linkage seems to get in the way a bit. I've snapped a couple brass tubes that came with my Morgan CarbTune Pro. Left just the threaded part in the carb port, which was fun to get out.
Thank you. Always nice to know someone is out there watching me piddle around in the shop. When I think about a motor, everything has to be synchronized, so I view synching the carbs as just one part of the whole job. Adjusting the cam chain tensioner is the first step. The next step is setting the valve gaps (lash). The third step is to check/adjust the timing. The final step is to sync the carbs. In the final video, I'll be using the Digisync digital carb sync tool.
The best ATF is Dexron II D. I managed to find a 20 ltr drum of that in a garage sale a few years ago - all it gets used for is mixing with acetone... I was introduced to that mix by mechanics back in the early 80's, we found the later ATF fluids just not quite as aggressive when things are really rusted up.
That when a motorcycle looked like a motorcycle!
Right! Love these bikes
Those were great times
Better than a 125 Yamaha. They a generator that would fail to charge the battery and would fail completely when the battery was dead. Some Suzuki's had the same problem, but I forget which models. A lot of those old bikes would not run when the battery drained and were not sufficient to keep a new battery charged. A Yamaha 175 was a good bike and so was a 250. A 360 was utter failed garbage.
Bro looks like George Lucas
You never know….
@@motonexustheshopIhad a DT 125 Yamaha 1972. I then bought a 1974 CR 125 Honda. Those were my best years. Great Suzuki you have.
@@lightworker4512 Those were great bikes
Great Bike! You Lucky Duck! I Always Thought It Was Cool That Suzuki & Others Named Their Enduros In The Early '70's. Thank You.
Coming up for auction April 11th

The starter always sucked power from the ignition when cold.
test fail !
Thank you! I have used a number of US old gun cleaning recipes and one that is similar to yours is “Ed’s Red”, my favourite. So this works😊
Another formula worth looking into, thank you
I have used your Loose nut solutions for years. Mixing the fluid every time helps.
Great tip!
The heat from the flame of a propane torch before and after the application of any rust penetrating fluid is often necessary, time and patience, to return and do the treatment multiple times... even letting the fastener cool and soak until the next day. Or just cut break and replace if it's not in a tight spot or the fastener is for whatever reason, unobtainable.
Acetone and ATF 50/50. Works well.
Is ur Bride aware that u r using her container from the kitchen that is a fat separator or am I exposing my ignorance by not knowing that it is actually a garage measuring cup? 🤯😁
LOL! It’s actually a measuring cup I only use in the shop
lighter fluid and transmission fluid work well
thank you-I work on old car's old tractors and old trailers, anything old .I've used all the regular penetrating oils ,fluids and this is helpful .not everybody can run to the store every time you need something ,necessity is the mother of invention .thank you
Thank you. I hope you'll subscribe. Let me know if there are any topics I should cover. I often skip the video, thinking nobody is going to care about what I'm doing today.
Take it for a rip.
As someone who's done research and worked with rusty bolts for over 50 years, I can tell you that your test did not address the efficacy of the 3 fluids as a penetrating/ loosening agent. You probably tested relative viscosity. If you wanted to test for their true penetrating/ loosening ability you would have needed to uniformly rust all 9 threaded nots & bolts, then applied each fluid, allow them to work for a specified period of time, then use a torque meter to determine which came loose the easiest. Also, there are people who allow penetrating fluids to properly marinate rusted surfaces before attempting to loosen.... I let a rusted glove box on a '56 Chevy marinate for over a day to allow it to finally loosen up... PB Blaster worked great!!!
Thanks for watching.
Making your own penetrating oil is the biggest waste of time. I"m a professional aircraft mechanic and I don't have time to fool around making some "magic" penetrating oil. Just buy a can of Kroil and get back to work. Expensive but it works. And BTW, WD-40 is not penetrating oil; it's terrible for that purpose.
Kroil is a good product, I just didn't have it in the shop the day I shot the video. Thanks for watching
Project Farm showed atf and acetone is best. Don’t waste time with anything else, except liquid wrench which was a close second.
@@WalterMelonsthanks for the tip, I’ll take a look at project farm
please try kroil.... I once saw an article about stuck nut looseners ets in Home Machinist IIRC. It listed the 3 you had plus Kroil and I think one other that I cannot remember. That was before I became a trained gunsmith. I used Kroil a lot on really stuck threads of machine screws and threaded metal frames and had great results.
Thanks for the comment. Kroil is a good product. Of all the store brands, Kroil requires the least amount of torque to remove a nut. That day, I just used what I had on the shelf; no Kroil.
Hit a large dog that was crossing the highway one night on mine.Just didnt see the dog until i hit it going about 60mph.The low center of gravity and chunkiness of this bike saved me as I managed to keep it up on two wheels. Loved my water buffalo,
Such an iconic sound.
Diese Kisten waren berüchtigt. Toller Motor, aber der Rahmen war eher ein Fahrradrahmen
what an awesome bike!
Thanks for this video. good job. Question for you, Is there enough space under the tank cover to run wiring for a power supply to the battery for aux lights up front?
Not sure you’d fit anything in the tank area. You could route wires under the panels. You probably just need a CANBUS to make an easy connection.
@motonexustheshop Thanks for the quick response. Yeah, figure I'll go that route
Beautiful Buffalo. ❤ I've never seen one so fresh.
Thanks for watching
Let’s hear it
It's a 'GT' 750 or Kettle as they are fondly known FFS
That’s a typo
Neighbor and i used to bomb around the fields on 1 of those riding doubles lol
They are still just as much fun
That’s such a great memory
Wow! Nice, I'm 58 and had a CT70 when I was 12. Like kids do, I beat the heck out of that thing! I got all 3 of my friends including me on it at the same time and that little machine pulled us around. Mine had handle bars that you could collapse and chrome on fenders and lights. I took a girlfriend for a ride on the back and her scarf got tangled up in my rear sprocket! Too funny.
Great. I will give it a go. Not a Honda but a universal problem no doubt! Then I have to find out why the gear select indicator ain't working!
Thanks for the comment. What bike are you having the gear selection indicator problem with?
