    I won't say you're doing it wrong but your holding the Chainsaw in the best way to cut your head off if it kicks back. Serious question, are you left handed? Right hand on the throttle and the bar should be right over on your right side. I like your channel and Subscribed so I don't want you to lose an arm or something more vital as I would miss your content. Been swinging a chainsaw for 35 years so I do know better. Cheers for the vid.

    Bought a bandit 600 Brand new in 1995. Used it quite a lot. After 17 bikes & 15 years. I was shocked as after It was left in the garage for a while it wouldn't start. Had to recut the valves back in as they wouldn't seat. Very strange. Shame as there was nothing about the bike I didn't like.

    The problem I see that there are gaping holes in chassis and panels. This would also mean remaining metal will of be compromised at this stage i.e. thinner. After repair this is still a danger to be on the road. If it was a one of the kind /classis OK, but it is not. So should have been junked and sold for parts and taken off the road

  • @StevenRobertTaylor
    @StevenRobertTaylorАй бұрын

    Hi, you are correct in your statement about the remaining metal being thinner, but that is just how aging vehicles goes. I check this car regularly, it has passed two more yearly safety inspections with no issues. I have checked the entire chassis over and it is still solid, in fact there is still factory paint on the front half in places. It is true it is not a one off classic but I have owned this for many years and there are no other ones I have seen in my local area. Scrapping it for parts is abit dramatic at this stage.

    Hi. If you are still blowing fuses the motor is overloading on startup.

If this is jammed solid then you have a problem in the oil side of pump or the motor. Thanks for watching!

    Hi, amazing that my videos are helping people in Poland! Yes very time consuming doing welding on old cars but if you can put the hard work in it's very rewarding! Always clean the metal back, get a good earth, mess with welder settings to get the correct current and take your time. Don't weld too much in one place or the metal can warp. Good luck with your restoration and thanks for watching!
