Rear Wheel Bearings, Triumph Speed Triple 1050 2007

This 1050 is new to me, and it needed quite a bit of work even with only 1,945 miles on the gauge.
The rear bearings were one of the last things it needed, and needless to say, the love-centric melodies that play in this video match how I feel for this Triple. :)
After replacing:
Both tires, battery, fork seals, front brake rotors, spark plugs; Rebuilding the front calipers, oil change and flush fluids;
A pretty loud humming noise became more and more present while riding, especially at about 80mph and above. A...

Most motorcycle hydraulic reservoir sight glass parts are the same 18mm diameter plastic viewing window encased in thin metal and installed over an oring. Aftermarket replacements are easy to find an inexpensive. When removing an old sight glass, DO NOT SCRATCH THE SURFACE where the sight glass lives. Definitely consider flushing new fluid through the whole system, not just the fluid in the res...

Carburetor Float Valve Leak Test, Harley Davidson Sportster XL883 2002 Motorcycle Repair
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.Год назад
When rebuilding or inspecting a carburetor, always do this check before final assembly! If your carburetor leaks from the overflow tube, the float valve may not be sealing properly. This test will easily and undeniably prove whether the float valve actually stops incoming fuel flow. Most often, a float valve leak is incredibly slow, taking hours or longer to overfill the carb. Do this test to m...

Well done👍🏼congrats
Excellent job young man.
Where did you get the split seal and bushing driver in the video ??
You deserve so many more subs!! I still think the V65 Magna is the coolest looking motorcycle of all time. Something about them! What a great video man! Thank you!
That was one of the most beautiful videos I've ever watched. Incredible job! I just finished restoring an '83 Sabre. Not nearly as extensive as you've done with this Magna. I hope to find one of these next. It is definitely quite a feeling to bring something like this back to life. So ahead of it's time!
@@stevenwlaura1 This is really incredible to read. Thank you so much! No matter what level it's done to, restorations are extremely intense. Worth it all on these bikes!! Thank you very much for sharing!
38 years and 72.000 miles I still love riding mine 😊
man what a great job i would love for you to replace my fork seal see you know what you doing
@@reginldjones6824 Thank you!! Located in Colorado Springs 😉
You do a great Job Thank you for posting this Video👌✌
@@MrKing1961 Thank you for thanking me! I do often wonder if there's any point in doing all this. 🤔
just re watched it again. brilliant clear video. Beautiful condition vfr as well. Cute dog. Cheers for doing this. a PICTURE PAINTS A THOUSAND WORDS.
why use locktite Red you should have used Locktite Blue
@@SOLONHEATING I used the one I believed would keep the bolts from backing out.
good mechanic. excellent attention to detail. ive just got a 94. vfr. off late twin brother. going to re commision it. Cheers.
Man thank the lord !!! I have a V65 that was taken apart over 5 years ago and am trying to put it all back together but have been really stuck on how it all goes .Thanks to just a couple of things I have seen here have been such a big help just seeing things that I seem to have lost over time and moving house, I am really hoping I can do this project this coming year as I ain't gettin any younger so big thanks for what you have put on here as I need all the help I can get to get her up and running .Bits have been an issue for me here in the UK so I am having to use cleaned up original pieces where I can , I have a Haynes manual but it isn't a big help .Many thanks to you and have a fabulous Christmas and new year .😊👌👍
Oh man! I appreciate the magnitude of your project. I'm so glad the videos help!! You're encouraged to send progress photos and or questions about the bike, earned philosophies on life, or anything else to buildguild@uneducatedengineer.com Good luck! THANK YOU!!
I've seen a LOT of self-repair videos, and yours my good man, is the best I've seen yet. Kudos for that! Were torque settings required?
Yes, everything was torqued to spec, but I hadn't yet layed out how to display the values in the video when I made this one. Also, coming from an aviation background, I've been conditioned to always look up the spec for every torque every time, so this mindset kind of stole the values from the video. If you were to call any of your local dealer shops, they should be able to tell you any technical data you need. Thank you for the glowing compliment!! ✨️
Good build! I have always liked these. I had an 01 VFR, loved it. My neighbor has the 86 Magna 550..I might have to get the small one!
Thank you! The Magna really is a unique bike, and it's pretty incredible to ride.
This is gold my friend. I have the same v65 🎉
it is one heck of a bike! THANK YOU!! 🥰
Congrats! Nicely done !!!
Thank you!! 🥰
Great video
Absolutely beautiful! The reveal was awesome. Congratulations on the success.I know the challenge it was for the undertaking to complete this project. I have two 1984s myself. I have slated to do the same thing to at least one of them. I'm finding parts to be a challenge though. I was wondering if you would be willing to share your sources.
I can help you on your quest. 😉 buildguild@uneducatedengineer.com
The road test proves these are truly fast?! 😂
Hahaha yeah! Blasting through neighborhoods at 200kph, about as slow as this beast can go. 😉 Thanks for watching
Would you consider selling it? I had a maroon 83 model too. Would love to have one again. BTW, great workmanship.
Thank you!! Unfortunately, it is not for sale. The story of this one is that, once upon a time, a v65 was loved, then lost. Until one day a faded, forgotten shop ornament of decades past appeared. 2 years of whip-cracking labor and quite a few parts later, the fantasy manifested. Thank you for watching! I wish you the best of luck finding your 83 again!!
@ Thank you for sharing.
Just like the Lead Wing but sooooo easier, no spending 4 hours removing the excess plastic bits on draining the coolant. 😂
Gosh those fairings are tough!! Lead wing! ahahaa that's fun, I like that. Thanks for watching!!
well done! I like the torque numbers!
This is very enjoyable to watch great job alex keep at it!!! 👍👏
The beginning rev up is 🔥
💥❤️🔥💥
Video would have been better if you TALKED MORE and explained every step you were doing😢
Thank you, I go back and forth about this topic a lot. You have been heard
Incredible! What a beauty, restored! Thank you for restoring this motorcycle.
Who restored who!?! hahaha. Thank you very much
looks like the quality higher than harley.. is that right?
uummm, well, hmm. Let's put it this way, Harleys have their own 'genre' of quality. It's almost like apples to oranges. 😆
Great video bro, I'll sub
hahaha niiice. Thank youu!
@@vintagemotorcyclerepair Keep em comin'
I love this, all the stuff I didn't do - this video does not do justice to the amount of hidden work polishing, taking the time to clean those awkward corners, finish, finish, finish. I salute your modest display of so much effort. Bike looks great, now I have to do mine properly. :)
Right you are. lots of hours. and countless camera battery changes in the middle of shots. then there's the tb of film to get lost in!!! 😵💫🐲 The project was a pleasure to complete, including all the time spent crying about it. haha. Your salute brings me great honor 🎖
I just got mine running :) now I have to restore it too :) This is Awesome, nice job
Running is often the whole battle! Nice job ;)
Хотел в межсезонье тем же заняться, но зимой в неотапливаемом гараже не смог вытащить корпус воздушного фильтра, настолько задубела резина. Пришлось отложить до весны)
Холодная резина усложняет тяжелую работу. Тепловая пушка мало что делает в американский холод, и примерно десятую часть этого в российский холод;) Удачи, друг.
How much was this cat’s bill…..?
I love it….. your work that is …
aaaawwww!!!! thx! 🙂🙃🫠
Too bad you can’t John Holmes extend that asking arm assembly 2” ….!
Excellent travail 👍✌
"we play til I win".... I've heard that somewhere - awesome video
Mr. Honda Jim taught me that one ;)
I love it except the wind heald !
I'm always to and fro about wind screens, but after hundreds of miles, I prefer them. 👩🔧
Where are you located ? I wish you were in florida, but from the test drive, you’re not…i have a 98 tourer from the box…I’m looking for a mechanic in south Florida…does anyone knows a good one ? Thanks👍🏼
@@imagehunter1 This is Colorado, I'm afraid I have no references in Florida. Good luck!!
This is actually my bike. I've owned it for about 14 yrs over which time it always had a few glitches to piss me off. Now I can fire it up and go for a ride anytime I please. I did all the paint, polishing and obtain the minor bits that make it what it is today. Alex did the motor work for which I am very pleased with. Love that classic style from the mid-70's.
When someone asks me what a V65 Magna is,I show them the commercial nothing else needs to be said. L.o.L.
Have you seen the 1983 commercial for this bike,coolest motorcycle commercial ever
I bought my 85 V65 new in 86 have 72.000 miles on it still ride it all the time,still almost show room condition,awesome job, love it.
@@SteveHuebner-o6z That's awesome! You knew this bike was cool before it was cool. I can't get over how smooth it feels, power delivery, cornering, it's pretty magical.
Have you seen the 1983 tv commercial for this bike now that is cool.
@@vintagemotorcyclerepair
@@vintagemotorcyclerepair
I've got one of these which has been in bits over 4 years and now I am trying to put her back together so this is very useful to me to see how things go back together early days but these visuals are a great help cheers gonna save this one 👌👍
@@crumblymal8479 Nice!! I'd like to see it!! (no pressure) I hope it goes well!!! buildguild@uneducatedengineer.com
beautiful bike and cool scenery, thanks
Good job buddy.
@@tomconte1765 Thx!
I have the exact bike and don't wanna sell it runs great but I'm indecisive weather to keep it or sell it but I know I'm never going to own another one in its condition.........can you help me decide.....as I know if I do sell it it's going to be a major mistake...love your vid and will share
@@Alexgomez411 Once upon a time, a v65 Magna was ridden and loved and then given away. A heartbreaking mistake. Fast forward many, many years later, and the best condition v65 that could be found was this one. It was pretty rough, and it took all of this plus everything I didn't show in the videos, and some crying and whining to bring it to this level. So. 1) if you already have one, 2) if you don't Need to sell it, 3) and there's no real problem with it, Then, other than all the regular servicing it would probably love to get, I can't fathom a reason to get rid of it.
@@vintagemotorcyclerepair thank you for the advice mine does need the pain in the ass valve adjustment and maybe a few nick nacks but still a good runner I’ll keep it
@@vintagemotorcyclerepair I feel you, mine was a hope and a dream turned nightmare, then dream, the realisation I still need to restore it, but gonna put some miles on it and take it camping first :) All my effort went into getting 1 more V65 alive again in the UK, now time to enjoy and then restore - I think
I would be interested if you decide to sell it.
Pretty awesome 😎
amazing - great quality work, love the torque balloons, beautiful work young man!!!
@@xangoboy1 This is the comment I've been waiting for! Hahaha. Thank you sir. Please let this video pay respect to the great Honda Jim 😉
Nice restoration but did you install a better oil lines into the rear cylinder?? Common on the magnas the rear cylinder don’t get enough oil and you end up burning the cams
@@Mannix2023 That's something nice to know! I haven't heard of that one yet. When I adjusted the valves, all the valvetrain looked good.
@@vintagemotorcyclerepair yes but the oem oil lines are to restricted and oil pressure is not enough to get enough oil to the rear cylinders , there is a kit on e bat you can buy and install is a very easy installation but your magna will last longer
@@Mannix2023 That does sound like a good thing to do! I will look into that. Thanks for sharing!!!
Looks nice, well done. Is your victory ride in Colorado ?
Thank you! Yes, Colorful Colorado :)
