@@lvkascole95 the valve lash was check, that was one of the reasons for disassembling the engine. Can’t see it in the video, but I used when assembling it, plus I cranked the engine without the fuel pump, to let the oil go thru the oil passages before starting it.

@ if you used it that’s good, but my recommendation is to use more next time, if you can’t see it you’re probably not using enough, even cranking the engine without ignition can be damaging without enough lubrication. Maybe next time you’re doing an engine rebuild you can show the process of checking the valve clearances as a point of interest?

@ will try to do so when an opportunity arises to show it again

@@tgap8817 the chain goes around the crankshaft, if you don’t want to add a master link or re-press the chain back together, then you’ll have to disassemble the engine completely

@@gamelizz have you checked the valve clearances? It could be worth taking off both covers and inspecting the engine from the sides. Also check if the tensioner is actually applying any pressure to the chains guide.

@restorationvalve really appreciate your comment. I havent checked them in this service cycle but i will have to and check from the sides as well. Cheers🎉

@@antoniotenacefishingrod9573 hard to understand you, I’m not familiar with your language. I presume you mean that you have a seized engine. If you want to know if it’s worth fixing, that’s all depends on how much you want to spend on the bike. It definitely won’t be cheap.

@@RRRRefuelRideRace the air filter isn’t that bad, you just have to remove the side plastics and fuel tank to get to the air filter cover.

@@restorationvalve I see. A bit more of screwing. :) Can check my content when you can. Cheers bro.

@@mementomori4972 thanks for the input👍. Can share that the engine in the video is happily running. Did the same on my red DR, after 8000km the engine is still running strong.

@@restorationvalve It will run, even if the shaft is out of spec but it won't run optimal and it will wear faster and you fckng know it!..There is a reason why it takes time and costs money to get a crank true and balanced but if your excuse for doing things like that to a customers bike is, "bUt iT rUns" then you're beyond good advice anyways. I'm just sorry for your customers.

@@DominicPace-r5y not that bad, I got it out thru the back door. You just have to be patient and work slow.

@@restorationvalvethanks! I’ve seen in other videos where they pulled out all the seats, steering wheel and centre console. Seemed a bit over the top, glad I don’t have to pull the whole car apart!

@@DominicPace-r5y nothing that special, you already described everything. Just go slowly, step by step and it will come out.

@@Coolbreeze72 the fairing is original for the RS model

@@konstruktus I personally haven’t mounted these bars on a kickstart RS, but I have seen the kickstart models with these bars, I assume that they do fit.

Thanks! Here is a link to the video, the link for the screen should be in the video description. ruclips.net/video/GDe8LwLjH8M/видео.html&ab_channel=Restorationvalve

@restorationvalve thank you for your reply. I'm afraid the link doesn't work anymore. Is there maybe an other way to find this windscreen?

@@dillpickels2000s I ordered it from a supplier that’s on eBay, for a reasonable sum, but recently it looked like the price had skyrocketed.

@restorationvalve Could you please share the link?

@@Anthony-t8y1n I’ve changed it later, in a separate video

@@Pottema I never found out, it didn’t have any marking, or at least none that I found.

@restorationvalve mké thx.

@@seer7327 Yeah, you could try applying some force to it, but just with cousin. Make double sure that everything is unbolted before attempting it. It could be possible that some has applied some sealant underneath it.

@@restorationvalve Thank you! I managed to pry it off using a plastic pry tool on the bottom edge of one side while applying force with my hand on the other. I sprayed some penetrating/lubricating fluid and that also likely helped.

@@Roolis77 for the internal bolt I usually use blue Locktite, something like 242 or equivalent that’s meant for mild strength
