With 100bhp and a bespoke race-spec chassis, Fagan prepares for his racing comeback onboard the JHS Racing Suzuki SV650. Not bad for a happy shopper...
Like the gold & white XJR in the background aswell, James comes across as a good bloke with a good sense of humor & very knowledgeable with all types of motorbikes.
I love your interviews with James - as he spins us through the fascinating ingredients of his racing machinery. Keep 'em coming Al; and enjoy your weekend at Castle Combe givin' that trick SV the berries.
I was entered for the races this weekend, ,but ran out of talent two months ago and busted my collar bone and thumb. popper down to support some friends and saw that you still know what you 're doing. My nipper called it when he remarked on the fast but chunky lad on the supertwin. Good effort mr Fagan!
I had this bike coming past me at castle coombe this month like I was stood still, I was on Gsxr 1000 😳. I believe William was riding, Jesus he was quick! Awesome bike
James is becoming very comfortable with the camera, and adds lots of knowledge and humor. What a fun channel, I want to come visit the UK just to see you mutts.
James is such a top bloke, down to earth and funny AF. He`s done work on some of my bikes and always delivered the results, big power and better feel. GO JHS :) My only gripe with the SV was that the frame doesn`t handle when the power goes up, it writhes around a bit. James` answer : Yes they do that.
Brilliant! The front end of this Supertwin is tricked out to the max. Fantastic stuff. I'm saving for an SV to race the Minitwins come next year. Filling out my forms atm. Best of luck Fagan! Lots of love from Glasgow!
I'm absolutely gutted about this timing. You announce your going to be returning to racing and showing up at the track next to my house this weekend and I'm riding up to do the north coast 500 tomorrow morning so I'll miss it. Could have bought you a pint! Would have been good to see you race man. Good luck. I'll be watching it from Scotland as soon as you post.
Is there anyway we can support the racing side of things Al? Doing it myself in Oz I know its not cheap, but the content we get here and all the effort you guys put in, I'm sure I'm not the only one that would like to help if we can. Cheers
Buy merch here I guess.... 44teeth.com/44rewards/44t-merch/ Also tell your upside-down racing buddies to import James' special sauce, and let him know Al sent you
You guys in the UK are lucky to have Moto Mechs! If we break a bike in the US we have to throw it away because it would cost a large fortune to get it fixed and the Mechs here take FOREVER! So jealous.
AWESOME!!! I was always hoping you would get back into racing. Please put out your race schedule so we can track your results. James...AWESOME... enough said!!!
6:13 "Can we have a look at that?" "No. No.. no.. no.. no.. no....." "we can't look at that, that's out of bounds?" "well, nothing's out of bounds, is it? D'you wanna look at it?" "yeah" "really?" *eyes going back and forth* "no" ""no?" "no."
That bike's so good it broke down ;) it was cracking to watch when it was working. I reckon you could have gave Will a run for his money if you didn't have bad luck.
Second trickest. I build an Sv 650 with a friend. We took the cams out of the front cylinder and converted the front cylinder to a piston supercharger. For the rear cylinder. It runs on a stand-alone ecu and sits in the garage under the work bench 😂
JHS Racing can't fault the level of effort they put into this race series. That sort of race prepped bike for between £8-12,000 is bloody amazing. Most riders will never be good enough to outride this level of machine. What good value it is for a high level of technology. Exciting, close raciing too.
I'm sure James would build you one when you have the money. All those years R&D/Knowledge are just floating around in that huge brain of his, for guys like us. Plus he looks like he just gets a kick outta making these beasts
All them beautiful parts and then those crappy series Progrip's. I have Progrip's myself but that particular series was so hard on the hands at the track bc they are so thin. Still get a thumbs up 👍. As a TL1000R owner i love this bike you guys built, im jealous a bit. Why the factory levers and perches? Such a good build.
So how does one get a JHS heel plate(s) for 6th gen VFR800? That would be some serious bling to impress the chaps down at the coffee shop meet ups with. Ship to Canada? Oh yeah, best of luck Mr. F4G4N, bike looks awesome.
More of this sort of thing. Some people imagine racing 'em, some people imagine building 'em.
Yep, Al's going racing. More distractions from doing good 44teeth vids. Fuck Off Grenville. -Respectfully
Love the JHS garage videos you guys made. They are between some of the best content 44Th offers (and there is a lot of good content!).
James is the best part of 44T
James will always be that extra special gem apart of your channel. I love seeing him talk about bikes and help you guys with all your fun adventures.
I think James is the third 44Teeth "member"...well he is .
No, we don't want that..The great chemistry is from Al & Baron
@@Dave.S.TT600 Some of us do want that. Sorry mate.

Good luck Al, love it, my first "proper" bike was an SV650!
Oh shit.. ill be racing against you this weekend ! Im on a minitwin but still entered the supertwins so ill wave as you lap me! :)
I had this bike coming past me at castle coombe this month like I was stood still, I was on Gsxr 1000 😳. I believe William was riding, Jesus he was quick! Awesome bike

Im American and I must say i love you guys!! James is awesome. Must be biased as im James as well!! Love this channel
he might not look up to much,but he knows his stuff alright
ste holmes I find him to be quite an attractive man to be frank
i do too, i'm just playing 'hard to get'
Good work - he usually responds quite well to that.
Are you kidding?!? That's the best bit.
@@MajorRiefenstahl gaaaaay
Good luck for the weekend... looking forward to the footage when it comes
James is the best. Thanks for another great video guys!
Seen James racing at Brands Hatch on his SV .... Class act I have to say..
James is such a top bloke, down to earth and funny AF. He`s done work on some of my bikes and always delivered the results, big power and better feel. GO JHS :) My only gripe with the SV was that the frame doesn`t handle when the power goes up, it writhes around a bit. James` answer : Yes they do that.
Again, James is the best 44T member. Love this man. Cheers

Lots of love from Glasgow!
Love it. All this crankshaft talk makes me wanna crank my shaft. Love the videos guys, absolute pissa
James needs a youtube channel of him just speaking about the workings of bikes. Top guy that.
4 years later still waiting for JHS to sell the Domino's/McDonalds buttons
James seems like a top notch guy! Can't wait to see the ride video! 👊😎
This guy is a freaking genius! I wish he could work on my bike here in the US.
I absolutely love this channel! Thanks guys.
Brilliant and James is a living Legend.

As a Pom living in oz, I would love to send $$$ back to the motherland to support 44teeth and JHS for their content and contribution to the channel.
Al back to racing and more footage of JHS. Love it! Kick some arse Al!
Good luck for the weekend Al + Team
You guys in the UK are lucky to have Moto Mechs! If we break a bike in the US we have to throw it away because it would cost a large fortune to get it fixed and the Mechs here take FOREVER! So jealous.
95-100bhp sv! I would love to try it
Best of luck at the weekend. Nursing a mild chubby over the content lately, keep it going
I could watch James all afternoon
Good luck at the weekend mate, please post your results next week.
He doesn't say Pacifically? 😂 ahhh, i love him
Love Jimmy. 7:20 "allerr-nayy-err" Took a second go to realise what he was on about :)
I’ve honestly been waiting for this since they came out with the new SV650
Looking forward to seeing Al in action!!! U better win big boy!
This is awesome! more content like this please!!! Good luck with the racing JHS & Al.... (starts eBay searching for an SV650 trackbike...)
AWESOME!!! I was always hoping you would get back into racing. Please put out your race schedule so we can track your results. James...AWESOME... enough said!!!
Beauty of a Falco behind ya.
James got so much knowledge, he's insane.
amazing!!! Can't wait to see the vids about this project!!!
Top blokes. And the way James' eyes sparkled when he said "Dymagssss" at 4:30 lol, priceless.
Awesome content, proper authentic bike chat!
Never clicked anything so fast. :D Hope all is well at the 44teeth camp!
Un-missable watching. love it
Excellent! Love the xjr in the background.......
Always look forward to your videos. Wish my bike had a Domino's/McDonald's button!
Thanks for being a little open about what goes into these bikes. Makes me wonder what miracles are inside that engine that he hasnt mentioned haha
Damn, as an ex-sv650 owner we need more of this!
Worked the crank.. means you incredible the stroke?
Cracking bike, Great stuff as usual keep it up lads.
6:13 "Can we have a look at that?" "No. No.. no.. no.. no.. no....." "we can't look at that, that's out of bounds?" "well, nothing's out of bounds, is it? D'you wanna look at it?" "yeah" "really?" *eyes going back and forth* "no" ""no?" "no."
Will be up Castle Combe both days, see you there Jason! 😁👌🏽
Just make sure the bike doesn't mount YOU, and you'll do fine this weekend. Look forward to seeing you on the podium!
i feel like everyone needs there own james
That bike's so good it broke down ;) it was cracking to watch when it was working. I reckon you could have gave Will a run for his money if you didn't have bad luck.
"the result *you'll* be getting on it will reflect in the sale price" NO PRESSURE
Hi James what about running it alternator-less, just off a LiPo battery? Might not work for TT distances but short circuit… Save even more weight
These look so much nicer than the stock sv/gladius, wish they had fairings like this for the road.
Second trickest. I build an Sv 650 with a friend. We took the cams out of the front cylinder and converted the front cylinder to a piston supercharger. For the rear cylinder. It runs on a stand-alone ecu and sits in the garage under the work bench 😂
wtf
If i lived near I would take my bike there for everything, those guys @JHS clearly know their shit
Good luck on the weekend Al.
JHS Racing can't fault the level of effort they put into this race series. That sort of race prepped bike for between £8-12,000 is bloody amazing. Most riders will never be good enough to outride this level of machine. What good value it is for a high level of technology. Exciting, close raciing too.
I hope suzuki re introduces the sv1000. Such fun and bulletproof bikes for reasonable money.
Leaves the gem till last..
For a moment I thought it said "The trikest Suzuki SV650 ever".
I was like "Wtf? It has 3 wheels?"
what fork and forkclamps where used?, thanks
After watching this I wanna take my L6 in for a bit of JHS modification.
Damn that bike is going to worth a mint when Al podiums that bad boy.
The technical speech is very interesting! James is a leg-end 👍
wow i love the falco on the back
90 at the wheel ?? 😮 I bet that puppies some fun !! 🫡
Are the rear fairing brackets stock sv650 headlight brackets??
Ooooohh, nice! Looking forward to this. James is a legend. Buy him a beer, or maybe a pint of oil.
Love Jame’s sense of humour... 👍🏽 will bring my bike down once it’s built. For his tuning and Dyno... No 😂
I would love to see a Honda NC 750 race build from you guys!!
Sweet. Good luck Al.
Good luck lads!
"The result you'll be getting on it will be reflected in the sales price" OUCH!
1:08 im in love with that orange bike
That would be a Yamaha XJR 1300, custom painted.
Was this bike suppose to be Hill Climbing in Jersey on the Bank Holiday Monday? Saw an entry for a JHS Racing SV650, but it was a no show. Looks mint.
If this was available for retail, priced as if it was mass production, I believe I would have found find me my next bike to buy.
Oliver Katen Ki
GSXS 750 Would be a Good bike for you maybe?
If you really want it you will find a way. Would take a little effort to street legal it and good luck with the insurance.
Shouldn't be more expensive than a 600 supersports though, hence I said mass production pricing. Need to increase my income ;)
Looking for testrides when I have the money - hoping next year
I'm sure James would build you one when you have the money.
All those years R&D/Knowledge are just floating around in that huge brain of his, for guys like us. Plus he looks like he just gets a kick outta making these beasts
More top stuff from the boys.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that's a SFV650 (Gladius)... Definitely a Gladius dash... Obviously not much left of the rest of it!
I could sit and listen to James talk bike shit for hours, hell i'd even bring several tins of assorted biscuits!!!!!!!!!!
Which coolent hoses are uou using the bkue ones
All them beautiful parts and then those crappy series Progrip's. I have Progrip's myself but that particular series was so hard on the hands at the track bc they are so thin. Still get a thumbs up 👍. As a TL1000R owner i love this bike you guys built, im jealous a bit.
Why the factory levers and perches? Such a good build.
What year gsx750 swing arm and and front end is that?
Been looking for to decat my Suzuki Gladius all year. Not a single forum or person genuinely can find one. Could anyone help please?
what base model is it?
Is this a 4th gen frame?
I would love to see the airbox and throttle bodies.
Thanks for
the nice video and explanations
I'm hooked !
Guys, please do more with James!
So how does one get a JHS heel plate(s) for 6th gen VFR800? That would be some serious bling to impress the chaps down at the coffee shop meet ups with. Ship to Canada?
Oh yeah, best of luck Mr. F4G4N, bike looks awesome.
Would love a racing weekend vlog 👌
