At 5:14 , what oil did you use ? Car engine oil or motorcycle engine oil ? I bought nissan 10w40 semi synthetic engine oil 4L for my new ninja 250, the price far cheaper than motorcycle oil.
Im not usually one for bikes, but this two part was really interesting so props for it! Are we getting a zero to 60 out of the bike now that it has a working clutch? lol
i don't bother with the gasket just use silicone, never had problems. it's just hard to dismantle but a couple of hits with a rubber hammer or paper cutter slits get the job done with ease. i saw a sloppy mechanic doing it once and out of desperation tried it out and never went back
Are you using motorcycle specific motor oil? If you’re not using JASO compliant oil with a wet clutch then you get clutch slip. You probably are, just checking after seeing that bulk 20L jug of oil you’ve got.
This is what I like to see! DIY using Aussie common sense
I always just used a hammer and tap the cardboard around the edge of the component, it creases the cardboard and is enough to cut out easily.

done cereal box gasket on a thermostat housing that didn't leak even under pressure, doubt you'll have much issue with just a bit of oil splashing
That deserves a Blue Peter badge! 😁
All his videos valid

Haha you read my mind. I may have already tried an acceleration run and that may have been the main reason for sorting out the clutch 😅

What a win 👌. So if I keep the 650 when I upgrade does that mean you'll come do a trip of the "isle"?
Now we’re talkin! 😎
Loving the bike stuff, next job sort the carbs out... A thorough clean and balance needed from the sounds of it
I usually use a ball peen hammer but I have used red grease on the gasket surface and cut it out like that too.
It's always better and safer to do the holes first before cutting out the gasket!!!
Also get yourself a cheap wad-punch set.👌
Yes true!
loving the 2 wheel content! keep her sticky side down :D
Always 😇
So manilla folder really works? I thought it would get oil logged and wick out and then drip?
No it always seems to hold. I don’t know the science behind it but…. It works 👍😅
This Dudes Bad Ass!
Haha,,is that a pissy ZXR250 with the star wars induction hoses,,had one or those 😂
Haha I’d never made the star wars connection before but I see where you’re coming from 😂
why not just use the old gasket for reference to draw around?
Why was all the riding scenes filmed in slo mo?

It's not a great idea to use razor blades on gasket surfaces, you can, but you need tobe VERY careful.
