Nice, Frankenstein monster motorcycle
I love how hes like: short person, suzuki simp those are my spesialties. I vote yes for seeing him more often
why does this dude make me think he's Yammie's little brother.
That was my thought as well
I had that feeling until I realized u can’t tell how old yams actually is!! Dude is a vampire! I estimate he’s somewhere between 18 - 242 years old, but that’s just a guess.
Sounds like him
He’s born 1990 or 91 we are the same age
Because he’s getting dope hand me downs from his bro!
That is actually how you become an official well rounded “Motorcycle Guy”... buy the old bike learn/rebuild it from end to end... A few years down the road he will be way ahead of other guys his age. Now nothing will intimidate him and everything is easy for him. Good riding days are in this guy’s future. Great story, great video..
Easy when you've got a bin full of ducatti parts. Well, not easy but I wouldn't mind one
If I didn't start out this way, 20+yrs later I would never have become the true enthusiast that I am throughout the years.
You guys should do a copart auction salvage title rebuild
I want to do that
I did that, got my '96 600 bandit from copart in Jan'20 stolen recovered for about £250.
Its been a journey and taught me alot about about bigger bikes.
It'd be great to see, but I don't think they have the expertise on hand to do something like that.
They already did the hentai hornet. There not going to Rebuild a motorcycle again
Doit
Just bought a 1999 SV650. Crazy how well it runs for a 23 year old bike
Seeing Spite and Josh next two each other really shows how big of a guy Spite is. All the "as a bigger guy" reviews make so much sense.
This guy is gonna be a Master Builder one day.
Yea he looks like he will be a old guy riding that same sv in 30 years
For the 'Business Development' Nerd he's pretty handy with a wrench...
I feel for Josh! At least he has enjoyed the journey and loves that bike. I think papa Yam should buy Josh a ninja 400 just so Josh can never be late for work 🙂👍🏻
Gen 1 sv's are crazy reliable as long as you ride them once every weak or so and make sure the carbs are clean. Sv can be your only bike for like 50 years which is great.
Much respect! I always enjoy seeing Josh. He's intelligent, articulate and has a great on-camera personality.
That 1 million subscriber goal is looming just over the horizon, and I for one am very excited and proud of this channel/community.
This bike is the rolling equivalent of "here, hold my beer"
Clapped out 2002 SV650 with rebuilt title was my first bike too. Still daily it.
Finally, someone on this channel who uses tools for more than installing slip-ons, frame sliders, and decorating the shop wall. We need more Josh.
You guys are heading towards 1M subscribers . That's great
Compare all top litre class bikes based on track performance . Many keyboard warriors yelling about straight line speed and mostly Turing towards drag bragging
If you're mechanically inclined I absolutely reccomend doing it. It gives you something to wrench on and keep you busy, and gives you an amazing feeling of satisfaction when you have the bike running and riding right
Makes me feel good about the $1800 I spent on my way less crusty 2000 sv
Finally got my '86 Helix running well, still needs some transmission work but I'm so damn proud of this bike. It's a wonderful ride and I know that my sweat and blood are the only reason it's running so well and that makes the ride even sweeter.
100% Yam's brothercousin.
They are from texas🤔
I have an '01 SV650 as my first bike that needed a lot of work. Don't regret it at all, it forced me to learn a LOT.
I’m so appreciative that my bike works and needs no wrenching ! This would depress me 🙈
One of the best Yammie videos I've seen. I mean, I can't recall a bad Yammie video, but this was really good and informative.
Josh should appear in front of the camera more often, I liked his straight shooter candor.
Yammie Noob: Batman
Spite: Alfred
This guy: Robin
I mean this as a compliment.
I just recently bought a 2000 sv650 as my second bike. Had a couple minor things wrong with it but it was an easy fix. I love that bike so much.
My dad has the same generation and I will use it when I get my lisence. (I'm european so gotta go A2) and it only has about 18k miles on it
You guys are like the bike donut media
@Richard Hart donut uses Omaze giveaways all the time? And you dont have to spend any money on it to enter
I would be more inclined to give that title to Motorcyclist Magazine or even Fortnine. Yammie Noob ... we'll, I just got done with a Google search and now I'm fixing to search how to keep a channel off my feed.
@Richard Hart yes they are
Just bought an 2006 sv650 really glad mine isn’t a mess lol. Fresh fluids and she’s a dream
Great video!! I just bought my first bike (Ducati Monster 600) a few months ago not working also. Got it up and running after two months, but got to say Carbs are one hell of a challenge haha.
I’ve got a lot of time for this dude 👏
Thank you for your honesty bro. Pretty sure you learned a lot of stuff along the way, that you're gonna carry with you till you stop riding. The sv is a hell of a bike, but the condition you buy it in plays a huge role on the relationship you're going to have with it, plus carbs. I haven't have major issues with my carbed bike, but I understand people that do. A little rust, 10 days sitting and you're revving the hell out of it in hopes it uncloggs. Anyway, you're gonna have a lot of fun on it on track, you're a cool dude, it would be fun to see you more in front of the camera.
Love seeing josh talk comfortably on camera. I'd love to see more of him, also yes he gives off yams little brother vibes LMAO
Super cool dude, reminds me of yammie, should be in the videos more often
Dude I feel you. I bought my first bike as a project bike, over paid and it's been about a month and a half now, and I'm still working on it. Between waiting on parts to come in and geting parts that don't fit. That to me is the worst part. I honestly love working on the bike, and have delt with carbs before. I just cant wait to start riding.
I have a 01 SV650 that ran last year, now needs new carbs since I messed the first ones up and brake lines (at the least) before it runs again. This vid hits so close to home lol
I had one of these, in red, great bike if you get the suspension sorted. Progressive fork springs, new cartridges, decent shock.
Mine was running when I bought it, but was missing a few parts to get it road legal, upgrading as I go. Fork seals need rebuilding, carbs need a clean. But it runs great, and gets the Km under the belt.
If you grew up with old cars, a project bike just has two less wheels 😄
Great video - thanks!
Young homie very comfortable on camera, like him. More
That is very good restoration must have spent alot of time on it. Ride on bro
Erlich!! Good to see you're still working after the Silicon Valley fiasco! Another informative video, ty!
my first bike was a non-running 84 v45 magna, really fun working on those carbs.
I had a blast buying an old bike and rebuilding it for my first!
Great video! That’s one interesting SV
My first bike came from a frineds car wreck that started the bike on fire. Over our very long winter I rebuilt everything on that gsxr600. It was interesting to learn to ride on oil. Yes I welded the crank case and it still dripped oil right in line of the rear rubber. 🤷 I was a fool.
Is it weird that I'm rooting for this Jank-Machine to work forever?
I actually like the overall look of it, to be honest. Kind of heading to "Rat-Style" direction.
Its an SV650, it will.
excellent work/excellent show
Great learning experience for you.
I had a 99 sv650n like this in dark cherry red , and I loved it a lot. It was a cool looking bike. Cool sv. I love the gray colour 👍
Is a 5'1" dude, I feel the pain of fitting on a bike. Hence I ride a 2020 Harley Street Bob. Use Rokform, great mount. I actually use a Trail Tech Vapor on my KTM 450EXC. Can't go whong with either. On the Vapor I have two bikes programmed. I have regular 21" front wheel set-up and 17" front wheel set-up when I mount my supermoto wheels.
I've done the same with my 96 zx6r and I've enjoyed the overall experience
I did the same thing! It’s not a great idea but it’s quite the journey.
I love my 05 SV, It was cheap ($2600) from the original owner with 9k miles. Thinking of making it a track bike in the future. Great bikes, sad no wheelies tho.
I know this is old but it is one of the best videos on the channel.
I also went from crappy tyres to Continental ContiSportAttack 4 and they are AMAZING!!!!! I love those tyres!! haha
Have the same bike, great fun in the twisties. Goes hard enough at 3.3sec 0-60 and keeps going.
I got exactly the same setup, but with 50cc less and 2 more cillinder, best beginner bike ever!
That SV is rad!
Those continental conti sport attack 4s are fantastic. I've got a set on my Kawasaki ZXR400 and they are absolute bliss. Dare I say perfection? Nearly. They give the most feedback I've ever gotten from a tyre by far. Honestly can't recommend them enough for smaller, lighter and less powerful sport bikes, anything from a Ninja 400 to an R6 to a MT09 will be served incredibly well.
I like it awesome build
This is kinda a cool bike would like more content on this
Edition is danker than usual. Love it!
We all say "don't make the same mistake I did!", and yet, somehow, we all bought crummy old bikes to start off with. Makes you think... ;)
Mine was a '97 Yamaha Virago XV535, about twenty years old when I got her. Carburators truly are a bugger. Went weeks without being able to ride, whenever I discovered another part in dire need of replacement (nobody ever replaces brake lines when they should). I spend ages wrenching on that thing, and yet, I cannot imagine a better bike to have started off with. It really makes me appreciate my current bike more!
Btw I did the 636 shock swap and had to cut my battery box, not much but it wasn’t a direct swap.
I have an SV650N like that! Cracking bike
That's a good looking SV650 dude
This bike is a whole course in mechanics. Bravo.
Rockford and QuadLock look extremely similar? I have the QuadLock case and there accessories. These are the most stable phone cases and phone mounts I have ever used. Thank you again for these cases accessories.
Love this!!! I have a 2003 sv650s
Good advice. A project bike as a first bike is very disheartening. I had a similar experience years ago. It wasn’t a first bike, but at the time is was an only bike. 1990-something FZR6 that never ended up running.
I remember when those were brand new. I bought a brand new suzuki GS500E in 1997. When this appeared I thought is the upgrade enough ? 500cc twin- 650cc V-twin ? The bandit 600 was also around at the time. The sv was less power but also lighter than the bandit and the sv must have handled better than the bandit
Had the 96 Bandit 600s. Didn't appreciate it enough and sold it way too cheaply and regretted it ever since I sold it in 1998. Dumb dumb dumb. Have an 03 Sv650 and I think it handles worse than the bandit but only because stock forks are lousy. Putting new springs in it next week so might revise my opinion.
Ii watched this video a year ago or so... i have now relived Josh's experience😂 And like he said it was a bit painful.... But i love my SV!!
Most fun I ever had on two wheels apart from the carb maintenance.
Miss my SV650S .
Josh hilarious. Great vid
Neat. I have a 2002 sv650 as well.
Also have a 2020 wr250r. Y'all covering all my bases. Lol.
bought mine for $500 and I absolutely LOVE IT!!!! Seriously I love my 02 SV650 more then I ever thought I could, hands down my favorite bike possibly ever
Trailtech Vaporgauge for the win so I actually know what my RPM range is, no complaints!!
Brilliant TFT display! Music center, and communications. Rockform looks like a better viable option, with modern technology. Even tho I own a Ducati Monster, and 4 other bikes, I want a beater SV650 now. Or 750. I BLAME YOU!!! Haha! good work bois!!!! Molto Bene!!!!!!! Cardo! Sponsor! NOW!!!!!!
That's very much like my yamonda. It's got an R6 front end (forks, clip ons, dual disc brakes) on a Honda cm400 that i made into a cafe racer and I also have no "dash board" except my phone GPS app.
Carburetor job done in 30 minutes or less, That's my peeps 👍
@10:04 - OMG!!! FINALLY!!! Someone at Yammie Noob has been found who can say carbs aren't that bad.
And it's the guy with the jankiest bike!!!
Holy Moly, I was about to ask if y'all have a problem mowing your lawns without fuel injected lawnmowers and weedeaters!!! Seriously, I was imagining y'all down there in Austin taking barometer readings and checking for elevation levels trying to tune those lawnmowers to get your grass cut just right.... 😎
Imagine mowing your own yard
my first bike was a non running 620ie Duc. spent lots of time making it road worthy. dont regret a bit of it. learned my bike and what was a good idea and what wasnt. i feel like its a great way into riding. if you cant get past working on your bike, buy a car.
Syncing the carbs will help a ton... Pretty easy job too
Awesomeness pure.
Thanks for sharing👍 i have a sv as well
finally josh's sv650
These are the types of bikes I love. Fix it up yourself. Don't worry about if the bike is "for" that bike. If it works it works. What do ppl think the GP bikes are? They're prototypes ie: "let's try this & see if it works"
I am really good at rebuilding and unclogging carbs but geez it's such a pain trying to get the intake boots on if it's an older bike. Even boiling them to soften them can be a chore. Love my F.I bike.
I just sold my carburettor bike float would get stuck and fuel would piss out all over the floor. With the choke on the revs would go really high. Jets got blocked a few times. Only just learned to drain the float boal if you're not using the bike for any time.
@@chrishart8548 Yeah I hate stuck floats. Carbs are such a pain sometimes. My idle jet would clog up after only a couple weeks. I started to use the pinesol method towards the end since it wasn't my daily. Two weeks in a bucket.
I agree with one point who needs gear indicator? Ridden 50 yrs never had one never needed it. I know when I need to shift and always know what gear I am in. Feul gauge gauge is only feature I need besides speedo for cops. Tech cool but not nu needed I can feel when I need to shift. Grew up on dirtbikes shift when bike quits pulling. Love older bikes with minimum crap, save weight handles better and gets to speed quicker. I like light bikes they fo everything bettet
@16:01 - OMG....I just now noticed, y'all are doing this video from aisle 9 at the Harbor Freight store....👀
Next month I am getting my beginner bike too!!
I am so excited!
I placed my order for a 2021 Ducati v4 (not the s)
RIP
Cant wait to buy it off you for half the price next month lmao
@@xMaoxoaMx no chance 🤣🤣🤣
Lol def a troll post
@@daisylogan3955 absolutely! I have over 40k miles with street motorcycles. Started on a small Kawasaki and now I own a s1000r. The part with the Ducati wasn’t false tho.
I'm a pretty new rider, my buddy told me not to buy a project bike. Got a cheap GZ250 that needed a little work to get it running, am riding that around. But it's pretty wimpy, I'll probably want something with a top speed higher than 55 pretty soon, especially if I get that job on the other side of town. I could see getting a project bike, something that needs more work, maybe an '80s-vintage UJM of some sort. Keep the GZ250 until I'm confident the new project bike is ready to be ridden regularly, then sell it - or maybe keep it for my mom.
I like to bring a bomber back from the dead. I've done a couple old Kawasaki ZR-7 bikes, a Hyosung GT650, and currently a couple first gen SVs.
Josh missed some days but learned mech and life things not really available any other way .
Prefer the 4-pot Nissins as 6-pot upgrades, but that's just me. Nice work, love an SV gen1👍
Yammie,my dude. Get off your manscaped nards and give this guy a raise…or a TURBO BUSA.
At 15 I had a 1946 Chevy pickup that had a hole in the #3 piston. I fixed that and put the motor in a 1953 bel air. That was my first car. Can you imagine what I think about this video. He learned 3k worth of knowledge that can never be sold.
Once again just like the GSX-R beater with the fairings ripped off, some random franken sv650 looks better than anything in suzuki's current naked lineup
Crazy I paid 3k for my 06 sv650s back in 2017, only had 12k miles worth every penny. Cool bike man trials and tribulations bring rise to greatness.
carburetors with vacuum actuated main jet metering rods work better then fuel injection.
