- I am continuing the process of rebuilding my T500 Suzuki 2 stroke motorcycle, finding and fixing issues along the way. In part 5 of this series I install the clutch, repair some wiring, set the points and timing, also had to repairs threads in the cylinders using heli coils. Thanks for watching! Hope everyone enjoys this video and the series!

I always look forward to your rebuild of the T500. Many thanks for another instructive & entertaining episode.
Thanks! This has been a really fun but challenging project.
This is amazing, you are bringing a piece of history back to life. Another vintage bike saved by "The Kentucky Yankee" I always learn something every time I watch your videos. keep us posted, It will be up and running soon I hope. Tim in Kentucky "Adventures Await"
Thanks for following along and supporting my channel Tim always good to hear from you!
I just love your approach, I hope it all works out, easy peezy
Thanks me too 😂😂 Getting close to first start
How's she goin'? Great to see you back again and the engine is looking top notch!!! Nice job on the polishing and the acid bath did a nice job on the headers and tank!!! Take care!!
I little late but SS bolts should always be installed with SS anti-seize. The can cold weld very easily. Going into aluminum is good. If they were SS on both sides you would never get those screws apart again. Good job though. Thank you for making the video set.
Motor looks great.
Thanks Ronald!
I see your channel is getting bombed with fake comments - those that say, "Amazing job, can we be friends." I block all those. Anyhow, great catch on the wiring deficiencies!
Yeah I ignore them, thanks for watching Wizard!🧙♂️
Is that really a thing? Or is the joke flying 300' over my head?
@@danielsimpson8929 real
I've just finished mine and no matter how I tried I couldn't get the engine into the bike with the heads on, had to remove them, some say it can be done by laying the engine on it's side and lowering the frame over it into position but as my bike was complete, not down to the frame and also I'm on my own so it was heads off to do it.
Oh No! The heads were off when I took it out so never thought about that, since it's together I'm gonna try and get it in, but little worried now that 😂
@@kentuckyyankee I'm waiting to see if you can manage it, I have a dodgy back so have to be careful...good luck, but it's no big deal taking the heads off, it was slightly awkward getting the torque wrench in though.
@@gregrsvr3947 Might give it a shot today
@@gregrsvr3947 Update! Engine is in, I didn't have any problems, having the motorcycle lift is a big help
I’ve waited so long to see this!
😂😂 More to come patience my friend...
Lets get an update video on that turbo ranger! I am currently building one myself! Subscribing just to keep up!
Thanks, I plan on getting back to it this summer, I have this bike and a Honda Z50 to finish then back on the truck, I man band😂😂
I've used copper coat on my wheel studs for years. I recall though it's not supposed to be used on aluminum. Stuff I'm using is an anti seize paste for threads. Guessing the gasket stuff is very different but curious if it's gonna make some type of battery with the aluminum. Man covid news got me rambling. Lol
I haven't heard that before but I will look into it, stay healthy
Love your work and narration! My 1971 T500 left side head gasket is leaking a little bit. Can I pull that one head and replace the gasket without removing the engine or better yet the gas tank?
Pretty sure the head will come off without removing the engine, not sure about the gas tank, give it a try you have nothing to loose.
Hello KY, I am at wits end. Wondering if you had an idea to share re: free stuck pistons on my T500, 73'. I have tried multi lubricants, turning crank w 12mm, engaging trans and moving rear wheel. Even put propane torch in exhaust hole to warm cylinder, and using piece of hardwood and hammer. Drained the crankcase and near-clear oil, no metal. Before buying parts I should have checked first. I had oiled cylinders before storing many years ago, so wondering if it is even a stuck piston? Do the pistons move at same time? i.e. if one moves does the other one? I am not a mechanic, guess you have likely figured that out. Thank you!
I would use brake fluid that will free them up, both pistons will move when free
Enjoying your vid! Does the engine need to be removed from frame to remove head? My piston is not moving from years of sitting. Thank you.
No I think the heads will come off with it in the frame, good luck thanks for watching!
Do you still have the barn find Kawasaki 300 four-wheeler?
Yes
So close to being togather... and anti seize has a place and a time and it's not for motor bikes.. it oozes when it gets hot. So nasty....
What are you using to soak the parts in, forgive me if you mentioned what the solution is in another video. Another general question I would like to ask is where have you been ordering parts from. eBay has a mix of parts but for certain parts, I rather buy from a reputable shop that you can trust so as to not waste time and money shipping them back or dealing with whether or not returns are problematic. I have 2 Titans and an RD 250 that I am restoring, I am likely going to either buy a rebuilt crank or send one of mine out to be rebuilt and balanced fr the engine I intend to modify and use in a replica cafe racer. Does anyone have a suggestion or can refer me to a shop in either the MidWest or in western Canada.
I have a parts washer with a solution for aluminum, I also had the parts vapor blasted, I don't recomend simple green or anything that has acid, it etches the aluminum. Partzilla may be the way to go for parts, check them out. You have some cool bikes good luck with your projects!
Nooooooo……..use a drill press.
