I loooove your sense of humour mate! My radiator is looking filthy and I couldn't find anything decent, until a few weeks ago I found one in your country. It's on its way to Australia now. Love your work. Absolutely brilliant and professional 👍
Just brilliant! Mechanics and comedy are spot on, plus that drill set up is mint. Way to end on a cliff hanger, I have my fingers crossed that it fires up first go 🤞 What takes longer - the bike stuff, the filming stuff or the editing?
Definitely the editing. I’d estimate this one was about 30 hours editing time. Things like sorting music to make sure it fits properly and colour grading take a fair chunk of it! I do the intro/outro bits in the evening once everything’s done so they just slot in.
From memory, there should be one fuel line to the petcock, an electrical connection for the fuel level sender, and the drain hose that comes out of the back under the seat. But generally as long as the tap is set to off, you should be able to remove these and lift the tank with the tap in place
@@tomsworkshopprojects would be top :D so excited to see what you do next. Am restoring my fzr aswell and your videos helped me a lot. Am also more ore less at the same point as you are. Really wanted to thank you and keep it up ✌️✌️
YESSSSS! I've been waiting a long time for a new episode. Thanks mate I know it's not easy to work on the FZR.
Haha thanks mate, yeah its been tricky getting the time, more for the editing than the work on the bike 😂
@6:28 😂😂👌 Great work as always, Tom 🔥
Cheers mate, I guess the 🔥 represents your guess as to what happened next? 😂
Just caught up with previous episodes. Great job, and great video editing.
Cheers mate, hopefully have a new vid up soon!
Great work I look forward to seeing the next one.
Thanks Steve, shouldn’t be too long!

Haha I can’t take myself seriously enough to be professional 😂 glad you got a rad sorted 👍🏻
LOL Fancy seeing you here :-)
@@uhtred7860 how can I not be? Tom is doing a hell of a job with his FZR to miss out :)
Nice one Tom as always ....cant wait for it to crack up
Cheers! Shouldn’t be too long 🤞
Love this series man! Can't wait until you do get this bike on the road!
Cheers mate, same!
Still waiting the next episode :D Keep it up ;)
80% Done! Soon, I promise!
I'm a bit clumsy, tip for myself and others. Cut and tape 2 cardboard rectangles to cover radiator fins.

Haha, thanks Stuart, my inability to take anything too seriously sure helps 😂

Looking good Tom keep it up
there's to screws/plugs in each side of the engine to drain the coolent out of the engine itself
There is, really handy for getting the last bits out 👍🏻
Have you ever tried "metal rescue" or "evaporust"? Those things are a miracle for parts you can submerge. Rust just goes away!
Will definitely look them up mate, cheers.
I need to get the gas tank off. I notice three tubes that go to the petcock. Does the petcock have to be removed first?

@@tomsworkshopprojects Where can I get a manual?
Amazon/Ebay are good places if yours struggling to find it locally
Hi Tom, thanks for the video! I just bought a 1990 FZR 1000. Which coolant do you recommend?
Nice! I’ve tried a few but not really found a favourite. The bikes have Putoline in them at the moment, but previously had Prestone with no issues.
Prestone for cars? Or they also make coolant for motorcycles?
Can't find Putoline on Amazon. Have you heard of EngineIce?
@@TherapyWithRicardo Just their regular premixed stuff. I picked up the Putoline from SpotsBikeShop.co.uk (not sure if you’re in the UK though?)
Next episode release date? 😍😍
Hopefully by the weekend!
