Same. Yammie made good content, but not into supporting that unnecessary immaturity. But will still gladly watch Craig fix this bike. My dislike for Yammie won't taint my love for The Bearded Mechanic
I kind of thought putting a lady in the hospital while riding uninsured then begging his viewers for money to pay the bills was just as classless. The guy is trash.
In my long career as an auto mechanic I exclusively worked on VWs for the first 28 years, when they began as aircooled. It was common to see them "swallow an exhaust valve" as in normal operation they required manual valve adjustments; being too tight as the valve stem stretched. I saved the heads of the broken off valves in a drawer in my toolbox and had 163 of them. I didn't see if the larger intakes or smaller exhaust valves was the one that snipped off. You brought back a lot of memories for me. Keep up the good work. Now in retirement at 76 years old I can just enjoy my 4 Honda motorcycles; my 2010 VFR 1200f, my 2014 CB1100, my 2012 CBR250r, and my 2023 Grom.
@@cjhickspe1399 I just had a nice ride on it yesterday. The '14 is all black and has a 6 speed transmission and has mag wheels where the '13s were red and silver. 5 speed trans and spoke wire wheels. One thing I really like about it is if you hold the throttle steady and go to downshift the engine revs are exactly correct for the next lower gear. Friday-Sunday in Leesburg Florida is the Leesburg Bikefest and I will be there ( I live 30 miles away)
I know absolutely nothing about bikes but your content is outstanding and great to watch. Your enthusiasm and knowledge is fantastic. Glad i found your channel.
This most concisely demonstrates why not only does “Everyone needs a Craig”, but Craig has a talent for explaining the complex into easy to understand terms. He should be teaching! Great job!
Limiting the scope of this project to just the top end is a gamble, but a brilliant one IMO. If he gets away with it, it will save tons of time, effort, and money. Hardly anyone would sink time into it without doing a total rebuild. You can't warranty it. I think he has a good shot. He might be doing a busa burnout 🔥🔥🔥 in the next episode. Take a 2 week test ride Craig.
@14:39 - That's an External Wastegate, not a Blow Off Valve. The Wastegate controls the amount of boost you produce and prevents the turbo from spinning too fast, by allowing some of the exhaust gas to bypass the turbo. This is an external wastegate because it's outside the turbo, versus a traditional swingvalve wastegate often located in the turbine housing / outlet. Because that bypassed exhaust doesn't go thru the turbo (which quiets it down by stealing some of it's energy), guys often "divorce" it's outlet from the exhaust like this into it's own "dump tube", which causes the engine to be much louder whenever the wastegate is open. The Blow Off Valve (BOV) is on intake side, on the charge piping between the turbocharger and throttle body, and is what makes the loud "psssh" noise on shifts etc. It allows boost pressure to be vented to the atmosphere when the throttle body is closed, so that the pressure doesn't reverse direction and go back into the turbo, causing the compressor to stop suddenly and stall, leading to wear, and increasing turbo spool time when the throttle is opened again. If you vent the boost back into the intake instead (what most factory turbos do), it's instead called a bypass valve (BPV) and is much quieter.
21:39 That manual cam chain tensioner is the culprit I'm telling you right now. Every knucklehead that gets one over tightens it. That leads to your chain guides quickly wearing out and shaving plastic into the oil pan. That clogs the oil pickup screen. Oil starvation would most likely be why your cams are worn, your connecting rods are tight on the big end (unless ypu meant "tight" as in not sloppy and worn out) and the pistons got hot and detonated. The detonation can cause valves to break as well as typical piston damage.
On top of all that it looks like one pistons top ring butted together (22:26), not enough ring gap under high heat/load. The ring expands, butts together and then cracks the piston.
You have a lot more faith than I do. I'm working on a motor that dropped a valve and I'm pulling the whole lower end apart for cleaning. All it takes is one tiny piece of piston in a crank lube hole and the whole bottom end will go boom. Good luck with it!
@@The_Bearded_Mechanicother comments have said it, you’re 95% of the way there. The few hours opening and checking will be worth it! Both for us viewers and peace of mind.
An old mechanic friend gave me this advice long ago - every job will take 2x as long as you suspect. You can either spend the time now, or spend it later doing some of it over again, either way, you're going to have to spend that time.
Dude you are easily one of the best mechanics I’ve ever seen on RUclips. Your observations were on point and even the little things during disassembly like keeping your hand on the cam bridges so they don’t try and torque a weird way. The little note about sharp points on the piston especially on the exhaust side getting hot were chefs kiss. Earned a fan today.
You need to get a filter cutter tool , works like a can opener so it doesn’t put metal in the filter makes it easier to get to the filter media to inspect
LOVE the RE5. Blew up my honda back in 88 on a roadtrip in Seguin Texas. Costed the Honda in to a local motorcycle dealership and it was done for. They had a beautiful RE5 sitting on the floor so I traded them on the spot. Wound up roadtripping that Suzuki across all of Texas (just stopping wherever and living out of a tent) for the next 6 months. Things you HAVE to know - it is a 2 stroke - the oil goes in a separate tank on the right hand side of the bike. If it has run without 2 stroke oil, it will likely have burned rotor tips & will need to replace them. Flush the coolant. Treat it like an old Suzuki Waterbuffalo in every way but the motor. It is a blast.
I would definitely pull apart the bottom to inspect rod bearings main bearings etc just in case, as theires nothing worse than rebuilding the top end and the bottom end needs repair after starting the engine. P.S I'm not a fan of Yammie Noob for how he treated Spite but I'm here for the Busa rebuild.
Love these videos Craig. As someone who started messing with engines in their 40s, your vids are not only entertaining, but extremely informative. Can't wait to meet you on the Louisiana ride in May!

Not enough ring end gap is why the lands blew outta that other piston. Ring closes up gap, ring can't expand out anymore so it wants to go sideways and blows out the ring land. More end gap on turbski motors, especially non intercooled.
I love how you explain in detail all the parts and functions. For a new generation (or two) learning how to work on these bikes it's great. I personally love working on the vintage (old) bikes, but this pretty cool and I can't wait to see your progress.

Only doing the top end is NOT recommended. You're already into it this far, just pull the bottom end down and clean up all the metal that got trapped in the bearings and crank. Doing it your way guarantees you will be doing it again, with the probability that it will be way more expensive the next time. Your milage may vary.
Hi Craig. The broken valve/piston is one thing but the other broken piston is another. Make sure you have enough ring end gap for a boosted application. It will be considerably wider than non boosted. Should be an absolute rocket when you get it done.
Your videos are great. Perfect amount of information, about the bike and only humble chatter about your personal experiences. The video edits are quick and clean and the added comedy in the post are great!
You should definitely hit up donut media they also have a blown hayabusa I think it would be a great collab with you and donut media those guys are really cool
Craig, you do some fine work. Far and away better than Noob deserves. Send his 'busa back exactly the way you found it. That person gets no respect from many in the community.
I'm not remotely into bikes and this was my first Bearded Mechanic video but I found it very interesting! Definite vibes of Craig from Dynotorque on the Driftworks channel. Mature dude who's been round the block and knows his stuff! Looking forward to more mechanicing 😁
My hope is you plan to do the bottom end as well, I'm concerned about bent rods. I wonder if you cant get a low compression flat top piston that could alleviate some of that detonation? Great video!!
backpressure in the oil return line could increase the oil leaking into the intake side. All the oil sitting above the throttle body is just from the turbo
Craig, You need to do a joint tear down with Eric from “ I do cars” he brings a cager engine and you bring a bike engine! Dan can be the tear down supervisor? Great carnage “ in the combustion palace “!!! episode. As always stay safe and healthy. Ron
@@CyberChristhe fires him so spite could make his own channel. I think people too emotional about it. Let people collab with who they want. Can’t deny y’all have watched yammie moon before
I agree, it looks like a terrible set up. The kinked drain hose, the PC3 & the angle that the waste gate is welded to the manifold all suck. The waste gate should free flow from the manifold with no harsh turns, as to prevent boost creep. And they should be using a better ECU that is easily tuned, not just piggybacking off the factory ecu
If the ecu wasnt flashed. I would hope there was a ignition module on it at a minimum. There may have just been someone else that did some tuning on it and used the pc3. I remember many people being involved in the build. But dont remember if it was first or second.
@@maddog7999no idea what busa parts go for. But the amount of machine time to fix what I've seen so far up to the 25min mark. Your better off buying new parts for a third of the engine and doing a full rebuild than trying to machine what could maybe be saved and replacing whats totally gone and slapping it back together.
Hi Craig, I have you watched all of The Noob's videos about this bike? It is a problem looking for a time and a place to happen. Send it back as it is now that you have stripped it down. He will make you the fall guy if and when anything else goes wrong. Your reputation is worth more than this nob head, seriously. I love your work and antics in the workshop and when out on a mission. Cheers
That was my first thought exactly. How long before he rides it into a Porsche then calls up Craig to do an interview about how he didnt fix it correctly.
@@Visoris Hi, have you watched the previous videos The Noob made about this bike? It is a disaster and am surprised Craig has taken it on. He should give it back exactly as is right now so no finger can be pointed at him at a later date.
Hey a great way to open a canister oil filter like that is a pipe cutter. Runs little cutting discs around the edge and can cut the top ring off a filter clean, no debris. They make both direct-pressure versions (couple of big cutting discs) or chain cutter versions (lots of small cutting discs). Great tool to have around a shop.
Looks like 1/2 a Polaris RZR engine. The earlier ones with the carbon metallic guides had problems with the valve guides dropping out of the head. The recommended Upgrade was the updated Bronze valve guides and replace the factory Torque to yield bolts with much better quality ARP head studs especially on the 1000 turbo.
Your start attempt sounds like you need a young priest and an old priest.😂 My suspicion is the cam chain tensioner seal leaked and owner cranked the tensioner down squeezing oil out of those top cam lobes.
I don't ride motorcycles, but I really want to ride a motorcycle by watching your channel. My first bike will definitely be something made from Japan used and cheap. Thank you for sharing.
stumbled across this channel, and watched 2 videos.. Early 100 Yamaha fun little a bike.. then TurboBusa fellin love straight away, love the style of vids and the bants between you guys
I have been working on turbo engines for many years, i used to work for Saab, and had myself, many project cars of my own with turbo engines. Based upon the damage on the pistons and the broken valve, i think the damage is from ignition. Your hayabusa enginge has no knock sensor connected to ignition/turbo pressure, so called APC on many cars. On modern engines you dont have ignition adjusted by vacuum anymore, thats made by the box for ignition. But the box need a sensor for micro knocking in the piston to quickly change the ingition and turbo pressure, and that does not exist on hayabusa boxes. Also in my opinion you need warmer sparks and might be a little low on fuel flow (thats probably what causes the strange melting of pistons). On the new engine you need to messure exhaust temperature, you dont want more than 920-930C, then you need to up the fuel.
The yammie noob drama started way before the Spite incident, just do a search on here for yammie noob bike crash, never liked the guy or been subbed to him i think hes a prize w⚓️ but im not gonna stop watching Craig because of it as Craigs a good dude and probably knows nothing of the dramas.
@@The_Bearded_Mechanic Yeah me too generally but it was hard with Yammie Noob as his 2 main drama's, Crash and Spite incident were all over youtube with a lot of the channels I do watch making videos on the subject's...
I don’t get involved with the drama bullcrap. I still watch Yammie as he still puts out decent content, although I really liked him and Spite’s chemistry together. I watch all of Spites’s stuff as well. I think Spite is better off doing his own content. He’ll definitely make more money doing his own thing…
@@Jump-n-smash Spite was on the Yammie Noob channel for a while and was kind of Yam’s right hand man. Then Yammie decided to kind of go into a different direction and he let Spite go in a controversial way. So now Spite has his own channel, Spites Corner is what it’s called.
Craig Jones of Doghouse motorcycle fame is brilliant, especially with building bobbers out of enfield bullets and he had ADHD with his work and fabricates hardtail frames for bobbers and the welds, snagging and finish is second to none. Top bloke too. 😊😊😊
Fixing broken bikes takes a lot of time, energy and mental effort. It's obvious you are very gifted as a mechanic, just like the fellow on the 2vintage channel.
Craig and 2 vintage are night and day different. He(2vintage) couldnt even co.e close to the abilities of Craig. Trust me, Im a Yamaha Technician and 2 vintage has so much to learn.
@@4thdimensiontravels855 I unsubbed from 2vintage a while back. His new videos still pop up on my feed however. I strongly disagree with that fellows method of buying stuff with a blindfold on. I walk away scratching my head wondering how he could buy stuff that would be better suited for a junkyard heap.
Twenty three years later, it was nice to see how things really work. I had a 96 Blackbird that I felt was too slow. I had engine work done (port and polish) and some tuning and felt it was still too slow. I had the bike go on a diet (Dymag Carbon Fiber rims, all bolts other than weight bearing were replaced with aluminum and felt it was still too slow. I then had a turbo installed. Mark Moisan from American Turbo in Naples, FL had a kit for the blackbird. My bike was built to be a sleeper and if I wanted to run in high boost (Aerodyne Turbo) I had to mix VP Racing VP16 and 92 pump 50/50. If I was on low boost, pump gas was fine. One night, 10 miles past nowhere, at 160, the bike felt weird. I pulled the clutch in and 2 seconds later the whole bike shut off. I had the engine pulled. I am nowhere near the knowledge level of you or even capable of repairing it. When the engine was pulled, it did make the sounds you mentioned you didn't want to hear. When the engine was opened up, we learned that the biggest piece of piston left was about the size of a thumbnail. The piston exploded into pieces and the crank ripped into the cylinder wall. Your explanation of all the workings was very educational for me. Now I know what things are and can apply it to what happened to me. That bike had 280hp, 180lbs of torgue and was a little more than 400lbs wet. I miss that bike.
That’s the last content creator you should be working with. Usually support every thing Craig does. But this guy is a danger to himself and everyone on the road.
I’m excited to see how this turns out, maybe if craig is lucky it will make as much power as my turbo Harley. Maybe we should race ?
I can make more power than that Harley by accident with this busa.
But can you handle the power ?
Sidenote: Accepting a barehanded beef stick, possibly pulled from a pocket, without hesitation is a true friendship.
A real challenge for Craig would be getting the OCC GEICO Bike over 100hp
Or getting it running for more than 20min at any hp lol
cool the air charge with meth injection to stop the melting

He'll, yeah, Craig is an artist .
Better tuning and oiling I would say. Thank kink near the turbo clearly translates to bad oiling up top too.
backpressure in the oil return line could increase the oil leaking into the intake side. All the oil sitting above the throttle body is just from the turbo
holy moly man that engine breakdown and explanation of all the parts was awesome and genuinely helped me
Ultimate compliment---I'm not even into motorcycles yet never miss one of your episodes---NUFF SAID
I look so forward to your videos, also love Dan's commentary !! Can't wait for part two of this one
Craig,
You need to do a joint tear down with Eric from “ I do cars” he brings a cager engine and you bring a bike engine!
Dan can be the tear down supervisor?
Great carnage “ in the combustion palace “!!! episode.
As always stay safe and healthy.
Ron
oh no. Don't Collab with that dude. Can't stand him. Did Spite dirty.
Edit: still enjoy you're videos. I de-subbed from yammie a long time ago.
What happened ?
@@CyberChristhe fires him so spite could make his own channel. I think people too emotional about it. Let people collab with who they want. Can’t deny y’all have watched yammie moon before
Yeah, what happened? I’m not up on the tea lol
internet drama. a bunch of stuff wr only know very little about with people we know very little about
i dont care about the internet drama. i did not even know about it, i just find the dude very annoying .
I started watching Yammie but am glad because I never would have found this. Glad to see you Craig.
These guys deserve more of a following I just love how knowledge is shared patiently and not rushed.
I had a 442 hp turbo Hayabusa a few years ago. What a wonderful motorcycle. The top end charge was surreal. Love the video!
😂

Dude you are my favorite YTber, as I love motorbikes! I would love to see you recover a old MotorGuzzi. Keep up your enjoyable contente!
Remember the exhaust side of that turbo needs inspected
So fun to see the Busa went to you guys. And get to know what the reason was it blew. Looking forward seeing it being rebuilt.
Whoever did the initial turbo install was an absolute cowboy. So rough, and tuning with a PC3 😂
I agree, it looks like a terrible set up. The kinked drain hose, the PC3 & the angle that the waste gate is welded to the manifold all suck. The waste gate should free flow from the manifold with no harsh turns, as to prevent boost creep. And they should be using a better ECU that is easily tuned, not just piggybacking off the factory ecu
What are they using for boost reference? No wonder it was lean up top 😮
If the ecu wasnt flashed. I would hope there was a ignition module on it at a minimum. There may have just been someone else that did some tuning on it and used the pc3. I remember many people being involved in the build. But dont remember if it was first or second.
"Unfixable? You mean YOU can't fix it" - This man
no dude. it means it is not repairable. it may not even be rebuildable. tell us you dont know motors without telling us you dont know motors
@@maddog7999no idea what busa parts go for. But the amount of machine time to fix what I've seen so far up to the 25min mark. Your better off buying new parts for a third of the engine and doing a full rebuild than trying to machine what could maybe be saved and replacing whats totally gone and slapping it back together.
Hi Craig, I have you watched all of The Noob's videos about this bike? It is a problem looking for a time and a place to happen. Send it back as it is now that you have stripped it down. He will make you the fall guy if and when anything else goes wrong. Your reputation is worth more than this nob head, seriously. I love your work and antics in the workshop and when out on a mission. Cheers
That was my first thought exactly. How long before he rides it into a Porsche then calls up Craig to do an interview about how he didnt fix it correctly.
@@Visoris Hi, have you watched the previous videos The Noob made about this bike? It is a disaster and am surprised Craig has taken it on. He should give it back exactly as is right now so no finger can be pointed at him at a later date.
This feels like watching the autopsy of a bodybuilder whose heart exploded after too much steroid use
Hey a great way to open a canister oil filter like that is a pipe cutter. Runs little cutting discs around the edge and can cut the top ring off a filter clean, no debris. They make both direct-pressure versions (couple of big cutting discs) or chain cutter versions (lots of small cutting discs). Great tool to have around a shop.
Looks like 1/2 a Polaris RZR engine. The earlier ones with the carbon metallic guides had problems with the valve guides dropping out of the head. The recommended Upgrade was the updated Bronze valve guides and replace the factory Torque to yield bolts with much better quality ARP head studs especially on the 1000 turbo.
Came for the YN trash talking train. Staying for Craig now.
Another fab video Craig and Dan. Thank you so much. Can't wait to see the conclusion! Best wishes from UK😊
Your start attempt sounds like you need a young priest and an old priest.😂 My suspicion is the cam chain tensioner seal leaked and owner cranked the tensioner down squeezing oil out of those top cam lobes.
no surprise you got voted to look at this bike Craig, your a legend.. Enjoy your videos so much !! keep up the good work
I don't ride motorcycles, but I really want to ride a motorcycle by watching your channel. My first bike will definitely be something made from Japan used and cheap. Thank you for sharing.
Yammie noob... Gixerbrah and Bearded Mechanic
the motorcycle community really does cross any boundaries doesnt it?
gross, i can't stand that dude.
Nobody can.
TyAu25 insecurity? i'm not the one coming to the defense of some idiot youtuber. check the mirror brah.
TyAu25 guess nobody’s allowed to dislike another person?
14:40 that's no blowoff, that's the wastegate! It doesn't go pff, it goes braaap, because it bypasses the exhaust by the turbo! :D
stumbled across this channel, and watched 2 videos.. Early 100 Yamaha fun little a bike.. then TurboBusa fellin love straight away, love the style of vids and the bants between you guys
I have been working on turbo engines for many years, i used to work for Saab, and had myself, many project cars of my own with turbo engines. Based upon the damage on the pistons and the broken valve, i think the damage is from ignition. Your hayabusa enginge has no knock sensor connected to ignition/turbo pressure, so called APC on many cars. On modern engines you dont have ignition adjusted by vacuum anymore, thats made by the box for ignition. But the box need a sensor for micro knocking in the piston to quickly change the ingition and turbo pressure, and that does not exist on hayabusa boxes. Also in my opinion you need warmer sparks and might be a little low on fuel flow (thats probably what causes the strange melting of pistons). On the new engine you need to messure exhaust temperature, you dont want more than 920-930C, then you need to up the fuel.
Super cool to see you working with other RUclips content makers. You should help shadtree surgen fix a raffle bike next
ewwwww, Yammie Noob
Man so many of your fans are NOT fans of Yammie. Self included.
Thanks
.
Nice selection of orchids. Very high quality.
Appreciate your videos.
the fact its only some top end work is an absolute score. need to get a reading on those cranks if you really want to be sure tho.
The yammie noob drama started way before the Spite incident, just do a search on here for yammie noob bike crash, never liked the guy or been subbed to him i think hes a prize w⚓️ but im not gonna stop watching Craig because of it as Craigs a good dude and probably knows nothing of the dramas.
Yeah his behavior surrounding the crash with the Porsche left a bad taste in my mouth. But Craig fixing a bike is Craig fixing a bike 👍
I stay way away from the dramas....
@@The_Bearded_Mechanic Yeah me too generally but it was hard with Yammie Noob as his 2 main drama's, Crash and Spite incident were all over youtube with a lot of the channels I do watch making videos on the subject's...
I stopped following yammie when he snaked spite. And put out that demoralizing video that is now long gone
Spite was THE reason I ever watched any of YN's stuff....
FYN, Long live Spite.
I don’t get involved with the drama bullcrap. I still watch Yammie as he still puts out decent content, although I really liked him and Spite’s chemistry together. I watch all of Spites’s stuff as well. I think Spite is better off doing his own content. He’ll definitely make more money doing his own thing…
He's also just an all around loser that acts like he knows how to ride till you actually see him ride and see he has no skill lol
Sorry, I am new to bikes and bike channels. What’s snaked spite?
@@Jump-n-smash Spite was on the Yammie Noob channel for a while and was kind of Yam’s right hand man. Then Yammie decided to kind of go into a different direction and he let Spite go in a controversial way. So now Spite has his own channel, Spites Corner is what it’s called.
That Hayabusa must have been a Porsche fan, nuked itself before Yammie could take another one out.
This is my new favorite channel. Honestly better than Bikes and beards garage. Love the selection of bikes and his knowledge of like every motorcycle
Craig Jones of Doghouse motorcycle fame is brilliant, especially with building bobbers out of enfield bullets and he had ADHD with his work and fabricates hardtail frames for bobbers and the welds, snagging and finish is second to none. Top bloke too. 😊😊😊
Hope whatever agreement you have with noob is in writing.
Fixing broken bikes takes a lot of time, energy and mental effort. It's obvious you are very gifted as a mechanic, just like the fellow on the 2vintage channel.
Thanks. Yeah he has a good thing going.
Craig and 2 vintage are night and day different. He(2vintage) couldnt even co.e close to the abilities of Craig. Trust me, Im a Yamaha Technician and 2 vintage has so much to learn.
Craig is a tech, 2vintage a mechanic
@@4thdimensiontravels855 I unsubbed from 2vintage a while back. His new videos still pop up on my feed however. I strongly disagree with that fellows method of buying stuff with a blindfold on. I walk away scratching my head wondering how he could buy stuff that would be better suited for a junkyard heap.
Ok, I'll stick around if you just fixing the bike but if I see any more Yammie face I'm out.
edit- Ok, Sean turned up. 10/10 video now.
Didn't Sean do to Craig more or less what's Yammie's getting blamed for ?
Dont like the noob, but i dont mind seeing craig work on that bike
bikes takes a lot of time, energy and mental effort. It's obvious you are very gifted as a mechanic, just like the fellow on the 2vintage channel.
Fantastic walkthrough of the engine and the issues you find. Very educational for me at least.
Bit sad to see so many whiny, entitled children here moaning...let the man fix the bike, take your bs disdain and drama elsewhere.
What in the actual F? Do all you mvloggers just live in the same neighborhood?!? Sounds like a pretty BA zipcode..
Excellent video of YAMMie's "Suzu-kaboomba!" Really, good job doing this video. Good filming and editing!
Gixxer Braaaaah
Been there done that, I had three valves put in new guide seals and surfaced, put one new piston in WITH SAME RINGS , honed cylinder new gaskets 👍
Twenty three years later, it was nice to see how things really work. I had a 96 Blackbird that I felt was too slow. I had engine work done (port and polish) and some tuning and felt it was still too slow. I had the bike go on a diet (Dymag Carbon Fiber rims, all bolts other than weight bearing were replaced with aluminum and felt it was still too slow. I then had a turbo installed. Mark Moisan from American Turbo in Naples, FL had a kit for the blackbird. My bike was built to be a sleeper and if I wanted to run in high boost (Aerodyne Turbo) I had to mix VP Racing VP16 and 92 pump 50/50. If I was on low boost, pump gas was fine.
One night, 10 miles past nowhere, at 160, the bike felt weird. I pulled the clutch in and 2 seconds later the whole bike shut off. I had the engine pulled. I am nowhere near the knowledge level of you or even capable of repairing it. When the engine was pulled, it did make the sounds you mentioned you didn't want to hear. When the engine was opened up, we learned that the biggest piece of piston left was about the size of a thumbnail. The piston exploded into pieces and the crank ripped into the cylinder wall.
Your explanation of all the workings was very educational for me. Now I know what things are and can apply it to what happened to me. That bike had 280hp, 180lbs of torgue and was a little more than 400lbs wet. I miss that bike.
That’s the last content creator you should be working with. Usually support every thing Craig does. But this guy is a danger to himself and everyone on the road.
What has he done thats so dangerous since like 2019? The guy that was riding it when it blew up sure.
I think he's talking about Gixxerbrah lmao
Not a fan of this noob guy. Please don’t promote him on your channel.
Sorry but Yammie noob doesn’t deserve a place on this channel mate. Plz make sure this doesn’t happen again.
Craig has this amazing ability to make my bike wrenching problems seem small and also big enough for me to accomplish
Love to see some more wheels through time stuff, maybe take him a modern road glide and make dale work on that 😂😂
Yikes after what yam did to spike I'd be staying far away from that guy
