Thanks for your support :)
Big cheer for the compressor, I did laugh when you started your swearing .
I know, right. Had a little giggle myself at that point.
I'm just waiting for the phone to ring 😂😂
Laughed out loud at that.
I spat my tea out🤣
You mentioned briefly th Texa I have purchased a year old kawa Ninja sx and I want to get a decent diag unit with the right cable?
The moment the compressor kicked in - Perfect timing!! Gold 🤣😄
Just what I've always wanted a hardtail GSXR
😎👍
i actually spat my coffee all over my desk at the mirror description 🤣
😂
I had one of them at 17, blew it up but was a right laugh to ride.
Sounds like a proper GSXR. A mate of mine once said the mirrors were completely useless. (Rode an 1100, I thought that this was one too). Great video Jim!
Nice one Jim, surprising how many old bikes I come across with all the suspenders adjusters wound fully in or out and been ridden for thousands of miles like it.
Im gladyou mentioned about the mike picking up the sounds ...I was halfway through typing "that engine sounds awful that mike picks up the sounds well" even when u are riding it u can hear the leak I think !
Dammit, I came here to see “another bloody carb cleaning!”, said no one EVER! Seriously enjoy your content👍
The mirrors are foul but the original ones are very expensive, i've just paid £150 to have a set restored. There is virtually no room for an inline filter if you are running the airbox, I've tried and given up, ended up fitting a better fuel tank from my race bike and putting the rusty one back on the race bike which runs open carbs and thus has lots of room for a proper filter. Unless I missed it this bike doesn't have the SP carbs as I didn't see the rubber blank plugs on the pilot jets, not that it makes much difference when running the airbox and standard headers. The SP carbs are 33mm against 32mm and have swappable air jets in the bellmouths rather than pressed in ones, plus the aformentioned side fed pilot jets.
I've got one of these currently in bits, and the carbs sat on my bench ready for a strip down and clean. Must say I would have liked to see a carb clean this time around lol. I really enjoy your videos and style don't change a thing ever they are great.
Seeing as you mentioned the suspension on the ride. Preload on the right fork versus the left you can see ones wound in further than the other so that could be part of your knock but could also be a case of something not assembled correctly internally. Almost bought a project one of those but glad I didn't have too many as is.
I had the 750.
Cut a few turns off the spring in the fuel tap diaphragm.
The vacuum at higher rpm and throttle wasn't enough to hold it open.
Farmer Jim. Soil analysis 👍🏼
😂 😂 compressor gate, it was waiting for you to get into the flow of things 😂. Great video, Jim 👍
Those two madly different preload settings on the forks drove me insane! 😅
Great video I always look forward for your phone ringing or the compressor starting😂
That compressor has no manners 😂😂
Dont forget the tank breather too .
I just ordered some JIS screwdrivers.
Thanks for the advice.
"spasticatic"? Not heard that for years 🤣
The wife had a GSXR 400 for her first bike i have a TLR took hers out for a ride and nearly threw it down the road on a roundabout, was used to throwing the heavy TL around and them things weigh next to nowt.
i know, it turns just thinking about it.
rg 250 even lighter
Jim 0. Compressor 1. 😎
Great work Jim!
Compressor fires up ! Hilarious 🤣
great job as always lad keep it goin
love your compressor firing up hahahaha
You answered my stupid question at the end . Apparently I'm still stupid! . Thanks for answering without knowing. Peace and love .👍✌️♥️
Always great videos 👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
love the channel
Those needles are totally worn out near the top, very common on Mikuni BDST carbs, OEMs cheaped out on the needle retention mechanisms, quite common.
Another great video Jim, thank you! And I want that bike 😂
Longest episode ever??
They should be much longer Jim imo
You said before the attention spam of followers is short and so you make the episodes short
STOP THAT!
MAKE THEM LONGER!
PLS!
🤓
U hade the same problem with my gsxr1100w from 95. I goth all my carb parts from ktm. There the same mikuni 40mm. All innerparts slide en on
Jim please fix the light behind push bike as it’s driving my ocd mental
Compressor strikes again 😂
Old shocks and old bones don't mix very well Jim. 😊 Not that your old or anything 😊
Carb farmer Jim!
Got the preload wound all the way in on the right leg none on the left, no wonder it felt weird to ride.
Bloody hell I caught this one early haha
I would have been expecting the white van to be coming back down the lane on your return.
Friday....Jim day
Time to put on a brew!
White and one thanks
YAY for the compressor whoot Dead on time LOL😂
Would it be possible to put a basic fuel injection system on a carburettor engine?
sync should be done at 3-4 k rpm
?
or cruise rpm
Was there any brake fluid in the front pot? Or was the plastic just really opaque?
Got to admit when it cut out i was worried thinking how will he get home
Wanted to see the fuel issue
Very informative but man you make me laugh when you start to swear 😂😂
In today's video:
Compressor Completely Ruins Punchline
😁
Your compressor has its timing down to a tee 😅😅
Is it just me or did that rev counter look like it wasn't working right?
why do you ride on the wrong side when on the lanes out your house?
Give you a better view around bends, also any cars coming the other way won’t be tempted to cut the corner as they see you coming sooner.
As a lad I was riding my first bike on a country lane, a car decided to cut the corner and I ended up in a field head first in a ditch with a broken collar bone.
I always take country road bends in a way to maximise my view and let anyone know I’m coming and stay on your own side.
@ I get that, and I want to ride as far to the middle as reasonable - but completely on the wrong side seems wrong to me. Only need a muppet with a dash cam with “proof” you were on the wrong side and caused them to panic/swerve etc
@@eliotmansfield its a single track road ...there is no wrong side
Dont go all woke on us with the mirrors 🤣
😁👍🏍️☁️
But I came here to see another bloody carb clean. So dissapointed
get the bloody farmer to clean the road there suppose to do it by law
No wounder the ride was crap one of the preload adjusters is all the way in and the other is out lol who ever set that up is dangerous 😂
Compressor on que. Bikes got a good rev counter.
No life below 3000 rpm. 😄
It's bad enough you have to deal with fixing the unfixable, let alone these dangerous shite back roads in the UK .... wow, no wonder your insurance premiums are sky high ...what a mess...
Turn off the bloody compressor BEFORE you film Jim ! 😂
fork preload looks wonky
