Keep on waffling Jim, you have so much knowledge to share! Anyone can pull an engine apart, but your dialogue is what makes your videos great! 👍
We have no problem with you talking..this is how we learn..keep it up.
I enjoy your talking. The little things that you point out are worth mentioning. They are what no one else mentions and should. I bought a 79 gs850g spring of 80 and still have it. One of my favorites. I really enjoy your videos! Don’t worry about talking, I love it!
Been on Gs1000 since 78 had about 5 and still on a 78 .such strong bikes
GS are and have been my world since 78
Hello Jim, Absolutely worth the wait. As Marty Niner wrote it's not waffling it's sharing your experience, I believe it adds to your videos. Very clever those Suzuki engineers making that extra bit of casting to ease separating the crankcase.
Babble all you want man, I have found that is when the best knowledge drops
as others have said, dont be so hard on yourself. you dont talk too much, and your expertise is valuable and appreciated!
Thanks Mate 👍
Hi mate. As I mentioned before don’t worry about how long or how many vids it takes you I wish to see as much as you can show us. Love it. Knowledge is wisdom
I love that little engine stand!
nice to see a engine being worked on correctly unlike another channel that is currently destroying a 600 diversion motor :)))
Amazing that these old engines not only still alive but in such great condition inside. Looking forward to next vid
The nuber one thing most adults need to learn is why. You bang this out
of the park man. Keep it up.
I remember in the 1980s “motorcycle mechanics” magazine stripped down an engine from each of the big four to measure wear after about 35,000 miles. They were quite adamant that there was no discernible wear whatsoever in the Suzuki GS850 engine and hence Suzuki won. I’ve always loved the air cooled Suzuki fours, I had a GS550E which I regret selling more than any bike I can remember. I loved that magazine, but had to buy “bike” magazine to read the Orgi cartoon strip. People of my age will understand.
Had one of these in 1983.. first big bike after passing my test. Bullet proof.👍
Bulletproof engine and indestructible bike. I did 12 months as a courier on a 850G.
Twenty minutes ! Keep talking, the GSXR750 videos were excellent. If it's only 20 minutes x 3 then we know we're missing out
👍
I paid £500 for a ratty GS850g that used oil but was ex despatch bike with over 85000 miles. Great bikes
Great video. Good to see you back.
This is great. I have a GS1100 sitting in my garage that I'd love to start working on. It's almost in the same condition as this engine as well.
Fantastic video - thanks very much Jim - I look forward to some 'stop waffling,' merch coming soon
Love the video. Makes me wanna work on my 850 again. Also, that nut and bolt you used to separate the crank case. In tool and die we call that a "jack screw" 👍
Jim I had an 1981 gs850 with electric ignition keep waffling mate😆
Nice tip on crackin open screws for 1st time. To check it goes bk in ok.
I had a 1979 GS850 and yes it had points.
I can’t wait to see this project unfold! Excellent
Cheers Jim for another interesting & informative video series, you have so much knowledge to pass on.
Good to see you back
Great to see you back
I'm about 3 weeks into an 81 GS 850 Build. I wish you were NOT 4200 Miles away. id love to have that engine rebuild/ refresh done!!! dang.. I'm out looking for a solid shop!
Thx Jim very interesting content can't wait for the next instalment cheers
Got my first impact driver for Christmas age 12, there were something’s on my TY 175 that I just couldn’t move with a screwdriver and lump hammer.
You know what I mean!
At last, can’t wait for these
looking forward to this jim.
Had one of these with over 100k, ran like a watch.
Great stuff…working on one myself. Any idea of the complete engine weight?
keep them coming jim ....love it
Only the 1979 GS850GN had points ignition. Electonic ignition began with the 1980 GS850GT
thanks for this... very well done, I learned a lot.
Great video. Maybe one day you could make a video on what tools you recommend for working on bikes 🏍 keep up the good work
Love it man! Well done!
Has anyone told you they refused to subscribed due to your language? 🤣 you got a subscription from me guy! 🤘🏻🏁🇺🇸
I got extremely giddy when I saw an upload.
I had this with the water in the bolt holes of the cam caps when I rebuild a Honda CBX engine. I found this very confusing, but I came to the conclusion, that the water must have been trapped there after the washing process when the head was manufactured decades ago. I had plenty of water sparkling out like champain out of nearly every hole of this 6-cylinder head. Captured on video on my channel...
FIRST YEAR ONLY HAD POINTS,DIAMPHRAGM CARBS ALL HAD ELECTRONIC
You should sell T-shirts with "Stop waffling Jim".
🤣 Maybe with a picture of a waffle 🧇 🤔
@@SuperbikeSurgeryTV When I think about it: "Keep on waffling Jim" for us to wear. Nice video
Good to see a new video from you.
Love this series, thank for all the tips! Planning on doing my own restoration. Where can I buy that engine stand?
Hi Mate, Thanks for the kind words 😁 It's a Sealey MES03 Engine Rebuild Stand.
@@SuperbikeSurgeryTV Thank you so much. Unfortunately not easy to acquire in The Netherlands it seems :( BTW just finished the GS series. The engine came out fantastic! Cheers
@Remon Felix Thanks Mate, Glad you enjoyed it. Happy New Year 🙏
@@SuperbikeSurgeryTV Where can I get a new cam chain for the 850? Awesome video, very helpful.
Missed you Jim. Please talk as much as possible. These vids could be 3hrs long and we’d still be engrossed.
my GS850 has to come apart, I accidentally put a screw in the lower left engine mount hole, the one with the steel wedge as a nut, and it punched a hole in the case, just hope I can get to it with the Tig on the inside when I pull it down. It didn't take much force to punch the hole, the casing must be very thin in that spot....
Where can I get a new cam chain for the 850? Awesome video.
Hey Jim, thanks so much for this video series. I have a GS850 myself that I'm working on and preparing to take apart to restore. I'm not sure if you have mentioned it already but where did you get the gaskets, rings, bearings etc?
Good job keep on going can I ask where you get the engine block support where can I get it 👍🏼
Sealey MES03 www.sealey.co.uk/product/5637788879/100kg-engine-rebuild-stand---multi-cylinder
Thanks
Bit rough with that second cam shaft
Great video, I have a 79 gs750 that needs a rebore and new valve guides? And I cannot find anyone old school or with the knowledge, how much do you charge ? I can get it to you no problem,
Kind regards
Dan
just found your channel after trying to find why my GS 850 doesnt seem to want to run off choke with this shit petrol we have now dont change a thing keep the waffling
Can you explain why. my motor has a stud for the oil filter cover, in the way of one of the case halve bolts Is that just Suzuki gs750 design flaw?
What engine stand is this and would you recommend this or other engine stands?
how different is this from a 1980 gs750L engine
Apart from the gearbox output, lack if kickstart and the ignition it's pretty much identical to my 1977 GS750. Actually all the Suzuki 4 cylinder 8 valve engines are very similar - I know that 850 cylinders, pistons and head will fit on 750 crankcases
Is a gs 850 have similar engine as a gs750
What kind of engine stand is that?
Hi sir can you help me were i can buy a parts of this motorcycle suzuki katana gs 650g from the Phillippines we have only a few unit so the parts is hard to fined thanks.
Gs problably cdi ignition.
Very interesting as I'm about to start a restoration of a 78 gs1000 where did you get the engine stand?
Jim I took the sump of my gsxr 600 k3 this year to replace the gasket. There was a slight oil leak. Removing the remaining gasket that was stuck to the sump and the bottom of the engine was a nightmare. Is there anything you would suggest to make the job easier.Thanks in advance.Also I would pay money to come watch you strip down a engine to learn of you and would be more than happy to listen to your waffling ha.
There is no substitute for a Stanley Knife Blade in experienced hands for removing old gaskets! Finished off with some Red Scotch-Brite 👍
what would this cost a client?
What ever
happened to the cb550 engine?
I'm embarrassed to say it got filmed and never edited. Just too busy keeping my paying customers happy.
😎👍😎
Keep up the dialogue. The knowledge you share is great.
make the video longer and keep talking please....
A (mentally ill) friend gave me a GS850 a while back. Bog standard and in perfect condition. I turned him down and told him to sell it and give the cash to his wife. Glad I did but...
what is it, are you challenging someone else english youtuber?
🤣🤣🤣
Ciao!
Were would one get that motorcycle engine stand..
Gonna enjoy this Loved the 750 rebuild 😀
🤣
Love those GS motors.
Adore these older GS series plants for their robustness, and simplicity. Have wanted one of 850's for a time now, but they are getting rather scarce these days, especially if they aren't badly hammered up, or mangled a bit. Great instruction, with all the pertinent details, and the little surprises that await those confident enough to rip into one of these iconic power trains.
Hi, I'm a novice mechanic but going to rebuild the top end of my gs650 over winter... Any chance you have video of that engine rebuild? Or, how similar are these two engines..? Thanks... Pete.
