    This is the sort of video that would encourage me to buy the bike from a seller. Can you imagine if someone has every service on video. What a fantastic proof and reassurance that the work was actually done.
    Do you give a copy of the video to the customer?
    Do you mention this in any adverts?
    And that oil was so clean. That would also encourage me to buy that particular bike.

      you really gotta rev it for quite a while.just drive it for half an hour and keep the revs between 6 to 11k. Really gotta heat them carborators up.
      If theyre really dirty you have no chance but to open and clean it, especially the idle nozzle (or whatever its called. leerlaufdrüse in german)

    I had a gs500f and it was always a pain but a stage 2 jet kit and a k and n air filter took care of 90% of the problems. As long as it wasn’t freezing outside you didn’t even need the choke lol

    Increadibly informative for a person like me (who didn't even know that the brake fluid has to be changed). I am planning on buying a bike like this and I will probably rely on a mechanic for servicing, but I still wanted to be informed on whats the process which you showed pretty well in my opinion. Thank you !

    What do you do in the winter Steve, do you only accept jobs if the customer has a garage that you can work in?

    My gs 500 keeps dying on me either cause of too much air in the fuel tank or too little gas intake what could cause this? Im thinking maybe that I need to clean the carburettor

      Check your fuel tap and make sure that isn’t blocked.
      Then you can start to dig in further

    Whatever happened to bikers servicing and mending their own bikes?

    • @themobilemotorbikemechanic
      @themobilemotorbikemechanic  4 месяца назад +7

      Most people do not have the tools or the knowledge to do it themselves, and modern bikes can be very complicated and even intimidating to try and fix.
