    Used it on my 2022 gsxr 750z. Had 2 inch and a half dents on the gas tank. Worked like a charm.

      Dan - thanks for watching buddy - ya, I am very happy with the results. An Acerbis tank will happen eventually - Like yours, DOC, VW - etc. - But Suspension is next & I really like showing people how to accomplish a bummer of a task. Fails also LOL.....

      Hi William - hope you and yours had a nice Thanksgiving weekend. Thanks for watching a pretty boring video (again LOL) but it may help others accomplish this goal. My little boy Blake dumped the DR a couple of times while we were camping, but he is ok and that's all that matters.
      Cheers Mate !!!

      "PC" - Thanks for watching - Even though I have to do some "touch up" painting, I am very happy that that dent is gone. I'm gonna do one more pull on that last little - lower portion of the remainder of the dent - as long as I can stay away from the edge of the decal !!!!!
      Thanks for watching & cheers !!!! - BTW - What did you name "THE MIGHTY SUZUKI DR 650" ???? 😬 Mine is named "THOR"

    Great vid. Really god job from this side of the camera. That little oops would have been all I needed to to sand her down get out the bondo and give the tank a wild new look. Love painting (airbrushing) tanks and fenders. So easy to do also.

      VW - Ya, it was the decal that got me - then a small portion of the paint - If it was all paint & no decal - I "think" I would have been ok. Gonna try one more pull on the last little lower dimple & STAY AWAY FROM THE FUCKING DECAL !!!!!
      Still 100% better than it was - and for a Dirt Bike, I'm cool with a little touch up paint. Still very happy with the results !!!

  • @altg5708
    @altg5708 9 месяцев назад +2

    You started turning the knob farther and quicker than you did on the previous times, even though you didn't ever do 1/8" turns.That might be why it took off the decal and paint. Before you were slow and 1/8" turns. Last one you turned it faster and 1/2" or more turns.
    Good video.

    Impressive! Patience is a must indeed, but that looks good. If you ever do need a stock tank (slightly used, undented, well loved, but not in a bad way) you're welcome to mine.

    WOW OBI! That system works quite well! It is actually cheaper than the cost of shipping my stock 2020 DR tank to you! Looks a heck of a lot better. I was wondering how it would affect the paint and stickers. Great video on how to fix trail damage!

      Thanks DOC - I'm gonna do one more pull - (while my phone charges) - and try to stay away from the decal, and get that last little lower "dimple" out - but that's it. It's 100% better than it was - and for a dirt bike, I'm cool with a little touch up paint. Acerbis in time (maybe) - Suspension is next LOL.....

      Stanley - Thanks for watching. I don't think it'll pull off paint by itself - however, the sticker started & took some of the paint with it LOL.
      My "little" boy dumped the bike while we were camping. Actually fell over to the right - but hit so hard - That dent was from his left knee HA HA - But he was fine & THE MIGHTY SUZUKI DR 650 was good to go !!!!!

    Do you think there's anything that could have been done to prevent the removal of the decal/paint? I just bought a DR with ACERBIS tank installed and it also came with a dented OEM tank. Would like to make the OEM nice again but a bit worried now. Thanks!

      Brother - No matter what you do, this is a possibility, however, I think if I would have backed off a little sooner, I would have been ok. I'm sure you've done a fair amount of research, but some guys do it from the inside out. I tried it various times with absolutely no luck.
      I know I'm not much help, but good luck !!!!

    Should we empty the tank or can we just used it on a tank with full of fuel?

    • @pilotdane1
      @pilotdane1  2 года назад +2

      I did not empty my tank. If you leave fuel in there - do NOT use a heat gun, or hair dryer. The safest thing to do would be to empty the tank. Your call on that one - Hate to give advice on something like that because a ton of people say "use a hair dryer and get the metal warmed up before pulling out the dents." I found it made no difference.
