    Ive owned quite a few bikes in my 25 years of riding. And even though ive always loved my Hondas.. The Thundercat is the best bike ive ever owned. Solid build. Got over 80,000 miles on mine and I did 60,000 without an oil change. SHAME ON ME! But it shows how bulet proof it is. The bike is still running with a new owner ten years later after I sold it (its had an oil change by the way!). Thats how utterly brilliant these bikes are! Cheap to buy, cheap to run, fast as F*** and they eat miles as good as the most reliable Honda. If you want a quick 600cc for your first bike, thats cheap, this is the one! The worst problem I ever has was the rear disk brake cracking. The only annoying reoccurant issue was the brakes having to be serviced twice a year as they binded quite regually if your an all year rider. apart from that.... It was the best bike ive ever owned! Got a VFR800 V-Tec now. Lovely bike but the electrics are a pain in my arse! It would be as good as the Thundercat if it didnt have the electric gremlins.

  • @colinculverwell325
    @colinculverwell325 2 года назад +2

    Looks like that was over filled with oil. It did look very thin which I'd normally think to be fuel in the oil but as you have a fuel pump I don't think that much would leak from the carbs. Its 2.9 ltrs with oil and filter change.

    Love the video. How would you suggest accessing the plugs without having to do a carb job? Can the coil 'plates' be removed without removing the carburetor? Or is it meant to be accessed from the side? Thanks for any help.

    This video its awesome i just got this bike and learning a lot quick question right before you broke the drain plug lose you moved a rubber hose with plastic piece connected to it what is that?

  • @DB71170
    @DB71170 2 года назад

    Ideally you should loosen or remove the oil filler cap,as it will release the vacuum inside.
    You didn't replace or rotate the crush washer on the sump plug.
    Also ideally you'd check to see if any detritus is around the spark plugs & remove prior to withdrawing the plugs. Otherwise the detritus will fall into your engine.
    Looks like petrol has entered the engine oil via a sticking or leaking float bowl Gary.
    I use nrp.carbs in Manchester for rebuild kits...OEM quality and fair prices.

    • @ProjectMan
      @ProjectMan  2 года назад +1

      Hi Daniel sump washer was checked and I always blow air down before changing plugs to avoid any debris dropping into the engine like you say sometimes you get stuck into the job and you realise the camera is on or the footage is no good and this isn't a how to this is just me showing people me working on a project bike. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

    • @ProjectMan

      Putting oil on the filter prevents debris and dirt going through the filter 👍🏻

    Hi, I own a YZF 1000 Thunderace with only 100HP, which normally should be a 145 HP. I was told the bike is an import, probably from Germany. Is it easy to unblock the bike so that I can get the 45HP back?
