1973 Honda XL175 Restoration - Part 2 - Engines, Gears and Design Flaws!

- Welcome back Scrivscribers! In this video I get right into the disassembly of the bike. Unfortunately Honda did an awful job designing the kick start mechanism on the XL175, and as a result I am retracing the steps to get it fixed. I also changed the tyres, gave the wheels a polish and fixed the exhaust pipe!

Epic Music:
Song 1 - Club foot, Kasabian.
Song 2 - Just Jammin, Gramatik.
I rode one of those back then, it was a joy to ride, dependable, with excellent torque at low rpm.
The previous bike I rode was a Kawasaki KH250 3 cylinder, 2 stroke, which had the low rpm power of a lawnmower.
Good memories, but mostly of the Honda. 🤣
With people like you I do believe in the future of humanity.
Way to put the pressure on!! :P thankyou friend, much appreciated.
Enjoying the show. I had the xlr125 back in the 80s. Nice bike.
Can't wait for part 3!! Hearing it fire up will be so exciting!!
Impressive - you took one look at the oil nut and said - "I need a special tool that can unscrew this". Smart, observant and very patient. Most people would try and just use a screwdriver and butcher the whole thing. Now I'm subscribed. :-)
Can’t wait for the finished bike. Mine in the 70s had a red tank. Loved that bike. Upgraded to a CB550 in college.
All videos are uploaded now!
Where is Part 3? Best Restoration video ever
You're making progress, looking forward to next episode. Will be awesome to see it finished and running.
I'm terrible at the "Putting it back together" Part when i undertake spontaneous experiments lol, It's nice to see someone good at that! Love the songs!
Haha, I'm certainly no expert! Prepared to give it a red hot go though!!
those impact screw drivers are a godsend, they have saved me numerous times
There is always some part of a restore or repair that wakes you up at night ..I can't do it, I can't do it......great to see someone just diving head on into it...and the tyre changes - impressive (for me anyway).
Great video. I did panic a bit when your friend told you to drill out the bolts before you started with the impact driver. Glad you went with the latter approach.
So much work mate, well done! Keen to see the final product :D
Bought one brand new and the kick start shaft snapped just after the warranty run out, push started it for about 6 months while I saved for a new one, Had so much fun on that little bike. Currently got a 2018 Triumph T120 jet black and in sentimental tribute to the XL I having the tank painted with some orange stripes. Look forward to part 3
i swear i am the american version of you. awesome content man!
Good work! No matter how much you speed up a tire change it still looks like a pain in the ass, haha.
The reason the engine case screws are rounded out is people used phillips head screw drivers on them. They are J.i.s. japanese industrial screw. They are different. You could have cut a slot in them & used the slot bit with the impact driver.
Starting a dt100 soon big fan keep it up
Thanx for the save! 👍😎🇺🇸
No, YOU are the legend!
Anímate y sube la parte 3 :) Saludos desde Barcelona.
Love your vids bro
Thanks mate :)
Great stuff mate, 2 weeks for the special tool to arrive and when it does it looks like a socket you could’ve modified with a file. How frustrating
I know right!!
heyy waiting for p3 please :D
Online!
host your own show on TV mate, your awesome
Know anyone that can make this happen? ;)
Sadly not. .. but better Homes and Gardens would be a start
budget restore, i love it, keep it up :D Love from italy :D
Nothing but the best! ;) thanks friend!
Part 3.... and 4 5 6 ,,,, please !!!
Part 3 live!
Great series, but trying to split two engine cases with a screwdriver is a really bad idea. Your eventually going to mark one of the mating surfaces and it wont seal properly when it comes to putting everything back together.
Totally agree, if only I knew 8 months ago what I know now...
good job
another great vi exhaust was looking good in the end ,i was ahead of you with the impact driver wondered what you would do and then your good mate turned upwit one wehey what a mate i hope you supply his beers lol .that kickstart what a pratt but hey ho no pain no gain .music was good in this vid i like the way you do them and your filming and editing . im not good witj computers n stuff so i normally just load it onto editing suite straight from the can ,i suppose i will get better in time hey ho .Amt from wales UK.
Waiting Honda restoration part-3... dude
Special tool I ground an old socket till it fit
Actual men don't need music

gotta be careful using a drill to break loose the engine covers..... they are aluminum.
Están trabajando super mal . Afortunadamente no partieron las aspas de la canasta de prensa . Pero falta mucho conocimiento .
