What should we do on this Peugeot RCZ? Let us know what you would do with it... be nice! Should we do some mods, wheels tyres, suspension, we should start with service stuff like cambelt etc but then what? maybe a stereo upgrade?

Dirt dobbors nest brown wasp
You need a mercury vacuum gauge and a glass plug to set them up right if you have split and dismantled them. Honda advised not to split them and just clean .
I always try to keep them together unless you have to get in there, like if the link pipes are split between carbs etc
Is this the same system as my 2000 vfr800?thanks
Probably very similar given it's the same era.
Music is toooo high can’t hear you 😮
remember this bike well watching you race at avon park raceway
Why this so called music????😢
Don't worry, it's going to be gone on the next one!!

The music is annoying
I bought and still have an HDI Diesel 2 litre and love it. At 163 BHP its too tame and definitely requires a re-map which results in 200 BHP. The difference is considerable. Also I had the break callipers properly painted. The wheels were in good condition but they will get shopped in two weeks for a powder chrome job. Always keep an eye on tyre pressures and oil level - I mean weekly. I also had the gear box oil changed at the time of purchase. If you look after them they go like a small train and are fantastic on the motorway - quiet with good fuel consumption. Its a fun practical car with great lines. They are a hard ride and do not tolerate potholes. You will be into new springs if you ignore this... pick the best line! What a great car -
Ah thanks so much for the shout Andy I appreciate you..
Hi there I've got a 850 engine for sale 26000 but it was rebuild about 10 years ago but engine all ways in side though I just give you a nob .yours rat nice bike

DEFO ditch music.
Videos are much much much better without shite music we want to see you fix the Honda not this bs musical.
Jib music
The second bike was an 82? should be called 70-80'''s bikes. Cmon man
Well done on spotting the deliberate mistake
4 out 5 bikes right and 1 year right I like the quiz though
Front brakes : upper bleed valve front left then upper bleed valve right side. Rear brakes: right side front caliper centre bleed valve then left side front centre bleed valve. Then go to rear caliper centre bleed valve. Lastly rear caliper outer rear bleed valve . That's the sequence from the workshop manual .
if its the 2litre diesel getting it chipped to 200bhp ,the twin exhaust tips are fake,you could allways get a cat back sport exhaust made up,
I owned an ‘83 CB900F Super Sport back in 1990 , the silver/grey and blue editions. 1 of the best sport/tourers ever I had. Had the greatest experience on my very first “my money” bikes when I bought a brand new 1976 Yamaha RD400c.
Full choke no throttle.
Your background music is to loud, hard to hear you talking
Thanks for the feedback, I'll sort that out for future videos 👍
I love my GT200. Might keep it standard though 'cos apparently these are a nailed on future classic ?
Mate, how can I message/email you ? I'm an RCZ fan and I could help you with the best price on parts, original aftermarket or even second hand. Thanks

I lasted 3 mins the music did my head in
Don't worry, the next episode will cut the music out! I always listen to the feedback, thanks for your comments.👍
Great to follow along on this, one of the best bikes ever built. If I may, do not feel that you have to add music to the vid, it is sometimes a pleasure to just watch proceedings. Thanks again, Ian
I had one back in the day. Terrible handling, worse brakes. It was pulled out of a mates of a mates shed, and was my first big bike. No licence, insurance, tax or MOT, I rode it for 6 months getting away with it until my stupidity and neglect killed it. I eventually got legal, and always fancied another but sadly it was never to be. Will be following this along as it'd sit nicely with my other two bikes.
Thanks for the feedback I'll cut back on the music for the next episode 👍
Hi andy just a quick question: Are you fucking deaf?
ditch the background music andy
100% it is horribly distracting. Not required. It is like some terrible 1980's theme tune for some dreadful B rated daytime soap, but it goes on and on and on and on, unlike the theme tune which is still awful at just 20 secs.
Thanks for the feedback the next vids will be better.... I'm learning I hope!
How is that necessary when it needs cleaned anywsy..it's turning over it will run....

Wasp nest, clay masters 🐝
sir i cannot believe ive found this c hannel ive owned cb 900 f1 1981 kwak z1000 eddie lawson rep thati built my self ive been building 40years please carry on mate thank you
There will be a new video on the CB900 coming very soon, it's the next one in the workshop to get some love
What about the fact that family nearly got wiped out
Very lucky
Great bloke at that bike dealers ,forgot his name but bought a xlch off him from New York she was a dirty old girl rough around the edges but am getting there 👍.
It is a muddwasp nest
Surprised its got starter motor left!!!
We do check that the starter isn't getting too hot but you're right, it's a concern
Speechless, i am presuming they were either drunk or high on something? The woman walking with her kids was very lucky. We could easily have been looking at life changing injurys if not a fatality if the car had rolled onto them. As a fellow blackbird owner, i hope the bike is repairable. That`s if you still have the desire to go through all that hard work again ?Which i hope you do....
Just like my girl,black and shiny 😎 Like'd the video,keep em comming 👍 btw, friendly tip,tune down music or get rid of it all together. Peace
I remember that build and that days filming, a whole lot of fun right there!
Dirt dauber nests and from the color of the "dust," its southern red clay from southeastern U.S.
How did the std HYVO primary chain stand up to the abuse? Did you bend the crank as other CBX drag racers did? How many No1 cylinder rods did the motor throw?
Thanks for the comments, we ran a brand new chain for each season, never an issue, we never bent the crank but then we didn't try to lighten it like some others did so maybe that's something. We never had an issue with no1 rods or any of them, (the issue with number 1 rods was something standard bikes would encounter if left on the side stand and the fuel tap left on, because the no1 carb was so much lower that the no6 for example, fuel would flow down flooding the no1 cylinder and then bending the rod when you cranked the motor against the fuel which doesn't compress, later bikes had a vacuum valve to stop this) we broke the stock rods very early on and then went to the same set up as top fuel bikes and never had an issue, we broke a few clutches, broke a couple of gearboxes , I would say the gearbox was probably the limiting factor for us back then, we ran a 3 speed semi system in the end and that was brilliant until it let go when we got greedy with the boost pressure.
I have the same model bike ,same colour,been stood for 10yrs plus...it maybe worth taking a look beneath the points at the auto advance
That's a very good call, looking at the corrosion around the points then it's very likely that the advancer is stuck too. For this video we just wanted to get it to run, whoever buys the bike has the knowledge now that there's nothing major wrong and can go through it properly. We only have a few hours to do this. Thanks and if you haven't already then please click the subscribe, if you have then many thanks.
@@Andywiththespanners The auto advance can be stuck open,which means the engine will not run below about 1400rpm,if you are breaking that bike ,I would be interested in the kick start lever and switch gear,if not then thats ok
@@lipsee100 I was just visiting Topdog motorcycles and they just sell complete project bikes and nice running examples but not spares
@@Andywiththespanners No problem,,its stood for 10yrs I,m in no hurry...
Mud wasp nests.
Also know as mud dawbers
Thanks for that, it's not something that I've seen here in the UK 👍
the cb 500 was a twin cylinder
Yes, they did make cb500 two cylinder bikes but they did also make a four as per the video, this was later superceded by the cb550
got them all had most of them
