Next Time If You Want To Use A Good Silicone Sealant, Then Use Victor Reinz. 1 Of The Best To Use I Used To Only Use Ultra Grey. Like The Crank Casings, You Only Apply A Thin Layer, Leave It For About 10 Minutes To Make A Skin, Then Assemble. If You Put To Excessive Sealant On, It Is Going To Push The Sealant Out Into The Engine. & You Don't Want That At All. I Myself Is A 2 Stroke Fanatic, & A Motor Vehicle Mechanic, From 1993 & Also Worked On My Own Motorcycles. You Also Mentioned The Yamaha RD350. Also A Powerful 2 Stroke. Some Will Think Why Do I Say Her Or She. I Always Used To Tell My Friend, If You Give Your Wife A Hard Time & Problems, She Is Always On Your Case, Moaning & Groaning, & Always Talking Back. But On A Motorcycle You Can Rev Her, Ride Her As Hard As You Want, Do Anything To Her, & She Will Never Talk Back.😀😁😅😂🤣 Allen, Ladysmith, KZN, South Africa 🇿🇦
Don't Know Your Name, But I Started Watching From Part 5, 7, 8, 9, & 10. Part 6 Never Came Up As I Swiped Up, To See If I See Part 6. So I Need To Watch Part 1, To Part 4 & Then Part 6. From Part 5 It Looked Like You Only Had A Few Things To Do Before She Was Finished. & In Part 7, You Had The Head Off On The 1 Cylinder To Replace A Leaking Head Gasket. & Then Again From Part 8, You Had Almost The Whole Engine Stipped Down To Pieces. Did You Hear Any Unknown Noises In The Engine, That Didn't Sound Right, & Was The Bike Battling To Start Due To Compression To Low. You Mentioned About Seals On The Crank Behind The Roller Bearings, That You Need To Change. Is That Why You Stipped The Engine Down To Pieces, Because Of The 2 Leaking Oil Seals On The Crankshaft. You Did Fit New Pistons & Rings, Because You Mentioned In Part 10, That You Are Riding Her In, & Not Over Revving Her Over 6000rpm. She Sounds So Beuatiful & Running So Smoothly. I Watched A Video On A Pepsi RGV500, That A Well Known MotoGp Champion Used To Ride. & This 1 Guy That Also Race Around Tracks, Had The Opportunity Of Riding This RGV500. & The Power Is Amazing, & The Sound Is Totalky Different From The RGV250. As He Opens The Throttle & Changing Gears, The Front Wheel Is Picking Up.That's How Much Torque The RGV500 Engine Puts Out On The Back Wheel. In My Opinion, I Would Say That The RGV250 & 500, Is 1 Of Thee Most, Powerful 2 Strokes Japan Ever Build. Allen, Ladysmith, KZN, South Africa, 🇿🇦
How do you find the screen buffetting on the GT? I have an 890 Adv and the buffetting is awful.
Hey Mark. I know it's been a couple of years since you produced these videos. I came across them when trying to do a bit of research. I'm going through the exact same process after my RGV has sat for years. I'm at the stage where I'm having a majority of the bike being either powder coated or Cerakoted(?). I'm not the most mechanically inclined person and have relied heavily on the owners manual and TH-cam videos. The question I have for you is, with the bike completely in pieces, in what exact order would you start re-assembly? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated as taking the bike apart appears to be the easier of the rebuild process. Thanks in advance for your time and help!!
@@duaneacoba Hello. Best thing to do is get a rolling chassis together. It will make you feel like you are getting somewhere. You can then ad parts to it. If you watch all the parts of the build it will give you an idea of what to do.
@@itchingtoride Thank you, Mark. Looking forward to taking my time and enjoying the whole process.
@@duaneacoba enjoy 😀👍
Hi .. I’ve been watching your videos recently and I must say they are really informative and extremely useful. Can I ask one question as I’m in the middle of renovating my 4LO. Did you change the engine mounting bushes (top fronts and rears) ? I’d like to know how easy they are to replace, guessing some heat on the casing and carefully drift them out ?
@@simonarcher7783 Hello. No did not need to change them. Never changed any before. Probably need to press them out. Thanks Mark.
Thanks Mark, mine has only done 12K so some parts ‘should’ be OK to leave.
Could of opened it up… that’s the whole point of a 2 stroke
@@BiggAL93 I was running it in. It just had a full rebuild. It was its first ride.
@@itchingtoride oh I do apologise I just hate seeing videos when they don’t open her up🤣
I’m following u now🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
❤❤❤❤. Great bike.
just brought one for the economy. great bike.great review. thank you.
Nice
The best of the two stroke racers proper little race bike sounds amazing
Thank you.
Watched video on Tuesday 27 Aug 2024 at 11:50 am East Australian time. Thanks for posting. I’ve got a 2023 model Kawasaki Ninja 1000sx with a few mods such as Acrapovic exhaust system and just love the bike. Agree quick shifter could be a little smoother on the downshift. Thanks for posting your review 👍👍👍👍
So, this bike is for racing. I won’t start at every light with 5000 rpm.
Just found your channel, thinking about a 950s. Great video and ideas for places to stay. Is that a quadlock on your phone?
I had one back in 1984. Thanks so much for the little trip down memory lane.
La verdaf que no noto un cambio radical...
Aqui no Brasil não tem nenhuma!!!!!!
Pilotar uma dessa é prazer pra toda vida!!!!!!.....
Que máquina maravilhosa, essa é para toda vida!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
Mate, stick to the review.
You keep shortshifting. you need need to rev the tits off it to get the full noise from that end can. It does sound better at low revs with a deeper tone.
rode both and ended up with the suzuki absolutely the rght choice for me
Very nice great job 👏
@@mikeprior6898 Thanks 😀👍
Would have liked to got closer shots of the build and get the music turned down
Manual is the best, do not touch the DCT..a horrible mutation.
What a let down. Kawasaki really needs to comprehend this matters to many buyers.
I got a new one this year, when it was discontinued to be replaced by nx500. Well, I preferred the cb500x, which is much sexier and stylish than the new nx.
I'm from Singapore, and likewise, the local dealer is bringing in the NX400 to replace the CB400X. I managed to get the CB because the NX styling is kinda meh for me. Just hope there are adequate spare parts!
Nice toy 👍
Hi Mark, does the rear seat cowl come standard in the UK? Aftermarket ones are meant to be hit or miss...
Hello. No it doesn’t come standard. It’s a genuine KTM part.
Hi there … have you noticed a big change in fuel economy ?
Hello. I have never checked the fuel economy so I wouldn’t know.
Hi … I had the full system fitted to mine not long ago … according to the onboard computer I was getting 44mpg before .. this had dropped to around 34 mpg ….. sounds fantastic so maybe I’ve been revving harder 😂
I disagree I think k the kawasaki is better
The perfect bike for your crumbly golf cart roads!
hi mate when are you doing the test in the Suzuki rgv 250 ?
Hello. If you mean the test ride it’s been on my channel for about a year now.
@@itchingtoride Yea seen that one ,you was running it in and said you would do snootier test at a later day ,,also the rgv250 with the rg500 engine would be good to watch 😃
@@alfiebrindle4537 I have sold the RGV 250 so there will not be anymore videos of that. Hopefully will get to ride my mates RGV250 with the 500 engine in this summer 👍
@@itchingtoride Ok cheers 👍
Great video! What was the average fuel consumption for the whole trip on your Multistrada 950s? Regards!
Thanks. Sorry i don’t know. I didn’t check it.
🏍👍👍👍
Any issues with excessive engine heat in low speed city riding?
Hello! Is the sequence of the clutch different from the AC RDs? Cause the Yamaha manual says to start with clutch plate - o ring - friction plate and so on..
Hello sorry I don’t know only worked on the LC.
The number plate is ridiculous I would keep it in the side cases and tell any police officer that the mounts were vandalized and ripped off
Great bike but I'd never buy from a dealer that load up a bike with their name and logo. Car manufacturers do that enough, we don't need it on bikes.
Gday mate, I engineered my bike and lifted 2 expantion chambers under RGV m series tail complete with heat plate 2 Stingers exit the old rgv lights. Rgv m series mags with rear tire hugger and rgvm front nose and side pannels . Rgvm brakes and upside down forks. Fitted stronger mono shock. MoT certifying engineer said the bike had excellent mods to make bike handle and brake well, bringing bike to today's specs. Looks much like a ducati bi pesto 990. Through the oil injector into the rubbish bin imediately and pre mix. Piston 2 is famous for burning up from blocked injector to carrborator. Bush pig at low speed. But all hell breaks loose at 3000rpm. Hang on tight. Andrew Nz
Looks amazing proper street racer sweet ride wish I’d got one ☝️
Anyone remember Roger and his RG500 with Nikonfrom Box Hill in the late 80s??
You’ll want to look after the headstock bearings from wheelies-it will beat the bearing pocket oval and you’ll end up with a clicking feeling that can’t be cured by tightening the bearings on the steering stem. IMO this is a lot of the reason they tank slap.
🏍👍👍👍
I have an 86 rg500 mine has been bored out to 5:52 CiCi's it has the Tommy Croft pipes it hit the dyno @116 hp
Very nice 👌
Cool
I have this in my collection. Can't wait to get the first service out of the way so I can really experience its power. Keen to compare against my 2019 GSXR1000R and 2024 Sporster S
Can't believe some of the prices these after market companies charge.. Like they just make up a figure for a laugh... Blanking washers £25!😮...fly screen (plastic) £70😮 Tail tidy.... 😮 Fortunately I was lucky and there's a decent one by J Tech for 45quid
how much miles did you do on a gen 2 GT by now? were there any reliability issues in all these years? would you say that a 1290 GT is a reliable bike? great video :D keep up the good work :D
Hello. I think I done about 5,000 miles on it. I did have one problem with it. it did not start and it said fuel pump fault on the dash. Took it to KTM and no codes. It just said battery low voltage. Put a new battery on it was ok for the rest of the time I had it. But only done about 1,000 more miles and got a Ducati. I don’t think it was a battery as it was turning over nice and quickly. Great bikes to ride and fantastic engines but they do have some electrical problems. But all bikes do.
@@itchingtoride also, about the seat height, i'm 5'8 and i'm not sure i would be able to get my heals down, even in motorclcy boots. how tall are you, and how do you like the seat height?
@@jurepecnik9054 I am 5’11 and the seat height was ok for me.
