@@DailyDahaka Thank you for the compliment. Hope it has helped you with your repairs.

@@stevefletcher2334 not my credit, just spreading the knowledge…

@@dualstand1406 love to help but i do not have access to those bikes. And the big downside with motogadget is that they do not provide any help. Maybe consider NWT-cycletronic?

Spread the word!

You are more then welcome! hope to see the end result some day. The open-air-filters can be pretty hard to dail them in. So if you can keep the airbox. Good luck!

I dont think i have. If you are starting out I would highly recommend getting a service manual for your make/model. So a Haynes or Clymer manual. Those tell you exactly what to do. The carbs on a gs450 are very simple and basic. So just keep track of what you take off, check the manual for all the parts that are supposed to be there (because sometimes the previous owner skipped a part) and you should be fine. If i find a moment I'll try to make that video. If you have questions just let me know.

@@DutchedShedBuilds thanks a lot man, i will look for the manual then, I have a gs450s that my grandfother bougth 43 years ago and its been sitting 30 years, now i want to make it run again. Its the first time i do something like this and your videos are helping me a lot. Do you have any recomendations on how to clean the tank?

The CX500 hasnt got the most tasty as far as the headlight and fairing at the front, i totally I agree. But the look of the engine (and reliabillty) are they biggest pro's. And its a lovely bike to ride. NOt to heavy, not to light. As far as the sound... combine input might be an option (maybe us a splitter for the mic?). But what im learning is that i will have to use a second device..

YOur welcome! Got lotst of good tips, advice and feedback so far!

Thanks for the compliment! Under seat is not a bad idea. I'll have a go with that!

@@AceCafeBikes yep it a small country so we make good use of the limited space we have. I only mis mountains 🤪

@@the_cafe_racer_project thanks! And it works great

@@DutchedShedBuilds superb!

@@the_cafe_racer_project thanks for the feedback. More videos of Holland will come soon!

@@DutchedShedBuilds I’m looking forward to dropping by to say hello !

Nee, ik probeer met 0 euries toch wat veranderingen door te voeren. Maar ik zou wel heeel graag die schuur willen isoleren. Als ik dat ooit ga doen, dan wil ik het meteen goed doen... en dat kost centjes ;)

@@DutchedShedBuilds ja dat is waar. Ik heb het afgelopen voorjaar gedaan. Ook een hele verandering. Nu hopen dat de temperatuur schommelingen minder groot zijn komende winter

You're welcome! hope it helps you with this task!

Thanks for the compliment, glad you liked it. It would love to have a polish-wheel to really get stuck in, but we cant have it all. For now all looked great and stayed great (in rain and cold weather riding)

@@juandunas2381 i am not sure what you mean 🤔…??

@@DutchedShedBuilds new bolts nuts and washers and clean threads before installing anything in a old bike , great video by the way very helpful, thank you!

@@Khapaleno nou daar zal ik binnenkort een video overmaken, want ik heb daar wel een update over 👍

@@DutchedShedBuilds ik ben benieuwd!

​@@DutchedShedBuildszou ik al mogen weten of het positief of negatief nieuws is? 😅

@@damiandoherty8183 if you are europe side please go to novembercustoms.com. They are the new supplier

Agreed. Because those can be really hard to get on and off. Its good to know that underneath the airfilter there is a adjuster in the cable to get some slack (not much). Also its important to really free the carb up as much as you can before you remove the cables.

@@monkitribe7826 no. But if you want to see the how-to…. Check out my channel

I used a very simple (cheap) oilpump from a local supermarket/hardware store. There was hardly any fuel left in the tank. If you cant find a pump then use the 2nd method i showed with an aircompressor. Thats the safest way, but you will need and aircomprosser (even a small one will do)

@@joost2301 dat denk ik ook! Succes met de puzzeltocht 👍. Zorg dat je een werkplaats handboek hebt. Kun je niet zonder

@@johnrocker2986 coils were at my attention but just swapping out (potentially good parts) is something i wanted to avoid. The video is a while Ago and the coils themselves where not the issue and are still working fine to this day.

​​@@DutchedShedBuildsthe thing with coils is spark degradation over time usually caused by age but checking needs very expensive and precise equipment and cannot be tested by eye, but can throw up numerous running issues unless they are 100%

bullet connecters should work oke. Anything that will conduct electricity will work. But be aware that water will get in there, so find some way to keep the water out. You could just a small bend of copper wire (5-8cm long) and the fill the socket with some sillicone. As a temporay measure of course. Good luck with it., and thanks for watching!

Seems like it my friend. These types of bikes need attention and love. Not a problem if you like a bit of wrenching every now and then. Glad to hear you got your bike running, you learned along the way, and thanks for watching!

Yep, keep ‘em running. And im dutch so if we can do it cheap.. 😊. I installed before the DGR2024 and it worked perfectly. Too bad I couldnt somehow fix the old one.

Hi Rob, upgrading the headlight to led will require an additional led-resistor. But i used the motogadget and that takes care of that issue. Other then that you can put on any light you want. Not sure what you mean with the threaded plugs, the plugs have pins in them and you just twist them on to the sparkplug wire. The caps are usually sold as a complete unit. Just turn them straight on fresh wire. They self tap so to speak. Hope that helps. You are welcome to dm me on instagram of via my website

Hi Anthony, it was a while ago but i think i got them second hand. Cant really remember to be honest.

I never replaced the originals with aftermarket ones. The ones I used to test them were originals also. And in the end I never swapped the old ones as they were not the issue in this case. Dont know where you live but here in Holland they are fairly easy to come by (second hand and new)

Ok thanks for getting back to me. I’m in Canada and they’re tough to come by here. I’ll keep checking - I definitely am missing spark sometimes.

You are more than welcome! The building is really cool. The entire area is to be honest. Maybe you could go and have look yourself at some point in time!

Time will tell.

Thats good news! Never thought it would work so good. Brings hope to screw-ups like me😊

Reading all the comments i think it should be oke. But time will tell

Oke, that is reasurring to hear about the fuel-resistance. Yeah i hope i didnt take too much away but it feels pretty solid. Although if that idle-mixture-screw gets stuck over time it might cause the repair to break. I guess i will find out

I totally agree with you. I shoud have mentioned that in the video that there are plenty of different brands available. But this one just came along so often that I had to give it a go.

Same here!

The pro-builders did most (if not all) the BMW’s. Most of which are commissioned bikes. So a big market. I skipped a lot of beautiful bikes, i just wanted to give you guys a look at the motoshow. I think you would have enjoyed yourself, the athmosphere is really chilled. And you can skip the hipster tattoo and barber things if you want 😉

Ah.. the £33,- bikeshed hats 😜. I remember. Thanks and im also pretty curious myself 😂🏍️

Cant beat a good stockpile.. sorry to hear you cant ride this year but there is always next year! Where will you be riding?

@@DutchedShedBuilds I would choose a place in west germany, so not that far away. But before planning this I have to go through other things. The classical "first things first" type... :)
