Around here it seems clapped out bikes are worth more than restored ones.

Great ! enjoy the rest of the episodes. Thanks for watching !

Thanks !

Thanks for watching!

Lol yeah you have to really want to see it through to the end. Thanks for watching.

I think the front tire was IRC ? I'd have to look. Excel rims are nice, a little pricey , just be aware you need to use the excel spoke nipples. I'm not sure that excel would make a spoke kit for that bike so dont rush into ordering those until you do the research. DID dirtstar are also good and not as picky about the nipples. Yes 1.6 x 21 , you may run into finding a rear 1.85 x 18 , 36 hole to match tough if you are doing both wheels , I ended up putting a 2.15 x 18 on the back. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the kind words and for watching. Hopefully the videos help you along the way. Good luck on your restoration !

They look complicated but as long as you have them in correctly it only goes together one way. Was it you asking for build costs ? I added all the receipts and its $3237.00 US dollars all in.

@ Yes I was wondering the build cost. Very interesting. Thanks again. Your videos will be very helpful

Hey, Thanks for watching !

Thankyou !

Thankyou !

Thanks . Yes I will provide a total at the end of the series. I haven't added anything up yet but I'm sure it will be more than its worth. There is no money in fixing up old broken motorcycles, you just have to do it because you love it.

Yes that would be good on the smaller dents. Heat and air pressure doesn't work as well on the small deep dents as it does on the larger ones. Thanks for watching !

As I said in the video I'm showing how I did it , there are no doubt multiple ways to do it. Thanks for watching !

@ good work none the less I was just adding another way to do it especially for ppl without heat from a torch but I do think a plumbing torch would work too. BTW great job and thank you for making this video!!!

I assume its all plastic ? Plastic is not easy to paint. It probably bubbled on the tank from the gas inside . Its really hard to stop a decal from bubbling on a plastic gas tank once you put gas in it . My advice would be to visit your local autobody supply and get their advice . Sometimes they suggest an adhesion promoter and or a flex agent for plastic painting. If you are going to ride it it could be hard to keep the clear coat on there. Thanks for watching.

If you use a rattle can clear you will need the Spray Max 2k Clear Glamour. It’s a two-part clear with a push button at the bottom of the can that releases the hardener into the paint. This is the only rattle can that I’m aware of that is gasoline resistant. Any other rattle can clear will wash away, and it would never get hard enough in the first place. Good luck!

As I said in the video I'm showing how I did it , there are no doubt multiple ways to do it. Thanks for watching !

Thankyou !

About 10 minutes or so , at first 10 psi wasn't enough so I slowly raised to 30 psi so a lot of the footage I cut out since it didn't really add anything. Thanks for watching.

Right on ! Thanks for watching

Thanks . No I don't really do custom work , I make the videos to show people how I do it. I'm not familiar with your swingarm , if it was anodized you'll have to find a place that does that . If it was originally painted or clear coated you can look at one of my older videos of a CR swingarm that I did . Thanks for watching !

Thanks for the feedback. I'm still finding my niche on youtube. I don't think I'm an entertainer , probably more like trying to share what I know , hopefully it helps people along the way. Thanks for watching

Hi, I ordered the two needle bearings for the link from Yamaha. The rest of the rubber bushings didn't need replacing. Check partszilla for what's still available from Yamaha. Thanks for watching !

Thanks I appreciate it !

Thankyou for watching !

Thankyou , and thanks for watching !

Hey , thanks for watching !

Thanks for watching !

Thank you !

Right on ! Thanks for watching.

Hi , yes I downloaded a manual and I know where it goes now but thanks for letting me know and thanks for watching !

@@whatshappeningintheshop Did you get to the point when you install new throttle cable off ebay and it is too short? I did today 😆

@@Ch4llenger440 Lol no but that has happened to me before , some of that chinese made stuff is junk

@@whatshappeningintheshop True, when it comes to levers and cables I always go all original, but when it comes to 70s and 80s stuff its not always so easy. That swingarm axle was salvageable, you just need to know how to deal with it from the get go

I am also building a 83 it, i’m close to finishing up my engine, after that restoring everything else, painting the frame, refurbishing plastics, new bushings, etc

I put yamalube 2R in because thats what I had on hand and used back in the day for my CR's

Thanks ! Yeah I try not to use the torch much but some areas are hard to get the buffer in . Its a lot of work to do a tank but just have to stick with it. Thanks for watching

Thanks ! Yes yamaha in the early 80's had the sprocket on the opposite side . I have never ridden an IT so looking forward to learning and restoring as I go.

Thanks, that was a tough one

Thanks for watching, biggest thing I can stress is to download a proper repair manual. You can find them for free if you join a YZ450F facebook page and look under the files section.

@@whatshappeningintheshop Thanks! I found the manual, but seeing the drawing is something other than tearing it apart in real life 😀So hopefully your videos will be helpful ☺

Was it a good riding bike ? I haven't rode on one. Thanks for watching.

@@whatshappeningintheshop yeah it was actually quite fast for a 175, powerband like a yz250. i put big bore kit in it so it moved out ,

Thanks for watching !

Me too, thanks for watching !

Yeah it needs some love.
