I have enjoyed all your railway videos especially the ones in the east riding of Yorkshire, keep up the good work Pete

Iridium plugs work just fine with Bandit's. It seems to be schtick with older fellas saying irdium plugs don't work with X older model motorcycle.

Some really good video footage on this one 👍

Fantastic video Peter enjoyed every minute of it keep doing what you're doing it's brilliant.

When the railway lines were dismantled, did the farmers get a chance to buy back or technically does it still belong to the railway company? I’ve often wondered this

Great video, I was out walking along the Hudson Way from Market Weighton only this week.

Great video Pete: I trust the Bandit's still running ok. 🙂

Brilliant vid. About 1988 i was friends with a guy who owned Ruler Hall and we could walk along the platform from end to end. Its incredible how nature has taken over and covered it in just 40years.

Those are the corner Frames from looks like 20ft box wagon irons are the braces from axle box woulve sat under t shaped iron 12/18tone

Hello i hope I can help,I have a 2004 cb600f and had similar problems your having,mine also was leaking from the carbs as the seals were 20 year old. I bought a new complete kit from amazon been leak free since,make sure to completely clean the channels the seal sit in as there will be remnants of the old one in there use something plastic to dig and scrape you don't want any scratches in there ,once clean used some grease in the channels then placed the seals Into place the grease helps them stay in place and expand so I'm told. I only run my bike on Shell E5 V power it's faultless and runs like a dream hope this helps good luck and never give up on her 👍

Thank you for a great video and I’m proud to say that this was my home 🤗 Yes, to the signal box and a train went off near there too apparently. And there was a small garden, I would get gooseberries, rhubarb & horseradish, they were on the go for years. Many childhood adventures on that line and I still have a piece of the original line (Obviously it’s not light and removal men bringing me up to the Highlands couldn’t believe I was lugging it around with me lol 😂). The yard you are in near the kennels had a row of coping stones which kept the parking area off the track, some lovely ones, wonder where they are? There wasn’t any Christmas Trees, we had poultry & I had Pet Sheep and the small quarry was at the back, sadly it has been filled in, shame, I don’t think it should have been, really was small, but a haven of flora etc (Bit like the viaduct towards North Grimston, sad day when it came down). The weigh room was always under lock & key by my dad, but I would try to sneak in when I could lol The crossing going across the road, well it was an another sad day when they filled that bit of the line in, as it was wonderful too, cowslips galore and lots of treasures, old bottles, pots etc I’d like to know who gave you permission (Just curious, as obviously I know them). I have numerous photos from when it was an active station (You’ve posted some) and from since it closed. And stories a plenty (Including the ghost of the house 😉). It is a very special place indeed and there will always be a part of me there. Thank you for sharing & I seem to have got something in my eye whilst typing 🥹

when did you film the video

Nice one Peter loved it 👍

There would of been a stop cock outside of the building you could of turned the water off At least to save the water being wasted Great vid Sad to see it in this state

Really Really enjoyed this one 👌

Nice one our kid loved it 👍

little sh*ts have ripped out the pipes out the water coming from ceiling is from upstairs

Thanks for the explore, Pete. Apparently plans have been drawn up to demolish and build eight homes on the site.

I diagnose substance abuse and draughty knees cause by her torn jeans 😢😢

Great video..thanks for making it👍 I spent a large time of my happy childhood playing on the "banking" as we termed the cutting in the 1960's/70's as my house backed onto the railway line. It was basically a giant childrens playground Here's a few of my memories (1) There's a stream underneath the present backfill, I used to make small dams in it (2) There's a housing estate to the left towards Milner Road junction. I have fond memories of being let into the cab of a bulldozer and driver even letting me have a go with the controls 😁 (3) We'd often find giant bolts from the railway, but no sign of the sleepers or track (4) Back then children could buy fireworks, we used to set them off in the tunnels and build bonfires in them - maybe that's what the soot is! (5) Train used to drive past around dinner time, kids used to come into my garden to wave at the drivers (6) Many kids used to makes slides down the cutting. Minor injuries were frequent, but mum would just patch us up and we'd go back!

Brilliant video my dad always told me railway buildings were built to last the blue bricks you refer to are Staffordshire blues very hard engineering bricks thanks for a lovely tour

The metal work you pointed out could possible have been to secure telegraph poles, they are called turn buckles (I think), there was a lot of them supporting poles due to the condition of the ground Hope that helps

Great to see a new heritage railway coming to life. The only carriages are those two in the platform. All the rest are wagons.

Check wiring diagram online (if exists) for color coded cables and their purposes.

Great setting with those views

A couple of suggestions It would be nice if you could search the dates on the food items to get an idea of how long it's been empty. Also, it's hard to see the items you focus on, because it's blurry. Otherwise, love the video.

Pete this was incredible and the attention to detail and the colours….wow. I thought I was in a living museum like Beamish!

In the smithy, you say ''two oil lamps'' , but one is a Primus stove. That would be a good item I'd think to date the last occupancy. I don't think they are as old as one hundred years , but I don't know for sure . Incredible place though, for sure.

The long black tap that goes below the frame rail unscrews from the fuel tap, this is meant to be removed from the fuel tap before you lift the tank, makes it so much easier, as for the running issue it sounds like fuel starvation, perhaps the fuel line is or vent hose is kinked?

It was a true time capsule Pete.

Did you take the bandit?

The uniform in the picture was RAF . There are so many of this type of empty houses over here in Ireland . Still furnished and old food and various items left inside. Great steam make a difference from your Bandit lol. 👍👍👍

Brill !

Wow that is amazing, great video

The boiler in front of the fire is a swill boiler for boiling pig swill

It took me about many tries to find a fuel filter that I could put on my ‘98 bandit that met 2 very important criteria. 1: it had to fit. (Space is tight under the tank.) 2: it had to allow sufficient fuel flow. Most are either too big to fit and/or also expect a fuel pump. This is a gravity fed fuel system. If I remember correctly 6 to 12 inches of petrol has about 0.1 to 0.2 PSI of fuel pressure. that is the height, roughly, from the top a gsf600 fuel tank to the carbs. It is almost zero pressure. A paper filter is not a filter, it is a blockage I eventually found a Micro filter, about the size of my thumb, that uses a sintered filter element and I can fit it in under the tank, on eBay.

You didn’t get scammed you just didn’t check it properly

For the brake lines, should be 1 line down to a splitter on the bottom yoke, then from that 1 to each caliper. Having 2 lines from the master cylinder to the calipers will make zero difference to how the brakes work, just that if replacing the braided hoses the 2 direct lines are cheaper (careful how you route them as braided lines are more easily damaged if they rub on anything). The front brakes should not be that bad. But they can easily start of stick. They are easy to strip down. Check the calipers slide on the carriers. Pop the pistons out, clean out the grooves the seals sit in (likely some corrosion in them) and reassemble. If you want to lube the pistons, etc, then use red rubber grease (the Granville one is the one I find the best). Then reassemble and bleed thoroughly. The rears regularly seize up, especially the pins that locate the pads. I would suggest you pick up a spare caliper and strip / rebuild it in advance. Then you can just swap it on (and rebuild the one currently on the bike when convenient).

For someone who knows nothing about mechanics, you have done an amazing job. You have achieved great things and gained some knowledge. The bike seems to be running great, so i was wondering why are you going to pull the head? If its not broke, dont fix it. My advice is to leave well alone.

Put an original muffler back on and it will probably give it more low done torque and be lovely and quiet

Buy a bottle of afc50 ready for the winter salt roads,give bike thorough clean and spray it everywhere evexpt brake parts

Yeah leave the head alone. Only if the oil return pipes are leaking as they rust. Left and right front of the engine above the exhaust. I spray mine with silver high temp paint. Get an extender fender for the front mud guard. Your ins should cover a breakdown.

You should always get brakedown cover on your insurance. It's not that expensive and it's peace of mind.

Don't take the head off Pete would be my advice. What will you do once you've got it off? You're getting yourself into a whole heap of trouble, micrometers, shims and a whole load more. It sounds great now, so if it ain't broke, don't try and fix it Pete. I'd have no trouble doing it, but I'm a mechanic with all the tools to do the job. Leave well alone Pete. You've found and fixed the problems, so enjoy the bike is my advice. 🙂

If u take valve cover off to check valves u should be able to re use the rubber gasket

Sounds good 👍 can't really make out how loud it is but it's a nice note

Good job pal but now you've developed the motorcycle project bug it does feel good thou doesnt it to get a bike back on the road i like tinkering wi bikes as much as riding em

Having moved from Leeds to Driffield, it is nice to have a road trip round my old stomping ground. Cheers

Well done fella, that exhaust would do my nut it. 😂

Don't forget to fasten that helmet fella, we've all done it😂
