My name is Ben and I'm from Hertfordshire in the UK.
I Love bikes and anything that goes along with that, but mostly tinkering in the garage is my thing.
I'm not a professional in any aspect and my training is minimal, most of what I know has been learnt as I've gone along. This normally involves Google and TH-cam.
I hope I can make some content that keeps you entertained for a few minutes and maybe make you laugh.

Really helpfull, thanks bro🤝
Hi, I didn't understand the amount of oil that goes in there
I've worried about having the electronics in this area since I started my own build. Is this area not susceptible to water entering the electronics when riding in the rain?
Need to put the Fireblade to bed for the winter.....fairings off , good clean ACF her to stop the rust etc then wait for the spring again!
I fitted K75 throttle bodies to my 3 cylinder car engine and had to dismantle the entire assembly and make a new frame because the port spacing is different. Although I roughly set up the butterflies using the torch method I used a carb sync tool once they were on the engine. The tool is fitted into each intake in turn and it indicates the individual airflows with the engine idling.
Shame that pal .honestly i apreciate and starting a project good information to know
Jusr catching these videos .fair play to you .just bought a k100 so these are great
Hey Ben, I am hoping you will still get notifications on your videos many years later. Can you point me in the direction of the 3D printed advancement part you made for the TPS?
Hi. Great vid. I have a k75c which I bought as an abandoned bike that had been sat in someone’s garage since 2008 ( the original tax disc was still on the bike). I had to replace everything that was made of rubber, including the tyres. I went for the Avon Roadrunners, probably some of the best tyres available for this bike. All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧🛠️🏍
Do you still have a Facebook page
I used to have the exact same bike with the same colours, but with braided hoses and an after market end can. An amazing bike which i rode every day all year round through ice, rain, and snow with zero issues. I cannot fault this bike apart from the regulator/rectifier which may go and need replaced, but thats its only issue. The paint finish is outstanding and stands up to years of UK salted roads in the winter. This carbureted version is better than the later FGM Honda CBRs which i regretted buying later and cost me a lot. Such an amazing bike in every way still after riding it for many years. I should have not have ever sold it.
I have question, where is VIN Number ?
5-10 min if you do it in reverse pumping from the caliber instead. Way easier.
Hier ist sehr schwer für mich 😢
thanks for these video this is the only part that I was unsure about (the wiring)
Danke sehr für deines Geiles Videos , ich verstehe kaum Englisch aber du bist wirklich Profi und verstehe ich dein Akt . Thank you
In your diagram the earth wird from the coils goes directly into the plug of the ignition control unit, but here it seems both wired up to the frames earthing points? I’d appreciate some help, thanks a lot!:)
I am looking for a section on how you wired the excite wire. I couldn’t find it, is there a different video where you go over it?
I'm busy with my k75s alternator, thanks for the video but please for the love of *** ditch that intensely irritating music.
Wrong in every way ... pointless replacing fork oil without a complete fork strip/clean.
less talking more working
Less commenting more colouring inside the lines
No locktite?
I used to own a 97 version and best bike I've ever owned
Hi Ben, I like your rear suspension. Did you test it does it work?? Do you have measurements of it? Or a drawing..?

Good video, just what I was looking for. Just did my K1100LT. Got tired of the engine stopping whilst riding, which is dangerous. Yes, it is a good piece of kit. Thanks!
not excellent
2years later and still the best detailed video thanks to
Do you like it on the stiffer side or light side. New springs means it's stiffer so you may have it mid way
it has 100hp...don't expect to much power. specially in low and mid revs.
I hit 140mph before it topped out! The old carbed versions are fast as feck!
What gauge wire do you use please , cheers
I bought them for € 2,- a pair. Exactly the same.
I need support/advise by an expert as you are. I replaced the 3 injectors on my 1991 k75 bike. With some hesitation it starts but revs up only to 3000rpm . No way to go further the 3000 rpm. Any idea about it? Tks a lot from Rome.
Muitas pessoas se enganam quando se trata de moto antiga e carburada pois eu mesmo tenho uma cbr 1100xx 1998 e não troco por nada e ja tive várias motos carburada desde Twitter gsx 750f 2008 2:51 cb 500 2005 e agora estou com uma cbr 1100xx 1998 são as melhores motos as carburadas não dão manutenção nenhuma como alguns pensam mas as injetadas são as que mais dão dir de cabeça pois além de serem injetadas também possuem muito sistema elétrico e aonde dão mais problemas em vista das carburadas é só limpeza de carburador mesmo e se precisar pelo contrário não incomodam em nada.
can I ask why it appears you have the starter relay wired the opposite way around original - i understand terminal 30 to be connected to battery and 87 to the starter?
This has to be, one of the most stupid videos I've ever seen. Why on Earth, don't you simply calibrate the venturi, throttle body openings, by sliding down a feeler gauge into the aperture(s) and record the openings? For your information, I've owned a K100 since 1990.
INMACULADA Y HERMOSA COMO ELLA SOLA , UNA MAKINA CLASICA QUE JAMAS VA PASAR DE MODA, EN FIN, MI NOMBRE ES XAVIER, SALUDOS DESDE ARGENTINA.........
the spark plugs were expensive ones and in near new condition................put them back in
I know its bn a long time since you made this video. . My quest is the actual lay out of the fuel pipe,s flow direction from the pump to injectors and the return to the tank . Where is the fuel pressure regulator situated ?
Although incredibly expensive ($526 before discounts and tax) for 2 bar end mirrors and 2 bar end turn signals from Motogadget - they are incredibly INCREDIBLY well constructed and quality build. So, will the cheaper stuff work...I'm sure it does but if you can afford them or 'make it happen' as they say...I think they are worth it. My bar end M. Cruise and bar end turn signals total after tax were $414 after discounts so I couldn't say no.
Does this Unit give you the option to do away with all the OEM handlebar switches on a sports bike and just replace with push buttons then ?
Great vid, thanks. I have a question as your in the UK, I have just got hold of a K1100 LT and plan a full cafe racer, and intend to shorten the frame in the seat area, fitting the hoop that's available thus modifying the frame, did you do this and if so did you have to have the bike reinspected by DVLA? Cheers.
nice video ! what for handle unit is this at 6:10 ?
7.23.23. If you hate alternators, you’ll “absolutely” hate a permanent magnet Stator charging system’s ⚠️, like the one Honda put on the four-cylinder Goldwing bikes, that you have to pull the engine in order to change the Stator in the back cover‼️
Nice video but a pity you didnt open and clean the starter that for sure is full of carbon. MAYOR issue with K bikes. If you have problems with your lights blinking , fuel pump pressure problems , injectors ,etc. You know where to go back for cleaning
Thanks but there’s no issue with the alternator, it works perfectly.
Can you send me the 3d model of that?
Hi sir, I have a air leak on screw that hold the butterfly and mechanism of thortlle line. Can I screw it hard… any help..? Thank you
Tip for removing the filter, don’t use a screw but use a small flathead screwdriver and lift up the copper ring. It will come out with filter fully intact.
