Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching 👍 Yes, it's a shame that TH-cam doesn't have Aromavision lol 😂

Thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, that RGV was evil sounding lol 😯 I don't know if it'd actually been entered into the concours 🤔

😂

Bit of a ZZ Top look going on there! 😉

At least your bike has a front disc, so your braking anxiety will be a bit less than mine. What condition is the bike in? Hopefully you'll enjoy the Kawasaki triple experience 😄 Thanks for watching my videos 👍

Yes, though I think the Suzuki GT 550/750 3-into-4 systems are cool too! 😄

Me too. It's been a couple of weeks since the last video 😕 Thanks for watching 👍

@@derekb2765 Thank you, sir. Let's hope we don't have to wait much longer.

🙏

I don't understand. Could you explain? Thanks.@@derekb2765

Thank you for subscribing. 👍 It is unusual for a black guy to be into classics I suppose.

Ha ha, you're a braver man than me! 😯 I won't be testing the top end of mine anytime soon. I'm just glad when they get me to where I want to go! Thanks for watching the video 👍

I use the powered screw driver on a light torque setting to speed up the screwing in process. I tighten by hand. Thanks for watching the video 👍

Glad you enjoyed the video. And thank you sir for watching! 👍

Thank you 👍 And thanks for watching 😊

Glad you like the bike 👍 The previous owner commissioned the paint job and mods to make this 1974 H2 look like a 1975 version! Thanks for watching the video 😃

Thank you for the kind words 😃 I use the Dowty washer wherever possible. It's a shame I can't use them on the input pipe banjo because of the differing diameters on the fitting. 🤔

Won't that contaminate them potentially? 🤔

You could also rinse them off afterwards with some brake clean spray.

Maybe 400/600 grit sandpaper would give a more uniform finish? 🤔

The material on your clutch pads is very soft it's not like you're trying to sand a block of wood You just want to take the shiny parts off of it so it's just like lay it down on a flat table swirl it around two or three times and you're done Bob's your uncle.

You want to make your discs so air can get in between them cuz when they wet with oil It can form a vacuum and they will stick together. Tiny bit uneven in spots or air can get in between there and separate them It will keep them from grabbing at like a stop sign or something along those lines It will break the vacuum.

Ha ha, they'd calmed down a bit by 1974, but mine is still thrilling and dangerous lol 😂 Thanks for watching the video 👍 Nice to hear from you in the USA.

Rather NHS than Bupa! 😉 Thanks for watching the video!

Tough to choose one. They were all immaculately restored examples 😍

2 stroke scooters and mini bikes are awesome!

👍 Thanks for watching the video! 😁

Thank you! And thanks for watching the video 👍 The bike has patina, but is far from being tatty. A nice condition rider!

Me too. Was there an episode last week? 🤔 Thanks for watching my video!

Yes, it's strange that the speedo fogs up like that under certain atmospheric conditions! 😉 Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks for watching 👍 It does sound a bit rough to be fair. First time I've heard of anyone doing that. 🤔

Lovely to hear from you all the way in Texas 😄🇺🇸 Yes, I remember that scene from the Terminator. Poor bike meets an unfortunate end though 😯 Good luck with getting your license!

Thank you. Thanks for watching the video 👍 There are aspects of maintenance where one has to pay close attention to detail 🤔

Thanks mate. And thanks for watching 👍

It was stuck on the back of the clutch plate prior to installation. Probably should have inverted the plate to show it was there. I also didn't mention the removal of the tacho cable prior to the clutch cover removal! 😂

Yes, a straightforward fix. Another solution is to fit thicker washers on the clutch plate bolts, so that the springs compress more, thus increasing the clamping force. Another suggestion was to replace the semi synthetic transmission oil with mineral oil. I didn't find out about this one until after the clutch work.

Perhaps just disconnect the pump . Leave the lines on ?.

Then I'd have to replace the oil pump gasket. Plus I wanted to disconnect the lines anyway to replace the aluminium banjo washers.

They do. Thanks for the comment and for watching 👍

The bike certainly seems to accelerate more strongly without the snorkel. 🤔

@@derekb2765 Having done a little research it seems the snorkel was fitted from 72-75 so all of 'em. it may be the effect of more noise perceived as more power. The transfer ports were lowered twice between those years which apparently is the biggest culprit as kawasaki sought to 'Smooth out the power'

It's mainly the fact that the clutch started slipping only after I removed the snorkel. 👍

Very true. My Honda CB750 is the same. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the comment 👍

Thanks for the comment. Glad you enjoyed the video. Amazing to hear you're still riding your original bike today. I have a '69 H1, and the clutch is rather heavy. Maybe it could do with an actuator upgrade. Cheers.

Thanks for the comment Edward. And thanks for watching 👍

It's definitely a 1974 H2B, but with a H2C tank, seat and colour. Check out my Walkaround video for further details 👍 Thanks for the comment, and for watching!

Thanks mate! Gosh, your rebore didn't come cheap! Mind you, Wossner pistons are supposed to be top quality. I got the remaining two cylinders of my S2A rebored, but unfortunately they came back slightly more than the max tolerance 🙄 I've rebuilt the engine, and it's running great - with no rattles! 👍

Cheers mate. And thanks for watching! 👍

That's the nice thing about working on motorcycles. A lot is achievable, one just needs a bit of confidence and patience. Thanks for watching! 👍

Cheers mate. Thanks for watching. And I still think your clutch lever is stiffer than mine! Ooer 😉

Hey, it was great to meet to you too mate. Really enjoyed the meet. Your bike sounds sweeet!

I've checked operation of the oil pump on a number of occasions, it's definitely working (see Stranded at the Roadside video). I believe the piston damage was due to an air leak, possibly through the barrel base gasket. 🤔

Ah, I've spotted the source of the confusion. The text about the CBX isn't the video description, it's a link to the CBX video. 👍 The actual description is viewable by clicking on the 3 dots in the top RH Corner, then select 'Description' from the menu.

I still think it sounds pretty awesome 👍

👍

So much cool stuff there! 😘

The music is from the all time classic N64 console game Goldeneye. Glad you're enjoying the videos. Many a time I've selected that ghost 6th gear lol 😂

It's a great place, so well worth a visit if you're in the neighbourhood 👍 I remembered Silver Dream Racer from my childhood, and was determined to use it in one of my vids! 😁

Indeed. Can't wait until its rebuild is finished! 😮

I am well thanks. Hopefully catch you there sometime 👍

Thank you. And thanks for watching 👍

Cheers sis! 👍

Thanks sis! My spoken German is improving. Sloooowly lol 😂
