Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R 2022
Today we're doing an intermediate service on the legendary Suzuki Hayabusa while I share some thoughts on some of the silly questions we get asked.
I have mixed emotions about this bike because I can concede that it is a better bike than the Honda Blackbird but I can't bring myself to like it more.
My sentimentality comes through and while personal feelings do not affect the outcome of a service, i can't help but reflect on my own bike and the one that took it down.
So i really hope you enjoy

Ducati Monster 800 on the road again
มุมมอง 659หลายเดือนก่อน
No big project here today. Just a nice quick resurrection of a little black monster that had been dormant for 4 years. needed a fuel pump, a new battery, a little bit of attention and a lot of love. So that's what we gave it. I usually narrate some introspective questions, but this time I couldn't think of anything to write so I just said what I saw like the good old days of the earlier videos....
Honda VFR800 resurrection

Today we had the opportunity to restore this Sports Touring icon to more than it's former glory. The bike was sat for an extremely long period without being used. and the inside of the fuel tank was quite scary, so the bike received the full treatment. It got totally new suspensions and a full combined brake hose kit, with all the brakes fully overhauled. some other minor trick bits at the cust...

This bike is a beautiful representation of the way humans interact with technology. It's a 2002 Honda CBR954 that came in for a service with 60K on the odometer. It wasn't quite running right and needed a rebuild to bring it back to its former glory. So there's no disassembly in this video because the bike was already worked on before we decided to rebuild it. But we do get to see a bike appear...

Ducati ST4S Shifty business
มุมมอง 9Kปีที่แล้ว
Today we're fixing a 2003 Ducati ST4S with shifting trouble. This happens to a lot of bikes when an internal spring breaks on the selector mechanism. The result is that you can only select gears one way and not the other. This particular bike has had a very expensive history but the owner dearly loves it and so do we. Luckily today's job was only a minor repair. But as the sped-up and edited vi...

Servicing a GSX1400, a regular day at Flywheels

Instead of a video about a full custom project from start to finish, I've been asked what a regular day here looks like. So here you go. Some nice trick bits going on a Ducati monster and a nice Suzuki gets some maintenance. Hope you enjoy.
Honda Firestorm Project - Part 1
มุมมอง 14K2 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a 2002 Honda VTR1000F Firestorm. The owner had big plans for it a few years ago so gave it to a mechanic who gave up half way. So the bike sat in his storage for around 5 years in a disassembled state. The time has come to do something with it. This is not a full restoration, the goal for this part 1 video is to fix all the problems, add a few trick bits (sprockets, braided lines, reser...
Oil Filter Crushing... how we save the planet one filter at a time.

    This video was somehow recommended to me by YT. I watched it all and i must say that it's probably one of the most bizarre videos i saw in 2024 and the year has nearly ended so trophy for the channel for great achievement in that respect.🏆 Looking at the title of the vid i wrongly assumed that i'll see something interesting, intriguing or new about 3rd gen Busa but instead i saw a basic bike service accompanied by commentary about dumb questions from workshop's customers. You really got me duped by this somewhat inadequate title of the vid. I'm kinda annoyed really.. Few things to say though: 1-Asking a "service technician" what he(or she) rides is a perfectly good question. I'd want to ask this just out of curiosity or to spark a conversation. Absolutely nothing odd or weird about that in my personal view. I'd ask a dentist what paste they use, again pure curiosity. 2-Some of your customers are indeed dim. Especially the one who pays money for changing fluids and filters on such "covered " and known bike like Busa. It's mind boggling that people can be so inept that lubing the chain or changing oil is commissioned to a workshop.. 3- I mindfully mentioned "service technician" term as all i saw in this vid is basic service. Being a mechanic is ability to work on much more involved stuff. It's a sad reality that real mechanics who tear down vehicles to pieces and fix serious issues get confused with service technicians who change brake pads and spark plugs.. It's like putting a brain surgeon in the same league as a nurse. I hope you are a mechanic, i just didn't see much mechanics in this videos. Regards

    Why does the lower cover have that extra bit of plastic?

    • @flywheelsmotorcycles
      @flywheelsmotorcycles หลายเดือนก่อน

      lower cover? you mean fairing? you mean the belly pan? Or are you talking about the front cylinder's timing belt cover with the extra air intake at 4:35 ? If so it's purely for ventilation, it might help the belts keep cool and certainly help removes any debris, but seriously doubt it does anything to air-cool the engine considering the cylinders are water cooled. And don't worry about debris getting in, they've got a pretty decent filter at the front. great question BTW, if you notice the slats at the back of the rear cylinder's timing belt cover, that's the exhaust. if you have air going in, you gotta have air going out somewhere

    Hey man love the videos!! I have a Ducati monster 750 torn apart hasn’t started in years I lapped the valves and they seat well with no water leakage but when I put them into the shim and rockers the one side leaks and doesn’t sit far enough down in any position does this mean my shins are too big and need adjusted

    • @flywheelsmotorcycles
      @flywheelsmotorcycles หลายเดือนก่อน

      a good indicator if the closing shim is too big is if there is too much drag on the camshaft when it rotates against the closing rockers. If you think the opening shims are too big you can take them out and still check the closers without the openers in. also if the opening shims are too big there won't be any clearance.
