"They all do that Sir". Change the best oil you can buy every [very few] hundred miles and allow them to warm up . That's all you can do. They eat cams and cam journals. The engine is a stretched Z200 so it's already at it's design limits, or perhaps slightly past them........

5:40 that's the bridge that Dude tried to throw a Body in a Suitcase off! Eh? Some fucked up people around, just chill and think for a minute, is what you're doing right? A useful occupation, is it helping any of your family? Well just stop. That guy could have dropped those bags and walked away and said "anything is better than this ,I don't need to go through with that sh*t*" Get washed and start from scratch. No drugs. No alcohol. No junkies and no alcies.Get to🤣😂😂

I need a camshaft for Kawasaki kl/ agi 250 or complete cylinder head

Would you say its a great beginner bike to do some green lanes and lets say 70% on road?

It's great to see one on the road, i have a 1981 Montesa cota 248 that i ride trials on and have managed to register and plan to ride on the road so good to see what I'm in for.

anything chinese i buy, i pull it apart and inspect it. Because the cheaper parts lack quality check standards. if you had've tore it down first, you could've made a cheap simple spacer for $1 which would've worked perfectly.

Hint - after 20 years of searching ... cant find a zero turbulence without a see through barn door. Best option is to get the turbulent air to your neck. No head bobble (when its on your face) and not the square footage for drag( hitting your chest). Sometimes its best to lower your screen rather than raise it. Plus, the shild that fits under your helmet to limit air INSIDE the helmet.

lovely tank , they were for the sherpa model i believe

No need to apologise for the rant! 🙂 I have heard of some motorvloggers that are moving away from Go Pro due to 'freezing' issues especially when they are left to run for long periods. I also watch vloggers that have had no problems with Go Pro and continue to use them without any issue. 🤔Have to say I recorded my first tour in Spain on a (Chinese) TCL SVC 200 that ran all day in 30'C and never missed a beat. Tell 'Mandy' I said 'Hi' the next time you speak. 👍

Nice bike....how are the brakes.!?

Do all GTVs and Spiders have a galvanised chassis? I couldn't quite understand your comments about that on the video and would definitely prefer to have one of the galvanised ones. I had a few Alfas in the '80s and '90s including Alfetta GTV6 and I hope to return to Alfas again, I miss that Alfa brio!

I got the year 2000 blue 1.8 twin spark with the fiber cloth interior, I like it a lot but I've found a whole black leather package for a nice price, I'm 50/50 on this

Very prone to rust - buyers beware!

Great channel. Just discovered it as I'm looking for an F650gs. Seeing one tomorrow actually with 50k miles. You've got a new sub, from just up the M5 in Worcester. I also had the RYD, but as it reached 5 years old, replaced with the NXR2 and found it to be quieter. Good tip on the screen and fuel pump though! Brilliant presenting style!

How did you make those great tintin pictures?

If your old hub is aluminum you could have some one weld it and drill a new hole for your spoke.

Hi could you please let me know the make of your alloy Sat nav bracket please

Did you just get overtaken by a pushbike!😂

Just bought a 2.0 TS Lusso and this video helped convince me to buy it

Unusual surname, don’t suppose your Dad is Geoff by any chance

Hi Alex is the old girl for sale then? Great vid. Mick

Hi Alex. Could you tell me how tall are you? I'm planning to buy one of these, but I'm worried about touching the top with my head. I'm 6ft 2in. Thanks.

Why would anyone want to go to this godforsaken horror?

I bought this same bike aboit s year ago, i just started working on it, any way i van get some advice for this bike?

Hi Alex, nice video. I’ve got one of these bikes and love it. Would you consider selling your tobinators (screen adjuators) to me? I’ve been looking for a set for ages! Thanks, Will

Sad to see you let this one go. My favourite generation of GS

Those are air pipes lol

Ive always bought mine from the pet shop, fush pump pipe is the best out there. I'm sure it's silicone too

Looks like vacuum line

Had the same thing with some I bought at one of the shows a couple years back. It just went hard and broke within a couple months

I had the same issues on my Triumph Scrambler. I bought several screens, short, tall, even some extenders. I bought a new helmet, custom made earplugs, nothing worked. Until I started to put more effort into “scientific” investigation of the noise sources. I found that the main source of the wind turbulence hitting my helmet was actually caused by the OEM mirrors. I also removed the screens, so I ended up with no screen, and bar end mirrors! Now I have silent ride, with the downside of massive wind pressure on my chest. That doesn’t bother me though, but the noise!

The yellow wire is for the lights, the green is ground, it appears you have grounded the yellow wire at the coil and the ground wire you have inserted into the connector block. This is a problem. Another problem is that you are trying to run trail bikes on the street, this is dangerous on an Alpina because they are unstable at over 50 mph.

This is the best vlog of a Morocco motorcycle trip love it lads

Top vid lads and refreshing to see your on the right kind of bike for the job

If a 'nice and friendly' Polceman tells you the nearest petrol is 'That way' It's usually best to listen...🤣 Looks like you guys had quite an adventure! Good call on heading back to the main road...👍 (Apologies, I'm late, I've not been watching much YT lately)

top speed by curiosity?

This is a really helpful video, thank you! What gear did you find yourself in most of the time on the first and second green lanes? It seemed like first gear would tractor you along just fine all the way up to 20 mph, yes?

Scrap the Amal .

It’s like waiting for the new series of top gear!!!!! Keep them coming

Hi Alex new subscriber here. Enjoying the vids mate. I’m a Black Country lad too. I had a question if you can offer advice. I change my bike a lot, currently on a classic 350 but previously had adventure bikes. Short version I want one back but can only spend 2.5k. Any ideas what’s reliable cheap and lightish 80/20 on road /off road. I found you as I was thinking 650gs but then saw you swapped it. 😂

So much crap out there, have been let down too many times with it

Thats a very rare bike! Try John Oldfield in Southampton for parts..............he has been a Honda parts dealer since 1964, and might have some things in stock for it.

Looks a great project Alex, look forward to seeing it come together. The 175 twin is a fab engine

Do your self a favor, replace the fuel filler hose with one that is as long as will fit and fit the hose clamps close to the ends. The reason for this is if you are hit from the side the petrol tank will move causing the short hose to detach causing fuel to spill into the cab. I personally watched a man burn to death for this reason. The longer the hose the more movement can happen before the hose detaches.

americans made some great (looking) cars in the past #MakeAmericanCarsGreatAgain

so, what happened?

Did you have any concerns about a wheel off-set? Perhaps not, but on some bikes the hub is not central in the rim depending on brake and drive arrangements. Don't ask me how I know 🙄

You wanna watch that clutch. Don't burn it out.

Check out this one owner 1974 GTV 2000 on my page.

Hi Alex, nice work, well done in getting her done. I just finished a Z200, lovely little bikes
