Hopefully Del can pin this... Hi Delboy fans. It would be great if you could take a minute to nominate Delboy’s Garage for a TH-cam Streamys award here: www.streamys.org/fans/ Thanks, Everyone! -Gary
-respect & appreciation Del. my 16 year old blade is newly losing fluid here, thanks for giving me the info to attempt the job myself. let you know how I make out, i don't have those tipped pliers to set the holding ring but I'll order the refresh kit and try to fix the leak. Let ya know how I make out. Thank you again
Nice 1 del . Bike is on retest Tom (1400) was just new laws regarding rear indicators needing to be apart . So fitted some to the rear with resistors soldered heat shrink etc. Jobs a gooden . Love the videos ..
@Delboy's Garage think so buddy ..be good to ne back on the road tbh been to long. I'm awaiting a master cylonder kit but done it b4 . Not much to it obvs ..but ud put a new slave kit on her anyway .. running well ..now ty matey
@@Moonfleet41 No problem at all, you have so much material on here for Busa's its awesome, I know quite a bit but things I dont I turn to you lol, love your new shop it has turned out Great, take care and keep up the great work!!!
@@bobcascade523 Thanks Bob, actually on the move again lol Glad you enjoy the Busa series, still got the bike, it's absolutely bonkers and I love it, and there'll be a video coming up on the clutch mod once we're finialised the move!
It amazed me how much corrosion there was on that clutch master cylinder. I'm now contemplating doing mine. Yet again Del you have given us a master class my friend. I wish I could get my wife to do what yours does. 1st class camera work there Penny. All the best you two.
Incredible to me to see how every part of this motorcycle is in terrible disrepair. I guess it's just something I don't think about often because everyone I know takes such good care of their scooters. Really glad to see you resurrecting. Bravo. Keep up the good work.
Sure thing Mike, it's had a hard life that much is certain.. but its purely weather and corrosion based rather then engine wear.. all the bearings were just rusted and corroded rather then worn out... it's only done about 38k miles, so a great base for a Rat Rod project.. great mechanicals, and the rest is unimportant, is ill be changing the look entirely.. ..
top job del. here is my story, changed my brakefluid a good year ago. but lately the feeling of the brakelever was not right. felt notchy when pulling harder, took a good look a the fluidbottle it reads shell dot4 esl (esl stands for extended service life) suited for abs systems. got a 1998 fireblade and she is not liking it, that stuff is much thinner went back to regular dot 4 and all is fine now.
My favourite part of restoration! Love the feeling and handling of rebuilt master units. Well done, great description! I should have watched this playlist half a year earlier...
Great video mate. What you wrote on that wall is my story with me and my project zx9r. I'm very close to finishing her up and I was scared to even work on it at the beginning but now that it's coming to an end, I feel little sad that I wont be working on her. Great story brother. I cant thank you enough for your videos that have helped me through my journey.
Thanks brother, much appreciated... all of us know who've done projects what a life changing experience they can be, and that's both good and bad!... it's exciting starting off, it can be disappointing, depressing and downright enraging when you hit stupid problems along the way, but it's a journey as you know, and all great journeys are a little sad when they come to an end... good luck with yours, enjoy the big final day when it rolls out in to the sun, there's no moment like it when you can finally stand back and say 'it's finished'! Peace out brother.
You always have perfect timing with your videos... I just rebuilt the clutch master on the ol' Bandit, exactly the same part number for sure! I've always been made to think that rebuilding master cylinders was too difficult and not worth the time, that to replace it is easier. Instead, I found it not only simple but meditative as any other service. Now my master cylinder feels like new. Awesome video man! Job well done.
Thanks KQ, great to hear from you!... and glad the video helped you in some way. Love your Rat build antics and, of course, your groovy dancing! Keep making those cool videos, I follow every one!!
Just food for thought. Once you've got the tank off, is it worth doing a set of valve clearances and changing the spark plugs?? Might need to swing the rad down but one of those jobs that's sooooooo much easier to do with big things out the way. Would also be good to see a video on valve clearances and see what condition the engine is like under the rocker cover. As ever, all good stuff with the vids
Sure thing Tony, sadly they don't have the one I need, so gotta start shopping again, but we'll get there and they were very kind to refund for the one I didn't need!
Great series! Question, do you use JIS bits in your screwdriver or regular Phillips? Reason for asking is when I bought a set of three JIS screwdrivers my garagelife instantly improved. No more stripped heads on the screws on my Japanese bikes. Works a treat! 😄
JUST ordered a Set of JIS Screwdrivers to remove the screws on my Brake master Cylinder, you can tell if the Screw is JIS as there will be a small Dot next to the head of the Screw,also you can use JIS Screw driver headed driver bits on Philips headed Screw,but don't use Philips Bits on JIS screws as you will round out the head of the Screw and that's a Big Problem.
Terrific video, Del. You take the challenges thrown your way with such a great attitude! I’m enjoying this series very much. Just bought the wife a Vespa 300GTVie scooter. She flies! Now I have to sort out another Haynes manual! lol. Have a great week ahead, both of you! 🏍👍🏍
Thanks Gary, all projects are a stream of constant challenges and tasks aye, and if you can learn a bit along the way and enjoy the ride, that is worth all the head ache and drama dont you think!... Take care and have a great week.. Del.
It will be interesting to see the performance benefits from changing all these wear and tear items, like brake performance. That’s if you remember how it used to perform by the time you’ve finished this project, good work as always Del 👍🏻
Thank you Harold, glad you enjoyed it, maybe one to keep for the future if you ever need it.. Hope you're having a good weekend and enjoying the sunshine.
HELP PLEASE! I have a question maybe you can help. I have a 2002 Hayabusa and my clutch does not engage . I got a master cylinder rebuilt kit put on, a new slave cylinder and push rod and last changed the clutch line. I also been trying to bleed that line for a few day now but I think I got it. With all this still nothing, with the clutch cover off I notice barely any movement of the push rod on the pressure plate. Got any ideas of what could I take a look at next ?
I haven’t gone through all 126 comments so I apologize if this is a duplicate question. You used a “rubber grease” in this video. What brand and makeup is it. I noticed you used it on the inside seal which could crossover into the fluid. Can this contaminate the brake fluid? Or, is this of a composition that will not? Thanks for these videos. They are extremely helpful. Especially on my old GSXR.
Awesome video as always you make everything seem so easy🤗🤗🤗 I'm installing a new L shape cycle Vise for the front tire on my motorcycle lift. Penny and you Del ride safely and have a wonderful weekend.
@@Moonfleet41 I did a great job with the vise. And with the original device that came with the front wheel holder on the lift. I use it for the back tire and I don't have to strap down the motorcycle.Penny & You Del Ride Safely & Have A Wonderful Week.
Damn there’s always something that pops up to spoil your day, I know you’ll sort it though👍🏻 I always take that advice when I go out on the bike!! Hope you both have a great w/end.
Cheers buddy, not wrong there, but then modifying anything away from standard take ingenuity, patience and a resourceful mentality, there's always a way round things and it's the fun of the challenge!
Quick question Del, why do you use what looks like a VDE screwdriver for a lot of the prying/pushing of rubber parts etc. when a normal slotted screwdriver would have a thinner shaft and be just as effective? Is it a case of what's available? And an extra question, any preference between normal screwdrivers or ratchet? Never seen you use a ratchet?
Hi there, i have a few of those little VDE drivers scattered about, got them in a set of ten, and they're just what's handy to reach for at the time... and yes i have a couple of ratchet drivers, use them from time to time./ :-)
I wish I had $10 US every time you used that small wiha 3mm flat blade screw driver! Haha. That baby has been all over your bikes. I think I may need to get one. Mine is half the length of yours. ( That's what she said ) . Ride safe.
Hi Del, the oil cooler pipe you managed to fit was that the send or return pipe ? was just thinking the heat from that down pipe affecting the cooling, as you dont see the downpipes once fitted would you consider exhaust heat wrapping just to stop heat to the cooler pipes at all as they do look rather close :) ?
The pipe i have managed to fit so far is the feed pipe i believe, i guess the return pipe matters more, so once i get a union that i can connect it to, it is a lot longer that the feed pipe, so i will route it with as much air space around it as possible, and consider wrapping it too as that's good common sense... Thanks for the nudge mate, much appreciated... Del.
Hey Buddy nice work and a cracking quality video again . Much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻 btw just bagged a new guitarist so Springyandtheblokes version 917 about to launch ! Ha! .. Peace and love all round 👍🏻👍🏻☮☮❤❤
hey buddy, good to hear that, sounds like the band is going well and yer all having fun.. Always good to hear fro you bruv... have a great weekend.. D&Px
If you're referring to the pin that actuates the master cylinder, I'm sure you saw I filled the rubber boot up with rubber grease and as for the screws, they'll be replaced in the future before the bike goes on the road.
@@Moonfleet41 I've been restoring a kz550 and when i clean the bolts with the wire wheel they rust up in a day or two, any suggestion on how to stop the rusting?
Different ingredients as far as i know, old style rubber lube (from what i read) is a castor based oil thickened with clay... and silicone grease is the same idea if thickening oil with fillers so make a paste....so i guess you could say one is organic and the other synthetic... same result and same use though. both heat resistant and kind to rubber.
Top notch stuff. Loving the close up shots. I send parts back all the time. The trade do the same. As long as it hasn't been fitted or damaged, no problem.
Hi buddy, no it's not, if you look closely on the clutch master piston, it's got that strange socket arrangement on the end to accommodate the pin that holds the rubber boot and fits in to the lever, but on the brake side, the top of the piston is flat, and the casting of the brake lever pushes directly on it with no pin... and am not sure, as I didn't measure them, but it could be possible that the bore inside them could be fractionally different, but just order the right kit, they're about the same price as each other, about £20 from Wemoto.
(P) Eww crusty! She’ll feel a damn sight better now 😀 hope u both have a great weekend. Shame about the union but always remember there’s no such thing as a problem it’s just a challenge to overcome!
Hey @Moonfleet41 i have a question about a part im missing for my iron 883 part number is 41800317 its a hose for the rear brake the dealer where i live wants 200$ for it and another 200$ to put it on wich i think is absurd you have a good tip where i can buy these parts online im EU btw... sry for asking this here not sure if this is the right place :) thnx keep up the good vids!
Go to "Jersey Harley Davidson" website, and search that part number... it comes up as an ABS Brake Line Kit and costs £92.67 they can ship anywhere in Europe, and fitting will require specialist equipment to prime the ABS system, so maybe shop around, i can't help you with that, but there's the part for almost half your price.. .Hope that helps... Good luck..
Hi mate, you need a bit more investigation that 'start motor problem', have you isolated it specifically to the starter? Remember, there are many things that affect the starter, side stand switch, clutch switch, kill switch, are they all healthy? What is the exact problem with the starter? Is it spinning freely every time if you power it up off the bike? Before you starting ripping it apart, or thinking of replacing it, then it's sensible to ascertain first, that the starter alone is the problem! Check all the other stuff first, process of elimination and all that mate...
Awight Del and Pen, You’ve heard of food porn, well this was the ultimate garage porn. The attention to detail on your camera shots, angles and edits made this so satisfying to watch. Was that Penny at 4:38 ? Lol Thanks for the upload, she’s coming along nicely!!!!
Hey there Dai, great to hear from you buddy.. Yeah Penny's always in the background keeping an eye and making me work harder, you know how they are..lol.. Thanks for your really kind words Brother, we're glad you enjoyed it.. Have a great weekend, and hope to see you before the summer runs out.. D&Px
Nice straightforward video Del it’s why I was drawn to your videos when you were working on a Triumph Tiger which is one of my bikes I own, good straightforwardly videos. But when I look at this video on this old Superbike that you’re working on it does worry me that people would own/ride them without doing simple maintenance. The state of that pistons when you pulled it out of that reservoir and earlier the brake reservoir is unacceptable. And to think someone would ride such a bike while not even maintain it is sad. Where did the idea that looking after a bike is just exciting as riding them ? Hope you both have a wonderful weekend.
Hi buddy, I really don't think that there is anybody to be blamed for anything here, this Suzuki is just a tired ol' girl that's done a lot of work in a lot of bad weather, the weather eats everything, and you're constantly fighting the elements... plus, it's 20yrs old! Two decades can do a lot of damage to a bike, I think we get lulled in to the belief that bike's don't wear, or corrode, but that's largely cos they don't get used... think in comparison to cars, the average car does, perhaps, 15-20k miles a year, most bikes don't do that in 10yrs, but this one has done 40oddk miles, it just seems all of it was in bad weather lol and not much cleaning went on!! Perhaps it was a computer that lived outside, ask anyone who lives in London and commutes, that's just life... but am confident in the bike as it's low mileage and a bomb proof engine... all that you're seeing here is just weather decay and I'm eliminating that as I go! Hopefully we can spread a little confidence with these videos that however bad it is, you can bring it back!
Moonfleet41 fair point Del... But a little love and care and a caring eye can maintain a bike for decades.. and that’s even more important if I am sitting on it!
@@terryblack2219 Totally agree mate, 'little and often' is far better than a full re-build when it gets as bad as this!... you're right, it never needs to get this bad!
Hopefully Del can pin this...

Go to "Jersey Harley Davidson" website, and search that part number... it comes up as an ABS Brake Line Kit and costs £92.67 they can ship anywhere in Europe, and fitting will require specialist equipment to prime the ABS system, so maybe shop around, i can't help you with that, but there's the part for almost half your price.. .Hope that helps... Good luck..
@@Moonfleet41 Thnx for the answers man ill do a little more research and see!
Good vid again bud,ive got a starter motor problem i think its the bushes but what would you do replace bushes or get a new motor???
Hi mate, you need a bit more investigation that 'start motor problem', have you isolated it specifically to the starter? Remember, there are many things that affect the starter, side stand switch, clutch switch, kill switch, are they all healthy? What is the exact problem with the starter? Is it spinning freely every time if you power it up off the bike? Before you starting ripping it apart, or thinking of replacing it, then it's sensible to ascertain first, that the starter alone is the problem! Check all the other stuff first, process of elimination and all that mate...
@@Moonfleet41 thanks mate ill check around first but it was turning over a little just not fireing up right
👍👍👍.
Awight Del and Pen, You’ve heard of food porn, well this was the ultimate garage porn. The attention to detail on your camera shots, angles and edits made this so satisfying to watch. Was that Penny at 4:38 ? Lol
Thanks for the upload, she’s coming along nicely!!!!
Hey there Dai, great to hear from you buddy.. Yeah Penny's always in the background keeping an eye and making me work harder, you know how they are..lol.. Thanks for your really kind words Brother, we're glad you enjoyed it.. Have a great weekend, and hope to see you before the summer runs out.. D&Px
If you listen carefully to some of our videos too, you can sometimes here Ariuna in the background, usually saying “go”. Ha
See you soon mate
@@CookingwithChefDai ha ha, yeah, always got to doff cap to the creative director aye..!
Nice straightforward video Del it’s why I was drawn to your videos when you were working on a Triumph Tiger which is one of my bikes I own, good straightforwardly videos. But when I look at this video on this old Superbike that you’re working on it does worry me that people would own/ride them without doing simple maintenance. The state of that pistons when you pulled it out of that reservoir and earlier the brake reservoir is unacceptable. And to think someone would ride such a bike while not even maintain it is sad. Where did the idea that looking after a bike is just exciting as riding them ? Hope you both have a wonderful weekend.
Hi buddy, I really don't think that there is anybody to be blamed for anything here, this Suzuki is just a tired ol' girl that's done a lot of work in a lot of bad weather, the weather eats everything, and you're constantly fighting the elements... plus, it's 20yrs old! Two decades can do a lot of damage to a bike, I think we get lulled in to the belief that bike's don't wear, or corrode, but that's largely cos they don't get used... think in comparison to cars, the average car does, perhaps, 15-20k miles a year, most bikes don't do that in 10yrs, but this one has done 40oddk miles, it just seems all of it was in bad weather lol and not much cleaning went on!! Perhaps it was a computer that lived outside, ask anyone who lives in London and commutes, that's just life... but am confident in the bike as it's low mileage and a bomb proof engine... all that you're seeing here is just weather decay and I'm eliminating that as I go!
Hopefully we can spread a little confidence with these videos that however bad it is, you can bring it back!
Moonfleet41 fair point Del...
But a little love and care and a caring eye can maintain a bike for decades.. and that’s even more important if I am sitting on it!
@@terryblack2219 Totally agree mate, 'little and often' is far better than a full re-build when it gets as bad as this!... you're right, it never needs to get this bad!
Last time I saw that many close-ups of lubed, rubbery objects, I was visiting a very different sort of video-streaming-site... ;)
Please stop using gloves when cleaning stuff on a wheel (or using any other machine) if they'll get caught you will have a bad time
