Fantastic video, did most of this to my 2005 Yellow DRZ400SM, but took me a year all standard parts bar the exhaust, smashing bikes, she is a keeper, 😂
@@1s-d012 thanks it turned our pretty well. The tool is a called a die, (tap and die) for creating threads in holes and on bars and stuff. You just have to make sure to get the right size for the hole or bar. And usual you can buy them individually or as a set. Hope this helps! 🤙🏼
Thanks, the stanchions were actually not too bad, the majority of the rust came away with a single edge blade then lightly sanded with some very fine wet and dry and plenty of polish. Just have to keep them clean and protected. If thet where worse I was. Planning to re coat the spots with a zinc battery by following other youtube videos but i think this time it was unnecessary. Thanks for watching!
Thanks! And Thanks for watching, it took a couple of hours every other Sunday for about a year, the drz was in pretty rough shape, some of the expenses included sending off the frame to be powder coated and there where a few new bolts, getting the fork seals replaced was expensive, we also had new spokes fitted to the re painted wheels, then there was the replacement parts like, oil filters, coolant, chain and sprockets that sort of thing. Overall it wasnt a money pit, I think it was all done reasonably budget friendly. I'm definitely pleased with how it turned out! 😄👍🏼
It is a orange scented cleaner that can be bough in arasol cans from wurth. Or in bigger containers like industrial cleaner, expensive stuff but it's good. Thanks for watching!
Sou do Brasil aqui esta moto e bem dificil de achar, apenas 5% de todas importadas tem licença para andar na rua os 95% so para trilha, sou o feliz proprietario de uma drz supermotard ano 2001!
I remember it being a right pain. What kind of bolt is it? There were so many difficult bolts and fasteners on this I can't remember specifically. Two occasions come to mind. I remember sacrificing a socket for one such difficult and rusty bolt. And hammering it on so it might never come off. And I also remember a tricky one that I think was the exhaust bolt and putting an alen key into it at a funny angle so I could remove it with a spanner looped on the end of it for some leverage. It is also an aftermarket exhaust so it's likely slightly different to the standard one. Thanks for watching!
Amazing transformation. It must be a unique feeling to ride something knowing every part in detail. Thanks for documenting the process.
It's certainly satisfying when it still works at the end of all that work! Thanks for watching!
This is so good to watch. you saved that bikes life! Holy moly it was neglected!
It was a very satisfying process. Thanks for watching! 😎
Good job!

Oh I like a yellow one, nice! They are good bikes. This one took at least a year also! But worth it 😎

Fantastic video. What's that amazing liquid you're using to clean everything? It does wonders!
Très bon travail 😊💪
Thank you! Thanks for watching!
Can you tell me please what products did you use to do this deep clean?
Insane transformation!! What tool did you use when you messed up the thread on the triple clamp?

Nice job . What do you do about the rust of the fork stanchions?

Nice! How long did this all take? Were there a lot of expenses? Great work!

What is the spray solution you are using to clean up the surface of aluminum parts with?

How did you take off the second bolt on the exhaust, I can’t find a angle
