Hey Spicy If you want to find all of the rust, you will have to remove absolutely everything from the frame. Rust will be hiding it those places you won't be able to check if you don't completely dismantle it. Good luck!
This is going to be a good series. I’m currently doing the same thing to my K6 GSX-R 600, it’s daunting at first but take it steady, organise the parts and fixings and it isn’t too bad. Definitely spray the frame yourself, I’m going to do mine. Love the work Spicy!
Tip for the front mudguard, 2000 grit wet sand, get the scratches smoothed out, then a decent plastic polish, and if possible, Pledge revive-it wood floor polish, although, a hard thing to find. Good luck!
I've literally just done the same to my DRZ, it rusted in the same places as yours. I cleaned it off and touched it up with matching colour - came up well! Looks like your a bit more thorough than me!
I'm gonna keep watching but it's in the DR family mate, she will keep going. My DR has rust on where the boot scuffs and on the neck where the cables rub. Been that way for years, all I've done is rub some candle wax on it once in a while and hasn't gone any further than that.
You should have seen my Drz 2008, she had about 45000km on it and people asked me all the time if i just bought the bike brandnew. She was looking perfect!
That is so true about riders looking for accessories for their bike, but only looking under "Honda" or "Suzuki" etc etc on websites. As there is sometimes a common assumption that for a Suzuki, Honda, Yamaha etc only their branded parts work or fit. Many many accessories are generic, and fit any bike. With 125's i think (might be wrong) that engine parts can even be interchanged. Not sure if the same for larger cc engines
Hahaha when you started it up.... I utterly freaked myself out when I managed to start my Ducati Sport Classic 1000 with 2 spark plugs removed.... didn't realise it had 4! :D
Buy a stainless steel Allen bolt kit or a shit load of standard size ones and replace each one as you go along. Then gradually maintenance will become easier to remove them without any worry of breaking.
As you were pulling panels off and discovering fortunately only surface rust on steel parts, I was idly wondering whether MOT inspectors might similarly discover some safety related horrors if curiosity got the better of them. Can they remove a panel or two if so concerned?
I believe they are not allowed to remove anything, this is why if you have a exhaust with race use only on people have been know to cover it with tape. If they can't see it technically they can pass it, but some would call you on that one I would guess haha.
I'm looking to get a lexmoto aspire 50cc for my first bike in a few months I've heard some bad things about lexmoto bikes. Does anyone have any good/bad experience with the lexmoto aspire or hunter?
Spicy you desperately need case cavers! They are the number one investment on a Drz! The rust is standard. I’ve stripped and touched up all the rust spots on mine two or three times now! The worst place on mine is on the frame under the engine! Make sure you check under there
Hi I've been watching you for couple months now and after all this virus stuff ends I'm looking at getting the lxr se lexmoto, what is you opinion on the make of the bike ?
Hiya mate. Have a question about a visor I have just bought and who better to ask than you! I have bought a mirrored visor for my shark helmet. Asin nobody can see through to my scrunched up face it’s just fully mirrored. Is this legal? Good video as always.
Last time I replaced my fuel lines one flicked up and a single drop of petrol came flying out and hit me straight in the eye and let me tell you.. that shit fucking hurts!
don't know what your financial situation is at the moment spicy but getting a frame powder coated is that expensive £80-£100 is what it cost me in the past if you go with standard-ish Colour
@@spicy110 I wasn't planning on stripping mine to tidy it up, but I knew at some point I wanted to refurbish my swingarm since I got the bike in 2018. I got some of the paint early last year, but I have no garage so been putting it off too.

Great video mate going to now watch the series, having bought a DRZ unseen I have a feeling your videos are going to come in handy lol.

I love watching these and the before and after, the improvements. Love it
I did exactly the same with my vfr as soon as lockdown started. Well worth doing and certainly shows a few hidden gremlins under the plastics.
Worth stripping like this once a year to acf all the frame joints, its kept the worst off my divvy for the last 20 years.
There is something I like about cleaning up the original fasteners and refitting.

Dam spicy I havnt seen your channel since the Sinnis days glad it popped up again

Im here again lol to rewatch the entire series :D
When you say you baby your bikes, you really do pamper them. Other than the rusting frame, everything is gold to me and I wouldn't even touch. aha

Love stuff like this. Looking forward to the next one 👍

Cool video Spcy

They don't need spark plugs! Who told you that? A spark plug sales man I bet 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@spicy110 :D it is a conspiracy :D
Fine sand the plastic and heat hung to shine, or gust heat gun be carefully with the gun. Or try a hairdryer. Old school style.
Love these videos!

Spicy it would be nice if you made a video cleaning the carb
The powder coat route would give you the longevity you're after, but that is a full strip down jobby..
Two part paint would work too without the full strip tease. Although it would be very hard to find a color match, two part paint is very very strong.
@@dirtydoigler2116 personally I would sooner use 2 pack for body work and powder coat for anything metal 🙂

Come on lad get an FCR39 on it 👌🏻
Oh that's weird I never knew the drz had oil in the frame

It's a DRZ....It's meant to be trashed about and scruffed.
Should see the state of my E.

I have a video on that called are mirrored visors legal. 👍 in short no but it's not that simple.
spicy110 cheers mate I shall have a look
Totally guilty of looking for those exact model handguards.
That’s such a tiny amount of rust I wouldn’t even worry about it. Will take ten years before it’s anything worth worrying about
Strangley i had to do something like that earlier.. Mine started without the tank on to.. You might be on to smething there ;) ;) lol.
Hey spicy, check out a recent FortNine video where he shows how to restore plastics just like yours!
Will do 👍
Agreed , he had an amazing result
When you said you had your hand up your bikes butt. I felt the urge to ask your "What's rong with de beast Mr Herriot?" #allCreaturesGreatAndSmall ;-P
Hahaha
That Wu-Tang though!!!!!!
Ayyy you are about the 5th ever to know what it is
Last time I replaced my fuel lines one flicked up and a single drop of petrol came flying out and hit me straight in the eye and let me tell you.. that shit fucking hurts!
Haha yep I have had it in my eye a couple of time over the years. 😆
Get Jake the garden snake to send you some plastics lol
Jake as looked in to it for me already, the postage makes it no cheaper and many panels would still be OEM.
@@spicy110 It was worth a try :)
This should be X rated. I mean Derek naked! Lol. (The bike by the way before the TH-cam people get upset)

ah now i get it the microphone is on your peek of the hat
Please use 3.9mm Japanese bullet connectors and not the standard red/blue/yellow ones. Those look tacky.
Seems we are all forced to do this kind of thing with our bike/channels right now, at least our bikes will be cleaner than they ever were going to be.
Haha yep. I have been planning this since Autumn 2019 but things always go in the way now...what else are you gonna do 😆👍

Jack Govier second

NSFW: Full frontal Derek nudity
.
Are you British or American you sound British but you said DR ZEE if your British you should know we say Zed , adjusting for the yanks are we.
It's getting hot in here so take off all your parts.
Derek is getting so hot, spicys taking all his parts off. 😂😂😂
Hahaha
Spicy: btw I've got my hand up Derek's butt.
My Dad: What are you watching?
Me: not male bonding.
😂😂😂
Too big a job for me Spicy 😱
