Thank you very much . I think you will like your 24 year old Bandit .They are such solid machines and can still look really nice even when compared to modern bikes . Cheers
Now this was an epic video! 😂 You did everything 💯% correct. Folks should follow the manual, and they're golden. I loved the production value on this one. Fantastic job!
Hey Eric thank you very much .I always look forward to your comments, as you are a straight shooter and pull no punches .Using you as a barometer gives me real good feel as to where a particular video stands .I genuinely appreciate you. Cheers my friend. 🍻
Man. Great video. One thing I’ve learned, when you put yourself on the internet for every yahoo to watch, you’ll always have people who have something to say. Your knowledge and instruction is valuable! Also, that Suzuki is clean! And lastly, I like aluminum foil instead of the pig mat. It will form to anything, it’s cheaper, and you can make your own funnel with it. Keep the great vids coming! Cheers. 🍻
Thank you very much, I genuinely appreciate you .If anyone understands the game, it's you for sure .With a much larger channel like yours and the amount of information you put out there, the negative comments must be ridiculous. Great tip with using aluminum foil .I was able to buy one of those rollable green funnels you gave me a link to but for some reason I totally forgot I had the thing and just resorted to what I typically use ...im such an idiot..oh well, next time. Thanks again, cheers, my friend 🍻
Ha ha ha ,Thanks Kev .It was a fun one to cobble together . Having some extra threads of motivation certainly provided power to push through the process. No master here buddy ,just TRy'an to learn the ropes like everyone else in the game .Cheers my friend
@@TRyanLearnBikes I watched it over again a few times. I am trying to lay out my trip video I AM NOT GOING TO RUSH THIS. Lesson one from you. I went through every bit of video and I am going to lay this one out on paper and do it right. Hopefully, I won't have to rip every page out of the editing book. Thanks for the inspiration. Great Video!
@Supermankev2001 Good idea Kev ,All the pro guys seem to say the same thing .Get organized, have a plan and take your time . Let the creative juices flow ,you are a natural story teller with a fantastic voice so you're already half done .Looking forward to the premiere showing. Cheers buddy 🍻
@@TRyanLearnBikes I will Have it out Thursday. I shared a couple of your videos with one of the riders from the trip that make crazy well-edited videos like you.
@Supermankev2001 Excellent, Thursday it is ,genuinely looking forward to your post .Also thanks very much for your continued support. Sharing my content with others is such a generous act .Cheers to you my friend 🍻
Great video!!!! I love how everyone is a mechanic and just ignores the manufacturers instructions. On my 2018 Honda Goldwing, the manufacturer recommends 87 octane gas and conventional oil. So I use 87 octane and non-synthetic oil. OMG. You would have thought that I kidnapped babies from the hospital the way I was crucified. Great video and camera angles!! Ride safe.
Thanks Craig...so you definitely know what I mean . Seems like some guys think the manual is just a suggestion, and you should do whatever you feel like .You've got to have a thick skin in the TH-cam game, that's for sure .Thanks again. Ride safe too .Cheers
Mate, these morons on the internet are the reason so many second hand bikes (and cars) come with a boat load of problems. This video needs to be shown in schools so maybe the next generation can get it right.
Hi Leonid ,Thanks very much for your great comment .It is astounding to me to think that the troll comments were actually genuine .Like you mentioned, it is likely the reason so many vehicles out there have issues . I truely appreciate you taking the time to watch and respond .Cheers to you good sir .
Thank you very much, Svendus .Oh yes pdf format manuals are a must .Although there's nothing like a hard copy to thumb through and add notes into ...oh and of course rip out all of the pages of wrong information..lol.
my 85 GS550EF lost the drain plug on the highway, and all the oil. probably from over torquing it into the soft aluminum belly of that engine. lesson learned the hard way...
@rickc2222 Oh damn ! That is the definition of learning the hard way .Could have been catastrophic for both you and the bike .....so how'd in end up ....I know you're still alive but did the bike survive ?.
@@TRyanLearnBikes Ok so this was around 1993-1994... I actually had sold the bike and was on my way to meet halfway to deliver to seller! he was coming from Saskatchewan and me from Central Alberta (i'd owned it 3 yrs - was my first big bike I got at 16). oil pressure light went on and pulled over right away. girlfriend was following me in my car so I wasnt stranded. found an auto parts store that was still open (early evening) in a local small town. he fetched me a tapered bolt that happened to work perfect for cutting new threads and plugging the drain! filled with new oil and she ran fine. I got lucky. got a motel for the night and drove all the way to saskatoon next day as buyer was still willing to buy the bike after me telling the honest truth about the ordeal...crazy, but i was so relieved it all worked out. He rode it a few years and i recently saw my old bike for sale in Edmonton on Facebook marketplace! (had a one of a kind custom paint job).
Thank you very much. It's really great to hear from a fellow rider in Poland. I truly appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. Cheers to you my friend 🍻
Well… well… Firstly I always put a new seal on my Bandit’s drain plug. They are £3.00. That is less than a bag of salted peanuts. I only need one seal a year. So less than 1p a day. False economy not to use a new one, if you ask me. How tight to do it up? I service several cars a month (a steel drain plug into an aluminium pan is a drain plug!) and I when I have to use a breaker-bar to undo the drain plug I know the last person who did it up was a moron. I tried an air-impact driver on a sump plug once. In the end I took the sump/oil pan off, binned it, plug still in it, and fitted a new oil pan. The Incredible Hulk did it up. I had to deal with his green mean over-tightening. . And probably cross threaded. Not me paying, not me who ducked it up last time . . . It’s a crush washer, do it up till you feel slight resistance, then do it up till it stops (crushed) Using a 1/4 inch ratchet, about 3 inches long, with one hand, gently. Once it stops about 1/32 of a turn more. If that. Bit of metal on the magnet? I replaced my non magnetic one with a magnetic one, on my 1998 SGF600. It always has a little bit of fluff on it. This seems normal. I drooped a sump plug into the oil drained out of a car once, so used a magnet to fish it back out. I found the plug, a small hedgehog’s worth of fluff, and about half an oil control ring, in 5mm long bits. That is when you have to worry about bits in the oil when the bits look like important bits, that should not be there. I took the sump off, and found most of the parts of a single pistons oil control rings. Car got scrapped. I use genuine Suzuki filters, they are not that expensive in the grand scheme of expenses when running a 26 year old motorcycle.
This is an excellent comment. It sounds like you know what your talking about and can back it up with experience. I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts .It's a refreshing change to get legitimate insight instead of hot air like a lot of comments I get .Cheers to you good sir 🍺
The FSM states to never tighten the oil filter by hand, it also says once the filter gasket is touching the block to tighten it two full rotations after that. Stop following the Haynes manual, get a factory service manual.
Ok well thats interesting for sure .Firstly, there are instructions regarding filter installation printed directly on the K&N filters that I like to use .Which Is quite different than the FSM recommendations you are quoting.And secondly I do have a factory manual, and all of the recommendations I spoke of in the video are identical to the ones in the Haynes manual .So I'm not sure what to tell you, good sir .I guess just do what you think is right for you .Thanks for watching and taking the time to offer your opinion. It's always a pleasure to hear what's out there .Even if it doesn't align with the general consensus.
@williamfoster4268 Ahh ...perfect man ,,, I love it ..ya just never know where peoples heads are at sometimes .And I don't want to judge.But sometimes the comments are so bizzare...as you saw ..
