He might not have needed to pull the bottom end apart but I'm glad he did. Definitely learned a lot of how the bottom end of a bike works.
exactly.... i just screamed he should do it because i knew how awesome and knowlegdable the resulting video would be...and it sure as hell was
Not only that, if it's not your engine I'd imagine it would be safer than sorry to do a full breakdown. Doesn't hurt to have full confidence in the state of the engine
He found a couple of loose bolts
Its rare to get a youtube channel thats enjoyable to watch and also takes time to thoroughly explain things. I get some Mustie1 vibes from this channel.
@_Shinasu he had full confidence. A little ware on the bearing was absolutely no issue but replace since it's open.
I love the way Craig explains everything. I've been riding and repairing my own bikes for almost 30 years and I can always learn more from Craig's explanations! Keep up the great videos gentlemen!
With detailed explanations come little questions and even less doubt.
It's about 45 years for me, I wish they had TH-cam in 79 when I started riding & taking motorbikes apart 😂
@@rickburnout666nebylo potřeba TH-cam,lidé k sobě měli blíž sdíleli si zkušenosti a fungovalo to taky minimálně u nás v Československu 👍☝️😉
@frantisekkmotrik5063 It probably wouldn't have been so good back then, we only had a black and white TV and I was the remote control 😂
Craig is a master builder in the most practical sense. Any can fully trust hit with a motor repair. He explains thing so clearly, it sounded simple but the amount of work is not to be underestimated. Great work.
There is a reason why everybody needs a Craig! If he says the bottom of the engine doesn't need to come apart I believe him.
He does seem trustworthy. He won't try to sell you blinker fluid or something like that.
Then you're dumb.
Craig you would be the ideal high school automotive teacher. The attention to detail and explaining every little thing is priceless.
I think "dad" wanted that engine overhauled so that he would be getting a very reliable birthday gift!
I mean, who wouldn't want a chance at a turbo Hayabusa for birthday?
Is "dad" yammy noob?
@@williamcolon5393 Good ol' Papa Yams
@@VroomNDoom2602😂
If my bottom end needed tearing apart I’d call Craig.
😂😂😂😂
I see what you did there,...very kinky indeed.
Yuck 🤢
Bruh stop making stupid comments on this channel atleast 😐
Phrasing?
I laughed out loud at 7:40 when Craig was talking about prying.
I had an aircraft tech rep years ago whose favorite saying was "Resist the urge to pry".
When he said "don't pry they give you these lips" The cover is still on when the camera cuts away. Next shot the cover is in his hands. The question is, what happend in between :P
@@Odder-Being he used the lip...
I can't believe people question this man, he obviously knows what he's doing, very experienced mechanic and doesn't need telling how to do his job especially with 30+ years experience,full of motorcycle knowledge and I'm always learning by watching him, explains things very clearly. Thanks bearded mechanic.
He tends to cut corners alot, trust me every professional would have taken that bottom end apart without question. Plus he admitted he didnt like how the crankbearings look so changing them was good even if he doesnt like to admit it
@@paladinfalke4926Example?
@@paladinfalke4926I would love to see some of yall “mechanics” do work & record & upload here. & really see if guys are as professional as yall sound😂 & can take on people telling you what to do
@@Q.7he gave one.
@@hoodedgood No he didn't.
Such a humble mechanic, please continue doing what you do!
I don't think you know the definition of humble.
He was bragging how good he was and knew more than everyone throughout the whole video.
Ooh! That was some fine video editing when Craig took the clutch bolts out. ,,,right with the fine guitar pickin'. I'm entertained!!!
That was GREAT! I grew up with gear heads (dad, two brothers), but I didn't get that gene....I know how an engine works but it was fantastic to see you walk through it in real detail....and with such good humor. Thanks.
A notebook and pen in shirt pocket is handy to make notes when pulling things complicated apart, to have instructions when putting back together, especially for bad memory abilities.
A TH-cam video can also help. ;)
I personally take pictures.. lots of pictures
thats what the youtube video is for.
And also 20 years of experience from what he said at the beginning of the video. That also helps.
@@bryanjessdenio1292 Definitely this! I even have a separate phone with an ok camera just for that purpose.
We have phones with cameras for that since.. oh.... 2010ish.
Inspired me to buy a 1989 k100 sitting since 2012. Love this channel
Now that’s dedication to the fans and your dad, taking it appart when you don’t want to, and we’re glad that you did, super interesting! Can’t wait to see the rest
ive been working on Motorcycles and small engines for years. i love how you explain everything and take everything apart in order
Thanks for the tour of the Busa internals. I've done quite a few bike engines, but not one of these.
I only discovered and started binge watching you last week, when I was stuck in bed being ill. This is my first update as a subscriber and I was excited to see it drop. Love your work, cheers from the UK
I envy you for being able to binge it all, now you gotta wait with us!
I discovered this channel by accident. I am not particularly interested in motorcycles, but I am fascinated by the mechanical work, the explanations, and the overall approach to problem-solving. Any mechanic could learn from this channel. I have definitely subscribed!
Hands down best motorcycle youtube channel. Craig and Dan commentary is on point
I've been watching you fixing bikes for a while now, and I feel I must say you make motorbike mechanics interesting, I can't begin to understand half of what you say after ,but at the time I understand what you mean ....sign of a good teacher 😊thanks for all of your videos ,keep them coming 😊
Hello Bearded Mechanic Family all the way from belgium, have a very nice weekend
Home of thee waffle. No.
Hey Urbanuske wha doeede gij hier met oewh cecemel on de rocks ? 😜🤣 groeten van dees kaaskop uit holland
Greetings from Austria ✌️
As a retired mechanic, I learned a long, long time ago to never second-guess or nit pick another mechanic. What goes around comes around. Learned that almost 40 years ago as an 18 yr-old nube who thought he knew everything.
This is very true. Though nower days everyone's a critic
If someone isn't willing to take criticism, that's not a personality trait to emulate.
Great video - loved the procrastination counter reappearing 🤣
One of the hazards about being careful about remembering how it came apart, is an assumption that the last guy to work on it knew what he was doing!
Got my GSF1200 engine apart completely since a few months now...but I think I get it all together again, it's not that hard to be honest, if you pulled it apart by yourself, my car engine was apart for over two years, put it all together with stronger new parts and didn't need to think a second longer when putting it together...but if someone else tears something apart and you need to put it together, it can get hard, especially if you never ever does something like that^^
tl;dr: Looks difficult, if you never done it before
Very true. Worth double checking in the manual.
I look at it like this. If an engine had something like this happen to it, it is always best to tear it down and know it is good rather than hope its good.
Not a mechanic but love this breakdown/explanation of how the engine works. I am new to the channel and love your excitement every time you get a bike to run like it’s your first. Thanks guys 👍
A master class in motorcycle engine teardown...with absolutely engaging explanation and commentary. Translated, Craig and Dan are awesome (even Greg)! Go Bearded Mechanic, keep moving forward!
The coating is made out of graphite and other dry lubricant materials.
It is not for heat transfer.
This coating usually helps lubricate the engine during the first start after reassembly.
Thanks Y'all. I spent my working life as a automotive technician but I don't do bikes other than fluids and brakes...very basics!
This is absolutely my favorite channel that I am subscribed too. Dan cracks me up and your knowledge of motorcycles is very impressive. I also love your personality Craig. GOD BLESS!! Would be cool to meet you someday.
That gear indicator is like the Tormat system in an old jukebox. It's how records were selected by the mechanism.
That is usually broken too. Mine was aswell.
The piston coating is for lubricantation and break in, if it was a heat coating it would be on the top, not on the skirts.
Started watching your channel and im absolutely hooked best TH-camr for me 2024 keep it going man...
I don't even own a motorcycle but I really enjoy watching you work on bikes
Thanks!
you will end up owning, atleast one. trust me.
If you ever take the plunge, buy a working bike first, then buy a project bike second lol
@@nshaw-ly4yb thats a solid piece of advice. You always need to have a daily rider. Good thing with bikes is that you can have many. Instead of one car, you can have 3-4 bikes. 👍🏻
Hands down the best MC Mechanic out there!! Learn something every time. Have an '02 Busa myself. Everyone needs a Craig!!!
Love how craig explains and show us how to tear apart engines and restoring bikes! Looking forward to all videos coming out
Ahhhhh yes you call from dad, changes everything 😅 This is not about the bottom end, this is about a son saying seeee I told you so😂
I just want an episode of bearded mechanic vs armchair mechanics lol
Also I have found as soon as I put the offer for someone to come do it themselves they go awfully quite haha
I've never understood how a clutch works until I watched this. Great video
I'm impressed with your knowledge and tenacity in rebuilding different brands of motorcycles! That being said, it would be much easier to remove a stud from an engine case using the double nut method instead of a pair of pliers or vice -grips. This also results in no damage to the stud. Finally, getting a Shop Manual for the Motorcycle being worked on can save you a lot of trouble, like the "Hidden Bolt" holding the engine cases together! I know these things after working on Suzuki Motorcycles for more than 50 years!
Thanks for the explanation of how the clutch works... not being a mechanic, I had never noticed how the alternating pads connect to the inner or outer baskets.
Split a few crank cases in my time but you make it sound so logical and simple to understand - one of your best vids yet. Tried to order a T shirt but postage to us here in the UK is as much as the shirt itself and I honestly cannot afford it, will put it on my Christmas list though !!
I have never been interested in motorcycles in my whole life but you guys are amazing!! I subscribe to lots of different channels and you are by far my favorite channel of them all, I drop everything when a new video drops. You guys are funny as hell and it is so entertaining watching you work on engines/bikes... love the channel and keep up the good work Dan & Craig!!
0:58 seconds in and I'm really hoping that bottom end is FLAWLESS
Funny how everybody became an expert mechanic in the last episode's comment section
Editing on this video was super good, can definitely see the progress. keep it up!
1 minute and 4 seconds of bonus Craig thoughts were much appreciated.
Man you are the absolute best. Love the videos especially as a young guy working on my own bikes. I go to fix one thing and break 3 more but im learning along the way.
In a future video when you use a torch, could you explain when it’s safe/when it’s a bad idea? There’s been a few times where I’d like to heat something up so it eases out but I think im going to light up my whole bike.
I run around 8:1 compression for my Turbo bike.
19:00 Still, it IS a good thing you went in, for the "soft" pistons, the galled wrispin, and the wear on the rod. So it WASN'T a waste of time. And I learned a lot. So thanks, Chief 😊
I worked for a Kawasaki shop, for around 20 years. I've rebuilt many engines and transmissions. Craig, does a great job of explaining things.
Thanks for the explanations you do along the way, I’ve ridden since 1969 and along with my father, friends and bike shop mechanics showing and telling me engine things I have a good idea on how things are put together. Having said that, I’m no mechanic and always approach engine repairs slowly and and carefully. You clearly know your stuff and I appreciate learning more through your videos, thanks again for that. 😎🍺☮️🇨🇦
The genius is back, while he didn't even leave us. Always good!
Oh man I was waiting for the next installment! 👍🏻👍🏻
I really appreciate the depth and time for the explanations. I am not a mechanic and have limited knowledge on how things work. Thank you for explaining things so well that even the newbies understand 😊
I´m halfway thru the video and i´m as always blown away by the knowledge this man has. Plus the nicest and most chill mechanic i´ve ever seen. Thank you so much for explaning all of this so well.
Nice editing to get the clutch cover removal via impact wrench to match the music! Next level stuff!
Best merch plugs ever! Simple, unobtrusive and funny.
No metal until looking at the top end pieces , great video can't wait for everything to come back for the rebuild
Dude that synchronized driver with the music was insane. Whoever is editing this videos needs a raise haha
Great run down Craig. I always enjoy learning from your videos. Thanks for making it fun and educational.
never doubt your Craig.. He always knows best..
Metal shavings aside. Thank you for showing us all and explaining it. I'm sure I speak for many when I say it's very appreciated. 🤘🏻
Excellent video! I’m excited for this as a more in-depth engine study. It completely doesn’t seem necessary from Craig’s perspective but I view it as 100% educational knowledge. Thanks a lot Craig and Dan for this channel.
Start with lower boost and do plug chops along the way as you increase the boost.
Can't wait for the followup video already ❤
Hi Greg, I have been looking at a lot of your videos. I know you get a lot of comments from all the experts around. I have been working on bikes and cars for 40 yrs, and I am actually a really good mecanic. But you are a real EXPERT!!!
Craig, im so glad I found your channel. Your videos are some of my favorite on youtube. I love all the interesting projects, and variety you get in your shop. Really happy to see your continued success on the platform. Keep it up ❤
“Should be fine”.
“I know when a bottom end needs to come apart.” Are you using the force?
Dan, your editing skills continue to impress! Great to see you play with music and cuts when Craig is removing bolts on the clutch. Keep up the great work gentlemen!
It’s always a great day when there’s a new Bearded Mechanic video up. Thanks Craig and Dan for the excellent content and the instructional style, learned a lot!!!
It didn't "need" to come apart, but in the long run, you'll be happier to have done it. Thanks for putting a link in the description down below!
Had a good laugh at the "reticulating splines" reference.
If for no other reason than to check the rods, yeah, you gotta take the bottom end apart. Sorry Craig.
I kind of agree with Craig that the bottom end probably didn’t need to come apart because of metal. However, I think taking it all the way down is always the right move as you can’t be sure who was into an engine like this before you and what quality of work they performed.
I especially liked the clutch removal part with the zip tie tip. I need to pull the clutch on my high mileage 2008 busa soon, as the gear position sensor sends random numbers to the display occasionally. A part known for failure and fairly easy (but annoying) to replace. I'd recommed replacing it on that as well if it looks even a bit suspect. Thanks for another great video and a shout out from really faraway Finland!
I can’t help but laugh, I was 11 years old my dad came home and there I was on the floor with my 1968 Honda S65 all apart. Had literally had for only a couple days, he looked at me and said “ you already broke it ?” No pops I wanted to know how it worked. “ ok then tear it all the way down son “ replace everything……(gaskets, o rings etc ) ha ha 56 years later still tearing up ha ha
But did you get it back together?
@@weiswurst666 Oh absolutely, being Mr. Anal I had everything put in it’s place . Found out earlier rebuilding Briggs & Stratton that there should be no left over parts when done ha ha ha
Reminds me of my first car at age 16. I had inherited the family '69 Chevy Nova with a straight six. The oil was a gray sludge, which I was told meant that the head gasket was blown. My Dad could never find the time to help me, so I tore into it on my own. I had ZERO clue how to do it, but I was determined. I did the whole job, but not knowing any better, I didn't clean the sealing surfaces properly or check that they were not warped. Worse, I had no idea about how to properly torque the head bolts, so I ended up more or less right where I started. If I'd've had TH-cam back then, I think I could have taught myself how to do it.
I nearly crapped myself first time I rode a busa, another cool vid Craig.
Amazing video. Me as a car mechanic 25 years learned alot for this . Thank you
Craigs is an awesome technician with how detail oriented he is with everything.
10:20 😅 every time Craig straightens his glasses 🤓 I think of a moose 🫎 😂❤ 🫲 🤓 🫱
I lol'd
I very much appreciate you pointing out the high quality parts we installed!
true, shame some of the reassembly done by yourself or your previous mechanic were found to be loose, real good work there (sarcasm mode active).
I have been working and riding motorcycles since 1990. I recently retired from federal law enforcement, specifically to pursure my new dream. I started last week as a motorcycle apprentice mechanic. I love these videos. The shop i work at is very similar to the atmosphere in Craig's shop. I am so excited to go to work now. Its like Christmas when a bike xomes in for service. Opening presents everyday. I love it.
Craig.. and Dan.. thanks for taking me away from my mind for 34.57 minutes.. it helped allot seeing you guys do your thing again..
Excellent information, but I agreed with Craig in the first video. I'm a retired motorcycle mechanic, I would not have pulled it apart. I definitely would have recommended a new cam chain, just as Craig said.
Then you're dumb. Is he working flat rate? Why not pull it apart. Now you know. And he did find damage.
Wow, you do a excellent job explaining how and why it works. .... Thanks
I know basically nothing about engines, clutches, transmissions, etc but I found this very fascinating to watch
Thanks for the follow up on this one.
This is the best content by far out there that i've stumbled on. Cheers!
Loving every part of your videos, huge learnings. Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge. Big fan here.
Brilliant video!! I know nothing about engines and that was a fantastic walk through of relationships between the various pieces. Nice work oh bearded one 👌
I really love your work on bike what you do... I just love it ❤
I've been watching your content the last week, and you inspired me to pull my 10th birthday present. My 1982 Z50R I had put a Chinese motor in it but pulled it back off 2 years ago, and it sat under my house in boxes. Assembled in 2 hours and cleaned the spark plug, then she had spark. Checked the oil and drained the old fuel, some starting fluid and first kick she fired. Had a fun afternoon. Keep the fun videos coming 👍
I dont care about the specific things, but Craig giving a professional explanation is great. Also love the zip tie trick
Great stuff as always. You're like the best Shop Teacher ever. Thanks for sharing guys. Take care.
I love Dan’s commentary! You guys work so well together!
I am amazed at how complicated that whole process of tearing it down is. I am sticking to my single cylinder Briggs & Stratton engine on my lawn mower.
very simple, busa have high tech but normal MC engines have super simple repair and tear and make, not need engineer or doctor be, haha. i tear and repair my first MC engine totally off all and change some parts and make all back has 12 year old and first kick run fine. simple repair MC or olden car engine. new car need many know how torque and timing system more know, end lot elektric need know today. i love repair all old MC engines simple easy job.
Was great seeing someone explain all this so clearly. Thanks Craig!
This is the first time I've ever seen Craig actually act like a mechanic. He truly did not feel like taking this thing apart. 🤣🤣🤣
Amazing video. Thanks for the explanations while tearing it down!
I'm not a gearhead but I got to tell you, you guys are both very entertaining you guys are doing it the right way. Craig you are an amazing teacher.
