YOU ARE SOOOO CLOSEEEEE. Keep it up man you almost have it running!
An old trick I learned with my 82 Virago... I had the same starter issues and before I replaced the engagement clutch - which ultimately solved the problem - I would shift into 1st gear and rock the bike back and forth a couple times. Then turn the key and hit the start button. Worked well as a temporary solution to get the bike started.
Add some starter fluid to make it start and add Lucas to the gas to clean up lines a bit, clean up spark plugs and new plugs I think I should run after that, also check the on off switch sometimes they get stuck and you can put it direct too
Hope it starts 🙏
yeah, she is not dead! niice, waiting the next video.
Its the sprag clutch in the starter motor assy. Same thing occurred on my TR1. Just use JB weld to join the friction plate and the outer orbital gear ring. Also, your bendix needs replacing. Good times.
I actually figured it out and it's all good! Next video coming tomorrow.
@@TheInja i have the same issue and you never explained what you did to fix it. what exactly was the issue???
Y
13:33 dog gives it a once over and just quits lol
I had similar problems and i found out that the float wasnt adjust correctly, luckily when i bought my 700, someone converted it to a single carb so it was easy to pull out and fix
Good to know! I'm actually about to pull the carbs today, so I'm glad you mentioned that.
The Inja good luck!
The thumbnail makes it look like its 50% of the way to a bobber already!
Yeah man I'm stoked. Designing it in photoshop soon to show you guys the concept.
love the DOG
She also may have dry bores which won’t help. Pistons could be sticking. Have you added oil to the bores and hand cranked it?
Thanks for your vids. Love them! And your T-shirt too ;)
Thanks bb 😘
Carb cleaning is almost a given on bikes that have not been run in a while. I had a 1982 XV920. I now have an 1997 XV1100. They made major starter changes about 1984. The XV920 had a horrible starter. The 1990 should be a good bike. They had time to fix some of the bugs. I like your four legged assistant.
Yes, I agree, the carbs need cleaning! / There's a light at the end of the tunnel!
Jumping into it today!
Try a ground wire from the bolt of the starter and bring it straight to the negitive on the battery
I think it's gonna fire up
Next episode. And when it does you're gonna have to give my money back
hahaha Clearly a man who watches the whole video
I'll throw you a party if it fires up next video
Commercial God
lmao that intro 🤣🤣 She's a keeper
haha Don't I know it XD
Getting close. Great video.
Gonna be amazing to finally get it riding.
Best bit of advice I can give is rtfm in the nice way is buy the Haynes/Clymer motorcycle electronics manual and read it. It covers all the different systems and their various arrangements of all motorcycle electronics and how they work. This will make trouble shooting much easier if you understand the whole system and it's components example would be battery 6 cells for 12 volt system lead acid type has 2.2 ish per cell so 13.2volts for fully charged battery, 12.5 volts is, well not great 12 is flat below that, is something is wrong level.
Another thing, most all the connectors are specifically shaped to mate only with correct one (dummy proof), only 2 are swappable, the fuel pump and the connector for 1990+ pickup. Found that out hard way.
No, tci saftey does the start control by the neutral, some clutch, kickstand switch. Besides your hearing the solenoid click....!!!! You got solenoid leads backwards.
Nope
You have a lot learn my friend don’t be afraid to ask for help
I'm hoping you will 'do' a Yammy 1100, 2007. I have starter issues.
best intro tho
Sounds like a cheap machine gun toy... Hahahaha
All seriousness, great job man!. Imma continue watching till the latest episode
Coming soon!
I’m getting ready to do a 1998 xv 1100
Fantastic content man love your stuff. Keep it up!
Yes
Closed for race day.
That eureka moment! 13:25
Had my heart racing when I heard it!
Pinchers for the full keeping from coming out
I still think you should change the starter motor and starter clutch bendix gear
these parts are very common to go bad on our viragos
I'll be figuring the starter problems out after I get it running for the first time. I don't want to go crazy replacing everything if the bike won't run anyway!
@@TheInja yeah do that! :-)
First of all, your going a long ways around to figure out a starter when you could just jumper wire the starter terminal at the solenoid.
I cant wait till you figure out changing solenoid leads. Battery to outside lead, shorter cable to inside lead, short cable goes back to starter lead.
Agree would be best to be right way round but in theory should not make a difference provided no unknowns of diodes, caps or other items in system. Industrial types often have diode ascoss activation side to stop ringing for instance. Surprised he didn't just borrow a test one from one of his other bikes I doubt cx500 is that different and should work for just a quick once or twice test.
Did this ever get finished?
Nope, but very soon so follow along!
Even though these rebuild videos are great to watch I was pretty offended when he called his supporters/subscribers ‘idiots’ and ‘losers’ for hoping it will start up.
It's a jooookkkkeeeeeee
They know I love them all
Great stuff man but those starter gears sound nasty! Is it the starter it’s self or the gears on the engine side that go bad on these bikes? I had to go fire up my CX and take it for a lunch break run after watching this!
Hahaha Yeah it was awful, and I knew it. But I need to confirm the bike will run so I didn't care. The starter gears need to be replaced anyway. The starter is fine, it's just the old-school starter mechanism (and gears) that fails on these bikes.
The Inja I would have done the same thing! Ya just need to know it runs. Great news about your engine not being seized and you’re continuing with the build.
@@dbuell I'm excited. Hope you all are, too 👌🏽
Starting realay I had that prouble I got 1996
I get the skip ad joke but I think you can actually admit it to skip to the next time stamp in your video if you did time stamps
I’ll bet this poor motorcycle never thought it would be where it is today broken down and neglected for years so sad
Yep.
You should watch mrmaxstorey
If starters could talk....
16:41 of video, 16min of chatting 41sec. Of fixing
Shim the starter
He'll ya
What's with the ski ad
*why does it say skip ad all the time
Don't ever touch the throttle while starting !!
Same engine but a BT1100 Bulldog build in Italy:

Fix and chat less !!
Love the welding dude. Looks like pigeon shit and who would do such a dumb thing?
Sacrilege that you turned it into a bobber.
Bendix
shhhhh no one has to know
What the hell are you doing? Your face is in front of the camera 90% of the time. I am not interested to look at your pretty face dude. Let the camera to focus on your HANDS!
Nah I'm good thx bb
couldnt you have pulled the plugs, put it in gear and see if it moved the pistons ? And ya carbs would be gummed up .
