Just picked up a 81' GS450L as a winter project / learning opportunity and found your channel. Phenomenal content. The bike currently starts up and *generally* runs, stoked to dig in and learn more about it. Really appreciate your clarity and taking the time to explain things throughout, it's appreciated.
Brick House Builds I ride a 2004 vstrom but wanted to get my hands dirty with something a bit simpler. I’ll try to share updates as I progress through the bike.
Thank you Gus. I do like the click type and have those as well but I prefer this style on lower torque fasteners like in the video. If you watch the previous video I explain that as I use it.
Ack, the part I'm looking for was skipped. There are little rubber plugs at the ends of the CAM shafts. How do I install those? Can I reuse the old ones? Do I need to use adhesive?
@@BrickHouseBuilds I did but it only shows the same style as yours. I've found a few pictures on the internet but it seems to be people searching for help. I'll keep digging. I've asked shops around here but they don't work on older bikes lol.

@@dinosaurtimesten vstroms are cool bikes but yea a gs450 is a fun bike to get your hands dirty on
Another great video. Really appreciate what you do. Thanks so much!
Glad you enjoyed thank you!
Great vids. Professional and clear. Looking forward to the reassembly of the cx.
Thank you Tony! I thought the "internally screaming" part was the most professional!
HI, nice video , you are nearly there.Don't you like the torque wrench that clicks ? thanks for the video, Gus

Nice video series. But what was exactly the reason to disassembly the top engine?
In the previous video I showed how I did a leak down test and the plan moving forward.

You can reuse them if they are in decent condition of course. I do typically put a very thin film of sealant on them especially at any corner joint.
super video ....
Thank you sir!
These are great. I'm working on an 85 GS450L but the timing marks are different. I don't have a window to line the rt up with. Any advice?
Thank you! Have you picked up a service manual for your bike? They would have that info within.

@@mikerainwater4205 so no window in the ignition plate to view through or what?
Temporarily remove the plate and you may find some marks behind it... I think. Then after all is times reinstall the plate
Did you make that little plate that you put between the cam gears to keep them in place while reinstalling?
Yes I did. Worked really well. It was needed to do the leak down test as well
can't find carb boots for this engine. Do you know anywhere?
Should be able to find them on partzilla, cmsnl, ebay
