    About the same condition my Shadow was before I brought back to like. Only difference was the tires we flat and in terrible shape. I love projects like this!

    Whenever a multicylinder sits, some of the valves will be open, the valve springs compressed, after yrs those springs will be weak and lower the red line, so valve float might happen.

    It's all about the numbers the numbers have to be right how much it's worth VS cost to restore especially parts cost

    Hi,
    Thanks for the information you shared in the video.
    I have a crucial question about cylinder compression just after engine restoration.
    I've just finished my CBX 750P engine restoration and all parts are original and new I changed.
    I restore the engine literally with the CBX 750P workshop manual book.
    Just after restoration, I test the cylinder compression and all (4 cylinders) shows 85 PSI. But in the manual book, clarifies 170+-25.
    Some references suggest riding min 500 miles and then test the cylinder compression. Some references say compression test just after finished restoration is wrong. What is your opinion about it?
    Thanks in advance.

    should I be just as concerned for a bike that is new but has Benn sitting 5 years?

    • @How2Wrench
      @How2Wrench  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes. Depending were you live "rust" doesn't care about how new it is, steel is steel and will rust. I would for surely be concerned with the fuel system. I can help you personally to come up with a list of what to do.

    Hi Shane, really enjoy watching your videos, I'd like to ask you a question, I love to do mechanical work to my old V-Strom 1000 and recently I had the stator magnets coming loose, so rather than getting a new very expensive flywheel, I glued them back and the fix seems to hold and work well so far but I was a bit concerned about the theoretical possibility of the flywheel balance being off after this repair. I went to a shop and they told me that it is not ok to balance the flywheel only (without pistons) and even if it could be done it would be too expensive to do compared to buying a new flywheel. What would you do? P.S. The bike is not vibrating excessively. Thanks if you can help and apologies if I posted this in the wrong place.

    No ones dream bike is an 84 Nighthawk? That said you can get a mint one for $3500. The one in this video is a parts bike in my book!

      So glad we have restoration police on here to tell people what they can or cannot have sentimental feelings for a motorcycle their father left them. 😁 We couldn't resist....the videos on this channel are skill based intent...in case you missed what How 2 Wrench is here for...make it a great day.

    Viola Ark Dennie has a Motorcycle junk yard , What I know for fact is trying to restore a 20 year old Honda or Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki you can not find parts . I had a Honda Dealer look up Intake manifolds for a twinstar 250 they even did a worldwide search. called me said no way they could find them look up Junk yards . # 1 Reason I own Harley Davidson I can get parts for a 30 to 40 year old bike .

    Old bikes are cheap to buy, expensive to restore and if you're lucky to find someone that wants to buy it you're lucky to get half your money back.
