It’s good to see someone with more experience than me doing the work. It validates stuff I do that I’m not sure about and teaches me new ways of doing things.
I enjoyed it! I watched it while eating dinner. It's nice to see this type of work because most riders rarely dive this deep into an engine. It's great familiarization.
This is very calming to watch during my breaks. Would be cool to have an assembly video too. In addition, it's also useful since I will have to do a rebuild of my own engine soon :)
Very helpful! Years ago I rebuilt my first engine (yamaha350twin) and I had no idea what I was doing but I watched a couple of these and that motor took abuse for a few years after I put it together. The one thing I still regret selling was that banshee.
This *is* interesting, even for a hobbyist like me. Seeing the tools you use, how you use them, all that is good. Seeing your incidental comments, like "sneaky washer" about 6 times, is very useful. It's interesting and useful seeing how you handle (and comment on) things going wrong ("This right here is why I don't true cranks between centers" "what I just did to the end of the crank... renders it useless for truing purposes")
I have done plenty of rebuilds, but it is always good to seeing another persons ways of doing things. Thanks for your knowledge and thanks for the video! Are you going to do a re-assembly?
As I just blew up my tranny on a 1978 Honda xl this weekend this is exactly what I was hoping to see. Now to make a decision wether I can handle doing it or not. But as with your $500 dollar buy in other vid probably not worth it. Was trying to go easy on a worn out clutch and speed shifting all the time eventually broke someting in there. Wonder how difficlut it is to get a whole fresh unit.
Any reason you don't put a plastic bag over the intake and exhaust and give it a quick superclean/brakleen bath before putting it on your bench? Just wasted time if you're going to have to give it a proper clean later? All that mud would drive me nuts! +1 on enjoying this format. I'm not opposed to edits but I like the longer form start-to-finish stuff as a guy who dabbles on weekends and likes to learn!
Good reason, yes. It’s still freezing overnight here, do the process of setting up my pressure washer involves tearing it down & bringing it in. Since the engine only took 20 minutes to remove & the engine only took 20 minutes to disassemble, the 20-30 minutes to wash it seemed like a waste. Soon I’ll have an electric pressure washer mounted inside so I can work on clean bikes every time.

I vote yes for the uncut, disassembly and assembly even diagnostic videos. In real time.
that's where you are wrong, this is exactly the kind of thing people want to see on youtube.
Agreed
Yep
Yes! Would be a valuable resource for anyone who wants to do this job at home but is afraid of the unknown.
super cool! Would like to see you build back too
I'm so glad you decided to post this! Your content has been an invaluable resource for a DIYer like myself. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Real time full length videos are just great..nuts/bolts meat and potatoes stuff..cheers
I liked this video. It showed the real thing the struggles the easy stuff exactly how it would go in real life. I would watch more of this for sure
i liked it, would be cool to see a part 2 with inspection of the parts and assembly
Agreed!

Really enjoy the content chuck I have learned a lot
Excellent thanks.
Great stuff Chuck! Do the same type of video to assemble the engine and cleaning the parts lol
Building the engine takes a lot longer, but I’ll see if I can figure something out!
Throughly enjoy the session
Zipties keeping parts organized together gold! U said it, lever, leaver, hahaha! I don't know why I think its so funny.
Gold hands, excellent video Chuck!
If there isnt a part 2 ill be disappointed 👍
Well the engine is almost assembled on my bench, but I’ve got another one coming apart tomorrow, so I guess I’ll make some more content with that.

Interesting! I’ll do some more of this in the future.
Great vid Chuck would love to see more stuff like this in the future ❤️

Reassembly takes much longer, so it’s hard to do it real time. I’m thinking about how I can do this style but still keep it short.
@ChuckfromTrueTech oh ya, I know it definitely takes a little more finesse. Haha!
I enjoyed it. Love seeing how others tear motors down. Especially a 300 motor and you doing it lol
Great content; not sure if it's on my end or not but the audio seems kinda low
Loved it, although wouldn't you remove a lot more parts with the engine in situ if you knew it was a full stripdown?
ktm gears look huge

What model impact guns are you using? Do you also tighten with impact? Nice video.
I’ve got a Snap-on 3/8 electric impact & an Ingersol-Rand 2235 air impact. I use the Snap-on for tightening.

@@ChuckfromTrueTech fair enough! Hasn't been that cold for us in a while on Vancouver Island, thankfully.
Ha! You’re not done! Haha😂
Chuck, pure Moto porn , time well wasted. Any idea how many hours on the bottom end ? , looks like that piston had almost zero time on it.
The top end was recently done. No idea on the bottom.
