I can’t tell if they’re being serious or just trying to be funny. I never knew you had such a great sense of humor! I haven’t seen something this hilarious in a while!
Every person who ever tried to do something like that by themselves knows that feeling… Thank you for sharing it’s so refreshing to see something real in our plastic glossy social media world!
WTF? You'll never forget this experience. Next time use white vinegar followed by baking soda and boiling water followed by isopropyl alcohol. There are many methods, find yours and stick with it.
Funny. This was very un German, where we expect everyone to do everything perfectly with no problems. Glad you were brave enough to show all the f*ck ups, made for a good video. Danke. 😂😂
You sound like me when I work on stuff! Quote of the day, "Physics is sometimes an asshole!" Brilliant! Best of luck with the bike, can't wait to see it done.
Habe das bei meiner alten Suzuki GS 500 mit Danclorix und einem alten Batterieladegerät und einem alten Schraubenschlüssel gemacht. Das hat super funktioniert.
As soon as I heard “toilet cleaner” my brain went into panic mode……..& then I saw how many bottles…..& then I saw that you weren’t in a garage 😳…….but it did give me a laugh 🤣🤣🤣
Just discovered your channel few days ago and this is exactly the type of aproach I like to motorcycles. I also love 80s and 90s bikes and I started pretty much like you, although I didn't tavel much so far. Just sunday riding at Portuguese Atlantic coast. About the tank, there are some really good products to de rust it, nut your approach is great and accessible! Love it! If you come to Portugal let me know as I have one or two machines you would lobe to see. Regards!
Don’t worry you can leave as many comments as you want ☺️. You don’t really need to script something like that it’s kind of a Murphys law situation everything that can go wrong will go wrong ☺️
After several nights of complex and ultimately unsuccessful work on my own broken dkwn motorbike its nice to see someone else also struggling snd swearing 😄
As far as i can see it's just a few rustspots in this tank nothing to worry about the petcock has a very fine mecsh filter that is good enough, your ideas for stopping leaks are hilarious, best way to stop this is a short fuel line with a 6mm bolt in the end 😅
@@FreeMilesMC Because you were shopping for the wrong product. Acetic acid is the active ingredient in vinegar used for this application. Also, I think calcium, lime, and rust remover may be a more effective option than toilet bowl cleaner. But it's possible they are made from the same stuff.
For the fuelcock i used a old bit of bathtub, and clamped the fuelcock spacer (which my bike had) on it with the 2 bolts. In my experience, the de-rust and seal kit from tank cure is the absolute best. Also, when drying, if you think you have all the water out, splash about 200ml of isopropinol in the tank and shake it. Drain, and air out. Now the tank will be perfectly dru without using a blower, which can cause surface rust from forming.
But at the end we got it done. I was often fighting woth anxity about the topic of working on my bike aswell because espacially in the beginning stuff is going Like This 😂😂
I think you made it absolutely clear in terms real DIY. Allways things going in different way of our imagenation. I made it once whit a lot of rusty tank but whit other kind of acid and rust remover after that. Every thing was great. I mean the result :D Тhe whole process was very tricky like you showing. I wasn't use tank sealer and tank is now rusty again although is stay full with gas... Can you share what seal product you use? I can't find it in other links.
Erst mal respekt, dass du das so hochgeladen hast. Hätten wohl viele nicht gemacht. War teilweise echt anstrengend zu zusehen, da ich genau weiss, wie besch... sich sowas anfühlt (ehemaliger Instandhaltungsmechaniker). Solche verschlüsse können teilweise echt zum kotzen sein, wenn mans provisorisch abdichten möchte. Tipp fürs nächste mal beim abdichten der Schlauchanschlüsse beim Tank: von einem Einweghandschuh (Nitril) den Finger abschneiden und ein Stück Korken oder Oropax in den Finger tun und dann von aussen in den Anschluss drücken. Vorteil dabei ist, dass du den "Stopfen" so relativ einfach rauskriegst und keine überreste von Kork o.ä. im Tank verbleiben.
Vielen Dank für die guten Tips. Ich find es wichtig sowas auch hochzuladen. Weil bei mir ist schon oft was schiefgegangen weil das normal ist. Weil man fängt etwas ohne Geld, ohne Erfahrung, ohne die richtigen Werkzeuge an. Und dann leuft das am Anfang immer so. Damit Leute sehen das sie nicht die einzigen sind bei den das manchmal so ist. Wen man sich dem bewusst ist ist es find ich auch einfach das mit dem Motorrad selbst schrauben durchzuziehen
Jesus fuckng Christ? Das ist auch nach zweitausend Jahren noch eine funktionierende Methode, Abonnenten loszuwerden. Vielleicht sollte man manchmal doch ein wenig darauf achten, was man sagt.
This reminds me so much of my own attempt at fixing my old kawasaki. I ended up giving it away for free after I fucked it up so bad nobody wanted to buy it.
For next time, you can buy the acid pure at obi for a few euros the liter. I had almost the exact experience. My tank was too heavy and cracked the bucket underneath. Thankfully I was outside and no one saw me permanently end all life in this square meter of grass.
Make a stand for it connect mounting points to a long bolt on each side, put some metal bits inside and connect a power drill to one side let it RIP for a day or two , it will be brand new inside. Just remember to flush the tank.
would of been better putting the glove piece over the hole and then screwing the petcock thingy back on to seal the hole and also doing it over a bath or shower base but stil funny to watch :D
Yooo why the hell did you do this inside😂 you must have missed my comment in an earlier video of you where i explained how i cleaned the tank of my Xj600 with cleaning vinegar in detail. First time it was leaking as well and had probably 10L of vinegar on my garage floor haha.
I needed water to clean it out and sadly don’t have a Place with water outside. I still remember your comment. I will get to Trying out your Methode it’s just Hard to get strong enough vinegar. Happy to See you commenting again ☺️
@@FreeMilesMC haha all good. Didnt mean it like why didnt you use my method. But more the part to make 100% sure the bottom is secured and doesn't leak😂 and my compliment that you dared to upload this episode just raw as it is. Just no shame and just the reality of how things can go when trying things out! Keep it going😎
@ianvanbussel3290 Thank you for the compliment☺️. Actually i was considering your Methode because of your comment but to get strong enough vinigar i would have had to cook the water out of a vinigar mixture to get a higher acid procentage and that in my kitchen and i thought that is Most likly a doumb Idea
@@FreeMilesMC with normal vinegar that might be necessary but cleaning vinegar is powerfull enough on its own. You can buy that almost everywhere. Canisters of 5L in bigger supermarkets or gardening or construction shops. Anyways, have a good evening and see yah!
does that monstrosity have 4 different carburetors? my god, i tried to find a mechanic to synchronize 2 in my 2 million population city and couldnt. i dont want to imagine the nightmare of 4 carbs. keeping them in sync after winter, after not riding for awhile, how do you survive that punishment?
🤣 Went exactly the way I experience my DIY most of the time
Haha yes thats why i uploaded it because literally this is the case 90% of the time 😂
I can’t tell if they’re being serious or just trying to be funny. I never knew you had such a great sense of humor! I haven’t seen something this hilarious in a while!
Actually This Video was serius it all just wen really wrong 😂
I’m sorry but this was hilarious to watch!!
You got the job done 👍🙂
And thats what Counts at the end.
Every person who ever tried to do something like that by themselves knows that feeling…
Thank you for sharing it’s so refreshing to see something real in our plastic glossy social media world!
One of the most entertaining videos you have uploaded on your channel, and brutally honest. You got the job done in the end so well done!
WTF? You'll never forget this experience. Next time use white vinegar followed by baking soda and boiling water followed by isopropyl alcohol.

I fell this video represents me, i love it
Miles bit by bit you are becoming one of my favorite youtubers. Thank you
Thank you for this super nice comment I am giving my best to make relatable content that shows motorcycle riding in its true colors ☺️

I just bought a new Chinese tank for my Rebel and avoided all the hassle .
Great video . Had me roaring with laughter .

I’ve found cider vinegar does a great job of removing rust from inside of gas tanks.
It was tuff to get strong enough vinigar.

really enjoyed this one. "quality" cleaner make sure it makes you blind lmao 10/10

You sir are a legend. Great video 👍🏻
hilarious and nice! We have all been there..
This brought my anxiety to a whole new level. The Vagisan Lotion shot at 9:27 was golden, however.
But at the end we got it done. I was often fighting woth anxity about the topic of working on my bike aswell because espacially in the beginning stuff is going Like This 😂😂

Your best ever content 😂
omg! I was cleaning the rust from a tank last weekend and also had some fails 😂 made this even funnier
I can imagine your next landlord inspection: How did you get those balcony tiles so clean?
golf tees are good for blocking vent tubes

This whole video made me extremely uncomfortable, ain't gonna lie :D
Well it was a very uncomftable day doing the work aswell
@@FreeMilesMC In any case, this would be a great resource for anyone attempting this job. Showing the fck ups is just as important as the successes.

look at the bright side, you'll be able to eat off those floors
btw what happened to the screws, bolts and nuts method?
I was not sure if it was going to be suffixant
@@FreeMilesMC with some white vinegar it would work perfectly, but you've sorted it, that's the most important thing
A lot of effort. Sometimes everything goes wrong.
Make a stand for it connect mounting points to a long bolt on each side, put some metal bits inside and connect a power drill to one side let it RIP for a day or two , it will be brand new inside. Just remember to flush the tank.
I somehow missed a fat "scheisse!". ;)
Sorry, no offense. I'm just thankful for your videos. And I like the bike.
would of been better putting the glove piece over the hole and then screwing the petcock thingy back on to seal the hole and also doing it over a bath or shower base but stil funny to watch :D
Congrats on almost making sarin gas 😂😂😂
when you picked up a pack of condoms i know it's quality DIY time , sorry for the struggle but it's really was fun .
This went so bad you might as well have just put the tank in the bathtub and filled the entire tub.
👍💪

Between all the toilet cleaner, condoms, toilet paper and everything else how much did this cost?
All in all it was 20 Bucks i think it’s was not really Worth it another aproach would have been better i saw it online and wanted to try if this works
I'm still scared by the lack of eye protection 🤓
Let's hope your landlord is not your subscriber. Or that she/he is a subscriber for a good and friendly reason :)
