Appologies For The Camera Angle On This Ride People - I Didn't Quite Get The Angle Right
Great vid thanks.
Thanks 😁
🍻
Awesome advice here mate, really insightful regarding investable bikes! shame the angle was a bit off on the camera, but I enjoyed it all the same 😁
Thanks as always, and yes I cocked up the angle a bit, but couldn't re-do the video again
@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes Yeah apart from thart aspect it was really good, think you're right about the TL1000 looking a bit odd too 😂
@@allthatglitterz4564 Great bikes the TL1000 so I hear, but not pretty lol, might see if I can find One to review this Year too 😁
@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes You're going to run out of budget bikes at this rate haha
@@allthatglitterz4564 Yeah that's true! I've had almost every bike I wanted to try now! but there are always more I guess 🤣
Hiya. I need some advice and hoping you can help. I'm seriously considering buying a bike privately without seeing it. I live in West yorkshire and the bikes located in Somerset. What are the dos and don't. I'm totally lost with it
Firstly... has it had the Manual Camchain Tensioner Modification done? is there any history? when (if ever) did it last have a valve clearance service? how are the tyres? have you checked the old MOT's online yet? (check for advisories) make sure you do a HPi check to make sure it's not been crashed or stolen in the past, ask the seller to send you a good quality walk around video to highlight any negatives, scratches/scuffs/dents or dings, rust issues etc etc, and also ask for a cold start video to listen out for chain rattle when cold. if you need help with a courier give me a shout. Hope this helps, and good luck 😀
@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes thank you for your response. It's a triumph 1050. Seller says its had pudding cable upgrade plus reg/rec and stator upgrades done. Not much in way of history. I've asked for a walk around video but he said he's been doing viewings today and tomorrow. If it's still for sale tomorrow I'll ask again. I'll pay for full hpi Check then. I'll definitely need advice with transportation. How and when do u pay money to buyer?
@@jayfox9779 Sorry I assumed you were buying a VTR1000 - again check to see if it's had a valve clearance service (12k on the 1050 engines) the rear suspension can be a weak point on these too, has it ever been serviced? headstock bearings can also start to get loose, I use www.totalcarcheck.com for my HPi reports, as to when to pay the seller, I never put down any deposit when buying like this, I arrange a courier and do a bank transfer when the courier has arrived at the address and inspected the bike. If you drop my a message on insta or via e-mail I can put you in touch with the guys I use. Should be around £160 for your job 😉(no idea what a "pudding cable upgrade" is!) good to know it's had the reg/rec and stator upgrade, I wonder if there are invoices for that? people tend to say all sorts to sell a bike, but then say they did it all themselves so no proof!
@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes I've not thought of that regarding proof of any of the work the seller says has been done but will certainly ask now. I'll message u on Instagram. Thank u for all your advice 💓
@@jayfox9779 No Worries
Japanese reliability until the cam chain tensioners and reg rec let go.
Thats why there is the MCCT Mod... that is a must on these! the reg/rectifier can be an issue on pretty much any bike in my experience, but again there is an updated One you can fit in minutes to sort that out 🙂
The auto cct's are notorious, as are the self boiling rectifiers (same with the VFR 800 pre vtec). Luckily mine came with MCCT's and a quality replacement rectifier.👍
Bottom Line Honda built a motorcycle that only runs to 30,000 MI once they get in that range you're playing Russian roulette every time you hit the start button but what I don't get is Honda's perfectly okay and it seems like everybody is okay with it nobody wants to fight for a recall I just bought one of these fucking motorcycles spent $5,000 on it lasted me 2000 miles bought it with 28,000 thinking that's low soon as they hit 30,000 on my way to Loon Lake clack clack clack clack done look it up it's all over the Internet these are 30,000 Mi bikes unless you modify them but that shouldn't be up to us that should be up to Honda call the recall.... it's unacceptable and I'm not going to stop until Honda makes it right I worked hard for that freaking money 2 years of saving for 2000 miles of enjoyment and then 24 hours of living hell on my way to Loon Lake in the middle of nowhere bear and Mountain Lion Country walking down the Road at 3 in the morning I see a huge bear shit right in the middle of the road I'm still fucking traumatized laugh you think I'm joking it was literally the worst night of my fucking life and Honda's perfectly fine with it
And people stopped trying to stand up for Honda and stand up for me look it up there's no arguing my point it's all over the Internet these bikes do not run past 30000 miles unless you modify them
Cool bikes when they run but they don't run past thirty thousand miles
I've actually seen quite a few out there with well over 40k? In my experience big V-Twins run at much lower revs, therefore far less stress on the engines, of course maintaining them is essential 😁
@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes th-cam.com/video/NeI70izGP3M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wPhER4smNons-Zr4
What the fck why is everybody standing up for Honda the videos are all over the Internet these bikes do not run past 30,000/33 MI freaking deal with it . it is a known fact unless you modify them my point is unarguable look it up timing chain issues with the superhawk
@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes why are you trying to stand up for Honda instead of taking my side the consumer recall what I'm saying is a fact there's no arguing a fact look it up I'm warning you I wish somebody would have warned me look up Honda superhawk timing chain issues bikes don't run past 30000 miles and less timing chain tensioners fixed that's not an easy fix and it shouldn't be on us the consumer it should be a recall that is Honda's fault but they're okay with selling us at 30000 mile bike and that's the bottom line why don't we all get together and fight for what is right I recall.... and actually you're fucking wrong about that shit Toyota Tacoma did a recall on their fucking truck it's a 90s model they just put out the recall two years ago so what the fuck are you talking about you really are a brain-dead motherfuker Honda fucking you in the ass
@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes th-cam.com/video/NeI70izGP3M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wPhER4smNons-Zr4
This is what I don't get we all know that they don't make it past 32 33 thousand miles videos are all over the Internet this is a 30000 mile bike once they hit 30,000 or 33 the timing chain tensioner goes out and they blow up but nobody wants to get behind me on this recall I know they stopped making them an 05 but still does not make it right Honda owes me a motorcycle. I took the best care of that like I do all my bikes I got two thousand miles out of it spent $5,000 nobody wants to get behind me on this Recall why? A bike should last longer than 30,000 miles Honda owes me a bike or Fix-It recall something you can't tell me it's okay to buy a bike at 28,000 miles I write it for a couple thousand and it blows up right at 30,000 miles just like all the videos say but I did not see before my bike blew up I can send them to you this page all day long it is a known fact these bikes do not make it past 30,000 miles unless you change that sh-t out
As I said.... I feel your pain, And I really hope you end up with a solution you're happy with 😉
Do not buy one of these bikes trust me they don't make it past 30,000 miles look it up if you don't believe me 30000 Mi hits timing chain tensioner goes out no more motorcycle for you I bought one with 28,000 miles on it soon as I hit 30 it happened to me and I've emailed Honda called Nothing can't get nobody to respond there's got to be a recall this is unacceptable I spent two years of savings on this bike and it only ran for 2,000 miles 28,000 miles is low mileage on any other bike but this they stop running at 30,000 they blow up look it up...... I just cannot believe Honda didn't do a recall
That's why anyone who knows these bikes, always says to make sure it's had the manual cam chain tensioner modification. Done 😉
@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes th-cam.com/video/NeI70izGP3M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wPhER4smNons-Zr4 what I would have gave to seeing this video 2 months ago:-(
And with mine there was Zero warning idle fine sound perfect really nice I was only going Thirty to thirty-five miles an hour I was off the throttle and soon as I rolled back on the throttle hard noise and then clack clack clack
@@flow_922 I guess that's why the modification is so important? I've only ever bought mine with the mod already done thankfully
@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes gosh I wish I would have known...... mine blew up right at 30000 MI I was on my way to Loon Lake in the Sierra mountains in the middle of nowhere going about 35 mph soon as I started to roll back onto the throttle horrible noise let up with clack clack clack I had to walk about 20 miles through bear and Mountain Lion infested range as I'm walking down the road at 3 in the morning I see a humongous bear shit right in the middle of the road no joke a month later I'm still fucking traumatized and I've been trying to get ahold of Honda and they're just making it worse I cannot get any response so that tells me Honda's perfectly okay with selling a motorcycle that only makes it the 30,000 miles...... What's funny is when I finally got back to civilization on my TH-cam page the main feed was about this timing chain jumping first video at the top strange how that shit happened up until that I never heard of this happening
