Why is everything covered with plastic? How does he work will the the benches coverd woth tools? Very nicly organization but seems like it would be hard to work with everything cramped together. 😊
Hi, im not able to find the difference between an eca 2 and g enduro 2.0... seems to have the same components
Yeah I think color might be the only difference
Your speed of travel is quite dazzling to watch, I'm praising your skill level. Safe wishes to ya. Thanks.
Why she does this sound ? ( i like the sound)
No muffler
Did you switch to power steering fluid or kept using ATF4?
I’m pretty sure this kit recommends GM power steering fluid
How often does it Need an oilchange onroad use? And how is the Rest Abort the Intervall of the Engine? (Sorry for my Bad english)
The manual recommends to change the oil every thousand kilometres
@@StockyBaldman Ohhh okay thanks
More peugeot 505 content please
I think the guys who own this have a channel called @200degrees
I hope to one day be like your dad I have been buying tools now for 3 years I’m 24 and it’s my dream to be in his shoes he seems like a great man and deserves everything he has hard work pays off loved the video! Love from New Mexico
I appreciate the kind words. Yes, he definitely did work for it. I’ve been to New Mexico a few times, lovely place.
Been waiting for more 12 valve truck content, woo hoo! Bring it on.
Awesome!
great rip- great place ;-)
👍👍👍
What kind of windshield was that? Original Yamaha Touring or?
I think it’s a Puig
gorgeous out there
Ya nice area for sure
very nice shop only missing a bathroom. He worked very hard for all of it
Yes he did
meh ~ 25 - 30k for a glorified golf car? ~ No windows really figured for such cost? There's no trail in this vid my first 4 seat, with course tires ('89?) Club Car didn't do. And it had a ball washer for them hot days. (-: ~~~ Seats back to back all convo can be heard, well yeah..18mph. Fast 'nuff on farmland trails with my lifted chubby tires jobbie. ~ People purchasing these rigs farked things up not forcing companies to block out the weather as standard equipment. eesh, taking cover from Red box storm wasn't the greatest deep woods. ~ Move to smaller trees area 'n crack a brewski in prayer..as the smaller forest folded over forty meters off.
Comparing this to a golf cart is like comparing a Volkswagen to a Ferrari. I know what you’re saying about weather protection, but having all that weight up top really adds to the body and makes the handling not so great.
@@StockyBaldman huh, good point. Next time I'm being chased in my Jeep Rubi I'll remember to roll the windows down. (-: ~ ~ That's probably my problem with the newer side by sides. Besides all the 18mph beating around on two of my lifted golf cars, I didn't spend even 20k for my '06 Rubicon/dual top. Maybe I best wait a couple years for a Farmer Brown version with flip down/roll up plastic windows. ~ Silly for me to babble on. One year I saved outside rainy July weekend fun by adding a tarp over roof top branches held by bungee cords. ...big ol' awning was just enough to remain dry cruising the 200 acre Gramp's old digs farmland/woods. And that was without any pre-planning, just shot from hip thang. For most part it's been private lands riding the golf cars/Jeep (carts gots no engine) with too much drinking, so it's been more slow cruising. No hazards as long as any wayward dogs don't sit on the gas peddle forgetting to turn off key. Jeeps on mild grades/trails? Did you know one could pop a Jeep in 4wd/ 1st gear 'n hop up on the roll bar and steer with Bare feet? (shoes not good for wheel material) ...right on up near 30° grade 'n down at idle. Too fun/relax. I named it Elephant Ride being such high view. ~~ blah blah. Have a great Independence Day SB.
oh yeah, nice winch. ~ Have you ever seen those packable jobbies one can stab/screw? to earth for winch use if no trees around? Heck with pushing.
Should have posted a video of my impossible rear Mitas RockRider with firm mousse swap for that Tubliss a few months ago. I’m sure there must have been some swearing involved.
Ya totally
Perfect ! Thanks for this video
Awesome, thanks for watching!
Love the old bikes
Me too
We should go for another ride soon.
Absolutely
Two hands on the wheel will.. help so much as an instructor I would tell 90% of people to use two hands ……seams like a non thing ,, but try. It
Great advice, you are right it makes a huge difference. I since learned how to lock myself in with a seatbelt and not have to hold on while I’m going around corners. The body roll on this thing is pretty bad.
@Stocky Baldman Have you thought about Plastic welding your 03 WR450f tank your self ? I plastic welded my 03 WR450F Tank using a 40W soldering iron. The kind of plastic on yours & my bike tank & plastics is called (High-density polyethylene) (HDPE) Basically no glues stick to this stuff at all !! I researched all about it before i began . I bought some 30-40cm long Blue thin triangular strips of this HDPE from eBay of wich there was many, its about 4-5 millimetres wide. I used the soldering iron to make a long groove (Trench) along the hair line crack in the tank but i didn't go all the way through the plastic, just deep enough to seal the bottom of the crack & then fold the plastic piled up on both sides back in on its self over the groove i made, a more powerful 100Watt soldering iron would have been better as i kept on having to let my iron heat up after each bit i did. A Heat gun with an attachment making the gun air hole smaller would be better, then you can lay the new plastic down over the top of that groove. I watched every Plastic Welding video on CZcams about HDPE welding especially plastic fuel tanks as i think they are all HDPE on motorbikes at least, I Scoured the internet for all information i could find, i looked into special sealants to put into the tank to seal it from the inside but most of what i could find online was for metal tanks. Anyway after you can sand excess off the area using course to medium to fine sand paper to make it look neat if you want, But it Works !! Just make sure you don't have a one way ball bearing valve on your tank lid breather hose like i did, it would let Air In But Not Out, The Stupid motorbike shop left my bike outside the back of the work shop in 38 Degree Celsius Sun shine & the Tank built up so much pressure it Burst open at the Weakest place - The Repaired Area! So now im gonna have to do it all over again. This time i will use a heat gun with that attachment to make the Gun Hole as small as a thick pen that i bought online & this time i might melt some short bits of thin wire into the plastic along the welded crack just to make it stronger. You just need to make sure there's No Oil or Grease or dirt on the plastic before plastic welding it. If i remember correctly online said that this HDPE Plastic melts at 300 Celsius, you can find some videos about guys doing the same thing to their plastic tanks on CZcams. I hope this has been of some small help to you. Don't forget our bikes hopefully will be worth quiet a bit of money in the future so Keep the old girl, Mine is Totally Rebuilt from the ground up & i even had the starter motor problem fixed by a machinist, the problem was 3 new starter motors kept being chewed up on the shaft spline because on the 03 there is a part that can be taken off the engine without having to remove the whole engine next to where the starter motor engages, this part has a hole in the engine casing that has a shaft go into it, well this hole in the casing where that shaft goes in gets worn so the shaft wobbles a bit, enough to make the starter motor spline not engage tight enough without eventually chewing up another starter motor spline, the machinist filled that hole with aluminium weld machined it back flat then re drilled the hole perfectly & Exactly so now there's no more play & the 4th new starter motor is working perfectly again. sorry if im not explaining it very well but i was told on the phone about it by a Good bike shop this time who was happy he didn't have to remove my new engine and took the part off the bike that needed to be fixed & took it to the machinist who did it, apparently the bike mechanic was so impressed by machinist's work he said he got a hard on... hahaha This is a problem that Yamaha addressed on the 04 and up models, so its an 03 issue only apparently. my new Safari tank has the radiator shrouds built into it making more room for fuel but i rather the look of the old tank with the separate radiator shrouds, so i will have another crack at it sometime no pun intended. I do still have a perfectly good Blue Acerbis 14 Litre tank sitting in the shed that i bought second hand from eBay it came off of a 03 Yamaha wr450f with 2 radiator shrouds, It cost me $330 AUD, i wonder how much it would cost to ship that to you ? im guessing your from Canada or the US & im in South Australia. any way you can let me know if you are interested, i Opted to go with the bigger Safari tank. so now I've got 3 spare tanks for my bike in the shed one still needing to be fixed again. Wish you good luck Stocky.... Brett...
Wow great info thanks! Yep I’m in Canada, really hoping to stay with a stock size tank as I usually go for shorter more technical rides. Have a great day!
@@StockyBaldman Hey there, sent you a email too with some pics of my bike after rebuild & 2 pics of that wrecking bike with Acerbis tank on it. I also have a small original tank in perfect condition you could have if interested let me know, Brett...
@bretts7085 Ya that would be amazing, thanks man!
@@StockyBaldman Hey there, i just sent you an email again, Brett...
I fearfully check pressures before each ride, and keep the electronic compressor on board. It's the cost of the rims if dented, plus the highway travel to the gravel that demands 20-25 rear and 18-20 front highway, with 14 gravel. Good luck.
These tires have a huge sidewall so airing down is pretty safe
I know a camera hides incredibly steep slopes like yours. At least the ground material wasn't sharp rocks if you fell over.
Yep very true
Awesome
Amazing tire
Nice
Good times!
What year is your WR? I had an aftermarket tank on mine and a I’m pretty sure it used the stock seat but I may be wrong. I also think the gas tank is still somewhere in my garage.
Mine is a 2003
My english is not enough to say what I think about your father and his shop.You are a lucky man.
I appreciate it
My having now watched a five year total of several thousand videos relating to bikes, focusing on dual sports, adventure, enduro and some cruisers, and also belonging to numerous Facebook groups relative to my interests, I have frequently seen criticisms of great looking bikes. If a bike like yours looks too pretty and nicely cared for, there's often an outpouring of nasty words about how you must never actually ride or do anything challenging. I agree that a great looking bike is nobody's business but the owner's, and encourage you to have it look the way you want. My three bikes get compliments, but not in the bush world. Have you investigated salvage suppliers in North America? It may be be very reasonable.
The only tanks Ive seen are used ones on ebay for a few hundred, big gamble on a 20 year old piece of plastic
Shaving 20+lb off a bike is impressive. Always cool to see an old girl fixed up. Just a shame they weren’t rd legal.
Ya it really was
Is it worth doing a Clake brake and clutch dual lever on the left side?
I think the standard way would be much easier to deal with in the nasty technical stuff
@@StockyBaldman not that you seem to need it, but I suppose the only other option then would be a rekluse with no clutch lever. And a left hand brake?
@ThisTall yeah that would definitely be an option
Man @23:27 If I had managed to wheelie all the way up that rock, it would have been so easy to go around lying about being a better rider than you guys lol. Not sure how you got a 3hr ride in to 30min with such long clips, it looks like you got the whole trail in there. That really was the perfect trail and pace for a great video. Great meeting you up there.
Absolutely man, great day!
also thought it was bad, but then I realized that if I pull it harder, it clicks and stays like that, I hope it helps
Nice, you got lucky
Bro I did the same exact thing 😭
Hahaha nice
Seriously impressive Ben. You have emerged a highly skilled and capable rider. And if those equal to you were to have their thumb and a couple fingers removed, I vote that they couldn't begin to match your capability. Thanks for taking us along. I could not manage ten feet of any of what you were on, but it was great to be a watcher.
I appreciate it!
Hey, it good to meet you. Nice video, we should do it again soon!
Absolutely man!
Just bought one license plate holder broke off twice snapped all the wires to the lights both times I gotta figure something else out it’s trash how they mount it
Oh crazy we see a ton of these at work and haven’t heard of any issues. Did you have a bad crash?
@@StockyBaldman no but I ride it pretty hard off road
@@StockyBaldman the whole extended plate with the extra brake light turn signals and plate use the two screws in the back of the fe taillight to hold it on. So two screws into a plastic light have to hold the weight
Your dad is great
100% go get some bark busters…. No looking back.
Ya probably will
Hello I’m looking for an atv , and I’m between a cf moto 800 2017 or a can am outlander 2006 Which one should I pick?
Tough call!
Love the dertbike man
Yep it is awesome
Crazy! Subbed to your channel right after your first post. Was building a PDD UTCK as well only with a sxe372, Hamilton stage 3 head. Bout everything else was very similar. Never noticed. My son has CP/Hemi left side he wears a wrist strap/hook when we go out riding. He’s got all his digits just has motor control issues due to the CP.
I appreciate the long term support, one of the originals! 💪💪💪
It'd be cool to find someone that maybe you can collab with that can make you a cool accessibility option. That would make it just a little bit safer for you. I imagine it must be nerve-wracking strapping a few CC to your body and then not 100% sure if the hand's going to slip or not. So happy you found that option with the brake thouugh
Thanks man!
Hello, Are you interested in testing our products? We would like to invite you to test the RMAX Full Windshield for your 2022Yamaha Wolverine RMAX4 1000
I appreciate the offer, I actually don’t own this machine my friend does and he already has a half windshield on the unit.
@@StockyBaldman Hi, thanks for letting me know
I’ve been watching your stuff for ages, I never noticed the gnarly hand until you called it out!
Oh ya it’s mangled
Interesting how you say some songs sound great while others do not as much. I have a similar problem but I’m my gear isn’t nearly as expensive as what you have. That amp is amazing, and delivers full power down to 11 volts on all impedances. Awesome setup you have nevertheless
Yeah, there was a certain type of base that did not respond well. I have read that the specs for the boxes on these subs is in a lot of peoples opinion.
*JBL recommends a size for sub box that a lot of people think is too small
@@StockyBaldman That makes sense, especially in a sealed box.
nice
😎
I have a 2 up which is over 1000lbs I run 13 psi in the rear 10psi in the front but again my Atv is super heavy
Wow that really is. Also 10 and 13 psi seems really high, max psi on my tires is 7
Thats not autocross its sprint race
Sprint race? This is most definitely autocross
@@StockyBaldman are you from USA because in Europe autocross is race on dirt track where 6 or more cars race wheel to wheel like rallycross but just on dirt
@@StockyBaldman and what you showed for europeans is sprint race 1 or 2 laps for best time
Oh wow crazy. I’m actually in Canada. Rally cross is on dirt here.
@@StockyBaldman we also have rallycross on dirt but in most time track is 70% tramac and 30%dirt
Well! Great variety of surfaces and slopes, very controlled and capable riding, strong commentary without endless specs,, good horizontal camera action to display the terrain ahead plus the front of the bike. Sounds good, and obviously allows high speed ground coverage along with torquey climbs. Well presented, Sir.
Thank you! I appreciate the comment
good shit bro
👍👍👍
@Stocky Baldman I subbed to your channel because i wanted to watch you do up your Yamaha WR 450F, What's happening with the WR ?? Are you still going to do it up or ? I have a 2003 WR450F. Brett from Australia..
I have run into a huge roadblock on that bike with not being able to get a new tank or plastics. I still ride it all the time and love it, but at this point I just ride it. I should film with it way more
