Times are changing and I'm firmly happy in the past. Many years ago I was a backstreet grease monkey, these were the times where to fix an engine you could get in the engine bay along side the it and spanner away.
Now we are computer controlled and changing a spark plug requires several special tools and a astrophysics degree. NO I say, lets get back to basics or failing that teach me some new skills, either way we will have some fun.
I may not be Henry Cole, Allen Milyard or even Billie Eilish but with a good music tune playing in my head, a good WWE type wrestle with a rusty bolt, I will get these bikes back on the road even if sometimes the job can be a bit of a beast.

Alot of pdr guys use long bars and push out the dents too. You could try going through filler cap if you've got an adequate bent rod
@@BANDIT_NOOB that's a good shout, just assumed it would be doubled skinned 👍
Sorry for the headache! What a shame.
It’s getting there. Hope you don’t loose anything on it at least. Can’t believe you still have that Thundercat! That’s a cool old thing and so cheap. I just haven’t got the money or I’d be tempted. Glad the channels going well.
@@blacktopmediauk Hi mate, new video on it tomorrow hopefully lol. The Thundercat is getting interest then people just don't show up ☹️ actually taking a loss on it now but you can't win them all.
@@vroomroom1 really? What’s not to like?! 100bhp, adjustable suspension, 4 piston brakes and a sports-tourer leaning, rather than outright sports bike. What’s wrong with people?
I appreciate the pain you have taken on our behalf.
Jay, gotta say you’ve done a bang-up job there. Out of curiosity what was the mileage on the bike when you got it ? Was it stored outside too. There’s a lot of crud inside the bike so I’m guessing it’s done a lot of wet mileage in the UK. This series you’ve published has taught me a lot too!
ST1300 2003 had black wheels. I used to comment to my buddy who had one. My 2004 ahas silver wheels.
@@pentachronic ah, never knew that and it makes sense. Did prefer the silver though 🤔
@@vroomroom1 You still did a fantastic job on it and it looks great!
BTW my buddy (who’s unfortunately passed away from medical issues) used to comment that the black wheels are faster and I used to tell him the silver was because the light pushed it more! Good memories. He’s the guy who switched me on to the ST and it was a great choice.
I’m about to do a tyre change so the back wheel is coming off. Going to put moly paste on the splines and grease the axle. Whilst watching your series I was thinking it might be worth you considering using electrolyte grease for your electrical bonding points since you deal with the wet more in blighty. At least it’s something to consider on your next service time.
@@pentachronic going to review a cheap tyre changer this week, sick of messing around without one. Ordered some moly paste, a few people now have had good thing to say about it. Hope the wheel change goes smoothly for you 👍
For hoses I find it useful to get some grease pencils (Yellow, red and blue) and label as you go. Start off with 1A, 1B, etc and then move to the 2’s, 3’s etc as you go. Helps. Taking photos also since you can document this easily in the future. Nice work.
@@pentachronic great tip, will give that a go 👍
Sweet. Thanks for documenting for the rest of us. Hope it’s all fixed and running now!
@@pentachronic hi, thanks for watching, it's all finished and it has a very happy owner 👍
I actually prefer these better than the pan,
@@mrmoon1482 They do have a strong following. The pan is a very heavy bike, wonder if that goes against it 🤔
@@vroomroom1 is the insurance a lot more for the pan? I was considering the deauville 700 I’m in a bit of a pickle which to buy as I’ve found one of each with similar low miles,
@@mrmoon1482 would have thought it would be a fair bit more to insure the pan as it's a much larger CC. The Deauville is lighter and overall the running costs would be less 👍
6.04 reminds me , i really need to call her
@@chriswilliams9832 😂 that definitely wins comment of the month 😂
I passed my A license on an old ER6N and what a pile of cr- I bought a Yam FZ8 shortly after and what a bike, I went to a Fireblade then Busa and all incredible, I've been tempted by a Z1000 but never truly liked the Kawa styling or the green.
Always on the lookout for a Busa, hopefully one day will get one on the channel 👍
It's an ER-6N, the N = Naked and F = Faired, I had a 2006 ER-6F and it's a reliable workhorse, wonderful to ride, I'd swap my VFR800 Gen 5 for one any day.
Never knew that, thanks for the info, lots of parts on order and looking forward to riding it 👍

Some illegal alien wanted to become a stuntah so he steals a bike and fvcks it up for a month or two. Then he steals a better one and this one goes to auction.
Your stately home looks lovely. Can't your butler help you?
@@thelatemickb6927 lol 😂 I wish, given him the week off,
that was a training school bike, I recognise the signs
@@TommyTucker0 could be right, but I'd hate to think of anyone on the roads who rides that bad lol
@@vroomroom1 having been a full time motorcycle instructor for 27 years I’ve seen a few 🤣
I like the way in your thumbnail you scribble out the bike so we can't recognise it and then put the make and model of the bike in the title.
It looks like a fuel additive that has been added to the tank, they tend to gel up after a while.
@@spinaway not a bad shout, was weird, had rust blocking one before but this looked like old locktight 👍
I'm wondering if all that red flakey crap is from it being refueled from a dirty petrol can
@@LowtherSport that's not a bad suggestion 🤔 didn't think of that 👍
Guessing a stolen and recovered bike that's been wragged across fields by the look of it. Unless it was a blind auction, you can't complain too much lol
@@BANDIT_NOOB it will be okay, I have low expectations when I bid and it's always a gamble, just didn't think it would be quite this bad
@@vroomroom1 does it have any declarations against it? Like being stolen or written off? If not, and you got it cheap enough, at least you stand a chance of getting your money back
@@BANDIT_NOOB it's stolen recovered, most I get are so no massive surprises. But it was cheap, but saying that I did order over £300 in parts yesterday.
That's a part bike if ever i saw one.
If it was any older I would agree, might still end up one, but have to give it a shot to bring it back👍
@@vroomroom1 Yeah. It did clean up well.
where is you key?! That is how you remove the seat
The toothbrush scene made me laugh 😂
@@bailephib glad you enjoyed it lol, thanks for watching 👍
I’ve an offer of a 05 for cheap and I want to understand the bike better. Your videos really helped. Thank you. 😊
I used nuts and bolts in my VFR750 tank and then Evaporust followed by a tank sealing compound. Never had a problem after that. The Deauvilles are great bikes, I had the 650 for a couple of years and aside from maintenance I never had to do anything to it. 95 mph and 70 mpg, and a nice light bike with good weather protection.
@@peter7624 glad you got it sorted, there seems a few good ways that work. How long was yours standing to rust?
@@vroomroom1 I can't be sure, I bought it used from a dealer. It could have been a long-standing problem, but I like my bikes to be right, so it had to be done.
Very good and nice job you have made Thanks for the film hope for more 😊😊
@@c-31100 thanks for the kind comments and thanks for watching 👍

@@northerner1374 This one is on marketplace, a lot are just friends bikes 👍

@@davekintz7170 thanks Dave, will post a picture, it cleaned up well but think the rear wheel would benefit from a full refurb 👍
@@vroomroom1 Great!
Fantastic Job you do 😊 impressed
@@c-31100 thanks for the comment much appreciated 👍
My “ears” are drilled and tie wrapped as well as the bmw fixings to stop theft etc. there’s a how to vid on here to do the clutch
@@steveclews6557 the aftermarket mirrors are not the best fit, used a bit of duct tape underneath as well just for added rigidity 👍
Pretty easy to work on 👍👍👍👍
@@steveclews6557 I agree, just could have been designed more with DIY maintenance in mind.
I bought a 2004 650 Deauville that had been parked in a garrage for 12 years , i had to have the carbs ultrasonicaly cleaned before it would run.With a new Mot it cost £170. Over the next year it needed 2 new michelins, a new fuel pump, new fork seals. But a superb bike 70 mpg 75-85mph cruseing, top speed aprox 105 ish. Very good quality nice bike!!!
@@user-uw6yz7hi4m that's good to hear mate, they are mostly bulletproof. Sounds like you got a good one 👍
Saturday (20th) my new to me BMW R45 arrived, it will be 40 years registered on the 8th August. Has all it's MOT's to back up its mileage of 4500. Put 100 miles on it on Sunday, though not at any speed as the front brake is terrible! New pads and braided lines ordered. Good luck with your purchase, get some miles on it!
@@elan2302 that sounds like a great buy, hopefully that will sort the front brake. Thanks for watching 👍
Will be following this closely, as I just picked up an R1150R, for the less than the price of two tyres, with similar issues.
@@peterk2455 thanks for watching Peter 👍
Best cheap way of cleaning a rusty tank is harpic power plus 10x black one £2 or less per bottle ( look at the ingredients look for the one with the higher concentration of hydrochloric acid you need the 9g one not 5g), fill it with a full bottle of that and warm water, then just leave or if its really bad add some nuts and shake about after an hour or two of sitting. it will have been the water the e10 fuel attracts when left sat. no need to coat the inside just fill with fuel, or add a small amount of light oil and shake about to coat the inside until you need to add fuel.
@@simonjudd1 was considering Harpic, used it before on exhausts 👍 thanks for the comment.
Good rescue......next episode , at A& E , getting the tank removed from me hand .....😂😂😂😂, Great vid as always 👌
@@tritontwo9687 genuinely made me laugh out loud, not far off the truth either 🤣
Pity the tank wasn't stored full as it wouldn't have rusted anywhere near as badly. If you want a non acidic way of de-rusting the tank you can use black treacle diluted with water. It takes ages, is really cheap and works really well, but it's very slow. If you want to speed it it up, you can buy commercial versions like Evaporust or Nitromors Non Hazardous. The great thing about the non acidic rust removers is they don't attack the base metal, they just remove the rust. Really good for thin sheet steel parts like petrol tanks.
@@jeremyr62 some great advice there, thank you. Not sure which direction I will go in yet but you've diffently given me something else to consider 👍
I sold my 2003 Deauville 650 about 8 weeks ago, looked everywhere for a 700, but couldn't find the right bike, so i ended up buying a 2015 NC 750 S, had i waited 2 weeks i would have made a bid on you're 700, just could not wait. someone will snap it up. thanks for sharing.
@@spinaway that's a shame but the NC's are good bikes and are relatively bulletproof 👍
Hi there, how much will you be asking for the 700, and where do you live? Thanks Steve
@@stephenleadbitter9820 Hi Steve, I'm in Kent Uk, as for a price will have to make sure it runs ok first and see how it turns out. Will contact you when it's done in a couple of weeks and see if your interested. 👍

Hi Jay, I watch a lot of the Mecum and Barret Jackson auctions from the states, and you are definitely right about the cars that we, of a certain vintage, think of classics not reaching the prices they once did. Conversely, the 90's car prices are going through the roof. I think it is probably the older generation passing away and the next generations focusing on what they are nostalgic for.
@@WoodyMotorcycleEnthusiast it's such a shame and I do hope those older cars find a good home and are looked after. Hope you are well my friend 👍

Still not much wrong with it overall I just did my clutch, abs removal, tires , cam chain tensioner, fuel filter and a bit more on my 2003 1150 RT. Its just maintenance. still tons of miles on it yet.
@@christophermcnally8782 seems a common thing to delete the ABS. Must have been a real issue with these bikes. Thanks for watching 👍
