I fix, repair, rebuild just about anything. From Motorcycles, cars, lawn equipment, out board motors, boats, TV's, washing machines, stoves etc.
I am in Sales now, but was a mechanic for 20 years. Motorcycle & maintenance mechanic which means anything & everything.
Also renovate homes and built a small house a couple years ago with a friend.
I rebuild on average one motorcycle every year and a half. My last project for 2013/2014 was a 1980 GL1100. A Full dresser to a naked Goldwing. Previous to that was the 1978 KZ1000 A2A.
This winter's project is going to be a quite a bit different.
My current project is a 1970 Norton Commando 750. It needs a total restoration.

this brought back memories! glad I found this video
Thanks. I just went through the same process on my 83 SECA Although I did not recondition the pads. Solid pressure in system but stopping is poor. I guess I need to either replace or recondition pass?. I hope I don’t have to drain down the system again it was a bitch!
Seems like something I would create. Gotta do what you gotta do. I have an engine I need to break into....every little bit helps what I don't know. If everyone was a bike mechanic, there would be no need to pay those with special tools. Of course the ones who don't get your money thinks this is stupid....lol.
Hardware store. … that little flat seal in the end sure looks like a faucet seal?. HW store has packets of faucet seals that have multiple sizes in them. And cheap.
Really enjoying your videos on the ventures. I have an old 1984 that has been neglected. I know a way around motorcycles, but this is my first venture and it’s a real basket case. Your videos have been very helpful.. what I really appreciate is your commentary as you go along not so much explaining how to do something but why you’re taking this bolt off or that cover off. Which is perfect for a fellow like me I need to know why not so much how. Great stuff.. Whole hearty thank you from NorthWest AB.
Thank you, I am going to do another video soon on removing the carbs and replacing the choke plungers or starter jets. They shrink up or deform after 40 years and fuel leaks by causing a rich running and poor gas milage. they are expensive and hard to find parts.
@@MOAB I reviewed one of your other videos for re-re the carbs. Big thumbs up on that one. I got through all my carbs. Terrible terrible condition. The ultrasonic cleaner worked but took multiple cycles to get the jet cleared. There was one pilot jet I was unable to remove, in so tight and for so long that the head stripped off by the screw driver. Able to blow through it though. I did remove and clean all the choke assemblies. Did not notice any swelling or leak potential issues on this one. Only thing on the carbs I have not done yet is the balancing with vac gauges. That I do not know how to do nor do I have a gauge set to do it.
I am looking to balance my carbs on a similar SECA 900. I thought that the YICS requires that you plug the channel that balances vacuum across all carbs. I read that you will get the same reading unless you use the tool to block the individual YICS ports???? How did you make out without doing that? DId it run as expected?
You got me thinking now, that was a while ago, and no I am not satisfied with the way it is running. The float is sticking on carb one and I have to remove them again and I will balance them again and check my manual for that. I think you may be right. thank you B
You are right, my memory fails me after 40 years. I just checked my shop factory shop manual and you do need the special tool P/No 90890-040681 to block off the YICS. I will make one or see if I can find one and add it to this video. Thank you.
Did that in ‘74”
would have been great to know how the lock ring came off yours.
Torch tip cleaners work good on plugged up jets. Just go easy, they are tiny round files. Once or twice in and out call it done. If you go too many times it will change the shape and size of the jet hole.
I realize 4 years have passed- did you get the switch in your starter? I just pulled my fLHTCU out of the barn and started cleaning it up (I put it away when my wife got cancer- couldn’t risk being injured and not taking care of her- but now I’m ready to ride again).
Your thumbnail for video has been hacked.
Thanks for this. 👍. I have resurrected a 1984 venture royale. Runs stronger and stronger each time I ride it. So much better that am now getting clutch slip when I really lean into the throttle. I am thinking the slave cylinder may be gunked and sticking. The clutch lines were completely dry when I started the project. Am also getting light smoke on muffler in that area. So it may be leaking brake fluid on the muffler. Not enough to leave a puddle under the bike, but enough to smoke a bit in that area when riding. Probably leaks only from cycling the clutch while riding. Plan to take it out and clean it and change seals. I hope that fixes any stiction causing the slipping and the whispy smoke from that area. I will also open the clutch cover the check and clean discs as well as replace the clutch springs during the same maintenance session. Should be a 3 beer long job, the slave cylinder and the clutch springs.
Beautiful work! Are you listing the RV for Sale?
no, I'm going to keep it for now.
👋👋👋👋
is that a citation ,it has the same layout as mine!
No Travelaire made in Strathroy Ontario. There are at the top end of class C motorhomes at the time, I was told by an old RV salesman.
@MOAB thats to funny I'm from Windsor Ontario,my citation was built in Oliver bc by general coach,strathroy is about 2 hours give or take from Windsor itz near London Ont
where can I get a set of those mufflers?
“What’s this”? That’s where I stopped the video 🤣😂🤣🤮
If you want to sell your gk seat, I will buy it.
What kind of carburetor was in that bike?
could you go any slower
Thanks for this video. I have been resurrecting an abandoned ‘84 VR. It sat for over a decade. This helped me figure out the carbs plan before going in. These ones here were a horrible mess of tank rust dust and green scale. An ultra sonic cleaner Got er done and cleaned up the jets. The Bike runs. After test rides, it feels like I will have to do carbs again. The tank is badly scaled inside. Am on 3rd fuel filter change in just 75 miles of driving. Any ideas about what to do about the tank would be helpful.
I think I would drain & remove the tank. That is no easy task. Then pour about a cup more less of drywall screws into the tank. Shake very vigorously, roll and turn, than do it again and again. Than flush tank out with gasoline or lacquer thinner or cleaners. Than thoroughly dry before using a tank sealer. I use POR 15 tank sealer and have had good luck with is but some people use other tank sealers. Good luck, it's a dirty job. Bruce
@@MOAB Any ideas of how to clean the tank in place? I was looking at draining the tank, removing the level gauge bung, fill with water and perhaps a mild acid, then setup a powerball on the pressure washer or a swirler of some kind on a drill through the bung hole. Vacuum out with a shop vac after a few hours. Repeat as needed until it “looks” better. I am not committed to keeping the bike, yet. So wanting to keep the time investment to a minimum. Tank removal is least desirable option. When I did ride it though, loved it. For a fairly large heavy bike it sure is nimble and easy to handle.
@@billybobbarker3175 I have never tried this, but a lot of people swear by it. czcams.com/video/ICW01HFbaxc/video.html
I’ll bet you they stripped the drain plug bolt. Otherwise at that mileage there’s no way it would be off or leak otherwise. The front cavity goes under the front crank case and when I had mine off to replace the water pump mechanical seal it seemed apparent to me that it keeps the clutch bathed in oil as it resides at the front of the engine.
What pressure would you put the anti dive bolts in to seal to the fork?
4 minutes and eighteen seconds 1971 Moto-ski Grand Pix I have been looking for one of these for years!
Thank you! This truly helps me with my heritage 94. Also had problems finding those cablekits.. cheers from Sweden
Glad it helped
Are these still feasible to tour on as far a parts accessibility or are they getting to rare?
You can still get most parts for them because the used that engine base in the v-max and venture for so many years. They are a pretty bullet proof bike if you keep up with the maintenance.
the square seal can be replaced. it was the one that was leaking for me. i replaced it with a regular oring.... not optimal but it works ^_^
Those cases suck ...hell weak ...shitty cases you want mid 90 Evo the best
You should have seen the 550 engine I did a couple of years ago. I had never seen so much corrosion between the cylinder base and the studs. I had to beat the ever loving hell out of them to get them off. Replaced the case and both cylinders because of that.
Wish mine was that easy to get out.
What about head light holders ?
This bike has the halo style. It was only used for 2 years on the Commandos. You will see it in the following videos.
Thanks for posting, my 98 Ultra rear cylinder rocker box started leaking recently and was trying to figure out if I needed to pull the engine or remove the front mount to gain access to the top cover bolts. Im going to go with a hex bolt to make it easier next time.
Hack, stripping screws, breaking c clips, whaling on mounts with chisel and hammer. Tsk ...tsk
Didn't share work on the bike. All talk .
Have you redone the clutch yet on the 83 I need that video LOL.
No, that bike is long gone. thx for watching.
I could be wrong but you may have put the damper rod seat on upside down. I've been scouring the internet, however, and i can't quite find a definitive example of how it should go on. In all the diagrams that I have found it shows the opposite of how you did it.
I just double checked that and I thought you were right for a minute. I was checking the online parts diagrams at some sights that showed it the way you were suggesting, than I went out to my garage and checked the factory manual and it showed it the way I installed it. I will try to send you a picture to your CZcams address.
I don't see your email address on your channel, but you can send me a quick email and I can forward the diagram from my manual. thank you for watching Bruce bowen@cogeco.ca
Nice Video, I was looking at picking up a used one, after the comments, not so sure I will bother Did you do as you said you were and get it running better? Mr Lightfoot was trying to send a message "When you reach the part where the heartaches come The Hyundai would be it But Hyundai's often fail"
15 minutes in & I'm already frustrated 😅 Not you, just the older bikes. I thought about getting one of these for some comfort riding with the wife... but this reminds me why I went to fuel injection 😅
You must be new to keeping chickens. Two nesting boxes is more than enough for three or four hens, it is actually enough for up to 6 or 7 chickens. Most hens share the same nesting box, they like to lay their eggs most of the time in a nesting box where other hens have laid their eggs. I had four nesting boxes for 12 hens and they never used more than 3 of them.
And when I pulled mine out the concave part was facing the motor
So I have a 06 roadglide drag spec 383141 clutch kit it seems like it always wants to stays engaged even when I have the clutch pulled in when it’s in gear. Do I have to take out the damper spring ? And just leave the concave one in?
If you add an Amazon link in the description of the coop and someone clicks the link and buys it Amazon will give you a percentage of the money
Those baby chicks are too young to be out at nighttime temp at 40 without supplemental heat
They made it. I through a big outdoor double cushion over the whole thing and checked on them and they weren't even bunched up for heat. It was quite toasty in there. Much warmer night now.
Couple years ago I had to chicken sit a lady was moving so she brought over the chicken coop and I had chickens for like a year.. I ate a lot of eggs
I am trying to eat more myself. I am on a high protein diet, low carbs. It suppose to help my arthritis .
👍👍
Great vid. Did you buy the two bearings as a kit so that it came with the lower dust cover? If so, could you share a linke?
I really can't remember now, but I buy most of my parts on Ebay.
I'm working on my 83 xls Roadster now. You're videos sure have helped.
I got mine running immediately after rebuilding the carbs, I bought a synching set of gauges to sync the carbs. I have the repair manual to know rpm’s, and what order to sync but not sure why 3/4 are so far off from 1/2 and feel like I’m going back and forth like a weigh scale trying to get them even in range. Can someone give me any pointers to even start in the right spot?
I thought I did a video on syncing them. The one carb is fixed, adjustable. You start there and sync the carb tied to it, than jump over to the other bank and sync the carb adjacent to the 2nd carb once those are synced than the 4th carb is synced to the 3rd one
@@MOAB I have the shop repair manual and yes that is correct. I feel like I’m making it run worse getting them closer to each other and it’s doing a popping thing when you snap the throttle and let off and even when it idles, I’m getting some popping like maybe a little back fire. Carb 2 also has a very tight choke assembly. I took it apart and cleaned it but it seems like it’s still sticky. Does it just need to be replaced? I found one on eBay for $34 and thinking about replacing that one
@@MOAB I don’t see a video on syncing carbs on your channel after scrolling all the way through
@@keithjackson3111 I will look, I was sure I did one a few years ago.
Thank you. Nice touch with the transmission paper oil level dipstick idea for future use 👍
Great Venture…..I’ve got a 1985 with over 80k (miles) I drove it cross country with my buddy’s Gold Wing and it did fine.
