can it be honed and recoated like they do with nickel plated bores

Remove The pistons and use a glaze buster on the bores

Had the same sort of thing. I cut my losses and sold it. But stick with it mate ❤

Sorry to hear about the barrels. But I would have thought you would be able to find some decent used barrels on line. The engines on eBay are possibly just dirty and fine internally. If this is not possible perhaps you could hone or rebore the original barrels and get them re-coated if necessary? I had a similar problem with a ZXR750 and I replaced the barrels with second hand items successfully. If you try to use the barrels as they are or locally rework the surface it will burn oil. I wouldn’t feel down about it as it’s a common problem on old machines sat unused for years. It’s also a nice project you’re working on and definitely a worthwhile motorcycle to restore. I know it’s perhaps easy for me to say but the enjoyment you were and will continue to achieve is more important than thinking about the cost. Good luck 🤞

Having listened to the whole video through I realise you have the sc33 model ,but I can look into the options for you as we have many connections in classic field , Is it the just the barrel your not happy with or are there a number of issues your not happy about in the current engine , mileage , gearbox , cams , crank etc ?

Super labombastic fantastic skolastic 👑✌❤☺🦵🥰👃👂👌😘😍🤝🚦👽💕💋🦈🐘🐥🛳✈🦷💯😇🙏🥽⚓🐳🧠☀🌛🚀🚐💘🐬👀🤘👏👍

those flashy brake lights would distract me

Great Bike, Great Ride and that Cadwell Park looks like an incredible amount of tech fun over in BritainLand Here in DutchLand we have Zandvoort, Assen and many other smaller tracks. But none like Cadwell Park. Not sure how long Zandvoort is going to allow bikers run that track. Each year we get less and less time slots to ride. We are too loud, too dangerous, too politically incorrect etc. Yet younger riders need that track time. To become better riders and develop the right mentality.

Saw that advertised on facebook marketplace you must of grabbed it quick 😂

Bargain, great choice. Enjoy 😎

3200 for a clean, basically ready to ride new toy? you found a gem of a sale have fun trying to tame that thing

Well done lads, you give my mate the knee sliders I was the other one there, I also did a vid on it it was a good day out, still on the look out for a cheep cbr125 I can build over the winter

Hi Ryan bob your uncle your biggest fan

Man what rear shock would go in that BEAUTIFUL build??? 🤔🤔🤔

lovely video , 1 :03 at Mallory is very respectable , well done , nice video.. missing summer

Get a bandit

Nice video Sir Is your channel monetized ?

Hello Ryan i am your biggest fan love cruz

Hi it is me cruz

Yes indeed, the Nitron R3 is about £800. There is also the YSS with remote reservoir for a bit less money. The forks can be readily upgraded with K-Tech piston kits in OEM cartridges. At the moment it's money holding things up. But she will have posh suspenders one day!

you could try a Nitron for the shock.

Hi what tires and sizes did you use ?

Great video… I just bought a non running 1997 blade that hasn’t run since 2016! It’s sure gonna be a learning curve.. Thanks for the grandad tips 😄

❤❤❤❤❤

great video. i was hoping to see one of my zzr1400's on sale. i have a gen 2. im hoping to take a months holiday in 2024 and rent one. visit japan via motorcycle.

Excellent stuff, enjoying watching you do this. It's going to be a cracking track bike

Mine an 03 and has 48,000 and running strong

the flat edge on the exhaust might be what is called a 'D' i have a good friend who builds the top engines for the 250/350/500 classic TT bikes and he adds these in, apparently its for back pressure, stops the fresh fuel/air rushing out the exhaust in the slight overlap between the inlet opening and outlet closing. the flat edge might be something someone tried adding in to it? Just a thought. I can tell you know more than me watching this buuut its something I was getting told about recently :) Looking forward to seeing this getting some laps in

did you pull the choke when starting it first time, they like a bit of choke

Looking forward to the next installment

Don’t think that noise is your wheel bearings more likely to be the chain and front sprocket teeth when you’re spinning the wheel backwards but I could be wrong though

the comms made this to annoying to watch.

hahaaa dont know what on earth this is but fuckin yh

seriously??? the dash is easy to operate, just google aprilia rsv mille dash functions & there is no end to the instructions on how to use it.

Good luck with this, if it helps I had the same sort on a ST1100, and the best reward when u first start it up!Do it!

Mine is a grey import bike, the imports had the Yamaha tuning fork logo on the tank rather than Fazer or Yamaha

Haha ya ain’t getting ya knees down on a Mille at that speed mate

Aprilia rsv and Tuono rear brakes suck but honestly the front can throw you over the bars I had a few of the bikes

Cool ! good luck with the rebuild, looking forward to see how it competes with the Mille!

Good luck with the restoration, bikes of this age are great, but becoming almost impossible to get parts for (actually impossible in some cases with some parts). I have a 23y/o ZX9r, awesome bikes that they should do a modern version of imo, much better looking than a lot of modern machines, and just as quick, just not as fast, but who needs it to be!

What other bike can you get for 2 to 2500 to top the fazer, you can't there isn't one.

🍀 "Promo sm"

More petrol station faffs please, looked a good run out 👍

I was there on my first track day … I was on a red vtr with nobby on the back of my leathers I can’t see me anywere haha

Congratulations looks great 👍 have fun be safe

So you basically found a piece of crap. 😂 You can go to the Arizona motorcycle junk yard and find crap like this all day.

Nice!!!❤❤

Did he say it might start and only has 7000 track miles, great, must know what he is talking about then ! Wouldn't spent much on a 94, if its free then OK but not sort after at all so watch the budget imo

That 16 inch rim up front was a nightmare 😮

worth about 1300 bucks.
