four paws good. two paws two wheels better.

For an engine that's been neglected, i like to give it a bit of oil down the spark plug hole before cranking. Not a whole lot, just lubricate the piston rings while the engine's own oil starts flowing again

I had a 350 xl single. My mate had a cl350. The cb450 had some real grunt. The 750 was a magic carpet ride....

I have one of those bikes in my garage, waiting to be refurbished. nice work! the one thing that has most recently given me fits is doing a voltage drop test on the ignition system. I was getting a 12 volt reading...... ok, so it has been 15 years since I did this last. I wanted to see .2 volts or maybe even zero..... cleaned and replaced some connectors and now it has spark. on to the carbs.

My best friends dad bought a '70s 360 honda to run to work. My friend quickly claimed it and we went all over PEI. I had an 84 interceptor. We named the Orange Honda Piglet.

Don’t know how I missed this one. Going to be a big help as I have two project bikes I’m trying to resurrect.

Since it's a Honda this is all hypothetical.

Idk if you noticed, but your spark plug is wiggling all over the place when you kickstart the bike.

I watch your videos because I own a motorcycle and I want to learn something, but man, the video edit and the thought you put into each one its outstanding. Thank you for sharing this content.

gurpreet bajaj Prieš mėn

Is it a good idea to put a few drops of engine oil through the spark plug cavity to lubricate the dry, possibly rusted cylinder before cranking the engine?

Check the oil before you crank it.

Re-building a VT500C Shadow. First time ever for me, to get into the innards of a bike. Your various videos are invaluable, and I'm learning lots and losing the fear of taking things apart... Thanks for that!

It's a honda. If honda made gasoline it's probably start, but they don't, so new gasoline usually does the trick.

Just got my first motorcycle! It’s got 48k miles on it, but doing a front brake overhaul, oil, plugs, fuel tank, and shifter fixes, this thing has ran. Too bad spring break is right now because I can’t start the bike under her own power and own gas tank. (Petcock was bad)

R C Nelson Prieš 3 mėnesius

All good stuff. This is also a great reminder of what a sweet bike that Honda was, and is.

Jaron Lindow Prieš 3 mėnesius

As long as you've got the spark plugs out anyway, spray a generous amount of WD-40 into the cylinder to free stuck rings. Preferably the day before trying to turn the motor over.

akenji47 Prieš 4 mėnesius

as owner of an old RE bullet i'd say: 1 check the spark cable and ignition coil for rust. 2 carefull opening the gas tap, sometimes it can leak. 3 that's it. on these oldies if there's spark and gas, its gonna run!

I have a benelli tnt 25, and i think i have a power drain in the 2 wires that come out of the ignition switch, so please tell me, does those 2 wires have current ( read 13.2 volts )...... A plus, when i connect my battery, the dashboard lights up briefly, is this a normal operation of the system, or do i have a short circuit?

Any ideas on rebuilding brake calipers on the cheap? A set of seals for my bike is something like $100, was wondering what I were to do if they went out of stock one day. It's just an effin piece of rubber at the end of the day. 😕

Well done! Same blue color as my first bike-‘71 CL Honda 450. I would also check gas tank for rust. Having restored ‘74 Norton 850 Commando, restoration is more a labor of love vs. dollars and cents.

CB360T, probably one of the most useful and practical bikes ever built for the average city and suburb rider. Easy to handle, frugal, elegant, comfy seat, easy to store, park, nimble, mechanically reliable, cheap to insure because they are some of the safest rider/bikes by a half century of statistics.

ViniBreda90 Prieš 6 mėnesių

Sorry but, why dont just use the spark plug to check if there's spark? Cuz it can be bad and not show spark even though the bike is producing spark?

ViniBreda90 Prieš 6 mėnesių

@FortNine Ohhhh, got it, it makes sense! Ty for the answer!!

FortNine Prieš 6 mėnesių

The screwdriver trick is handy if you want to check for spark before bothering to pull the plugs out. If it doesn't spark, you know the problem is elsewhere and need not yank the plugs. ~RF9

minecrafter9099 Prieš 6 mėnesių

You forgot one of the most important things, usually the combustion chamber is dry, so in the first runs it's a good idea to "enable" the choke, so that more gas can enter the chamber

Ryan I need a favor. I know it's an older motorcycle but it's a damn good one and deserves more attention. Could you please do a review on the 1984 through 1986 Honda Nighthawk cb700sc? It was a bike ahead-of-its-time that was killed prematurely!

Currently working on a honda ST50G from my father. It's now sitting for 22 years , but the tank is rusty and full hose are in too bad condition. This week (07.27.20) the parts are coming and soon the ST50G will run once more .
