Tip for that slider being tricky. put only one seal in, push through from the side that doesnt have a seal, go past the point where the outer ring goes into its grove and comes back out again until you can put the other seal in, then push it back - simple, works every time with no fiddling

The reason that the choke pull is too slack allowing the cable to snap back is either the screw cap under the rubber cap on the choke pull is loose, or the components are worn, if the components are worn undo the screw cap completely, cut a couple of fine slivers of plastic from a yoghurt carton or similar, about 1.5mm wide and 10mm long, with the screw cap out of the way slide the slivers between the metal pull shaft and the plastic body it slides into, effectively your making the pull shaft thicker, bend the last 2mm of the slivers at 90 degrees so they can’t disappear completely down into the plastic body, tighten the screw cap back on and it should work as new. PS I’m starting my own motorcycle KZitem channel, the day I can talk to camera as naturally as you do I’ll be happy, jeez it’s hard to sound normal 😂😂

41 years ago, I was riding my CB400T Hawk in Washington (State) coming home just after midnight, and the pull cable snapped. Because of the push-pull dual set up, I was able to undo the broken cable and swap over to the pull side from the push side at the carb rack and get back to Canada. Being at the side of the road in the dark with no flash light meant I had to do everything by feel, using the bike's stock tool kit. It was..."interesting" to have to relearn years of muscle memory and turn the throttle forward instead of backward and vice versa, but I still made it home lol.

Nowadays I have a 2003 Shadow Ace 750, and I'm trying to get myself into the mood to do some work to it: rejetting, changing the air breather, changing the sprockets and chain and the handlebar.

My front master cylinder won't like decompress when it's cold, it grinds down the brake shoes and makes the disc rotor get hot. Once everything gets hot then it will kind of release and work fine. Really wore out my new brake shoes I just put on it though. I'm thinking maybe some PB blaster from the outside into the pistons maybe once I take it off again and take the brake shoes out.

Think having both a push and pull cable is a US requirement but they are not universal in other markets (eg, my friends FZR400 we were recently working on only has a single throttle cable). On CV carbs probably a non issue. On some slide carbs it can be more of an issue, with intake vacuum at high revs pulling the slides hard enough against the carb body that they stick. Now you have the new workshop you have space to store a good supply of metric nuts and bolts ordered in bulk. Fortuntely in the UK metric stuff is easy to get (but for imperial bolts we had lots of standards, Whitworth, BSF, BA, etc). Master cylinder looks similar to early CBR1000F, so maybe from a Honda from around 1990 onwards 0 CBR600F2 looks very similar with an adjustable lever and a 1/2" bore. A year or 2 ago I fitted a spare 11mm bore Brembo master cylinder to my Aprilia AF1 Sintesi (single disk with a 4 piston caliper). Popped to my local bike meet (~8 miles each way). Brakes were VERY sharp - to the extent I would probably have locked the wheel and fallen off before I realised what had happened if I had to brake in an hurry. I swapped the master cylinder off again as soon as I got home. Opposite problem with a Bimota which used Brembo calipers with a Yamaha master cylinder - ratio was out and the brakes were very dead feeling (fixed with a master cylinder from an Aprilia Falco 1000).

@@BrickHouseBuilds THE GUY SAID IT RAN NEEDED A BATTERY? Then nothing,....still need to look in the cylinders,... no spark plug's in it. Then I'll see what I need to do after that. I got a new starter relay but the wires look like their for a 100 cc bike. (thin I'll count the wires) and I bought another throttle grip control because the kill switch had no resistance, it was a rattle. I thought the kill switch might be breaking the circuit? I put high handle bars on my KZ550 10''. I lengthened my wire's but,....how do you measure the clutch cable and throttle cable for size,.....that's the hold up on that bike. Are you measuring the cable or casing? On my VT 500 The front forks are bent,...or the triple tree's. What would be the best place to source parts for that? And yes your video's are inspiring. But every situation and bike is different. Like I can't find the right sight window for the master cylinder on the magna.

@LETME-kl9jg I think you missed the message of the video I sent. It is to show a way of thinking and not about just fixing a headlight. I even stress how you should avoid asking questions on Facebook because you get terrible answers. Google is your friend to help you read about your issues. Stop buying parts and buy a service manual and multimeter if you don't have one. Diag before buying parts.

When you put your brake master cyl in the ultra sonic tank i did not see you remove the cylinder piston assembly with the rubber seals. Water degreaser and detergent on those old seals will turn them into paste..

In the last 6 years I've yet to experience any paste you speak of. I normally clean seals and such in the tank and bring them back to life.

That's a matter of opinion. When you compressed the lever after you took it out of the sonic tank a bit of sludge blew out . If you took out the piston assembly i take my words back. But in truth anytime you hot tank a braking componet you must completley disassemble it remove all rubber seals pistons etc . This is not my opinion but from people that do this as a service.The old seals should be discarded . Rebuild kits are availiable for this make master cyl. I have been in the industry for over45 years this is just common knowledge.

Entertaining video. I'll stick to using my airline to release the brake pistons as the grease method just wastes too much grease for my liking. 😕 My first European bike tour was me + girlfriend on my XS750 and my mate + girlfriend on his CX500 in 1979. After around a 1000 miles we all noticed his rear drive hub making a scraping noise. After another 1000 miles all drive to the rear wheel was gone as the splines were completely ground away and we were still 1400 miles from our home in the UK. Those were the days!

Yeah Im glad I eventually noticed it. The fuel was not supposed to be red. It was also cloudy and I believe it gained its color from the fuel jug. Ive never had that happen but can't confirm it was high quality fuel.
