Restore it as much as you can. Those old 90s crotch rockets deserve a second chance at life with an owner who is not a squid and will actually do maintenance on them.

I’ve got a 2001 ZX6. Needed some maintenance, but it’s incredibly comfortable, fast, and can easily go 1.5 hours on a trip

I was super fortunate to be given a 1994 ZX-11D. Unfortunately the engine was shot but I was happy to purchase a used engine in really good shape with 11000 mi on it, have it installed & after some other needed maintenance, it is a blast to ride with an incredible amount of power on tap!

Molasses works for cleaning rusty fuel tanks, dilute with water and leave to soak then rinse and dry with a hot air gun or airline. I used it on my 1997 vfr750 which had been sat for 8 years when I got it. You should be able to get it from a farm supplies store, it's used for horses. 😁

@@nedmilburn Remove the tank from the bike and plug the breather holes. Fill with the solution and leave to soak (mine took about 7days), then rinse and dry. I flushed the fuel lines through with fresh fuel then fitted a new fuel filter. There's plenty of information available about using molasses to clean fuel tanks if you search, it's not a joke. 🙂 👍

I had a pair of friends that had this exact bike and model they bought for $100. They got it running decent enough a crazy Friday man rode it cross country after he traded them a running Honda 3 wheeler and broken 2 stroke bike. The ninja was a PITA to work on but holy cow you have quite a project on your hands

Man, you love making life difficult! I owned and enjoyed the ZZR600 at one time. Seeing this brought back a lot of memories. I truly look forward to seeing where this goes. Just thinking out loud, I wonder if it's somehow possible to add EFI from a later model?

Hi Bob, Thanks for the feedback & view! There is a new video coming soon on this bike as I wrap this project up... The starter issue was the sprag clutch, there are little springs inside of it that broke. I have done the lube trick to a sprag on a BMW K100LT and had the same good fortune as you. That was one that was a lot more difficult to remove. 🔧

I really have enjoyed your content, really good flow and positive energy. I've just bought a Triumph sprint RS, 23 years old, 75k kms and in good running order .... unsure what to do with it, break it, sell it or street fighter it. My triumph tiger 800 is an excellent bike and ticks all the boxes I need it for .... but what to do with the RS?
@RodRidesWrenches
Жыл бұрын
Hi Simon, thanks for the feedback & view! The RS, although I never owned one, I understand to be a capable sport tour. If it's suitable you may want to go with more of an all weather setup for touring and put some more aggressive tyres on the Tiger to adventure off pavement. I road a Tiger 800 on and off the highway and was really surprised at how easy it was to ride it like an MX. - Good Luck!

Great new project! I’m really interested to see what you do with the tank. I saw electrolysis used on @brickhousebuilds and wonder if you’re going to employ that method. Seems like a great way to deal with the rust and save the paint. Keep up the great work Rod I really enjoy your videos
