The most informative motorcycle repair channel on YouTube! Thank you.

Fantastic, it's great to see you working in such a professional way. Wish all mechanics worked in this way. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. It gives people like me with no clue how things work, some idea of what you guys do💯👌😎👊

[matthewlindgren]

This guy is great, gave me great advice on my ZZR1200!! Big shout out

[gerardfenn]

Good Job!! You sure know your stuff. Just learned a little today and that makes it a good day. Have a G'Day Jim.

Great rebuild that on the carbs with lots of small pieces and it came up very clean compared to the gunk you started with.

[MrOutOfTheVoid]

Life/Work balance is often hard to get to even out so great to see a video from you.

The bit about eye wash got me laughing so much, Recently purchased a very poor runner 1999 R1 in the process of cleaning the carbs had to make a dash in side for the kitchen sink a few times, Not fun 😂

I think it would be funnier if you replace the F Bomb with Muck it up, your cousins from across the pond love it when you Brits say this. 😂 Just a thought, my kids love your videos also.

You're always the best! Still big thank you for the ABS removal on my GS... I'm probably a teeny tiny part of the reason why you've been so busy this summer 😃 Thanks Jim!

I don’t blame you for not wanting to ride it. That Yamaha sounded a lot like my one owner GSX1400 K2 when i had the standard cans on it. Hardest carbs I’ve dealt with were on the gen1 GSXR1100 in terms of removal / install, especially if the intake and airbox boots have gone hard. I tend to bench test carbs to check needle / seat function before installing the rack. Anyways, now going to watch the Slack Bird

My go to carb cleaner is a good long soak in brake fluid, I find it works great for shifting petrol gum from body's and jets

[kamsmag]

Wish you could tell us what you use to clean the carbs. I thought this is an instructional/knowledge sharing channel. Amazing results with your carb cleaner...

[emma.isthislive]

Welcome Back. Always look forward to your content, please be aware how much I enjoy the thoughtful, methodical and clean approach that you take to your work. I'd be happy to have you work on my bike. Thank You.

Combustion Chamber Cleaner for the win! Looks like SeaFoam from the top of the can ;)

*Yamaha Combustion Chamber Cleaner would give it a go make sure you don't leave any o-rings and/or seals*

Links should work now, Benji saw your comments and fix them for me, Thanks Benji :)

I saw your video about ultrasonic cleaners for carburetor cleaning and you answered the very question I had; how does it get inside the passages. In one of your other videos you referenced that you use a substance from another industry to clean your carbs but declined to reveal what it was. I thought you might reveal it in this video, but you didn't. My question is, if you can't tell us what you're using to clean carbs, what over the counter cleaner would give us the best results? I'm considering using Chevron Techron as my cleaning solution for 2 reasons. 1. It has PEA in the formula which is supposed to be good for removing deposits, and 2. Jaguar specified adding a bottle at oil change when I worked at a Jaguar dealer. I considered that a pretty good endorsement. If you have a better recommendation, I woulddvalue your advice. If not, I understand, with today's climate of wanting to bring legal action for just about anything. In any case, I really value your videos. I just brought home a 2005 Yamaha YZF600R with 4300 miles, absolute creampuff, but runs terrible. Previous owner stated carbs had been cleaned, but after watching your channel, I suspect they weren't done properly, and I am looking forward to opening them up, now that I know what to look for from watching your channel. Thanks for your time and effort!

Fascinating and amusing video even though sidecar outfits are the very work of the devil! BTW Jim I own a bike that you bought back to life for its previous owner in 2016 and the bike still runs sweet as a nut.
