    Hi Kieth quick brain pick ⛏️ on the Honda ST 1100 I have removed cleaned , replaced two seals on piston on slave cylinder, but I have one left over the one for centre of clutch basket where rod connects , am wondering can that be removed from the front & replaced as in another video a guy working on a Shadow said it's got a lip & needs to be removed from the back which involves removing the outer clutch case with lots of nuts ?

  • @MrGuffo
    @MrGuffo 13 дней назад

    Hey Keith, awesome work you're doing! You're on the same path I was a few months ago with my project. Problem with the Vara is that the fork triple has a big offset to achieve the clearance from the frame, and the front axle has zero offset on the lowers. The Vara can steer a lot, so your options for complete front end will have to include this offset in the triple. Then, if you're sorta keeping the suspension travel, given this zero offset from the bars, then swapping to an enduro-like suspension might give you a complete different behavior, even to be unrideable at certain speed. So once more congrats on the plan, I'm totally looking forward to seeing the final result, and also make a quick research the available fork alternatives for this unique bike. Cheers!

    Keith, I currently have two varas, one pretty stock looking and the other more off-road capable. I'd suggest to keep it as is, and if you feel sporty, go for the VTR1000. That way you'll have best of both worlds with almost the same engine. At one point I had the ST1100, the vara and the VTR1000. A really nice combo for my needs... and you're nearly there!

    Hello Keith. I just discovered your channel as I was looking for an ST1100 oil change video. I just bought Allen Millyard's old green ST, (if you know who he is?) It seems in fine condition but I'm checking it over, as one does with any old bike one's just purchased. I expect I'll be looking at your back catalogue of videos in the near future. Whatever you do, or don't do, from this point forward, the 500+ videos you've already posted will have helped more people than you will ever know. Many more people will be helped if you keep it up, *but only do it if it helps you* Good luck for the future mate. 👍👍👍👍👍

    Not the place for me to say this really but I feel the unbalance you feel daily, highs are super high and lows are super low. I’d never end my life but I do go out and ride recklessly late on an evening as my escape one in a blue moon when shit gets bad. It’s a relief to have made it home each time but the feeling before hand is hell, the path forward is all we can look at and we can’t worry about what other see in our paths. At my current time in life I can admit and deal with a lot of my issues and I know I have a lot to live for. The bumps in the road get deep real quick but keep moving forward and you soon climb the other side, without the lows in life the high would not feel like highs so I always say to everyone, be thankful for your difficulties as it makes you the person you are! People like to label it as depression or many other things but it’s the roller coaster of life we all deal with. Don’t mean to sound heartless by that but sometimes you must be brutally honest with yourself and remember you are the purpose in your life!

    Having restored a Z650 and had similar problems with the carbs, I watched your last vids on your 650 and I'm sure the issue you have is due to worn float valves and or seats. They can stick open.. leading to the carb flooding, or they can stick closed.. leading to no petrol in the float bowl. Sometimes a float valve can stick open one day and stick closed the next.. very frustrating! BTW is the Yamaha yoke from a R6? Fitted an R6 to my current 650 project, and ended up cutting off the ignition barrel mount like you did. Look forward to seeing your future vids, just do the work when you feel like. For a while I made a vid a week, but in the end it felt like work, so now I make a vid when I want...

      @@TheAmateurBikeBuilder I had a similar problem on my 650B.. stripped and cleaned the carbs, new valve seats and needles, checked float height etc. No matter what I did, one cylinder wouldn't fire. Had a good spark, and when I sprayed petrol straight down the carb bore, the cylinder fired up instantly. For some reason that carb just didn't move fuel into the engine. In the end, used another set of carbs and even without cleaning those, the engine ran fine at last. The first set of carbs are sitting on a shelf, waiting for some inspiration...
