They were from the brand "Krauser". I can't tell you the exact model though. There is currently an eBay listing for an XJ 900 where you can see detailed pics of it ( 134693973726 ). I sold the carrier.

@@DennisGarage Thank you for your answer. 🙂

Get a service manual for a motorcycle and start with easy jobs. Look up stuff on UA-cam or internet forums and you'll probably be able to get a lot done. Begin with doing all your maintenance yourself. If you come across something that needs attention which you didn't do yet - for example problems with the wiring - study the topic and get a grasp of what's involved and then try and fix it. That's ultimately how I got to know what I know now. If you are a "beginner mechanic", just don't start with working on your brakes for example as they are the most important component on a motorcycle.

@@DennisGarage Thank you for your message bro 😌🙏. You are one of the first mechanics to give me motorcycle advice. 🤝I would have liked to be your assistant to learn on site, unfortunately it is impossible. But I remember your precious advice.✍ Thank you.

I actually thought that it wouldn't be possible to remove the engine when the frame strut is still in there so I didn't even try 😅 Tip for when you install an engine into a frame (that even may be newly painted) - use old inner tubes and cut them up to cover the frame. If you care about scratching up stuff that is

@@DennisGarage i had repainted the frame last year, but after sitting outside during the winter, it came apparents the clear coat wasnt thick enough, and surface rust came back... now i said fuck it, and put the engine back in! i removed the side-frame bit, laid the bike on its side, and tipped the engine on its side, right in its place... but the horn was massively in the way, so i just grinded it off all together :')

Не по моему мнению. либо танк маловат, либо шасси плохое, либо мощность меньше. возможно, AJP PR7 подойдет

Большое спасибо. я рад, что тебе понравилось (Google translate 😄)

same except mine keeps popping out of one of the gears now :l

U guys know where is kawaski 750 destricted 25kw model

@@vdo987 yes, somewhere

You should check if your alternator still works, meaning if your battery is still being charged. You need to get the bike running again (jumper cables maybe) and measure the voltage at the battery; if it is not rising to >14 V when giving it a bit of revs, it is not charging. Either the regulator or the alternator itself needs to be replaced then. Further diagnosis would have to be done on the bike itself.

@DennisGarage I'm new to bikes I'm just having a hard time getting to the battery, gonna sell it when I get it running

Was genau meinst du? Die Stelle bei dem Star Wars Set? Aber ja, die Tunesien Tour ist total geil, war da schon zwei Mal dabei und würde es jederzeit wieder machen, die Dünen sind ja eh jedesmal anders. Klare Empfehlung!

Thank you for your kind words! Do you have any opinion to share regarding the videos being separated into multiple parts? WOuld you prefer to watch it all as one video (maybe 45-60 min long?). I am currently editing a similar video of a Suzuki SV 650 I did, and it is already over 30 mins, could get up to double that easily..

@@DennisGarage hey! I would not mind Watch a 60, 90, or 120 mins long! By the way, I own a Suzuki SV 650, so that video must be a lot useful! Keep up with the hard work! Thank you.

Thank you for your feedback! Often times while editing, I wonder if I show too much,, or go into too much detail and it's hard to gauge when nobody comments, so thanks again!

I've put this through a translator and asked a friend who speaks spanish/portuguese and I still don't really know what you want to tell me :D

Do you mean the tool at 23:45, which i clamped in the vise? Here you go: www.emilschwarz.de/abzieh-werkzeug You'll have to write them an email to order it I guess. You can probably just link the video and say "that one". It is THE BEST tool I have ever bought. If you know about changing that bearing, you know how awesome that tool really is.

thanks. I would like to try something similar as the chisel and hammer method seems a bit brutal :))

Das ist eins dieser Events: www.enduropro.de/produkt-kategorie/enduroprojekte/ Wo genau das ist kann/darf ich nicht sagen, da es dort schon unzählige "Schwarzfahrer" gibt

I've had one just like that, but in light blue. Yours seems to be in top shape! Hope you are safe and sound :)

I had a 1997 Diversion as my first bike, and over the years, I had in total 7 of them as daily rider bikes so it's like my go-to bike! 😅

I know where you're coming from with your comment; I too first worked outside in the parking lot, used a beer case to lift the bike up or sit it down on it so I can remove the swingarm and stuff :D I do feel blessed with my big workshop, no question, even though it is not perfect. I am glad you enjoyed the video! I am currently in the middle of 2 huge projects and hope to be able to make more motorcycle content like with the GS 500 in the next year............... Damn IRL projects throttling my bike fixing+filming plans 🥲

Do you have experience with phone mounts like that? I was testing the thing out with the intention of using it for my (hopefully soon) TET trip, to hold ma phone or tablet as navigation device. It may or may not appear to be much closer to me that it actually is, because of the camera field of view, though.

It's not that bad on this One-Cylinder bike. You just have to remove the seat, some palstics, airbox and the valve cover. The serviceplan calls for it every 10.000 km. It doesn't hurt to look after them more often, especially when it may not be needed to adjust them, as in this case.

@@DennisGarage very good way of thinking! Just another question and i will let you go ahah do you have an experience with 450? Do the valves last as long as those 700 or do they wear faster? Cant wrap my mind around that

​@@Holliy A 450 will be a enduro bike, which is designed for a very different usecase. In the service plans, the service intervals are like 10-30 hours for some of the major maintenance jobs (like valves), but they probably assume that you actually race the bike. My GF's FE 350 will be nearing 100 hours or so and I will have a look at the valves, although I heard that they hardly wear. Especially on dirtbikes though, it is so, so easy to get to the engine.... the tank is like 4-5 bolts, and then you're there. A proper dirtbike (even modified to a supermoto) will always need more work. It is also expected from the owner/rider, seeing as the "warranty" is like 30 days max on those machines, if at all.

@@DennisGarage thank you very much for the explanation ant thanks for your time!

You are right, at this moment the engine hasn't been running for a long time

Schelle am Auspuff lose... Da wo Krümmer in Endtopf geht

I must say, the GS 500 realyl was extremely easy to work on. Almost too easy, ha

:))) @@DennisGarage

They already are oldtimers tho, mine is a 1993. I bet you won't regret getting one, as long as you don't want to go anywhere particularly fast. They are easy. To ride, to work on, to own. It's my fifth over the years, already.

@@DennisGarage Thanks. I already have the Tracer 9 for going faster. :) Thanks a lot mate.

Yeah the conditions were rough, and the tires were at the end of their lifespan already - was a fun learning experience nonthe less. I probably will never get rid of the bike - I really wouldn't know what to replace it with!

Thank you very much for you kind words!

🤣

Thank you!

@@DennisGarage You have a nice workshop with all that’s needed for major maintenance. Do you also rebuild engines?

@@JimJamJammer Believe it or not, the engine I took out of my ADV back then is still sitting in the back of my shop, waiting to be rebuilt. It'll be my first but I have another ig project going on atm, I am accidentally restoring my sprinter van.... (filming it, too)

@@DennisGarage No worries. I’d like to see what made it go wrong as many others would. It’s an interesting bike and the LC4 engine is somewhat special.

Did you rebuild it?

@@DennisGarage yea the first ride is on my channel

Man I wish I had time to do stuff like that right now! I am tearing apart my sprinter van (ambulance) and just found a big hole in the frame. Good times....

Viel Spaß! Hoffentlich ist der See trocken genug dass ihr da auch drauf könnt

Hope you get some valuable information from my vids then. If you need help or anything, I'll see if I can help you out. Where are you from? I still got a couple of parts left from the parts bike I need to get rid of...

@@DennisGarage strange, I’m certain that I replied two days ago. Now I’m back here to ask for a favor to be honest 😅 I’m from Sweden 🇸🇪 :) I’m trying to find the length of the bike, with the front wheel off as-well as the length with both the front and back wheel off. I have to travel a bit by car and I’m thinking that I might be able to fit the frame + fork in my trunk, but it’s to far to gamble 😂 But the subframe might be the problem when it comes to the back part length. I TOTALLY understand if you don’t feel like it though! Will still keep watching you regardless lol

​@@Fleischmann773 Heya, sorry I didn't respond. I honestly forgot about your request becasue I wasn't in the workshop for a long time. I have just now began to work on my sprinter van and as I was shoving unwanted items into the back of the shop I saw the frame of the GS i still have and thoguht about your message. I also still have a fork but I don't know if i still have the swingarm I think I sold it. I could give you the measurement from the front axle to the very back of the frame, would that be sufficient? Or has your case solved itself due to time?

@@DennisGarage How could i possibly miss your answer :) id love the meassurements if thats still an option :) thanks alot! Cat wait to get started.

@@Fleischmann773 I guess we're playing a very slow game of ping pong here. Unfortunately, someone bought all of the stuff I still had from that bike in the meantime. I'll get the guy I built the bike for and ask him..

I don't know yet. It started to make funny (funnier) noises as usual so I replaced it. I hope I can get to rebuilding it this winter, then I'll know more!

@@DennisGarage Thanks!! I will wait for it!! Have a nice day!

Thank you very much!

Thank you for your kind words! I am glad you enjoyed it!

Hey, I don't know if these videos are really that suitable for narration, I specifically thought of this style of "just showing" the stuff I do, and instead make a lot of chapters and explain the stuff in the description. I think narrating it would be a bit distracting

With all the parts, cost for TÜV, spare bike etc it was a bit over 2000€. Excluding my labour of course..

@@DennisGarage you are a professional bro. Also awesome job with the filming and editing. Is that an ultrasound cleaner? Anything special or any type? It looks very useful for a lot of parts, i can t imagine fuel injectors.

@@cristian7602 This is a cheap ebay one, works flawless but is loud as hell - I wear hearing protection when I use it. And thank you very much for the kind words, mean a lot to me! 🥰

@@DennisGarage have a great day bro, thank you for your reply

Yeah, was a real rookie mistake on my side. Glad it worked out. Unfortunately, the engine is tending to burn oil through the valve stem seals at only 10k km ... oh well. Can't win all :D

Hey! Thank you for your feedback! Where in australia are you from? Crossing the simpson desert and maybe playing around in tazzie are on my bucket list... :D In that bottle I have regular brake cleaner. I switched over from metal cans to buying a 30L canister and using the pump bottle because I was going through a ridiculous amount of cans, and this way, the cost per litre is also (slightly) lower!

@@DennisGarage I’m from Melbourne. Haven’t done much touring around but definitely would be an experience! Hopefully you get the chance! I’ve never used brake cleaner for anything just yet, but know I will be doing a complete brake service in the near future so will be buying some. Is it safe to use it as a general surface cleaner? As I see you using it generously throughout the series

@@royalt7147 Depends. For rubber parts, it's not really suitable (I still use brake cleaner as a "lubricant" when mounting tires as it ecaporates and doesn't leave a still slimy residue). Also, when cleaning paintwork or powder coated stuff, brake cleaner tends to leave a light haze. But for mechanical stuff like bolts, bearing races, inner parts of assemblies... it's really good. If you "over use" it, you'll get a bit dizzy though :D

Thank you so much! I'm a bit stuck with the next part (as I have over 60 videos from day 7...), but it's so motivating so get encouraging comments - from across the world!

WDYM E-Start? The bike HAS E-Start. Please elaborate what you mean about oil intake. I'm aware that there are mods to tweak the air intake, but that includes the exhaust system, carb setup and so on which I am not that interested about. The bike rides fine, I don't want all of the extra hassle for a couple more HP. Also, some mods include drilling the airbox, and I prefer the bike to be able to handle water crossings (or being partially drowned)

Yes, just WD40 to stop corrosion and make the plugs a bit more resistant against water and moisture than just putting them in dry. On my enduro bikes and my KTM Adventure, I use clear silicone grease to do the same, as they may get (partially) submerged in water. For street bikes, some kind of oil or water repellent stuff will be sufficient
