Your dad, the bearded mechanic, would be proud

Jake is a really good guy. I’ve met him once & he sat there and bullshitted with me for about an hour or so. Really good dude. I hope u and your family prosper my guy 🤘🏻

I get it Jake most people don’t realize how much extra work it is modifying anything from stock and trying to do a good proper job to make sure stuff is as safe as stock. There’s a reason why in a shop environment we don’t do much big modifications it takes to long and too much hassle to do it properly

AWww. Now that's love. 7:55 no one else would scrub that for that long

Something about jake that just makes ya smile ya know

Thank you Jake For making this video

Nice, I don't think people are busting balls about where's the video to have a go at you, it's just people are keen to see it. Cool to see some bike build stuff again, bike builds with popular models will always be good content.

Your high maintenance members giving you grief Jake ? No pressure from me amigo. We don't owe each other a thing. 😆👍

I actually really like seeing the detailing work. I usually get how to do the "big" stuff, but the little things are important too and often, for me anyway, there's no intuitive way to know how to do them. The brake caliper disassembly and clean was very cool. Thanks Jake!

Man, your knowledge about how these bikes run and how to fix them is amazing man. I've been watching you for years and its always amazed and inspired me. I have an r3 and the simplest task like tightening my chain gets me worried lol, here you are with a bike in pieces and know where everything goes and how to put it back together lol. Keep it up man!

Mate I actually loved this vid. Watching how meticulously you go overything and don't cut corners is inspiring, as well as learning from your knowledge along the way. I actually just brought a very dodgy hack job custom Speed Triple 955 back to life and the list of issues was never ending, but also so satisfying to eventually get to the end of it. Keep it up, this is quality content.

Post updates whenever! Really enjoying watching you fix this mess!

Good job on getting the video out bro!

Hey man thanks for taking any amount of time at all to make these videos. So much respect. Cheers

I know how time consuming is dismantling, cleaning and putting a bike together. Early this year I have disassembled my KTM 990 smt to bare frame. Frame, swingarm, rims, subframe and few other parts were sand blasted and powder painted. My friend spray painted my fairings and I have installed new stickers on them. I am not professional mechanic so I decided to give my engine to real mechanic for full disassemble and inspection. In early may I have put it all together. Made more than 2k kilometers already. Currently waiting for ECU tuning, becouse in previous years I made some modifications after wich I downloaded ECU map from internet. It is working but it's not ideal - mixture is way to rich. My fuel consuption (7-8l/100km) is about 2 liters higher than my friend's 1190 adv (driving together).

So the brakes (Kawasaki trained mechanic here) those collars are locating dowels more than retention or strength. The gold dot brake upgrade is really common on kwaks/Suzi's. They can be removed by pulling them out with plyers. You can then grind them down a mm or two and relocate them to accept the gold dots. The pad locating on the rotor is obviously super important depending on rotor size is the size of the spacer you need to make up the gap. The spacers shouldn't be forced on the locating dowels in the fork legs - which you're doing. To be honest even in racing scenarios we've just removed them and placed the caliper directly against the mounting posts. Cast your mind back and you'll remember it once was rare to have locating dowels on radial calipers. Side note; BMW caliper mount bolt spacing is probably 100mm and Japanese brake mount bolt spacing is 108mm. So OEM Japanese calipers will always fit on Japanese brand bikes then you use spacers to stack them out or mill off material to mount them correctly on the rotors. That's the issue you're having and seemingly operating on guess work. Personally I would of used OEM monobloc Brembo Calipers off the newer GSXR and upgrade to 320mm rotors to match them. That way it's OEM and a near instant upgrade. The main braking issue you're going to run into on that generation of GSXR is the master cylinder perch itself - that needs upgrading or rebuilding. I find my interest in these videos conflicting because half the time I'm like "this geezer knows what he's doing" the other half I'm like "he doesn't have a clue" The braided caliper line you propose in your big brain moment is a race setup - very common and offers faster braking and less chance of brake fade. The braided line up and over technique you first tried is the OEM setup for many bikes. Feed the lines in front of the forks till it gets to the lower clamp then run them behind to avoid any impact damaging the lines. If you look up race brake routing, that's what you're after. I don't mean to sound sarcastic at all or a dick but I thought I'd offer my advice.

Thanks Jake for doing this for the bruh.

I watched all the ads for your hard work to make the Brah safe

I love this build series. Can’t wait for the next one. Love your work Jake

This channel wouldn’t be the same without intro explosions lol. You’re doing great, Jake 🤠

Best motovloger still around!

A lot of us are understanding that you've got a life also we understand it takes time👍🏾

hell yeah! had me worried! I thought said bike was too far gone, haven't seen a post haha. this is cool for me to watch. meanwhile poor jake is at the forge lol! we believe in you! -95 yam 600r- i've been there. hauled her to the shop once the carbs got involved. that's over my head.

Honestly after working on bikes for about a year the whole thing with the spacers for the brakes is the realest shit ever lol

These videos make me happy, thanks snake man!

Id be happy to watch a compilation of just cleaning and painting. Section with brakes was sooo good

You’re doing awesome Jake!

@TheGardenSnake you are making best contend. i have been watchied your contend about almost 10 years

Dont give in to the impatient audience, they sit in a comfortable chair watching youre content, good content takes time to make. Love it btw

What's up, brehs?

Stay pushing forward Jake the real adults watching understand the stress of real life and the delay on the video series.

Watching Jake videos on a Saturday morning make me as happy as watching cartoons did as a kid

Bro Accossato monoblocs are only 500 bucks and lighter than brembos, definitely a go to caliper for sure Accossato is killing it in the racing world

Love the vid thanks for making it!

Glad my L5 came with mono block Brembo's

Love ya jake! I'll keep patient and enjoy the cameos of the 800 in the back 😂 i just got one the other day as my first "big" bike

Zoran at TWF racing can get you the correct spacers for any gsxr r1/6 brake combo.

I was wondering why you were making us wait so long but that title kind of explains it

Sucks the parts for the caliber can't really be clearance or the post machined down a little

When you start using parts for something else there is way more time trying to make it fit, then even way more time to just get it to work, then even more time getting it work correctly. I know what you’re dealing with but me it’s a WW2 Willys MB that is mine but still it needs to be correct. Great video it shows the reality of working on something for someone.

Yoo, jake how do those bold gloves hold up in wind/water are they watertight/dry fast?

That bike is clapped

Bike work is ASMR to me

Wouldn't it be faster for Mr. Brah to buy a new used Squidcycle rather than trying to fix this one ?

About the spacers for the brake calipers: I have a gsxr 600 track bike which came with the same Tokiko calipers which I swapped for the r6 ones. The little silver inner alignment cylinders were (for me) the exact same size between the gsxr and the r6 and when I used a (2mm?) washer the inner ring still was able to slot into the caliper and hold it securely and the brake pads aligned perfectly. There was only one person I could find making the "correct" spacer but the only advertisement for them was literally a .png with an email address to reach out to. I get what you're saying about his bike needing a solid braking system but IMO the washers gave me perfect spacing and a very rigid setup. tl;dr gixxer brah was right, washers are fine as long as the inner sleeve slots into the calipers

I'm finding this project really entertaining, hopefully it's not too tedious for you. idk how much you'd trust it, but I wonder if shortening the dowel pins in the fork foot, or replacing them with shorter ones would be the easiest path.

I had something very similar happen concerning the miss-sized brake spacers as well. I was swapping a larger caliper onto my ‘17 R6. I dont get it

nopp the dubble goes on the right side you just switcht it upp, probably doesn't matter but that's how they should be.

I sure am glad that I have a hot water Pressure washer.. a big tank full of mineral spirits and a parts washer with pump and nozzle with mineral spirits in it. I don't like to work on anything that is greasy no do I put dirt parts back on the bike .

Finally lol been waiting for this video

How difficult would it be to install a "la cucaracha" horn on my zx10r???

Bruh the wife and I just had our first kid. And I can’t convince the wife to not spend money on stuff that isn’t necessary… idk how I’m ever going to get a bike to even start riding.

man... So many little things... that's so rough

If the cops come there they might try to get a dna swab of his booty of the seat

What’s the link for the brake fluid tool?

Wrong chain size?? How is Brah alive?

5:06 what is that screw called that’s going under the throttle tube I’m missing that on my Gsxr and it causes it to rattle

So many procedural fails on the bolt extraction.

@TheGardenSnake can a GSX-R aka a Gixxer actually run Unclapped out except when new???? Just a question? LOL 😂

never use zipty like that on a cable without the rubber the zity will eat away in the cable after time

You were in Spain now you are in pain

@9:57 I love you but real calipers don't require batteries ❤

FINALLYYYY

What a pain in the a$$ good lord gonna be couple years to finish ...

That's an awesome brake downgrade. Why not actually upgrade to brembos. It's a literal bolt on

Here ya, since I'm retired, everyone thinks I'm there personal Uber, in fact, the grand kids don't call Uber, they call Goober, gramps plus Uber.

Cotter pins suck, just take the hitch pin pill and never look back.

Lol rhey guy BRUH has film of 😉 is doing death defying speed runs.... on a death trap lol

GTA SA… one step forward ~ The Desert Rose Band

We know how he rides.

Wanna do my bike next?

Sorry, but I feel your out your league on this build eh? Alot of the machine work is simple

cant believe this is a 17 minute video and all you showed us was re-routing brake lines and cleaning calipers, smh.

People need to chil the f out. You have a life outside of this too. 😆 Wtf? 😆

@TheGardenSnake, it's so funny watching this because bc @gixxerbrah was the same guy who got all in his feelings about a comment I made on one of his videos. I asked about why he's beating the sh*t outta the bikes he barrows to ride. @Gixxerbrah said, the way he rides is how your supposed to ride bikes. Well obviously, they are not and this video of he own bike is proof Hope he sees this comment bc he started calling me an idiot for saying what I said. He also attempted to portray he knew about the mechanical workings in his "Why do I beat on 1000cc bikes". Love your videos though good luck with that junk box you're working on. I would be afraid to even use it for parts LOL

At this point just get a new bike, he's got the money.

LETS GET THIS BIKE DONE YOUR SO SLOW WAITING ON PEOPLE TO GET STUFF DONE SUCKS SO BAD COME ON YOU KNOW YOU CAN FIX IT WAY FASTER SO LETS GET IT DONE OR JUST GIVE THE BIKE BACK

Just think Jake, when you get the Brah's K5 fixed, he might be able to go Fast. 💚🐐🪖 #goatarmy

I wish you would up load more I miss jakey 🥲
