I just had my first wreck after four years of street riding. I have a decent sized dent that tore the paint up. Thanks for the tips, they will be handy here once I heal up.

Recently crashed my motorcycle and this really helped a lot

This is a quality video, mate...as a tradesman panel-beater (undertook an apprenticeship at a Honda - car - dealership down here in Oz in the '90s) & motorbike fanatic who has 'flipped' a few lightly damaged NSR250's, VTR 10000 SP1/SP2's & Fireblade 900/1000s after first kitting them out in HRC '94/Castrol/Repsol racing colourways (depending upon the bike in question), I'll now recommend this video to anyone with too many questions for me to answer when it comes to bike resto' jobs...cheers & best wishes from "Down Under" & have a great Xmas!!

Nice Work. I'm about to tackle my tank right now

Great video and I did not wreck my bike - luckily! Tank repair for a 1976 Yamaha RD400 drag bike which came with dents - motor ready - thanks for the help!

BIG thumbs up man! very useful

Cheers boss, my dents are quite significant compared to this. This has helped me out with my progress

Thanks for your time man, this has been enlightening.

Thanks for sharing man that was a good video it helped a lot

Great job!!!

Awesome video. Thank you.

Clear and concise.

You needed to tap down the high spots, BIG TIME. That will help the dents come out easier, as well as actually getting them down even and make the body work look right. I do this for a living.

Nice and pretty 👍 that’s very helpful

Thank you! I watched a few videos and this is the best yet on this subject !! Much appreciated :)

What's better slide hammer dent repair or the one you used

Thank you

What type of dent kit did you use?

thanks. i'll give it a try

I have a 7 inch long dent on the right side of my tank. Tried the hot glue kit but it didn’t really do Much of it, but not sure if I need to take it to someone to fix or if I can do the second method in your video. Any tips or help would be great

Does Bondo stick well to a outside gas tank??...Another Question, will it Crack due to expansion?

Nice sv 650 man :)

After primer, how do you use (and where do you buy?) OEM paint color to blend into surrounding area? Special sprayer?

That was some good tips man I was really my bike out of the kitchen area as I keep it there cos people keep trying to steal it you're as that's where I keep my bike at night I lost balance and the tank hit the side of the fly screen door the hard main frame part of the door dammit which put a quite a sharp dent but very sharp I am wondering if I could fill it in with liquid steel as it is impossible to get down into the tank to push from the inside out it is only about 2 inches long buy 1 inch wide yeah if it is small and yes it is very annoying I will try liquid steel being as it is such a small dent it is sandable and paintable and dryers hard as Steel wish me luck I am going to need it but I do not want my bike to have a dent in its tank I love my iron horse more than most things other than my best mate my little Chihuahua lol

Good video, I do need to ask why you didn't try tapping the edges with a body hammer and then pulling? I have seen a lot of vids in the last week as I am about to do the same thing. I also was trained as a metalsmith, a dead blow hammer around the edges will help relax the metal edges.

My dents on my Harley-Davidson Sportster tank wouldn’t budge with a dent pulling kit. Tried 2 different ones. Can’t get to it with dentless repair tools either. A friend wants to use a slide hammer to pull it out, but this will leave a hole in the tank and I’m not comfortable with Bondo being able to fill the whole properly. Any thoughts?

Nice 👍

What body filler should i use and where to get it? which did you use??

How much would it take if i bring it to a motorcycle service center.

Nice work, this may just solve a problem I created but I cannot find the puller you used. Please tell me who makes them and where you got them from.

Where can I buy the dent puller ?

Where can I get the body filling at?

Would help with your sanding if u didn’t hard line it, tape farther back and prep around the dent and area with 400-600 so u can blend the primer, easier and better prep ;)

What types of sand paper are used in this ??

if i went to a shop how much would they charge me to fix it ( give or take) ?

I have a similar dent. But does the tank has to be emptied before doing this method ?

I would like to see the afterwards but still good video

Fill with water freeze with cap on dent gone by morning

Funny i was also watching this cause of a dent on a SV650 ahahaha

What body filler should i use

If you see how the do in in india is very easy

Naturally it's an SV650 :/ coincidentally that's why I'm here

Wht is the name of glue?

This is how you get way better results with the same tools. 1. Find your crowns 2. Glue tab to center of dent. 3. Use bar to pull tabe enough for the metal to want to start pulling out. Leave it with pressure. 4. Since your going to repaint anyways dont f@# around with a non marring hammer. Get a body hammer. Or a good flat faced hammer if you dont ever plan on doing body work again.use hammer to flatten crowns while continually applying pressure to center. You'll move the metal much easier. The crowns prevent the dent from releasing its built up pressure. That's why the op could never get the dents to actually pull out. Tap down your highs, grind and skim coat. Then primer. Do yourself a favor and look up how to mask a soft line for primer as those hard lines will be so hard to smooth out you'll most likely either: get them smooth but sand through your primer where your body work is at and probably get down to bare metal on the other side. Or your gonna thins its smooth and its gonna show like a mfer in the paint. 4.

4 hours of glue gun?! No wonder body work is so expensive :P

Orientated is not a word. It's oriented.

“Pull our dents with body filler”

Stickers are also just as good

Has anybody tryed jb weld 🤔?

You've obviously never seen a tank pressurized

Would be nice without the music it overpowers what you are saying.

thats way too much hardener

just buy a new tank lol

I don’t even know why I am watching this my bike doesn’t even have a gas tank like this mines a fz07

Do you understand what the word remove means? Filling a dent is not removing it

I wish he would just talk normal instead of trying to have a high pitched voice

Use a Block when rough sanding ....not fingers.

Remove any Wax first ..... That can ruin a job .

Try the same thing on my bike tank even use aluminum instead of plastic parts to glue on to the tank when the heat gun glue didn't work I even tried to use J-B weld and it didn't even work when I applied the glue as well as the JB weld it's still didn't hold and will not come out I will say I was pulling this dent on a old 1981 Kawasaki tank
