My next customer owns the Top Gun motorcycle. He's not loving it as much as Tom Cruise since no one will fix it for him.

It's so nice to see a real mechanic at work not just a glorified parts changer. So many shops now don't do any diagnostic procedures to find the real issues. Great work Craig!
-
The most important thing I learned from you is that Craig, as a mechanic, it is always best to install good factory parts. You followed the tech manual, and the culprit was faulty fake parts. Thank you for sticking with it and realizing that real genuine parts are what's recommended. Good video, Bearded mechanic and TY again for teaching us the right way.

Those green coils are aftermarket ones. Probably why they both read same resistance, but higher than what the manual manual says, They probably were working fine. The pickup coils were the culprit, especially as they were reading almost open circuit instead of a few hundred ohms. I've owned a GPZ900R for 34 years (basically the same bike as this one) and done a lot of work on it. Nice to see some trouble shooting being done.

I owned that bike, bought it new in 1986 in NY. Still to this day the best all around motorcycle I ever had. Great to hear it again. Ps.. The Ninja 900 was the Tom Cruise Top Gun bike, not the 1000R you're working on.
-
moral of the story? check for continuity and resistance even with new parts. saves a lot of diagnosis & installation frustration. strong work!
-
Amazing how intelligent Craig is and how much dedication he has for motorcycles. Love watching him work and listen to the amount of information he has.
-
I really appreciate the fact that you let us know how many time this repair took, people use to think that their vehicles can just get in the shop and 30 minutes later it's ready to

Your a shining example of a dedicated and excited mechanic. You rock Craig, and Dan your an awesome cameraman love how your involved in the videos too
-
It’s nice to see someone take the time to make old classics work again!

Craig you may benefit from an IV holder for your hanging fuel tank. Wheel it around where you need it and adjust for height.
-
Craig and Dan you guys are killing it on the views and content! Very happy you continued and created your own channel!
-
Fantastic! Another "Thumbs Up" for Craig. Craig, I'm enjoying your new content far more than the old stuff. You've gone from silly entertainment (B&B), to being an educator, while still being fun to watch and learn. Doing it all on a budget! You're proof that you don't have to spend big bucks to make good content about motorcycles. Thank you very much!
-
Fantastic job done by Craig, when nobody else would touch it. No greater gut punch than making a bikes issue worse when 'fixing it', but Craig stuck with it and pulled it off! Well done Craig and Dan!

Long time bike n beards / srkcycles watcher here, i love this channel, as a mechanic theres so much channels out there, but they are all either too simple and trying to be cool, or they are way too long and unenjoyable to watch, Craig is just an amazing presenter with tons of knowledge and you manage to cut it into an interesting episode!! Please keep going Craig and co! Greetings from Europe!
-
This one of the best videos that i have seen on Motorcycle repair ! This guy knows his stuff and explains everything step by step ! great job i hope you do a ton more videos !!!
-
Nice to see the process, i used to love working in a motorbike shop repairing stuff like this. As soon as I see pod filters I know its going to be a bad day however this bike seems setup ok for them.
-
Would have been nice to see Craig test the new coils and pickups in the same manner to see the difference.
-
The service advisor in me knows how legit Craig is when he says "replicate the issue" I should get that tattooed somewhere
-
You have shown what passion and love for motorcycles is. Respect from Poland.
-
Craig, this is all gold to the owner of an older bike. I love the logical approach and explanations! Keep it on repeat ;)
