Engineers like Rick are becoming a rarity. It’s awesome to see someone so knowledgeable and passionate about their craft!

"but we know we don't have compression" "well we think we don't" he saved so much time by checking again... It's so cool to watch masters work

I worked for HDT for over 10 years, before changing careers.Was there for the development of this bike. Worked with Rick as well, very intelligent man. Interesting seeing this.

The thought of a turbo diesel motorcycle is just amazing! Imagine the fuel economy.

This man needs to create a manual containing everything he knows about that bike. And then have that younger dude memorise every word. Thank you for this amazing video, this is preservation of engineering history in action.

I love the technicality of this video. Also, Rick's got natural camera presence and is a legend for being on here!

There are VERY few people that can make a 30 minute video that I don’t skip a single part. I enjoyed watching you with Sean for who Sean is. I enjoy watching you for the expertise and knowledge you have. Keep at it Craig! You’re an awesome person

“You can’t kill a KLR”, except for the Doohickey, if you don’t replace it, then the motor will self-destruct.

I am not a big bike guy personally but between watching Sean's video and yours it amazes how much both information both Matt and Rick how much knowledge they have about these rare bikes. Super cool to listen to all the engineering behind it

It's amazing to watch someone who knows exactly what they're doing work on something.

I love hearing engineers like him. All that come out of his mouth is precious knowledge.

We need to get a camera in front of anyone that's like Rick! Being the only two people in the world that know how to work on deseign, fix, rebuild and be enthusiastic about something is a special thing! If this information doesn't get recorded and put on the internet it will disapear forever! Now that this video is on YouTube anyone that wants to buy and fix one of these bikes can do it in a couple months and not a couple years. I'm sure there are mechanics and machinesest that could of got it running pretty quickly, but now anyone can do at home. I also think having a video is way more useful than even some of the best manuals! Awesome video, awesome dudes, and a awesome bike!

This bike is way to complex to ever give to a bunch of soldiers in a far away land. Imagine having to get this thing started quickly in a tense situation. It's easy to see why the military only bought a handful of them. Great video Craig

I have no plan in ever owning anything diesel powered but I found this video to be very interesting. The knowledge of the details, like the length of the fuel tank screws, is just plain impressive.

It's nice that you can have access to a ton of info on the internet, but learning fron an experienced craftsman is just another level of human interaction

HDT USA man himself, Fred Hayes ran these bikes for speed testing at Bonneville for several years before he passed away. My brother and I ran motorcycles at Bonneville hanging out with Fred and his wonderful family many times. Fred was super cool to hang out with👍🏻

What an absolute legend Rick is and a great character.

As a guy who has owned 3 KLRs, I have always been fascinated by the diesel/mil variety…and after watching this, I definitely never want to own the diesel variety. Thanks for in-depth look into KLR voodoo ❤

Dude that Gentleman is awesome!
