In a recent DIY project, a 2016 Yamaha R15 V2 underwent a comprehensive overhaul after being in a severely abused condition. The bike, which had run 71,500 kilometers, was found to have significant issues including a mixed coolant and oil problem, known as the forbidden milkshake, and a damaged crankcase. The owner and a mechanic had to disassemble and clean every part before reassembling the engine. This project highlights the challenges and dedication required to restore a heavily damaged motorcycle. I think its impressive how much work went into bringing this bike back to life.
