Back in January, 2022, Allen Millyard showed us the build process for the bottom end of his Kawasaki S1 550 four-cylinder engine. It was just one part of his latest YouTube video series, of course, but it seemed like as hopeful a way to start a new year off right as we’ve seen. It’s June, 2022 now, so we wanted to see how things are getting on with the S1 550.
In the latest episode, Millyard just got his frame back from being painted, and it’s now ready for the bike to be assembled. Luckily, the weather is also warming up in England, so Millyard eagerly brings his assembly efforts out into his back garden so a helpful robin can supervise. He packs a little bucket with the tools he’ll need, as well as a little tub of grease, and out into the sunlight he goes.
