For these unfamiliar with Millyard’s Kawasaki H2 four-cylinder bikes, he constructed 4 of them. That is the fourth of these 4 that he constructed. So logically, it is in all probability going to be the soundest bike within the bunch, simply because he can have totally dialed in all his construct processes on the primary three earlier than he bought to this one. 

It began life as a typical H2 750 inline triple, however Millyard determined so as to add an additional cylinder from one other H2 to construct every of those bikes. Varied different supporting mods had been after all essential to deliver this bike to life, and you may get a bit extra perception into each the construct and its upkeep in certainly one of Millyard’s many useful movies on his YT channel.

When it comes to helpfulness, there’s an ideal bit on this video the place Millyard explains a standard carburetor downside that H2s can develop, and it is that the float bowl mating surfaces the place it sandwiches the gasket and the cap will get screwed into place can get deformed. Overtightened screws on the corners can pull it out of practice, so the gasket can not do its job as a result of the floor develops dips. 

So, within the video, Millyard exhibits a easy approach to first discover the place the excessive areas on the float bowl mating floor are, after which fastidiously sand them down with a little bit of moist/dry sandpaper (320 grit) and clear it up nicely afterward to unravel leaks. Easy, easy, tremendous helpful, and simply the chillest, greatest skilled recommendation. Though it is not the precise bike that is about to go up on the market, because it’s one other of Millyard’s modified H2 1000s, it ought to hopefully are available helpful for the brand new proprietor. 

The bike in query is a good looking blue instance, and it is reportedly certainly one of solely two Millyard H2s that is presently positioned within the US. This one is ready to cross the public sale block on the Mecum Las Vegas Bikes 2025 public sale on Friday, January 31. If you happen to’re inquisitive about getting your palms on it, or in seeing it in particular person, meaning you will have a few weeks to get issues so as and make room in your storage.
