Badass little bike!!!The 1970 suzuki 125 i just revived,made me fall in love with these old bike all over again.

@StankWilliams Год назад

This was the exact first bike I ever worked on as a kid!! My dad gave it to me when I was about 11, but I couldn't get it running because I couldn't afford a new stator plate. Glad to see you were more successful than me!!

@goldenrustorbust Год назад

Thats awesome 😎 they are definitely a neat machine

@phil_townes Год назад

Nice one John! Good to see you managed to get her up and running again

@OptimisticGarage Год назад

Thanks for saving these small engine bikes. I like that you got it running and "operating" and now passing it on to someone to finish and hopefully driving it.

@allabychiro4202 Год назад

Had this exact same bike as my first official "dirt bike" but it was electric green, I was 14 or 15 and bought it left over in 1980 from Scott's Kawasaki in Barnsville, NB Canada and paid $765 with my mom chipping in half. I put a plastic front fender on and knobbies front and back, took the indicator lights off it and drove the snot out of it!! Later bought a '78 Suzuki RM100. What a time we had with those! Anyway thanks for the memories!! Subbed!

I guess you could call it a golden rust slushie this time 😂 fantastic video as always sir

@mattj6676 Год назад

I see you have the Super Troopers mustache going. Well played. I think that gas in the bottom of the tank probably saved it. A mess to clean out, but no rust holes!

Don't see these Old Motorcycles Very often nowadays nice little find John

My 1976 KE 100 was my first bike. Got it when I was 15. Loved it. It was a 2 stroke. Engine and bike looks the same.

Time to invest in an ultrasonic cleaner lol

@stevenlatham4397 Год назад

I owned that exact motorcycle when I was 12-14. That was in 1998. I probably put 8,000 miles on it. This brought back a lot of my best memories.

@callumdonington2227 Год назад

The single best carb cleaner I've ever run into is the Honda official Combustion Chamber Cleaner. It's expensive but it will dissolve that shit like you wouldn't believe.

@Tj1983coggin Год назад

The blue jeans and lack of chain guards had me worried. Glad you got it going. After Sealing the gas tank and finding a chain guard, it should make for hours of fun.

@benvoiles3505 Год назад

Great Job, I'm covered up projects right now but I would like to get a hold of an old two stroke and turn it into an ultra light cafe racer. Don't see many around that are street legal. I would want at least a 250, preferably larger. I don't know the guy, but a man around here has several classic two stroke bikes, mostly Suzukis, good shape too. Wish he would stop and talk to me sometime.

Good morning I knew you would be able to get it running. I always enjoy videos like this buying something getting it running then selling it is smart and a good way to get the money you paid out of it and make a profit at the same time

@TheFurriestOne Год назад

Cheech and Chong? "John's not here, man!" (he's out escaping the Terminator on his new (to him) motorcycle!) Sweet old bike, it'll make a great restoration project for somebody! Projects that start with a running engine are great.

@donaldfuller5041 Год назад

We had one something like this but a 125 rotary valve engine. It stop running at one time and it sat for a while till we fifured out the exhaust got plugged by some critters. Its how i learned to ride on this bike.

@dennisreid4428 Год назад

Take the right hand side panel off,it's where the 2 stroke oil tank is. Also the exhaust/muffler clamp is missing at the front Had loads of the KH/KHX,KHE range. The KHx was probably the KMX and the KHE was the KME

@derrickgrengs6344 Год назад

Really need a "low-fi beats to clean your carburetor to" playlist now

@Derf1313 Год назад

Ahh Yes, almost as fast as an aging retriever, lol. Those rotary valves were fun to play with. Rebuilt a '68 350 A7SS long ago, pretty bike & crazy fast. Sure wish I still had it... Thanx !

Berryman carb cleaner comes in gallon can with a basket in it works great to set over night

@coonlakebackwoods Год назад

Try Yamalube Combustion Chamber cleaner for your 2 stroke carbs. It will clean your jets and bowl like brand new. Been using it for over 20 years and it works as well as ultrasonic. It comes in a spray can. Most Yamaha dealers will have it and I've seen it online.

it`s nice to see an old rig back on the road! small word of advice here: that fuel line looks like a firehazard that close to the cooling fins... overseas we call those fuelfilters "see through zippos" because of their bad tendency to melt on valve covers =/ just saying^^

Shoot, for $100 you cain't beat that with a stick! Assumin' it's a two-smoke? That old gas is great for startin' fires - it's lost it's oomph, so you get to keep your hair, and The Man don't get on ya for dumpin' it!
