When you did the brakes, you only unbolted the caliper bracket. You needed to remove the pads and clean the pad clips and remove, clean and lube the caliper guide/slide pin. That is what’s going to help the pads back off when you release the brakes.

@bennyblanko3 7 месяцев назад

I've rebuilt the caliper on old bikes that sat, and there was so much green goo inside the caliper. I don't think you need to buy any parts. Just let the fluid push the pistons out, and then clean real good (don't get brake clean on the seals). And, clean the pistons real good. Then, they work like new again (although the lines can get totally stuck up too). But, yeah, first step is cleaning pads, lubing wear spots, and clean and lube the slide/pin. But, I'd take them completely apart, and clean inside real good too.

@timwilkinson2797 7 месяцев назад

Im sure he puts a Dogg6y treat on the bike LOL

@paul340mopar 7 месяцев назад

He definitely knows how to Sniff out the Problem! 😎

@skull-s1r 7 месяцев назад

I consider Vinnie official MOTO-PUP

@user-jp8tl1wi7g 7 месяцев назад

Joe needs to take Vinnie when he goes to look at projects. He could could check them out. Put his paw over the spark plug hole kick it over. He can tell if it's has good compression.

@GNX157 7 месяцев назад

I like how much of the fork stanchion is below the front axle on this bike. However Joe, the front brake hose is routed wrong at the bottom. It goes around the inside the fork tube to the caliper. Check some on line photos to see how it should look.

@EarthSurferUSA 6 месяцев назад

No offense to him, but IMO, he needs to slow down and look at the technicalities of everything the best he can, no matter how simple they may seem, until he knows everything he does is right. I have only seen a hand full of his vids, and this is the 2nd time he missed something simple, (chain under the guide was the 1st I saw). I actually find that kind of amazing. The guy digs right into transmissions and still misses the simple things. I guess I learned from the outside going in. :) Yea, before the upside down forks, 12" of fork travel would have that much slider tube under hang under the axle. Made riding rutted corners a bit tricky sometimes. The pros of the day seemed to have little problem though. :)

@Winchestersxp 7 месяцев назад

I tune in every video for one reason - Vinny is underated in the community and deserves so much more recognition in his incredible ability to Sniff out a good deal !

@jl4091 7 месяцев назад

In 50+ years of dirt bikes,that's the 1st master link i've seen come off.Everyone says carry a spare,but I stopped years ago,because it never happens.Now we see why Vinny ran away.Smart doggy.

@Zt3v3 4 месяца назад

Yeah, I've seen one fall off when riding either. As long as it's installed correctly and you don't let the clip wear down to a sliver, they stay on. In this case, the clip was missing. 23:40 you can see it's missing, and again at 27:59

@neutonrenda2303 7 месяцев назад

Had the RM250, battled to get through first 3gears without lifting the front tyre. Dad made me get rid of it because of the neighbours complaining.👍

@michaelgarland579 3 месяца назад

U know my nabors are complaining about my yz125 2003 cops told my dad there getting alot of call about my bike I love my bike im not getting rid of it to much fun it is load though when I smash gas

@eddyb6790 7 месяцев назад

Between your off-loading and your kick-starting, I'm nominating you for a knee replacement by the time you turn 30. Love the channel...

@arthurburger8415 7 месяцев назад

That chain looks like some links are semi frozen even before you started the bike the 1st time

@richie8214 7 месяцев назад

@jerrywilcox9890 7 месяцев назад

@Zw33dx Месяц назад

it does make it a lil easier

@bobovv6060 7 месяцев назад

The chain, or worse the sprocket, could have really badly damaged your foot. Maybe wearing boots is a good idea especially for the first ride. That bike sounds so good !

@MrGreen-oe9qp 7 месяцев назад

I love seeing your videos about repairing these dirtbikes, atvs, and side by side. You inspired me to learn how to repair these vehicles

@Bigbull6069 6 месяцев назад

@18wheeler77 7 месяцев назад

What a coincidence that you and the previous owner rode it for only 10 minutes! 😅

@sams7655 7 месяцев назад

Holy cow... You're amazing! Most interesting mechanic in the world. After hes worked on a bike, they actually go faster when the brakes are applied! 😅

@DShenefield 7 месяцев назад

If you go back to when you were shifting it through the gears in the garage I could see the front sprocket was doing something weird.

@justinm6110 7 месяцев назад

Im surprised that dosn't happen more often , you hardly ever give any love to the chain and sprockets, sounds like its running great .

@richardburke7339 7 месяцев назад

Joe, I noticed the chain had some bad spots as you were going through the gears on the stand, then, as you were unloading it at the land I noticed you had not lubed the chain, and said out loud, I hope that chain doesn't break...man, you were very lucky that you, or the engine, were not hurt, glad you're okay, Rich in Sacramento

@2stroketyson79 7 месяцев назад

lucky his dangling sneaker lace didnt get caught in that chain too lol

I'm an x racer from the late 70's... I'm looking to get back on the dirt and go vintage racing... I cannot find shit in my state affordable... You get the killer deals and that one there would work... I found your videos about five months ago... Good job with the videos and keep it up...

@grabir01 7 месяцев назад

Stop clutching and Speed shift! When the bike is cold, speed shift earlier and keep the revs down a little till it warms. Thank you.

@stevebradley8512 7 месяцев назад

Ya doesn't have a clue.

@dallasn2y 7 месяцев назад

At around 13:44 of the video there's a shot of the master link (different link plate) without a clip. I would guess the clip wasn't there in the first place. Great presentation with your video's and the steps you take to diagnose and repair. You have your way with tool selection and what it takes for repair but it's your video's and you're making the big bucks with this process. Your'e doing something right with your following and views! Vinnie is a treasure and my Labradoodle goes nuts every time Vinnie is on the big screen. Well done Joe!

@jonathantouboul159 7 месяцев назад

Wow good eye, it was absolutely missing the clip from the beginning. Glad there were no consequences.

@jassonquinn3251 7 месяцев назад

@paulweigle6872 7 месяцев назад

Great buy, that bike runs out amazingly. Glad you dodged a bullet on the chain break.

@greathornedowl3644 7 месяцев назад

"It's had lots of work done" but not running. Your patience and knowledge are able to leap those hurdles. 2Vinny is with me on this one. You need to rent a Uhaul and go to Baltimore for the 100+ pile of seized

@philjenkins2320 6 месяцев назад

You have a lot of confidence to take on a Suzuki. I wouldn't expect a brand new Suzuki to start. Especially if 32 degrees or colder.

@bananabrooks3836 7 месяцев назад

Not enough bolt/security checking on the bike and l'm shouting "No coolant!" Let's hope this is a learning chance like the KX85 and not ignored.

WE NEED A FULL RESTORATION VIDEO

@georgepretnick4460 7 месяцев назад

An untrained garage wonder acquaintance of mine bought a dilapidated Mustang and totally disassembled it. He threw every last fastener into a large bucket. All of them. He ended up with half a bucket of mixed, rusty, greasy unidentified fasteners. The car sat in the back yard in the weather and eventually was thrown away one piece at a time. He held on to the engine last saying, "I'm gonna rebuild it." to the very end. He never did.

@SingleMost 7 месяцев назад

first step is always just get her a plate and fall in love. theeeeeeeeen you throw every fastener in a bucket 😂

I paid a kid in the neighborhood 650 for a Jawa CZ 250 back in '71 that bike reminds me of it with the yellow. the expansion chamber. thats where it ends. wish i had that CZ

@LOOKOUT2012 7 месяцев назад

That chain coming off is a warning... GEAR UP also Move the truck and trailer well.away from where you speed test! Not worth taking Chances. Especially when alone 👍👌

@MrJamesstott 7 месяцев назад

I'd like to see a full restoration on this bike, either new plastics or clean up the old one but would definitely like to see it in its former glory

@user-yk7qh5em2k 7 месяцев назад

30 seconds fired up then straight to some full throttle ripping hell yeah!!!

@dangreene5676 7 месяцев назад

@jasonjavelin 7 месяцев назад

Love the 2 stroke videos, getting a deal and being able to fix it with out the whole “just needs a carb clean (aka this motor is blown) is nice!

@ladyjedi3D 7 месяцев назад

Vinnie! I heard construction going on in your last few vids. If it’s your driveway you had done, looks amazing. Love Vinny!!!! 🎉😊❤ watching from sunny Southern California. Can ride year round! Miracle with the chain incident dang.

@donaldblakley6796 7 месяцев назад

Nice work bud. Ya I guess there was a lot of loose bolts and missing bolts as u said in beginning of video.. happens when you aren't sure what previous owner did.... most importantly I am very GLAD that you didn't get hurt!!

@jamesball1456 7 месяцев назад

you beat him down it was 1000 but good on you for getting it and fixing it dose sound nice through head phones take care all stay safe xx from London

@JDTECH22 7 месяцев назад

I know some of the older bikes power band is like an on off switch but your already in the power and high rpm when i could hear it. But just what i thought i could hear. All in all great deal for the bike and great video as always.

@willhutton1516 7 месяцев назад

Don’t be afraid to try and fix one of those Can-am ATV’s. I’ve seen many 800s go for $1000- $1800 that only need a carb clean and few other odds and ends.

@aydenrich262 7 месяцев назад

That’s what they all say “needs a carb clean”

@roberthickman2953 7 месяцев назад

@Bikelife22023 7 месяцев назад

I love that bike !!! Sounds so amazing haven’t got to ride in 4 years 😞 can’t afford a bike work every day and still can’t afford one but one of these years I’ll have one 😂

@anthonyblacker8471 7 месяцев назад

What a SCORE on that bike Joe, AMAZING!!

@speertownspecials 7 месяцев назад

Me and alot of people have all probably been wondering if you filled the coolant I have been wiggin out the whole time saying out loud coolant coolant, damn it Joe hahaha nice score tho.

@ni_wink84 7 месяцев назад

No, no one else thought that… just you

@artlizarraga677 7 месяцев назад

Great RU-vid channel , you have great skills and a great dog however when purchasing a two stroke motocross bike I always take out the ignition cover to check for the play on the crank by hand 🤚, and I noticed that chain obviously need it lubricant , you seem to find great deals on bikes and I’m always looking forward to see how do you fix the bikes issues ! Fortunately this bike was a very good deal , I hope some day you restore one of the two strokes you have I wonder how would you approach a restoration project , thank for posting your videos

@JohnDoeEagle1 7 месяцев назад

There's a good market for older mechanically sound beat up cosmetically bikes. Actually they are the most fun to ride and use because everything mechanical is rebuilt or new so it won't break down and leave you setting. It's not perfect so you can ride it hard without worrying about scratching or crashing it. You can use it for a backup or spare bike to loan family and friends to have something to ride at get togethers. My cousins and I grew up riding 2-stroke motocross dirt bikes in the 1970's and 1980's. When I go over to his house for family dinners and reunions he has a barn full of about 20 bikes like this. We all jump on one and go around the farm to rip them. Several of us are highly experienced riders and are very good at it. Some of my other cousins and their grand-kids and kids aren't. It's nice to put them on something that runs good, yet if they lay it down it's not a huge issue.

@bilinda508 7 месяцев назад

Vinny loved it right from the get go!!!!

@leewaken5059 7 месяцев назад

The bike's "complete" without many fasteners.🤔 So is it "complete"?🤷🏽‍♂ A lot of the existing fasteners are random pieces of hardware off of his lawnmower!🙄 Ten minutes of ride time, with decades of filth. "Why would he run a brand new top end without any coolant?" Well just look at the bike. Did he ever do anything correct? When a hammer is needed to remove the caliper, then by all means, rebuild the brake calipers! The assisstance of a screwdriver does not constitute a proper "fix/repair"! Top end is fresh indeed.👍🏼 Hope you can save this one, Joe.👊🏼

@ronniejarvis2679 7 месяцев назад

That’s one of the best running 125’s you’ve bought

@davidmcgahan5328 4 месяца назад

@ghostrider1244 7 месяцев назад

Not reved to 8k.

@michaelmahaffey3201 7 месяцев назад

Congratulations! For me, you and others inspired me to purchase an Adventure Bike, the one you all think is not, 2023 CB500x. Love it and I’m new at this, outside of ATVs. I laughed at your comment in a previous video about not being intimidated by those professionals on some videos and that most guys were middle aged graying beards and chubby lol. Me on the dot. The content I love is the camping, exploration from the riders POV and seeing other bikes go through the terrain. So keep blending those clips and enjoy the rides for us who don’t have cool places to ride. Far East cost here, so not much around without hours of travel. I know, sucks! Ha.

@stkyfngrszmooth 5 месяцев назад

I had one of these back in the day. It had awesome low-end great mid-range and zero top-end power. This thing straight rips. Where mine used to sign off, this one starts to make even more power. I remember Eric Gore's name being highly respected back then. Now I see why.

@paul340mopar 7 месяцев назад

Had a 1976 RM 125 I got from my Buddy and went through and restored it. That thing was really Pipey and would pull the front wheel without even trying. Saw a fully restored one go on Bring a Trailer this year for $8600!

I have a yz85 just rebuilt bottom and top end, has compression and spark but just not getting gas, I’ve cleaned the carb about 10 times now and adjusted the float put in new jets checked the reeds, but it’s a knockoff chinese carb on it, think an oem carb would fix it? It always ran with the Chinese carb before

@jmendo2546 7 месяцев назад

The guy took the master link lock clip for his other bike I bet. I had a 1994 Cr125 I fully rebuilt crank/ wiseco piston & ring/ moose racing flywheel I sold a couple years ago for $900 running driving bike with new tires and seat cover also

@neutonrenda2303 7 месяцев назад

Looks like the previous owner didn't finish putting it back together properly.👍

@takedeadaim8671 7 месяцев назад

Yeah I think I would have checked every nut, bolt and screw on that thing before riding it. Oh and put coolant in before starting it, they heat up very fast with none in them.

@robertdavies8318 7 месяцев назад

fined a Maico 250 440 or a 490 would love to see you sort out one of those

@lesliewood3616 6 месяцев назад

Very nice score my friend . I got a friend with new plastic's & complete sticker kit. Idk if they're repop's 🤔 & I could ask if he would sell. Don't know what they're worth to be honest ?. Sweet bike & what you got it for is crazy . Let me know I will ask. Glade you didnt hurt yourself with the chain ordeal 💯😮. Salute 2.V 😎👍

@lwitcher11 7 месяцев назад

Love your videos, just one question, is there a reason you don't pressure wash your projects before working on them?

@lumberjaxe8910 7 месяцев назад

Probably because it may remove any evidence of defects, leaks, shorting out etc.

@chadriddle3517 7 месяцев назад

@davidmancinone1541 7 месяцев назад

Did you ever come across a 1986 yamaha tt 350 dualsport?well thats what i got,its a great trail bike,not so much motocross worthy,gotta rebuild one of those double carbs youve worked on before,with primary and secondary,where ones manually operated and the other vacuum,i think,love tur videos,i learn so much

@JDTECH22 7 месяцев назад

To me it sounded like the clutch might of been slipping at high rpm . Could just need adjusted but it would rev up and you could hear it pause and then rev higher. It just sounded like clutch slip to me right before you would shift to the next gear.

@Odder-Being 7 месяцев назад

I also noticed that and made a comment about it. You can easily hear it. Also when he first started the bike you can hear the engine or just the exhaust resonating against the frame.

@brainstain22 7 месяцев назад

I thought the same. I have a 92 RM125 with a brand new clutch ...basket..springs and pressure plate. Its not as bad but it still sounds like that. I want to pull it apart just to check it.
