Your channel is brilliant man. As you diagnose and repair the bike you say to a camera what you would say to yourself anyway. It gives you an excuse to talk to yourself as a mechanic, and get paid for it. Bravo!

@robfoster9791 10 месяцев назад

When I was like 13 I got my first honda 200s 3 wheeler and loved it. Then I traded that for an 83 honda 200x. I did I rebuild on it. Top end and clutch. I didn't have my dad around to teach me. I just took stuff apart and Pais attention. I would love to get a honda 250r. V been watching your videos non stop and the play lists. Thanks for the hard work. Keep it up

@seansysig 10 месяцев назад

Joe, good diagnosis! The tell tale was the hard stop trying to go to 4th and 1-3 were good. Shift fork install lacked attention to positioning of fork pin. Can’t wait to see you rip it around.

That bike will be a little ripper if I remember the 90s at all (I do) and one man's minor mistake (but it DOES happen) is absolutely another man's fortune! What GREAT find!!! Nice work man

@walterwilliams210 10 месяцев назад

Glad you got it figured out, i had something like this too. They said it was a 2001 yz125, wouldn’t go past 3rd gear. Turns out it was an 03 w 5 gears as I opened up the cases, went thru the tranny. Someone added another gear, now I’m ripping it. Your channel taught me a lot and give me confidence in fixing something that isn’t running or running right, also ppl who follow you and give tips, I like to read your comments and add that to my bag. Thanks Joe!

Joe is a beast so dam good an calm I wish u were closer I bring u bike I bought face book yz125 2003 an it didn't have 2 gear an missing alot of bolts I'm putting alot cash into it I plan on racing it against new bikes I'm wip there ass old against new

@harrypalmer291 3 месяца назад

I have never heard of a yz125 being built with anything other than 6 gears. Most people can't be counted on for accuracy in technical specs.

that CR was on a shifter Kart at one point in it's life - that's why the is a brass plug in the case by the reed block, that's where you would put your fitting to run a pulse line to run a fuel pump

I made exactly the same mistake when i rebuilt my first ever bike engine. I Had zero experience with anything mechanical and it was a huge learning curve .That was when i was 16years old way back in 1979 .My trusty old kawasaki Z250. Great memories,.I was gutted to have to strip it down twice but i never made that mistake again. This is a Fantastic blow by blow account of how to do it by the way. Keep up the good work my friend.

@GNX157 10 месяцев назад

A good tool for when you need to pry some covers off, is plastic bike tire levers for a road or mountain bike. They’re small for tight spaces but will help keep from marring gasket mating surfaces.

Most underrated RU-vid id say entertaining and teaches people about bikes

@DynoSauR4Truth 10 месяцев назад

I saw you doing something in this video around 18 minutes in that I thought that you would have known. When you think the engine is flooded, you need to hold the throttle wide open with the choke off and crank it until it clears out the excess fuel. Don't keep operating the throttle off and on as you crank it.

@coloradodirtbike5930 10 месяцев назад

He's been doing that habit of his for years now. Common sense to hold throttle full open when it's flooded, but I guess he doesn't know, and twisting the throttle every time just continues to flood it.

@gtisid 10 месяцев назад

id order up a set of sprockets too that front one is toast. great find that one . id convinced myself one of the gears was in backwards but forks in wrong order is an easy one to do . but bad that didnt test trans before putting cases back together. but this is gow we learn

@davidheilman1613 10 месяцев назад

Good Job Joe! Some guy's tired, gets in a hurry, makes a silly mistake, and it doesn't shift. He may have even known it, but just didn't want to unbolt that engine, split the cases, buy another Gasket set, and put it all back together. Sometimes ya just are sick of something, and the idea of tearing it all down again. . . Well, just one of the reasons why some people drink?

@bradley7723 10 месяцев назад

You solved that one, it happens more frequently than one would think. Rule of thumb check that it shifts before joining case halfs like Joe did and once more when halfs are joined but before the final bolt torque. We'll done.

I sure miss my 98 cr250r. Who knows maybe one day the guy that stole it out my cousins driveway will blow it up and sell it to ya real cheap. What a great bike it was. I'd get another if I wasn't so old now. 41. Enjoy your young life guys it goes way to fast. Now I love my Lincoln Town Car and need dentures. Not only do I not have a system in the trunk anymore but I rarely turn on the radio. If you think Iv got loud pipes now you'd be wrong. Yeah when you hit 40 you get fat and things drop. Life changes in many ways. Still miss my old bike tho. If I ever was to find it I'd have more than bad words for he who stole it. Love watching this channel tho.

@harrypalmer291 3 месяца назад

Always check for a "in specifications " leakdown of the crankcase seals is your 1ST step in checking the mechanical health of a 2 stroke. It will not, absolutely not , start and run properly with leaking seals.

@in4theride75 9 месяцев назад

What a crappy mistake. Such a small thing like a shift fork can really set you back. In 1993 the Cr's were white and atomic red with a weird blue and white Cr graphic on the shroud. Not bad looking bikes I remember seeing them in showrooms brand new. Yeah, I'm old lol. Good job Joe she's gonna be a ripper next vid.

From the 5:00 mark it’s clear the carb has a serious problem with the choke stuck, yet he continues faffing about trying to start it till much later when it wets a new plug and he decides it must have a carb problem. Ya think? Why would you go any further trying to start at 5 min when you’ve gotta know the carb needs to come off?
