The crank rod for this bike was discontinued. I found the last one for sale in the U.S. and then had it professionally rebuilt which took more than 2 weeks. That's why this bike took so long to rebuild. Sorry for the long wait on this one! Hopefully you guys enjoy the video!

3:00 I'd really recommend buying a seal puller. They are dirt cheap and you would have had that seal out in seconds without risking damage to the casing mating surfaces. They work good on fork seals too, not just in casings.

@markhensley9378 2 года назад

As I said before, these little bikes are especially interesting because I had some good times with my son on one. Best decision I ever made. That was many years ago when parts were plentiful. Shame about your parts problems with this one. Thanks again for your time today and enjoy your weekend.

@thevoxofreason8468 2 года назад

Keep doing what you're doing man. Keep learning and bringing these older machines back to life. Love to see it. You remind me of myself and my good friend. We ran a shop a long while back (90s through 00s) and I've had the pleasure of working on about 99% of the bikes you've done on your channel... and many others. Watching your vids brings back great memories. I still wrench and ride, but the wrenching part is only maintenance now on the few machines I own... and I guess vicariously through channels like yours.

@bananabrooks3836 2 года назад

So much for bedding the rings in before giving it the beans! Still, it's good to see it rebuilt rather than broken for parts.

@2vintage 2 года назад

I took it pretty easy for the first 5 mins lol

@ofnaguycarlwatts8602 Год назад

Joe Joe doesn't know how to break an Engine at all !!

@garageman327327 2 года назад

Had a flashback when you turned into the drive at the end of the test ride coming off the road. I was about 11 at the time and did pretty much the same thing on my 1978 YZ 80 and lost the front end on the blacktop driveway with fresh sealer on it. Good lesson about knobbies on slick surfaces.

@project4stroke876 2 года назад

quick tip for removing old crappy crank seals.. Drill in a wood screw into it and rip it out with some vice grips.

@junkerjason7637 2 года назад

I had one of these 1985 yz 80s back in the day. Definitely a riper. I actually added a tooth on the front sprocket over stock because it had enough power to easily handle the taller ratio

I love LT80’s! They will surprise you. They haul an adult around like nobody’s business!

@JohnnieBravo1 2 года назад

@@lorollinls yes they will! I took my Yamaha Warrior, the LT 80 and and one of my best friends up to the farm a couple years ago. He is 6'2" tall, and the image of him on that little quad reminds me of Artie Johnson, on Laugh In, on that tricycle. He was flying across the property, hitting burms and flying through the air, his knees almost in his face, screaming like a little girl. I'd give anything now to have had a video of that. Just remembering it has me in the floor in stitches.

@xeonlyfe 2 года назад

I bought a 1997 YZ80 frame and am putting a YZ125 engine in it and just watching this helped show me more about this bike and I want to thank you!

@katoom-ju6vo 2 года назад

This is awesome. Back in the day, I had an '84 YZ 80. Very similar to yours, but colors were yellow and black that year. Seeing this brings back some great memories. Nice job on getting this bike back to running. Thanks for posting.

@twitch4227 Год назад

I used to own a 1988 yz80 and that thing was a blast especially when the powerband kicked in. I hated to get rid of it but hopefully I'll be able to find another just to play around on.

@PaulHigginbothamSr 2 года назад

I would like to have an old 80 yz but that last connecting rod and no cranks really puts me off. Being old it might last the rest of my days but would be fun. Looked like over 70 on the highway and more than 60 down the field, enough to bust your butt real good. It needed the rear suspension hardened up for your weight.

@RDEnduro 2 года назад

This was the first dirtbike i ever got to see close up when I was a kid. They really do rip for an 80! Remember that movie Dirtbike kid? The kid from A Christmas Story gets a Yamaha another kid throws away. puts lights on it, fixes it up and it comes to life lol

@timjohnson9230 2 года назад

You should find a cheap oven for your garage. Use that to heat the cases. That's what I do anyway. Works great

@audioextremez 2 года назад

Clutch is definitely slipping from 3rd gear on. Might want to tighten it up before you have to put a new clutch in it lol. Otherwise great video! If parts were more available I would def. Consider buying an old yz80. Might have to get me the yz85 since parts are more available. Such fun bikes! Keep up the awesome content bro!

@dattyd1 2 года назад

@smileskindheart1085 2 года назад

@deborahchesser7375 2 года назад

There is no tightening it up, time for new friction plates at least, maybe steel plates too.

@mickluke9228 2 года назад

Well done on your rebuild. You mentioned your front sprocket was worn there's a chance it is not your clutch plates your front sprocket could be just spinning/sleeping

@bdog4u2 Год назад

I have a 2000 yz80 and a 2006 yz85. I already rebuilt the whole motor for the 85 and the frame is getting powder coated. The yz80 I cleaned up and replaced plastics. This is my son's beater bike while we are rebuilding the 85. Some parts are even a pain to get for the 2000

@RcOffroad9513 2 года назад

In 1999, I bought a brand new kx 80, I was 17, my little buddy got 1 of these to ride with me. The sound of that 3ngine brings back alot of memories. My 99 kx 80 was smooth and fast, but the Yz 80 was nasty! The power band kicks in so fast, it felt so weird after riding the 99 kx. Which was a little faster on top end I thi k I got the kx 80 to go about 60mph if I remember correctly. Cool video, thanks for Sharing!

@GilesVessey 2 года назад

@scottbehl216 2 года назад

Sounds excellent. Nothing like the sound of a 2 cycle !! Nice job !!

@sebrandomstuff 2 года назад

Sounds like clutch slipping from 3rd and up. Great video anyways. Epoxi is a risky decision for such an important role and the original cause that killed the engine. It will tend to fail over time. A mechanical interference solution would be better. Keep up the 2t resurrection!

@jordanhowell3870 Год назад

shouldnt there be a slot for the propellor to grab the shaft?

@Workerbee-zy5nx 11 месяцев назад

I had a buddy get that bike, brand new in 85. It was cherry, and he took care of it. He joined the navy, went to fight for Cheney oil in the middle east..not sure if he made it back, but the elite mans oil is secure....

@davesplace1307 2 года назад

This is the perfect candidate for a nice build joe! Ide like to see a fmf fatty or even a gold series. Maybe some vforce 3 reeds, a little port and polish work. Maybe a 100cc kit. Oh yeah

@Owen.o2 2 года назад

Quick tip for putting in cranks or really anything with bearings or important parts like that. When you freeze them put some WD40 on the bearings etc so when the part unthaws the condensation doesn’t cause rust. Love the vids keep up the good work🤍

@bhoss7133 2 года назад

That's a good idea! Not being a smart ass but the word you want is just - thaw. The "un" is unnecessary. My wife says unthaw all the time and it makes me laugh

@fullmetaljacket7 2 года назад

15:08 you're going to fry that engine again because of an 80 dollars part. 22W-12450-00 is the p/n for that impeller.

@Cody_4 2 года назад

I was thinking the same thing. 🤦‍♂️

@sugashizane 2 года назад

I always use gasket maker or case sealant on the intake gaskets on both sides on all 2 strokes, because with out it, it will leak cause it to run lean.. or leaner than you thought. If you leak down test the motor it will tell you if your intake, cases, cylinder to cases, and head are leaking/ not holding the pressure it needs to lube bottom of the crank case

@casey8207 2 года назад

@RealSuburbanCowboy 2 года назад

Get yourself a seal puller, makes that job MUCH easier. Also, it kills me that you don't clean up those parts before putting new parts in. I would be worried about dirt getting into the new parts. It is just so much nicer to work with clean parts. Put that case in the oven at 200 degrees for 10 minutes and that frozen bearing will fall into place.

@iancampbell6002 2 года назад

The cleaning part is so true... I always clean stuff up and if it's torn apart that much I sometimes paint stuff

@8180634 2 года назад

I had that exact bike as a kid. It sounds like your clutch is slipping, fix that up and it will pull harder. Also that exhaust leak where the pipe meets the head was a common problem, I can see yours leaking from the smoke when you were in the garage, that will take a little power away too. There were some copper crush gaskets that would seal that up for a while but they will eventually wear through, and I'm not sure where you would buy them these days. High temp sealant might work for a while.

@jefferybye2169 2 года назад

Use map gas. Burns hotter than the blue tank. A tad more heat= tad more expansion = less hammering on bearing

@richardb8492 2 года назад

It is like you are riding your first 2 stroke. I've ridden a lot (75-100) of 2 stroke bikes both on and off road and the YZ80 was close to the most impressive for powerband. The Maico 490 was also a scary ass arm jerker on powerband but the Yamaha V4 RZV500R is just completely insane and wants to rip your hands off the hand grips.

Might be just me, but I think the clutch was slipping , hard to tell in the video. You need 1/8th of an inch free play in your cable at the perch. Also before you put your seals in you should have put 2 stroke oil on your bearings.
