Tail light looks like it is upside down. The clear part is supposed to face down to illuminate the license plate. Good rebuild. Classic!

@seansemsar8059 Год назад

I do agree with you there

The headlight lense looks crooked also but hey, the rebuild was awesome

@tracysellman1562 5 месяцев назад

The tail light is upside down. The clear spot is supposed to go down it reflects off the chrome fender and lights up the license plate. God forbid you get pulled over on this speed demon and the Police can't read the plate. lol I had 3 of these, the 50cc the 70cc and the 90cc 1974-77 Joe, that was funny Jaden was doing the walk of shame up the driveway, She is going to kill you! lol :)

@itsmephil2255 Год назад

As much as the engine build was awesome.. Jade trying to ride the bike was hilarious in a good way 😆

It has such a cute little piston, I could use it as a keychain for my Himalayan! Classic little bike, a true vintage machine

This was my first dirt bike I was four!! Now I'm 40!! Bringing back memories thanks!

@badavis84 Год назад

this was my first bike too!! i wish i still had it.

@airadaimagery692 Год назад

My neighbor had this bike, and I had the Elsinore 50. I would smoke him, but they were both fun as heck to ride!

@kennythomas9066 Год назад

Wow that was my very 1st dirt bike also. Mine was a 1970 and had only front shocks. I was 11 yes old. I rode the wheels off that thing. And it brings back a ton of memories. I especially remember having to share it with my 5 year yonger little brother. It was a blast for years.

@kennythomas9066 Год назад

I watch your Chanel a lot. Find myself wanting to reach in and give a helping hand but that be a long reach as I'm in Florida. So I go back out in my shop work on stuff I have collected from here. Now I just finished re-doing the top end on a 03 kfx 400 I recently aquired.acquired. I really enjoy it.

@user-fi3fx5my2s 4 месяца назад

Love rebuilding the old monkey bikes, always a ton of family history attached to them. Done several, lot of fun to fix. Did one in January for an old farmer down the road, finished it up, he and his grandson came to pick it up. When it fired up, he was very emotional. Grandson rode it home. See him about every weekend out riding it at his place. Warms the heart...

@ihateandreykrasnokutsky 2 месяца назад

I'm learning motorcycles' workings, so such videos are very helpful for me. Many things I see here are totally new for me.

@philanders3705 11 месяцев назад

The first dirt bike I ever rode was a 1977 z50! My friend, Blair, who only came around every other weekend to visit his dad, had one, and we'd ride it up and down the driveway for hours. It sparked a love affair with bikes that still persists to this day over 40 years later. 🥰

@naptime43x 3 дня назад

I have a 72 in need of a rebuild, wish I had a friend like you haha. This was really interesting to watch and gives me an idea of the work involved in breaking down and rebuilding one of these.

@sandmanbub Год назад

I had one of those. My Honda Z50A was blue with the chrome fenders. Gave it to my sister when I got a Yamaha DT360. Was stolen twice. Got it back the first time, but no luck the second. Was a fun bike. I had friends that had Trail Hoppers, YZ80's and XR75s and we used to ride around the neighborhood at night, trying not to be seen by the police. I have a lot of fond memories of those days. Honda sold them with 2 different carb. slides and also a restrictor plate in the exhaust system. The plate was removed and the better slide installed for better performance. Whoop!

@russellgilson4072 6 месяцев назад

I got a Z50 the first year Honda brought this bike to market I believe 1968. Rode the tires literally right off the rims, fine piece of engineering that even a teenager couldn't wear out!

@donspringer8222 Год назад

Huge credit to your wife for trying. The Z50 was the cool thing to have when I was a kid. Great video and keep up the good work. You're giving me incentive to get back to work on my 65 Honda 305 Dream.

@boomer2095 6 месяцев назад

What is interesting to think about, is that of all the bikes and ATV’s Joe has repaired. This Z-50 will still be in the shape it is right now 200 yrs from now because of its rarity, and small size, and it is easily stored, displayed and collected.

@joemusicman64 Год назад

Real cool little Honda. Grew up riding these with friends. Good job bringing her back. One suggestion, use the oem carb if they have it.

@MrCelticatheart Год назад

Oh nooooo Jade's walk of shame! hahaha Joe this looks bad on you that you didn't take time to show her how to ride one of those. pretty funny I enjoyed it.

@eileenheitman4351 Год назад

I’ve seen, in the aftermarket, a 75 cc engine with a 4 speed for $300 or so. It’s bolt in. The after market parts availability is huge. You could build one completely with all aftermarket parts. I gave mine to my grandson. He loves it. We talk about blasting it apart and restoring but have yet to do it. I ride a 2005 V-max. Quite a contrast. Fun. Dave in Omaha

@jamesthurber8807 Год назад

Jade is a good sport. "You know I don't have the balance for this". Filmed her walk up the drive. If that was my wife, much editing would be needed. Thanks for joining Jade. And engine rebuild was informative as usual.

Awh Joe you guys are the BEST little family!!

@kellyballard1773 Год назад

I started riding on a 1968 or 69 hardtail z50 that was burgundy and silver. I honestly was no more than 3 yo. Believe it or not but it's true. I'm now 54. I would love to have it back. Unlike some people, I'm not going to pick your work. You do a good job and I hope that you are making a living working on motorcycles. Great job and keep finding the old ones.

@eileenheitman4351 Год назад

I was gifted a 1976 Z50. It had been sitting for years. My grandson and I removed, drained and rinsed the tank, cleaned the carb....used same old gaskets, filed and set points, cleaned/gapped the plug, added fresh gas and vroom! It smoked but after a few rides the smoke stopped. Stuck rings. It looks ratty but Honda build quality is remarkable. Dave in Omaha

@myguitaryourface5160 Год назад

I learned how to ride when I was 6 years old and it was a 70s model painted like a Harley Davidson in blue metal flake,and also owned a orange and black 79 z50,also learned how to do a rebuild on it too,seeing this makes it feel like it was yesterday

@joemusicman64 Год назад

I agree with other poster. It's down on power. Even though it's a 50 it should have reved up more. Nice vid. I would have given an arm to have one of these as a kid.

@anthonyblacker8471 Год назад

Those screws on the clutch, probably all the case screws too, they're probably JIS - I think that's Japanese Industrial Standard or something like that, if you try to use s standard American Phillips #2 or #3 you're just going to strip them right out, they almost have little wings on the screwdriver next to the + of the Phillips slot. NEED a set of JIS drivers!!

@bueller48 Год назад

My brother and I both learned on a Honda 50. We thought it was a 77, but must have been a 79 without the lights and chrome. He went in half-sies with my dad and at dealer a year model later. I think it was about $800 then. We rode it until about 1990 when I was 12 and it stopped running. sold if for basically nothing in about 1998. The thing always fired up after a kick or 2 growing up though. good stuff.

I really enjoy seeing all the weird vehicles you get into on your channel! I've had a few of the Honda 50s. Question on the application of the case gasket silicone; I noticed that you only put the silicone on one half of the case. Was that intentional or just an oversight?
