WHY THIS MUSIC - i dont like it too, but I had some copyright claim and had to change entire video music using song from youtube library that is long enough to cover entire video.. sucks. the song in the video was the only one I could use since it had to be over 15 minutes long.. so its either this song or no video at all..
Thanks for your video It's a bran new bike. But without the cost of new. I'm sure the updates cost some, what a good job. Not your first time turning wrenches. Thanks again
thanks Tom! yea, it is a very nice shop, its not mine tho.. this bike was build by my friend, I am just featuring it here on my channel. All credit to Michael and Jay ;)
ok, one has to admit that, even if this work is a bit useless as far as the starting bike is already a very good one, the final bike is, after your work, perfect. but what you guys do with the old parts?
With these builds, it sure would be nice to know what the total cost was after the fact. Sure, you got the bike for $800, but spent how many thousands in parts and labor?
Quite a bit, but these builds are not about money. Its a labor of love, definitely not for everyone, it does make more sense to take those funds and buy new bike, for most of the guys.
This one's going to be an epic timelapse, just let me grab a beer and I'm out for 23 minutes :D PS. thx for the detailed description of parts used in this build!
@@dirtniron I loved the beer, thx. haha JK ;) Just finished, had to vapor blast few things (Built my own hydroblasting cabinet few months ago, one of the first here in Poland, and having fun on it :) The video and build was amazing! Love every aspect of it! The details on the bike are stunning! When I saw the engine oil I was like "wait, that latte color isn't good" and then he opened the water pump ;) Would prefer the original plastics on it with some great factory-loook graphics but it came out sharp! To be honest, you should make a 125 project yourself. Can't wait for your YZ250 to YZ250X built videos. Purchased A YZ250X 3 months ago so that's a project for me :) If you like, and have some time you can check my newest video - YZ 250X - blue autumn, nothing spectacular but tried to push it on the "edit side" a bit. All the best and keep the videos coming! Cheers, Jack
SupermotoTrolls sounds like you are staying busy!! Hydroblasting is the way to go, i guess you can make some money there, do guys in poland 🇵🇱 like to restore stuff?
@@dirtniron Sorry for answering so late. Been busy ;) Here in Poland people mostly restore old, Polish bikes from the 70's and 80's like WFM, WSK, JUNAK. But now I see a trend for getting dirt bikes pimped, thanks to Teddy Blazusiak, the sport is getting popular and more people ride offroad, what I find amazing! I love factory look and hope Vapor Blasting will be "the thing" here because it will make bike parts better than factory "look" on a budget. Thingers crossed :) All the best man!
@@grahamdowdell4356 Hell yeah, plus where i live in the portland,or area I look at craigslist all the time and there are never any good buys on used dirt bikes to fix up.
I dont understand how people remember where the bolts go. Im 15 and planning on going to take classes at the community college but i can do smaller things but im scared if i took my whole bike apart at once i would forget everything
@4:40 can't believe somebody let that plan go through of putting the front axle pinch bolts facing forward on the low part of the fork lug, smh. dragging/pushing through ruts
I love this build/restoration videos but in the same time its pissing me off because i know this bike costs more than a brand new one whitout the sponsor stuff on it ! And i cant afford that on my bike....
yea, you are right. It doesnt make sense for average rider to spend this much on the bike. this is a passion project build for the magazine, but its really cool to see it come alive, right?
@@dirtniron for sure but i want to do this to my bike... I have a 2004 yz 250 "had it for a long time" and ive put som money into it but to do all this is not possible at least not in sweden... =(
Awesome. And finally with an kx😍 instead of all those ktm and yz. Sure im a kawi fan but not that I don't like the ktm and Yamahas but, it's what almost every video is about, so it was so awesome to see this video, and a good explained one with the hole build filmed also. 10/10 from here. Not sure my own kx125 2004 build is going to turn out as great like this,but i can hope.😁 Cheers from Denmark :) And someone in the thread is speaking about the cost, well you are not doing something like this to "save" money, but to bring those awesome bikes to life again. When mine is done, i might as well have boughy a brand new bike of the retailers floor instead of doing this,but you cant get a kx125 anymore can you now😉
I have a 1998, when I bought it it ran and rode, with a few issues but otherwise a good bike. I got it for $850. Currently it needs some parts and it is broken down but I'm heading towards fixing it. I have done tons of work to it previously but still have a long journey ahead of me.
Great video!! A+++++ What tool did you use for to hold the clutch basket still while you tightened it up? They look like vice grips, I can't find it on ebay, and I think I'm looking up the wrong keywords. Thanks, Cheers!
Yea that’s right.. its not about the money tho, guys who build these project bikes are not looking for profit, its a labor of love, very satisfying work, and we even like the fact that its a lot of work. Once its all done and you see the accomplishment it feels so much better than looking at 2020 bike.
My 2 stroke just got back from the workshop, started first kick but didn’t hold idle and than just didn’t start from there. What could be wrong and how can I fix it?
Wow, thanks for the websites. I'm going to try to get a KDX125 from 1996 back into working shape, man it's hard to find parts for it. Any other suggestions for engine rebuild parts is appreciated.
When you said Mike Fisher I was hoping it was going to be a 1990 KX 125 😞 he helped develop those bikes and was riding them in 1987 or 1988, must have looked like aliens had just dropped them out the sky to those that witnessed him riding them way back then, still nice looking bikes now 👍🏼
@@chopperhehehe pulpmx.com/2010/12/05/tell-us-another-story-mike-fisher/ "build was done by Michael Fischer working closely with Jay Clark" is that a mis spelling or different person? 👍🏼
Nice one just had a look all my mates had hondas and yamaha and one husqvarna mine was like a rolls Royce over the bumps absoluly loved that bike stick out as most happy bike lol chears for the info 👍👍👍😜🏴🦄😁✌️
They are the shrouds off a 2008 KX450f. I produce the bracket kits to make them work on 2003 and newer KX’s. If interested fell free to message me on Instagram @fischer927 or send me an email at mfischer927@gmail.com. Thanks!
Could anyone picture this bike metallic purple with gun metal or white trim? Or any other metallic color with gun metal or white trim? we usually always see stock colors. Would be nice to see a change!! Love this bike, and very well done friend!! Thank you for sharing!!!
Hello, I have a question. I have a 2001 kx 250 and would like to install newer dampers. Which tripleclap do I need and which suspension can you recommend to me. need urgent help thanks
This came out beautiful!!!! Was curious when you do total rebuilds like this do you ever sell them? Love ur channel. Rainy day today so ill be binge watching you all day!! Awesome work!!!🤘
I just got a 1995 kx125 but cant find a full top and bottom rebuild kit for a 1995. Does anyone know if any other rebuild kits newer than 1995 would fit it?
An Abused Top End.... I bet the person who rode this bike never gave 2 thoughts of warming up the bike before a ride, not to forget ever topping up the coolant levels.
What is the point in making a video like this that you watch in fast forward. He said " your going to love it". I didnt get anything out of it. Did every body love watching this?
I dont get the Kawasaki black plastic. Green fender? I could see Kawasaki green plastic in its entirety with any accent colors one would choose . Green plastic, not black.wtf
Beautiful bike but idk if I would put that much into a 125.. I'd be bored with the lack of power after 15 mins. Last 125 I owned was a 1998 YZ125 and I constantly had it pinned wide open on the trails.
