80cc Yamaha was my first dirt-bike back in 1975. i was 6 years old. couldnt touch the ground, couldnt pull the clutch. my dad put me on it, he got on the back, took off and he slide off the back. there i was 6 years old riding my first dirt-bike. i stood on a crate or i ran alongside and jumped on after that. dad modified the clutch leaver alil longer so i could pull the clutch. i could even start it. by jumping with both feet and all my? what? 30 pounds?.. lol love ur videos. u bring back alot of memories of growing up in SoCal riding dirt-bikes in the desert. u remind me of my grandfather, he worked on small engines. he was quite, reserved and had a lot of patience. he loved to tinker. thank u for taking the time to make these videos us. u are teaching a lot of people with this channel.

Had a buddy back in 85 buy that same red and white bike brand spanking new. He had the shop manual, the tools and spare top end parts. He had fun breaking it in, and he rode it and took good care of it. It's probably still in his garage. He joined the air force and moved back to beautiful Tennessee. Great friend!!!

@markhensley9378 2 года назад

I bought 2 1987s for my son in 1993 one had a good engine and one had a great chassis. Paid $500 for both and built one great bike for him. It was his first one and he had a blast. He still rides to this day. Good luck with your project. I'll be watching the progress. Thanks again for your time today and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Get a portable light or something, for filming. Chuch it on the floor. Use it when showing things, especially underneath, like the oil drain-bolt. Couldn't see it... Get a portable light 👍

That is such a cool little bike!!! I wanted one so bad when I was a kid! Once again, excellent video sir! I really enjoy watching and learning when you split the cases and do more in depth work. It would be really cool if you cleaned up the bike and bought a graphics kit for it! Great video!!

@titletownclowns1545 2 года назад

I just cross referenced the whole crank numbers from other years and engine sizes and they are the same as the ones you are having a hard time finding. The engine size is the bore being bigger but use the same rod and lower crank assembly. Joe, I completely agree with the 2 stroke oil in the crank case and straight gas in the tank, Bel Ray oil comes in blue color as Klotz is red. Props for getting a lot of "box parts bikes" going lately. Pops

@mikespain8655 2 года назад

Cool bike in pretty good shape overall. Another seller that lied. Lots of sellers lie. Never believe the seller. Once labor and time is added, not enough profit to justify a rebuild. Look forward to the next video on this YZ80.

Had one back in 83 & 84. When it quit it quit hard. Was my 3rd bike, started with an XR 75, CR 80, Free YZ 80 mx, then on to CR 125 and Jr moto x. Loved those old little buzzing 2 strokes. Still do.

Looks like the whole crankshaft is identically with the one from the DT80LC here in Europe, the motors were built ny Minarelli of Italy, would go for a aftermarket one, they are as good as the OEM ones by now... Great content, thx a lot! :-D

@davesplace1307 2 года назад

You said it right joe! The 80cc is a nice build to start with. Ide love to see you do a massive build on this! 100cc kit, port and polish, some good reeds and etcc. Let's see a good budget, all out build! This would be a much better series than the turbo 400ex. And you should be able to finish it all completely!!!!

Loved my YZ best, sounded the best, super fast. Got it from a guy who had torn it down and sold it in boxes. For an 82 it was sweet, then went on to 83 CR 125 that little sucker was a beast on the track, miss those days.

@orionwarren4244 2 года назад

My son started bugging me when he was 7 yrs old for a dirt bike. I told him he had to wait till he was 10. Damn if those 3 years didn't fly by. His constant reminding me every birthday didn't help either. Long story short, I found a clapped out YZ80 that ran ok and spent the winter leading up to his birthday fixing it up like new. He was surprised and so was I. How FAST that little bike was. He caught on pretty quick loves to ride and started his own YT channel last year: 970dirtriderz!😃

Had a Yz 80 when I was like 12 or 13, was free. That little booger would boogie. My dad gave it to one of my cousins cause I was riding CR 125 racer and was starting to race it locally. Oh, the good old days.

@RyZe ツ how old is your boy ? Is hes 14 get him a kx85{if he has already familiar with 2 strokes !!) ,KTM85 if hes like 10 maybe a kx65 to get him use to a 2stroke. If not the KLX110 is a great learners bike . also a TTR70

@theboogieman401 2 года назад

@RyZe ツjust save up until u have 1200 to 1500 and you can get him a nice used bike , especially for him even 800$ can get him somthing in the kid range . deals are out there

@vadimkargin3200 2 года назад

Try millenium technologies. They do nikasil coatings on cylinders, repair cylinders, fit pistons to correct specs, also they do crank rebuilds. I had it done for 1989 kx125. Crank has to be pressed and has to spin true after. They take care of all that. Give it a try, they might have your crank still available. You have to send your old crank to them.

Once again, lemme know if n when its up for sale...since the yz80j was my 1st real bike its nostalgic to me n want to bring 1 to showroom condition n put it in my living room ( even tho mine was yellow n a different year, they look the same). NOSTALGIA! 😃👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

@gtisid 2 года назад

sweet little bike ytoull have to measure the rod just because the specific rod isn't available there will be an aftermarket one somewhere pro x or something like that, had the same issue with an IT 125 . guy who rebuilt the crank knew where to get pattern parts and worked a charm

@lbdrummer3 2 года назад

Haha the green bars. We all have our "special" tools, mine is a fork leg from an 86 FZ600 that we call the persuader. And that blue oil, that's crazy too. My take away on this is that some sellers will say anything to get rid of their junk. Best to always check to see what they are hiding.

@Ed-cg7dl 2 года назад

Fun fact - same bike from the 1985 film “the dirtbike kid” featuring the same kid from a Christmas story. Worth a watch. Laughably awful movie. I swear you’ll love it - It’s on RU-vid for free.

@stoveboltlvr3798 2 года назад

Neat little bike. They're fast for their size. You'd think there would be a better aftermarket for those parts as popular as they are. There had to be thousands of them sold in the states. I guess you could put a 125 engine on it.😃

Hey Joe you should get you a press, and some dies to press them cranks apart .Your pretty mechanically inclined to be able to do it and that would make more bikes available for you to build

@2vintage Hey you can get pro x rod kits for the 82-83 yz80 the only thing different between it an one for 86-92 is the big end crank rod pin is 2mm longer on the 82-83 one. Just order it from proxy page. I am sure were you take it to be changed can take 2mm off

@markh9675 2 года назад

I had an '86 YZ80. It was my baby when I was a teen. When I wasn't riding it, I was washing it, cleaning it, etc. MX bikes weren't a big thing around where I lived, so I felt like a king (at least in my mind, lol) Question, does wisco sell a complete crank for the bike? Sometimes you'll find a new complete crank from the aftermarket. Just an idea for you.
