Those levers are actually really rare. The O’Neal brand made them back in the 80s and called them a total control lever. You can’t find them anywhere nowadays

@theboogieman401 Год назад

Super rare

@reggiexp69 Год назад

kinda funny how he said cheapo ones, if those are cheap i would like to buy the same, cause i never seen any of these befor for sale..

@EarthSurferUSA Год назад

It's a new generation, and we tend to think the world started turning the day we were born. MXA (magazine), is a prime example of not knowing the past in the sport they write about today. Remember the "DeBruiser" cross bar pad that was very popular in the 80's (and probably 90's too), even with many factory riders and privateers using them, (me too)? MXA today laughed at it,---and thought the slit down the side, (to get it on the cross bar), was suppose to hold air,--and it leaked. Not kidding. In print for the world to see man.

All I gotta say is it's amazing how far u have come since u started back in the day w Charlie...Keep up the great work and all rewards in the future u Def earned and deserve. Many more yrs 2 come my friend..cheers...b safe.peace..

@rvfixerguy Год назад

I love the old 2 stroke bikes, dirt and street. Watching your channel keeps me motivated to keep restoring mine, keep up the good work

@kernelbadness Год назад

Tip to get those stuck or over tightened drain bolts. Use a 6 point socket. Firmly tap your wrench with your hand or mallet. 60% of the time works every time. Works for spark plugs also.

@mitchellstarkey397 Год назад

I use 6 points on every bolt I can anyways so I don't strip them

@truck3696 Год назад

If you use a rubber mallet, you can pretty much hit it as hard as you physically can without marring anything.

@hhstarwars Год назад

Did you just quote Brian from anchorman?

@MM_in_Havasu Год назад

You sure got a good score on this bike! Very nice, nothing really wrong with it other than sitting for awhile. Thanks for a great video, Joe!

@eaglebrink Год назад

Damn, here is a 50 year old guy just remembering the good times i had with a '95 bike like that!! The crisp sound underneath ya while riding the track !!! Just does it for me... makes me want to get one again, but my knees would hate me for that!!😁😁😁😁

@TEKKYTWO Год назад

This must be so fun and addictive in a way, looking for that next project online seeing what you can find

@82Beatz Год назад

You did it again joe! Coffee, Apple pie and a new episode.... Morning complete! Thanks bro.. Got to go.... my shows on!!

@fishingwithty9723 Год назад

Dude, I just subscribed. I cannot stop watching your videos. This is just so satisfying how you get these bikes back to life and then you even go out of your way to test ride them just an awesome relaxing video man thank you bro

@robspear03 Год назад

Pffft

@hunterstump9748 Год назад

I bought a 95rm250 a while back in about the same condition an I redone it from the frame up. Parts are so hard to find I had a problem with broken power valve an took me forever to source but I take it to the track every week whooping up on 4 strokes. The 90s bikes still decimate to this day with the right rider

@jaredbauer3058 Год назад

One of the best channels out there if you are into bikes/quads and love wrenching on them. (Ignore the jealousy that appears in the comments and the arm chair quarterbacks that are always willing to tell him what he did "wrong".)

@ethansteffan4257 Год назад

I love these vids, makes me want to restore and get a bike running again. These also help with things to do when getting a bike

@Bri-tg6xr Год назад

I had a 1998 Kx 250, back in the 05s or around there. Sold it to go to college. Loved that bike. Only downfall was it had specific to it's year shock linkage stuff. Looked just like that 95 but had more purple black. I'll be enjoying this video for sure.

@thooke222 Год назад

I think the stock seat color on that was purple but I could be wrong

@heathwak3030 Год назад

like that you’ve started putting the music in the beginning of the video again. the music you choose fits quite well, really adds to the theme of the video

@josephbuehler1081 Год назад

Brother you have the best job alive. Fixer and Ripper. Your content is so awesome. Love your dirt bike fixes...

@103underwood Год назад

word of advice. use atf on 2 strokes for motor oil. yes 4 stroke oil will work but its a gear box and the engine is lubbed up by premix. atf also is a lot thinner and makes all 2 strokes shift like butter. will also prevent your clutches from sticking unlike motor oil

@trentrobertson1815 Год назад

Awesome im watching from New Zealand, I have a 1989-1994 kdx200 ,I rebuild the motor and have done 20hours on it so far ,Awesome bikes to ride

@callmecardo916 Год назад

Man gotta love the sound of a 2 stroke that bike rips really good Nice one👍🏼👍🏼

@dustinfogle6215 Год назад

Warmed up the bike sounds completely different! It runs really good, it needed to be ridden hard an opened up. It’s probably been awhile.

@renemaz Год назад

That would be like $2500 here in Canada....lol....another steal of a deal Joe.....keep em coming 👊✊💨

@adamtyson1728 Год назад

2 strokes are the best keep doing 2 stroke stuff love it! I just started using klotz benol and the performance of the yz 125 is incredibly better smells amazing too

@trose7620 11 месяцев назад

You get some amazing deals on these, once in a while I'll get onto fix and they don't want to pay or can't so I end up getting smoking deal. Crazy some of the stuff I've locked on to over the years, mechanics leans and such.. If I sell t hem I usually always get my money back out of em, well shop money. Gotta keep the lights on. My ebay and local swap n shop sales do well usually to. You got a good gig there, keep it up. It's amazing what used MX bikes and atvs will fetch price wise. Another great vid Joe!

thanks to you ive learned so much which has helped me make the decision of doing stuff like this. eventually I'll buy my first vehicle to work on and hopefully make a profit. thank you

@chrisboissoneault7798 Год назад

So jealous of the land lol especially now that the riding trails here in Mass are closed for the season now. Just needs a few jumps and a set track and you could have some awesome riding there. Congrats nice find I love KX'S. I have a 09 KX 250f and a 98 YZ400F wish I was close by we could tear up some dirt. I'm kind of an old man but I can still rip some shit up lol.

@kurtyoung6769 Год назад

Great buy and a great video. Sounds like the pilot circuit is rich and the needle is rich by 1.5 to 2 clips.

@DanielSmith-vp5vn Год назад

My thoughts as well

@jeffreyness9741 Год назад

Aren't you supposed to leave the throttle closed when it's on choke. You're always kicking and opening the throttle at the same time I wonder if that could affect it's starting

@23DMOTORSPORTS Год назад

This guy is a comedy of errors, the throttle chopping a 125 is the least of them

@2thehook773 Год назад

It's also funny as hell how he kicks the bikes a 1000 times then, he decides to put oil in the cylinder. This kid has NO CLUE! I find it very sad how easily people are fooled by his "halfway repairs" and think he's a genius.

@23DMOTORSPORTS Год назад

@@2thehook773 amen to that! I also noticed how he referrers to the 10th digit of the vin to get the year of manufacture, no matter the manufacturer. I know this only really works for Honda

@Antimatter. Год назад

@@drewbase I had an 88 CR500R and the only way it would cold start for 2 to 4 kicks was full choke and hold the throttle wide open while kicking , well at least 1 kick at a time 😂

@bananabrooks3836 Год назад

Up the main jet for the pipe, maybe a clip on the needle to clean up the transition from bottom end to mid range(as another commenter said) replace missing fork guards rear mudguard, add a graphics kit tyres and off to a new owner $$.

@c0munguyforcaz Год назад

I wish I had deals like this in my country 😂😂😂 great video!

@0ptimal Год назад

Nice. These videos have me fiendishly wanting to rip a 2 stroke around. But all I have currently is a riding lawn mower. Might put a fmf n re-jet so it rips

@maxkielbasa6079 Год назад

The dirtbike content is the best, can't wait for the side-by-side video😏

@sanjin3207 Год назад

The best thing is when you upload a new video

@danielrodda656 Год назад

Clearly the little amount of oil that was in there saved this engine 💯 you said it was sat for years so don't need to worry if it's been drained good find Joe keep up the videos

@bengibson3955 Год назад

You know that wasn’t engine oil, right? You know that oil didn’t come out of the crankcase either, right?

@titletownclowns1545 Год назад

There has been a lot of talk of Joe not disclosing the correct price of what he's buying, well I just scanned FB MP and found a Banshee that just needed a proper tune for $3700 obo, a Quadzilla for $3K!! Yup $3000 the plastics were black and needed small cosmetic TLC, and a '84YZ80 just needing a clean up for $500. All these were found within a few hours away central Wi. So I can attest to Joe is being honest about getting the machines at the price He is saying, because I have no reason to post BS prices. I can only think people are trying to sell their machines because of lack of funds to fix it themselves and need the money more now than a machine that might turn into a money pit. Pops

@timothycranney8788 Год назад

Bike running rich on mid range. Lean air mixture screw. Great find.

@baileymiller546 Год назад

Making me want to get an old bike to work on 😂 don't get me wrong I love my 2022 Dr650, but I've always loved the rm series bikes. Would love to get an old 125 to do some work on and have some more fun with. My Dr is a pavement princess I need her to help save $$ on fuel for my commute to work and stuff. Great video.

@SleepyBoBos Год назад

thats a great 1% check of the slide position...as you did in your other video. I'm adding it to my checklist so I can be a superstar as well!

@johnbest4320 Год назад

Awesome video Joe cracking sounding bike worth getting new tyres and doing up a bit have a great weekend Awesome deal for 500 bucks and getting the exhaust was worth it they run well the old kx 125s

@mikehudge78x Год назад

Fun video !! Nice work , I am not much of a Kawasaki fan since 2000 . I crashed my new kx 250 in 2000 and ended up in hospital for 6 weeks uggg and totaled my new bike and myself 😁 in the process !! So other than an occasional ice race on a kx500 I have not owned or raced one !! I have practiced on newer kx450f now and then but scared 😨 lol of green bikes !! Thanks again Joe for entertaining us once again !! Mouse 🐁 mouse 🐁 lol 😁

@Raptor-700R Год назад

Brings back so many memories. The bike sounds amazing

@solanaceae2069 Год назад

Sweet find. Put the same seat cover on my RM. Need to use a pneumatic stapler and practically have 3 hands, but it's doable. lol

@craigmorgan4676 Год назад

Absolute beaut Joe, as I had the 89 kx80!That was the biggest until recently I got the yz250 92 and that thing rips lf! 👍👌👊👊👊💪💪💪😬😬👍💪🔥🔥🔥

@leebenson4874 Год назад

@Joe I would like to know if you run her again? I'm seeing a few things that puzzles me. 1. Small main jet. (previous owner trying to lean her out) 2. Old plug looks like she had been burning oil. 3. Very low eng. oil level. 4. Slow to burn of the oil in the eng. This could be pointing to an oil leak between the crank case and the transmission!!! Let her sit for a few days and run her again. And check the plug.

@albundy6804 Год назад

You can hear the new pipe!!! CRISP!

What a deal on that bike. Love kawasaki. My favorite. Great video brother.

@PaulHigginbothamSr Год назад

When you first took off I thought she wouldn't fly, but I remembered the spark plug barely sparking messed up. So when it cleared out even with bald tires I knew it would fly.

Reeds, plastic and rear tire and you wont have much left for a great bike. Reeds may just need a good spray down. Good find.

Some of us have two stroke fever, sooo ya keep the old dirt scooters coming 😊

@fire_node2416 Год назад

remember the old green handle bars you would use as a breaker bar? i just randomly remembered that thing XD

@titletownclowns1545 Год назад

That should be framed and mounted on the wall, it was a staple tool back in the day for breaking screws loose. It worked so can't hate on that. 😉 Pops

@marjanboo4196 Год назад

when u take carb off take the bottom subframe bolts out an pull tht bit up an out of way an when riding the old 125 wont hit pb till you runnher through the gears abit at half throttle dunno why thts wat mine does

@levizehr238 Год назад

You can use aluminum brightener on the brake rotors and it makes them look way cleaner and they work a lot! Better

@riccochet704 Год назад

Nothing like a 2 stroke. Especially a 125 that you can flat out rip. Love riding a slow bike fast.

@jakeresnick2669 Год назад

Buy a new rear fender and some new fork guards and fix the seat foam chunk that is missing with spray foam super simple and cheap should of did that when fixing the seat cover.

@perustc9158 Год назад

In my 60 years of riding and working on motorcycles there were only 2 motorcycles that scared me on a first cold ride. A 1988 KX500 we had to pull with a quad to 3rd gear it. That bike had my eyebrows wiggling. And an old Maico 501 4 speed 'crosser. 70 mile an hour 4th gear wheelies just blipping the throttle! Honorable mention- Kawasaki 1300 (not the bagger) and second gear tire lock against a brick wall at the shop I was working at back in the day. My retina's have never recovered! By the way... have you ever had a customer use a nail for a jet needle?
