That bikes worth about £2,500 here in England, well done man, may be worth moving the needle clip up a notch to drop the needle to get rid of the low down rich stutter,👍

It’s hysterical all the advice people give. I love the videos and the comments.

That is crazy for 100 bucks you cant even buy a pitbike for that!

Next time you de-carbon the pipe, use a piece of old chain. Put it down in the expansion chamber and give it a good shake. That will do the the trick!

Don't forget to Rev it to the moon while it's cold! !!! LMAO

bottom and mid range are too rich. Drop your needle one position and verify the air screw, 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 turns out from full close. There are several good videos on those adjustments on knowing if you have the right setting. upper end sounds good. Also, just because you are not leaking fluid, it does not mean your float is the correct height. Again, good videos on how to do this correctly. Hint, do not just turn the carb upside down and see if they are level, you have to verify the position at which the float needle stops moving. Good luck.

Crank bearings are dead, running to rich but anyways for 100$ great bike bro.

Her : Would you rail me for a PS5? Me : 2:29

@17:40 " Id say she's running pretty good " !!! Ah .... No !! There's way more in that bike . You can hear it falling on its face in the lower rpm range . Haul that carb off and start over . If you have access to a pail of carb cleaner , let it sit in that over night , then be sure to blow out all passages and orifices with compressed air . Verify the jet sizes are correct for the bike . Set the carb to factory specs for float height / Drop , needle position etc .

I love to scroll through the comments and see all of the RU-vid mechanics try to tell you what's wrong with it

Why does it seem like every 2 stroke u get Boggs

I know you resale the bikes and stuff.. but why dont you acknowledge the problems as there happening like the thing was breaking up extremely bad almost every gear but you never say anything but it's fun or this is fast I mean ppl can tell if something's wrong I would acknowledge it makes you sound better anyway

17:11 hahahaha niice!

Rear fender brace/hoop is bent up. Fender is pointing up in the air on the end, should sit level with the bike across the top of the fender. common on these from loop outs. take the fender off and bend the loop back down so the fender sits correctly.

Still driving it like a 4 stroke

I mentioned that the lighting coils on these bikes go bad and will over-volt causing bulbs to burn out almost instantly. Check the voltage coming to the lights and you'll probably find over voltage. Lighting coil is attached to stator plate and is easily removed. Just a couple screws. They are pricey but are necessary.

Love the IT... incredibly fast! My brother had a '78 IT175 that I got to ride on occasion. Quickly handled anything you threw at it. Great bike.

I had one of these! Brings back memories... I used to run 3 1/2 to one mix and one step hotter plug and she had great power for an old 200

I had a. It 175 and it 200 both of them were stump puller 1st gear bikes i always started in 2nd.. I bet those crank seals sre gone

Get the engine out and rebuild it. You got it for pennies. Like one lad said on here that's worth about £2500 over here in england. You can here the crank bearings on it. Its deserves a rebuild mate.

Damn that bike has more carbon than a worn out diesel! She's not 100% crisp yet seems a little fat on the low end did you go too heavy on the oil when treating the air filter? Sounds like clutch is beginning to slip in higher gears so you may want to go over adjustments. Nice bike I want it!

The crank seals probably went out and just sucking in the motor oil which is why it’s running rich maybe idk🤷🏿‍♂️

Nice job for not coasting, noticed you was pulling in the clutch when letting off at high speed, good man 👍🏻.. As others have said, far too rich low and mid range. All the best from the uk 🇬🇧

Classic IT. Great enduro bike.. just please buy a new carburetor and you will save your time... love the original plastic and graphics... keep your bike looking stock and let it become a classic. Great message here thanks for sharing this. Robert jr nj here Christ supportive xr650l owner

Can’t believe u only payed $100

Woohoo! Military version, complete with built in flame thrower!

Bike sounds like it has an improper jet size in it.

You need to repack the exhaust and do a plug chop! I didn't see the first video... but I'm hoping you looked at the reed valve and pedals also

You’ve done a good job mate, and I can’t believe how cheap it was either 👍🏻

Man you do a really thorough job going over every possible issue !

And don't forget to rev it to the Moon!!!!! Lol

Theres never great bargains like this bike over here in the UK. I used to love riding this kind of bike, I'm a sucker for old two strokes from the 80s.

I think there's a lot of baffles to quiet down the IT a bit and they bung up more than YZ's ,what a gem that bike is.

Oh yeah that thing sounds great!!!!! LMAO

Love Yamaha I have a DT175 . You should so keep that bike it’s a ripper 👍🏽

The fire is pretty good content lol

You can fill muffler with brake cleaner too. Will get that carbon out.

I had a 70s twin shock drum braked IT 465 in my early 20s, scared the crap out of me every time

Leave those brake and clutch lever mounts a bit loose so they won't break the leavers when you drop your bike.

Don’t use your elbows to wheelie. Stand up Compress the front forks and when the bikes comes up barley give it gas and you will *hit 12 o’clock 🤙 I ride a rm400 so y’all might need more gas. Have fun and remember the back brake !!!!!

Own 2 86 IT200s and race the EVO A in harescrambles, some good tips , keep it! As well put in TDR reeds , mikuni flatslide , mill the head , as well if riding in sugar sand stock these bikes suck in sand, if you make a yz490 front wheel fit, or make 1984-85 IT200 rum fit they have a smaller lipped rim letting the front tire spread rider which helps considerably , do not ever change the foot pegs as it’s meant specifically to hit the kicker at a certain spot you can risk snapping the shaft if bolting on larger pegs

In church can’t watch! RIP

That's just carbon burning off from inside the pipe. Check the jetting to make sure it's not running too lean now, I'd say it's been run rich and not run at full throttle for a very long time. We used to burn out carbon deposits from the exhaust system.

Used to have to bypass the self mixer on those bikes though they were badass back in the day

That’s a nice bike ! Probably need to repack silencer

Hint from a old 2 stroke guy for knocking the carbon out of your expansion chamber. Go to the hardware store and get a long screen door spring and shove it in their and twist it around. Can ever hook it up to a slow elect drill if you want. Be surprised at how much crap comes out Bob M.

Please let me know where you can buy a 2 stroke dirt bike for $100.

Hi from the UK Just found your channel Great video Not sure if you buy these bikes just to sell on, but how about a long term project on a bike that you will keep until your old and grey Lots of short video's on the purchase, strip, and rebuild Keep doing what you do as you do it well

The tank was totally gunked up, but no need for a fuel filter am I right?

How I clean steel 2 stroke exhausts: 1: Fill exhaust pipe with small rocks, plug ends, shake vigorously in all directions. Remove plugs and dump out exhaust. This gets the bulk. 2: Then I thoroughly soak the inside of the pipe with kerosene or diesel. I do not need to fill it up, just soak it throughly and let it sit for a bit. 3: I get a basic hand held torch (propane, map gas, etc) and blast the inlet of the exhaust until it starts to burn slightly. 4: I lightly introduce compressed air, but not so much that it blows out the torch. This will really get the leftover carbon burning. 5: Once the inside of the pipe is burning, I turn off the torch and turn up the compressed air. The burn will self-sustain like a jet engine until ALL carbon is gone. This works like a charm. Look it up. However, this will shoot burning carbon everywhere though....so I make sure it is done outdoors, away from anything flammable, with the outlet of the exhaust pointing away from me and not toward anyone or anything that could be hurt or damaged from it. And I do NOT immediately spray it with anything like water to cool it because it could shock-crack. I just let it cool on its own. If the pipe starts glowing red-hot, I stop so it doesn’t melt (shouldn’t though)...let it cool, and start the process again. I then repeat until nothing burning comes out (no carbon left to burn). This is what I do, but obviously has risks. So if someone else decides to try this, do it at your own risk. But doing it the way it was done in this video, with scraping and banging....will take days. And you’ll never get it all. My way is the only way to truly get everything.

"shes running good" as its bogging like fuck lmao

dang it might not be the most powerfull or fastest dirtbike but for just $100 and some work that thing is a ripper and i would pay that just for something to do cuz my barrings on my bike exploded and bikes and engines are fun to work on in my opinion!

why didn't u use that heat leaf blower thing to clean the pipe, like you did with the quad I think? Did ya forget or does it not apply here?

1980s bikes are modern in all respects. 90s bikes are refined 80s bikes, 2000 up are refined 80s and 90s bikes. All the same, just different doo dads.

Do not love those comments that say loved it or wanna be friends they are bots

U gotta tilt those bars up

Great deal for $100.. Doesnt sound quiet right.. sounds like its sputtering at 1/2 - 3/4 throttle. Check packing in silencer.

Dude should save up and get an air compressor! Looks like they guy before you ran this thing super rich! Victor is right, low end rich and mid. LOVE these old ITs!!!!!

I love this one here,, it’s a lady from the eighties

Nice bike

You should do a full build video btw I love your vids i have a 1996 Suzuki rm 85 board out to a 100 but it’s leaking coolant into oil and I don’t know what to do I’m obviously not as talented as you

Sick bike

Wdym it runs great... Its bogging so bad down low and mid. Check the jets, adjust the needle etc. Fix it right plz!

Some of the old yamaha bikes had packing in the expansion chamber my buddy 87 dt200 has it

I understand trying to restore bikes but at that point a set of reeds and carb rebuild would wake it up for maybe another $100

You can clean out that expansion pipe easier by putting in a couple of handfuls of gravel and shaking it for a minute or two.

Been hear for 2 years 💪🏽

You checked the bulbs ??

I need this bike tho the faster you go how good it sounds

That sounds lumpy as hell especially low down in the range. Running too rich by the sounds of it

Nice enduro bike! Those older bikes are solid. 👍

Sounds exactly like my kdx down low, which is running extremely rich

Sounds like it is running rich on top end. Use a smaller main jet

$100, that's insane brotha, deal of the century. I would of told the seller that's too low. I'll give ya $200 😂 😂

The very FIRST thing you do with a bike thats been sat for a long time is remove the plug spray some wd40 down there and let that sit over night. As it will eat rust and crap around the piston and rings. And less chance of failure. Probably only one of its issues being used and then sat for a long time things can get real dirty. after you let it sit over night put it in gear and gently rock it so it loosens up gently before you kick it over.

How much for it once you've finished with it , Love to ship it to the uk

Love this bike

rule number 1 when checking lights , check to see if the bulbs are burnt out, 2 conductivity in the wires

Great buy

LOL! that's hilarious kid. You bought a mobile chimney fire. Btw these old tanks smoke like hell it's just their nature that and oil leaks are expected.

Do you have any yamaha it250 and it490 1983_1984 if junkers come across too. Love old bikes. I fix them up

Might be better if you can get more wide angle on Go-Pro, it would make movements less pronounced.

I’d love to win that bike. I need a good one

Those bikes are hella rare in canada

Just watching how you tightened that clutch perch it’s to tight you should have it so when you smack it hard with your hand it moves that way if you crash it the clutch perch will spin on the bar and not snap off then you just have to smack it back in place and keep riding

This bike is sick might have to buy one for my channel only got a crf450

It has yet to clear out,till you hit that hiway

Yahmaha was not as good as Honda in the eighties but they are definitely top 4 of the brands back in the eighties. I believe

I had the 465 i loved it

Whats tha noise it sounds like a tiny bell is going off everytime you excelarate

Id lower needleor open air screw

Check the reeds ,put in fiber reeds …😉👍

sounds rough for an IT with a dg silencer on , should be a lot crisper than that. have you checked the inlet rubber is not cracked? sounds really boggy low and mid range no powerband. check those crank seals , you have a compression tester so why not use it

Please answer this question. Have you ever ridden a pe175 Suzuki? Thanks

Why is that stuff coming out that pipe thing? I never had problems with it doing that before

it runs pretty good brother but it does need work. I would still do a top end on it. but it runs good for the age.

About to watch it

Typical of every Yamaha IT I've ever seen

what a deal!
