Dude the look on his face after riding his bike for the first time was absolutely priceless. Thanks Joe for being so nice and doing that for him at no cost.

@@thebigguy8306 haha, I’m not shitting on him, it just drives me nuts, my dad was a motorcycle mechanic, plane, diesel, and he’s got OCD, so he’s just instilled in me not to throw parts at stuff like that. Joe does a good job, and makes great content. I’m not sitting here saying I’m a better wrench. To pump out the videos at the rate he does , there’s a chance it’s not worth the time properly diagnosing and better to make another video installing new parts. Nobody wants to what you sift through a wire loom for a loom and use a multimeter. Which in that case, genius. 🤣

@rsyferd Год назад

After watching several of your videos involving hard to start bikes, I've come to the conclusion that your right leg must now be significantly stronger than your left. I'm surprised you didn't walk in circles. Awesome videos!

Yes. This guy certainly kicks a bike over hard. Could have done with him before trying to get my 490 started. Standing almost upright and slamming down like that for 5 mins certainly wears you out. Feels great though.

Well done Sherlock, RU-vid should give you an award for perseverance!!!! It does not surprise me about the kick shaft, think of the stress you put through it in trying to get it to kick. Also geez knows what it had been put through before you got it. I would have been real pissed after the re build, so a well deserved beer mate.

Your videos are pleasantly addictive. I enjoy the methodical way you take us through the troubleshooting process step by step. I keep trying to figure out what your next step will be and if I can guess what the solution is before you get there. For some reason I can't wait for my bike to break down now :)

For a min I didn't think that bike was gonna start. Sounds way better then the kick starter broke and my jaw dropped, oh man what a bummer. Hope the guy with the 250 has a great time with it, that was awesome to help him out he looks very happy.

@dustcommander100 Год назад

That was an amazing repair on the YZ! I was wondering if the magnets on these things get weak, because they do on the magnetos of antique tractors and engines. The type on antique engines can actually be recharged with a powerful electromagnet. Anyway, it was an interesting diagnosis, and the work you did in the other fellow's bike was a very nice gesture!

Wicked good job joe!! I’ve got an 01 cr125R that I bought with the motor out because someone broke a case half trying to split it with a flathead screwdriver lol. I’ve bought all the replacement parts but I have a hard time assembling stuff that I didn’t disassemble myself. I’d be more that happy to send you my motor and pay u to make a video of putting it back together. It’d need a new piston, and most likely cylinder, which is gladly order for you too. I believe the crank is good, absolutely no up and down play. It’d be awesome to have ur help but I’d understand if I didn’t want to. Either way, love watching u grow!!

Just changed the rotor on my 2011 fz1. Yamaha had a problem with magnets falling off on early r1 genesis engines. Same engine used in 06-16 fz1. I love your videos. I've learned a lot in just 2 days. Owe crap, just got to the end where the shaft snapped. Total bummer after the great fix.

@michaelanderson3771 Год назад

Kudos to you Really nice of you to fix that kids bike for free. Love it when people pay it forward. Your video are extremely helpful and I have learned heaps from your journey. I would never have guessed the magnets on the flywheel were the issue. I will certainly look for that one in future if all the std electrical stuff checks out. One tip. use contact cleaner on all the connectors and a dab of Di-electrical grease particularly on the stator plugs and the plugs on the front down tube as those are always getting covered in Mud and get wet when riding in wet conditions.

@gtisid Год назад

Thats really good of you. had an aprilia flywheel with broken magnets. think its a consequence of bad bottom end bearings and the crank not running true and eventually things on stator start getting clattered. had me puzzled for weeks where i also learnt about the broken magnets becoming two separate magnets that also halves the amount of energy they generate apparently.....should of studied harder a physics but good to know for the future

Good deal, I know how he felt riding his bike for the first time. Back when I was a kid, my dad brought home a 1977 Yamaha yz400 with the top end and many parts in a box. I spent six months buying parts and putting the bike together. I rode it for four years until I was 18 and could get a job and save up for a 1982 Honda cr250r.

@raycastro7156 Год назад

@palcolandcattle4259 Год назад

those older four strokes have a special starting procedure. Im sure you can find it on a forum somewhere. Its something like give the throttle a couple pumps and then put your hand on the handlebar away from the throttle so you arent inclined to twist it and then get the piston just past top dead center and kick. This may help getting it started easier. Im not sure if that is the exact sequence but I'm sure you can find someone that knows more about it. My 04 crf250r worked best with that one.

@jmendo2546 Год назад

It's funny I was thinking last video your issue on this bike was Stator "Rust" or bad keyway or cdi. Glad you figured it out, but now you have alot of $$ into bike. Your progressivly learning though, except for buying one of a kind snowmobile or atvs they are hard to re-sell and brake even. I'm still waiting for you to get a Honda 350x or liquid 250r 3 wheeler or buy someone's hoard of atvs and rebuild, instead of waiting for one to pop up u should post an add "I'm looking for non running atc or atv's" on your local craigslist or market place

@matthewstuckey665 Год назад

Awesome work brotha. Can’t believe the kick start snapped. Your leg is made of steel haha. Looking forward the then next video. Side note. My bike cost me 8100 bucks. So I think 10k ain’t bad considering all the after market parts he has.

@michaelanderson3771 Год назад

Oh - Happy Easter dude May you continue to put out great content and I hope you get to 100K subs Your content is so helpful and you deserve to see the YT rewards . Onwards and Upwards . Glad I stumbled onto your chanel and have helped share your channel with many of my friends and also those on Thumper Talk. I fully believe that when you find someone that is really worth noting then shout out to them. Loving your stuff and tuning in from Australia. If only the bike were so cheap here, - in Aus you would not find a 2003 YZ250 for under 3500 and that was if you could find one. Second hand bikes here in Aus are crazy prices. I recently sold my 1989 XR600 RK for aud$60000, (USD$4500) I paid AUD$3200 for it back in 1992. and had some 30 years trouble free riding from the old girl. Now regretting I sold her.

@johnsarian_cu Год назад

Normally grinding on rotating plates and shapes is needed for balancing. Weird to see it done on the stator plate. I've never noticed it before either. Was it done for clearancing I wonder? You'd think they'd be mostly identical if so.

@bigcaputo09 Год назад

Before doing an ohm test you need to check the resistance of you're test leads and subtract it from you're reading of the component you're testing! I'm watching, rooting for you!! I'm at around 7 and1/2 mins in on the video

@billhenry7833 3 месяца назад

Not for the readings he is getting. If he was trying to find 4 or 5 ohms, than yes, his leads would be making a significant contribution.

A cheap one and it ran good for a year them the carb floods now because the float seat isnt working so i cleaned the stock one and put it back in and it runs but idle high. Ive tried to adjust the air fuel screw and its all the way in and still does the same thing idle high and it has same stock jets in carb. Idk what else to do but buy a cheap carb every year lol..

@videostellall Год назад

I worked on a 2001 YZ-250F and it would bump start every time, but never kick start. I researched and the fix was to split the carb where it is put together at the factory. Yamaha does not sell the o-rings, but you can get them from All Balls. Swapped them out and it firs right up
