This $1500 Dirt Bike Is a Disaster. How Does This Even Happen? 

Lol...hopefully the kid learned something. Video tape your amateur work so you can put it back together again.

Onya mate.

same with me, ive rebuilt my friends 450 and 110 just from watching these videos

🤣

This guy twists the throttle on cold starts so don't take him too seriously.

@FULLMETALJACKET7 ohh no he rev a dirt bike after starting it lol shut up😂

@@lindapodkowa3354 Apparently, just like him, you have no idea how the choke circuit works on a dirt bike carb. It has nothing to do with revving the engine.

i mean if you rebuild a engine atleast know wtf u doing... or just dont touch...

​@Quad Video By Reggiexp gotta learn somewhere. Best way is trial and error sometimes

I'd have checked the air filter before buying. If it's missing. I'd walk away. No telling if it had been ran like that.

​@@reggiexp69yes, if you know how use the math ...

He didn’t say it needed shimming he said that it wouldn’t start after his rebuild.

You should check out the channel called mustie1 he fixes up all kinds of stuff and it's easy to follow

No one cares

@@robhayter484 someone jealous LMFAO... What a cry baby you are

@@robhayter484 unnecessary dude

I love my 91 rm80 and I'm 6 foot 2 great little bike

@@robhayter484 got the whole squad laughing 😐😐

Like the guy can replace a piston but can't shim valves?? WTF!!! I would have left then and there, no matter how much I wanted the bike.

Yes leave that throttle alone!

Always thought the same.

I think that's half the hard starting issues are throttle related.

Yep! Ordered them today

@@2vintage did i win??

when doing a fix like he does, you start with the most obvious things like getting fuel, spark and compression first. then you use those points to branch off. when fixing to resell, every hour into the bike eats away at profit. so maybe it just needed a spark plug and started right up and ran . you would be wasting all that time tearing down the carb for nothing . like they say , if it aint broke dont fix it lol. so no point in doing the carb until you know it needs it .

@@thewizardoftech5075 Always assume the carb is fucked

Yea my boss gave me a Blaster that was sitting for years and the first thing I did is tear the carb down to every piece and clean it lol.

Guy who i bought the parts from isn't shipping them out. I'm having difficulty getting him to ship them. As soon as he does I'm making the video.

🤣

Ha...I was wondering the same thing....

If u have a non running or poor running 90s artic cat sled the 1st place I would look is the throttle position sensor...

@@nathanpeever6701 Not that good in mechanic but what could change it, i know it has no spark

@tommy gangéé pm me on messenger and I will try my best to help you

@@nathanpeever6701 alright ill try to find you

@@nathanpeever6701 whats ur pfp

thats a weird situation. if he was able to ride it and jump it. then it should have been in time. and if it somehow jumped time. then it should have just been top end work. and mechanics at dealerships rob you. over 5000 to rebuild an old rmz is insane. you can get complete bottom ends crank and all for 700 bucks or less with a little searching used . you could have bought yourself next to a brand new bike for 5500 . i would have sold the bike off for what you paid or a little less. and spent the quoted 5500 on something else. because with you 6500 into it after the rebuild it would have still been worth less then half of that . sorry that happened to you. if that situation happens again. and you have to go to a dealership. pay the fees to give it a once over, and get a quote. dont let them just get it working and bill you at the end . because there is no way to prove what they did in the engine, especially since they used , used parts .

Yeah sorry I was telling the story in pieces the way he told me. He obviously didn’t start from the beginning to the end. My guess was he rode the bike the engine blew hitting a jump or after then he tried to rebuild the top end. But still doesn’t make sense cause he did try to rebuild the top end cause the timing was off. But yet the whole engine still had to be rebuilt. So how did the piston,valves and everything els get damaged? Cause if you rebuilt the top end you obviously do the piston and valves if needed.Plus the bikes not going to start with the timing off or rest of the engine damaged. Some how till this day it doesn’t make sense to me what really happened.

Throwing Valves!!! So they were a Good Bike until the Engine Explodes😆 👍

@purebloodheretic4682 yeah you pretty much had to adjust the valves after every other ride, and I'm not even fast. 😂 those early carb 4-strokes kinda sucked ngl.

whatever you do, dont go for an xr lol. I got an 87 xr250 to fix up and its probably one of the most complicated motors ive seen

Learnt lots from Joe's videos

@@leekarpinski4038 Joe who?

I just take the subframe and rear shock off...makes it so much easier.

Hell yeah man! I just redid my 87 Warrior, looking at a 87 LT230S tomorrow for another project 😂

Same! Varying revs after a slow gentle warm up yes, constantly blipping the throttle is effectively momentarily throwing full load on all bearings and rings when it hasn't even had time to circulate oil to half those parts. I'm old school, run em in light throttle and low revs varying and gradually taking the revs a little higher at a time, NEVER labor the engine but, no big revs or big throttle, even just blipping.

Love your videos so much. You got me out here buying a motorcycle trailer and a dirtbike and re-fixing stuff up. I don’t have nearly as much revenue as you. I can see, but I’m trying. 😂

No you're not..sort by newest 🤣

Thanks 👍

@@2vintage no worries mate keep up the good work

I remember the partnerships they had with various companies. I like suzuki myself, the suzuki engines were used in MANY different vehicles like the kfx400 atv and also used suzuki engines in some arctic cat atvs. Some of the dune / sand buggies you see around california and such with the motorcycle engines also use a suzuki engine.

I'm about to go race My 04 rmz this year lol

Was it from 04-06? I thought it was just 04 cause the bike actually turned out to be a bad design between the 2. They were known for overheating sitting at idle so you had to put a aftermarket pro circuit or Boysen water pump cover on to fix the issue. You couldn’t change the oil on a factory cover water pump cause you had to drain out all the coolant to change the oil filter. Pro riders complained suspension was to soft while beginner riders said it was to stiff. Pro riders complained it didn’t turn as good as a Suzuki since Kawasaki did the frame and Suzuki did the Engine. The bottom of the Engine was designed deeper cause of Suzukis design so when you put the right amount of oil in it would still sit low on the site glass so people would think it’s low and end up putting way to much oil in. After that Suzuki and Kawasaki realized it was a bad designed bike cause they rushed it to get there first 4 stroke in 04 to compete with Yamaha like everyone else. The frame was still a steel frame while everyone else was aluminum. They did it backwards Kawasaki designed the frame and Suzuki the engine. Suzuki’s known for light handling sharp turning frames so Suzuki should of did the frame and Kawasaki the engine.Then they might have had a longer partnership.😂 I do have an 04 RMZ 250 though and it is a pretty interesting piece of history on the bike though. Hopefully one day it will be one of those bikes that goes up in value cause of the interesting history Kawasaki and Suzuki had with the bike.

@@travisr896 04-06 rmz are identical to the 04-05 kx250f. kawi went solo in 06. Suzuki changed in 07. I have both bikes

700$ there like 2 grand up where I live in California

What do you call it?

@text-4027 what is it?
