This Bike Is A Mess Ep74 

As an Aircraft Mechanic and motorcycle guy myself, I am really enjoying your videos. You are very knowledgeable. Keep going, my friend. A lot of people really use these video's to help them.

Love the fact you would rather save the bike where most people would part it out or sell it cheap. Good to see keep up the good work mate.

Dude your hard work and effort are greatly appreciated. Thank you for making these videos

Very impressed with your production. I understand the effort that it takes to provide content. I've always been a 2 stroke vintage guy but have recently ventured into the 4 strike world. Have two YZ250F in the shop at the moment. Your timing couldn't have been better. Thank you for your effort. Ken

Nayse work I'm love 450 yz 2005

Cool vids Love bringing the dead back to life. Curious what u spent on that bike,hope it wasn't much lol..

Would like to see you get some 80s-90s XRs/CRs into the mix. Know with that kind of attention to detail and determination, you’d have no issue resurrecting them either

Man I'm pretty good with yz's and yzf's....I have a few. But damn dude.....your on another level...lol. So glad I stumbled across your channel. I sub'd after about 2 minutes.😊

Big fan!! I love your content. I'm new to the dirtbikes community and I want to learn how they work. I just bought a 1991 xr200r and it runs pretty good. I love working on it and making it new again. I would love to see a honda xr200 or 400 rebuild by you. Thanks man! Keep up the good work 🤜🤛

That is a rough bike. Looking forward to seeing this progress. I tend to stay away from them because of the potential cost associated. Are you going to do more project like this?

Hi another great video, i got one queation for you. I got kx450f 2007 when the bike is hot slight ticking cane around head area i check valve spec everything is in spec bike starts firs kick hot ot cold, got a lot of power but when bike is cold ticking is gone only ticking when bike is in working temp.

One positive about this particular bike is that you have a black tank on it. Most people want to run black plastics on these bikes but still have the stock blue tank on it. Now, as for seeing any indication iof your fuel level in that black tank...you're outta luck.

That may be an aftermarket knock off carb. I didn’t see any FCR or Keihin marks on it, but may just have missed them.

Fantastic save. Nice to see them saved and maybe sold to someone who might not be able to get into the sport with a new bike but a solid used safe bike to start with. 125s and 250s are always in high demand.

You forgot the shock bumper.... Nice work on the head though.

Dang you deff put in some work In this one! I’ve been uploading similar videos, no full engine rebuilds yet Just top ends and lots a of little odds and ends

Great work. Thank you for making quality content

Also ticks me off when they have any kind of bolt nut cobbled up crap on em

Love the videos man! I know it’s a lot of work 🤟🏼

"it's going to be hard to work with one arm" 😂😂 that's to slick

My 2002 yz250f has a really bad sputtering problem at 1/4-3/4 throttle. I went through the carburetor and cleaned. It starts and idles perfectly and still has a ton of power do you know what could cause this problem?

Wow maybe you saved the head.valve seats good send it

yellow plastics

I have a 2012 TTR 125 L and someone wants to trade me for a 2002 YZ250F do you think that's a good trade ?

What size Jets do you use in them? I'm having problems with jetting hard starting

Another Legendary act i salute u sir

have this same bike that i brought back to life

Can’t believe I even owned this thing lol

Thanks for making these detailed videos on how to do it the right way, appreciate it! 💯

Great video, just talk a bit thru the steps or maybe add voice over later to just some points ... Otherwise I'll be watching over and over.

OK come on. What did you use to lay out the case half gasket maker? I have always done it by hand but that looked way better

Good video. Cool how you were able to save the head.

keep it up can't wait to see more.

I agree on bringing a dead bike back to life. I bought 3 bikes that guys told me were “They had the top ends rebuilt but all they needed was something small” Long story short both bikes needed complete rebuilds, motor,shock,forks and all. Cost me $5600 to have a shop do the first one and $5300 for the second one.That was a a complete rebuild on the motor that was already pulled out and top end ripped down by me. Only reason why I didn’t do it myself cause i was going to replace the top end till I seen it needed a crank. So didn’t have a case splitter plus in a hurry got the shop to rebuild it. Probably cost me $7000 to do that one from what I paid for the bike. People tell me “$7000 to rebuild an old bike? For $4000 more you could of just bought a new one” I always tell them “True but that’s still $4000 more I would have spent and it’s a different feeling when you bring a dead bike back to life than it is when you just go buy a new one.Plus I have an older bike that’s rebuilt back to new that will last me another 5 years or more depending on my riding.

As a tech I always feel bad for bikes when they get to this condition. You can just tell when a bike has been neglected and not fixed correctly over the years. Missing bolts...incorrect bolts....band-aid fixes....oil leaks. When I get bikes like this in my shop most customers never even want to fix them because the estimate to get it running is as long as the estimate to get it road/dirt worthy. I have a CBR600RR in my shop now that simply needs a fuel pump to get started....but also needs like $2k in parts and labor for non engine related issues (tires, fork seals, brake pads, chain and sprocket also oil pan is bad)

Another great video!!!

I'm guessing piston hitting the valves.

Got excited there before I clicked on the video seen yellow thought it was an RMZ another great video 👍🏻

Heads junk bikes old part it out

I have yz125 2003 had no 2 gear i had my mechanic fix it under cut gears i put so much into bike i all most replace everything i show the guy i bought it from he was a mazed

Great video!

Hi I'm new to your channel my 13 year old son wants a dirt bike can you tell me if a Honda 125 big wheel would be a good starter bike for him
