I get the Yamaha gt80 running and take it out for a top speed test. Thanks for watching and subscribing! New videos every other day! Instagram: 2_vintage_ Snap: the2vintage
When I turned 10 this exact bike was my first! 5 up neutral all the way down! I remember the fork seals were blown so the forks would clank every bump! It was a good bike for a little kid because of the Yamalube. Just pour the gas in and go! No premix for a kid to mess up! Loved the head light. I used to ride the fields across the street until 9-10 every night during summer. My cousin and me fabricated a little ski out of a plastic sled for the winter. Actually worked! Have a lot of memories on that little bike!!
My dad bought me a brand spanking new one in 1981 for my tenth birthday ...I had to pull off all A 's and B's on my report card for an entire year and he gave me one muligen.( I got a c in health?) But it soon had no turn signals and a knobby rear tire lol...ran the hell out of it for maybe 4 years ...sold it for 150bucks ..it was 779 new ... I would Love to find one like that just for old times sake
I know a lot of starters on like Harley’s kick out and connect with the rear primary gear where the clutch is and starts spinning the motor over and I’ve had some where they won’t connect all the way because the starter is shot and will just spin making a grinding noise. It might also be one of those gears is slipping. I don’t know if that’s the way the Suzuki is but it’s worth looking at the starter area by exposing the clutch.
I had one when I was a kid (before I had my drivers license) and I rode with all my friends that had CR80's and KX80s and there was no comparison. Those bikes were land missiles and in hindsight, I was probably just along for the laughs. I managed to get my hands on a RM250 later on and you really had to pay attention to what you were doing if you had any intention of putting the front wheel back on the ground.
That’s a cool little bike... my dad bought me a bran new yellow one on June 8th 1973 and brother got killed on it on June 10th 1973.... that was the worst day of my life.... thanks for the video buddy...
When the pins and the surface of the links they rub against wear, the chain effectively lengthens and that's what causes the sprocket's teeth to "bend". It happens to both sprockets, so the chain and both sprockets must be replaced together. If they aren't all replaced, the one that hasn't been changed will cause the others to fail prematurely.
what did you put in it that made it smell so good? lol i have one of these but all the lights and electrical are stripped from it. trying to find a carb rebuild kit for these are like finding a needle in a hay stack. any chance you might know where I can find a throttle valve? They're discontinued as far as I know.
Is there a big diffrence between the gt80 and dt80. I have read a forum where it says it has the same basic engine only the plastics disigne is diffrent. So is that true or false?
On the turbo bike try putting it in gear and turning the flywheel a bit and it may disengage the bendix if it’s stuck. Just rock the bike in gear with the clutch out and maybe that will help otherwise you may have to pull the starter
ha! reminds me of the MX80 I had, bought it used in the early 1990's, someone replaced the exhaust with an aftermarket street pipe(used as a pit bike I think), it was very clean and I ran the snot out of it, no speedometer but topped out at like 43mph, clocked on road, beside a car and sheriff once 🤣 they made me push it all the way home, while following behind me, it was about a mile and up a huge hill and few rollers, that really sucked, but that was the only punishment I got. 🙃
I had 2 of these in the early 90d. It was my first step up from a mini bike with no gears to something with gears and a clutch. I rebuilt both of them but my first one was way faster than the other one . IDK But seemed like my first one would easily hit mid 50s mph but I had no speedometer
I had one in 1977 at 14 years old and could hit 51' mph.. then again I was only about 125lbs back at that era! Paid $200 dollars or about $900 in today's dollars
theres a forum on a site called "yamaha-enduros" lots of great guys there who can help with these old bikes, sometimes site members will have parts to sell but most often they will just help you find a good place to buy. Always check ebay!! I just got a new gas tank off there
Hi, I have this same bike that someone gave to me. I trying to repair it because the bike is a mess. It doesn’t have the tachometer nor has the device to put your key in. They cut many cables, and it’s hard to figure where all the electrical connections were supposed to go. So I want to ask you if you have a manual of this bike. Thanks
with the xn 85 try bump start it if it does not work replace the battery connection becasue the wires might be old and not giving it the voltage it needs to start.
Btw do you think you have enough RD's? I think that's why there aren't any in Cali because you have them all! Just kidding. How much are you selling the older RD for?
that was the very first thing everyone disabled and got rid of, the(blow up your bike, oiler system) yeah, it happened all too often, on every brand that had them. still happens to this day on 2-strokes with oiler systems(boats, jet ski's etc.) warning lights fail, people forget to check, something clogs, hose breaks, etc. mixed gas and oil is always the right amount, unless the carb jetting is way off or someone sugars/alcohols your pre-mixed fuel (yeah, I'm still remembering you old neighbor) they cost me and a friend three bike engines, but I'm still here and they're long gone from the area. 🤨
i had a 2000 yz80 that went around 75, raced my cousin on his quad and he was going 70 and i passed right by, i was like o sht, didnt think itd go that fast lol
