Looks like a fun trail! Not to hard but has some grit ! You or the bike one is making it look easy! Lol. God Bless

Thank you buddy and happy new year 2025 !!

Once the seat foam and seat cover gets worked on the bike is getting to where you and your friend wants to see it through ..!

That gunk certainly interferes with a good spark until it is cleared up..!

The chain will be grateful to have it cleaned up with kerosene and a brush and of course when dry to give it fresh lube

Two new tires without a doubt is needed on the bike

Add 4 ounces of Marvel mystery oil minus 4 ounces of oil to compensate for the MMO.. Thank you buddy..

Always an outstanding presentation and shop on hands mechanical outcome to get things moving forward regardless of challenges cause you find the resolution..

Had a 83 when I was a kid 😊it was Awesome

PUT ON A MIKUNI CARBURETOR WORKS

Good shit man thats a massive hill

Beta makes anything possible!

Ive never seen a honda dirt bike with the speedometer still on lol

Yeah,I like your videos,they said the last ts 185 Suzuki's would do 86 mph,I don't know.

Larry McGinley I had a 1975 Honda xl 250 a cousin of mine went 80 up the road once!😂

Well done!

👍

My older brother bought one off of a family friend for 50$ and a hand shake it runs but need repairs

It's a trail bike, not an Enduro. Honda really messed up with the MT series and they were sadly lacking in power. The handling was pretty good considering the flexy swing arm and 4" travel. They were long bikes, not tall. If you want to spend the time, put a CR top end and carbie on it. Toss the oil tank and pump as the CR barrel doesn't have an oil injection port. So, fill it with premix and find out. That simple mod will give you about 8 more horsepower. Well worth it and many MT owners did that back in the day. You don't need to change the head. Makes no difference.

Before two years i have 125 dtmx.

Do a sparkplug read to help dial in that jetting. Congrats on the restoration

I had a '84 DS 80 when I was a kid. Man I miss that bike 😢

Dude I am 67 yrs old been riding since I was 13 ,moto x street ,woods . You are better than you give yourself credit,Great video 👍

Beautiful bike! I don't know if they produce it these days, but I remember it was very popular in the 1970s.

I did as much research on these dual carb 600’s as I could. An interesting item I found was flat track racers preferred these dual carb heads because they flow more air in stock form than the single carb heads which gave higher top speeds on the straightaways. If you think about it, (2) 28mm carbs at full open is 56mm. I believe the single carb XR600 is a 39mm. Quite a bit more flow stock. Once these flat track racers starting hand porting, higher compression, better valve job, these things would make big power.

The other mod I did to my 87 was to replace that flex line on the bottom of the frame reservoir screen bolt to the engine. Mine looked like it almost had a kink in it and made me feel like the oil flow was restricted through it. I used a stock line from the 650L and it bolted right up. The bend section on the 650L line is steel.

I bought a 1987 XR600 from the original owner about 4 years ago. He had it stored in his garage under cover since 1996. He could not get it to start and sold it to me for cheap. I took the carbs out and went though them and found someone had swapped the bowls when putting them back on and the enrichment circuit was blocked off so it would not start. While I had them out I rebuilt both with Honda carb kits. Here is my setup: 128 primary 48 idle 125 secondary Pri needle - E2348D 4th groove from top Sec needle - E2049D 2nd groove from top I couldn’t tell from your video but it looked like your secondary carb is opening too soon. The service manual says it should start to open around 1/3 opening of the primary. Then the progressive linkage allows it to reach fully open at the same time as the primary. My bike runs perfect. Zero bog, zero hesitation. The dual carbs are amazing when they are set up right. I have stock air filter, stock engine, stock header, but FMF Quiet Core slip on muffler. I see yours has HRC kit so I’m not sure what mods that includes. The cold start up procedure for me results in 1 kick start every time whether it’s 40 degrees outside or 100. Enrichment lever full up, I turn the idle speed screw clockwise about 2 turns. Open the throttle fully, pull in decompression and kick through fast 8 times. I get it on compression and then use decompression lever to just get to TDC then jump on it. If it doesn’t start for some reason, I open throttle fully, hold decomp, and kick through 8 times again before trying to start. I’ve never had any issue starting it.

Man , I love your vids, whenever your at is a bike paradise

Sounds like the valves need adjusted

I am curious what size the pilot jet size now..i think who ever played with the jetting had no bizz ever messing with them at all being left that loose, on my 84 XR500 the mains were 135 stock, so somebody was really drunk that night working on a XR600 🤓

Btw, thanks for all the entertainment you've given us this year. Merry Christmas.
