This has become my new favorite channel..I'm addicted to the content without music - sometimes birds chirping in the background of sweet two stroke sounds. I can't believe there are still good young men such as yourself out there that doesn't feel the need to swear. Keep up the videos and remember that it's not work when your doing something you enjoy!!
Time to invest in a good parts washer, especially with the state of this engine.
Gotta love an 80's 2 stroke dirtbike .
I want a 89 CR 125 , they are good, I had one in year 2000 I want to fix one up an make it better than new
@@kingkong81icloud those are nice, I'm sure a barnyard find will pop up soon
I had the 89 Cr500R
@billturner1240 lucky man, I' rode 1 a few yrs back for the first time. Bike pulled a wheelie in 4th I politely gave the owner his bike back 😂
@@billturner1240 I had a 91 YZ 250 , am sure older bikes were faster, ave had loads of bikes 4 Yamaha DT125R s , I would rather have a older evo bike than these new ones
Honda had the best dirt bikes in the 80s. Back then the corrosion didnt exist cause they were new. Now most are 35 years old and still running, amazing. 👍
Rubbish brother I had an 89 kx80 and that thing was a thing of beauty, what a machine!I now have a yz250 92!Needs a bit of love ,still a wicked 2 stroke machine!🦾🦾👌🇿🇦🏈
@@craigmorgan4676 lets break this down. 1st off I said 80s Hondas, not 90s yzs, so that eliminates your yammie. 89 kx 80? Are you kidding me?🤣 Kawasaki rims crack, cylinders lock up, gears pop, frames crack, plastics crack and fall off, and that's an 80cc toddler bike, cmon man 👌🤔Honda is the Cadillac of all dirt bikes, period, even today. 💪👍🤠🇺🇸
Yes, the Honda were the best bikes through the 80's but unfortunately the magnesium were to phrone to corrosion so not most of them are still running. Infact they are very rare today in vintage racing. Partly because the corrosion problem but also the odd bearing dimensions that you cannot find today. I think all other japanese bikes have survived better than Honda and KTM.
@@swektmaico 👍😉Says the maico breako fan.👍
@@Workerbee-zy5nx I have many brands, but talking about maico, the cases are indestructible and all bearings are standard sizes. I don't know where you live but maicos can quite possible be the most common bike at your nearest track when there is a vintage event.
Real men ride dirt bikes in shorts while there’s snow on the ground. Respect.
So the silver your seeing in the gear oil is actually from the clutch basket.the grooves you noticed in the basket,its actually aluminum in the oil.
Time for a parts washer! 👍👍
You bring me back to when I was younger. I grew up riding 2 strokes and they are the best bikes in my opinion. When I was younger I was good at the basics when it came to working on them. But since I found your channel I have learned a lot and I plan on getting another bike soon. Also I want to say you have the best channel on UA-cam and I look forward to seeing new videos. Keep up the amazing work and thank you for sharing your knowledge
Just a tip, something like Evans Waterless Coolant will eliminate corrosion.
Love the video. Thanks for posting.
That’s what I use, it’s good stuff
The metal flakes are probably from the aluminum clutch plates. They made the plates out of aluminum so as they wear out they will not damage anything else. The older style plates were made of steel much more durable but harder on the clutch baskets and pressure plate
You shouldve used heat to expand that stuck acorn nut😢
My 82 cr 250 clutch cover was totally ruined by corrosion and got one from Russel Clutch covers around 400$ all aluminum. Keep up the 80’s Dirtbike videos Joe Love Them 🤙🏻
Don't run Glycol based fluid in them. I started running 60/40 Nissan Synthetic L25500P Blue Long Life in my stuff and haven't had a single issue with corrosion. It's basically the same fluid that Polaris recommends for there RZR SXS's but you can get the aftermarket equivalent of Nissan Synthetic Blue fluid for $17 a gallon instead of $20+ per quart.
In 1986 Johnny O kicked everyone's but even the big bore 500s on the 1986 CR125. The motocross Denation race. That a desired bike you got there Joe
UA-cam channel called jennies garage just had the same problem with a water pump. It was the bearing in the pump that was bad. It was the bearing in the case
You said there were scratches in the clutch basket. The JB welds didn’t stay on the atac valve either
If you’re sending the rear shock out for rebuild, send the forked with it. They can’t be far behind in wear and they look like they’re weeping.
🤓🤓
Who do you send them too and about how much is it?
@@Anonymous__Prime The only one I ever used was Factory Connection, and it was a while ago, but they’re still in business with several locations to choose from. Their web site has current info on price etc.
I’m 55 and miss going that fast on dirt. Now I stick to highways and go fast with my 2006 Harley Heritage Softail Classic.
I always replace the shaft and bearings when the water pump seal goes out. The shaft usually gets grooves worn in it. Make sure to put the shaft in the bearings and see if the bearings have any slop in them. Worn bearings will quickly cause the new seal to wear out. Never use Glycol based coolant in a bike. It creates corrosion especially in the cast aluminum parts such as the pump housing.
What type of coolant is recommended instead?
Maxima brand coolant is a safe bet
I’m always amazed that you can get that much power out of that little bore and piston. Gonna be hard to replace the internal combustion engine.
I agree. You definitely cannot duplicate the brrrapp of a two stroke, or the smell of exhaust. The battery people can choke on the smoke.
You'll be surprised one day. Only electric can deliver 100% of torque at zero RPM.
And I'm amazed that everything always seems to go smoothly ...well there was the fire Incident . Can we get a bloobers with crash and burns ? That'd be bad ass! And thanks for all the bike knowledge you've taught me.
No way with vin . He called that bike out at the beginning.
6 point sockets and a little heat for the head bolt.
Those front shocks are toast too
To loosen the head bolt I use a Forney carbon arc torch. With the welder turned off. I grab the nut with the torch, carbons, then Turn the werder on and off till the nut turns a little red. Then I let the nut cool a bit, while the nut is still hot, I loosen the bolt.. Nice way to reuse an antique welder.
34:15 Hey Joe grab another pair of vise grips and turn the knob tighter on your vise grips that are clamping the nut, you can get a way tighter grip that way
So many problems introduced by water cooling. There have been many screaming air-cooled 2 stroke bikes over the years. Gotta wonder why the water cooled models got a hold on the markets.
Definitely need to use a hex head impact socket on tight bolts n nuts to avoid stripping them
Boats just randomly parked, 😂 great channel, I sure miss my days of riding.
Looking forward to the power washer box being opened (and used) :)
Had this same bike. Got for $100 bucks after sitting for ten years. I completely restored it. Ended up trading it for a banshee. Wish I would have kept it. Enjoy it.
I'm so glad I'm subscribed to this channel it teaches me so much about small engines and dirt bikes, ATVs, whatever. Rock on dude! Rock on! 👍👍👍
All of your bike vids are top. Keep up the great work. From England
Nothing better than an 80's bike!
Interesting on the paint. On a minimal search I never found factory painted DeLorean, but several people have painted them red for unknown reasons. Peculiar indeed. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Looking forward to the next video on this little rocket! It still ripped even with ATAC stuck open and worn rings, says something for Honda! Thanks man!
I said it in the first episode of this bike, whomever owned it before (probably the guy who bought it) or gal, anyway, they cared for that bike. Looks like they did ride it hard, but not beat it down as the frame is still in good shape underneath, they put money into a quality rebuild back when it was time originally.. really nice find Joe..
I love all these older model bikes I just love em smell sound the way they ride the good old memories made on these bikes when u get one it takes u right back 2 ur younger day's when things actually made sense.
It's looking like it will soon be snowmobile season!noticed a light scattering of the white stuff?from an excited BIGMICK IN THE UK 🇬🇧 👍
That rear shock can be rebuilt. You can do it yourself or have a professional suspension builder rebuild it
love your content look like the front shocks were blowed out too as soft as they are . Keep up the good work and invest into a parts cleaning station as much as you work on engines. Love you man awesome job.
Hope u get it sorted, 80s Honda are the boys, I've an 83 84 and 85 cr80, I had them all 35 years ago wen was a kid wen they were new, all the bikes I had then I've found as many as I can now. my 94 Yz80 is the fastest I've ever drove.
It would be amazing if you ever found a '70's 501 Maico 4 speed. If you've never ridden one you owe it to yourself at least once. Great vid! Thank you!
I like the teardowns. Ok so when the snow starts sticking on the ground it's time to start wearing pants!! 😄😄
😂
I would describe a lean condition as a bog and a rich condition as a sputter, am I wrong?
Lock tight is not going to work on exhaust. We had trouble with a certain model chain saw that we used to sale with the muffler bolt coming out. The only way we found to keep them in was fouling the threads in a vice.
86 is the holy grail year !.....good deal is an understatement
Love this bike every time I see it, remember to get some shock reservoir rubber’s looking a bit tight strapped against your frame, China makes some 87 250 clutch covers maybe 86 if in dire need, great job 🍀👍🙏
You can increase your measurement range by combining feeler gauge blades.
Keep crossing them off the list Joe. Looking forward to seeing it finished up.
Awesome as always........Vinnie never disappoints! Really admire the work you do on these various bikes and the ability to work through whatever is thrown at you....Thanks, and keep up the GREAT work.....
Hey Joe on the water pump repair which I know you are familiar with the J-B Weld repair there is a product used on gas tanks at O'Reilly's called Red Kote. I'm willing to bet if you did a really good clean up on all that stuff you would be able to use the red coat to seal anything as it is not harmed by any fuel I'm sure that it would not be harmed by antifreeze or oil. Maybe worth a try and hey you'll have a lot left over to seal any gas tanks that's for sure. I use that product in my Suzuki tank over 2 years ago without any weird effects or peeling or anything works really good. Anyway Joe take care of yourself buddy and good luck as always
the rod bearing doesnt run in the gear oil which you mentiond at around 23:00. the sealant you applied at the start did nothing to stop oil entering the coolant because it seals the coolant from leaking outside the motor. the metal in the oil is likely from the clutch basket wear you already noted
For really stuck bolts... a hammer impact gives them a little shock and breaks them loose. I would not believe it myself until I couldnt get some brake caliper bolts on a yamaha atv I was working on. But at least you got that head bolt off.
you are my favorite channel on youtube i love watching your videos and i have learned so many things about motors
Amazing how much better this runs than the YZ125!!! Honda equals quality that was Made to Last!! I think you were getting the oxidation from the inner cases.. Aluminum dust would turn it grayish in the coolant?! IDK, I'd do a top end and send it!! It's 37yrs old!!
Another great video, always a learning moment. Your patience and knowledge are amazing
Gotta love the echo of the 80s...Great times..Great video..
Very fun and interesting watching you repair and restore these bikes. I want a dirt bike as well
Looks like the rear brake arm is bent. Great job as always!
You should just rebuild the rear shock yourself. The seal head is 40 bucks the tool to help press the seal head down is 50 bucks and you can use for others so it pays for itself, also buy fork seal 20 bucks. the forks on it have no fluid when you showed the rear shock bouncing the front was doing the same. Use fork oil in the rear shock and the front forks, save money and its perfectly fine. I doubt you can find a good rear shock cheaper than rebuilding both of them and it makes good content. Good job! By the way buy the race tech tool it's got a better perch to push down.
Nice project, interesting repairs. Congrats subs up views up
I had a 1986 cr125 when I was in 6th grade. One thefan blades broke off and was shorting my water flow. Lost 4 pistons and a jug over that but it was fast. Had it a piston .8 over at 1 point. My back axle would not come out and don't sell vin lol
Please turn the camera angle up when you ride! Nice plastics, I love the orange and black color scheme. I can watch your videos all day. You do great work!
On the corrosion on the case you could you a leak test with red penetrant (non-destructive testing), but instead of doing a 20 minute test which is for the surface, you could do an over night test and apply the developer on the outside
Engine Ice is the way to go
This is proof that the "kid who always wears shorts" never grows out of it after leaving middle school ..... ;-)
I learned so much from ur channel thank you take your time to do what you do
If I think a nut is going to be awkward, I always try with a 6 sided socket wrench instead of the regular multi poot socket. I rarely have anything I can't get undone using this method.
Some times you may see a slight metallic sheen in the oil. Not a major problem. Hondas of this period used aluminum clutch plates and they shed tiny flakes through normal wear. I have a 1984 CR125R waiting on the time for a rebuild. In 84 the 500's were real beasts, the 250's were rockets and the stock 125's were anemic at best. I also had a 500, bored .060 over and pushing 180 lbs compression, it was like riding a 60 HP hand grenade. You wanted it pointed the direction you wanted to go when you pulled the pin!!!
Use high heat JB WELD. last forever. Have machinist tig weld that shaft and recut it to spec with a lathe. Done it a few times, always works.
Let’s see a ‘resto’ of this…new seat cover n that.
On a few of the bikes he has would love if he could find a Can am 125 fav as a kid
Shock rebuilds are easy to do,I bet you can do it too
Sometimes heating up a nut with a little gas torch in combination with some penetrating oil might also work for loosen up some pesky rusty nuts.
Just once I’d like to see you bail into the woods with a brake failure. 😆 Of course I’d not want to see you get hurt. Just funny content! Love your videos they’ve helped my builds. Keep on crushing it!
I've had that problem multiple times with '80s Hondas Yes those cases are available Geoff Morris concept in Australia makes aluminum recreations of those cases they're about 500 Canadian so I don't know what that comes to in American probably about 380 I'm guessing
Don't run tap water in those Honda's with magnesium cases run distilled water with antifreeze. That should help with the case decaying
Awh come on, Joe, you'd get at LEAST $150 for Vinny!!!
Rocket Ron Racing can rebuild the rear shock for you. Evans Cool is an non corrosive antifreeze you might want to try Joe.
You're measuring the piston incorrectly. Not in the right place
Cool that you included where the right place to measure is in your comment. 🤏 helpful
How exactly is he not measuring in the right place like? Seems absolutely fine to me 🤷
I believe it was Micky Dymond on the 86 cr125 that the piston pin bearing,aka wrist pin bearing, let go costing him and Honda the 125 national championship. Honda upsized that bearing for the 87 model year for that reason Im fairly sure. Never had an 86, still have an 87. And a 95.
Normal wear and tear signs, shiny flakes barely visible. Think you'll be fine, maybe just top end rebuild for General principal.
I’d love to see you work on a GasGas 250 EC or 300 EX. Amazing bikes.
Just saw these chrysler “sno bikes” on marketplace. Hope he cuts the price so you buy em. Looks super cool!!!!!
Well brother except for the sticker shock there is a place in the uk making reproduction covers. I'm pretty sure they reproduce for all the 80s cr models but they're like 700 so only good if ur doing a full restore. Love the video
Apm components do aluminium clutch covers or get them from Russel brown in Australia
Sell a Bike and buy a Tig welder ...it will pay for itself in no time for you. Welding Aluminum is a must for flipping Bikes.
I have not seen you do a Maico would be a great watch and your veiw on riding the bike
trans fluid in anything will always have some type of flakes or fine shaving from wear
I don’t understand why you use gasket maker? That’s the point of having a gasket. It creates a crappy finish and looks bodgy
Another video Let's Go keep up the hard work❤🎉
Another great video Joe!
Put the correct OEM seat cover and graphics on it. Wold look so much nicer
I found your channel last week and I love it! So you have about a grand into it. What do you sell it for ? Let me know if you would please! Just curious. Thanks Ray
Motul motocool FL is for magnesium cases. The red stuff
Geoff Morris concepts in Australia makes those cases brand new
I like the glastron out there. I got a 79 CVX20
i love 2 stroke dirt bikes they are fun
Me to I'm getting new yz125 in December I get my bonus I'm excited
I think Vin needs a recliner in the corner of the shop so he can supervise
Send that shock over to Rocket Ron...it'll come back better than new.
Very well done, informative videos.
