  • We got this 1983 XL200r for free! Can we get it to fire off and run after 15+ years? Yes, the tires look brand new and were new when installed on the bike in 2004...they've had 0 miles put on them.

    It's always a good feeling when you get something that is broken running again but even more so when it's yours...

    Glad to see you wear a helmet - serious brain injury or not(& I'm not making light of this at all) thank you for wearing one. I appreciate learning about these dirt bikes...don't know if I'll ever own one, but if it's got an engine & wheels, I want to figure it out or learn from someone that's worked on them before. Peace out!

    YYYESSS!!! More bikes, and more on this one! Other people complaining about the Porsche; there’s nothing wrong with doing this also! I love the Porsche project as much as anyone else, but I say THE MORE, THE MERRIER! Heck, I say keep a bike project going at all times WHILE you’ve got the car projects going simultaneously! Bravo! Keep up the great work and great content! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    I have 14 bikes and really appreciate videos like this. Most of mine run, but some are restoration projects like this. I have a very similar bike to this; a 1980 XL125, that I’m hopeful about getting running, a SSSTRONG running XR200, and an XR80 that has an identical electrical problem to this, so this video probably got me over the hump. Thanks! 😊😊😊

    I'm glad it is working out. One thing, there is no way that wire out of the stator cover grounds at the cover bolt like that - if it were an old BSA maybe. It needs to run inside the sheath to someplace out of the way.

    I have a 1983 Honda XL 250 that doesn’t have any back brakes. Watching this video, I can see that mine were put on wrong. Also mine is in way worse shape. (Head gasket leaks a decent amount of oil which burns when it’s ridden and smokes like hell when you stop, timing chain is super clacky, front wheel needs attention) you have a decent bike there. I hope to see it more
