Badass little bike!!!The 1970 suzuki 125 i just revived,made me fall in love with these old bike all over again.
Thanks for saving these small engine bikes. I like that you got it running and "operating" and now passing it on to someone to finish and hopefully driving it.
I guess you could call it a golden rust slushie this time 😂 fantastic video as always sir
Hey John if you get a can of B-12 Chemtool Spray it would emulsify that gunk and funk if you let it sit works really good 👍 don't get it on painted surfaces that you care about.
Huge W to the dog for keeping up with you the entire test drive lmao. Great video John!
W to see you going uncle with your LUMBAGO
Always love seeing new videos from you and you do such a good job of putting these together, keep at it man, you'll be big one day!
Berryman carb cleaner comes in gallon can with a basket in it works great to set over night
I wish I had time to watch all of you guys that I hear about on junkyard digs. You all have such great content!
I love these old models i remember my grand brother 175 semi trail bike :) nice bike to restored!
Very informative. What a nice little bike!
Time to invest in an ultrasonic cleaner lol
But hey it's running... like good lol had me laughing. Great vid.
With the handle bars down it looks like a dog that got in trouble for pissing on the carpets.
it`s nice to see an old rig back on the road!
small word of advice here: that fuel line looks like a firehazard that close to the cooling fins...
overseas we call those fuelfilters "see through zippos" because of their bad tendency to melt on valve covers =/ just saying^^
Hey thanks for the advice would hate to catch on fire 😂
Cheech and Chong? "John's not here, man!" (he's out escaping the Terminator on his new (to him) motorcycle!)
Sweet old bike, it'll make a great restoration project for somebody! Projects that start with a running engine are great.
Love it! Old bikes are so much fun to revive.
I’ve been rebuilding carbs for years. Never had luck saving a gasket. Ever.
Such relatable content, john. I love it ❤
Another home run bro, loving your work.
Evaporust is an awesome rust remover…possible tank rust remover? Just an idea.
I wanna see the clutch get fixed. 😀
I remember when you could buy this bike new for under $1000.00 good job
Dont sell it,restore it and ❤it !
Omg at how bad the carb bowl was yikes
Never seen a carby their on a bike
Change of chanel name organic rust or bust hahaha😊
How much are you going to sell it for?
I don’t know 🤷🏼♂️
HARDER THAN A WUT???????????
I collect all of my old gas in a large bucket, then use it to start massive bonfires
I usually dump it on my neighbors property it keeps him grass under control
@@josephmiele3745 well that's a lawsuit waiting to happen
@@homebuilthorsepower3207 The whole town should Sue him for the shape of his property. I'm doing him a favor. L o l
Same
Nice one John! Good to see you managed to get her up and running again
This was the exact first bike I ever worked on as a kid!! My dad gave it to me when I was about 11, but I couldn't get it running because I couldn't afford a new stator plate. Glad to see you were more successful than me!!
Thats awesome 😎 they are definitely a neat machine
Had this exact same bike as my first official "dirt bike" but it was electric green, I was 14 or 15 and bought it left over in 1980 from Scott's Kawasaki in Barnsville, NB Canada and paid $765 with my mom chipping in half. I put a plastic front fender on and knobbies front and back, took the indicator lights off it and drove the snot out of it!! Later bought a '78 Suzuki RM100. What a time we had with those! Anyway thanks for the memories!! Subbed!
Thank you for the comment and for subscribing
Hehehehe
Great Job, I'm covered up projects right now but I would like to get a hold of an old two stroke and turn it into an ultra light cafe racer. Don't see many around that are street legal. I would want at least a 250, preferably larger. I don't know the guy, but a man around here has several classic two stroke bikes, mostly Suzukis, good shape too. Wish he would stop and talk to me sometime.
The single best carb cleaner I've ever run into is the Honda official Combustion Chamber Cleaner. It's expensive but it will dissolve that shit like you wouldn't believe.
The handlebars make it look like a sad beagle
Lmfao "the bike didn't want to shift properly and was smoking more then cheech and Chong" 😂😂
I had the trail boss 100 ! Ten speed, 5 trail and 5 street. I remember that sound .Knock a hold in the side cover and let that carburetor get some air ! hehe
Dude, buy yourself an ultrasonic cleaner! You will not regret it!
I had one like that and they are tough we all beat on it and it kept running .
Don't see these Old Motorcycles Very often nowadays nice little find John
I see you have the Super Troopers mustache going. Well played.
I think that gas in the bottom of the tank probably saved it. A mess to clean out, but no rust holes!
I love the laugh when something starts for the first time in forever
Cool revival John, nice to see these old machines brought back to life 👍👍🤘🔥
Old girl runs and idles pretty dang good 😮
I’d say 99 percent of the time. Just have to file the points 😂 those were the days. Not like modern bikes. I’m sorry but the newer ones are just junk. They still don’t do what idlers did. Mine is over 40 years and still running like it’s brand new.
13:50 That's what's known as the "Push Me Pull You" Exhaust system. LOL. That filter is going going gone very quickly too.
Take the right hand side panel off,it's where the 2 stroke oil tank is. Also the exhaust/muffler clamp is missing at the front Had loads of the KH/KHX,KHE range. The KHx was probably the KMX and the KHE was the KME
good vid bud, very cool, going be doing more work this summer on my 51 gmc fire engine on my channel :D so excited for it
My 1976 KE 100 was my first bike. Got it when I was 15. Loved it. It was a 2 stroke. Engine and bike looks the same.
Did well for $100.00 bike also needed some Tender Loving Care John didn't noticed if brake light work and brakes too ! Also surprised Kick Start didn't kick back and didn't good thing!
Also got a -76 but here it called Sports 100 (G7 then ) Other airfilter unit-Exaust- Taillight -Saddle and stripes -sidecovers and as far l can se tank .
Try Yamalube Combustion Chamber cleaner for your 2 stroke carbs. It will clean your jets and bowl like brand new. Been using it for over 20 years and it works as well as ultrasonic. It comes in a spray can. Most Yamaha dealers will have it and I've seen it online.
My first bike with a clutch was the ke100, it’s the enduro version of your bike . Great video ! Brought me Back
Shoot, for $100 you cain't beat that with a stick! Assumin' it's a two-smoke?
That old gas is great for startin' fires - it's lost it's oomph, so you get to keep your hair, and The Man don't get on ya for dumpin' it!
More I see you and other channels get one of these old 70s 2 stroke bikes going, more I want to get another one to restore, sold my last one off 16 years ago.
I have basically the same bike!!! Mine is a 72 g100. It ran pretty good but has her issues
I was 10 years old when that baby was built! Damn, I'm old, kid!!
Cheers my guy. Met ya @ the Davenport swap meet this morning. Keep workin!!
I have no ideea where ppl find bikes for 100 to 500 dollars. This would be pricy as f in my country
Oh my, birkenstocks AND jean shorts! That's a majestic sight.
That’s thing is awsome
We had one something like this but a 125 rotary valve engine. It stop running at one time and it sat for a while till we fifured out the exhaust got plugged by some critters. Its how i learned to ride on this bike.
I owned that exact motorcycle when I was 12-14. That was in 1998. I probably put 8,000 miles on it. This brought back a lot of my best memories.
Another sweet vid man and a sweet bike, liking the chillin lofi music throughout
You always post great shit!! I'd love to see more of, it. 💪🏻
A cop in birkenstocks...whodathunkt?!
Keep up the amazing content👍👍
Just goes to show you don’t need all that fancy machinery to get a project running.
I wouldn’t even restore the finish on that, I’d sort the mechanicals and let her keep her patina, brilliant little thing
I have strapped the gas tank to my lawnmower wheel lifted off the ground and let turn all Day did a good job
Good morning I knew you would be able to get it running. I always enjoy videos like this buying something getting it running then selling it is smart and a good way to get the money you paid out of it and make a profit at the same time
That was pretty cool. Kind of curious how to fix the transmission thing
I've used lacquer thinner in the past for sludgy carbs and components. Works pretty good. Give it a shot!
Should had paid you $100.00 to haul
It to the nearest scrap yard 😅
Good 🐕! Offering help and support!
Those were sweet little bikes. I learned on the Enduro version kz100
Greta Approved on that gas ⛽ tank Lol 😆😁😆😆
Is that a V65 Magna in the back
You’ll have to stick around to find out
get a cheap harbour freight ultrasonic cleaner. they work great on little stuff like that.
Very cool vintage bike. Two strokes are fun
Really need a "low-fi beats to clean your carburetor to" playlist now
Forgot to say congratulations on becoming a police officer.
Great video. Cool bike. It looks to be the same engine as a ke100.
That bike that sat for 25 year has less rust than my daily that’s 10 years old lol
Great vid --- I enjoyed the dog running along on your test drive, sometimes leading the way ---- It looked to be having more fun than running with the snowmobile test drive
Well as soon as we heard the old gas slushie we knew there wasn't any holes...
Im a car guy, but i would love to own a simple old bike like this to zip around on.
Yall make resurrecting old engines look so easy
Use Diesel fuel to clean carburetors just let it sit for 1-3 hours
That stache definitely makes you look like a cop lol
I wish I had that thing!!!!!
You really should invest in an ultrasonic cleaner
just subscribed. loved the vid thx.
Fantastic video great thanks for sharing
The blue jeans and lack of chain guards had me worried. Glad you got it going. After Sealing the gas tank and finding a chain guard, it should make for hours of fun.
Thanks old times for me. I owned a 75 G5 100. Nice video.
Or 1974 it's been a while.
Money shot always involves a woman.😂
My Grey kitten enjoys your video 🐈 😻
That sounds like a 2stroke?
