When you finish this RM Joe be sure to KEEP IT. Nicest RM you ever had! #Maxima #Mooseracing #Fox
It's in great condition w/lots good parts!
38mm carb!! Nice.
Finally a dirt bike
yep
4 wheel, WTF 🤬
Agreed getting fed up with these quad things, they aren't bikes are they?🤯🤔🤯🤔👊
He used to do Lot of bikes
That’s what I’m saying
Oh man, this brings back the memories. My first bike was a 1987 Suzuki Rm 125. I had that bike from new when I was 7yrs old and still have it today. The motor is locked up and has been sitting since 2006 under a tarp in the garage. This gives me motivation to open it up and get it running again.
is it a 125cc?
You must fix it. Way to nice of a bike to leave broken in the garage. You'll thank yourself the first time you rip it across the yard. ;)
@@Stefan_38 no it's a 90000 what do you think 125 means.
Get out there and work on it! That's a sweet bike!
You should bro!
Finally we're back to dirt bikes
Love the 2 stroke vids. Especially appreciate the old rm’s cr’s kx’s and yz’s. Would love if you do more of these like when your channel had first started.
I've been a loyal subscribed fan of yours for a few years and I still get a kick out of each new video that you put out. Never fails to put a smile on my face. I've watched you learn, never too proud to accept advice, and have become pretty successful at everything you do. Never lose faith in yourself, you've got a good head on your shoulders Joe.
Thanks for continuing to watch! I really appreciate the kind words!
Keep up these regular uploads! I love getting up and watching them in the morning time.
Got to love the simplicity of a 2 stroke. Good video man.
Can’t wait for the first start!!! Great job on all your projects, love the video!
Great video. I have the same year RM125 and will be tearing apart the engine soon. Your videos have been great for learning about engine rebuilds. 👍👍
Nice. To see a mx bike again , I just finished a 83 Husqvarna cr 500 rebuild , nice work Joe, good video coverage and hands on work 👍
Always enjoy watching you fix things. Check that lower radiator hose on the clutch side. Looks like it's kinked in this video
That grooved basket is shot..
Yeah it's pretty bad
I've been waiting for this one, can't wait to watch it!🔥
Hey man I just want to thank you for your detailed videos they are very thorough and accurate, You totally help me fix my RM 125 thanks buddy!
Splitting cases would stop me. Great diagnosis what a save.
Thanks for watching! It's easy to split cases with the correct tools.
I've been waiting for a dirt bike vid... much love from the UK 🤘👍👊🤙🙌💚🙏
So glad I am seeing a 2 wheeled MX bike 🇬🇧
More to come!
Finally a dirt bike keep these coming
awesome video! love the dirt bike content!
I just finished mine last night same model same year!!! Loving it 💖
Great video. I like the way you work. Your videos are always very complete and consise. Thanks again for your time today. Enjoy your week.
Thanks for watching!
I love seeing y bring in dirt bikes more then quads
Clean looking rm I believe you can file those clutch groves smooth,it will shift alot better if you do
I haven't watched you in 2 months because of all the four wheelers when I saw the rm125 I was like I'M BACK LOL
haha a lot more dirt bike content coming!
I like all your content. This is a little extra nice for an old man that had lots of bikes Over a 42 year period.
Keep collecting!
Just found your channel its great, keep up the good work 😊
Well done ! Good job
Can't get enuff of these RMs ! Own a 100% redone 06 RM85 for my son. It's a powerhouse. VHM head. New cylinder /top end. Vertex piston /rings. New Boyesen reeds & boyesen stator cover. UFO updated plastics! Pro Circuit pipe /silencer. New Kenda tires. Ready to RACE 🏁.
About time man I haven’t watch many of ya videos lately cause no dirt bikes man more dirt bikes less atvs
really nice video. im doing a rebuild of a 2007 RM 125 my self so this was a great find for me!
Awesome!
OK countershaft slider gear was in backwards, that'll sure do it.
Cool video! Thanks Joe!
Yep not good!
Love your videos. I have a yfz 450 quad and I’ve always wanted to add a kick start. I can’t seem to find a good video so hopefully one day you can consider making one for someone like me that is not mechanically incline but loves to try. Keep up the good work.
I've heard of people adding one. Would probably take quite a bit of fabricating to make it work.
You can get a kit for it there’s no fabrication required at all besides cutting the right rear fender a bit
I love theses types of videos 👉💯
Do more 2 stroke dirt bikes! Love The videos on these! Do more kx's rm's cr's and yz's these are The best videos and I watch them over and over again! I just love 2 strokes!
I have another dirt bike video coming up!
@@2vintage Nice! As a said love The videos and I learn allot from you like Allot. I have about 10 dirt bikes myself and I mostly buy them broken and fix them and sell for a profit but some of them i like so much i keep them after there fixed. You have inspired me to do this and its all becuase of you i started doing this and I love it! Much love from sweden and looking forward to se many more videos on your chanell! Thanks! 😃
Apart from the motor, cleanest bike if seen in a while
Really clean bike, been looking for a 125 for awhile but they are all either in boxes or 3 grand
Ya I was looking for a 125 two stroke for 2 years before I found anything decent under 3
That's awesome you were able to help him out, I'm having a little trouble with that 97 rm 125, Im going to change the clutch plates and maybe file the basket and I'm praying that takes care of my issues, thanks for the video
Good luck!
@@2vintage thanks man, just got the tusk clutch plates yesterday, gonna put em in today!!!
I have the 97 RM 125 also with a clutch that seems like it never disengages when I pull in the lever. Even if I push the actuator arm forward by hand as far as it will go. Likes to stall when put in 1st gear if not moving the bike forward. Now I’m having trouble getting it to go into 3rd gear... Clutches and basket are stock but look great and I lubed plates with Synthetic 10w40. Haven’t tried to run the bike yet but did changing the plates work for you? Or do you think it’s the shift forks/drum? Thanks...
Great video!! I knew you would find the issue!! When you were putting on the stater i though you might of forgot to put the wood drift key in. But looks like you forget the clutch arm. I didn't notice either!!
Yeah i put the woodruff key in off camera because I had to go back in after and record it.
It’s worth the wait to hear that brrrraaappp
That's a nice rm 125 joe that's the way il ike to keep mine clean nice video man look forward to 2nd part 👍🔧🔧🔧👌
thanks, making part 2 of the video today
Love a good 2 stroke engine rebuild 😁
Great video Joe, please check the squish brother I'm 100% sure that dome on the piston is hitting the head
I will check to make sure!
another awesome video :D
Now we are splitting cases. I remember when Joe would just paint it and send it . Skill and task level upgrading .!!
Heck yeah bro !!
Finally another dirt bike!
Hey Joe. Another great video!! I really enjoy the in depth engine video's because I like to see how everything works. How do you know all of the little tricks and reference points to each engine? I would think different engines have different lines to match up in different places. Also, where did you learn about the intricate gears and all of the insanely specific directions, and ways the little parts of the lower end goes together?
he looks at diagrams
Yeah each bike is a little different but most are very similar. Once you tear a few down it gets easier and easier to figure out where everything goes. Just a lot of trial and error to learn!
Love the Suzukis bro
Do you have any tips for how to keep parts/bolts in order to try to help when it comes time for reassembly? I have no clue how mechanics are able to do that so easily. Thanks for the entertaining video!
Hey Joe.... the swingarm bolt is in backwards, the head of it has two flats that register into the frame. Clean old RM dude, hope it runs well for you :)
Yep I noticed that as well! I will have to change that, thanks!
What a beauty🥺
Yes a dirtbike, nice !!
Another great video, Thanks! Why is that black radiator hose kinked so bad? Just wondering.
Great video. Where do you find all of your mx bikes and atvs? I can’t seem to find any good deals.
I love rm125 esp the 01 modellllll 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great video
Clean bike for the year
You do a great job on these bikes you work on. Are you a bike mechanic buy trade?
Been watching since day one And watch every video Keep up the good work @2vintage
Thanks for continuously watching!
I would love to see a rebuilt on the rm125
thats going to be a nice bike.
Clean❤️
Nice 🔥
Yeah boi !
Nice!
On that bike you know it's right because you did it twice! lol
Finally 2 stroke bike
knew that wouldn't be one of yours lol. hey have a look at the black coolant hose its kinked on bottom of rads you probably saw it but couldn't help myself
Good vid kid .
Thanks for watching!
Ok I have a question. Would Suzuki recommend putting silicone RTV on the head gasket? It seems very odd to me to do that. Maybe this is a motorcycle thing. I don't work on motorcycles.
Nice👍
Lol I got pretty much same set up
98 Rm 125 with a bills pipe
Thing ripped pretty good until my basket got massive grooves in it
i didn’t know he still did dirt bikes.
oh yeah a lot more dirt bike content coming
So how much was the bike ? i enjoy how you update what your total cost into a bike is as you fix it
You need dome nuts (or acorn nuts) on the cylinder head. It may leak coolant
you need to pry that lever with the wheel on it back off the ratchet wheel so you can take it off... thats why your prying it off because of the side load that wheel is putting on that ratchet assy..
The 4th gear issue is mostlikly that warn shift fork
It can, i bought Jaguar Xtype 2.5 v6 for about 800 USD and its rund and drive :D
Sweet
I got one of these for 200 dollars in pieces one week later a new piston and gasket kit . Probably about 400 all together and I had a screaming 125.
400? for a piston and gaskets? you got ripped off
Just a thought will the Nick on the head transfer the heat there and turn bright red and fire the piston off before the pulse of the ignition 2 spark plug . Like they do on a 6 cylinder two-stroke. ? 🤔 I know if the nick is big anuff it will or a litle ones to and or over heat the heads at least. ?
I can grind off the marks to make it flat
Nice
My brother is taking care of a RM-Z 250 for a friend, and it works like a charm. It is a racing bike and is a bike that requires a lot of attention, like changing the oil after 20 hours of driving. Sorry for yapping, but if you want a fun Suzuki, look into the 2013 RM-Z.
Driving? Not riding? Racing bike ?
Sorry @Lee Fair but you are right that is what I meant.
@@joelburnham4564 I’m just messing have a good day xx
Heck man id love to send my engine to you and would pay your price, if willing its a 96 rmx250 that needs a crank rebuild and a cylinder hone.
Couple of little nicks in the head... They'll form hot spots, ie "pinking" and will likely give you a "new transfer port in the piston" at some point when you're ragging it. Good luck! :-)
Hell yea
I wanna get a dirt bike idk if I should just get a 250 bc ive been riding 4 wheelers my whole life or just get a 125 but either way I'm prob gonna get a 2 stroke just bc u need to be more constant with your shifts or whatever so I could be better at shifting
I'm 6'1 and 250fat but a 125cc is a lot more fun if you are riding a track and getting out of turns. If you want more top speed and ride a fast track or dunes the 250cc is good. You really can't lose with either size and for reference I have a Yamaha Blaster that snaps out of the corners but I prefer my YZ125 when riding bikes.

2 Vintage Why Cr 125 1993 keep scraching My piston I ride only 3 Time and it blow up it blow up 2 brand new piston only 2 hours in it so can you help me fix the problem
The clutch basket does not groove because you do wheelies trust me I've been riding dirt bikes for 25 year and work on them in shops for like 8 years form normal wear and tear have taken stunt bikes apart and the clutch is flawless and they do wheelies all the time.
oh I head dropping the clutch can make those big grooves.
Yeah there's a lot of opinions out there. If you think about it to race or just to ride good. You have to pop the clutch to start and in various other situations. All most people have to do is upgrade clutch pack and spring some older models maybe little bit more. This also would have many factors on life of machine.
Also if the machine comes with a faulty clutch unit or something from factory.
Do you always have to put the silicone sealant stuff on the gasket? Or is ok if you don’t?
No you don't need to put rtv silicone gasket maker on most gaskets. But it's always a good idea and safe preventative to apply a thin coat, helps to ensure a leak free engine (no air leaks that your eye can't visibly see without a leak down test). Important thing to make sure your surface is prepped and cleaned properly, no knicks or gouges, no left over debris or old gaskets.
You don't have to, but it prevents any leaking from engine. I'd rather apply a thin coat of gasket maker than have to go back and fix a leak later.
@@coloradodirtbike5930 just put oil no need for silicone
Black rad hose on bottom of rad is kinked
Hey 2 vintage major question what do you use to remove a 1991 rm125 flywheel I need to remove mine but I don’t know how
Can either back the nut off the crank till it's flush with end of threads and give "lite" taps with a brass/lead hammer while holding upwards pressure on the flywheel, or buy the special puller that has left-hand threads and makes it's a simple process, hope this helps ya out.
Buy a flywheel puller They are like $15
👍🏻
I wanted an RM soooo much as a kid it hurt. Never got one :( Nice video, thanks for uploading!
Id love to be able to pick stuff like this up in UK I've been looking for a supermoto dr 400 ,its looking like I might have to settle for another type ,Edinburgh just incase anyone in here knows off one Scotland UK, peace ,
I've been looking for a DRZ 400 aswell but no luck in the UK :(
Did you address the horrible kink in the lower radiator hose?
I will
Brings back memories My 2nd bike 1st big bike My 1st was a DT50 then this RM125 I Loved it till the pistons went; then I got a CR250 and been on CR's ever since then! But good bikes the RM...
Hey do you think a wrist pin could cause alot of top end noise?
if it is very worn out maybe. Most likely a bearing or worn piston/rings.
@@2vintage is there any way I can send you a video of what it sounds like
@@That__mxc550 yeah you can send me one on Instagram: @2_vintage_
I don't think i've seen a Yamaha Wr250r or Wr450r on your channel yet. If u get one that would be a great video. Not that your videos aren't already great.
Yeah that would be a fun bike to do a project on
Yamaha WR250z's (2stroke) are really hard to come by, the wr500z is more so as they weren't meant for the U.S. market but a few got through the Canadian boarder. I have a '92 WR250z in my collection after years of looking for one, it lugs at low RPM's and gets on the pipe pretty quickly so you have to be ready to grab gears fast. I'm still looking for a WR500
