It can make plastic brittle a few weeks later. You can do this by hand with some kind of hard sponge (I don't know the name in English) to prevent that. The YT channel "Fortnine" speaks about this in their video about restoring a tiny yellow 50cc
Zyriab Eventho I somewhat agree about the plastic being „briddle“, if you use something like a hairdryer you reduce the risk of this happening. However you can always Sand plastics and spray them, which is the best options if you don‘t want to buy a whole new set of plastics.
There's a video on UA-cam of this dude that restores old plastics and he literally makes them look like brand new it's amazing. He does it by heat and sanding and I'm sure a little buffing at the end.
I got sick of spending money on dirtbikes in 2003, feeling guilty for dropping $9000 on a KTM i opened a bank account and put $500 in. I bought a bike, sold for a profit, did it again, bought 2 more etc etc. Now in 2018 i have $5000 in that account, about 15 vintage enduro bikes, and three road registered trail bikes......about 35 to 40 thousand dollars worth........all from that initial $500. Not counting fuel and oil, which comes out of my everyday account, i havent spent a cent on my hobby since 2003 and i usually buy 15 to 20 bikes a year. So the answer is yes, you can Make Money Buying And Selling Motorcycles.
Hiya cool contrarian thank you for inspiring me to do something with my life as I suffer with m.s & I'm looking for something to do to fill the hours of doing nothingness and you've given me an idea in your comment on how to make some money, so wish me luck on my new adventure, once again thank you👏👏👏👏👏👏☺💪👌👍👊👋👋👋👋👋👋✌
$2000be more realistic to cover some of the time you spent working on the bike and the driving to not charge for your time is slavery to yourself if you get my drift life with no wages how you survive no profit on a couple of builds leaves you broke save some of your wages $10?00 ahour to pay your self and to the house bills for electric and possibly water bills hot water comes at a price then need kids and wife will be clawing at the banks door or worse at th bar door saloon or whatever else you get home and eat your dinner before the dog gets it
Agreed, I drive a 1988 toyota pickup with the 22R engine and I get between 30 and 34 mpg in this thing. I only paid $1300 for it. BEST TRUCK I EVER HAD!!!!!
Your videos are very good. They are fun and full of Mechanic's tips. The way your repair work is filmed doesn't get boring. It's great to see your realistic approach to tear down and assembly. Thank You!
This guy really know what we what for videos its not a usual thing to get people clicking on 17min long videos and enjoy every second of it.. good work brutha ull be at 100,000subs in no time
mountainsun You should be thankful!! Diesel here in the UK ( England ) is $5.98 per US Gallon. ( had to convert from UK gallons to Us gallon, then convert £ to $ to make sure I got that correct ) $5.98 a gallon.... Are you smiling yet?
RAW TOPSHOT haha awesome response! The guys I game with from the UK have told me your gas prices are terrible. East coast I'm paying roughly $2.80 a gallon for normal gasoline, sadly I cannot give you those numbers converted due to high levels of marijuana, but the response was extremely enlightening!
My diesel is gigantic, a 7.3 and I still can almost scrape 20 mpg (down hill with favorable winds) 😆. A gasser of similar size would get less than half I'd imagine. Diesels are pretty damn efficient, man. I think he's just very rural.
1500 is low for that in Arizona.. esp since it looks like the dual sport model which is easy to make street legal here that is round $2k would b fair on both parties
The Fallen's Assasin never give up I've found a few different machines and they were free from a few china kids quads I restored from $5-$40 & sold them for few hundred each which I used to buy a good riding bike.. I also came across a fully loaded kawasaki mule under 1k miles came with removable hard shell all glass cab & has a heater like a truck..it just had be reassembled the owner had top end rebuilt but then suffered medical probs & after a month or two in the hospital he wasn't able to finish reassembling, it even came with all the new parts like new electric fuel pump & gas lines so ther is ways also when u find them u have to jump on them immediately
The Fallen's Assasin I usually get $200-$300 per quad, I've been lucky cuz every one I've done my freinds usually buy before I even get to the reassembly the one I sold on craigslist I spent bout $80 on cuz I did new tires & plastic body but I got $500 for it cuz was like a mid size quad it went to a 14yr old
The Fallen's Assasin ya no probs it was the same for me when I started with them but I found thers 2 places in the phx area that have alot of parts instock & helpfull esp when parts from other brands are the exact & work.. I also found quite a few dealers in the usa online which usually also have a amazon & ebay stores..
The Fallen's Assasin clutch plates are easy and cheap & when ur able replace with aftermarket plates like I use Barnett's alot ther an older company & always been reliable & still affordable plus usually the china bikes use cloned motors from older honda's so u can cross reference with like honda atc's like most 50cc-110cc china motors is the same mtr as the old z50's & atc 70's lucky for me I still have my 1st bikes a 81 honda z50r & 81 honda atc 70 I got brand new in 1981 so i was able to compare against ther plates.. utubes is always been great source to find out what other makes & models share the same parts which can save u money plus give u a more quality part
So no doubt this is one of my favorite videos! C'mon man I know your going through some tough "life" issues. Any of them can kill us and bring us back to life at any time. Choose life man. You earned this fanbase and no doubt you got the gall to jump on the oppurtunity before you! Now jump. Give us some content to drool over and you will succeed!
Ebay has some great sticker kits. I hand cut stickers / number plate backgrounds for $ 15.oo and toss a few on the fork legs, and you get a great looking bike that will sell quick. In Atlanta GA this is about a $1800 - $2000 Bike.
I like how he said there was a salvage yard down the road from his house that has a box of kick starters, but it cost him $30 of diesel to get there and back lol good videos man I enjoy watching them
Watching you ride reminds me of my much younger days in the mid 70’s in South Georgia. I had a Yamaha 250 DT-1 Enduro with the GYT kit. It spent more time on me than I did on it. L.O.L.
I have the same helmet for my scoots. People laugh at me so I don’t really like it but seeing you with the same helmet giving it the beans on the track makes me think it’s not so bad
You have excellent videos that are a pleasure to watch. The right balance between having an entertaining video with good production yet not full of fluff and nonsense. Thanks for making them.
It’s a gamble when you try to flip stuff, but if you know what you’re getting into you really can’t lose. The way I approach the game is to buy fixer uppers, get them running and enjoy them for a time before I flip them. Once you do it a couple times you get a sense for the business side of things. Other times you just get lucky and have a great deal fall in your lap. I recently picked up a vintage Hodaka that I can flip for double what I paid, but it’s such a cool bike I may not want to sell it.
i bought my cafe racer 1974 kawasaki 400, 2 years ago for $500 rode it for a year sold it for $1,000 it cost me $16 to register it, i took that $1,000 dollars and bought a 2005 Honda Shadow 750cc cost me $22 dollars to register it rode it for 11 months and just sold it today for $1,200
Your videos are great, and really fun to watch. I like how you take the time to explain your thought process on everything. I just finished rebuilding my KLR 650. Nice work!
Thanks! Yeah there are always deals to be found, but one thing that always gets tricky is the dmv. if you jump through all the hoops to get title it costs $$ but if you just float it and never register in your name you might not be able to sell for as much because it makes people (sometimes justifiably) suspicious.
In high school I supported my racing by buying and selling bikes. But I was 16 and didn’t pay for food or rent! Buying and selling cars and bikes for profit is a tough way to go. Btw, I’ll share my secret to selling a dirt bike to the first guy. After the bike is clean and you’re done with everything, spray the complete Bike with No Touch tire dressing. In the white can. Let it all drip off for a few hours then hit it with the yellow towels. Everything looks fresh. Tires. Plastics. Seat. Tank. Works every time... also, lacquer thinner on the white plastics removes all the discolored stains. Works on graphics too. Love your videos.
Hey man, i had a WR450F 2006 then i realised 2 stroke was just better for off road haha, awsome videos, i live in a flat so seeing you do the work keeps my need for fixing at bay haha ...needless to say im subscribed .. I am a Mechatronic engineer , so i appreciate when i see some one just thnking logically to fix a problem and not just asking the internet for answers haha
Could not tell you what it is worth but it looked like a fun project. I would start at 2000.00 and work down. You also have the rest of the parts bike to throw in too which should make the deal sweeter for the buyer. Throw in your skill set to do it right and you will get the money for the bike... Would be interested to see an update...
One thing I've learned different states prices are different. Like in Georgia a suzuki 125 4 stroke is 1k on craigslist but in Ohio u can get them for 600!
I Know, In the ATL area the prices are pretty High compared to elswhere... Just dont take your bike to some hood and let some guy test ride it... that is the forever test ride.... You will not be seeing those wheels again! = Stolen Bike!!
Yeah i have people come to me anyways when i am selling bikes i dont bring them to the buyer I have one right now that has coolant just getting every where its not supposed to be.. hopping its just a gasket
OfficialSouthSoul, I just bought a yz250f out of Boone NC for just under 500. Traded the guy an AR I had gotten for under around 400 and it cost me another 25 bucks on ebay to put a new valve in it and it runs like a new one now and I would laugh at someone if they offered anything under 2000 for it. I'm more than happy about the trade.
This video was likeable to watch. Thanks for posting. In the country i live in its very hard to find a dir tbike for 450 euro. All the time they cost 1500 with an engine that is grenaded so thats really expensive and almost impossible to make money on. I live in europe btw.
Remember how to get the bits back together is important I use the lay it all out as you strip it lay it out on a white or light coloured sheet to keep parts clean and small pieces are visible just work backwards from the parts layout take photos whenever possible and from different angles
I just saw your video now Lol when you asked how much we think to sell I came out a price in my mind of $1500 that's why I commented here Lol. You put $1500. Good video thanks.
Every time I watch one of your vids I learn at least one new trick to make life easier on top of being entertained...great vids,great channel.glad it popped up in my "recommended"
I "made" money flipping bikes for a while. If you include your labor, tools, work space, ECT in expenses your really losing money no matter what. But it is a good way to gain experience if you want to become a moto tech. I also went to school and got certified at the same time, but ultimately I think flipping bikes is what got me a job at a dealer. My job at the dealer was...evaluating trade in's, and fixing them at a cost which made the dealer money. Basically the same thing I did on my own, but I also got to pdi brand new bikes/quads/sidexsides and ride them... including kawi's h2, yamaha's newest R1, GSXR1000, STREET TRIPLE 765, CanAm X3 XRC ECT ECT ECT all before anyone had a chance to buy them. In the long run I'd say it paid off.
you already bought all of that tools and space and etc, you are only investing your free time what you would spend in front of the tv lets say, in some more useful way. if this is your primary income, then we can talk about amortization and cost of labor.
Dude, nice trick with the heat gun on those stress marks. Thanks for that.
It can make plastic brittle a few weeks later. You can do this by hand with some kind of hard sponge (I don't know the name in English) to prevent that. The YT channel "Fortnine" speaks about this in their video about restoring a tiny yellow 50cc

@@ayyjannik4305 Yes that's what I was talking about. You can generate heat throuhh friction without really sanding the plastics as well
Does the spare bike come with the price?
There's a video on UA-cam of this dude that restores old plastics and he literally makes them look like brand new it's amazing. He does it by heat and sanding and I'm sure a little buffing at the end.
This man is the bob ross of mechanics, "well they're not perfect, but neither am I."
This is the goldest thing I've read today :D
trick is find good and ship motorycle

Diesel is eating this guy's lunch.
Seriously, he must live 200 miles from anywhere.
rjk nah he probably drives a powerchoke....13 mpg's is the best we get with our empty 2016's at work
Exactly, $30 to get it registered? Even at 10mpg, that's 120 miles round trip. Diesel has been right around $2.50 in CA for the last two years.
John pike it's a Cummins.
Agreed, I drive a 1988 toyota pickup with the 22R engine and I get between 30 and 34 mpg in this thing. I only paid $1300 for it. BEST TRUCK I EVER HAD!!!!!

You have a fun personality which makes watching your videos enjoyable. Well, that and for the fact that I love fixing up dirtbikes as well.
Lol I watched this for fun, all I can say is, I need a heat gun

buy a sticker kit for 100 bucks and sell it for 2000
agreed
that's no where near a 2000 bike even with a graphics kit. not where I live at least. that bike would go for 1000 here in Texas
+oneeyedude20 it would go for 3250$ in canada

God your opening statement sounds exactly like myself every time.
“only charged me $20 for a used kickstarter” 😂😂😂
Where i live, new chinese kickstarters are like $5
You must live in the region that has kickstarter trees
You have GOT to be the only person in the world that can actually make this interesting. Great video. The 1st one I saw of you was the window AC one.
I love how entertaining and well put together your videos are. It felt like watching a movie. Definetly earned a sub from me!
Post for 2500 give a few days drop to 2300 2000 firm
If you street legal plated it and graffics kit u could of sold it for around $2700
You make a good point. Wouldn't cost that much to kit it out.
I also flip bikes. Thank you so much! Your videos are inspirational. Love ur videos. U remind me of Mr. Rogers.
Good to see how you're coming along. We have the skills necessary to be free in our own endeavors. Bless you and your family bro
5:55 That shit is purple suddenly.
This video was likeable to watch. Thanks for posting. In the country i live in its very hard to find a dir tbike for 450 euro. All the time they cost 1500 with an engine that is grenaded so thats really expensive and almost impossible to make money on. I live in europe btw.
Sample the product...test ride...probably most important part. A good way to check you've done a good job.
Just working my way through ur videos. Your skills are fantastic,and your humour is bang on man,great job,all the best from the uk
I just realized that track is prairie city. That's where I ride! Maybe I've run into at some point.
In pa those bikes go for like 2100-2500
Sounds like I should export it!
+Jennies Garage just always start higher end and let them talk you down a bit.
Into The Dirtshop For real, I can't find any good deals in PA.
For a four to five year old bike, sure. In Cali, a ten year plus bike is in the $900-1900 range.
That’s a good price
Remember how to get the bits back together is important I use the lay it all out as you strip it lay it out on a white or light coloured sheet to keep parts clean and small pieces are visible just work backwards from the parts layout take photos whenever possible and from different angles
I just saw your video now Lol when you asked how much we think to sell I came out a price in my mind of $1500 that's why I commented here Lol. You put $1500. Good video thanks.
Love your videos man
That’s all I do is buy and sell mowers, wheelers and dirt bikes. I fix them and sell them
$1500 is a good price I think, love the videos you make. I’m inspired to buy a Craigslist bike and fix it up for myself.
Every time I watch one of your vids I learn at least one new trick to make life easier on top of being entertained...great vids,great channel.glad it popped up in my "recommended"
I "made" money flipping bikes for a while. If you include your labor, tools, work space, ECT in expenses your really losing money no matter what. But it is a good way to gain experience if you want to become a moto tech. I also went to school and got certified at the same time, but ultimately I think flipping bikes is what got me a job at a dealer. My job at the dealer was...evaluating trade in's, and fixing them at a cost which made the dealer money. Basically the same thing I did on my own, but I also got to pdi brand new bikes/quads/sidexsides and ride them... including kawi's h2, yamaha's newest R1, GSXR1000, STREET TRIPLE 765, CanAm X3 XRC ECT ECT ECT all before anyone had a chance to buy them. In the long run I'd say it paid off.
you already bought all of that tools and space and etc, you are only investing your free time what you would spend in front of the tv lets say, in some more useful way. if this is your primary income, then we can talk about amortization and cost of labor.
How much did this end up selling for?
i would also like to know
Same here.. how much???
Same here
Still never got a answer
Same hear
"How do you like these boots? My brother gave them to me. Hes a size 12, Im not." Lmao. Love it.
Brilliant!
My favourite thing on you tube and I work as a night porter. (6hrs/night learning banjo and watching you tube.)
7:11 lmao you always say some funny stuff lol your the Jim Carrey of restoring bikes
Buy a cheap graphic kit, probably $50 on eBay
BOOM!! Your bike is worth $250 more and it will be more attractive to buyers
El KHALIFA Maybe to kids.
This guy is very responsible! I like his logic of buying a bike only because it's a "good financial decision".
Great repair job. I like the plastic heating, cosmetic touches and outcome.
Ahh riding Prairie City I see 😎. (I hate that dust bowl)
That's where I ride lol. Their tracks arent great but the trails are....... rideable XD
8:10 "The symptoms persist!" Lol are you a doctor?
Symptom; noun
- something that indicates the existence of something else
- a slight indication
you have to consider the time you put into it also. I'm busy, my time is worth a lot. lol
This is good stuff man, and you're commentary is hilarious. love your channel, will subscribe!
5:38 did he seriosly call the fox logo a sleepy kitty
Spencer Mcilrath ikr
lol I shrugged when he called the "not of this world" sticker a "now t" sticker.
I'm 13 and make money off bikes. Bought a rare colored 95 Yamaha Blaster 240 for $700 and I'm about to sell it for $1400.
And save my own money to buy bikes and I'm proud of it.
Keep it up!
I can tell you like making videos you put effort into it you deserve this subscribe
Those dad jokes are on point bro.
"the Sleepy kitty" lol
Well I'll be damned if that ain't prairie city/hangtown
Yeah I was thinking the same thing.
Me too
Last time I was there I ran over a snake.....big MO fuccka too
I live in Canada. Your video make me think the least amount I should pay for a bike is at least 2000CAD. Thanks for the video.
was having a bad day until watching my guy ......keep up the great work
