Rebuilding this same exact bike as well and i get on UA-cam to see if anyone else has done it and boom here you are doing it professionally and i couldn’t have been luckier! thanks for the content man love these videos.
Thanks for the great feedback Logan! I also post pictures during the week to my Instagram account. There's a link on my main channel page in the channel header!
They are much cheaper than the damage I saw when my brother tried to make spring's the same way. The advancer exploded throwing pieces of it and the head all over our garage. Very lucky neither of us was hurt.
hi! do you know if its ok that the magnet has a little front-back play? its not actually the magnet but the crankshaft bearing, or the crankshaft itself, im not really sure, if its a problem, could this be solved without unmounting the engine? like tightening some bolt from the other side maybe? thanks!
Unfortunately I don't believe this is something you can fix unless you take the top end of the motor apart and give it a proper inspection. There really isn't a lot to it, and it will extend the life of your motor if there is something major wrong inside.
Bro, Dude, can you share with us how much adjustment you did to the intake valve and how much to the exhaust valve? and if you can also send us the electrical diagram it would be a complete success I would be very grateful 🙏🏻
I’m just trying to get my motor to run but I need to reset the timing chain. Can I just pull the clutch off or do I have to take the bolts off? I don’t really see how they’re holding it in place.
You shouldn't have to pull your clutch to adjust timing. The timing chain and all that is on the other side of the motor. You could just pull the cam chain sprocket cover on the head and adjust there; take the sprocket off the cam, let it down loose enough to turn the chain without turning the sprocket. You could do something similar down bottom but you'd have to pull the flywheel.
We are starting restoration of a ‘77 and found this when cruising UA-cam.. first thing I noticed… He’s a NEWF! We are everywhere! Have you got any spareXL125 parts? Maybe we can do business Love your channel We’ve just about finished our CX500 build too
hello, i have such a problem, i have a Honda xl 125 RPD 1986 and years ago I changed the piston with the cylinder on it but it didn't start because for some reason it didn't throw a spark but now it works again because it was done a bit and I don't know how to do the wiring. I have the letters I, F, T on the handle and I have no absolute idea of how it should be, because it is possible that the cam is the other way around
What exactly touches the tip of the neutral safety switch that grounds it out? I'm not getting the light on, but the switch does work. I'm thinking I have something not right inside
If I recall correctly, it should contact the end of the shifter drum. I never really did anything with the one on my bike, but if you look at this video by Shane Conley, it should help out some! ua-cam.com/video/J3ZzhgByTkg/v-deo.html
Here's a link to the transmission in the bike, it shows the shift drum as well so you can see where it contacts in the transmission: www.cmsnl.com/honda-xl125s-1981-b-canadakph_model20113/partslist/E__1400.html#.YK1J3KhKiHs
I figured it out over the weekend, that copper ring is what makes the contact. There is a tab bent down that sits in a hole so it turns with the shift drum. My tab was flattened out and not in the hole so the ring wasn't turning lol my bad. On another note, thanks alot for these videos, they got me through alot of shit on my 1986 185 xl

sir how many is the teeth of the timing hear, the top and the bottom gear? because i have xl 125, but the timing gear is damage😟 where can i buy it through online? im from philippines thank you!
Hi Lenon! You can look up the parts for you bike on the following site, they list all the parts for all different brands of motorcycles with exploded parts diagrams. You can get the original part numbers from the listings and then search those part numbers on ebay or Google and get lots of results! www.cmsnl.com
Hey Javier! I am not sure off hand. Your best bet would be to check a site like www.cmsnl.com and see if the part number for the head from an XL is an exchangeable part number with the NX125!
Keep in mind that the motor in my bike is a 1980 XL185s motor. I just searched "80 xl185 gasket kit" on eBay and found this: www.ebay.ca/itm/323607109203
Is it okay to set the valve clearance to the same values? I tought that there’s always a bigger clearance on the exhaust valve. The only data i could find for my 1985 xl 125r is 0.05mm (0.002 in) for each valves and i didn’t set them yet because i was scared if it will be a too little clearance on the exhaust valve and it screws everything up.
Those are the factory settings! You can see it in one of the early videos in this series when I'm holding the book up. It's 2 thou (0.05mm) for both valves! Set it and forget it! You'll be good!
Hello, what is the name of the cylinder you polished the engine, can you buy it on Amazon, I can buy it, I am Chinese, I like your channel very much, hope you can reply me

I don't think it is possible to install the cam the other way around as you would not be able to install the timing chain gear on the cam.

I think this guy used to skate. The way he put some tape is like putting grip tape on the deck.
More of a mountain biker back in the day, but I did grip tape my fair share of skateboards too! I can even still do a kickflip!
