I don't have any patience for tube tire changing....I hated it with bicycles as a kid...lol.
The most valuable thing I learned from your channel is the simplicity of those little engines, and how cheap they are to repair.
Nice work. 👍
Thanks! Glad to hear you like the content and yeah 100% they are cheap and an easy way to pick up small engine repair skills.
The tubes happen to the best of us...also my hat goes off to you pb you have a lot patients I really enjoy how you really take these bikes and quads apart down to the bare bone and build them back better than factory 😎🖒✊
Thanks brother! I appreciate your continued support! SMH on those tubes man, they about killed me!
deaunte love I agree
Yo that’s legit, I need to restore my $50 pit bike!
Nasty Moto Do it man! It’s a blast!
Praska Boy's Garage I’m planning on it, just gotta get the funds lol
@anonymous whys that?
I really appreciate how you know how to talk dirtbike....
The builds just get better each time
Thank You!
Dude, that pit bike looked great before you restored it, though when it was done. It looked absolutely amazing. Keep it up my dude!
Valium YT Thanks man, will do!
Omg PB it's about time!! (respectfully said) I have been having massive withdrawal from not seeing anything new from you in ages!
Lol! Man this one the struggle was real, but we made it!!! I promise you won't wait as long for the next one :)
Restoring bikes is so fun and can earn u money I was raised in the garage and I saved money till I was 12 then I bought a mess of a ttr125 and I myself went thru it and fixed it up and on December 28th I ended up trading it for a fully built kx125 which is worth way more and fits me better seeing how I’m 16 now
Love it man! I got started with a box of parts from a 49cc pocket rocket. Put it together together and never looked back. Good luck on your future projects brother!
Just a quick tip if you ever do tires on a bike again use dish soap on the bead. It’s night and day so much easier with the soap.
Great tip! Thank you!
I find that if you put the tube in the tire first and fill it with just enough air to keep it round but not full I pop way less tires. Also the counter mount tire changer from harbor freight is fantastic!!!!!!
Also you do an AMAZING job on these Chinese bikes! They are my favorite. Cheap and easy(most of the time) to work on!
Jonathan Roberts Thanks man! Usually I’ll edit the video of me getting it done the first time, but with the tubes I felt like sharing my pain might show some viewers these projects aren’t so easy and even guys that have been at it for years still struggle sometimes!
I like the quote that the video ended with. Don’t get me wrong the video is cool. I have 3 ssr’s i am rebuilding. We’ll one almost done, one kinda finished as we got plastics today and then one down to a frame. We got a tao Tao also 110cc. Some goof ball put wrong spark plug in it locked it up. That one is a complete rebuild . I have to get a back swing arm, tank and odds and ends for the 3rd ssr. The video was cool glad i took the time to watch start to finished. Great content. Bike came out looking sweet!
I commend your level of patience
Lol, thank you!
I live about 20 minutes from rim right and didn't even know it was there.. I have been looking for a powder coater.. Thanks for the video..
That's awesome! Dan and the team do great work, and I have been using them for years now. He has rebranded and the shop is called Right Now Power Coating. He also has a UA-cam channel, so if you into powder coating videos you should check him out.
@@PraskaBoysGarage I will do that.. I'm working on a chinese atv now for my nephew. I'm putting a 212 predator motor in it.. I enjoy watching your channel..
pro life tip, when using tubes put a tiny amount of air in them first, will keep from twisting and causing hot spots to pop
I’m doing this with a 2007 Baja dirt runner 90 right now, sending the frame off to be sandblasted and powdercoated in the meantime I’m going to rebuild the top end , previous owner suspected blown rings
She's a little beauty , great job !
Thank You!!!
Hot tip soo u don't punched tubes when installing them again use hot soapy water it makes the tyre alot easier to get on and off the it makes the tire a bit softer and the soap lubricates the tire. The tube put about 10psi in it it stops u from pinching your tube and using hot soapy water makes the tire soft and lubricates the tire for easy installing no screw drives needed to put the tire over the bead
Just push down hard on the tire and just be careful the tube doesn't get stuck under the tire
Thanks for the advise!
Im currently doing one rn well slowly i am while doing my sons 4 wheeler an alsp while messing with my eletric an nitro rc i love anything with a motor man
I am right there with you man! Anything small engines is what I'm into!
On the video that you got the Chinese 125cc and restored it! That helps me so much cause I’ve had one but it’s been sitting and I had no clue where to start but now I feel confident I can get it running again no problem and if I have issues I know where to come back too! Love the vids man keep it up!
Brayden Martel Thanks brother! Good luck on your project and if you run into any issues don’t be afraid to ask! Here to help any way I can 😉
Great build, love the fact you kept it real and showed us the difficulties you ran into and the solutions! inspiring….
I use bicycle tube from Walmart the one with the lime inside...just into new ones comed in the mail...and they work good
Good deal! Glad it worked out
That bike is sick!
SpyroPyro Thanks!
Nice I’m looking myself for one to build up and ride with my son and his 125 ssr good work
Do it man! This one was a blast!
Once you put the new tube in, inflate it a little so it spreads outwards nicely away from the rim. And use a lot of lubrication. WD or similar.
You have the perfect sized shop!
Thanks, I actually think I'm starting to outgrow it. I really want to buy metal working tools but just have no place for them. Maybe someday, but for now I am very happy with what I have! Thanks for watching!
Amazing video
Thank You!
Thank you thank you PB. Finally got back home and had time to watch it. Very informative as always. Can't think of a better way to relax after a long day. :)
Love it! Thank you for the support, I appreciate it!
awesome job I would highly recommend tucking that brake cable away to a safer routing location.
Can’t Believe you popped so many tubes I mean it’s still a great video
Neither can I... I thought about editing it out and making it a smooth transition but it's a good lesson that sometimes even the simple things can be a struggle! Thanks for watching!
Little tip if you pinch your tube when installing it, instead of buying a new one get a bicycle tire patch and it will work great
Thanks, I think frustration got the better of me that day! I will remember that for next time!
When you found out the inner was punctured I felt that. I hate when that happens
I almost let it defeat me that day in the shop! Im glad I pushed threw it!
I just found your channel and although you dont have alot of subscribers dont let that discourage you we all love the content man thank you
Thank you so much!!
I'm soo excited I made a purchase today i bought a 05 Honda trx 450r and my o my I should have done it sooner
Those are nice quads man! We had a TRX 250X before and we ripped that thing a lot!
Nice i love how u show the ups an downs, nothing always goes as planned, I like how ur creative an go with the flow, nice work
Thanks dude! I appreciate your feedback!
Next time, use some soap and water while mounting your tires, plus add a bit of air to the tubes. Excellent video!!!
I know time laps hides a lot of the details but I'll tell you, if I put any more soap and water on that thing I would have started a pond! I was using everything I had. The tires were pretty hard so I'm assuming they had some shelf time to them!
@@PraskaBoysGarage LOL, nice!! Maybe you were just unlucky. It has been years since I pinched one. A couple of nice spoons and a bead buddy help too. Anyway, loved the video, and thank God for Amazon.
Omg dude, I love ur channel. I’m buying a Chinese dirtbike and wanting to do a rebuild. I’m only 14 so I’m hoping to do a lot more than just this one build. I’m inspired by u. Keep up the good work!!!
Thanks man! Good luck on your project and let me know if you have any questions!
Thank u so much for taking the time to respond. The bike is a Baja dr 70. I plan to completely redo everything on it, I don’t have any questions right now but I prob will. Again thanks so much for responding. Stay healthy and keep up the good work!!👌
Bout time I find a good pit bike video. Nice bike
Thank you!!! Glad you liked it!
Awesome job.
Thanks!
I wish you were my next door neighbor! I would invite you over for bbq's and try to trick you into helping me with my chinese quads. Lol
Thanks for the videos!
Man, I tell you I'm a sucker for some good bbq! I'd probably start breaking your stuff on purpose so I'd have an excuse to come over!
@@PraskaBoysGarage 🤣🤣🤣
Just found your channel and i love it. i could feel the frustration when you found out that tube was popped. been through that process with my dad back in the day! i also have a pitster pro 140 with an oil cooler, you inspired me to go get it out of the storage unit!
Glad you found it and have enjoyed the content so far! Absolutely you need to get that 140 out! The perfect riding weather is right around the corner!
Awesome Job right there
Petrus Määttä Thank you!
Try less air in the tube when installing and use dawn dish soap as a lubricant between the tire and rim
Enjoying your channel. I like your shop setup. I appreciate that you complete your projects on one video.
I'm glad you like it! I built the shop almost 3 years ago with the intent to work on power sports. Has been good to me so far!
Great Job
Thank you!
Yo you are a AMAZING Mechanic!! Keep up the good WORK AND YOU WILL BE ON TOP! BTW YOUR VIDS ARE AMAZING!!
Twitter Thank you so much! I appreciate your support!
Good job buddy! But i noticed you had a couple Japanese atvs in the back round lol. Thanks for the content 🙏
Hey thanks Leonard! Yes, we have a little bit of everything. The boys daily ride their Raptor80 and a RZR170. Basically if it's motorized and made for Youth riders I work on it!
You’ve done a really great job on this build
Thank you so much!
That’s a nice little shop you got there
Appreciate that! My flashback on snapchat has videos of me building it 3 years ago already!
Liked your video, I’m well aware this an older video and I’m sure it’s been said already but I think the spacer is a round aluminum/steel tube roughly an inch long or smaller that goes to the left of the brake caliper, thus putting the caliper up against the frame when you tighten the rear nut. Hope this helps next time.
You got my interest from the moment the engine is looking straight not up
What a legend for replying to every comment after a year
Thanks dude! I don't have other forms of social media so I want to make sure I connect with everyone on UA-cam. Eventually I hope to have so many comments I can't keep up, but until then I'll be here!
You should try to put a little bit of air into the tube before you put the bead back onto the rim that way the tub isnt just laying down flat and twistred and shit just what i learned one day giving blood to the knuckle gods
Lol, yeah I think I tired a little bit of everything! It just wasn't my luck that day.
Seriously boss paint scheme.
Awesome fricking job!! Looks great and thanks for posting and can't wait for another quad vid! ; )
Al Southern Thank you! I’ve got 1 more project coming and then it’s back to the atvs!
i just got into riding and bought a lil 125cc and man ive popped like 10 tubes! hahahaha i feel your frustration
Tell me about it, the struggle is real! Trust me, if this wasn't a DIY channel I would have paid someone!
Hello I'm from the UK, Currently looking into Buying a stomp 125 pit bike off my friend but it's basically brand new, may start buying cheap projects in the new year to flip
Do it! The parts are cheap and they are easy to work on!
So amazing just bought a chine atv road legal needed some work and learning while I watch! Loving all of the videos! Keep it up!!
Thank you! Good luck on your project!
great video! I ended up watching the whole thing.
BigBrotherFrank That’s awesome, thanks brother!
Great video really enjoyed watching 👀 I've learnt alot from watching this thanks ever so much for sharing 👍I'll be watching more of your channels to learn even more on projects thanks alot pal 😉👍👌
also when you put inner tubes and tires on rims use fairy liquid in hot water it makes it so the tire and tube go in easier
Thanks for the advise! I've never used that method before so I will have to give it a try!
Need to see u ride these projects
Dude..i'm so glad i subbed your channel..freekng learning while i'm entertained..digging how you knock out every obsticale that blocks your goal to complete this build...color scheme is awsome...
Santiago Elias Thank you so much! I appreciate the feedback! Glad you like the channel!
Such a talented guy I wish I can I do my bike like that
Thank you!
You can, time, patience, paint and accessories and your own creativity.
@praskaboygarage heat up the tire in the oven and it slips on, only telling you that because I really like your channel and hope that helps
Thanks! I don't think my wife will approve, however if I get an oven for powder coating I could use that.
Wow you’re good, my idea of a restoration involves air in tires along with a hose down 😳
Lol, thank you!
Good looking bike I dig the graphics
Turned out pretty good! They haven't held up over time but that just gives me an excuse to do them again.
Right on did they fade out or peel off?
I have a taotao 125 db17 that I'm rebuilding and it is a beast cool bike I subscribed to your channel, your videos give me some sick ideas for my bike keep up this sick work
Right on! Make sure to vote on the poll I posted yesterday! Thanks!
Dude you're insane I revive old hondas from the dead but their cake compared to what you go through👍
Ever a Honda Trail50? Those things are awesome!
No mainly ATCs I love my 1983 atc70 its fast as is and I'm debating on putting my Lifan 125 crate engine in it.
@@casonbaumgartner8189 I had an ATC 110 in my storage shed for years and never touched it. Eventually sold it to make room but I hope to restore one someday!
I barely comment on videos but this video is well put together and i really enjoyed it, well-done man keep up the good work 👍.
SMK_ADLAY Thank you very much! I appreciate the support!!!
This takes a lot of time and effort
This work is art man👍
I appreciate that! Thank You!
@@PraskaBoysGarage 👍
Thatz a guud 1 niccee jobb bro
Thanks!
Thank you 🙏
Shouldda polished the crankcase . Would have looked badass.
I just ordered a mikuni carburetor for it last week! That would look nice!
Good frame work but I wish you would of done an engine rebuild, that's what I'm doing on my bike. But good job man
Thanks! I'm currently looking for a motor that is in need of a rebuild for the channel! Are you doing a top end or bottom end rebuild?
Good video !!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Keep it up brother
Thanks man!
This was a great video just like the rest of yours. Glad I found your Channel. You have inspired me to find a project bike and do the same. Thanks man and keep up the awesome content
scott smith Thanks brother! I appreciate the support!
Great vid
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
I love this
Thank you!
Dude I just wanna tell you your videos are really good. Really informative really smooth transitions just all around quality video style. And your rebuilds of the bikes are just great. I just found your videos yesterday and subscribed immediately you were at 1.6k and now you’re at 2.2ish and growing. Keep up the quality videos and have fun on the grow spurt you’re about to go through lol.
Thanks man! This video has blown my expectations already, I appreciate your support! Thanks for the sub!
Amazing Work!!
Alex HD Thanks brother!
I haven't watched this video yet but I know allready that its really good ! :)
It's my favorite so far! Was a lot of fun, I hope its worth the wait!
@@PraskaBoysGarage yeah, this was amazing!
the spacer for the back wheel goes in between the tire and brake hub. hope that helps
Thanks!
Braaa thts raw asf
OGxB Aim Thanks brother!
The valve core on tubes. are loose the dust cap has built in tool for it

Michael Blackler Thank you brother! 🙏
Reminds me of the 90s GT Dyno
Nice work
Thank you!
thank you
U gotta let ur boy ride it man
33gang_hightech Xboxgang My oldest doesn’t now how to use a clutch yet but next spring he will definitely get some practice in!
I have this exact pitbike I'm currently restoring
That's awesome! Good luck on your project!
Me and my friends just got one for free but we need to get a carb a spark plug and sum hardware and a fuel pump and lines and I think it might run it’s a dirt project so I hope we can get it running and drive ong it’s the semi auto model
Awesome man! Good luck on your project, sounds like fun!
@@PraskaBoysGarage thank you and thanx for not just talkin crazy that about my framed bc I just reread this and I can’t lie it was probably my auto correct like when I said dirt I meant to say first
See I meant to sa grammer not framer
Use adhesion promoter on the paint and plastic before you put double sided tape on
Thanks for the tip!
Dont mean to sound like a know it all I work at a collision center and I use alot of double side and we have 3m adhesion promoter pads we also have spray cans but the little pads are good for wiping...and man its night and day on how good it will stick put a little on your finger let it dry and just press down on some double side almost pulls skin off lol digging your vids tho man we kinda the same only I dobt make videos
Super dope 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Thank You!
Tubes on bike r the singally most frustrating thing to tamper with
Agreed! I'd rather do literally anything else! So frustrating!
Hey man awesome rebuild, If possible could you try and rebuild an Apollo Orion 110cc pitbike?.
100% that's my plan! This build has done so well for my channel I've been looking for a 110 pit bike ever since I finished it! Once I find one to rebuild it will be the top priority for the channel! Hoping to have one done for spring!
@@PraskaBoysGarage Yeah i actually have a apollo orion pitbike 110cc I have taken the plastics and other stuff off as it was all cracked and the fuel tank broke, And i also bent my handle bars so i am getting new ones on ebay. Try looking on Facebook.
Randsome Gaming Good luck on your project! I’ll post to the channel page if I get one to let everyone know they plan!
@@PraskaBoysGarage Dope man. Goodluck even if you find a 125cc my 110cc has a 125cc carburetor in it so i was told.
yay i was waiting for this one !
Most shop hours on a project to date! Worth it!
Nice amezing
Thank You!!
Those tubes would have been so annoying. I'm fixing my ds80 trail bike and ended up sending it to a tire man😡
The struggle was real on this one! Could have edited it out, but I felt it was important for everyone to see that we all have a difficult time even at the simplest tasks that we have done 1,000 times!
Looks good but two things killed me the powder coat on the spokes made it look cheap and the revving it while it's on choke without letting it just warm up. Lol good job tho I'm in the middle of a rebuild/refresh on my DR-Z400 supermoto. But I'm looking at buy one of these for my daughter are all the parts easy to source?
I appreciate the feedback. The spokes were defiantly an over site on my part, mostly from an adjustable point. Cosmetically speaking everyone has the own opinions. Right call on rolling the throttle. I was a bit excited since the project took so long to get to that part! When it comes to parts they are all pretty universal for the 125cc bikes. I've used VMC for years on parts, but also eBay and Amazon carry almost everything you need as well.
