      @@thebigguy8306 haha, I’m not shitting on him, it just drives me nuts, my dad was a motorcycle mechanic, plane, diesel, and he’s got OCD, so he’s just instilled in me not to throw parts at stuff like that. Joe does a good job, and makes great content. I’m not sitting here saying I’m a better wrench. To pump out the videos at the rate he does , there’s a chance it’s not worth the time properly diagnosing and better to make another video installing new parts. Nobody wants to what you sift through a wire loom for a loom and use a multimeter. Which in that case, genius. 🤣

    Your video are extremely helpful and I have learned heaps from your journey.
    I would never have guessed the magnets on the flywheel were the issue.
    I will certainly look for that one in future if all the std electrical stuff checks out.
    One tip. use contact cleaner on all the connectors and a dab of Di-electrical grease particularly on the stator plugs and the plugs on the front down tube as those are always getting covered in Mud and get wet when riding in wet conditions.

    Wicked good job joe!! I’ve got an 01 cr125R that I bought with the motor out because someone broke a case half trying to split it with a flathead screwdriver lol. I’ve bought all the replacement parts but I have a hard time assembling stuff that I didn’t disassemble myself. I’d be more that happy to send you my motor and pay u to make a video of putting it back together. It’d need a new piston, and most likely cylinder, which is gladly order for you too. I believe the crank is good, absolutely no up and down play.
    It’d be awesome to have ur help but I’d understand if I didn’t want to. Either way, love watching u grow!!

    That was an amazing repair on the YZ! I was wondering if the magnets on these things get weak, because they do on the magnetos of antique tractors and engines. The type on antique engines can actually be recharged with a powerful electromagnet. Anyway, it was an interesting diagnosis, and the work you did in the other fellow's bike was a very nice gesture!

    those older four strokes have a special starting procedure. Im sure you can find it on a forum somewhere. Its something like give the throttle a couple pumps and then put your hand on the handlebar away from the throttle so you arent inclined to twist it and then get the piston just past top dead center and kick. This may help getting it started easier. Im not sure if that is the exact sequence but I'm sure you can find someone that knows more about it. My 04 crf250r worked best with that one.

    You kicked that bike over a million times expecting something different everytime. Time to start thinking more. The broken lever is a prime example of it.
    That guy that picked up the 10,000 bike - no comment necessary.

    Could the marks on the stater be from chain rub on the back? Not being able to see it clearly hinders my perspective but that’s my assessment

    terrible design, the kicker keeps slamming into the foot peg, gotta pray the devil off that bike !!

      @Mikehoncho191 Рік тому +2

      Older bikes did that to deadhead the kicker otherwise it would put a lot of stress into the kicker mechanism

    Awesome work brotha. Can’t believe the kick start snapped. Your leg is made of steel haha. Looking forward the then next video. Side note. My bike cost me 8100 bucks. So I think 10k ain’t bad considering all the after market parts he has.

    Before doing an ohm test you need to check the resistance of you're test leads and subtract it from you're reading of the component you're testing! I'm watching, rooting for you!! I'm at around 7 and1/2 mins in on the video

      Not for the readings he is getting. If he was trying to find 4 or 5 ohms, than yes, his leads would be making a significant contribution.

    Using the big drill to spin the engine - with sparkplug OUT, of course - is an excellent way to be absolutely sure if you have spark or not.

    Is it the timing chain rubbing on the back of the stator plate?

  • @TroyRosenbaugh

    We knew it had to be electrical, but omg, crazy fix. I hate electrical issues. That just needs broke in and it's good. I think all 3 failed.

    Match wire plugs before you order it. Had guys bring stuff in convinced their stators were shot. Cleaned up magneto and coils. They started working fine. All with required readings.

    word of advice.. if it is spray paint, just use some solvent to wipe the paint off. dont scratch it off with something metal.
    The magnets coming out.. i had the same issue on my 2006 Arctic cat 400 4x4.. the magnets were glued in, so the glue came undone, and then a magnet came out of it, previous to me getting it, and i saw that i had spark sometimes, and not at other times. i bought an after market flywheel, with the magnets as one piece. replaced it, and now it charges, and runs and everything is great.
    I bet the magnet is not spinning, and or grounding out.
    the worn spot on the back of the stator is from the timing chain.

    I had the same exact experience a few years back. I bought a rm250 and literally went threw all the same things you did new top end carb gone through and after I did everything it decided to finally loose all spark. Well after replacing everything in ignition system I replaced the flywheel and that was it. Mine didn't show any signs of damage but it was bad and worked after I replaced it. Always through it was a bit of a myth flywheels loosing there magnetism but nope mine looked to be in perfect shape and still would stick a screw driver but somehow was bad

    I feel ya Joe...just got it running and kick shaft broke. Had same thing happen years ago but instead it was a Mojave and the shifter shaft. Except you used far less 4 lettered * words. Also 10k dude 😎 as hell and you also for fixing it. He even airated your yard for spring growing in appreciation. I DIG it! Lol. Bad dad joke.

    You should never have to kick over a bike that violently to get it to start. give it a few slow prime kicks, find TDC and give it a firm kick accelerating all the way through the stroke. If you can't get it going that way then kicking harder and harder isn't going to help. Try keeping your butt on the seat when you kick it over so your not putting unnecessary stress on the kick starter. Hope you can get it moving next vid!

      I actually agree with that except its almost therapeutic to just crank on an engine Like a madman

  • @gtisid
    @gtisid Рік тому

    Thats really good of you. had an aprilia flywheel with broken magnets. think its a consequence of bad bottom end bearings and the crank not running true and eventually things on stator start getting clattered. had me puzzled for weeks where i also learnt about the broken magnets becoming two separate magnets that also halves the amount of energy they generate apparently.....should of studied harder a physics but good to know for the future
