Modded Honda Pitbike Bogs & Won't Idle - Can We FIX It??
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- This is a 2003 Honda XR50 that had been sitting outside for an unknown length of time. It runs, but the engine dies when given throttle, and doesn't idle. In this video we hope to get it running right and take it for a ride! The XR50 is the successor of the original Z50 Monkey bike of the 1960's, and an almost identical bike to this XR50 is still being produced today as the CRF50.
Sometimes Johnny omits a few things to make a sale go more smooth!
What a guy.
No, not Johnny😂🤣
Always solid content, l ran into these guys while visiting Anaheim, they were so nice and exactly how you would expect from their personalities that show through the videos. Just good people. Wishing Happy New Year and all the best for 2024!
It was great talking to you Tyler! Thanks for saying hello. Hope you had a nice vacation, and all the best for 2024!
You lucky bugger tyler, would be totally awesome to talk to these lovely people in person, I would literally talk about motorcycles and fixing machines all day with them,I would never get bored and would be smiling all day long 🙏👍😊
@@grahamcox8385 not sure Jen would want to chat motorcycles all day😂
"It quit smoking?"
"That's tough to do, but that's the way it seems"
🤣It took a second or 2 for my brain to process that one but then I LOLed
Check the valve clearance, install a new spark plug, shine it up and sell it. Oh yeah, try to straighten out the right side foot peg mount.
I'd love to see the tiny bike get pretty. Maybe get a graphics kit for it as well
Eh, as much as a guy enjoys a nice VGG Prestoration, I think you'd best just sell it as-is. I don't see the sense in putting any more money in a little bike that's perfectly fine the way it is.
I love the days when you guys upload, been watching for years
I watch a lot of mechanic type videos, I think Jennie’s garage is my favorite. You guys make good videos and make it fun at the same time!! 🎉
YEAH JENNIES UPLOADED
I wish y’all bought haggard bikes more often! Amazing entertainment!
Love your channel thank you for making videos
Glad you enjoy the channel!
Hey guys, good to see you two again. A good tip with motorcycle grips is to use compressed air to remove or replace. Just stick the nozzle into the grip and then wind it back and forward until in position. Keep up the good work. 😊
Thst requires air
@@wobblysauce which he has, he used it cleaning the carb, remember?
@@wobblysauce If you watched the part he cleaned the Carbs you could tell that he indeed has a air compressor with a nozzle attached to it at 9:58
I will try that next time. Thanks!
@@jenniesgarage you're most welcome. 😊🖒
I have a full license and a big bike. The most fun I have is on my son's PW 80!
My first bike was a z50 monkey bike. Imagine my thrill when i found out they released a monkey 125 and bought one. I love the thing
Those look like awesome bikes! The new Trail 125 too.
Top end doesn't seem that bad. Sticker it up and be done 😊
Just needs a valve adjustment. Don't even need shims on these ones which is a plus.
Definitely don't even care what the videos are about I just click watch immediately 😂
I have the same Fastway foot pegs and I can assure you, they are quality. Mine have taken a beating on my WR250R and are still ticking strong after 5 years.
I’m not a Honda pit bike but I quit smoking recently too.
(16 weeks cold turkey)
Good job!!
After 30 years it wasn’t easy. Thanks for the encouragement
That drunk grip joke was top tier.
thats an oldddd BBR build...bet you lunch its a 110cc
Slap a Jennie's Garage sticker on the tank before ya sell it.
Save your money, sell it as is or keep it for your kid! I personally think you should keep it for your kid because all the wonderful memories it'll create. If you do sell it, sell it for $1500 or so! Those small bikes can be worth quite a bit!
Happy New year!, been waiting for a new Video. Love you two goof balls.
Happy new year!
That bike sounds super lean. Air leak, dirty pilot jet, or just bad jetting for the elevation/wrong jetting
Welcome back guys. I hope you holidays went well..
I think a top end inspection would be good thing to do and its simple process to share for this engine design. Its the right thing to do before it is sold
Amazing video. Thank you! We want more!
The "confidential" talk about the approachability of the motorcycle was very sweet. I thought it was very thoughtful how you recognize those things and see it's use rather than just an underpowered machine, and also the acknowledgement and thankfulness that you gave for your wife indulging in your hobbies and trying to make it easier and more fun for her too.
i would love to see full ''restoration'' of the bike, top end, paint or clean frame, try some tricks to cleanup the plastics etc. and some upgrades and parts to make it look nice
woot number 100!
I am confused. when was there a video about this, asking for what the name should be? I went back and looked at old videos, and i am bot seeing another video about this bike.
It was the video where we bought the 3 bikes: ua-cam.com/video/IgVmA06k2nU/v-deo.html
Did that nicotine patch help that mini too quit smoking???
Clear coat spray paint inside the grip not only lubes it up make it slide on easy, it acts as a glue when it dries. Been doing it for years and never had a grip spin
Hairspray
Top geezer..you are correct.
Also if you run out of clear coat,,any spray paint will do. Its just a bugger to clean if you spray too much....haha..✌️👍🇬🇧
Interesting idea. Thanks.
your wifes Vasque Sundowners boots are a great boot my fav hiking boot
Wow good eye on the boots! They are good quality, but she is thinking about dumping them because they are uncomfortable at the ankle.
o that's to bad ,I mostly use mine for backpacking,Hi -Tek makes a real comfy boot hardly any break in time @@jenniesgarage
Back in the day that bike was a good spec build, looks like a 88cc bbr kit.
Normally these kits run a biggger carb and a cam and larger front sprocket.
What you need is a new cam chain and adjust the valves,
Perhaps valve stem seals and a set of rings
"They used to be made in Japan now they're made in China....for better or worse"
Uh.... Im going to have to take a hard worse on that one lol.
I think it would be interesting to buy a brand new one and thoroughly compare it to my old XR.
hi from england. maybe do a full service an re build. upgrade and make it the best bike ever for which ever kid gets it. ps love the vids
Thank you for your thoughts. Glad you like the videos!
I was a bike mechanic for many years (in the Netherlands) and i've heard countless people complain about the left side tire wear, especially on bicycles and mopeds,
The reason for that is that bicycles and mopeds are supposed to ride on the right side of the road. And that part of the road is cambered for water drainage.
That could explain the left side tire wear on your bike, coupled with donuts
Great video as always and the best wishes for 2024!
I doubt this bike has done many miles on public roads...
Do a compression check. If it 'checks' out okay, just clean up the bike and enjoy it/ sell it. No need to spend time/ money on stuff it doesn't 'need'. Love your content!
Princess Bride reference nice.
What a treat. One of my favorite UA-camrs with one of my favorite bikes. Somebody put a lot of BBR money into it. KEEP IT!
Did camera girl get a new helmet?
I like the extra effort made in this video to mix the audio
I know I didn't just watch you use wire cutters to install that pilot jet. O.o
Camera girl said something similar when she saw me do that.
Man, you guys are good at this (bikes and videos). I love to watch. Please keep crankin' em out.
🎼it’s not a big motorcycle, just a groovy little motorbike🎶

thanks for reading our comments, J’sGarage…even/especially when subs comment after a 6-pack of IPAs & comment in paragraphs. I’m thrilled you two highlighted me helping to name it Bieber. though, it named/names itself.
you lovers have loving subscribers.
Love is easy to spot & impossible to fake. Thanks Again.
This is great. Since this is basically the same as a china-made Honda Trail 50 / Z50 / Monkey clone. (Skyteam, Skygo, Honlei, Jingcheng etc.) They are very popular amongst us finnish people, being the cheapest street-legal mopeds (around 1600€ and up NEW) and you can buy new fuel-injected mopeds still at dealerships. I own a 2009 Skyteam. Not to mention original Honda Z50 bikes had numerous "Finland-only" models when they were still imported in 70-90s. Get yourself a Z50 next if you can!
Your back!!!!!!!! Oh thank god! Ive been having crazy withdrawls! Cold sweats and agitated! Lemme kiss ya! Just once for ol time sake!
I hope Yall had a Merry Christmas and New Year Holiday, and wish Yall a great New Year
Happy 2024!!
Easy enough fix there, just the title alone said it'd be a clogged carb, everything else, well, it's a Honda, it just works... :P
Love your mississ dude. Very clever cookie. ✌️👍🇬🇧
Yep, Miss Jennie is a doll. Jake’s got himself a rare gem right there.
20:13 And you can tell immediately by putting enough air that is expands and sinking it under water. If you see bubbles, there is a leak. Quick way to test for holes and takes about 15 minutes to dry in the sun if you want to limit the amount of water that gets inside the tire.
I did save essentially very dead clone pitbike from scrapper couple years ago, rebuilt lots of it, fixed what could and modified parts from parts laying around like longer better seat and making it look unique with Kawasaki fearings, installing lights, little paint etc. Its cool little bike with enough torque for me to get around. Reliability of the 110cc china clone aint the best even as stock, but to drive around the yard and near forest its lots of fun and the size makes it really nice even shorter guy like my self, having ability to put feet down on the ground is god send.
For this one, go trough the engine, fix her up to reliable machine, maybe swap bigger rims, i have 14 inc on mine and thinking on getting even bigger ones for better ground clearance and to get over fallen trees etc easier with sturdier rear shock.. the current scooter shock is bit weak even for a child.
Happy new. The bike might have been smoking from being tilted. That might why it smoked when you first got it and when you took it for a test drive.
I was thinking something similar, like maybe oil got in the cylinder from transporting it. But then again I think if the rings are good they should be able to seal well enough to not let that happen. Possible though. I haven't decided if I want to take it apart and investigate. Happy 2024!
New engines always smoke a little till the rings seat into the cylinder wall. Check the compression and that will tell you how much blow by or if the valves are seating then go from there. Might adjust the valves and see if that helps with the tapping noises. No smoke tell me that the valve guides are ok too. Nice kids toy though.
Nice video tutorial guys, nice puns thou.That reaction from camera girl whilst riding, is a satisfying successful project. Great job guys🎉..
Very likely it's smoking because the valve stem seals are shot and the head needs to be rebuilt. Easy job and fun.
You guys add some calmness to a very difficult time in my life
Not going to bore you with the details…thanks for what you do…and keep them coming……👍
If you are talking about fixing up the engine,,, then just but the Chinese 140 cc and it bolts straight in and costs less than $200 . Goto cars and cameras for the correct information guys...✌️👍🇬🇧
Sounds like a dirty carburator jets problem, probably partially clogged since when you accellerate faster it dies over, probably not enough fuel
I would love to see you two build a 50cc 2stroke scooter from a non runnin turdscooter if there are any in your area😂😂
All the aftermarket parts look quality, people love pit bikes so good deal. Man, latley gas goes sour so fast. I am debating just draining regularly but i already have cans of bad gas i need to recycle. Tried recycling it in to the mower, now that needs a carb clean. Haha
Always nice to keep one of those Honda 50's in your back pocket just for fun. BTW, do ya know anybody that might wanna part with a red camper shell for a reasonable price?
If you use marvel mystery oil in gas you will never have a carberator or top end problem. Check it out. I have a 40 yr old lawnmower and it starts on the third pull every time. A guy used it in the crankcase too. He had to get rid of the Murcury Capri car at 240k because the body rusted away from the frame.
Its the air filter. Its to open. Same stuff on my scooter. Try restrict the air inlet from filter a tad and voila!!
You should really pull those handlebars back till they match the forks angle. Should be about center of bar mounts. And should really only be adjusted a half inch in either direction.
The way they are now is making your steering real sensitive or jerky. But probably can't run the bars center because of small bike big Rider but I would out back as closet as ya can. Camera girl will be alot less sketchy on it .
My pit bike is a Suzuki ds80 2 stroke I call it my 2SmokerJoker its a 5 speed with clutch and the thing is stupid fast for a 80 I've had it up to 55
Hello i love these quick fixes dirtbike can u make a video on an yz85 or 125 2 storke i would love it sins CALEB JR the first
These things are highly sought after from them wheelie boys. Maybe check valve clearance, throw in a new plug and spray some good ol' SC1 on there and she should fetch a pretty penny.
When you did a cold start on it the first time and it smoked was it after it was unloaded from the truck? Just curious if the ride up and unloading it had oil moving around a lot more so it smoked the first cold start. That would possibly explain why it didn't smoke the second time if it wasn't started right after unload.
I’ve had lots of those small Honda dirt bikes, a 50, 70, a 200 and they all are a little rattly and puff random smoke every once in a while
Adjust the valves...seems clattery. Nice work
Thanks, I took off the covers and felt them by hand and they didn't seem too loose. Not the most accurate method though!
A little bit of cold start smoke is quite normal if there is condensation in the exhaust. Especially if it goes away after warming up.
Oh my gawd!! A Jennies garage!! My new year can now begin. Also, thanks for 12 years of videos 😊
Use compresses air to put the grips on. Trust me. Watch a UA-cam video on it. You'll never go back.
You should give it the works before selling it. This bike will make someone's kid very happy.
I would think maybe a piston ring if needed and maybe a clean up and some paint. It’s up too you really because it seems to run nice now, maybe straighten the foot pegs a bit
New front tire, oem red Honda plastics/graphics, new seat, engine refresh. Then decide if you want to sell!
Great video! I vote for a new top end, just because we all get to enjoy another video. Otherwise keep it stock and sell it. 🏍️🎊
Man those little bikes sell for a premium in my area, that ones value was defiantly ruined, would be nice to see turned back into a kids bike.
whats the most you would pay for, stock restored? or Highly modified?
I learnt on a JR50, then PW80 when i was 5 years old to 12. Then only moved up from there.
These Bikes Are Extremely Fun, My Friend had 1 And We Rode That Thing Hard Everyday. I Also Would Like to Say, I Was Watching Another UA-cam Channel, There Is A Guy, His Name Is Tom And You Guys Look Like You Could be Brothers. Camera Girl Did A great Job Riding Bieber.
Thanks for the compliment on Camera Girl's riding. These little bikes are fun.
I think you should refurbish it completely, would be interesting to watch!
Wishing you both a beautiful 2024 New Year! Peace and Love!
Replace the valve seats and piston rings before you sell it. I've always wondered how replace valve seats
Use it as a teaching aid for your son, let him help with the work,ie top end and tyre change.let him paint it. He will love it
I was shocked to still see the “made in Japan” stamping on the carburetor. Based on how modified the bike was, I anticipated an aftermarket Chinese carburetor.
Brown Brothers Racing. In the case you didn't know.🤷🏽♂
If your son doesnt want it, sell it as is. But definitely let him take a crack at it.
You should paint it PINK... and cash in on all the rage Barbie theme 😆
Holy shit. This is the first notification I've received from you guys in a year!
carburetor orrifiicicices xD didn't expect it, cracked me up thank you :)
Always check the ohms resistance on the reticulated mass air resonator when you have these sorts of glitches.
dude those forks are worth some money that bike has some really good parts on it i would fix it and keep it bro
I say for video content you do a top end. Then i'd do some beutificatiin on it. Then sell it.
4:49 i suspect blocked or incorrectly adjusted low speed or idle carburettor jet(s)
LUV u Guys
blink and you'll miss it Andre the Giant reference!! lol.
I died when you used the wire cutters to hold the brass jet lol Atleast use pliers my guy
I'd suggest a top end, just so your son doesn't have any downtime enjoying it
Man I missed you guys it’s been a while since you showed up on my fyp
There is definitely some money in that little bike bbr isnt cheap stuff
