Does that not excite you when it runs it gets me so excited
@@matthewsizemore3701 yes it does!
@@2vintage okay well anyway good job things like that you bring back to life are amazing
Nice work done man keep it up love the vids but I dont like watching dirt bike vids all the time try to change it up
I didn’t think it was gonna start n low n behold it fired up good job
Pro tip when bump starting, run alot faster than that and jump on the bike when u dump the clutch
Do this
Definitely do this.
2 vintage is the pro not you
It’s a lot not alot and it’s not u it’s you
And put it into second or third gear....
My dad had that bike when I was 11. I used to hill climb on it. We'd ride 2 up to the trails and he'd watch me hill climb until it fouled one cylinder then we'd ride it home. Lots of memories there for me as both the bike and my dad are long gone.
I’m 14 min in and realized you are still breaking your back even though you cleared off the work bench so you could work on things without bending down to work. Use the bench brother!!! LOL!! Keep the vids coming!!
Great video! Took me way back in time. 1st step......Power wash, or at least spray most of the dirt off with a hose. You don't want dirt/sand getting pulled into the engine when you start it.
Yes and I bet ther is plenty of rat piss and shit in that filth! Having been in a barn 17 years, I don't understand why you would work on it like that.?
My first motorcycle was a Yamaha YDS2. 250cc with the 5 speed trans. I paid $125 for it in 1964 with a stripped spark plug in one cylinder. Took it off and down to the local Harley mechanic and he hellicoiled the plug hole for 4 or 5 dollars. Reassembled with no new gaskets and it ran great. 12000 rpm in 1st gear. A great fast lite bike in its day. Thanks for the memories.
I thought the videos you took a job I'm only 12 years old and you inspire me to do good things in life
I never really thought these bikes were cool until you started working on them lol. Keep working hard and don’t let the haters bring you down.
and boy the haters are real on this channel, surprises me
Have you considered that the "haters" are just older guys, who love to see younger fellas get into motorcycle restoration, and are just trying to give the benefit of their experience?
Did you consider that possibility?
🤔😉
His channel,his motorcycles,his money. He will learn.
Ultimately he is trying to make money out of this. It is clear he does not have a clue about anything he does. I am no expert and would not dream of putting out the crap that this individual does.Funny how he tries to work with the most basic of tools.
Run those carbs through ultra sonic for a good cycle then clean em up.make huge difference I bet.😮
That bike was an absolute steal. Good for you man. All the chrome is perfect on it too which is unheard of.
Run a small cut in the gap in the kick start arm to get tighter grip won't thread anymore
Check the coils, the RDs are notorious for weak coils. The old trick was to use a couple automotive coils for better output.
Those 70s Japan two stroke street bikes were sweet! The big 3 makers were really cranking these babies out and shipping worldwide! So there's plenty of carcasses out there just waiting for some love! Little, mid or large displacement anything on 2 wheels can be fun. 3 wheels too for us older teenagers
Brother.. you are so lucky that you picked up that bike for only $50!!!! holy crap man! you are so lucky you found that bike! Talk about a score!
Score? No offense but that thing is a clapper. I wouldnt give the shit off my boot for that thing lol. He should’ve parted it out, probably could of got more money that way.
@@johndoe-ly8jt any motorcycle for $50 is a score!!! you can easily make your money back selling the parts off of it!
Just have to say..you're using your channelocks backwards. they work much better pulling than pushing. I do love this video!
keep up the amazing work Joe! U deserve a million subs!!!
Sure does
I agree
I agree also he does do a good job 👍👍👍
Reviving my '78 XT500 and my 2002 Vstar, l used a Gatorade iv test tank on the first ride of each. I had it zip tied to the handlebars. Good job there on that bike.
'Love two-stroke bikes! My 1990 yamaha dt 125 still runs!
I build expansion chambers for these Yamaha CS5 and RD200 engines, up to 35hp! got mine to do over 100mph!
THe spring is for the starter motor/generator brushes, it supposed to go ontop of the carbon brush to hold it down, not be jammed into the side of it like that one is
I don’t think that’s the right kickstart, but you could widen the gap on the lever with a cutting blade on an angle grinder and then you can tighten it down more. We all start working on bikes and you learn as you go....cool to see a young dude getting his hands dirty!
I got my first 1972 rd 350 back in 1978 it was rebuilt when I got I rode for about 18 months and I sold it when I whent to the army then about 10 years back I found another 1972 rd 350 I got that one rebuilt it and paint the same color as my start one I loved the first and I now love this but this time I'll never sell the 2nd one I've owned meany bikes over the years but it was my 1972 rd 350 that I missed the most and was so very happy to get another one
Hey bud I used to have an rd350 it was orange I love that old bike man it was a whole ass butt I hope you get it running great man my name is Johnny Young I appreciate you saving stuff like that to rebuild it you're an awesome person I'm glad I can say something
The oil is clean because there are no combustion by-products mixing with the oil. Since 2 strokes use mix fuel/auto lube oil for the engine, the "crankcase" oil only lubes the clutch and trans.
Cool old bike, cant believe you didn't wash it before you started working on it. It looks like it smells bad also. So much easier working on a clean bike and not letting dirt get into the engine or carb.
Each time I watch your video I learn something new
On your starter the brushes weren't making any contact so like you said the springs were worn out.
Love all your videos I am so glad I saw your Chanel 3 months ago and can’t wait For every upload
Back in High School (yeah I am old), the RD400 was the bike to have! I never knew they made 200 version of this style of bike. Its really hard to find a stock one, most of them have been cafe converted (which I hate). Love your videos, motivates me to get out in my garage and work on mine. I don't know how you alway find good deal though. Here is TX everything is sky high.
i had an RD350 and an RD400 , . . . the 400 was a dog ! couldn't get out of its own way !
the 350 however was an untamed beast ! i was beating 750cc bikes running light to light races in the late 80's
By looks of it, that bike was used as a dirt bike, which is pretty common.
You put Gas in it thats amazing im surprised it ran , I would of thought petroleum and 2 stroke oil would be needed .
I think you need a brush kit for the starter. It should come with new springs.
First proper bike i had on the road 1978 Rd200dx absolutely loved that bike still miss it now love the soundtrack absolute bliss 👌 nice work dude good luck with everything 👍
2vintage not bad your making progress keep going before you know it you can ride just fix that back break its stuck
He is good in saying about the 200cc Twin Yamaha slow motorcyle. He said one person sit on the Yamaha motorcycle at the same time he push the motorcycle while it is on 1st and 2nd gear either one. That save time into my heart the motor and his starter. Everywhere you run at same time pushing the handlebar then jump up and sit on the seat of the Yamaha and press first gear and let go the left side hand handle. That is called starter button except HaoSen TaoTao that built all the best starter motors in all over the world and don't get RIP OFF in Harley-Davidson..
I own an old 83 Yamaha MX100. This reminds me of that old bike. Sweet it's a 2 stroke twin! Nice buy, not bad for 50bucks!
The point have lobe for distribute shaft carries the lobe few lobes. You did saw the press spring push the point into closed circuit. The lobe reverse the direction of the push until the opened circuit by lobe alternating.
The two spark plugs of twin cylinders enclosed of bores and stroke 200cc will automatic fire same time. The power stroke of both cylinder Twin combustion chamber is fire/boom. That's the Yamaha's way and it helps to win right in the Starting line to the lead of the pack = the highest acceleration.
It's funny that he cleaned his workbench and still worked on the floor
If i had bike in that condition i would work in outside🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not enough light. 🤔🤨
just me a new watcher watching all your videos like i said did this shit when i was a kid makes me wanna do it again
The purple paint on the headlamp brackets and oil tank is the genuine Yamaha paint and it is called "Purple popsicle"
not me sitting here refreshing knowing he’s about to upload
Love this bike. I have been looking for older two stroke street bikes with no luck, They are impossible to find for sale in California.
put around 3 coats of varnish on that workbench it will be good to go i did it to mine i can spill gas on it and it wont take the varnish off
and put some small gravel in tank with vinegar and shake it the back and forth the gravel will get rid of most rust and let it soak -----------good luck ----------that's a great old Yamaha
I enjoyed this video. Took me back to a time as a young teen ripping it up with 2 strokes n doing my own repairs.
Thanks~
Showing how cleaned up the workbench is and after that working on the floor with the carb, hehehe. keep up the good work.
Those are probably the brush springs for the electric starter motor.
Dual cylinders, dual pistons and dual pipes. Epic, minty.
That "black thing" that you were pushing down on was the brushes for the starter motor. You may need new brushes and new brush springs
Yeah I do. Do you know where to get them? Every place I look they are unavailable
@@2vintage try to find alternator/starter rebuilder or maybe find someone who works on electric motors if you cannot find genuine old stock yamaha parts.
Mikes xs??
The very first thing I do with a find is a wash and detail. I want to see what I got, I don’t want dirt contaminating my work, and for the time that it doesn’t run, it looks good.
PB That card slide it'll come out in a bit. Probably gonna need throttle cables to.
This is a certified classic
Good deal. She starts and runs.
Merry Xmas ! I use to own a CS 200 Yamaha, 1971 model. Great days for me. I am no 63.
Auckland. NZ
Make sure you have the throttle wide open when you do compression tests
I am really enjoying the video. I will be purchasing either a Honda, or Yamaha. Either one will be fine. Thank you for the videos!
I wonder how the cr250 will turn out that motorcycle looked like trouble though hope the cr250 turns out good though
Awesome content. Love the old two strokes.
Looked up your channel about 30 minutes ago to see if you uploaded lol
2+2 gum cutter works good on stuck slides plus a heat gun
Please tell us about boiling the carburetor to get the slides free? What did you boiling them in. How long did it to free them? Please add any additional details.
Thank you I will do. love what you do with the bikes
You really stepped it up content wise, loving the new vids, keep up the great work
The bike is a 1972 CS5 200. The "thing" the spring is pushing on is one of the four generator brushes. Two are there for the charging system and two are for the electric start. They have nothing to do with the ignition which is battery and coil on this model.
Already know its gonna be good.
You need get a bottle to hook on the bars for a test gas tank
Acetone work great on cleaning old gummed up fuel
my mate had 1 of them a rd 125 same as your`s (but yours is a 200) same cylinder had no spark so he set lite to the end of the pipe and it was like a rocket with the flames ,think it was the condenser but it was years ago
2-stroke relic I swear, that thing is tight
I cringed when you were prying the carburetor slide out with a screw driver.
I know right.
So? It’s not a brand new 10k bike bud
LMAO 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@dirtbike.drayke doesn’t matter if it’s a Chinese bike, still take care of your property, why destroy it when you can keep it nice? Yk
We should all chip in and get Joe some proper tools.
Some insulation in your garage would help in those cold winters 😁 my friend and I enjoy all of your videos, especially the old bikes . 🖖✌️
Hate it when people don't wash their projects. Dirt in the moving parts, scratching chrome and paint with grit rubbed in by a dry cloth. I have been riding Yamahas since 1964. In 69 I had the predecessor to this it was a CS 180. Gret bike. Deserves to be properly reconditioned.
Why did I just now get the notification to the video I thought this was a new vid, but I already watched this
That's weird!
@@2vintage great video tho watched it as soon as it came out kinda funny how I just got the notification tho happy to see you responding to comments keep up the great work man .
ps: will there be anymore kawaski Tecate videos
But that is Honda Hawk having the stator in right side, not Yamaha. The Points and generator with 6 diodes in left side motor is for Yamaha. The two springs for centrifugal advance timing or 1 spring instead of 2 spring is okay for weight into rotation counter as it's in the system for dwell.
It would be helpful if you added links to the follow on videos in your content. Annoying to have to search for other videos. I like the content. You’re rebuilding my youth. I’m still picking out road rash from my younger years.
Used to have an RD400, it was an awesome bike.
Awesome man cave...nice work bench.keep it up...peace
Your back thanks you for using the work bench! Lol
Love you videos bud keep it going for a long time
You can check the autolube pump by removing the bleed screw. 2 adjustments. First is on throttle cable. Second is by shims on the pump stroke. The starter / dynamo is very heavy, a major piece. Something is broken - brush? It would be great of you had a manual.
You might wanna make a temporary gas tank out of an metal folgers can with a barb on the bottom and a hose connected.. then some wire to hold it up from your ceiling. That's what I made for temporary when the real tank is rusty. Good luck on your bike. Rd's forever...
Drill a hole through the kick lever and the shift and add a pin to keep it from stripping completely out. Itll save a lot of headache down the road with it.
It’s great to see something different instead of dirt bikes.
I wanna see you build a super nice new dirt bike for yourself
I have a 1972 Yamaha rd 350 there great little bikes
Take a hacksaw blade to the grove on the kickstart lever. The bolt will tighten better
I enjoy your vids.keep up the good work.
Those black things with springs are electrical contacts called brushes. Most electrical motors and generators have them unless it's the more modern brushless design. Brushless motors weren't around in 71'.
I think that pile of wires near th handle bars was your problem, or a fuse.
Betsy has came too life!!! 💪
Check the stock hey size and up the jets . They were probably lean from the factory . Get the jets up a bit throw a high flow filter and that 2 stroke will open up .
Jet**
Love the vids man keep up the good work 💪👍
It's important for the carburetor slides to fit the way they were designed to and when dirt gets in and wears them, they must be replaced. Sanding them or using any abrasive on them can cause the same condition. I always use solvents to loosen them up and if prying is needed, I use a plastic or wooden drift / centering tool.
Did you change the oil first
There should be diagrams and a procedure, maybe a video, online for checking the oil injection pump which takes shims to calibrate. They are checked to see how much oil in pumped while rotating the knurled wheel on the pump's shaft.
Sweet little bike man. Love it.
Onve you remove the main jet take off the washer and screw just the main back in and you can tap out the other part of the main jet. Will only come out through the top where the slides usually are. Those get clogged to some times. Just make site you put it back in the right way,they have a pin that aligns with a slot. You need to invest in a impact driver for those side cover bolts. They take away all worrys about stripping
Looks like the brush for the starter motor. The spring/brush needs changing. Probably the brush.
Well done m8 good diagnosis sound lovely wen u redline it
Just curious why your vise is so far from the edge? It's more solid for hammering right above the bench leg.
Cool old bike the rd350 were the cool thing to hot rod they would haul ass with a set of chambers on them. If you really want a thrill ride the Mach 3 500 or 750.
