Santa needs to bring you a lift table for Christmas. Your back will thank you when you are my age.
Santa needs to bring him a parts washing cabinet more than anything 😁
Also some more bench space so he doesn't have to do his "rebuilds" on the dirty floor 🥴
Ditto, working in dentistry you see so many mid 40s with bad backs from hunching over all day. Ergonomics
I need one too. What's cool is he does all this work in a garage like most of us out there have.
Thinking same👍
Add a roll starter also. All that kick starting those 400+ will break a leg, wrench your back, and in some cases put the ole "family jewels" out of commission 😊😅😂
Even though you refuse to clean stuff...I still love the channel!
Tell us you didn’t watch the last min of the video without telling us you didn’t watch the last min 😂
I agree my OCD kickes into high gear with them cases not being cleaned I know he washed the bike but my god them cases🤦♂️
Part Out - Nonsense - Hold my beer.
That’s how some of the best 2 stroke bike builds are made!
He fixes things half ass doesn’t even fix the exhaust leak before riding
@@benny8300-- And Big Benny -- how many subscribers do you have on your channel? Let me guess . . . single?
@benny8300 and your mother didn't fix her drug addiction before having you
@@user-pp2ze4yq3m joe is the king of hackery
You should really take advantage of a vapor blast company or invest in a cleaning cabinet. All that work and the outside of engine is still old looking!
No need for it.
all clean and shiny on the inside is what matters
I was thinking the same
@@oscr_zenUntil a dirt clod falls into all those shiny internal parts during reassembly.
I admit the lack of cleaning on the bikes used to drive me insane, but I see the method to Joe's madness. He is a content machine. He pumps out double or triple what other people do in the same time frame. He is killing it on TH-cam. Plus, all the people commenting leads to more interest and interactions and TH-cam loves that. Joe would be losing money if he slowed down and made the bikes cherry looking.
Did anybody else notice the little k inside the timing chain area these motors are actually made by Kawasaki Heavy industries in Japan
Yes, this was during the brief Suzuki/Kawasaki collaboration in the early 2000s. Unfortunately the results weren't very good.
@@stkyfngrszmooth it was done in the '70s and '80s with snowmobiles also if you bought a Kawasaki 440 invader skidoo it come with a Suzuki engine in it made by Suzuki Heavy industries Japan so they're collaboration wasn't just in the 2000s it goes back into the '70s with snowmobiles
Yeah I noticed that too. Also at 15:49 you can see the engine serial number starts with KX250 so that was strange too.
I don't know anything about mechanics, but I really enjoy your videos, they entertain me a lot. Thank you for taking the time to explain and teach us. I hope it's not necessary but one day I could apply it to my motorcycle, Suzuki DR 350 1997.
Im from Northern Michigan and it seems weird seeing you in a tee shirt and dust flying in March! What a winter! Great job!!
Same in St. Paul MN. Don't think we've had a foot of snow all winter, only below zero a handful of times and 50s-60s in Feb and March
I'm in West Branch Michigan.. the weather has been great lately.. we got 15" of snow mid February though.. lol..
im from northern michigan and was in a t-shirt yesterday riding my dirt bike lol. -Traverse City.
When Joe was fitting the new cam chain, you can see a Kawasaki K on the inside case! Great video👌👌
First! I picked up an 05 rmz450 for $700 yesterday with the same issue kicked over fine when i bought it. Guy said it had timing issues…. Kicked it over 10 more times when i got home and crank locked lol
those models had common issues with the cam gears on the cams spinning and causing it to go out of time. on the ones I've worked on it was also the issue with the cams
They are not great thats for sure
@@michaelbiel7473 i just ended up selling it for $800 and an old locked up yfm100 so i cant complain lol
It wouldn’t make for very good videos if everything you drag home only needed a carb clean and a valve adjustment. I like it when something destined for the scrap heap is brought back to life.
It amazes me how you can remember where all the different size bolts, gears etc go when you reassemble engines, I would be lost lol. Great job!
We’re not getting sick of watching Joe! Longer videos of you doing your thing is the best! Good job man keep up the awesome videos 💪🏼
So glad the rescue was successful 👍. Good to see the Vin Man; the vid is just not complete without his appearance 😀
Really like watching,great knowledge. But Joe, do a prewash and then clean everything up before reassembly. You make it run like new…. Make it look that way also,!!!
Subscribers have been telling him this. You are beating a dead horse.
@@Only-Memories-In-The-End😂😂👍
Lack of pride and craftsmanship.
Sad as I'd always liked Suzuki's, buddy owned a GS850 (early 80s) and I loved riding on and working on it. Zoinks! Watch your twisting back. Great video, keep up the hard work
2Vinny - "Where did all my hair go? Did I sleep to close to the lawnmower/snowblower?"
Getting sick ?? Absolutely not. Love the videos!!! Keep them coming
Great video..joe..you need invest in a 2 hands sandblaster just for engine cleans..and carb..with soda or fine sand..😉 Vinny looks great again..grtz
First 17 seconds of the clip literally sums the love - hate relationship I had with my Suzuki RMZ 250. That kickstarter hitting the peg repeatedly is music to my ears. God I fricking miss my bike 🥲
I never get bored watching. Matter of fact, I enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the good work
You didn't put enough oil on the top of the piston, I recommend about a quart. 😁
And at least a 1/2 qt on the bottom
Great job & great bike, would loved to have seen how you (or if you) repaired the rear rim 👌
Hell of a brake in, ease it up, make it last. Turned out nice. Great job Joe, keep it up
Excellent work, vid's like this, from you, gives me hope, if I ever need to do a rebuild. Kudos
Another great video Joe!!! if you can find one how about a Honda 420 Rancher... really cool and pretty quick for a " utility quad"
if you pour your oil with the opening up.... no more glug glug. love the content
good video Joe. Never too long when it's trouble shooting and instructional. Hope you can reclaim the crank
Someday you'll do a circlip installation live with no edit and you'll make me laugh like hell! Love the channel and feel your pain!
You are an absolute legend. You get everything running. I would love to learn from you. That is my dream to just buy bikes and fix them. Keep up the good work 👍.
You should try installing the piston and rings in the cylinder, off the engine. Then once the piston is in the cylinder, lower it enough so you can get the kingpin in. I find this easier than struggling with the little space you have trying to crush those rings in there! Great channel! Good luck!
Hello from Costa Rica!! Love your videos, 👍
Sounds and looks like powerfull, i thought maybe a bit lean, but wow great again . Big Up!
I'm reminded of a Song......''Know when to hold'em, Know when to fold'em''.......that is this bike and the KX version.
Hey Joe u should do a video on a pitbike Ben watching ur vids since the beginning and iv learns alot from u keep up the good work bud can't wait to see the next one
WTH you got the left boot on layaway 😂
Very good work Joe keep it up buddy and just FYI this video was not even close to being to long.
Good work Joe, you make it look easy.
I had a full Too Tech suspension with the fork extender on my YZ. Damn I miss that bike.😢
Think checking spark right off would be good idea.
Thanks for not giving up on that bike.We gotta bring all these old bikes back to life.Who's with me
No one. 😂
Agree about lift table, question when u replace brake pads u can use a c-clamp to compress the piston might want to open bleeder, do you lubricate the slides of the caliper if equipped, suggestion when doing valve jobs after reassembly it is advisable to tap the valve stems with a hammer to seat valve keepers, I enjoy watching your videos, you are very sharp.
Good memories, I had a 2004 KXF, Tedesco replica, it was the same engine as the RMZ, reliable and very docile engine, with the power of a 125 but the push of a 4t, I remember a lot when you changed the oil filter cartridge and had than throwing all the water out of the radiator, :-D good times...
Good job, ever thought about opening a repair Shop there is a small engine craft for each season.
Only ride it as far as you want to push it back..
Sounds like my dad after I've repaired something. Hope you have comfortable walking shoes and money for the bus
Or as far as your buddy is willing to drive with the trailer lol
@@doctorwhodude82 My dad whenever I did a car repair, make sure you have money for the bus and a pair of good shoes
Was good seeing your pup and glad rhe bike worked out great job bro
last couple top ends i have done used spiral locks instead of clips. those things......... i jammed em under finger nail several times! they will have you throwing tools about your shop and speaking in tongues! when you get em figured out they are a lil easier to deal with. but that first time.. OMG!!
well done. You saved another one and gave us some excellent video.
nice repair job, @ 54:55 is there large dent in the rear wheel rim @ 1 O clock position??
Joe, I have to give you props for working on all these bikes and quads, but dude get yourself or make you a hot tank for all these grody nasty engines. It sets my OCD to high with all the nasty dirty parts. lol A 55-gallon drum set on a stand laid on its side cut in half long ways with hinges with two heating elements and a thermostat with 25 gallons of simple Green would do wonders. Just a suggestion! :)
If the mechanic doesn't even clean, that makes a buyer doubt the work was done correctly. Lack of confidence = low-ball offers.
Im embarrassed for him.
Earth
He never seems to reinvest in his tools. Ever see his “wire crimpers”? He uses pliers. 😂
Loved it. Great video.
Something good to do when your putting a new crank to your old flywheel, take valve grinding compound on your crank and rub it in with your flywheel before you put the woodruff key in, it also helps from not shearing off your woodruff key
i'll be watching again. i have this exact bike and it's my first since i was kid in the 80s. got the carb ourt and having issues with a potentially stripped thread in one of the cover screws. :(
That’s a badass RM. Nice rebuild. That bike rips
Great vid but what was the broken aluminium metal piece under the flywheel when you removed it at 10.07 on vid ?
Nice fix. I bet it’s running better now that you have put bigger jets in the carburettor. One of my friends did a rebuild on his bike. He tried to kickstart it. When it hit the compression stroke, it kicked back and sent him over the handlebars.😂😂 I saw it happen.
Whether right or wrong, I used to very lightly oil the rings, the cylinder walls, and everything inside if I've split the cases. But when started up I wouldn't get all that smoke, and I figured the rings would be seating quicker, and without baking oil into the ring grooves, and sticking them. I might be all wet though. I've built many auto engines using this method.
Is there a dent in the rear wheel on the right side? Great job on the rebuild
Would love to see the bike once you get the tires and graphics kit, and let us know how the jetting went. Nice find.
Wow, another "Beast". What will you do???? Great video as usual. Thanks!!
Long or not, I enjoyed the video. When you finally got to test ride it, it almost sounded like the clutch was slipping in the higher gears, but I thing the tire was just spinning in the dirt.
Never get sick of watching...
always watch your video your impact wrench seems great for a 3/8 drive what is the brand name THANK.S FROM MONTREAL CAN,
Great Videos As Always
Like always great work 😎😎
I am in Ontario Canada, you guy's get really good deals almost to good to be true,can't find any bike for under 2500
Love watching your videos you do great work, but should seriously consider getting a wash table even if its a harbor freight one, put all that money into these bikes and there dirty as hell. But either way great video.
Love the videos man😊
Nice rebuild. Runs good too. It did pump out a lot of smoke on start up.
That’s from that gallon of oil he put on the piston when he assembled it
Good job joe ! I’d say you will get your $ back on it for sure . I am interested for what you got in it
Nice work. How does Vinnie feel about his buzz cut?
What does, oiling the top of the Piston do, when reassembling. Besides put oil in the combustion chamber.....
Fouls the spark plug 😂
My thoughts too
These are great bikes I have owned both the Suzuki and Kawasaki version Same Bike and like most things if you take care of them keep up on maintenance they will run great for years. You will love the bike once you get it up and running.
Excellent. Thank you.
I enjoy your longer videos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
Well done as always. WD-40 takes sticker goo off pretty good and is super safe for paint and plastic. You probably already know that though :).
Always change all bearings as in most cases the others will fail at some stage and you’ll have a costly rebuild again,love your restoration work and your Chanel 👍✌️
Your comment is spot-on. If you fail a bearing or a gear and metal is floating in the oil, all the bearings will be lubricated with the contaminated oil.
The metal is grinding into the balls and races and they are destined to fail early. Even if they rotate smoothly the other bearings should be replaced during the rebuild.
Mechanics and shops that have to warranty thier work replace all the bearings, engines are completely disassembled and thoroughly cleaned and dried before reassembly with proper assembly lubes. Otherwise the repairs don't last.
I like the content, Joe would need to change his work habits or I would not be able to hire him.
@@jimw6991 I think a decent parts washer wouldn’t go astray either 👍💯
Nooooo!!!!... as a person who is just now looking to get into a project. What happens when. You re-jet the bike? Talking about the tutorials here. Btw thanks for peaking my interests.
Love your videos, I’m curious if you do this for a living or have a normal job too and just do this for fun
I thought about that also. Need to know vs want to know.
Great Chanel great build😊
I've never saw a guy build so many engines......but can never get them to just fire up on camera... You are still young...maybe change your career path....😂
He doesn't ohm the coils or stator to see if they are week.
I've told him to start doing this be he won't do it.
You obviously don’t get how this works do you? I would assume that’s why you are a viewer
I’m surprised you don’t buy a good quality battery impact. Man I love my Milwaukee for stubborn nuts and bolts!!
Another top notch job Joe! Sounds like it's running fine now.
I have learned so much from watching you. Thank you.
Another great video!!!
Look at the rear wheel.Toast
i saw that , was looking in comments to see if anyone else did
Did you notice the rear wheel is bent? Surprised you didn't mention it. PS I'm in Sheboyan. I love your videos!
I went to school in sheboygan falls
You should get some cleaning wheels for your dremel and spend just a few minutes cleaning up the swing arm bolt before greasing it and putting it back in. You will find that you won't have to hit it as hard or as many times to get it to slide right in. It is crazy how much friction the rust and old gummed up grease causes.
Typical bike flipper tactics. Just the bare minimum to get it out the door.
I think it would be really interesting for you to show any bikes you’re parting out. I’m about to have to part out an 89 KX500 that has a cracked engine case but all the internals are good. I would like to see your process or methods for parting out lol
Dont part it out ! u can find cases! or sell it to me.
Depending on how bad the crack is and where, the aluminum case could be welded and fixed. I pretty much cracked the transfer case of my jeep wrangler in half one time, took it all apart and welded it back together. I owned that thing for probably a dozen years after that fix and it never gave a problem again.
@ 24:15 is that a Kawasaki logo? On the case, under the cam guide.
I know manufacturers share parts but engine cases ?
Timing chain laying in the dirt, nice
Sounds like a log truck :)
What o-ring grease so you use? Putting my carb back together and hopefully get mine running soon! Tia.
It had a hanging idle, pilot jet could be lean too.
The old Kawazuki 250. I remember the dealerships selling those at a loss to get rid of them. 😂
I wish you included year, make and model/cc in the title of your videos. I've watched so many of them now and man would it help when I want to search for a video that I've watched and wanted to watch again when I work on one of my bikes to compare what I've got and what you did to fix it. That way your videos could be more of a repair giude that just entertaining and never know what bike you are going to watch on your next videos.
You do a great job, I wish you were close to me in upstate ny, I would bring alot if jobs you way. Great vedos, you do a good job explaining. Best if luck.
That air compressor really ruins the asmr effect of these videos while I work.
Sounds good great job...
Awesome watch again sir
Good rebuild
Great how you bring machines back to life - 4 cylinder road bike next ?
