I had an RM80 and a YZ125 when I was a very young man... I miss dirt bikes. They're a way of life and once you have one it never leaves your blood.... there's nothing like it and you always want to get back into it. I'm way-old now but I'm gonna get one and I'm gonna blame it on you.
My mom never let me have any motorcycles growing up and when dad got a divorce first thing he did was get me a new 1991 kx250. I couldn’t stay on that freaking thing for more than 5 minutes. So powerful! Miss u old man.
Beauty of a bike! Love it. My girls have been busting around on their Suzuki quad master 50 and finally convinced me to get mine out. Pulled the ‘85 ATC 250R out of the shed after 7 years or so. A quick once over and she’s runnin crisp. Braaaaap. 😎
When I was a kid the YZ's were the top of the line. SO powerful !!! If you were in 8th grade and had a YZ80, you were the coolest kid. I had a Honda XR80, so I was pretty cool. More tame than a CR80.
Yes been waiting for the dirtbike content! That cleaned up really nicely its in good condition for the age, you better not leave us hanging with the update can't wait to see you pop some wheelies.
I had the same bike years ago. I purchased it in 1987 from a local motocross guy. My buddies and I were woods riders. This was a rock solid trail bike for me for many years!!! Great times.
Nice find. I had one of these a while back. DCVMX has boots for the intake and airbox for most 80s bikes. My 84 KDX has all new boots from them. Thanks for filming this.
Hot air gun is your friend on that airbox. Makes it more pliable. *Slightly* more pliable... I have a Yamaha XJ900F, 4-carb airbox which is a right royal pain in the fundament. But sounds beautiful when she runs right.
That bike came up really nice after the clean. The carb and other bits looks pretty good for it's age. Not many hours on the bike I assume. I think you may have to move the shock to get the air box out.
According to my NGK 88-89 catalog the Yamaha YZ250s for the Australia and The US markets takes a B9EG or B9EGV. The other plug fits jaguars amongst others. LOL Thats a nice old bike.
Jason, that's a cool bike. Ya know we really love ya, but I am tell'in ya I need my Josh fix too!!! He woulda had that air cleaner in and out like that!!!! Brouhaha. John here, a Covid Recoverin kinda guy from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee. Thanks for the videos, really enjoy them!!
@@5150mxVW hi jay when is part two due to be on you left us all hanging even my ten year old daughter been asking me we always watch TH-cam on the TV mate
I can tell you are a skilled guy, (because i am too), but I have a tip for the air filter oiling. I can see it is blotchy looking as some cells are filled with oil. After you oil it completely, and after you squeezed out the major excess, then use white paper towels to squeeze out the rest of the filled cells. I keep using the white paper towels until almost no more oil color is transferring to it. Then I know all the walls of the cells are coated, but none of them filled. Gets the most air and blocks the dirt perfectly.
Thanks for the video. I have a GRX1000 that I need to clean up and get running. The battery is dead (💀). I realize I can pressure wash it with no problems. As always you are funny especially the part about Red Velvet cake!
Oil filled float bowl. I bet over the years, gas was able to flow into the float bowl, (gas in the tank, petcock on), and as the gas evaporated, it left the oil behind. Tank probably had an ounce or two of oil in it. I forgot, that was just before sub-frames.
As far as taking apart a carb goes i'd rather have one full of oil than full of rust and corrosion. Does that bike run on pre-mix or is there a separate oil feed?
I LOVE this video!!! I used to ride and race 250 2 strokes in the 1980s and 1990s. I LOVE that you are breathing life into one of them. You look familiar. Did you used to race motocross? Best of wishes to all. 😎
I think the 87 radiator shrouds bolt right up to the 86, but the 86 shrouds were red. I had that bike. I think the power is a lot like my new yz250 2-stroke. Soft down low, pretty good in the middle, but most of the hp on top.
I have the same bike and I am restoring it. Wondering which carburetor rebuild kit you need. There are so many to choose from. I started it yesterday and it just went to wide open throttle and I had to shut the fuel off to stop it.
As kids, a buddy of mine and his younger brother helped their sister out who had a loose tooth by tying one end of a piece of string to the tooth and the other end to a door knob,----and slammed the door shut to pull out the tooth, (I think they got the idea from a Bugs Bunny cartoon). I wonder if a prybar would have worked better? :)
next time hacksaw the subframe clean off, clean air box and the what have you then weld subframe back on. 10 times faster and with much less frustration.
Mustie would have it running in 5 minutes but the video would be about an hour and a half long! =)

Exellent work Jason 😊. Looks a lot better out of the basement
thank you Brian , heck yeah it does :)
Jason you mean Red Velvet 🍰! Get the coffee ready!
HELL YES !!!! RED VELVET !!!! Got a slice of 8 layer red velvet in my fridge now !!! 🍰🍰🍰
It was agonizing I knew the anser. It's delicious.
@@davidcollins1853 and wash it down with good coffee or an ice cold glass of milk!
Can’t believe you finding that YZ in such a good condition, loved the air box removal. What a drag that was lols.

What a tease with that 92 rm250!!! You scored acouple of low hour dimes there
Lovely bike Jason, Yes Jen is 100% right '' Red velvet cake '' It's Too sweet for me thou.
I could feel Jen rolling her eyes when you said you were recording 😂

Really clean bike, not much time on that one. Great score!
Loved the 80's Yamahas. The '86 YZs are probably my favorite bikes (cosmetically) of all time.
There's probably a retired engineer from Yamaha laughing evily at you lol.
Awww Man, ya left me hangin’ Did it fire up? Sounded like it would…well played sir, I will wait for the update!
I would love to hear it run and ride. Cause it brings back memories of me and my dad riding he had a 90 rm 250 and I had a kdx250
yup Red Velvet Thanks for sharing Jason
thank you Ted , have a great weekend and enjoy the great weather
I remember those old Yamahas, it's gonna get some
Devils food cake? Wow that almost started in a few kicks
So glad to see a dirt bike video. Awesome bike thanks for sharing keep’em coming!
thank you Geg , there are a few more bikes to get to
awesome find
Hey what did you end up doing with the 1986 cr125?
I was wondering about that as well.
Excellent video Jason 🇬🇧
thank you
I picked up a Champion Framed Yamaha MX250 Yewwww Stoked!
Wow!pretty cool score! Can't wait to hear that baby run! Don't make us wait too long! LOL
Good to see you back on the bikes again mate
thank you Lee , felt good
@@5150mxVW hi jay when is part two due to be on you left us all hanging even my ten year old daughter been asking me we always watch TH-cam on the TV mate
Anything on the cr
Finally another bike episode! 👌👏👏
👍
That thing is clean AF!
why yes , yes it is lol :)
Gore in his dirt bike manual said tuners can run a 7 for an extremely rich jetted scoot..9 is too cold for those vintage scoots..👍🤠
The magic erasers from the dollar store work really good on cleaning up scuff Mark's and bringing back color plastics!
What about using a heat gun to soften up the air box to get it out and then again heat it up to get it back in. TP
All that effort just to tease us. I was going to watch the next one anyway. Bike is looking good.

good tip thank you...I'm not a skilled wrench but i've come a long way haha
Hey I’m back because of dirt bike content!
welcome back👍
Sweet! I've got an 89 YZ250 that's white and blue. It feels like it's more than just a 250 power wise.
Might have the ole 360 kit in it 👍
Ah man, can we get an update on the YZ, RM and the CR125 please? Love the dirt bike vids.
Thanks for the video. I have a GRX1000 that I need to clean up and get running. The battery is dead (💀). I realize I can pressure wash it with no problems. As always you are funny especially the part about Red Velvet cake!
Hell yeah! Love seeing your dirtbike videos
👍, thank you
A truly mean machine. Jason, do you remember the commercial "They call me Yamahoppy" ?
Man your killing me. Nice bike 👍 have a great rest of your week....
thank you EB , you as well
Awesome job. I like that bike.
thank you , I appreciate it....me too :)
Great to see you back with a bike video
I believe the bpr7es is a small engine plug possibly a snowblower or lawn mower maybe a generator
Kawasaki uses it in some of their small engines.
I love the old motorcycle resurrection videos.
👍
Nice one mate

Might have mumbled a cuss word or two at the end :) Looking forward to see how she rips.
Ah Jason, just poured a coffee set down and video ended ,lol ,next time maybe ,cheers
Remember no brakes is a plus 👌!!!; )
This is where you are at your best....
haha, bikearuski! i'll have an update on that money pit soon
Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks
thank you Donald , much appreciated
Alright dude. How about the the cr125 bikearuski?
Cool
Bike , amazing find , what about the gear oil , reeds and bad dirty fuel in tank , was waiting for that ,
thank you ....next vid👍....but yeah , while the carb was out was a great time to swap the reeds ....edit , i didn't have them
Good job, Jay!
Awsome man, great work and video😎👌
thank you my Friend
I think if you lose that rear shockbreaker and pull it forwards, you can shove the filter right in i think? 👍👍😎
yes👍
What a tease. 😆
As far as taking apart a carb goes i'd rather have one full of oil than full of rust and corrosion. Does that bike run on pre-mix or is there a separate oil feed?
Looked like 2-stroke oil after the gas evaperated. Could have been much worse.
Winner take all made 86 yz famous. Great bike
Rode the hell out of one of these in the 80s!
I LOVE this video!!! I used to ride and race 250 2 strokes in the 1980s and 1990s. I LOVE that you are breathing life into one of them. You look familiar. Did you used to race motocross? Best of wishes to all. 😎
Love the bikes 😁
thats a cool bike
thank you Mika

Just after I posted, I continued the vid and saw the text. Jeeech.
haha, i don't recall the vid but i must of put text in to wean off the comments :)
The old sparkirooski 😂
Well thats a nice one 💪💪💪
That’s still clean asf how long it’s been sitting
RED VELVET 🍰🍰🍰☕️
I LOVE this old yz‘s
👍
Who want to ride on MOUSE PISS......yea you gotta wash it.
Mannnnn I really wanted to hear it run. Your dirt bike vids are so spread apart.
yes they are , but my son is riding so hopefully that will change
I have the same bike and I am restoring it. Wondering which carburetor rebuild kit you need. There are so many to choose from. I started it yesterday and it just went to wide open throttle and I had to shut the fuel off to stop it.
wont run,
LOL.. ha ha ha OMG LOL
Try to find a B8EG or B8EGV. Work super. I've managed to find 2 boxes for my old stuff. Just seem to work the best.
B9EG was factory , that is what went in👍
Great find, not the best era for YZ's but thats in great condition, but Where's the CR?
cool
thank you Dan
For the airbox you just have to put like a prybar behind just pop it right out with a prybar
I’ll pass on the prybar Mark 😆

Nice but where is the cr ??? Is it still in bits ??.
Dude these are my favorite bikes I believe this was Robbie Knievel's bike of choice!!!! Do you got any Yamaha TTS??
Jason , you know any tricks to getting the yellowing off the gas tank? I have an older bike and can't get the outside of the tank clean
Great video, lovely bike. When is the first ride? I was excited to see this go!
I know you saw the kannenberg auction ?
What a nice bike
My cousin have one
thank you , nice👍
Tease!!!
:)
The engine in a 83 yz250 is exact same as current yz250. Bore stroke compression ratio. Ypvs valve
only the current YZ makes twice the HP lol
Heck yeah
Beets cake. That'd be a red cake. Is there such thing?
What's the cleaner spray you use
next time hacksaw the subframe clean off, clean air box and the what have you then weld subframe back on.
10 times faster and with much less frustration.
What became of the CR?
Think the word ur looking for is not very often spark lol
Red velvet.
Part 2 ?????
