Adam's Dirt Bike Hasn't Ran Right For 6 YEARS - Can We FIX IT??

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.พ. 2025
- The engine in this 1998 Kawasaki KX250 was completely rebuilt (top end and bottom end), but ran very poorly afterward. Adam wasn't positive what the problem was, so he invited us to have a look at it. In this video we attempt to repair it!
If you would like us to make a video with you and your machine, send us a message!

I too was skeptical of the change in format. but it worked out great. I tell ya, the pureness of the smile the Jake had was priceless. Money can't buy that. I thoroughly enjoyed this channel. I've learned so much from starting to watch it almost 7 years ago.
These 2 are perfect to run this new format they have the knowledge along with their infectious personality’s .. onto a winner here 💪
Great format. 30 minute time frame was spot on. No part 2's made it even better. Intro, problem, diagnose, fix, test, done.
That's a dangerous way to remove a crank. That easily can throw the crank off balance. Should use a crank puller for a reason!
I'm blown away by how well this new format is working right off the bat. This channel is going to the moon.
I was skeptical of the concept, turns out this is a fun idea. Showing up and just winging it is real, good job.
12:30 lol
Thanks! It was a new experience, but lots of fun!
ohhh.
actually super happy with this kinda content, doing small miracles one bike at a time and you could see the pride in jakes eyes seeing how happy adam was, so i vote to keep this up!
Thanks Jake!!!! Can’t say it enough, you are great!!! I owe you one, now I’m ready for a ride.
Would not have been a success without you! My hat's off to you Adam.
Awesome video!! Adam,you worked well with Jake and camera girl!!!!
If you keep this series going it might blow up, so good man!
😂 i was shouting the plug😂😂😂😂😂 watch all you videos man... enjoy
This one had me smiling the whole time. My favorite episode you have ever put out. So glad you could make it happen for this guy.
I know this new format is more taxing on you and your "crew" but, it was great. Your typical style is just as good but this was a treat. Thanks for all the work you do. Your videos are such appreciated.
I really like the idea of you going around and interacting with subscribers and taking a shot at fixing their bikes. It's very entertaining to watch.
You might be onto something with this series. I enjoyed that episode. Thanks!
Wow! From a diagnosis, to complete teardown with case splitting, repair, engine rebuild and all parts slapped back on AND a successful test run all in just a DAY is mind blowing to me! Awesome job!
Looking forward to more of these please!!
Love it!
Yeah it was a busy day! Couldn't have done it without Adam and Jen. Glad you enjoyed the video!
You found the secret recipe.... This new format was so fun to watch. Keep up the great work Jake and Camera Girl!
Glad you liked it! Appreciate the comment.
Two words: awe-some!!! Bring more of this stuff, please.
I already like this series! Good idea.
Thanks!
Might just be my favorite Jennie’s garage video of all time. Seriously, I loved this video. It had everything. Camaraderie, technical, little drama, humor, and a happy ending. MORE MORE MORE.
Thanks very much for the compliment. Making this video had some new challenges, but it was a terrific experience.
The banter between you, camera girl and Adam was just intoxicating! Can't wait for more videos like this.
Wow, you are genuinely a natural at both fixing anything and staying entertaining.
This was so cool to watch. The guest was great too! Very friendly guy.
Im very ok with more videos like this :D
I have a friend who bought a 98 kx 250 new back in late 97. He brought it to my house straight from the dealership. At the time it was by far the most powerful 250 engine in the low to mid rpm range that I had even ridden.
Yeah they are great motors, lots of grunt.
Love the new format. And I really identify with the feeling of being new to mechanics and not knowing what you're doing. I'm still there, actually.
Glad you liked it!! We are all new and inexperienced in something.
This format is awesome! Watching Adam's face light up when he was finally able to ride his machine was great. I think working on random machines in the wild really showcases Jake's experience and knowledge. I look forward to more of these episodes in the future.
This is a wholesome overload. So many good vibes and a win at the end. Keep up the amazing work!
Loved this video. I’m really glad you did this.
Love the concept of helping someone learn their way through their project. Super positive, educational. I’d love to see more of this.
Glad you liked it, and thanks for the comment!
Man what a great guy Jake is going out of his way to help out a stranger that’s awesome
This is great! However, i love all your stuff! But, wow! Way too start off with a banger! Seriously, a one day engine tear down and put back together. You two are great mechanics.
Love the new format, Jake's acts of kindness, and that it's never going to be the same video twice. Jake's troubleshooting skills thoroughly impressed me! Mad new respect for the channel, this was so much fun! Love y'all!
This was just fantastic, great honist folk helping great honist folk! You fellas looked like old mates working together! A great memory for you all, and a great change of format on the channel, top job jake and camera girl👏👏 all the best from accross the pond👍
That was brilliant, I was impressed how quickly you zeroed in on the issue.
That was a great video and you could see the smile on his face to hear that run like it was supposed to.
I think this is a great idea for episodes, really enjoyed this one!
honest to god i love when this channel uploads
That’s the cleanest t shirt ever on Jake 😂😂😂😂😂, all cleaned up lol. My favorite TH-cam couple.
I was smiling the whole video, really love these repair videos
Glad you enjoyed it. I was smiling as I was editing it. Usually when that happens it means the video will be good.
Being a Yamaha guy I was wondering why you were splitting the case to replace the left side oil seal. And then... You explained it. Great job!!!
Yamaha knows how to design an engine unlike kawi lol
Just great! I was smiling with these two guys when they succeeded with the repair. There’s nothing else like people helping each other.
Had three other video notifications from earlier this morning. Jennie's pops up and i go to it 1st!
Dude this is an awesome theme for videos. I was so happy for you all when it ran well. The joy was palpable.
These mechanical adventure videos with the camera girl commentary is what originally got me subbed. I'm glad it's back.
Amazing! Congrats on the colab!
Jake / Jennie, what a great video. Your smile says it all. I thought I would like the new format, but it is better than I expected. I hope you enjoyed this new content.
Great format, and Jake your perception and problem solving were right on. Great camera work as well. It won't be long before we will be saying "I can remember when the subscribers were just 347K".
Jennies Garage is a true gem! Wholesome, genuine, and just plain fun. Simply could not stop myself from grinning ear to ear. It just goes to show that with a little help from a friend, any mountain is a mole hill. I really hope we get to see a few more like this one.
That was an epic day of tinkering. You guys made him so happy.
I like this format too 👌
I love this format. I don't know how you're going to keep it going... Is every customer going to have a problem as unlikely as "air in the crankshaft"?
I love that you're trying something, iterating on the proven formula. This is going to lead to big things!
This is a great first video in this series! Adam fits right in.
Thanks! Yeah Adam is awesome.
Dude! This has to be one of your top ten videos of all time! I really enjoyed watching. Nice work Gentlemen and Lady!
Thank you!!
The Travelling Mechanic is a great format. Keep going in this direction.
One of the best things I’ve watched on TH-cam in years. The beginning of a new chapter for Jennies Garage!
Adam was great. I don't think most viewers will be this helpful for entertainment but I don't care.
One of the best videos you guys have done in ages!! Well done. Love it. My favourite channel on TH-cam for sure.
This show is a hit my friend…. Love the “I just show up and make it work out” behind this.
That was awesome definitely do more of these!
i love this new style of video! cant wait for the next one! its amazing how well you can diagnose a bike like that and how fast you can fix it without ever seeing it before
Cool beans. I’ve been watching this channel for years now, I hope to see it finally take off and get the recognition it deserves. I honestly enjoy all of the videos this channel puts out, no matter the format. I was a little concerned during the hiatus a while back, but it’s awesome to see you two making content regularly again. I wish you two the best of luck!
Hell of a shift for the first attempt with the new format, you absolutely smashed this. Look forward to many more videos like this in future! Great job.
I DEFINITELY think this needs to be a series!
Alls I’ve got to say is I’ve been watching for over a decade, the large termite video .
Glad to see you’re still on here . I’ll
Admit over the last few years I’ve been slacking on watching but I’m
Back baby.
Great series
I love this style of video. It's very original to go to viewer's houses, and giving them a hand. I love it.
honesty this idea of going around and working on other peoples bikes is amazing! cant wait for more!
This was a joy to watch from start to finish, as your videos usually are! Seldom do I see a sub one hour fix-it video where there is zero filler and you GOT IT ALL DONE IN A DAY! Well done and I hope to see more from Jennies Garage.
Love this style!!! You put a ton of effort into the repair as well. Couldn't stop watching!!
I love this concept. I am sure it doesn't need to mean that every single video has to be like this but I think it is refreshing to see how you are able to help out other people, and maybe show us a bit of the countryside and geography along your journey too. Thanks for a brilliant channel.
TH-cam history!! I was skeptical on this new way of JG, but I was wrong awesome video. I was smiling ear to ear seeing the bike running and fixed you guys are so amazing.
Man, I searched e channel because it's been a couple years since I've seen any videos. Great to see your still at it And made it through that ruff patch you were going through.
One of my favorite episodes yet! Y'all are too kind!! This was super fun!!! :)
Loved this! Your kindness to share your expertise and help out your fellow man is heartwarming. And the satisfaction it clearly gave you made it that much more enjoying to watch. I can see finding projects in a reasonable distance possibly being tricky, so even if this series doesn't last, I'm hope you're enjoying the experience as much as I am watching it.
I really like the new format, so much potential for strange/entertaining situations.
been subbed for years, love your channel. this format is a home run
I absolutely loved this new vidio concept, its always great to see like minded people helping like minded people out and working together, love this one guys ❤
Well done. This series will be a treat to watch as well.
Great video! Hair blowing in the breeze, camera girl laughing, happy “customers”! Love it.
New format of can we fix it is amazing!
Great video! You both enjoyed the challenge, set aside egos, kept the humour light and Camera Girl chimed in with her wonderful comments as well. You may not always hit a Homer but keep swinging and we’ll keep watching!
I used to watch your videos a year or two ago and loved your channel, but one day I stopped watching and later couldn’t find the channel when I thought about you guys but couldn’t think of the channel name. Luckily this video popped up on my feed and I instantly subscribed so I can always find it. Love what you’re doing. Keep up the awesome work!
Glad you found us again!
That was a fantastic video. Absolutely hands down a great job helping that guy out. You guys rock.
Well-done man!!! From where you were a few years ago and where you are now! You can be absolutely be proud of yourselfs!! Keep up the good work enjoy every video!
The new format is giving people the opportunity to meet you guys and learn some new things. Of all the TH-camrs out there, Jake is the one person I'd love to sit down with and pick his brain. He's great at explaining everything and make it understandable for us normal folks. Thanks for everything you guys do for us! We'll continue to support you through your endeavors, wherever they made lead you!
P.S. I can't wait to get me a JG hat!!!
Thank you for the wonderful compliments! Appreciate the support.
The smile and expression on your face when he took off was amazing you looked so happy I think you have made the right choice in your new venture good luck and keep the videos coming
I love this channel so much. The vibe is immaculate.
I love the new format Jake!! Anything you and your family posts, is solid gold. 👌
It must feel so good for that bike to sit there for a long time and now it’s running. Good job
Adam seems like an awesome guy. Love the new format! Keep up the hard work!
I thoroughly enjoyed this new format and would love to see more like this mixed in with your regular style of content. Well Done.
Jennie’s garage just popped back up for me after years even being subscribed. So happy
ive just started watching your channel and watched your tri bike video and didnt even realize it was from 5 years ago, love this content man learn so much
Kudos!!! Good one guys!!! The smile on both your faces and the sound of that two stroke ripping was so worth the days work!
Awesome job. More more more!!!
Yeah great end to a great day
I haven't watched some of your videos in a while, never disappointed when I click on a video, explanations are always as clear as day. 🎉
Loved the old format, love this one even better! Impossible to watch this without smiling at the end, keep em coming guys! :)
WoW... this was absolutely epic guys. I know there's a lot more work that has gone into this than what you guys could show on video but I'm stoked at how you just tackled it head on. An engine split in one day. 🤯 (mind-blowing)
You made things look so easy...
You took a leap of faith and I'd 100% say it's working, good for you guys
This absolutely worked. I think a large part of it has to do with the fact that you and Adam seem to work together well. That really made the whole concept work.
Yes Adam was fantastic! Couldn't have got this all done in a day without him.
This was really fun to watch, can't wait for more! You guys are awesome
Very cool. Glad you were able to help him out and get it running right. Good luck on any future traveling adventures.
Definitely one of your best videos yet. All of your on-location projects probably won't be winners, but this format definitely is! Hope it catches on!
Glad you liked it! And I agree it won't always come out like we expect/hope. But hopefully that will keep it interesting.
Jake is a master and shares his amazing knowledge in such a clever casual and always funny way along with priceless Jen
loved the new format guys... Really enjoyed this!!!
cool video. a lot of work went into the rebuild. respect.
What a great format. As usual, very educational, and also entertaining!
Love the going around helping people format! Pretty cool!! Great job!!
