Thank you for all the support!
In all honesty that RM125 should be very RELIABLE Joe. It was def NOT taken care of by previous owner. I believe they probably tried run straight gas in machine..as you said. Sad. 90s RMs are supremely reliable when taken care of. Hope it works out well 4ya.
Wow after carb clean she fired up quick & strong! #RMpower
For what you paid for it
You got a good deal
The bike Just need some tune up
And of you go
Great deal
Cheap as chips
Yhh I think I will hold up its running beautifully now mate 👍
Why I really love your channel I'm so glad you made a TH-cam cuz you're so knowledgeable with these bikes and these wheelers.. Love the channel please keep it up 2 vintage all day long.. this channel rocks much love and God bless
I wouldn’t adjust idle with the throttle cable. Basically that acts like moving the needle clip down. You want that sleeve to bottom out when you release the throttle and let the needle position decide how rich or lean it is. That can mess you up during tuning. That’s probably why you had to bring the needle clip position up more. Just food for thought
Don't adjust your idle with the cable. It will change when you steer and be super unstable. Otherwise, sweet bike man.
I'm going to be 59 years old next week and I've been working on dirt bikes mini bikes go-karts for a long time young man is doing a good job you remind me of me working for yourself figuring things out without working for someone else good for you I tilt my hat to you Steve from Annapolis Maryland
Dude you've got to stop reefing on the throttle when you crank up these bikes cold or straight after a rebuild, not good for the engine at all !
Do not adjust your idle with the throttle cable, and your gonna blow up that bike, you haven’t even broken it in and your beating on it, and not running right
Please stop setting ur idle with throttle cable dude, come on man ur rebuilding engines etc but that is an amateur way of sorting idle out imo..
You know I’ve watched enough of these rebuild videos by now and I’ve never rebuilt a carb mind you but when it was having trouble starting my first thought was pilot jet. I guess I’m learning a thing or two. Lol.
10:31-----2-stroke engines will oil up sparkplugs when ran in an unloaded condition. Take it out and play with it, should clean right up!😎
18:34-----Your crank seals are fine, otherwise it would idle way lean and/or smoke bigtime. I'd say power valve issues offhand if it doesn't clear out.
If it were me, I'd put a 175 mainjet in it(172 being stock), and drop pilot jet size at least one down to a 38 and see how it runs, should clean up on the bottom and run even harder on top. Also drop jet needle one or two notches as needed.
NEVER EVER adjust the idle with the throttle cable it will accelerate when you turn the handle bars, very dangerous, and running it oil rich (40:1) will make it run lean and have terrible low end, run a quality mixing oil and correct fuel and you should be all set bub. oh and for the love of rods learn to shift lol.
Calm down gramps. He Litterly rebuilds bikes for a living. He’s fine
@@HazrdHazrd hate to tell ya but robert.is right he doesn't know to shift
@@ianclark1287 obviously he does
@@ianclark1287 it’s the idol boging out not his shifting skills bro
@@ianclark1287 maybe not to motocross standards but this mans riding on a farmland 🤡
FYI, too much oil actually gives you a lean fuel/air ratio (more oil = less fuel). The crank should be just fine if you sent it to someone who knows what they are doing.
Wow I'm glad you aren't working on my bike!
So you think 32:1 is leaner than 50:1?
@@splif7773 yes, you have 3 components, AIR, FUEL and OIL, the more OIL you add, the higher the air to fuel ratio, therefore more lean. It will burn smokey, but that is just the oil burning off. The air/fuel ratio will be lean. I am not making this up. You should run the recommended oil ratio for your engine.
Keep in mind you're used the case gasket with sealer too , I've had it happen twice that that gasket didn't seal and the gear oil was getting into the cylinder and it was burning it .
Exactly sucking air
After watching more of your videos, I had no doubt that you'd figure out what was wrong. You're teaching me something new every time I watch. Thanks again for your time and videos.
I these guys saying "it's dialled in sweet bro" 😂😂it's running like a bag of shite!
I gotta ask...How do your parents neighbors feel about your testing? It's gotta make 'em crazy
I was thinking about the owner of the land he rides in. Those woods are somebody else's land. Im sure the neighbors knew they were still not buying a farmette and that its still going to be annoying neighbors, just not so many. I wonder why the parents bought that junk instead of buying a real farm?? Defeats the purpose of being secluded
G'day Joe mate the RM is wicked sounds great you going to keep it?
Let's rev it! !! Lol until we blow a skirt off! !!
Thanks for putting yourself out there easy for everyone to take shots when they’re not the one on camera keep going man we need more Chanel’s with this kind of content and thanks for keeping the comments up it’s nice to see people correcting mistakes so we can as well cheers 🍻
For real. Everyone is quick to criticise. He's not pretending to be a pro circuit factory mechanic, he works in a dirty garage. Stuff isn't perfect but whatever, he does his thing. I would say that there is often some good advice in the comments that would help him do better.
Not a good way to break in a engine.full throttle!all the way.wont last long.
I always break them in how they’re going to be ridden. They run them wide open at the factory right after they build them anyway.
He has no idea.
That was a great tuning video. Nothing says "send it" like a screaming 2 stroke!
Good job,but don't adjust your idle up at the throttle,that adjustment is so you have a little slack in the cable for when you turn your bars lock to lock.if it won't adjust right on the carb,something else is wrong.
Gonna cold seize
Sounds like a bad ass Suzuki 2 stroke, great job.
Pretty much dialed! Although still rich on the pilot circuit. Go down two sizes. I think you said you had a 45 in there? Try a 42 in there.
He said 40 😂
@@Cole_slow 😬my ears don’t work so good anymore. 2 stroke high revs getting to me ✌🏼
I love the 96-98 RMs! I hate that parts are hard to get for them. Why you can find more parts for a 70s mx bike than a mid 90s bike really bugs me.
Love those. Bought a 97 for $400 years ago. Guy said wouldn't crank but I got it fired up but it sputtered w no power. Cleaned carb and it ran like a bat outta hell ever since. So fun. But eventually some loser stole it outta my backyard.
Adjusting the cable is to be used for throttle freeplay ONLY. Good way to get someone killed having the cable too tight when they turn. Only adjust the idle with the idle screw on the carb. Adjust air screw for highest possible idle, then richen a tiny bit, then adjust the idle accordingly. Ride mid throttle and listen to the bike youll know if its too lean or rich on the needle setting. In your case your needle is way too lean. Drop the clip to raise the needle back where it was. If that dont work youll need a different tapered needle. Do a wide open plug chop on a new spark plug to check the main jet. Should be a coffee color. Jetting is super easy when you understand it.
I wish you a lot of luck with the bike.. I'm glad you don't ride it on the city streets with 25 other guys in-and-out of traffic and like 90% of the bikes are stolen like a bunch of buffoons.
your ring tone always scares me lol 😂
Run back and forth on the road, and around your parents house on flat grass isn't testing dirt bikes. Take your bikes to the woods and the MX track.
who's gona tell him that warming a engine doesn't mean going full open throttle until it just goes? thermal shock gonna destroy that cylinder
Put the needle back and those 125s lower end suck at first
Check your reeds - they sound worn - 2 stokes really are not supposed to idle or you will get pulse rpm when you are decelerating -
Nicely done Joe, it is definitely a skill to correctly diagnose a 2 stroke...and it seems your becoming a bit of a master. Very entertaining videos, thankyou.
Good job Joe still waiting for that harley project
Straight after a full rebuild I would say you are way over revving it. Go steady on it :)
its a two stroke doesnt matter
Yes even on a 2 smoker try go half throttle or stay in lower gears billy.
Agreed it is recommended to brake-in any engine after a complete rebuild.
@@samac_schnitzers3454 kahesti lämpimäks ja vetoja
@@IDKLIFE69 mate a 2 stroke needs to be broken in
it would 100% have been cheaper to get a second hand crank..
It almost sounds as if the plug is too cold, is that the right plug (check gap) ? maybe the pilot jet too
Adjust the powervalve to bring the power more into the bottom end and they are way easier to ride in the bush. I coudnt believe how good the top end power is in these little RM 125's
I have a Rn 250 man and a Rn 125 man the 125 is fast but a 250 will put you back can’t wait till you build your bike like my comments plz
Dude was that a new piston and ring? I hope not man, you know your suppose to take it easy with the rpm when running in right?🤣
bad reeds prob mine splutered like tht new reeds fixed it
You got that thing running good at the end.Keep reving it 💪🏻.I hate when people don't rev it enough.Some say learn to shift.I had a 88 dgy yamaha yz250 and I was revving it out till it stopped pulling and my dad said I need to rev it out more.So I did lol.It revved no further and did not ever give me an issue and I was the third owner after others had beat on it.It was supposed to be a DGY Yamaha/DGY motorsports race bike but no pro rider ever raced it so someone ended up buying it.Wish I still had it,that bike was fast 💪🏻
Better work on those shifts.
He's a hopeless rider, if he hasn't got it after all the years, he's never gunna get it.
@@thamenace9985 I agree 100% !
Not good to run a two stroke outta fuel.super lean.could lock it up
20:1 fuel oil ratio is what 2 strokes perform there absolute best good luck
They make peak power at 20:1 but not as fast of throttle response down low
I love your videos young dude. You got me itching to get a bike, its been years since i have rode
Do I see reach down and pull the choke. It started fine then u reach down and all of a sudden it's rich?
Lacking the power band punch, it’s not running good at all.
You not going to run it in then ?
Try 3% (32:1) fuel mix with good quality 2 stroke oil (Putoline etc) and get the ignition timing perfect. I guarantee an improvement in performance.
Only 20 mins in but move ur clip up a notch and lean it out. And always try and adjust idle off the carb. Hard to get a proper tune without carb slide all the way down
That's probably the best increase of performance I've watched out of all your videos. That bike is so much faster now
Great job your knowledge is impressive
Nice job! Love your parents neighborhood btw. You’re lucky to test everything out over there!
That's the wrong spark plug for that bike. The ignition on that bike fires 3 times every time the piston comes to top dead center and you have to use NGK R6918B-8. If you don't the electrode will break off and lock the motor.
Guy brought by a 90, XR 250. Wanted me to check carb out daid when he turned on the fuel it was running out of every orifice on it. I looke at fuel line. While was still in his trailer, he had fuel line connected to the vacuum port on the carb, i couldnt believe what i was seeing. I explained why he was an idiot the fixed it and put fuel ine in fuel port. Gee, it started and ran great. Wasnt gonna charge him but he gave a $50 bill. So sweet, Bought dinner!!! Love that little 125 RM. Nice looking bike!!! Great vid.
My mate got one of these rm125 for spares and put the barrel piston and head on the suzuki rg 125 Road bike and my yamaha tzr 125 would do 95mph with the power valve turned round and the rg125 was quicker 115mph from a 125 but he did have to change front sprocket 1 tooth bigger and ajust the exhaust to fit road bike. Lol in the days of when all young boys had 50cc and 125cc. Now they make them all 4stroke and wouldn't do anything over 70mph. Excellent work as them crankshafts are hard to do even with all the tools as the bolts aren't the same size when you put it back together again.
That little 125 i put the big bore kit in today was pushing up around 180lbs compression , fires right up, runs great tons of power through all 6 gears and its a 1980 model XL 125s.
Awesome job as always. I'm gonna start working on a 1973 Suzuki RT 185 is there anywhere I can get parts if needed?
Probably the rusty aluminum carb bowl at 3:25 clogging up the jets ☠️😬 you did stock jetting on a bike with a pipe, use pipe manufacturers jetting Recommendation, it’s not lean at the bottom it’s way fat
Everything is to rich according to him and his brother lol. I'm happy you have a passion for dirt bikes and rebuilding them. But for the love of 2 strokes get the proper tools for the job and stop doing half assed work. You seem to have plenty of knowledge but never fails from all your videos I've watch, I cringe at times watch you build these motors.
Why don’t you ride it on a proper track , instead of screaming up the road 🤷♂️🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻
very nice, i liked smoker in my country (balkan) this smoker is a 1700 eu i sell my cr250 96' 1500 very bad condition
Let you know jetting a carburetor changes with elevation a bike can be from 800 FT elevation to 6,000 FT elevation you have to change the Jets to where your elevation is where you live it's not just adjusting things there's more to it than that just to let you know I don't think you know that
Hi, I'm from Argentina and I can't get a carburetor for the suzuki rm 125, would you help me get it?
bro you gotta heat cycle them 2smokes after rebuild! do some plugs checks, she aint gonna last long just revving the piss outta it as soon as u start it, i know u wanna ride but damn man.
He did crank bearing not top end rebuild
Great to see it running right Joe just need a rm 250 next mate
Those rm 125s r hard to get set rite i had a 03 ran wicked for bit then would run shitty was all new motor n everything just always had a hard time n was always frigging with something on it
My 2002 kx125 is running a 340 main and a 50 polite I wonder why your mains only 100 and something
You choked the air from it, 1.5 turns is a standard place it will run then you fixed it by choking off fuel, it worked with a bit of luck
Did you use the crankcase gasket? The pressure probably blew the silicone between the cases and it’s leaking oil in the crank housing. Would explain it having a hard time getting to a high rev until it dissipates the oil in the case.
Adjusting the idle with the throttle cable is not how you should do it. Those adjusters are only for adjusting cable slack. You should have some play in your throttle, if you don’t chances are when you turn the bars it can raise the slide in the carb like your twisting the throttle because the cable has no slack. Adjust the idle using the idle screw that’s why they have that there lol some bikes have the idle on the choke nob, you twist the choke left or right to raise or lower the idle.
That's running terrible you never adjust the throttle idle screw while it's running shut it off open throttle up put in a little bit and that's just I don't high then slowly adjust it down to where you want it you put little marks on the slide and then they stick and they can stick wide open or higher RPM than what you want then you were in the slide then you have to buy new slide for carburetor and also like I said jetting is done by elevation you're great you're good but you still have a lot to learn
My 93 falls on its face has no take off and only gets faster as you move up the gears.. but first to 3 gear it wont get out of it's own way.. moter just screems and has no power.. not really sure what's wrong with it.. I got the bike running this way.
Those 125's are a hoot. Brap!
Why dont you get it? Dont twist the trottle, when you kick’ it cold.
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Why you scared to twist the gas when starting you sound like a botch It don’t overfill the bowl
He has no idea how to start a cold engine. He's been told a thousand times. Think's he knows it all, he knows fuck all.
Nice tinkering hehe ^^
You do know you dont need to let off the gas while shifting tho, right ? ;P Just pull the clutch and click it in ^^
Do not set idle with throttle cable . Power valves are trash . Clean the carbs better .
Would have though by now you could change gear man this is also not how to run a bike in ypure jetting is terrible
Also clean the ports and power valve I think it still has some gunk in the ports and on the power valve take the top end off get some oven cleaner and scrape clean with a knife I see a lot of people never clean these part's
well done,when i was watching,i was thinking to myself put the metal clip to the top of the needle like u did,i shouted out yes to myself.hey what another great video from london to u keep up the good vids
Great vid bro you should find a 85cc they are awesome to ride
Lovin' the Content. Educational. SUBBED! 🤟🤙
Still sputters a little when you first hit the throttle. Lotta guys back in the day used to bin those Keihins for a Mikuni Flatslide, and that low-end sputter usually disappeared. It's one thing if it's just a Trailbike, but when guys were racing them, that low-end sputter usually cost them the Holeshot, and that's why they swapped the Carb...
I just ditched my mikuni for a keihin lol.
The crank will go again if you keep abusing it like that. & something is still not right with the bike I can hear it.
Running better at the end but hesitation before the band is the problem still
you simply cant shift a single bike you have ridden...how hard is it?
I wanna see more suzuki rms 125 like a while ago when you used to buy with little failure and fix it
think your power valve is sticking and the air screw needs some adjustement, sounds fine once its opened up....apart from your iffy gear changes
He can’t ride for shit
Sounds like shit when he opens it up
Enjoyed the video keep them coming from team wales uk
Looks like the back shock is weak
Oh shit shoulda watched the whole thing u said same thing
Run that hard lean for to long, burn a hole in your piston. Sounds great!
Blessed is he that is fortunate enough to drive a rm bigger than 85🤞🏼
What happened to your buddy that you used to do videos with way back when?
Hola soy de Argentina y no puedo conseguir un carburador para la moto me podrías ayudar a conseguirlo?
jesus u dont have to sit there an hit the throttle like that when u fire it up thats super annoying
mclyn 3
I need a c d I. Box for 91 rm 125. Any recommendations
Thanks Joe this video helped me out big time! My 1996 does the same thing! Ill try bring the clip all the way up and try that. As of right now the old owner had in all the way down...
