Joe, been watching you for 2 or 3 years now and I’ve only commented a couple of times. But you have extraordinary patience and are also very even tempered! I have noticed (since yt started rotating comments) just how stupid and rude many of the comments are, very poor! I am a retired Navy Captain, you are a good young man!
Spot on sir.

I don’t question his character or patience, just his techniques!
@@jamesweaver9636U can give your inputs but at the end of the day it's up to him if he listens,I hate him revving cold bikes but at the same time it's his so he can do what he wants
Agreed, Joe comes across as a really good guy. He has a great voice and sounds exactly like my best friend from years ago, who was an excellent mechanic. We used to ride and wrench our bikes together, and I'd get on his case for doing the same ignoring-good-ventilation stuff I see Joe doing in his videos...and died from cancer just before the pandemic. Hearing Joe speaking almost brings tears to my eyes at times, I still miss him most every day and every time I watch one of Joe's videos. So I can't help but nag Joe about it.
I don't even ride, but once I found this channel, I've been watching for like a week straight. I can say I'm pretty sure I know how to rebuild any dirt bike now😅
Agreed. This is why I will always stick to 2 strokes. It’s pretty simple and straightforward, and actually fun to work on. Most 4 strokes are a big pain to work on, and you really get frustrated at them. Plus, I can’t give up the power valve. It feels like a nitrous shot once it kicks in. Gives you an adrenaline rush every time!
In addition to your mechanical abilities, I believe your patience and calm demeanor are two huge assets.
Patience is key to being a good mechanic. Without it, you're just screwing yourself by unnecessarily breaking stuff.
Aaprt from not warming the bikes up before revving the nuts off them..
@gwl78 hahah, the torture reaches all corners of the comments
What abilities?? Where?
There’s nothing better than the smell of 2-stroke in the morning. I think you probably have the cleanest pickup truck bed in all of Wisconsin.
90's 2 stroke engines always sound like pure music 🎶
They sound like an angry hornet. Lol. I'm a 4 stroke guy. But the 2 strokes sure can move 👍
@@robinbrowne5419 I couldn't believe the CR500 has got more torque than a modern 450 4 stroke.
@@bobdillon1138 Every KX500 or CR500 I ever saw had a broken rear fender from flipping over.
@@bobdillon1138 But that's only a 125.
You should give us a shop tour; a basic overview of your setup there, what tools you find are most useful and maybe a few hacks you've unlocked over the years you've been doing this.
I second this
You can't beat reving the nuts out of a fresh top end rebuild
...and free revving at that...icing on the cake
He does it every time without fail, he never warms them up before revving the nuts off them. It really baffles me.
@@gwl78 break them in how you intend on using them. not rocket science, done it with all my bikes no issues.
He is a hack
Heat cycles man, will run leaner from the cold probably not the best conditions to rev it up straight out the box .. but hey each to their own and open that door up before you fire up bro cracks me up every time 😂 another good vid though 🤘
Glad to see some of the projects getting finished up!!
Wow a basically honest seller. That's a rare thing for your videos. Nice to see this getting back out there love Suzuki.
Something so good about a new top end and breaking it in, great stuff again.
I enjoy all of this kids videos but he's literally the only bike mechanic I know of that can do a full rebuild on an engine and it looks dirtier after he's done than before he touched it! 😂
To be as HALF full of energy as Vinny is.. what a great dog! What a great friend!
Love the full teardown and rebuild video….bringing a classic 2 stroke back to glory.
Another great rebuild, Joe👍🏻... BUT, the best part of this vid was watching Vinnie chasing snowballs!! 🤣 Nobody on TH-cam has more juice than Vinnie!!!
Good afternoon love to see you completing the build
She’s a little ripper! That snow was a real test and she came through - obviously been built by an expert! 👍❤️😎✅
Babe wake up new 2 vintage video
Great vid bud!! Warms the heart seeing another survivor Suzuki 2 stroke.
a rare 3 kicker....i was getting used to the "fired right up" 150 kickers
I always enjoyed riding in the snow. Even when I fell, I never got hurt. We would make a flat track in a field like you have and race around for hours. Great job.
I'd forgotten just how good these little ripper's are, nice job
Your dog always brings a smile to my face.
He's a good dog
You do a great job of explaining everything. Long videos are easy to watch because of the information but also because of the lack of ego to hear yourself talk which you do NOT do but it turns people off so kudos brother.
I always try to learn something new each video. That and count how many unsuccessful kicks before it starts.
Ol' Joe loves his dirt bikes. Good looking cycle, now let's tear it apart. Keep up the hard work. 😭April snow here in Minnesota also. Who thought Ol' Joe was going to get smoked by the tanker truck pulling out onto the street.
Can't get enough of this channel. It's great to watch, always!
I had that same year suzuki...was a 250 but was one of my all time favorites. That one is pristine!!! Great video once again!
I fully rebuilt a 99 rm250 a year or two ago. Really wish I didn't sell it but I'm 5'6 and it was ALOT of bike for me haha
Love the sound of the 2 strokes! I bought a cr250 Honda brand new in 2000, it was an absolute scary animal of a bike.
Joe, as a general rule it's considered best practise to initially fill a rebuilt engine
with just water. After you know the build is good, drain and refill with appropriate
coolant/antifreeze/water level. Saves wasting lots of expensive coolant mix.
Love your channel BTW.
I always do a thin layer of grease around the filter where it meets the airbox. I also add a coating of 2 stroke oil on the powervalve parts when re-assembling.
Love 2 stroke MX bikes. Nice work. 👍
This guy helped me gain a lot of knowledge on these bikes I just bought a Yamaha blaster yfs200 and he’s videos very much helped thank you 🙏👍
It's a runner, amazing!!! Never a doubt.
Couple suggestions. There are a few companies that Replate cylinders. Replate being new Nikasil Plating. These cylinders are not steel bores. They are Nikasil Chrome
plated. The service typically cost under $300 including shipping to and from. Power Seal and Millennium are two companies that come to mind. Your cylinder comes back looking brand new and the bore is 100% to spec. Much better than an expensive used cylinder.
Second your not supposed to hone Nikasil Cylinders as the coating it very thin and hard and most standard hones won’t created usable cross hatch. A Diamond hone is needed.
Some other advise I would give since I’m assuming your flipping these bikes is that I would use Namura Piston Kits. They are very good pistons, come with or without gaskets and are priced very good.
On this build you probably would have saved $200
Man you seem knowledgeable on cylinders but why would he do the cylinder the right way just to put a shit piston in it?. Joe's reputation is worth more than the savings between Namura and Pro-X, he doesn't have to be scummy to make a profit. Don't get me wrong, I buy chinese parts but not for my big bikes. My PW80 that I use for tool/beer runs (shed to garage, not to the store) has a namura cylinder and piston on it and it already looks like shit with about 6 hours on it. That bike makes like 4.79hp, I'd hate to see what a Namura does in a real engine.
The cylinder was shot dude pieces missing out of it at the edge. He may have been able to re sleeve it but re coating what was there is just a waste of time.
@@staygold902 It's not a sleeve It's plating
It's not nickel chrome plating It's nickel carbide composite It's the only thing on the planet that's harder than it is diamond that's why they go through so many rebuilds before replating is needed
@@baitmaster8706I’m sorry but don’t put proX in the same sentence as namura lol proX are legit and backed by even some former pros. I’ve been running a proX top end kit for a bit now on my 2000 rm250 . No a class racer but also no slouch lugging around foulin plugs . Everything else I agree with what you said . But proX is legit,
Joe, you do good work.
You can tell you are married to a teacher. Haha
You choose your picks well.
Us GenX guys really like seeing these bikes and machines of our time.
The car wash place must really love your business! You almost always stop by there to wash your equipment after a ride at the land.
I try to watch your stuff man cause like my self I’m a motorcycle mechanic but some thing you do just blows me away. I think you need to read break in procedures for two strokes for starters.
Vinny loves the snow 🐶
Joe, you're one tough bastard - riding a bike in that weather you have to be! Thanks for posting and a pat for Vinnie please.
3 inches of heavy, wet snow in Granville MA.Wed.
Great looking bike, Joe.
What a GREAT DoG!
I agree he is of good character. 👍
I just know he should clean before during and after.
You can hear the grate of the grit & grime, on reassemble.
I just think why go through all that trouble.
Plus the running in time is none existent.
Vinnie sure loves those quads ha ha
Great job! Really cool snow riding , the sound of a 2 stroke is music to my ears. A long time ago I had a Suzuki PE175, I miss that bike, your videos bring back fond memories, thanks!
Super stoked on this bike! It sounds so crispy! No better sound than a two stroke ripping🤙
BadAss upload, Joe. somehow you showed & told more, rebuilt a rippin RM, chored, threw mixed-fuel-scented snowballs to 2Vini & stayed alive in an mx race bike snow romp rip. nice work & happy Spring ‘24, Dude
40:32 Vinnie snow dumping 😂
Dr. Weber saves another! Annnnnnnnd, Vinnie is such a happy individual! Love how Vin gets all excited and goofs off.
Curious if the ring has one side tapered...
Oh Vinny gets excited when you fire em up😁
Its about that time for us to see a new shop/barn build for all the toys you have.
I've never been a fan of Rm's. But, after watching you rebuild it, Firing it up(sounds super tight and crispy) and giving it a rinse. I'd definitely buy that bike. Excellent work
I like how you are you and not trying to be something your not. Ordinary people do Extraordinary things.
Man, I miss riding in the snow like that! I moved from the Midwest 20 years ago ... no snow in Phoenix, AZ
This was me as a teen after school or on weekends. We use to ride on ice too. Almost all dirt bikes back then were 2 strokes. LOL good time.
Vinny is a Rockstar!
Thank God! That the cylinder nut didn't fall all the way down into the crank case! Below the crank!!!!
Again, super good job on diagnosis and repair....thank you for all the effort you put in to make this video...
I watch your videos all the time I am amazed at how smart you are with these engines. You have great patience. Do you sell these after you fix them?
Still getting snow in Ontario 🇨🇦🤟
Yup its crazy here we started getting snow the first day of spring
Same here in Western Massachusetts. First sleet then snow. My son who just purchased himself a 1989 Pontiac Trans Am GTA had to park it and go back to his Subaru POS.
Been watching you for a long time,love your channel. I look forward too your videos.
Glad im finally seeing you wash your parts joe!
Another awesome video, love the 2 stroke videos. Grew up on early 90's Honda CR's really miss my 250.
You should definitely look into a parts washer, harbor freight has a pretty nice one for $130. I'm actually thinking about picking one up myself soon. Nonetheless keep up the good work!
I suggested the same. I loved mine, plus it was a helluva lot easier than dealing with a bucket of soapy water with your knees grinding into concrete.
Agreed, it would be a nice shop upgrade, and then Joe will get even more comments berating him every time he doesn't use it! 😂
Been suggesting that for Years Now?! 😁
Dude, snow riding, you are my Hero!
BRAVO, your knowledge and patience are amazing. Sounds great, nice day for a ride
lmao
Thanks for putting these videos out there, I find them very interesting. I was curious about that lift stand you use for your bike, It looks useful just wondering what brand it was. Have a good day sir.
The powerband on the 99s can be adjusted by the screw on the left side of the cylinder I go 1 1/4 with it you can go a little more or a little less than 1 turn you can feel the difference when you hit the powerband its all a preference! ive had this bike since 99 & its still in my garage in 2024
Happy Days Joe Has Posted 🔥🔥🔥
just sold my 2002 RM250 that was in a crate all this time and sold it for 12 grand..luv ur videos
Sounds great out there, awesome echo!! Love those bikes.
The wee dog is full of energy hes cute 👍🏻
Nice job as always,pet Vinny for me!!
Brilliant video Joe watching from Edinburgh Scotland UK 🇬🇧 👏 👍
No parts cleaner solvent tank even I have one why don't you got one
I wondered same thing, with all the rebuilds he does 😅
Dude drives me nuts that he doesn't clean engine parts. Wipes them off with a paper towel and calls it good. 😂
Lift would help too.
He's a chancer it's all set up for him He never gets them running properly, all he lusts for more subscribers and more views. A bit like Trump.
@@michi_danksta I think he does it on purpose, just to piss-off the viewers.
It’s detonating from being to lean piston is very lean by the look of carbon pattern
So they were running the mix to lean? Is why it’s all black ? Wild
Main jet too small
@@offroadenthusiasts yes 👍
@@jakeslouw3416 correct but it could be needle or pilot lean
@@jakeslouw3416 so tell me why I rebuilt a kdx 200 correctly by spec and when I started it it instantly popped really loud as soon as it fired and never ran again didn’t tear it back apart bc I was too pissed 😤 😂
Hey man where is your milk cow? I thought that everyone in Wisconsin owned at least one! Hehe!
Great job man bike sounds great live the sound of a125 2smoker
Them engines from back in the day sound like heaven ❤😊
Another fantastic job my friend. Congrats
You motivated me to get 2 bikes already and am fixing up a 85 honda 200 trike
Love your content and in depth repairs.
That honer is only for steel sleeves. With Nikasil (ceramic lined) -it will just wreck the surface and expose the soft aluminum.
Pretty sure Joe knows what he's doing by now....
@@1965l88 Anybody who actually knows what they're doing can see he still has a lot to learn. Which is fine, but he often ignores good advice in the comments.
He’s talked about that in multiple videos he already knows
Great videos as always as a 50 yr old marine thats raced and fixed hundreds of drag ,dirt and quads i see your real good at this stuff stay humble and honest like you are and youll go a long way in life!
love those 2 stroke dirt bike sound! wake up some memories from my youth
A+ content man good job ⚙️💪🏽
Always knowledgeable and helpful I always enjoy your videos very kool to see you grow as you did very proud of your bro.
Great video old school 2 stroke power and simple rebuild why would anyone want the modern 4 stroke junk.
Thanks for the upload. Your channel is the best for hands a hands on learning “how to”. Appreciate the effort u put into sharing.
I would love to know if and where he sells his stuff!
Parts washer - lol! Yeah those RM's parts are getting hard to come by. Good video - keep it up.
Good to see the bumble bee has her sting back!
You should seriously consider purchasing yourself a quality parts washer. Not only are they much easier to use than a bucket of soapy water, but they do a much better job. It only takes a few minutes to clean even the nastiest of parts, and you don't have to do it on the floor on your hands and knees. Once you start using one, you'll wonder how you ever got along without it.
What’s a good link to one?
Do you recommend ultrasonic cleaners
@@nerdxmayozz128 I never used one personally.
@@randomguy1807 I couldn't tell you. I've had mine forever now. I purchased it directly from my parts supplier.
@@stkyfngrszmooth Darn.
hi i am paul from the uk, your vids are amazing your one hell of a mehcanic keep em comming but can i ask, a while ago you did a vid on a goldwing, and many other bikes do you ever sell them on, if so how much did the goldwing go for just curious as in england even bad ish ones are going for silly money thanks guy keep up the good work
I'm learning ton from you! Keep it up. Also how long until your house on the 50 acres is complete?
@2vintage - I wish you would check the compression after the first ride.
Awesome ride and rebuild! If I lived in your area I would be buying this bike from you. I have too many now as it is though.
The king of cold revs.
Great job as usual, I feel sorry about your neighbors. These bikes really loud.
What a beautiful bike. Great build. What does that power valve rod connect to? Is it throttle position? Do they restrict the exhaust for some reason?
Great as always Joe
I really like this one. Working on rebuilding a 2000 rm125 right now. I just wished I could afford another cylinder for mine. She's toasted. Great vid. I enjoyed it. It would be nice to see it rip without the snow.😂
Send it away and get it repaired!
@taylormarsh7854 yeah I talked with mellinium technologies about fixing it up for a 134cc kit. I think it will run me somewhere around $600 with the piston kit. I just got to wait for my bonus to hit first...lol.
Not a bike guy but love watching the channel. Shaun from Ireland
