- First time pulling the bike out in a few months. Tried to get it started a few weeks ago but did NOT wanna start. We spent some time cleaning her up and fixing a few easy things to knock off the list. Best birthday ever! Literally.. its been a long winter and I am really looking forward to spending some time in the garage.
A lot of good memories in that mud.. Quality is amazing man keep up the great work💪🏻
Thanks man! I appreciate it! I literally can’t wait for all that is to come. I’m motivated!
If you wash it before you abandon it for many months its always easier cleaning. Shut off the fuel petcock a few blocks from home. It drains the float bowl as you ride home and you will always have fresh fuel for starting next time.
Great TIPS! Thanks, I agree.. I have learned both of these the hard way haha.
Now I know thanks
My uncle used to shut off the petcock at the same spot on the way back home, and the engine was stopping while he had reached to the driveway. Note that he spent his entire life in the same house, and rode the same motorcycle from 1971 to 2013, until he passed away.
Great video man! Looking forward to more dual sport adventures! Next time you're in the Pony say hey. Feel like I haven't seen you in ages!
Thanks! I’m glad you liked it. I’m itchin to get back on the trails for sure! I’ll definitely stop by I haven’t been in pony in months it feels. Thanks for watching bro 🤘
Nice! Just picked up an XT225 last weekend, looks just like that one, but clean and not broken, lol...
Awesome! I really like the XT! It was super clean when I first got it but after wrecking it over and over it has held up extremely well!! It’s amazing for trail riding because the seat height is so low and tractors up the difficult parts but good pick! I’m lookin forward to learn a lot on the trails! Do you have any complaints?
@@SickofOhio None so far, like you said, low seat height and a tractor for sure. We got it for my wife but I knew I would be stealing it when I can....
Yeeeeeessssssssss........ Great vid man!
Thanks man! I had fun
hey man I have an xt225 it's the serow edition so it's white sick bike!
DUDE!! Thats amazing!! I had some of the best times learning on that bike. They have a HUGE fallowing across the US. Congrats bro!!
@@SickofOhio I know, it's caused me some stress though. want an actual dirtbike bc I want to ride motorcross. was going to sell the xt but I just can't do it lmao. idk why I just can't get my self to rid of the xt. live this bike so much
@@SickofOhio thanks for the reply! love the xt vids
Get some Seafoam (fuel additive). It’ll clean all that out.
YES! Thanks for the comment! I’ll pick some up! I appreciate it.
It doesnt take much, make sure to read the measurements on the bottle. I put it in all my bikes before winter hits to keep the gas from getting nasty. Hope it works bud!
Was it just the angle of the camera or are those handlebars bent af
yeah! They are pretty messed up. 😂 I don’t think the bars are bent I think the forks are twisted. I didn’t notice until I threw it on the computer lol
First
Sorry I was first.
I'd love to ride with you bro
I’m down!! You ride street or dirt!? I’m always riding around CBUS.
Hi, I have a 2001 xt225 and I am missing the philips head screws that
hold the airbox cover on, and I am also missing the bolt that you need
to remove from the plastic body piece to access the cover, would you be
able to find out those sizes for me? I am trying tog et my bike running
but I cant find them anywhere and I cant find this info online. Thank
you!
Hey man, sorry for the late reply! you can get a nuts and bolts kit for Yamaha or you can head over to Bikebandit.com to find the correct size / part#. If all else fails you can contact a local dealer and they should be able to order the exact part# from the manufacturer for no shipping cost. Good luck brother!
@@SickofOhio Hey guys just found your channel! I bought an 98 XT with 900 miles on for 950 about ten years ago and loved that bike! was just getting back into riding then so it was perfect. Always cold blooded unless it was 90 degrees outside so I let it run on choke for around five minutes then it was good . Used only non ethanol premium and a little marvel mystery oil in fuel and never once had to take carb apart in 9000 miles! Sold it last year to a buddy and I miss that old girl!! Cheers!
Also if you have not heard of it, check out XT225.com for good info and parts for these! RC
You can buy a Chinese bike for 1500 new or...
Buy a yamaha for a 700 - 1000 and put the diferens at reaper and costome
Plus you save a classic peace
Completely agree! Plus the reliability is nice and parts are easy to find.
