Your ability to create your videos has also been excellent - explaining what you do and why. Plus, listening how you analyse the problems and fix the problems is a masterclass in keeping our bikes humming. Thank you as ever.
I have to completely AGREE!!! I have a 1980 xl185s that eerily is almost in the same condition as the one in this rehab job! I really wish I had someone like you to help me get it back running??? I'm here in West Central Florida / Tampa Bay area in case you know anyone?? Thanks!
Great video's Cody, watched the whole series, love it! Good man! Inspiring.. Looked a little bit like that bike in first blood,expect that was a Yamaha I believe.😎 like your dog, bro. Greatings from Holland!
Great series mate, ill be tearing down and doing a full rebuild of at least one of these bikes, so this series has been invaluable. I have two available to me (for free!) One was dads old bike that he's had from new since 1981 which has sat for the better part of 3 decades but is complete, which I want to get running and restore for him. The other is a great donor bike for a project, missing most of the fenders and lights but should make for good bones for a more custom bike.
That's SO AWESOME that You'll be making it to the Vintage motorcycle days up in Lexington this year Cody! My wife and I,along with my 12 yr. old son have been going to that event for years! And Always enjoy seeing and hearing those vintage bikes racing around that track each year! What an event! So I truly hope to meet You and have a chance to shake your hand,as I've been following YOU on TH-cam here,for years also! As we BOTH own and ride identical Black Honda CB750's! So I look forward to seeing You there this year! LOVED watching You get this thing running again,and Oh your poor doggie,who just wants to be played with! Lol. Haha,as always Cody,great video! : >)
I think that engine came together quite nicely especially from where it began! I look forward to the final final riding video but thank you for sharing all the details you did! Take care!
Cody, can you do a quick review of the electrical system? I want to make sure all my connections are accurate. The electrical diagram is challenging to read through and make sure it's exact.
Hi Cody, thanks for your very detailed and instructive videos. Best ones out there. I have this same bike and was told I needed to adjust the pulse rotor-to-generator gap, as per the manual. I’ve been unable to find the manual online. Can you please share what that gap value is for this bike? Thanks!

Hello Cody, could share your thoughts on what is faulty in my bike its a 125cc Yamaha, problem am getting is it lacks power when climbing a gentle slope even with full throttle you can't feel the power of fuel burning inside the engine, but when going down the slope you can feel the bike accelerate and happy. I have cleaned the carb exchanged it with another and no different results. Just to let you know it doesn't have starting or idling issues. Any help or ideas on where to check much appreciated

I have a 1981 xl185 that has a spinning speedmoter, but the odometer works. I'm not sure what the problem is, do you have any suggestions?
