Buy a engine for it
Great vid,u cant save them all fella,but its great to try,and great to watch,at least u can part it out and move on to the next👍
Where the water pump shaft sits in the case looks bad
@@titletownclowns1545I was going to part it out, but I already sold the whole bike.
I want you to build this engine. I mean, we all know it's not worth it, but I want to really see what you can do when you build a really sweet bike. Like, powder coat the frame, make it look like a new type of deal. It's a shitbike already. You're only going to make your money back or a few hundred dollars exta anyway. Why no challenge yourself? I want to see you challenge yourself. I don't want every video of the project, so do like 1 week of project bike and the next one you find and back and forth. Do you burn us out.
I would buy it for 300 bucks also just to make a video. I enjoyed watching this for sure.
Just for fun and to see what's behind the cases. And what this engine & Co has endured and what the weaknesses are.
In this case : WILL IT RUN or WILL IT BLEND !!?? :)
Regards.
Depends on how much it costs to rebuild the entire motor plastics tires etc I'd imagine getting this bike back basically new would cost around 2 grand which wouldn't be a terrible deal considering you would know everything that needed to be is new and not going out buying a used bike and having to take a chance on it being a dud lol and costing ya loads more cash than ya bargained for 😂 Bikes are like boats and will all know what boat stands for
B Bust
O Out
A Another
T Thousand 😁
Im sure you can get this running because your a legend
Do a engine build series restore the bike and keep it!
Hey 2vintage, I am doing a full engine rebuild on a yz250f 2007 and need to know all the kits and parts for the engine. Can you tell me what parts and kits I need?
Was it stored in a lake for a couple years?
ok where in the hell do you find ANY yz250 for 300? lol Any yz, in almost any condition is going for triple, and thats in practically non running condition, or close to it. Any running, riding yz is at least 2000, and thats for a 25-30 year old one....at least in my area tht is
Probably went under water hydro locked an snapped the crank .
It angers me that you get such good deals on bikes where I live I couldn't even buy a bag of bolts for a YZ250 for $300
I hear you on this one. I'm in Massachusetts and bikes are expensive here even in this condition people would want around $1200. I been looking for years for a cheap project bike or quad and still haven't found one
Why don’t you concentrate on like x2 builds, and complete them,rather than a new one every episode just lately,as we want to see the build from start to finish 👍🏻
i think he waiting on parts
Fax
Because that’s what he wants to do
I love the early 90s dirtbikes with their retro styling. Once you get her cleaned up and running, I’d love to see you put the original graphics on it and clean the frame up. It would look amazing! Great buy, great video, as always! 🤙
Added that before I saw the insane amount of rust and engine damage. Yeah unfortunately I would part it out as well unless I had another yz250 project then I would make 1 good runner from both of them
retro styling was objective and functional. Not this abstract art from a transformers cartoon with arrow tips, (that not even the artist can explain), with a front fender that looks like a mechanical broken bird beak, and a rear fender that is so tall, pointing in the air, that you can't get a boot over it with out kicking it if you are 6 foot 2.
The 80's and half the 90's were "the age of reason" in MX. The crap we ride today, (sans how good a 4-stroke does hook up to the ground), is 100% dysfunctional. The entire industry is so irrationals today,---you guys are racing with a freestyle bar set up---and you can't corner worth a crap with out a berm. There was a MX movie in 1986 called "Winner takes all" (on YT), and that ugly 'Hurricane bike" is your modern styling today. I did a lot of plastic surgery on my 2019 YZ250 2-stroke, to make it a rational machine, instead a pile of worthless abstract art. That junk belongs in the garbage, like your handle bar set up. :)
So wish I could find a decent bike for 300 in the U.K. 😳🤦🏼♂️😂😂 another little gem from back in the day
Had loads of good bikes for 300quid you just gotta know where to look
Depends where in the country you are. Down here (south east) it's almost impossible to get more than a roller for 300 👎 even the crashed ex delivery Peds are ridiculously high priced..
Up north and Wales seems to be cheaper and more choice of dirt bikes and tourers etc
@@MaNNeRz91 I'm in Folkestone I picked up vfr800 for 280 and a fzr1000 for 300 got a ybr on 7k miles for 150 full history and one owner from new I know these are road bikes but if ya make a grand on something you paid 300 for and buy something you want then technically that would be a 300quid bike too
@@jordansbikes819 my problem is I'm looking for 125 or 172 registered as a 125. I haven't done my test yet and I want an off-road bike to ride the green lanes and bi-ways around Kent. If there weren't so many po po about on the trails I'd risk a bigger and more suited bike but Id rather keep it all legit and registered etc. I haven't looked at road bikes either but all the ones local to me are ex courier bikes or in absolute shambles. If I found a decent bike I'd jump on it though. I need something to tinker with over christmas
@@MaNNeRz91 save up and get a dt or kmx then mate deffo worth doing. I wouldn't get nothing with a big bore kits that someone has messed with unless you know the work has been done properly
Hey we all have been there, drive far to get a bike and boom it’s clapped then the owner thinks he has something special and gets insulted when you offer what it’s actually worth lol ridden hard and put away wet just like all my ex’s 😂😂
Man, either you’re really lucky finding and scoring these great deals on the regular or you’re exaggerating the deal a bit. Either way, good for you. I enjoy watching.
A deal? A rust bucket locked up mouse nest is a good deal? That thing might not even be worth $300.🤣🤣 I can't imagine the cost it would take to restore this bike to be nice.
You know instead of hurting your wrenches with a hammer try using 2 wrenches at the same time. Basically put the boxend on the nut then add the boxend to that nut and it will come right off!
They're spanners 👀
using a hammer and tapping lightly works pretty well with rusty bolts. Tight bolts deffo use a breaker bar or 2 spanners locked together though
@@MaNNeRz91 yeah definitely wanna tap em with a hammer to shock the threads
@@MaNNeRz91 you by any chance from New Zealand. I had a kiwi friend, only person until nowiv heard use the term spanner,??. But im also not a mechanic.
@@conservativerealist well a wrench ratchets... A spanner doesn't. And a breaker bar is a wrench that doesn't ratchet 😂😂
You have open end spanners and ring end spanners
Makes much more sense tbh lol
@@MaNNeRz91 sounds good😄thanks
I'll bet the engine was full of water and froze then cracked the block!! My guess the reason it was parked is because connecting rod bearings maybe???
Put it back up for sale and say I know what I got no low ballers
i mostly use diesel or kerosene to get old oils and dirt out and its good to use in stukk pistons also,and many who clean old lathe where is own oil chamber use kerosene also to get all out.
I would love to see it cleaned up and the casing welded... I know it's a big project but you can do it, and its great content!
Case is done for. Not save-able.
@@763GanderGuys its savable its aluminum it can be welded
would rather see this piece of dogshit be turned into a cube
@@MSprostunts734 id love to have a dirtbike
@@TylerDuysen lol this piece is unsaveable. Idk if you saw the engine but it’s completely rust. Like EVERYTHING needs changed. Do you know how much those 2nd hand parts go for… a new crank etc.. u will end up spending 500$ on just the motor side, let alone that rusty ass frame! Not worth it. For that money you can buy a good condition same year
Wow, we’ve winched sleds out of the water after the ice melts in the spring and the motors didn’t look that bad inside!
Vinny..I drove 1 hour for dis stinkin bike..im not leaving with nothing..don't make me sick Guido on yas..😂😂😂 yo!
Your killing ME! that would be well over 1000 bucks where I come from in the north east.i just fought with a guy for two weeks over the price of an all clapped out xr 100
Next time you get a locked up dirt bike motor, with no oil in it. Try filling the bottom end with diesel and letting it sit for a little bit. sometimes it will free stuff up so its easier to take apart.
HAHAHA Garage is looking awesome brother. Well earned, well deserved!
Best idea part out what you can, hope for the best, lesson learned. To bad man, sucks...
I'm about three quarters through and it ain't looking good at all. I give it up to you brother you will buy and tackle the worst of the worst. Much luv.
What a waste of 300 dollars your better off parting it out you might get your money back
That bike spent 95 % of its life in a wet pille of grass for sure ..probly went fo a swim or two lol ..keep it up awsome vids 👌🔥🇨🇦❤
You'll be able to get more that you paid just by selling the cylinder jug and suspension
Nice find man enjoyed the video. A little trick for those cylinder jug bolts use the closed end of a second wrench and attach it to the open end of the wrench you were hammering on and it'll give you twice the leverage those nuts always loosen up pretty easy for me using that method no need to hammer the wrench and vibrate your fingers to death lol. Just a tip if you hadn't even seen it before.
The vine growing on the frame confirms that bike sat outside for YEARS.
and also by looking at the engine
probably sitting outside 10+ years
Lesson today, don't disassemble a resto project with an impact
Should keep it and restore it through get another engine that needs a topend or put another engine in it will be worth it
Looks like it's been in the river. Parts bike n move on to the next one. Enjoying your chanel over here in the UK.
Give this comment a like if you'd like to see a restoration build series
See the crack at the beginning. Your making it worse trying to turn it over
can you give me one :)
Wow that's a lot of rust and wear. Thanks for buying the bike so we didn't have to. 💪
I love vintage bikes and have owned a fair share of them over the years. I was beginning to think it had been in a flood. Its a shame it was left outside. do you have a impact driver? it would have been very useful taking off that ignition cover. they last forever, I have the same one I bought 50 years ago. though i must admit I have had to replace the bits twice over the years, still something every bike mechanic should have in their tool box. love the videos
Use vinegar to free up the crank it works amazing
You need to get yourself a vapour blaster ... you'd be surprised how some of those engine parts will come up...
He needs some basic tools before anything lol
Must of went for a swim ??....and parked up..
I wish I could find just one cheap bike here in Florida to work on just one.
Lol rite OfferUp never anything cheap Facebook I yet to see a gem that someone wants to sell 😕 usually get scooters near me that’s all that’s low and worth fixing up quick or just to mess with
Would be great content if u save the engine .. Clean of the rust parts en put the engine back together.. Would be satisfying
300 for yz250 ofcourse will take it
Bro you get all the boss bangers
i bet he is in old inter web all night long and watch sites like crazy .
@@broo_shs I do spend a lot of time on Facebook Market Place
@@2vintage Yeah I knew it man.
I love these random bikes u purchased, makes for a great episode.😁🤟🏾
You, do good work keep on doing what ur doing
What’s with all the ads ??Jesus Christ
You win some you lose some. I'm sure you will get your money back over time. What's up with the Honda xr 250 . Did you find any parts for it?
you can tell by the tide mark that has been submerged under water for a long time. that needs a full rebuild top to bottom and sand blast the frame as the rot has got in
nice fisher price tool set!!!!!!!!!!!
You need a bigger shop vac
The infamous wd40
Nice good job idol 👍👍👍👍👍👍💪
That belongs at the dump lol
Highly recommend you use more penetrating oil & less WD-40. 40 isn't lubricant and leaves residue behind. Works better on frozen components.
I just bought a 1992 yz250 for 300$ also same exact one lol and mine also had a seized crank and I replaced it with a used one for 100$ used on eBay.put a couple other new parts in it and for 550 total I got a decent bike!
Joe when you're trying to free up your engines use diesel it works pretty decent
I think it’s been a flood bike.
jee work bench finaly something ya have done.
Never been so early to a vid
Nice bike. 300 is a steal!
WD-40--------FISH OIL..?????
That Bike went underwater at some point.
Yes!!!! You did it, you did it, you finally did it!!! YOU GOT A WORK BENCH!!!
There's hope for you yet son!!!
at 14 min in the vid I threw the towel in..NO WAY..the guy should have paid you to haul it off..$300..? snickers
I also had one of these 1991 YZ250's and mine was also trashed. It took me almost 3 years to rebuild it due to parts availability, we upgraded the suspension because the OEM stuff is horrid. Nice bikes I really enjoyed it, but I think you overpaid in my opinion.
wish i lived close ..i'd fix er ...i'd give ya 500 for it and have a good little bike for less then 1500... have to remove the pink tho ...buy parts to fix it over the winter...i bought a whole transmission for 200sx in the winter for 80 bucks and 30 for a good crankshaft
Lol I wouldn’t even pay 50 bucks for that bike. Why you would pay 300 without even checking the oil or air filter 😂😂😂 TH-cam guys..
one time I fully rebuilt a 05 YZ85 from the frame up painted frame and all every single part I could get aftermarket I did and rebuilt the entire engine, new plastic, graphics, grips, levers, seat cover, small shit right down to brake fluid/rad cap and shit.. never could get it running right so it sat for a year then I sold it....asked $500 he offered $400 I said yes.....
Somebody on this video chat got a 250cc for around £1000? No matter the age and obv don’t mind something needing some TLC and a couple of pound? Any offer would be appreciated.
buy a impact screwdriver. From hobarfright for $20 for those stubborn Phillips head screws. It will save you alot of headaches. ✌
Man that bike has been thru it, wow!! Your earning it with this one buddy. Great content as always, ive learned a fair amount just from watching you do what ya do so thank you!!
That’s the nicest $300 dolor bike that’s ever been purchased. The rims are worth more than that alone. And embarrassed to mention the price, dude you should be stoked!! 600 to fix everything from new top end, read, carb, and weld the silencer, new air filter and used missing plastics, you’ll have a thorough bred classic that’ll deff be a ripper that you prolly already know, and why ya risked the long drive. . But based on the condition of the engine and the bottom of the frame that bike was not ridden hard at all. Just owned by someone who didn’t care for riding or his bikes, I grew up with my buddy who had the 126 pink from 92 and that bike would wheelie through5 gear’s. But the former owner should be ashamed and never allowed to own another bike after seeing that air box, but that disgusting type of mess was somewhat typical in older airboxes, and the head look. You should just through oil in there and a carb and give er a kick, and spray some starter fluid in there and take for a rip
I paid 300 for my 2005 CRF450R. It had a bad motor, top and bottom end. One wrench rabbit rebuild kit later and i have one hell of a ripping machine.
i got a bike the same for £300 here in thailand but it runs sweet as a nut now it had a few problems i sorted it out same dirt bike its getting sprayed next week new turn signals then its a new bike
Wow that's the worst dirt bike I've ever seen rust can't understand people I would have give him 100 dollars for it fella can't wait see it back in fall glory again you great guy love you're videos thank-you 1st Cass😀👍
Shake da fook1ng WD bottle :D
$275 to much!!! Yikes bro, take everything steel covered in rust toss it in a bucket of evaporust bout 3 days, pull out brass wire wheel, wd 40 up , done
HOW?🤔🤔🤔🤔😵💫
I love WD40 as much as the next guy. But what a waist of it. Buy a 20l of diesel and use that in cylinder and case. I have a spare quad engine sitting in my shop for last 2 yrs I keep topped up with diesel and its mint. It's an oil, WD40 is a lubricant of sorts but also a water and moisture displacer, it will dry out your gaskets if your not replacing them.
She’s just a bit hurt but a quick visit to my guys bike clinic she’ll be back up to her old self again 😂🤣 but man where do u find these 300$ 1000$ range bikes lol I know there’s dealing an lower of prices but they gotta be low advertised already in my area everyone won’t budge everything even clappers are priced like there the best thing u ever seen an most never go less then 1k around here in ct.
I've got a hunch that these deals hes finding are fake. No way in hell would you be able to get a complete bike like that anywhere for less than 1,000. Especially a yz250
Bought a 92 KDX 250 for $800 and yeah it’s kinda got the same thing with the rain but it was ran till death, some idiot before this guy got it back decided to melt the crank needle bearings and ruin the cyclinder head in the process, then try to work on it and just fucked it up, like peices missing left and right, then guy fisnlly gave it back to the original owner who then sold it to me, yeah it’s rough shape but I’m in love with it and completely doing a full restoration rebuild upgrade
That workbench is gonna make your floor jealous
The name of this vid should have been OMG. Every time you took something off that's all I could think was OMG.
I have left side case and a cylinder some other stuff probably. You'll get your money back in that cylinder and pv . Lots people looking for those pv's. I did a 89 few years ago way worse than that but wasn't cheap. Little vid on my channel of it I think back before I got hurt
Lmao thought you can fix everything? it's not really that hard to fix that motor at all. All new bearings and seals vapor blast the motor parts and rebuild or get a crank and weld up that case crack. But nope gunna part it our which is a waste of a bike never gunna sell it all. I'd buy it complete from you lemme know I will make the drive from IL.
It could be fixed, but it would take a lot of time, gaskets, bearings, seals, rod kit plus extras it would end up costing $1000 just in parts to get a bike that wasn’t anything special. It’s as if it was submerged and left a season in a river.
Just bought a 95 KLX300 off Facebook for $140! These deals are out there you just have to look every once in a while!
Imagine that chassis with a air cooled 490 2 stroke in it, aka 1992 WR500, last 2 stroke open class bike produced by Yamaha, I sold it about 2 years ago, I was a pretty good bike for the desert, it got too hot on a track and it was too much to handle in tight woods
Wearing gloves with the exception of the part where your sucking out the Ebola nest!!! 😀 you should look into getting a lift like mustie 1 has for small vehicles
That would be completely half ass to rebuild that motor and just throw new rings on that piston wtf 😂 smh you paid 300 you can rebuild that motor top to bottom including new fly wheel etc plus plastics chain sprocket tires grips etc and you'll still turn a profit. Respect the old school 2 strokes a little more bro!!!
Actually over time oxidation gasses pushed it out..I had it happen on 83 cr 250...good luck ,hope it turns out well.
hey don’t worry i basically payed overprice for my honda 400ex payed $800 and it was in pieces it took me and my dad basically 2 months to get it halfway together and as of now it’s still not perfect it breaks about every 2 times i go to ride it lol
89’ ?? This is rough but there aren’t many 89’s around. Hey all it takes is money, and you can build a fine all purpose bike !
WD-40 is waterproofing, you need rust penetrant/lubricant like PB Blaster.
The guys you got this bike from Are D-BAGS they should have taxed you for a bike that sat outside for years ….if they have history on you they know your gonna get this bike back to its glory !
Hey 2vintage I have 2 rm 250 stroke 03-07one is running and the other I trying to get it running my question is the one is not running has a rectifier on and other don't,can't see the serial numbers cause its powder coated please lmk if you have any idea thanks
