  • I end up doing some last minute finishing touches to the 1995 Kawasaki Kx250. I change the oil, clean the carburetor and then attempt the FIRST start on this dirt bike. Will it run after sitting? #Kawasaki, #FirstStart, #2stroke,

      You should use castor 927 for your premix it’s the best out there and the reviews and performance and longevity of the top end using it proves it!

      there are some judgemental and disrespectful people , but when he titles things like it rips,,its sick or a beast and they barley run? I think that's why people are hard on him..Kinda comes off as trash talking. and as others have commented most of his stuff barley runs. that is all!!

    No disrespect dude I think your videos are great but I think you need to tune the carbs on your 2 strokes better. All of the 2 stroke bikes I have seen you work on all sound like they are choking, either too much air or too much fuel. Keep up the good work man just a bit of constructive criticism lol. 🤘

    I honestly went with 2-3 kicks that second one didn't count because the second didn't fully kick over as you pointed out so I was on the money LOL Any bike that is getting correct fire fuel and compression should start no more than 2-3 kicks In my experience with bikes it always worked that way for me If it didn't crank in 2-3 kicks I knew something wasn't exactly right and it would bug me to death till I figured it out LOL ✌️

    If you can fix the leak easily, adding an extra gasket should move the cover far enough away from the clutch. I'd hammer it straight again and have it welded, brazed at the least

Not that far of a drive :P
    Edit: Also, isn't there suppose to be a gasket on that clutch cover? I know my yfz 450 has one but that doesn't mean all quads and bikes should. Just seems like the proper thing it should have. IDK, just something to check out my man!

    engine 'has been rebuilt' by the owner befor. mine just rode it twice got scared, i traded it against a PC i build and had for sale for 550€ only got offers for 500€ and i paid 400€ for the pc a while back.
    so yeah it run and starts great the kx just has a fuel tank from a 250 bike and seems like the pipe is a bit rough, exhaust might be leaking also there is oil EVERY WHERE on the pipe and exhaust.
    needs new chain for sure. doesnt have the front brake caliper... tough to find doh... for a the 88...
    gonna give it a good clean, and see from there... my friend already wants to buy it from me... i didnt even had time to ride it really lol
    ow also did get 3 tyres with it. my first real dirt bike MOTO CROSS as we call it. i got 2 smal dirt bikes a 12/10" and a 14/12" one both 125cc small ones prety fun. but this kx125 HOLY SHIT its tall
