Very nice of you to fix it for free! The guy should be extremely happy!
Surely he will get some TH-cam money from it. I don’t know how much but I think it would cover the labor? I’m guessing TH-cam is his full time job?
i would be too, im sure hes just doing the labor not paying for the parts
exactly.. a chance for content..people pay for this
free? it went from an 8k bike to a 10k bike. that 2k went in someones pocket
@@AverageCitizen333 Went into parts, did you not watch? Yall always busting joes balls lol. tfoh
My husband says that instead of dropping the spark plug into the hole, use a 1/4” gas line about 8” long as an extension. Push the top of the plug into the gas line and place it in the hole and start turning it. Once the threads catch, pull the gas line off and then use socket to tighten it up. He says this prevents the ceramic from getting chipped or broken.
Great advice!
Your husband is correct….
also keeps from cross threading been using a hose to do plugs like this for decades never cross threaded a plug.
Very true
too much work.
That is a running machine now . Congratulations to the owner for giving it to you to fix we all thank him.
Don't you mean "Congratulations to the owner for getting the labour for free" . . ???
@@munter10lol broke ass
Just a small tip. Wrap a clean rag around the base of the con-rod sealing the gaps into the bottom half. That last circlip could end up down there, those little things can be tricky.
There’s a thing also called a magnet but I get what your saying but if your pinging circlip’s probably best to get someone else to do it😂
@@joski9030 I'll watch you fish out a circlip out of the bottom end with a magnet
Dude he knows too much😂
@@joski9030I bet you're not as good as your bragging about on TH-cam it's not because someone can't do this because it might happen and you keep dirt out of it also genius I've been doing this for fifty years and I can tell some of you never have done anything but watch TH-cam videos
I'm waiting on him to see if he can make his voice sound any gruffer
It’s nice to see you getting back into dirtbikes more regularly, seemed like it was mostly quads for a good minute there. The variety has been nice lately
Always happy when 2 Vintage posts a video! Keep up the dirt bike builds. Love them!
Vinny is a great quality control man. That was extremely good of you to help this guy out. Great!!!!!!!.......Pete
Your attention to detail and quality work are a winning combo! Well done!!!!👏🏁👏
Very solid of you to do this for a subscriber! There's hope for the future with people like you in it.
I’ve been waiting for you to get this one running 😂 nice job
Exactly. Please Joe, for the love of God, have him send you an update when that seat has been stapled. That thing sitting on there like a loose diaper has been irking me this whole time lol
Recheck that left front head bolt for us if you don't care I didn't see you go to full torque on it on the camera...oh and try air nozzle when installing the grips just plug off the other end of the grips so it works good!
Jeps, forgot one!
Hope its ok
Watch out this dude has bouncers in here
Thank you I was having a bad day till I seen a new video. People struggle to start my bike I'm the only one that can start it !
Nobody can start my bike either, because I won't give them the key...LOL
What a great series of videos on this bike. Thanks for takng the time to put them together. I learned a thing or two!
It lives thanks to you. Awesome job.
Awesome bike joe and great work on fixing it sounds perfect I’m sure the owner is over the moon with the results and it doesn’t matter how much we spend if you care about the bike that you own then you treat it like your wife take care mate and thanks for sharing 🔧🔧🔧👍👌❤️🏁🏁
No throttle when your kickstarting on these four strokes.Squeeze the front brake to resist the urge.I learnt the hard way on my Xr650r😂
The early crf squirts fuel its 3 blips then kick. Absolutely nothing like an old 650
A blip before the kick is ok ,but never while your kicking I have a 450f too😂
i saw that too, my crf450r has kicked back on a few friends who were 2 smoker natives because of it
Good job as usual, keep the videos coming Joe I enjoy every one thanks.
Amazing video! Always great when I get a notification from 2vintage on TH-cam, been waiting for this one! And I absolutely love it, you are the best at what you do!! Keep it up and keep up the great content, we love it!!
When you put on grips use an air gun to push a bit of air into grip as you slide on it expands grip and makes it really easy.
dude always great to watch you work on thease bikes awesome job as always
Engine mechanics is a precision task, stay within tolerances and all good. Excellent job once again Joe and Vinnie. Doing the job for nix shows your generosity and dedication. For this alone..subbed!
Nice work on that bike Joe. I hope the guy you built it for enjoys it for a long time! Realy nice
Once again you the man I bet you have done so many of those rebuilds you could do it blind folded by now.
It's funny how Vinny was so interested in the beginning when you were going through the parts boxes. He heard the packaging rustling around and he thought you were in the refrigerator cold cuts and cheese drawer getting some food. It doesn't matter what a dog is doing… They could be deaf and sleeping but if you start messing around with the American cheese deli bag or cold cuts bags, they come flying out of nowhere like magic. Lol. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dang this poor guy! 10,000.00 in a 2005 and he hasn't done the suspension yet! The best part about this story is he has you and Vinnie on the case! there's nobody more honest or or determined to get it running rite!
That was a good job done. 👏 👏 Well done. I've worked on plenty of 2-stroke bikes before but never a 4-stroke bike. I was always a bit skeptical about working on a 4-stroke bike but you made it look so simple. Great stuff 👍
I love watching stuff get torqued down I don't know why? I guess it's something about perfection. You always do good work. nice job!
An air nozzle under the grips will make your life much better putting on grips. Put the tip just under the grip flange and pressurize the grip and slid it on without any lubrication. It also works for taking off grips you want to save, it just may take putting the air around the grip in multipe locations to break it free.
Yes this works great.
Abit of WD40 inside the grips also helps it slide on really easy
lol i was also thinking that, it was a bit tricky for me first couple times but then you get the hang of it then it literally 2 seconds to zap one on.
Great job! That's a sweet machine.
Nicely done! Just in time for a full summer of riding!
$10k invested in a 2005 model when MSRP on a 2024 is $8300. @15:15 I hope you remembered to finish torquing the front-left head bolt, bc it didn't happen on camera, but you did double torque the back-right one. If you use an air gun it makes installing those grips super easy...no lube required.
Love the videos I have been watching for years and I mean years love how Vinny runs like 30mph to keep up with you on quads and bikes lol
Back when I was a kid, always borrowed a can of hairspray for grips on dirtbikes and bmx bikes, they slide on easy and stick on great (Use Aerosol hairspray ONLY) New liquid stuff doesn't work. Another Great job!
has more into it than the cost of a new one.....been there before
you're a great guy to donate your labor 👍👍
Awesome video! Great commentary. Not too much. Not too little. Enjoyed watching this one. It was like I was in the shop with you.
Nice job working on that bike, practically Brand New now !
this is a great way to start my morning 😅
Use your air compressor to blow under the grips and they will go on easily.
Brake cleaner and patience, then lock wire.
@@joski9030 Gasoline and electrical tape
Peanut Butter and Honey
Clear spray paint works well, grips will slide on easy then stick when paint sets
@@lukemiele1706 Blackcurrant jam and a dab of anusol.
That bike is really nice
Just something I learned years ago, you actually dont have to stagger the ring gap. They rotate when on the piston to function correcly. It doesnt hurt anything at all just stagger, if u put a piston in a engine with them lined up and run it for a bit they will come back out not lined up.
GOOD WORK..
This has to be one of the cleanest most insane builds for a bike that’s barely ran I freaking wish this was my bike
Great job to do this for a viewer, only thing I did not see the distant front head bold torqued down. (maybe missed on the editing).15:19
A harbor freight table bike lift is so much help doing this kind of work!
I noticed you missed the torque on the right side back you double torqued the left front,will that matter. And you doubled up on one clutch plate spacer is the bike still good ??
31:16 Right away, no smoking. Impressive. Not like last time.
I’ve got a two stroke triple and spent thousands on it and to me it’s totally worth it compared to the grey plastic bikes we have today
Nice job. I love your tenacity.
That thing sounds healthy Joe great job dudes stoked I'm sure 👍
I recently discovered your channel and love watching your videos. I recently completed a two year moto-tech class and your troubleshooting really helps reinforce the things I learned.
Just curious, because this is something I got from my instructor a lot-have you ever thought of getting a bike lift? I used to get asked all of the time whether I realized I could raise the bike up (our work stations had bike lifts). I think because I don’t have one at home, I had already grown accustomed to working from the floor. However, it is a lot easier and less tiring to work on most things when I don’t have to squat or bend over.
Your thoughts?
Look at you! Living the dream!
Question: When i as a kid and we rode our Honda MT5 mopeds, every one said that you had to ride in a special way when you had a new cylinder and piston.
Like ride only in this rpm for 15 minutes and then this rpm... But i suspect that was just bullcrap
well done..the motor sounds tight..free expert labor (U 2v)..the owner has a nice bike now
Great filming and editing. Nice work Joe.
At 25:26 you put two steel plates together… you missed a friction between…
yup
The guys a hack.
Awesome bike man....nothing like brand new parts
the front brake line on the wrong side of the fork leg is a true alarm bell with any mx bike! he spends all that money on bling and has a header pipe looking like that!
Don't need to lube handgrips, just cover the other end of the handlebar and tap the grip on with your palm. The air pressure will ensure an easy & tight fit..
Use hairspray to put the grips on. Lubes them for easy install then dries like glue
Just a tip for intake valve clearance on honda I use to own a 04 450r and I would set intake to .006 and it would start first kick and if it got to where it wasn't I new the intake valve where tighting up as a lot of these motocross motors like to do ( intake valve get tight over time)
Pro tip for you, When intakes get tighter, its time to replace the valves AND springs before the exhaust breaks.....
@@scottboyd7368 yeah did that also to my bike with titanium valves, new seat, guides, springs the whole 9yds thanks for the pro tip though 👍
A little clear coat sprayed in the grip makes them slide on nice. It drys almost instantly and then your grips don’t twist!
Please safe your young knees my friend. Buy a nice lift so you don’t have to bend down and work on your bikes.⭐️💫🇺🇸Hoosier Wing
Exactly, I work in dentistry and have many dentists in mid-career (their 40s) who have back problems from being hunched over all day.
Lift tables sure are sweet
My grandad worked on bikes, tractors; cars and built houses until he was 93 years old without a lift. Never once completed about knee, back or joint pain 🤷🏻♂️ my dad is the same. A lift is nice but also seems like the people who don’t move much and have all this assistance seem to be the ones with all the ailments. I guess over here in Ireland we are built a bit different 😂💪🏼
@@apocx4290 Work smart not stupid there tough guy !
There are special sockets for doing plugs with a rubber insert to hold plug and prevent accidental ceramic damage, Also at about 19:22 you put the valve cover on and I did not see any assembly lube on the cam. I hope it was something i missed or dang this may not go well for longevity
Nice work, good video fodder. Hate all that aftermarket crap though. $800 carb and it won't idle, nice. Would be a whole lot more valuable and user friendly if it were all stock but whatever. Hope he appreciates your help and gets some good use out of it.
Awesome job, Joe! Sounds great!
You are 100% the kind of mechanic that is worth every penny spent and most should probably pay you more!!!
Seriously man, tequila aside, this is like watching Motzard or Picasso!!! Don't sell yourself short in any way. You are worth every freaking dollar!!!!
Vinnie is just quality assurance, I think he needs a raise! 😊
Nice job, really enjoy your videos. Owner needs to do something about that kick start before it wears right through the frame!
The money is relative. It's really nobody's business on what or how: obviously it's important to him. Pointing out that someone else might do it differently is all good also. It's just the Internet gets the message to more folks.
To each his own.
I've found over the years that when it's a quality jug and piston kit the rings are already gapped to cylinder, so really you don't need to gap anything. Unless it just don't look right. Mic it then quick gap it.
Started on the second kick! Pretty impressive.
Man I love your videos ! I can’t get enough learning so much again :) inspired to get into my 01 CR 250r ! Hope you do some more 2t in the future ;) 🙏🏻😎
Way better than new! This guy will finally get to experience where all the money went.
VInny, just saw this. Didn't see if anyone else mentioned it but I think you put 2 "steels" back to back it was at (25:24mins timestamp). Great vids btw. Keep up the great content
👍his attention to details kills me😅
Love these videos man! Shouldn’t be an issue but looks like @15:37 you didn’t go all the way to click out at 29’lbs on the left front cylinder nut.😂
Did u put 2 metal clutch discs together and not metal/fiber/metal? It looks like it in the vid..
Seeing a 10k dirt bike makes me feel less guilty about my past transgressions in speedy stuff. Thanks for the cool video.
What a great out come for the owner, another top video
every video i watch either 2stroke or 4stroke all people put the piston on corod 1st and then cylinder on piston i find it much easier putting piston into cylinder then onto the conrod but i suppose its each to their own i suppose but keep up the vids i love to watch
I've never built a dirt bike engine, but that makes so much more sense to install the piston into the cylinder first. Wrist pin and 1 C clip rather than compressing rings and keeping ends separated.
I got my brand new 2023 kx450 out the door for $7600 from Pa dealer. It helped my uncle bought the SR model they had. But all that money into an almost 20 year bike is crazy
. that sounds like 10 grand 🎉 . mission accomplished , A rating ++ .
Sound beautiful now, well done!
Very nice work Joe this guy will I'm sure be ecstatic to have his bike running but it seemed to have a weird sputter to it and I hope you or the owner will fasten that hanging peacock to where it goes
That is a dream machine most people would love to have a bike like that.
Nice job 👍 I’m not sure how much I like that $900 carburetor
Lectrons are the 2nd best carbs next to smart carbs both self jetting
You're an absolute hero !! .. pretty much fearless when it comes to tearing and building ... great job young man !
Was wondering why you put two steels together on the clutch pack? Shouldn't the last disk be a steel
I was wondering that too
I guess that was a mistake that need to be fixed 😳
The lesson here is don’t do 90% of a rebuild. Great work with the diagnostics and repair.
Excellent video, great work
She's a runner! Great work!
Use hairspray in the handles. They slide right on and glues perfectly
Ive got a 05 crf 450 nightmare sitting in my garage tons of money spent and shes still not right wish i had been as lucky as that subscriber im close to 8500 spent between work and purchasing it already
I noticed you put two of the shiny clutch plates back to back at 25:25 I'm not sure if that's correct but I thought you were supposed to stagger them
i seen too !
You are right
He knows the clutch is slipping right now that's why he won't bang on it hard even though he thinks it's broken in
Clutch plates...only Who works makes mistakes...😅
When we machine a cylinder casting for cylinder works whether it's big bore or standard bore we do not stamp the letters on the casting we engrave them.
25:24 did no one notice he put 2 silver plates on each other
Four strokes have an accelerator pump. No need to twist thr throttle when starting
@@fraserm803 well it has to deliver fuel somehow doesn't it lol thanks for the info
HE TALKED ABOUT THAT IN #2 VIDEO and the $900 carb the owner chose deleted that basically
25:24. Did you mean to put two plates together without a disc in between?
Man whoever owns that bike has deep pockets lol. New head/cylinder/piston with valves/springs. With the bike already with a ton of money in it damn!
That’s a good looking bike. Back to factory condition, other than the seat cover being held on with zip ties
My friend I just hit the jackpot I bought a 1975 KX 250 for $50 the only problem was the piston and cylinder
Man your lucky im in to vintage bikes and you never see a 75 kx but for that cheap thats crazy
I had that bike and then a new 2006 crf250r that I bought new for approx $7k, Not a secret as far as I know but they are notorious for valve issues and get harder to start as the problem developes. I sold mine in excellent condition with a fresh valve job pre covid for $1800 and took forever at that. $8-10K LoL
