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.

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 😁

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! 🤙

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. :)

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!!

HAHAHA Garage is looking awesome brother. Well earned, well deserved!

Another nice find Joe 👍🏼 my dad had one of these for a short time when I was a kid, it still remains to be one of the fastest MX bikes I've ever ridden! Just saw you're parting it, shame its not savable.

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!

I love these random bikes u purchased, makes for a great episode.😁🤟🏾

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.

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

always amazed on how you find the positive on some of these hooptys ya buy n fix n im amazed they actually run takes alot of patience

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 👍🏻

This bike is to the meat I’m at the beginning of the video if you get this running by the end or get it running soon your the goat bro !

I'm a fan of the vintage yz250 can't wait to see you get this up and running.

I love watching your videos keep up the good work

Dude i enjoyed this video a lot, ive been burned buying bikes like this or trying to get a cheap bike ripping and its always fun to watch and do myself. Wish i had the time now to work on stuff like this again

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.

You know it's a full blown project when you need to use WD on the crank. Bravo, and thanks for the content.

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

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.

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

Another cool find where do you find these bikes👍🏻💯

I did enjoy this video and I saw the crack in the very beginning. Pretty sure I knew how it would turn out. You can probably get most of your money back from parting it out. Thanks again for your time.

If you’re going to part it out how much would you want for the wiring harness?

thanx for the vid, makes me want to restore an old y zinger

Nice man congrats liked the bike tbh

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!

Very interesting videos, but i want to know what do you do after ? you complete the restoration or you sold ? because i've never seen a project completed, you only start the bike...and then?

Have you ever come across, or rebuilt a Yamaha XT 500? Was one of my favorites back in the '80s but never had one. Been looking for one now for a while.

Where’s all the bikes and stuff at besides what I see? Did u sell a lot or have some outside yet

Hey man I was wondering if you could help me out I’ve had a 2000 RM 250 for a long time just came time to rebuild the bottom end and I can’t find a single bottom end part for it anywhere The bike has a lot of sentimental value and would like to keep riding it Was just wondering where you get your parts for older bikes

Also working on bikes this old I would recommend using a propane torch to heat the bolts sometimes they come right out super easy

For that money you can buy a good condition same year

Had one like exactly this, awesome bike!

Back in the day that bike was a beast. For me is the kind bike to spend a few bucks to restore. But you know, That's only my opinion 👍👍👍

i have never seen a flywheel in that state !!! was satisfying when the puller got it off though :) nothing stops the power tools lol

How much would you want for the full roller frame? Just not the motor?

These were actually great bikes at the time. =All those parts will sell quite easily. The YZ250 has great power and the suspension was very good. =Double your money for sure.

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.

Wow that's a lot of rust and wear. Thanks for buying the bike so we didn't have to. 💪

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?

Still enjoyed watching even though she was too far gone! Great video

I actually burst out laughing a bit when you took off that fly wheel cover lol. Looks like a bunch of dirt and straw was also intentionally scooped into that crank. Holy smokes eh.

Well Joe you win some and you lose some hopefully when you’re parting it out at least hopefully you will break even ! great video as always though 👍🏼🤩

Anyway have any tips on getting varnish and rust out of a gas tank? So far I have put vinegar and metal bbs in it to break the stuff up and vinegar to dissolve it, but just in case that doesn’t do the trick all the way does anyone have any other ideas?

Put the box end of a 2nd wrench into the open end of the 1 your hammering on, doubling the legnth of the wrench for leverage.

Where’s the best place to get a new carb for a Yamaha pw80

Had a mouse nest like that in my cvt case on a Yamaha kodiak that sat for 7 years.

The cylinder, piston and power valves are probably worth the $300! 👍

I think parting it out is The best. You Will need New crank and bearings plus seals gaskets and allot more to make The Engine working again. I think you can part it out and get around 400-500$ out of it so its not that bad.

Have you ever messed with and ltr 450r

I had 88 and 90 YZ 250 both were awesome bikes.
