revving up a 2-stroke like you are doing when it is cold is a brain dead thing to do... very easy for a ring to break since it has not heated up and expanded properly, meaning it is brittle and moving in and out of the exhaust port is looking for trouble.....

Reving a 2 stroke to the moon when it’s not even warm, sometimes you piss me off HAHA!

My friend cold seized his 2002 cr250 by not letting it warm up and proceeding to "pin it" down the road all taped out. This was back when.

Nice to see you back into the two strokes, I'll be watching the progress 👍

glad to see you working on dirt bikes again deffently my favorite videos.

Hell yeah, I don't even see the video but I already press the like button, I love this dirt bike content

Stop hating. Your jealous

I got a 1989 KX 125 and I only paid $200 for it now I’m just adding on accessories and rebuilding the motor. Great vid

Nice to see all these kawasakis coming to the channel!

Another great video to watch thanks. Ben from London we love the channel 😀

Your spark plug should be a crisp brown color at the end

it’s been awhile sence there’s been a walk around garage vid, i’d love to see the whole collection

Yooo, these old kawis are sick! AND you got 3 of them, my man! Love the content 👌

2 vintage-"we're gonna make this bike look perfect" 🤣 you've never made a bike look perfect.... EVER!

Yes! Finally another dirt bike! 👍🏻

Nice find! I have a 1984 and 1985 KX125. They are fun bikes to restore.

The small intake boot came with the Boyesen reed valves, I would suggest making a new one or repairing this one because on Ebay the reed valves cost $200

Man keep the work up love ur vids they are great man

Nice to see you fixing up more bikes I love your videos and would love to do this for a career in the future I used to ride and race dirt bikes all the time as a kid I love the sport and I really really enjoy what you do as a KZreadr be sure to never stop doing this I love and enjoy watching you’re restoration vids

Crazy power out of these. Super easy to fix also. I love em

Use a q tip and valve lapping compound and it’ll clean up the seat on the carb really easily, if the rubber is hard, soak it in olive oil overnight, might come back, just some cheap easy stuff to try!

3 nice kx's good deal on them, awesome video keep up the good work man

Keep up the great videos, I just started filming and working on bikes you definitely inspired me

Man I love hearing what you think it could be really knowledgeable!!!!

When you can’t find boots like that, I’ve had good luck with radiator hose. It has rope lining through the rubber and really resists oil and gas for a long time. Nice buys!

Bro you hit the mother load i swear! I'm loving this intro with 3 kx 125s you did good.

Nice bikes joe thanks for the video was bored out my head lol

Quality again my friend 👊🏻

Good find! I am currently searching for a Kawasaki KX125 to build! Why can't that be in Phoenix, AZ?? I am looking for a 2004 if possible ...

@2vintage what sources do you use for finding used dirt bikes? I don't have much luck even locating bikes for sale

Nice score!!lastnight I picked up a mint barn find tri.z250 been rebuilt before it was stored away for 20 yrs finally got a good deal up here in Washington keep it up brother

Yay.. more dirt bike content! :)

That looks like a Boyesen RAD valve. Nice upgrade over stock. 1989 last year of the single radiator. Always loved the look of those bikes. The air leak is more than likely your top end issue; it's causing the bike to run to lean(will also cause a high idle, I think that's why the idle dropped when you sprayed it, it stopped the air leak until it was all sucked through the crack). Don't forget to put on the two vent hoses on the top side of the carb.

Great bikes from the 80's and video😀

Great video, looks like you might get 3 bikes handy enough from these 2 1/2 KX125's👍🙂🏍

I’ve been binge watching your videos learning how to work on bikes lol

Dang!!! I just picked up an 1984 kx125 for free and I redid all the plastics and the engine and its an amazing bike I hope you have lots of fun!

“Accidentally bought 2 more” You scared jade is gonna watch this video?

I just love the sound of and old bike starting up again after years 😂

Great find on all 3

When you said you bought the 2 others on accident, you reminded me of my dad lol

Please show the float seat replacement, I have the same drip issue for my KDX 200 and stuck

thank god a bike! after the engine the next thing i check is rear suspension sag side to side movement on swing arm and hubs as to rebuild these can kill finances on a project

holy shit ! never clicked on a viseo that fast

Very helpful video 👌🏽

Before u order needle snd seat. Try a quetip in drill. Will valve grind compound. D0nt go crazy just clean the surface. Old school trick my dad taught me in 80s

I’m not sure if I was doing a triple on that bike and having silicone on the intake rubber could mean The possibility of certain death when the engine revved out of control LOL. Seriously I think you should get all three bikes going it’s great to see you working on Kawasaki’s Love your videos.

Mannn I’m still waiting for banshee great video joeeeeee

Nice bikes. I had 2 1986 kx 125s. I sold one but have lots of spares available. Stator cdi, forks etc.

Great stuff! I've been working on restoring my first dirtbike ever, a 1985 Suzuki dr250! Got all the parts ordered but the back axle bolt.... Can't find one ANYWHERE. Sucks.

Back in the 80's I had a friend who put pam cooking spray on the power valves when he clean them. He said it keeps carbon from sticking to the valves. I don't know if it worked or not

@@ianmangham4570 Anything oily or slippery will help keep the muck from stickin' I used to fill my air filter walls with Vasoline or grease ...just coat it so the dirt will stick and your filter gets less dirty..especially in sand tracks ..i put some between filter and carb on the boot - inside in case anything got past too ..more for seeing if my filter leaked than anything....easier to tell if stuff was getting sucked in... Cleaning the filter box was easy.. Just wipe it enough to get the dirt/sand out and recoat it....doesn't take long... I could run one filter on our beach sand track when everyone was changing or cleaning their's ( i had spares ready too - cleaned and oiled in plastic zip lock bags if needed of course ) .

We used to make intake boots with radiator hose. It works if you can't find oem part.

Finally some dirt bike vids been too long

Run fouled sparkplugs in the ultrasonic cleaner with simply green 50/50 mix 20 minutes with heat, then 5 minutes without heat with just water, it cleans them great.

Q tip and compound on a drill will clean and remove any tiny burrs from the seat just do that before cleaning the carb body...

Nice team green:) Maybe find a boot on one of the other 2 bikes?

you can use a piece of coolant line for the diy carb boot

They made us use the sparky ate the silver lake sand dunes in Michigan . Good buy 65 isn’t to old 🥸😂😂🦦

Nice joe!!!

@2vintage i got an honda fortrax 250 whats the best quality tie rods to put on it?

2nd time I’ve heard you say could be water in the float lol

leaning out check crank seals and intake

Did you set the float height to spec? You can clean seat using qtip and toothpaste or mild abrasive.

don't forget to check the floats, float. some times they get holes in them. and fill up with fuel. so that could be an issue also.!

Please hurry up Joe,i need to see that rubber inlet manifold fix ,Awesome channel mate just sick 😎🙋‍♂️👱‍♀️🇬🇧🇺🇸

Can you use parts off one of the other bikes. I haven’t watched the whole video yet but in so anxious to to see running and don’t want to wait on parts lol

I’m excited for the kdx 175 vid. Those are rare!

Wow nice finds👍

That's a good video love all of them

125s were always my favorite dirt bikes as they're almost full sized,lightweight,nimble and were plenty fast enough for lighter riders but not scary like the 500s could be plus the parts for 125s were less and usually in stock at lots of stealerships back in those days...

Need some vforce,or vetoes reeds, those bikes are awesome dude you scored big time, you got a very good deal on Those!!

Do you have a warehouse to store all these bikes and atvs? I'm honestly curious where you have the room for all these lol

Sweet! I would buy one off you if I lived closer.

Nice man!

Lol, 2 87s you were set up, good score...88-89 are the same, clean your kips valve, and check the crank seal, you need a new float arm and needle, the 88 is fun off road, and turns great..

Those are quick bikes I know from exspearience the one I drove was lil older and yee haaaw .power band engaged and hold on sweet.godbless and stay safe.

I have a yz 125 and when I ride it the power don’t kick in till u hold the throttle back for a good 1 2 seconds then the power kicks in do u know the problem

Why didn’t you check the reeds when you had the carb off?

I had one in college, great trail bike

when you first fired up the bike, she sounded like she's idling high to begin with. then when you found the boot, i was like, "ahh, that might be an issue."

shoe goo works awesome for repairing intake boots!!!

Great trick to check a piston if your not taking it apart is by sticking your phone in there and take a flash on video while you push it over by hand 👍🏼

Wow what a deal, these look like really nice bikes, 😂 I can't find one.

Could anyone help me? I have a 4 stroke carbed 125 and just recently the revs have started to stick when I'm riding randomly and it's definitely not the throttle or throttle cable because I've lubed it all and it still does it with the throttle completely closed. The only way to get it to stop is when I blip the throttle or turn it off

Can also use rad hose for the boot I've done in the past

I still got a 86 KX250 from my years of racing...course it needs put together!! But one day i will get to it ..raced 15 years until 91

Great video. Educational
