2002 XR100 Fix Up Project Part 1 - Lets Get The Little Honda Running!

[@majestic_hippoz180]

im 14 and love dirtbikes, i just bought a p.o.s 1985 xr100 for 40 dollars from a guy that didnt know anything about dirtbikes :), i just cleaned the carb and put in a new clutch lever and she runs like a brand new xr100, shes missing a rear fender but other than that it was the best 40 dollars ive ever spent

[@tonyrocks951]

I really want to know where you find these deals, Craigslist maybe?

[@hmproductions2618]

heyy thats awsome, im 19 and im berly getting into it, i just hope i get to fix mine thoight, i got it in parts and i want to try to get the missing parts for it, hopefully i get it up and running

[@goofyass9402]

I'm 14 too bro, cheers to dirtbikes.

[@JoranPrins]

I bought a 110 cc bike 2007 for 150 lol

[@markeaton489]

Still running? lol

[@wesfrazier5739]

Four stroke,aircooled Honda engine's are some of the most reliable engine's ever made.

[@anonymebande8561]

Absolutely correct! I've got a friend with a CB125F, aircooled 11hp 4stroke, he never warms it up, he's always in the redline, and it has got 25k km since brand new😅 still runs like a champ!

[@dog_g5048]

Hell yeah, I accidentally ran my xr80r with too low oil and it destroyed the top end bearings but it still ran like new, can’t kill a Honda! 😂

[@arnolddonayre9616]

my brother has a motor shop but he's going abroad for work and he let me manage it. I'm totally zero knowledge in repairing that's when i came to see your videos...thank you very much...now i have something to start with and for sure increase my income...May God continue to shower you special blessings specially the one's you need most as you continue to share what you have....

[@chaseme81871]

I always worry when a decent bike is low price,and has been spray painted.

[@doobiesnacksog4697]

chaseme81871 probably hotter than the sun

[@Trumplican]

na i doubt it probably just a young kid thats not very bright. I hate when kids spray paint a decent bike.

[@doobiesnacksog4697]

Dragon800 lol the kid i bought a running xr 200r from for 400 painted it black looks like shit but people usually only paint it if its stolen

[@Trumplican]

ive seen tons of kids spray paint their bikes. the chance of coming across a painted bike thats stolen is much less likely but ya it happens. over my life ive literally bought hundreds of bikes i usually look up the vin on them and i can count on one hand the ones that were reported stolen. guess how many were spray painted lol. And yes some probly werent reported but still its pretty rare.

[@offroadfuckan5904]

He painted the seat too😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@TemplarMedic]

I picked up a 2001 xr100 for my 15 year old son when I was home on leave and it has had few problems until recently. After watching your videos my boy took the bike over to the neighbors garage and cleaned out the carb and made some adjustments. The bike is running much better. Thank you for the videos.

[@mxforever6445]

I bought a 1998 xr100r for $200. Cleaned the carb, tightened the chain, and got it running real good. Great pit bike

[@mikfon]

I cant get enough of your videos i got my first bike not to long ago and your Channel really helps. Thank you Jennie's Garage! You Rock

[@killaz123456789100]

9:07 plane going overhead sound reminds me of my younger days riding dirt bikes and quads in and gravel bank on a hot summer day so nostalgic I miss them days of just riding all day every day all summer long nice sunny hot days with that plane sound and the summer bug sound or a chainsaw and gunshots in the distance wow brings me back I love it.

[@stonejohnson9552]

I love this bike, this was the first bike I got when I turned ten and that was ten years ago and it still runs great. Awesome machine to run around my neighborhood in!

[@hugh-johnfleming289]

Unbreakable motor. We've had a version of this on the ranch for decades and it just goes and goes. I always put a bit of Techron through it now and again, we did upgrade the clutch a while back. I figure my grandson will learn on it one day.

[@Jacob-wr7ch]

Wow looks like I got a shitty deal. I bought a 1998 XR100R for $400. I bought it used as my first dirt bike. I didn't know much about dirt bikes at all back then. It ran and it was a little dirty but that's it. I went ahead and bought it, and within a few days it completely stopped working. It wouldn't start. Turned out it had low compression. Air was coming out of the intake. So I completely tore the bike apart. After tearing down the top end, I found that the intake valve bent. I then investigated more and saw that the upper cam sprocket was really worn down. So I'm guessing that it went out of timing and the piston smacked the valve. Luckily the piston was fine. So I replaced the valves and the cam sprocket. That was all I really needed to do to get it running again. But I decided to completely restore it. I installed a new drive chain and sprockets, a new spark plug, a new head and base gasket, new foot pegs, a new skid plate, new fork boots, a new number plate, a new front brake cable, a new rear tire, a new rear fender, and a new chain guide. And I changed the oil with fresh 10w-30 full synthetic. I also repainted the frame to make it white again. Some jackass painted it black. And I cleaned it up the best way I knew how. I know I'm putting in way more money than I'll get out if it, but it's a good little bike that deserves some love. I'm pretty sure the previous owners didn't even change the oil in it.

[@jenniesgarage]

It's a shame that your machine was neglected, but the education you've given yourself is worth much more than the cost of the parts. And you have a motorcycle that you know is sorted out correctly. Thanks for checking out the video.

[@nikkmclean1586]

My friend crashed the same bike I have he ran into a car and the clutch lever broke and now I can’t get it to work and now when I Shift it makes a HORRIBLE sound and I don’t know what to do

[@DerekScuba]

Moto Nikk_002 Get a new clutch lever then

[@mikerafonemusic6177]

Jacob2581 Sweet! I love the minis..i got a '84 yz 80 n a few xr 75 projects..lookin at a '83 cr 80 but crank gas a problem. hmmm?

[@GaryLordsWayMinistry]

Now that the brake line is broken lose and cleaned with the WD40, a heavier oil is needed to lubrication to stay in the sleeve for further protection later on down the road, reinstall and back in business and the oli will lubricate it from further rusting issues, if kept maintenance up with more oil once in a while.

[@Mogman150]

For oiling old cables, I cut the corner off of a baggie, slide the top end of the cable up into the baggie and zip tie or tape. I then add oil to the baggie and let it soak overnight (usually ATF).

[@mikerafonemusic6177]

Mogman150 i have an oem xr 75 cable very clogged with grease n dirt,sand any tips? i need it

[@joelcr250]

My wife also has a 2002 XR100 which we bought about 9 years ago.

[@dalestaley562]

One of the best starter bikes. I ride One and I'm 10

[@DennisJamestechdirter]

Wow! First Kick and it STARTED! THATS HOW RELIABLE THOSE HONDAS ARE!!!! :) PROBABLY WAS WORTH ALOT MORE THAN WHAT YOU PAID FOR IT! :)

[@jenniesgarage]

Yeah these old Hondas just keep on going!

[@shshsbdbdhssgavagagab6290]

same i had a xr 100 for 2 years and always starts one kick

[@braydenjohnson5880]

I have a 1984 xr200r that runs like trash. Burns oil and has extremely low compression. Probably just needs new rings but I dont want to mess with it as I dont have that much experience with four strokes

[@ashleylloyd7445]

Well done, you showed the world how to bodge

[@Odious83]

Cant go wrong with honda xr models these things will take a beating.

[@vgevlogsgamesentertainment]

8:24 DEEZ NUTS HAHA GOT EEM

[@Tempesteken]

i was searching for this in the comment section when i heard it! xD

[@harrydidcote4074]

Lol

[@THEMRblackboy7thst]

you are such a pro, wow. thanks, i can learn something from this

[@tonybuddy123]

Heck ya man. Very talented and seem to have an eye for hidden cheap treasures!

[@gittyupalice96]

Hey thats exact same as my first bike. The only bike I've ever been scared to ride lol

[@trailblazers2001]

great vid, btw a way to fix a siezd cable is to coil it up and puat it in a bucket with desiel fuel. I had to do the same thing on my scooter

[@wildbutterflytiedye]

I tried to find your link to getting the gas you used out of your truck you said without siphining it~I am very intersted in removing all the gas from my truck ('99 Dakota) and not to keen on siphoning it out~Can you show me the link or your best opinion~Love your channel 3 1/2 yr subscriber~Thanks a bunch Jake

[@dylandude27]

I love your lingo. Just have to fix this miscommunication here haha.

[@bluntman3336]

Like how he shifted straight to second

[@user-nk5tz8ox1t]

Yeah bruh i feel you sometimes i gotta loosen up these nuts to get some slack too

[@andrewyoung4023]

I have a 1984 xr 500 it’s a nice bike but won’t run rfvc it’s a complete engine it just has valve problems and idk how to fix that

[@jeffreywaltiere4830]

You are a one and mechanic genius

[@johnthompson6656]

PLEASE give that table saw to a loving home ! It looks too abused !

[@colbycrossley2355]

If it didn’t have compression what would be wrong with it

[@danandyong6653]

KEEP that broken clutch cable! Use the individual strands for csrb jet cleaning. The wires work great, and very thin!

[@saipuakivikaupias]

Love your videos!

[@doobiesnacksog4697]

i got a xr 200 that runs for 400 bucks just burns oil so needs rings or valves

[@joelvela4366]

Enjoy your videos, thanks.

[@GETOWNEDGAMES]

p.s. you poped it in to 2nd when you started riding it 1st is a kick down from neutral

[@danandyong6653]

The "bolts with the rounded head" are acorn nuts

[@carterreynolds4947]

I just bought one the other day.. guy told me the piston rod was cracked I cleaned the carb and she ran like a dream kept shutting off when idling checked it it just needs oil -$400

[@jenniesgarage]

Good buy!

[@brucemanly7857]

Your little bike shows distinct signs of a tweeker doing a spray paint overhaul, good thing it's not wired for lights, you may have never figured it out. you can get some good deals from those guys as long as they don't steal it back..

[@xersuas258]

I bought a 1993 xr100 for 400 dollars from a guy and it had no top end plastics and the only thing that was wrong was the gastank leaked, Best deal of my life

[@stuvadhund]

So I've loosened these nuts, get it DEEZ NUTS HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@tomascharles5080]

I think you should just replace the brake line just incase you really need brakes and it fails from all the rust inside the brake line.

[@mikerafonemusic6177]

Tomas Charles i have a frozen cable i was barely able to move it after wd40 and bending it...sounds like sand in it..it needs a gas soak. Im determined its an oem xr 75 front brake cable i need it

[@patrickwoodward6597]

Great job ..and buy I hope.

[@SKUNKPROOF]

Hey, if your carb is dirty,clean your tank!

[@stephenkamp2255]

Hey man, I've been watching your videos for a while and I've just gotta ask how you've grown to figure out problems with the bike and fix them that easy. It's a goal of mine to be able to do what you to, love bringing life back into dead bikes

[@conorhutch5168]

Stephen Kamp I myself also work on small engines like this guy. The thing is just to watch different videos on KZbin and watch different programmes on TV like wheeler dealers to learn about engines. Also save up and buy yourself a non running motorcycle or anything with a small engine so you can learn more about engines. I recently swapped for a 110cc pitbike which was a non runner and learned a lot about engines from that bike. So my advice would be to watch videos on KZbin, watch car programmes on TV and save up and buy yourself something that's non running and fix it up. It's all a learning curve!

[@stephenkamp2255]

Conor Hutch thanks man, I recently tore two ligaments in my ankle and broke it so i just need something I can work on for fun. I've learned a lot from this channel too.

[@conorhutch5168]

Stephen Kamp this guy is very talented. You should watch some of his videos they will help

[@stephenkamp2255]

Conor Hutch yeah I've watched every single one of his videos that he's worked on bikes, wish there was more!! Haha

[@StrangeGarage]

@@stephenkamp2255 Gotta do it man. Get a bike and do it, it's the best way to learn, by far!

[@JJan50]

to remove spray paint use brake fluid, just wipe it on and leave overnight, then wipe it all off

[@LukeRobertsnz]

Like standard dot 4 brake oil or something?

[@mikerafonemusic6177]

Dont use brake cleaner it will ruin plastic...ask me how i know lol

[@vladyerus]

You sir are a very bad man!!! lol you make me want to take on another project but my wife already says i have to many :(

[@juniorakasuperman]

I love your videos

[@botadecasquillo]

Good job man!

[@FindItFixIt]

Looks like an old Honda 70 sl dirt bike they reissued and the early 2000s with all plastic

[@stephencresswell4760]

I think for something as important as brakes, I’d have treated it to a few dollars worth of new cable.

[@mikerafonemusic6177]

Stephen Cresswell some old bikes like xr 75's..its hard to find good fitting ones but if need be...

[@danstevens2204]

No jokes? All serious 😳

[@elliottbottoms1133]

very helpful video​ man

[@TWLML420]

There’s a mint condition XR 100 same year on the online rummage sale in my local area but the dude wants 1000 bucks for it and I feel that’s a little much I’m gonna wait till it comes down a few hundred and I’m a go hit him with 600 see if he takes it

[@colbybertelsen9303]

I have a yz85 you should look into getting one they are actually pretty good 2 strokes

[@mikerafonemusic6177]

colby bertelsen i got an '84 yz 80 basket case for $120. Motor was already rebuilt..i restored the whole bike..wont start might need new piston✌

[@AaronGoneWild]

U shifted into second first the gearing on this bike is 1 down half way up in nutral then second third etc.

[@___Eldritch]

1:19 Just guessing you pulled one line off your fuel pump and cycled your engine a few times.. just guessing.

[@christaylor4589]

Do you know how to shift 1 down all the rest up until 5 last gear you went into 2 when you first took off.

[@qneshqt6002]

Chris Taylor lol are you kidding bro he can break every little problem down you think he doesnt know how to shift

[@jojostorm]

U can start off in second I been riding since I was 10 and it's perfect fine to take up in second anything over that is bad

[@andrewpatrick1006]

are you not allowed to start off in any other gear????

[@jamespn]

Wow, these bikes have been through the war. Where are the diamonds in the rough?

[@mikerafonemusic6177]

Is this one of the two you recently picked up?

[@trailblazers2001]

yours wasn't as bad, mine was sitting longer than that bike was made

[@motoislife4007]

your like me i take off in second on my 100 it hasnt hit first in 20 years

[@TypicalPeen]

motoislife400 can i ask why?

[@lineartechbd1600]

it would have been easier to put two cable adjusters in series ,on the hand lever.

[@jessedemarcus8541]

Hi my name is Jesse and I was seeing if you can possibly do a video on a 1980 honda XL 180 s

[@connieramsdell7385]

Seems legit definitely dont look stolen lol 😐

[@CollinRoach98]

Did you have it on reserve at 6:14 for any reason or am I missing something? :P BTW great video. I have a 2002 XR100 thats pretty much perfect. It needs new plastics, a new skid plate, and new brakes. But other than that, it runs perfect.

[@jacobalford1939]

That's just like mine but mine is a 2003 model

[@charlienagel2196]

Clean up your mess of a work bench. How do you find anything in it?

[@turbinepower77]

The next project should be that poor table saw.

[@AllOutKreations36]

How much did you get the XR100 for

[@brucemanly7857]

That E-85 gas is really unforgiving when it sits.

[@juliam8151]

great video...would u happen to have an idea why my dirtbike shuts off unless im giving it gas constantly???....soon as i start it i have to be giving it gas at all times or it will shut off...it will not idel at all....its 99 hondaxr100

[@warlordgonagy143]

Try checking the idle speed screw. I don't know where exactly it is on a xr100, but you should be able to Google it. What that does is adjust the speed of the idle, and if it is to far in, the bike won't idle at all
