As soon as it started you could hear the cam chain rattling like crazy. Sounded almost like it had no tensioner. Guess we’ll find out. Another good learning experience.

[@deannorton9748]

same thing has just happend to my 2017 kxf 450, cam tensioner failed threw cam chain off, locks up as the piston is hitting valves, new tensioner and cam chain just to be safe, and shes running like a beauty again thank god, i was on a track aswell i shit my pants haha

[@ronaldtentschert6876]

I heard it too.

[@itsnotnewo5254]

I heard it too. Sounded like the cam chain or crank bearings 🤷‍♂️

[@yamahakid450f]

I couldn't tell if that's what I heard or detonation, it's hard to hear, especially while it's idling to the moon on a brand new engine, then giving it throttle ontop of that. Every video "it sounds good" meanwhile you hear that, or a 2 stroke that's sputtering or detonating, especially when he's riding them and has load on the engine.. He's a good mechanic for sure, good at diagnosing issues, but he doesn't know how to tune a bike, what he's listening for, or what a properly tuned bike sounds like....and he revs the piss out of everything for absolutely no reason at all.

[@kohlervitek557]

Yea no shitttt I heard it making a no no sound and was like no way this guys gonna ride it rn

[@jozsef6453]

At the end when you started it in the field i literally went like "damn that rebuilt engine might have a slight noise to it" Sounds like its definitely gonna be rebuilt now lol.

It's like people have no idea what they on about rattle that you hear in garage is normal it's vibration.

[@tracysellman1562]

What a huge bummer. Joe, I have learned many things in my life, but one lesson I have learned in my 65 years, is never to assume anything! I would have torn down the top end on that bad boy, just because someone else said they rebuilt it, doesn't mean they did it right or have your level of competence in rebuilding engines. I have seen some of the stupidest shit in a ledgy rebuilt engine. Things only being halfway installed or put in upside down or backward. Seals not seated Etc. Can't wait to see what the FUBAR is with this one! :) PS: I am thinking the chain guide was not installed right or locked in and the chain came off letting the valves hit the top of the piston, plus when you are in there look at that spark plug-hole threads, I think they may be buggered up and may need a thread chasing. Just a thought.

[@markkerin5699]

I had a foreman once tell me. You never get what you expect. Only what you inspect.

[@mementomori4972]

If someone doesn't have the competence to clean the carbs, he certainly doesn't know how to rebuild an engine. That would be a red flag, but to Joes credit, he checked the timing, the valve clearance was perfect and the timing chain looked very good too,...soooo. I would have probably done the same and blew the engine.

[@Hammerback0]

Must be a lot of people with my skill level. Give me a decent running engine, a spark plug, and tools. Two hours and a sweat soaked floor later, that bike will be scrap metal😂

[@RT-vo2vh]

Exactly .... 50k+ views so far ... then it locks up which is another 50k view video ... plus all the hater comments ... its called a business model ...

[@Odder-Being]

Nah, you give him to much credit.

[@Odder-Being]

He did the same stupid shit when his channel just started. It took him a year to not rev cold engines to the moon etc. I think he is somewhat deaf ( He doesn't hear a slipping clutch/engine that mis-fires/engine rattling in frame/valve knocking/jetting slightly of etc). and maybe compulsive disorder (OCD). Watch him closely he never takes a step back and think for 2 seconds.

[@minnesotatomcat]

Joe doesn’t seem like he really stages anything. I think what happens is what he shows.

[@angelaprost6876]

I have to believe this as well. He just suddenly forgot how to hear a tick, after investigating the same noise countless times before? He creates content. I'm not mad.

[@camazar1]

I would bet money it’s the Cam chain. I’ve heard stories about those things dropping chains!! Personally I steer clear of anything 4 stroke if you don’t know the history of the the competency of the rebuilder! Obviously the guy wasn’t too freaking bright if he missed a pilot jet, and I plugged breather or fuel line! That’s the first stuff to check! The simple stuff! Great video!

When you first started it up, you could hear timing chain slapping around. This would also be the reason for hard starting and needing to pump fuel.

[@stanRmeyer]

Note to Future self:... when seller claims to have rebuilt the top end, Buyers protocol: double check timing chain tension!

[@waffalobill]

When will he stop believing the seller. How many bikes and quads has he been told are fresh rebuilds and turned out to be hammered shit. He's to trusting. To much metal in the oil to be a fresh rebuild. It had a glitter cloud in it and some pieces. It wasn't knocking tho. I was thinking crank /connecting rod bearing again.

[@chriswedgwood9673]

@@waffalobill I was shocked when the spark plug was really tight, and then he couldnt get the compression tester to go in. At that point I would have stopped and taken the engine apart.

[@waffalobill]

​@@chriswedgwood9673I'm always leery about the ones that say just rebuilt it, can't get it to start. I would go over everything they did. I would never jump on a bike and not check the axle nuts, triple tree etc. stuff that will kill you if they left it loose. The guy probably half assed the rebuild or didn't even do one. Bet the bottom end hasn't been done either.

[@stkyfngrszmooth]

Personally, whenever a customer would tell me they did "this" or "that" to their bike and proceed to tell me they're a dentist by trade, I double-check everything they said they did. Plus, it's easy to spot the phonies just by asking them a few mechanical questions and listening to their answers. When they start making no sense, it's full tear-down time.

[@waffalobill]

​@@stkyfngrszmoothshould have took a couple driveway test laps before loading it up. The glitter cloud in the oil said there was issues. You could see metal flakes. He seen them. I would have checked them with a magnet. Anyone who drops the serious coin in a bike to rebuild the top and bottom end but not do the water pump seals? Coolant ran right thru it. He gave him the seal so he knew it was pooched. He actually tryed to start and run a fresh rebuild with no coolant? Think Joe got took again. Can usually see new gaskets. I can't see them. He didn't check the cases before buying it? He's got shafted like that before. But maybe he did look. That looks was for us. Not sure. It's hard to tell on the video. The sound isn't the same as standing there. It always sounds noisy. Can't tell by sound on our end. Real curious. But I think he got took again.

[@DOINKS-R-USS]

Most KZbinrs wouldn't of shown that at the end of rebuild don't worry you will rebuild it better than before hopefully 😊 gonna be a great build for sure keep your chin up brother 🖤

[@gbaker929]

Amazes me how many videos of Joe's I watch, and the non-starting issues turn out to be because of the carburetor.

[@angelaprost6876]

Looks like a lot more than a carb now😬

[@epk2027]

Glad to see you’ve learned how subframe disengagement makes removing the carb easier

[@stkyfngrszmooth]

Absolutely! I've been trying to tell him this also. Plus, you don't have to twist and contort the intake boots risking tearing them. Trying to wrestle the carb out instead of removing the subframe is a sign of a hack in my book.

[@epk2027]

@@stkyfngrszmooth I raced ama motocross for 20 years,I was my own mechanic. Some of the first bikes I owned didn’t even have a removable subframe. When they first came out with it it didn’t take me long to figure that removing it made carb access a breeze. I wouldn’t call him a hack just a little bit green yet,he’s still young and will have plenty of time to learn from his mistakes. Like the time I dropped a brand new outer clutch basket on the garage floor. Sad thing is I had to special order it ,twice

[@stkyfngrszmooth]

@epk2027 Oh man this reminds me of the time I was trying to flat-file the grooves out of the clutch basket of my '87 RM 125 and my father saw me and said "I have a better idea." He grabbed it and set it up in the Bridgeport and proceeded to shave the grooves out, and he got to the very last set of grooves and accidentally bumped the handle and snapped the tang(?) right off. Then he stuck me with the $80 replacement bill.

[@charlesshort4287]

He should be able to hear that the engine doesn't sound right, he's just doing this for the video and he'll rebuild the engine in time, For more contact, but he knew the engine was not right by the sound of it, I do enjoy watching this channel and I'm for sure everyone else does as well,

[@epk2027]

@@charlesshort4287 when I watch any car ,motorcycle,or even home renovation videos I always think about ,what and how , I would do it . Sometimes when I watch his videos I want to jump right in there and say “do it this way it’s easier “other times,especially with 4 stroke motors, I end up learning something new from him. Back when I motocrossed I worked entirely on 2 strokes, 4 strokes were for lawnmowers or snowblowers. I watched him one time start a bike on fire , he learned from that mistake for sure but I commend him for posting it and not just simply editing out that rookie mistake ,as he could’ve easily have done too in this video. Never rely on someone trying to sell you his bike that his rebuild was done right,especially if you didn’t get to hear it run before you buying it.

[@pjm204]

I'm always nervous when the previous owner rebuilt it. Bought a cbr250r cheap, non running, that the PO rebuilt. I found clutch springs missing, bolts not torqued down. Glad it never started or it would have blown up for sure. I got it all sorted and it was a great bike.

I currently have this bike and it was cool to see it being worked on. tension on the chain was low, those tensioners on the side of the cylinder head can be a pain to deal with cause they are auto tensioning. I bet the last guys put it on wrong. The weird thing is the valve train is really loud on these bikes and it sounds like they're rattling apart at full throttle. Also, id recommend putting actual trans oil in it 80/85W, it works a bit better. Should be fun to watch a rebuild on the bike though!

When you check the cam chain it was fine but the tensioners are known to be fine when you check them by hand but under force they decompress when they fail causing loose chain causing catastrophic events.

Will be good to see what it was. It happened to me when I refreshed my 93 CR125 (in 93). I used a Wiseco piston and did not mic it. It was oversized, so when the engine heated up under load it locked up. Frustrating, but that should always be checked, just like the ring gap. Absolutely not saying it was your fault, but it does happen that new parts get shipped out of spec. Same exact noise/ reaction by the way.

Looks like you need a bore-scope. That way, you can check spark plug threads, piston, and valves. Saved me lots of time when twisted wrenches for Ford. Hopefully, you can get her going easily after that quick spin.

na he spend all his money on a spark plug tester

Why aren't you using a small chair or the central stand of the bike to stand on it with your left leg when kicking the bike over? You will be sitting on a higher point and you will have a lot more leverage kicking it over, a lot more pedal travel with a higher impulse and you don't put so much tension on your right leg. What if it kicks back and your thigh is bent over to the back? if you are over the bike standing upright, you might have a chance saving that knee. Btw cool content you have and super patience. Awesome. keep up the great work. enjoying watching you.

Bummer on the misfortunate situation, but I'm eager to see what you find out. Every setback is a learning opportunity.

That's why when people tell me I just did a total rebuild, I questioned there skills , cus if I don't build it or it's done by a reputable shop I don't trust anyone

When it first started off there was a weird sound I felt it was some plastic rattling but when it blew up I think it must be the timing chain tension was loose

Great Job

Wait, wait…when you first started it I was yelling at my screen saying, “it will blow up in 2 seconds”😉
