First Start Attempt On Kx 250 Dirt Bike! (Will It Start?)

I end up doing some last minute finishing touches to the 1995 Kawasaki Kx250. I change the oil, clean the carburetor and then attempt the FIRST start on this dirt bike. Will it run after sitting? #Kawasaki, #FirstStart, #2stroke,

[@carsonjohnson1845]

2vintage do they have bling kits or just stuff to make just to make it run better

[@adamborrowman7904]

You should use castor 927 for your premix it’s the best out there and the reviews and performance and longevity of the top end using it proves it!

[@mattjones1792]

Why don’t u get a yz250 2 stroke 02-present or new and a yz125 same years

[@adamborrowman7904]

Matt Jones he’s had a yz before

[@ryooperdude3144]

All you guys judging his skilles he works on way more bikes and quads then you probably ever will. He is very ambitious and skilled at his age for self taught. Keep up the good work.

[@2vintage]

Thanks man!

[@carsonjohnson1845]

Yes he is!

[@wd-40everything65]

No matter what level mechanic abilities you have someone's gonna be there to beat up on your approach or tactics tools or even what you wear! The webs can be vicious!

[@n2vxc]

there are some judgemental and disrespectful people , but when he titles things like it rips,,its sick or a beast and they barley run? I think that's why people are hard on him..Kinda comes off as trash talking. and as others have commented most of his stuff barley runs. that is all!!

[@2vintage]

Williams all the machines I get are ancient. I always get them running. The point of this channel is to get the bikes revived not perfect!

[@wd-40everything65]

Bike looks and sounds pretty damn good but I would have shut it down as soon as I heard metal to metal! Lucky it was a simple fix and no shrapnel! 👍

[@matt12251975]

When I heard the grinding, I thought the video was over.... I would've been like, SHT! But you are good bro. Look forward to all of your content. Thanks

[@carsonjohnson1845]

Yep

[@firstname5418]

I peeped that smile on your face when she cranked right up second kick lol sweet bike. P.S. tell charlie to stop taking steroids lol

[@digitalnino3321]

U lot gotta stop being so out of order in the comments, he might not have all the knowledge in the world but hes doing what makes him happy so instead of hurling insults at him 24/7 why dont you motorbike fanatic einsteins give him advise other than hate?hes clearly teaching himself and he has every right to do that...big up 2vintage for still uploading and doing what makes him happy!its rare to find people who dont let the hate etc bring them down!!!

[@tealover01]

That thing really is fast and smokes like the kids wheelchair on the silver bullet movie!

[@rockman49er]

The kid ? YOU MEAN CORY HAIM

[@Hanky_Bannist8r]

It sounds pretty healthy for sitting for a couple years. Good job on getting it back going and giving it a new life.

[@Strxppp]

@2vintage i hate to be the guy but you know a lot more than probably half these people and I’m definitely learning some new things from you keep up the hard work and don’t let these people that want attention from talking crap get to you!

[@cg9542]

No disrespect dude I think your videos are great but I think you need to tune the carbs on your 2 strokes better. All of the 2 stroke bikes I have seen you work on all sound like they are choking, either too much air or too much fuel. Keep up the good work man just a bit of constructive criticism lol. 🤘

[@2vintage]

Yeah I will have to fine tune this one a bit.

[@MattiasE]

Nice that bike bring back memories. had just a 92 like that😎

[@smallenginekid6252]

I have a 92’ kx125

[@chrisjones7869]

I have a 98 Suzuki RM 250 and love it. It's vintage like me😁 plenty if power in every gear. Needed crank bearings and a top end when I got it. Nice otherwise. Rips now!!!

[@finster7582]

When she finally opened up, she sounded crispy! Looks like a great bike! That scrapin sound scared the hell outta me tho! 😆👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Builditathome-Restoration]

What a luckey find! Lets race joe me on my pitbike from the build series😁

LMAO whats that noise??? a clutch basket bolt coming out!!! LOL

[@foolsperspective]

LOL, get your brother on a vintage 3-wheeler and get him a picture riding a willy... Ol boy looks like a young Bruce Jenner.... also you've come along way.. good work

[@theflyingclutchco.5918]

I had the exact same noise coming from my buddy’s ‘95 KX250, weirdly. His turned out to be the kickstarter rattling and vibrating against the frame. Strange coincidence 😂

[@richkidd1063]

Race it with the cr 250 the BEAST

[@mikelwmc]

Very nice find. Great job man!

[@dannyberentes3436]

Damn that's a good bike keep up the good work at least you dont have to depend on other people

[@dublinbikereire]

Sounds crispy 👌🏻

[@chrisjones7869]

I predicted 4 kicks but 2 is awesome👍👍🤘🤘

[@coolfolksride2strokes762]

[@run4guns871]

Is this because it's a Japanese made bike? XD good one

[@thamenace9985]

[@maxxmarko4352]

That's a minty bike forsho. Lovin what you're doing man keep on keepin on hammer time:)

[@morgn_hoslr]

my friend had same year and same kind of dirt bike it was very good bike with some good power----- nice find

[@markvosskamp1904]

I love your vids

[@jamesfix8443]

Love the shoes haha

[@smallenginekid6252]

Best running bike and best find on the channel!!!

[@EJ-74]

I honestly went with 2-3 kicks that second one didn't count because the second didn't fully kick over as you pointed out so I was on the money LOL Any bike that is getting correct fire fuel and compression should start no more than 2-3 kicks In my experience with bikes it always worked that way for me If it didn't crank in 2-3 kicks I knew something wasn't exactly right and it would bug me to death till I figured it out LOL ✌️

[@sandmanbub]

If you can fix the leak easily, adding an extra gasket should move the cover far enough away from the clutch. I'd hammer it straight again and have it welded, brazed at the least

[@m8fusion712]

Good video man

[@Pittsburgh-412]

This bike is running pretty good imo

[@jeredalmeida1880]

Nice one, bruvvah! I'd buy it if you could get it to Denver

[@thecrewbmx]

That bikes actually sick

[@tylornetzer2103]

Nice bike should get another blaster

[@mikec8011]

Sweet bike.

[@hectorzer0ni]

I love your videos keep up the great work and god bless you

[@fortnitejoe3973]

Yes

[@jackpelliccia6294]

Great video 👍👍👍

[@lloydlynn8084]

I always found Kawasakis to be the easiest bikes to work on. Very well designed.

[@davidbrilmyer2354]

Awesome bro good runner!!!!I'm trying to find a 2502stroke to trade my quad for!!!!

[@jaydenvlogsgames8662]

The grinding could also be the clutch plates not separating all the way I had a ktm 85 sx and it had the same problem when ever I rode it I made a adjustment and put different oil in it and it worked fine after I took it for a quick ride

[@jamesgeorge1709]

Wow good job

[@jimbob2013]

Clutch basket

[@adriananderson8194]

Mines was doing the same thing but turns out I needed clutch plates

[@run4guns871]

okay so... I'm gonna start packing my things up and moving over there if that cool? XD lol. IDK why, but the prices you get these things for is just amazing. this bike is treated gorgeously and you paid 1200 for a simple clutch bolt? My god, i'll come over there ASAP lol. Not that far of a drive :P Edit: Also, isn't there suppose to be a gasket on that clutch cover? I know my yfz 450 has one but that doesn't mean all quads and bikes should. Just seems like the proper thing it should have. IDK, just something to check out my man!

[@amberfleenor9101]

Sick dude

[@lbarura4627]

Kawis are the best

[@pavloneone]

Nice video I guess 8 kicks

[@rictan6866]

kick with the boot good luck i hope for the best?

[@robertgisthebest]

Nice bike! Running really rich on the pilot circuit, a 50 would probably be plenty.

[@camdencobb5146]

Love the vids

[@rondon9968]

Does that clutch cover have a hole from the brake pedal smacking it?

[@supercrossdave1570]

10 kicks.

[@elivandyke8180]

Your the best

[@whitexro125]

Yeees

[@sixpacksandsrts9122]

Get you some of the aluminum rods from harbor freight and mod gas and braze that’s hole shit bud. Shit works great works on all non ferrous metals. Just use it correctly.

[@jamesa4290]

It sounds mint

[@angusbrady6445]

When are you going to finish the for wheeler

[@pjgameing1331]

First kick

[@reggiexp69]

i got a clapped kx125 1988 lol (in a trade) 400€ i got the bike lets say engine 'has been rebuilt' by the owner befor. mine just rode it twice got scared, i traded it against a PC i build and had for sale for 550€ only got offers for 500€ and i paid 400€ for the pc a while back. so yeah it run and starts great the kx just has a fuel tank from a 250 bike and seems like the pipe is a bit rough, exhaust might be leaking also there is oil EVERY WHERE on the pipe and exhaust. needs new chain for sure. doesnt have the front brake caliper... tough to find doh... for a the 88... gonna give it a good clean, and see from there... my friend already wants to buy it from me... i didnt even had time to ride it really lol ow also did get 3 tyres with it. my first real dirt bike MOTO CROSS as we call it. i got 2 smal dirt bikes a 12/10" and a 14/12" one both 125cc small ones prety fun. but this kx125 HOLY SHIT its tall

[@Euroaddiction87]

I use that same will my bike while back and it made the clutch slip and mine's a 97 KX125 so it might make yours, too just so you know

[@mattjones1792]

Why don’t u get a yz250 2 stroke 02-present or new and a yz125 same years

[@jacobstarzynski1344]

I’m going to look at a 1986 ds80 today😁

[@dwalker2431]

I use AMSOIL SYNTHETIC 100/1 MIX TALK ABOUT THROTTLE RESPONSE

[@fenceacefreeze3046]

If u quickly want to do the clutch just lay bike on side and u can leave oil in.guess that's a bit of race track mechanics but ya saves Makan a mess for me.

[@anthonylemke284]

Late but idk just a thought if you still have it would you ever be willing to sell it?

[@rexstonbull250]

sounds away better .

[@jimbobroy5566]

Mate have question my radiator is pushing coolant into overflow bottle lil scared to ride might cook

[@sixpacksandsrts9122]

Check the cap bud. Some get warped. Or just worn out. Start it with the cap off just to see its not blowing out. Meaning compression

[@jimbobroy5566]

@@sixpacksandsrts9122 yeah will do it's a lil late where I am atm so I'll get back to ya in the morning with some results/ question

[@5KMF]

Hey can someone help me out. What are are prime kicks and what do they do??

[@MrPoudoS]

Wrong idle adjust, keihin pj tune your idle by turning the choke knob

[@sandmanbub]

Whoop!

[@1leggedmedia]

You need an aluminum welder to fix this stuff. You are one lucky sob that's for sure wow amazing bike

[@gtisid]

great find but something sounds horrible, might be dried out bearings from being empty of oil possibly little end maybe? it’s way noisier than exhaust note

[@wd-40everything65]

The KX and KDX are all noisy! The kips valve on these bikes rattle like crazy and I've never seen a quite one!

[@gtisid]

WD-40 Everything maybe i haven’t owned a kawasaki yet. almost sounds like a buzzing noise

[@wd-40everything65]

Yep that's the kips valve and they drive me nuts as it just doesn't sound right.

[@bibo5017]

This man just doesn't buy any 4 strokes 2 wheeled

[@budgetrebuild695]

5 kicks I have faith

32 mo to every litre of fuel

just needed to have the. idle up

[@gokarting1018]

Man if u just ordered the full top end for the 400 the racing 440 top end cylinder up cam racing head and it’s like $400 or less

22:02 2 stroke clearing out, easily one of the most satisfying things.
