I watch all your work over and over. Best rebuild channel on you tube, aimed at the average home enthusiasts. No nonsense, no full restoration. Just what the home mechanic wants to see. Bravo sir.

Although the mechanics of the rebuild are critical, the most important aspects you nailed are the oem style seat cover, decals and fork boots. This seemingly small detail is what brings those of us that raced this bike right back to 1986.

At first I thought it was a Honda XL350 from the 1986 movie The Wraith.....As a kid I thought it was the XL600? Instead of the 350. I so wanted the Dodge M4S and the Honda XL lol.....I just checked the 350 had a 6th gear,22-ish hp & got like 86 mpgs. Top speed of 85-ish mph. The 600 only had 5 gears more hp,around 46 and 100 mph but only like 46mpgs. Not sure how much a 6th gear would bring hwy mpgs up. But if it'd add 20 more mpgs. I think it'd be well worth it. To make a good dual sport/true off road adventure bike.

I remember going to the Honda dealership with my brother and father because we wanted to buy a set of these, but the dealer wouldn't move a nickel on the price, so my old man walked. It turned out Honda only imported X amount of these, and it was far less than what the demand was, so dealers already had most of them sold before they even showed up. We ended up going to the Suzuki dealer and he moved considerably on the price and we ended up bringing home a 1985 RM 125 (mine) and 1986 RM 250. That Full Floater rear suspension linkage was a thing of beauty on the track. The engine was an upper mid-to-top-end monster! I didn't realize just how heavy all that linkage was until I traded it in a couple years later for the 1987 model. It was huge.

​@bobbyd4400 They were all top-end, plus the suspension was supreme back then. This was the first year for the cartridge forks, which were light years better than the regular forks, and like I said, the absence of all that rear linkage really lightened up the back of the bike. It felt twenty pounds lighter than the '85 model, but the design of the Full Floater made the rear of the bike track beautifully through the rough stuff like Unadilla.

What a beautiful bike, you did a fantastic job restoring it to its original beauty...just like I remember them back in the 80's when i was a young whipper snapper going crazy on these. I had the exact same model but the CR250 for many years, rode that bike all over the mountains of Saddleback Orange County Califiornia and even Big Bear mountain, without ever having a problem. What a legend. Thank you!

I like your videos, but I would never put stuff back together as dirty as you do. The time to clean it is when it is disassembled. That being said, good job on the rebuild. You need a vapor hone to clean off those parts. Your cylinder would have come out looking like new. Always change both sprockets AND the chain at the same time, otherwise, you will just eat up the new parts with the old worn out parts. It sure is pretty.

I think he's more worried about the bottom line, which you really can't blame him for. I used to leave small issues like this alone on purpose as a negotiation point. When a buyer points them out and I give them a small break on the asking price, they feel as if they're getting over a bit, but it's all a part of the plan.

I would rebuild the front shocks to ,they looked a bit soft when you kickstart it in the first video. Also if you change a worn sprocket it is always better to do the front and rear and chain at the same time. Now you run a have worn chain on a new back sprocket .This will only make the new back sprocket faster in to a sawblade again. Maybe you did replace them off camera. But hey ,this is a keeper. I was 16 when this model came out. And at that time Honda had the 22:59 first watercooled 50cc here in Europe ,the MTX dirtbike and the MBX streetbike. Both beauty’s.

The MTX and MBX and even their older brothers the MT-5 and MB-5 could easily run 110 Km/h by only taking the restricted exhaust pipe off and some port polish and change the jets in the carb. Had a couple of tickets back in the time when the police did a speed control. They parked at the bike exit at the schools with their roller bank to measure the speed, they put the back wheel on the roller bank and ran them through the gears. You got a ticket and a week time to show up at the police station to control if your bike didn't get faster than 40Km/h . As soon as you got home off with the restriction parts and ride until you get the next speed control.😉 Oh the 80 's what a nice time for teenagers,i miss that time.🥲

Tips, 3m super 77, is what I spray on the seat foam. I also use my heat gun to warm up gently the vinyl. So it's easier to work with. The 3m super 77, prevent the vinyl lifting off the foam. A plastic polish kit, may be something to think about, 1,000 and 2,000 grit wet sand and 1 micron polishing compound for plastic works great and a hand buffer. I'd probably have done that before applying stickers. I'd have done all the plastics. Water and soap, 2 tsp. To that bottle. And a vinyl scraper. For bubbles. Then let dry, before peel off. However old decals, seem to need to be heated up some, for the pre mask tape to come off easier in some cases. Also a little heat helps with it sticking better. Basically 1 to 2 medium fast swipes with it.

I remember being at Southwick for a typical local race early in the morning watching the fog dissipate from the sun burning it off and the smell of two-stroke in the air. This was back in the mid-eighties in the NESC - the premiere organization in New England for competitive motocross. It wasn't much later when the experts were at the gate about to hit the track for practice. I remember hearing these 125cc bikes screaming at full throttle cutting through the deep sand. I can still remember the smell of burning-hot exhaust pipes as the bikes flew past the fence. Guys like Joe Waddington, Badger Dzielak (?), Todd Richotte, Wemyss Scott, Jojo Keller, Pat Barton, and so many more of New England's fastest. Thanks, Joe for digging up one of these little gems. These memories will last until my final day. Great job. 👍

Really good video brother, hope you can take a little advice, not trying to bash you in any way... it's great to see guys (and gals) working on and fixing their own stuff... but with that said, please don't ever tighten triple clamp bolts after removing and replacing fork tubes until you get the front wheel back on and everything alinged and true, tighten the axle nut first, then the triple clamp bolts. it also helps if you mark the tubes at the clamps before removal... keep up the good work!

Two strokes do best with a sealed exhaust. I have found that setting the air fuel screw at idle till it get the highest RPM with no throttle then turn idle down and repete fine tune till it will idle at a super low RPM. Then adjust throttle stop screw (Not cable adjust on handle bars) to desired RPM. If you can get it to idle at 500 rpms then turn the idle stop so it idles at 800-1000 it will have low end grunt to build RPMS to hit power band with little bogging.The cable adjust should have a little slop in it so carb slide rests on the idle adjust screw. I raced two strokes in the 70s Boats-street and dirt bikes. A three cylinder kawasaki is a great teacher about how to tune a carb then sync it with two others. The ET slip tells you just how much you helped or hurt the tune. i

I had a kx125 that would seriously bring the front end up in alll 6 gears no problem it was scary fast. I had a honda 125 though that was like this that never worked to fix it I sold I didnt know near as much about working on them at the time or I would have fixed it and kept it. I hope this helps see how when your going in the faster gears it starts to kick in like the power valve is stuck open or something

Dude the inside where the water pump seals go is cracked. How it’s it you didn’t see that. There’s a reason no 2 strokes on here have ever ran right. Dude is right. You’d think as many bikes as you’d worked on you’d understand how to tune them and actually assess problems. It’s still gonna leak

With decals, affix to dry, clean surface and then spray water on top of the paper.before peling off. Works much easier.

Bud every time you twist the throttle you keep dumping fuel into the carburetor. It can only hold so much. Plus kicking it so much and so hard is not good on the parts. You need full kicks from top . I’m very glad to see you working on these bikes though. One word of advice is don’t be afraid to follow a manual. Specs are important and so is torquing your bolts. Most carb settings for a starting point is two full turns out. Thanks for the videos and keep it up

Hey i have been watching the whole series of you rebuilding this bike and i was wondering where you got all the parts, because i have a 1984 Honda MTX80r myself and the gearbox needs to be rebuilt. I can't find parts anywhere

Hairspray is the best thing to use to install grips, IMO. Slippery when wet, dries like glue. Geat video as always!

Then slippery again when it's hot. The best thing is clean rubber against clean metal bars. Use an air compressor to install them easily and they will not slip round.

Didnt the 86 cr125 have a power valve? Joe, you should really gather up 3 or 4 of your 80s 125s and go to a vet track and really give us a riding video. Little mini shootout. Love your channel. Premium entertainment.

Tip The chain stretches and the sprockets wear with the chain so to increase life of things change both sprockets and the chain not just one as it will speed up how the new parts wear.

You shoulda hit them shrouds with a torch to take out a lot of those scratches before putting the stickers on. Also some new black number plate backgrounds to really make it look clean.
