$800 Dirt Bike Trade Deal Starts First Kick After Getting Home (Miracle Trade)

[@brokenboyfilms48]

Just started watching your videos. I just want to make a point that when you’re bleeding the brakes you do not bleed the air out but leaving the bleeder screw open… every time you release the brake you’re allowing air into the system.. you need to pump and hold tension on the lever and then release bleeder and don’t let off the lever until you tighten the bleeder back up.. the front brake should not touch the grip as it still has air in the system..

[@prophez23]

Yeah I'm afraid I'd pay $800 all day every day for a nice running bike like that. Heck of a deal. As usual great content.

[@MrMecano]

yeah he's 800 into the trade bike, but it's a 500$ bike with 300$ worth of pieces and 1000$ worth of expertise and labor ahahah, im doing similar to his stuff with old dirtbike and yeah, you wouldnt get that bike for 800$ cash, all im sayin!

[@SaafeTy]

I almost got a mint 1985 cr125r off marketplace for $800 yesterday… just missed out was second to message and sold as I was about to leave to see it

[@2vintage]

Thanks for watching! I appreciate it!

[@reggiexp69]

he didnt pay 800€ the trade he did cost him 800$ but im curious what he traded he didnt tell

[@cheto2952]

That bike is worth more than 800. It's worth 1,500 to 1,800 easy.

[@badlyniceness2315]

Tip: An easy way to pop those oil filters out is to get a pair of needle nose, stick them in the hole, and then open them up so they press against the inside of the hole, then just pull it out.

The look on your face when it started on first kick was priceless! Good for you man!

[@262fallguy]

But it didn't start on the first kick🤷 he kicked it several times

[@nachodog7766]

Here's a great tech tip I learned from watching the Mustie1 KZbin channel. When you need to clean the float needle seat, take a Q-tip and put it in a drill. Then run it in the float needle opening with a little carb cleaner. It will polish the needle seat as it's cleaning the passage. He would cut the Q-tips in half so you'd get 2 uses out of each one. Keep up the great content. Congrats on your success and the acquisition of the new lot.

[@tomstott1140]

Just a quick tip , back the chain adjusters all the way into the swingarm before adjusting or taking links out of the chain , surely you could have taken more links out . Great mechanic , keep up with the vids. Watching from the UK

[@AL4N.]

Just a quick tip, if you have to remove links, the chain has stretched and needs replaced.

[@AL4N.]

@Matthew-wn8oq you said when you buy new chain. We are talking about taking links out of old chain. Pay attention. Schmuck

[@namtech425]

Yup that 2006-2007 - I owned one and raced it for ears, they are rock solid aside form the crappy valves, get some Kibble White titaniums and your sorted.. From 2008 they got DFi (digital fuel injection) They were kinda janky. Nice looking machine.

[@monte4283]

What a great deal! It’s great watching Vinny chasing behind you while you were test riding. Amazing he isn’t scared of the sounds of the bikes when you fire them up. 👍🙂

Thanks again Joe for great video! SO glad that thing started for you. ANOTHER thing: I want to personally thank you for your character, you obviously love your wife and I've never heard you use bad language, and that means a lot to me as a Christian & a pastor of a church (Boise ,ID area) My son and I have bought and rebuilt dirt bikes since he was little, and since I was a kid.

@@2vintage The TTR125 video- so sad! Here's the GOOD news! We just bought one heavily abused and not running, got it running, discovered 2nd gear has a missing tooth- never split a TTR case before, so your video is going to help me out! Very familiar with CR & YZ250's, but never a TTR : )

[@1176hambone]

My guess at 11 min. Carb clean. Valve shim. Fluids. Brake bleed. Good to go.

[@damonmantz1252]

Definitely shouldn’t pump the brakes with the bleeder open

[@2vintage]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@DarrellDrinkwine]

get yourself a ultra sonic cleaner with carb cleaner in it. Some q-tips and aluminum polish work wonders on the needle and seat. You wont regret it. When you bleed brakes you either vacuum the fluid through the bleeder, or you push the lever with the bleeder open then let it up with the bleeder closed. Just pumping the brake with the bleeder open will draw air back into the caliper.

[@peterdonnelly6804]

I love how Vinnie made air as he followed you over the little jump.

[@2vintage]

He is quite a little dude! Thanks for watching!

[@freetoride003]

[@jaime7890]

Hey Joe, just wanted to say. When you removed the OIL cap for the filter, there should be a spring on the middle that holds and pushes the filter in, it appears that it was missing when you removed the cap at 16:00

[@nickolasvaughn667]

Ya I seen that too I wonder if you actually need that spring

[@2vintage]

Thanks for the observation! I appreciate it! I will check it out!

[@JohnnieBravo1]

Vinnie is going to be a Super Dog, and a Cardio Monster with all that running chasing those bikes and ATV's all his life. I use the Cratex rubberized abrasives on a 1/8" mandrel to clean and polish float seats. The cylindrical ones polish the barrel of the seat, and a conical one will dress where the needle fits, like lapping a valve. Those things are awesome for that kind of work. Also used for porting and polishing, with different grits. They are VERY pricey though.

[@theyzoomers]

Till he gets hit lol 😊then he will be flatten

[@2vintage]

Vinnie loves chasing the machines! He definitely is Super Dog! Thanks for watching!

[@thediddly]

Thanks for this comment im definitely needing those cratex!

[@kalaharimine]

Another good job Bud, very nice. I would have moved the axle back to zero before cutting a shorter chain though to get more chain tension option in the future.

[@nalegtx8336]

love the videos. My brother and I do the same thing, but not to the extent in which you do. One of the best tools I've invested in was a nice ultra sonic cleaner. Really helps removing crud/rust/grim from any and all parts. Also nice for those extra grimey carbs. It is a time saver for the dirty ones. Keep up the great work, you are inspiring a new gear head generation.

[@johnholliday1796]

2-1/2 turns on the fuel screw, 50 leak jet(inside the bowl) time the ap to just miss the slide (usually all the way out on the screw) and put an o-ring around the adjustment arm and the ap lever 180 main 50 pilot will stop the bogging from idle to 1/4 throttle The purpose of the leak jet slows down how much fuel is returned to the bowl from the ap shot if anyone didn’t know

[@jebrc]

never pump the brakes when the bleeder is open its just allowing it to suck air in the bleeder i open the bleeder push the brake then close the bleeder while keeping the brake in works every time or use a self bleeder

[@2vintage]

Thanks for watching! Vinnie is extremely fast! I can hardly keep up with him!

[@fraserritchie4693]

Putting a hose on the bleed nipple that runs into a bottle for old brake fluid is a much cleaner way to bleed brakes and reduces the chance of getting fluid on your pads, also crack open the bleed nipple when the brake is under pressure. This makes purging air much easier.

[@fpbuzz]

When you pulled off the oil filter cover, I didn't see a spring. There should be a spring between the cover and filter. You want to make sure it's there, it keeps the filter tight against the case, it's important. Nice bike.

[@2vintage]

Thanks for the suggestion! I appreciate it!

[@caperperformance4849]

When you bleed brakes you pump it up untill it builds pressure, hold brake in, then crack bleeder as your holding brake. Close bleeder and repeat untill no air

[@freetoride003]

When you realize the compression release is a hot start

[@mrvoorhees2627]

You should invest in an ultrasonic cleaner for carbs and dirty parts they save all the hassle and work really well. Good content as usual 👍👍

[@jamiedominy2686]

Loving the videos, great enthusiasm, problem solving and im learning from you. A little tip though...that air noise you think is coming out is actually air going in. Bleeding brakes is not as simple as undoing the nipple and pulling the lever a few times. There is a procedure that needs to be followed and there is more than one way to skin a cat. The way I do it is, put a tube and botle over the nipple then undo the nipple and pull the lever, when you have the lever fully depressed tighten the nipple and repeat till you get a firm lever. Also tap the caliper if you are struggling to get a firm lever. but like i said my way is not the only way. Subbed!

[@brianwayne4869]

this is about your skid steer=you can buy a tooth bar that bolts onto the bucket. it will make digging a lot easier. also when you build a track DO NOT take the dirt from the track , it will leave low spots that will fill with water and make the track muddy. a good piece of advice is find a place away from the track for the extra dirt.

[@JKrause616]

I might have missed it, but I'm assuming you traded the DR650 for it? That is definitely a stock silencer with just an FMF sticker on it. Hopefully, you will do another day in the life vlog, maybe show some more fishing. Thank you for the great content multiple times a week.

It is a 2008. 06 had steel frame. Clean the carberator, check camchain tension, check valve-clearens.. 👍

[@JKrause616]

2006 was the first year Kawasaki had the aluminum frame for their 250f. Suzuki didn't update their 250f until 2007, and that's when I'm assuming their partnership ended.

[@joepuzio8549]

Just so you know, there’s supposed to be a spring on the inside of that oil filter cap to hold tension on the filter

[@lucascady4992]

Little TLC and that would sell for $2500 all day! Do the regular carb clean, oil change, set the valves, new chain, etc.! Excellent score! As many times that you have to clean Carb's, you should invest in a ultrasonic cleaner 👍
