Buying Two Kawasaki Kx125 Dirt Bikes. Will They Run?

I start to dig into the two 1986 Kawasaki Kx125s that I bought and make one nice dirt bike out of the two. #Kawasaki, #Dirtbike, #Kx125,

I need to be up there by U cause ion like dirty bike but the old Kx I'll love to have one of them to add to my old bike COLLECTION got a 85 lt250r a 87 trx 250r just some about older bike is better then this new bike

[@RagdollRacingInc]

You gonna buy all the KX 2 stroke in your state hey Joe?

[@stephenblackstock1923]

Someone probably tightened the crap out of that chain so the bike could move without skipping teeth on the sprockets

[@stephenblackstock1923]

You can also find full plastics kits for those bikes here: www.dcvmx.com/xcart/home.php?cat=408

[@2vintage]

@@stephenblackstock1923 ah yeah that would make sense

[@eastonjoyner8574]

Hey man I have a 94 cr80 and I was wondering why it was not running good but i watched your vid on the 400$ cr and the crank seal was my problem to thanks it helped me alot.

[@gollxy3457]

Holy shit u don’t stop talking working on the bike damn

[@robquattro5419]

Electricians tape makes a perfect ‘temporary’ fix for the rubber inlet boots on the carb dude 👌🏼 just throwing that out there

[@N0nManfiold99]

I've seen people buy large shrink wrap and use high temperature silicon sealant in the crack with shrink wrap around the boot to seal it.

[@mototommy5525]

I can second that! Bit of superglue on the boot first then then electrical tape

[@jmendo2546]

Black permatex is oil resistant and works perfect. Clean it with brake clean first,and wipe off with clean rag , then when it dries press the permatex in cracks

[@ThePeavey23]

Scotch super 33+

[@robquattro5419]

I’m talking a temporary fix here guys to get you home in a situation or to run an engine when waiting for delivery of a new boot or whatever the circumstances may be. I’d not wanna make a half arsed job of attempting a ‘permanent fix’

[@mathewflick2959]

Can u show us all ur bikes u have got it would be mad...

[@lloydlynn8084]

Watch quite a few of these vids and always wondered why you check oil after you first start.

[@ni_wink84]

Rule #1, open air box before kicking bike over if it’s been sitting! Nothing like fur and poo to help the crank seals work lol!

[@deancurtis995]

Awesome content as always wonder how much you can get one shipped from the USA to the U.K. 🤔🤔🤔 I’d happily buy what ever you got left after making a good one 😉😎 plenty of parts still local here

[@RT-vo2vh]

I bet the higher compression on first bike may have been from the oil you put in cylinder ...

[@wesleyoos71]

Running rich and there's a good chance someone mixed the premix wrong. Put way to much 2 stroke oil in the gas. You said it looked oily

[@2clappedout477]

Great video! The KX125 is like my dream bike hit me up if your selling 😉

[@frankreinhardt441]

Putting oil in the cylinder before doing a compression test will give you a false reading.

[@shanelarock1290]

every possible thing is going wrong.... story of my life.

[@jethrolionheart182]

If only every 1 knew how true that is

[@tylermxmurphy6440]

Should have freshened frame would have looked sweat. Nice bye tho

[@sandmanbub]

Tony Hawk might be interested in buying the one that comes with a half pipe.

[@brianmeattey4151]

I bought some liquid electric tape and that would work good for a quick fix on the carb boot so ya I'd try that it's liquid electric tape .godbless and stay safe

[@KowboyUSA]

Every time I find a KX for under $1500 the seller never answers my calls or emails.

[@motostuff2596]

First

[@backwheelbandits2.0]

Nice collection of kawasakis I love Kawasaki allways has since a kid

[@brandonthatcher-fox5218]

Damn that’s cool!!!! Right now I’m working on a 84 kx125!!

[@jethrolionheart182]

Damn man leave some bikes for the rest of us 😢

[@BLSdarrin]

They are money pits ! I just completely restored a '96 KX125. I spent way to much money and time on that bike, and after finishing it March, I hated it. I guess I'm spoiled riding modern KTM's so I sold it a couple weeks ago at a loss but enjoyed building it. No more old bikes for me.

[@2vintage]

Oh man that sucks! Well at least you enjoyed building it!

[@vadimkargin3200]

Dude where you find these things?? Those are cool, I have a 89 kx125. I rebuild the whole bike. Also have a 89 kx125 complete roller minus the motor. Got it for $75 from a grandma lol. Would love to find a motor for that. Anyway do your thing, love the content.

[@Currancchs]

I have an '86 KX125 with a blown rear shock and have been looking for a replacement. If you have a spare, I'd love to buy it off of you!

[@flyboyfilms1714]

2:20 you said that the shock was junk because it was bouncy, my 1989 cr250 does that too, what’s wrong with it

[@gtisid]

its crazy a few years back if a dirt bike looked like that with numbers you would walk away, both of them look like they have been rinsed their whole lives but now guys are falling over themselves to get one...anyone anything will do. i am surprised it had such good compression my next thought would be the gearbox is funked as bikes with good compression like that are usually still being ridden

[@slabdaddy4209]

I like it when he checked for spark "oh baby"we got spark!!🤣🤣

[@richwalsh4332]

love this vid all the work u did to it and it still broke up i would of been swearing like crazy great jod i have watched about 10 of your vids love them

[@texaspoontaper5813]

Where do you find these I’m not but a couple hours from Appleton and can’t find any dirt bikes ever

[@justcruzn9528]

Dude DC Plastics make replacement oem plastics for those bikes, just google DC Plastics man ay !

[@andronikhanson2785]

Haha, compression test with throttle open, hmm, no carburetor on it, but it does have excellent compression.

[@brysonpucci1844]

I would love to see a xr600r on the channel I have one they are awsome and very powerful bikes!!

[@jettseng429]

Would you sell any? Prices are crazy right now want something for summer

[@kingkongthemann932]

I was just watching the video where your brother blew up your bike

[@HooligansMx]

With the price bikes are goin for right now anyone with a brain would clean up and get running both those bikes

[@rhiantaylor3446]

Pretty much cornered the Kawasaki dirt bike market !!!

[@NetoBanshee]

Sweet old bikes

[@davidhammoud8214]

I actually guessed the 160 compression

[@biglek3232]

What more dirt bikes lol, Joe do you see many old British bikes over there 😉

[@troyaldridge3853]

You should do a video of younselling the bikes you never donthat and you should

[@troyaldridge3853]

Get it running first who cares about the cosmetics at.this point

[@scottspencer1383]

[@aatutoivanen4117]

[@tysonturnervlogs13]

I traded away an 86 I had never ran it cause I didn’t dig far into it

[@robertoguerrero4043]

Do you have a klx 125 engine for sale ? Mine is dine

[@bray2raww995]

I need a crank shaft for my 95 someone help me out please

[@jakemiranda2469]

You should build both as twins then give one away

[@mb6060]

Do you just buy these to get started or trying to restore them

[@kurtyoung6769]

Please move the camera slowly! Thanks

[@HotRodDave]

Good deal on those old KX's

[@brianking1138]

I had an 85 kx 125 and it was a fun bike.

[@backwheelbandits2.0]

Nothing wrong with that back sprocket 😂I'd turn it around and file it.. be grand for few spins...trust me iv done it 🤣😂..

[@shotgunz124]

Those bikes both need fixed u need find another one to use as parts or just eBay parts

[@shotgunz124]

The gas that’s in is probably better than that cheap ass Lucas oil u use lol go buy some 927 or factory Yamaha it’s cheap

[@gavinchambers4520]

How much would you want for the extra bike because I've been looking for a 125 2-stroke but I cant find any so If you could give me some advice on where to look for one that would be awesome

[@jamespower4342]

That kx sounds really good you should just make 2 bikes out of them would be sick as and try do a really good job on this sounds like a solid engine
