Disassembling the Rusty '75 TS185!

[@GoldGuyRides]

I'm parting it out! Lol just kidding. I hope you guys liked this Fridays video! Stay tuned for next Tuesday, i'll be working on the TS185 again! BIG THANKS to my patrons: Nikita Glybin Matt Drui Dominic Bowers

[@ghettosanta2786]

It's a 1977 not a 1975 im enjoying the vids tho I have a 1972and 1974 ts185

@@ghettosanta2786 I have a 1977 suzuki ts 185 sierra enduro as well love the bike .

[@PippyCr4zy]

It is a drain plug bolt for the exhaust just Incase inside get a lot of moisture/humidity built up and Incase who ever would be dumb enough to run it through some deep water as well not important part, but do put it back on it will reduce back flow quite a lot if you do not learned my lesson on my first Suzuki dirt bike when I was little

[@ianloughney9570]

Since two strokes burn oil the bolt is a drain plug for any unburnt oil that collects in your exhaust. Since the expansion chamber sits lower than the exhaust outlet you could feasibly have it be half full of oil and running like crap and with no drain plug youd just be up a creek.

[@bens1502]

Yes I have one of these and getting the junk out of the exhaust is important, one of the first things I'd check if it was running bad, mainly cuz it's easy. Makes cleaning the thing waay easier. And its important for power in a 2 stroke.

[@GoldGuyRides]

Wow I didn't know that was such a problem with 2 smokes. Thanks!

[@austinchadwick4814]

That’s a drain for expansion Chamber. While your at it don’t forget to replace crankshaft seals they dry up and will burn crankcase oil.

[@mrowltb2814]

Whenever I see his videos I always gotta make sure I’m comfy and I have a snack or else the video won’t be as good to me lol

The ziplock bags is EXACTLY what I do too. LOL.

[@novaguy383]

Cool bike man! Love the old two strokes! Your videos are fun, good attitude and sense of humor. Keep it up man!

[@donsinor1713]

I enjoyed the tear down! And look forward to seeing you bring this bike back to life. Good job young man.

[@dreamer8877]

I love the music you pick for your videos

[@codelicious6590]

I'm on my second time of watching this series; it's great inspiration for my own 1970 two stroke projects (yamaha ht1 90cc /dt1 250cc) I really hope you get a new bike to work on soon!

[@mexicanjesus4698]

This is a great channel i started watching these vids yesterday and started with part 1 of this bike Great work keep it up

[@Medjurazzdiguetto]

Dude, I love so much this channel that i am trying to find a cool bike to restore. thanks for the inspiration and keep up with the good work

[@jacksonquedenfeld7351]

Truly enjoy watching these, keep up the good work. Also the memes are great

[@GoldGuyRides]

Haha thanks Jackson!

[@tomhall7612]

Wow those bolts where really loose eh! Lots of vibration i guess. Great video . It's guna look great. Started to work on my honda cm250c 1982 first thing is see if it runs, only 16000 miles on it , oil looks good too. Having a bit of trouble finding a carburator though. Waiting for the next video . Thanks.

[@OliverKempel]

Love your videos and this series espacially! I am working on a moped myself and this series has helped me alot to figure out how to disassemble and fix it. the moped is a Suzuki dm50 Samurai, which was only published in denmark :)

[@koelima]

You got a hard work ahead . Good Luck!

[@melonheadgreg]

Coming along nicely, see you Tuesday mate 👍

[@jeffmoat6820]

Awesome tear down. Keep up the awesome videos!!

[@zaxxfb]

I love how he does the memes the edit and how he does each part of the motorbike step by step

[@zacholson3429]

awesome video. I have 71 185 that I need to rebuild soon. the motor was just redone but i havent done much more.

[@oddis188]

When you're buying new bearings check out all balls bearings. Really good bearings. Hopefully you're gonna get the frame and parts to a sandblasting and powdercoating company. It's much more easier and also the paint is much more tuffer than spray paint.

[@colinsharp1314]

Great vid mate I'm glad your doing this bike as I am doing one exactly the same so hope fully you can help me long can't wait for more cheers Colin

[@daniellevy8485]

Nice video! I've been wondering when you gonna replace those fork seals and fork oil, because it seems pretty bad and judging by the engine oil, you might find some rust inside of it.

[@GeorgeStanley-c6k]

Any idea of the general wrench/nut size ranges that you used? I assume all metric- like 12,14, 17, 19, then 22-24 on large fork bolt?

[@erniesimsek6637]

Greetings from Australia. I'm loving your videos. I have a 1979 TS185 which I too am restoring so am absolutely loving your channel so keep u the great work. I have a question if anyone can please assist? I would like to run 12v for all the lights. I understand the CDI is 6v so I'll leave that as it can run the bike independently of the battery and other electrics. My question is though, how would I go about the rest changing to 12v? What do I need to change/implement? How would I wire up a RR into this bike?

[@hondacrflover24]

You should put antisieze on the bolts when you put them back in

[@waynemartinez8620]

Glad that wasn't too hard for you kid. Was just wondering if you plan on leaving the engine the way it is or rebuilding it? Pretty sure the rest of the this project is gonna be a piece of cake for you.

[@GoldGuyRides]

I have another engine that is in a lot better shape that came extra with the bike and I'm going to use it. It is missing some parts so I don't know if it would be better to just pull the parts that I need off of the motor that came off the bike or to sell the complete motor and then buy the parts that I need for the clean motor online

[@wastedintelligence9040]

GoldGuy - If I were you I’d at least look inside each engine to make an observation. It’s all about the inside. These bikes were definitely built strong but I’d suggest inspecting the head and possibly replace the piston regardless of wear. If both engines ran and sat you have a piston that expanded when ran and shrank when cold. The rings get stuck, possibly moisture reached the needle bearing or rod, it’s a safety precaution I’d take with history.

[@GrainPaint]

Maybe you should buy a small sandblaster box or take some stuff to the sandblaster because you have got so many small rusty parts that can be used again but don’t look so nice.

[@jackdavid5682]

Love your vids man! Me and my dad are building a cx500 cafe racer..

[@bejayostrander9088]

Doing a sweet job man

[@kingking-qj5bp]

im looking at where is the battery container located, cant find it in the frame.

[@fox6092]

Good

[@rustyshackleford2627]

I wonder if an old RM suspension would work on it..?!

[@ACBmx]

Love this guy

[@Nrijder]

Sure following this build. I got kinda a same (rusted) project. A Honda VTR250 to be exact. I hope O see some tips and tricks watching these videos ;).

[@markcollins5026]

You take the bolt out of the exhaust, then rev the engine it' suppost to decarbon the exhaust !

[@steffentysnes5302]

Two strokes have a tendency to shake everything loose, that's one of the largest issues with two strokes.

[@armzngunz]

Took me about 4 hours to take apart my DT 125 MX for my restoration.

[@MobaDevYt]

Awesome blossom

[@spike_-pw9iz]

i was thinking, that bolt could be used to measure exhaust back pressure.

[@axelsnipergarage3139]

don't you dare scratch the decals ! !!!!!!!!! i'll watch you! ))) Cool video though bro! keep it up!!!!

[@GoldGuyRides]

Haha I know, I have been very very careful with them. Thanks man!

@@GoldGuyRides Oha, ich hätte jetzt nicht erwartet, das du mir auf deutsch antwortest. Respekt, und für dein deutsch musst du dich echt nicht entschuldigen.

Now in english without Google translate...😬 Wow, i'm surprised to see you talk to me in german... Respect, and for your german you never must to say i'm sorry. I built now a Cafe Racer from a Yamaha XV1000SE. I'm your follower before you'r starting to built the Honda Cafe Racer...

[@isbemorph]

just want to say that since the frame is free, its worth spraying loads of WD40 into its down tubes, shake it all around then blow it out with a compressed air, and even better drill 2-3mm holes at the very bottom where the water would sit. I bet its rotting from inside out, guaranteed!!

[@pondartinc4002]

That's fish oil. I would use motor oil unless you want all the neighborhood cats chasing you.

[@isbemorph]

@@pondartinc4002 , i'd use WD40 because its a water dispersant, and it would absorb any moisture from pitted rusty steel. I wouldn't use a motor oil or even a special wax spray coating which would only trap the water, not stopping the corrosion process.

[@Frisky_FZR]

Pretty sure the bolt in the muffler is to drain excess in burnt oil that gets caught in the muffler

[@jimmysadventures5541]

When I pulled my triple tree I had bearings everywhere!

[@pondartinc4002]

Throw em. Get the tapered steering bearings.

[@eddieg849]

Man you have balls to disassemble this whole bike man I would have been so fucking loss

[@coolmusic1579]

You need a little bit bigger shop, or reorganize the space your in. I'm going to have to follow your lead and build my bike, I have a 1982 RM 250.

[@roadrunner40]

You ever thought about getting air tools or at the least a battery powered impact? They will cut your time in half and reduce your effort tremendously. I never use hand tools unless my power tools will not fit.

[@papagameing1057]

What was the purpose of all that?

Yeah I don’t actually think the exhaust needs a muffler as there’s already packing inside it but whatever

It looks more like a 75, the exhaust of a 1977 is a lot different than mine.
