[@mousealexander6412]

M&R Tuning he has videos riding a Honda

[@Kusuo_A]

Dalton I’m proud your upload schedule improved

[@iamdead3y3s47]

Great vid man, i like seeing the old machines live again! Happy hunting on your next project!

[@TheStp77]

Sooo many memories watching you ride that dead trap😂😂 love it

[@bigjay6743]

I'd say watching those handlebars Bounce Around LOL.

[@camden199]

Hell yeah dude loving the uploads. Been watching you since your video on the battery error reset trick.

[@darylparker9393]

Great video as usual. Enjoying watching your vids. Keep it up Dalton and keep taking care of yourself first.

[@jpoorr9973]

My first and only 3 wheeler. I had the yellow and my brother had the blue. God I loved to ride that thing. Those were definitely the good old days.

[@LCOOTS]

it was really nice watching you fight the tri wheeler up the hill, it brought back some memories thanks 3-d

[@px_wonder423]

I just wanted to say I’ve Been watching your videos for years and u come a long way I good job

[@doobyboy21]

Damn ! You guys got lot's of snow ! I'm in upper Canada and we only have ice ! That trike is amazing ! Awesome purchase !

[@noahlangrehr597]

So happy you're back bro

[@rvhuizen]

Now you got it !! Keep goin bro! Nice uploads Go "man" You can do it

[@big3oss299]

Hope to see more videos on the 3-Wheeler. I remember when I was a kid my Dad had one and I loved it man.. I been thinking about getting one.

[@lukecombs5659]

BigAlTheRedNeck better grab one soon cause people think they are made of gold and drove the price up 3 times what they are worth it’s crazy what people are asking for them even In Kentucky that Yamaha 225dx is worth maybe 500 here and people are asking 800-2000 even none running machines it’s stupid man

[@patinabunker5340]

Get one now! There only going up in value. I have three and love them all

[@kerr70]

That's all my channel is about, still racing my 250r

[@VeronicaV70]

I miss my blue '85 Yamaha 225DX-3 - I only drove in Arizona desert weather. So nice to see this video. Thx.

[@backwheelbandits2.0]

This is what iv being waiting for niceone👌👊

[@randybryant9936]

Im impressed that thing rips for what it is

[@tommyc9659]

Im 52 had same trike bout 7yrs ago with hand medown tires would climb all day and was a great mudbogger thanks 4 the ride

[@TheWhiskey69]

I loved my Yamaha 3wheeler. Thing was a blast

[@bigjay6743]

Man does that wheeler ever bring back memories. Like the time I had my leg wrapped around the back axle. All kidding aside I did have a lot of fun with my big red plus I still walk with a limp and everytime it rains the memories come flooding back...

[@tylerschmitt4442]

Love the video,keep up the good work

[@OlmanEg]

This used to be my absolute favorite atc of all time. I used to pull the whole triple clamp off a scrap 250r or something lile that. It added the a little groumd clearance, and gave way way better suspension. And wheels where effortlessly!

[@VeronicaV70]

It was awesome, wasn't it? I miss mine dearly. Would go home, do homework and head out into the desert by myself until supper time. Good memories.

[@kevinbreese5739]

Good memories. I used to have that same 225DX over 30 years ago and had a ton of fun on it, before upgrading to an ATC 250R. On a side note the exhaust on that BMW is laughably ridiculous.

[@justinmcelroy9669]

Love the videos man keep it up

[@1986Honda4trax]

Hey dalton! It might be easier for you to back the truck up your driveway and load it that way, also a lot safer because you dont have to go out im the road

[@charleshorse181]

Id check your timing chain those tend to get stretched over time and make the noise it's making.

[@jacklindsey6295]

First to watch this beast shredding. Love you videos, keep them coming!!

[@Whbrown417]

I’ve got an exacte same year of three wheeler just different color & a bit more beat up but I still love it

[@kylebass4635]

Got nervous when you were loading and unloading it. I was unloading a old (so it was very heavy) International Cub Cadet lawn mower and the boards slipped off the truck. Threw me to the ground on my back and knocked all the breath out of me. All I see is this thing backing up still running with the front wheels straight up and thinking it's going to fall backwards on me and the steering wheel is going to crush my chest. Thank God it cut off and fell forward breaking the front axle.

[@960mxracer]

stay live bro! keep that trike rippin lol

[@humbledjames8076]

Badass video man

[@roberto7639]

i like the vids man . keep it up

[@edgarowens565]

Another easy way to load is wheelie to 12 o'clock position. Push to the bed of your truck. Let front tire rest on tailgate and grab rear bar lift and push. It's a little safer. Gr8 content buddy. Keep it up.

[@nickrich1472]

Dont worry, ive taken the same 3 wheeler through 2-3 feet of snow. Go in 2nd to 3rd gear, when you start slowing down pull on the handle bars and do a wheele to pick up speed, works on the 250 yamaha and the big red 3 wheelers.

[@chadbrown1474]

That should have an adjustable timing chain tensioner. My 84 yamaha 200 quad was very similar and it had one

[@ATCREVOLUTION]

Awesome!! I have an 86 225 DR all original and low hours, its a great machine!

[@cupit68]

three wheeling is like NASCAR racing, tire pressure vs terrain matters. enjoying your videos.

[@donnie8508]

I grew up with a 3wheeler. I miss it! Think I need to hunt for one :)

[@Essence-Realzy]

Dude you live in my neighborhood I’m not even lying I live 2 min from that plaza, I could name the town and street yo THIS IS CRAZY WTF !!! I’ve been watching you for so long to

[@traviscavette4031]

I had a 225 dx 1985. Great little 3wheeler.

[@robertnocerajr3985]

Absolutely correct.. the suspension is junk but it's a really good bike.. I owned 3 of this model Yamaha.. myself.. .. Robert Jr NJ here XR 650 owner myself currently

[@robertnocerajr3985]

This was frustrating to watch for myself.. I have owned 3 of this model Yamaha.. my only complaint was the suspension is junk... With a Cobra pipe and wooly bogger tires.. the bike ran strong.. most people don't know how to ride 3 wheelers... Even know how to get one on a truck easily without ramps... But thanks for sharing this post... best wishes with the bike.. I got to big to ride the bike here.. currently I ride XR 650.. but thanks again for sharing.. Robert Jr NJ here

[@marshallreynolds9604]

Dalton how are u getting on with the wee tipping truck have u done anymore work to it I've been following u for years buddy and your videos are the best keep up the good work cause your doing a really good job

[@hemispherion4298]

Looks Nice!

[@daveguffey9024]

Did you put the upper motor mount in? I grew up riding 3-wheelers...they arent death traps.

[@ewand9433]

Keeep up the vids loveing them

[@anythingwithwheels1981]

Awesome video as always dude! I just picked up a 85 yamaha tri moto 200e

[@Archermboi]

Yes they have automatic timing chain tensioner but they still have to be adjusted occasionally my ytm 200 has the same ticking and I believe it’s piston slap because I’ve adjusted the valves and I’ve set the timing chain tension

[@MRTuning704]

I took the four wheeler home from the farm in the snow one time and couldn’t even get up the hill in the parking lot This thing is just eating it all up

[@MRTuning704]

Spoke to soon

[@kylewallace2650]

Love the trike ..i grew up riding them ..they are death traps but a hell of alot of fun

[@cupit68]

loading/unloading, throw the from wheel on the tailgate, grab it from the back and shove it in there, ramps a waste of time.

[@spencerreed6504]

Dude your gonna blow the thing up

[@EvilClowns69]

Give it a couple of months before he sells it

[@MrSlowestD16]

Probably, not a whole lot you can do with it when you're not a kid anymore...but good for rekindling old memories for sure..

[@EvilClowns69]

MrSlowestD16 he already sold it he gets them for cheap on Craigslist and flips them for a profit

[@judsonnietopski7220]

Dalton I’m from springville ny u should come ride sometime I also have a 1985 three wheeler but Honda

[@ryanmasak6586]

Love the video

[@mitchlosier]

Im a big fan of the 3 wheeler videos

[@karsonhenriksen8238]

U are the best i love uour videos

[@patinabunker5340]

Keep the old girl. I have three and Ride them all! And my kid's love them too 😍. Just gotta be a bit more careful with them.

[@Jay_Jay247]

They yamaha tho lmao. Get a 87 250r or 86 sx250 both amazing a

[@niclawson8595]

Do you still have the race mower and if so work on that thing

[@oxenfreedan]

I believe this is the same motor that the 225 4 wheelers from that same time frame had and it definitely sounds like you have a loose cam chain to me based on the Quads with that motor that I worked on.

[@justinlundberg9916]

How do you tighten the chain I had the same problem on my 3-wheeler

[@theflyingfetus9405]

You could definitely have a loose cam chain do a little research to see if there is a way to adjust it. It could save your valves. lol

[@TFD1982]

Now I want one!

[@jfdashley9028]

That was sketchy! just wish your camera was tilted a little more up.

[@williamlewis5688]

I had a friend of mine that had a brand new 225 DX in 1985 it was bad ass I had a1985 Kawasaki KLT 250 three wheeler we raced all the time a lot of fun

[@cowtruck1321]

Love my 225 do but I got the blue version and mine has a clutch handle

[@Gantzz321]

my knee's are cold just watching this. still don't miss my 3 wheeler at all, the struggle driving them was cool when I was a teenager, but now that I am a old man, F that shit

[@SASQUATCH205]

That nut & set screw on side case a few videos back was the clutch adjustment. Did you properly set it? Cool rebiuld

[@hondaowner2995]

love these old bikes, i have 2 of quad versions moto 4’s, there 200cc but one has a 225 cylinder bored .50

[@matthebutcher1]

Dalton great content! I appreciate this type and reg content. As a Big Red snob I have to say it takes special kind of idiot to run over your own foot with a 3 wheeler. I was born in the early 80's and have had my fair share of time on 3 wheelers. AND IM THAT Special kind of idiot who not only runs his foot over once with a 3 wheeler but ive run it over 6 times or better lol. I was just trying to get that perfect donut ya know? HAHAHAHAHAHA

[@Hank_Amarillo]

is your house right across the street from like a shopping center?

[@FeArhsma21]

I have an 81 ATC 250R, Love it, absolute blast to ride and anything you ride at a high rate of speed is dangerous. I been riding it for over 10 years and the only thing I have ever rolled was my Dads Kawasaki Bruteforce 750 V-twin four wheeler / quad. So, are they more dangerous opinions very. They where out law because parents where not teaching their kids how to properly ride them. I want to add something so that people know, they are not out law to ride just for dealers to sell. My Dad bought this one in 86 from a guy that raced them I mean ATC's witch stands for (All Terrain Cycles). I have done my research on them. They are dangerous for inexperienced rider's that don't know how to lean and use their weight to kick out the back tires around corners. So what happens, is someone riding one leans the wrong way the bike start to turn over and they make a big mistake they take their foot off the peg and the back tire runs up the back of their leg and drags them right off the bike. Wear a helmet, learn to lean correctly, and don't ever take your feet off the pegs, and let the blast begin. I love the video's man I watched and liked all of them, and you did a great Job fixing up that bike and I want to say thank you for keeping three wheelers alive. Sorry about the rant, I just really like the three wheeler world. They are really amazing machines once you get comfortable enough to really ride them to their full potential! God Bless you and Have a Very Merry Christmas!

[@robertnocerajr3985]

People are dangerous and it was a terrible shame when they stopped the production,, because of irresponsible owners.. many people were letting young children ride bikes way too big.. and ATC,s are really not designed for jumping.. I believe.. I have owned 5 of them myself and never had a bad accident.. .. yeah that 250r Honda was the king of ATC s.. for the most part.. great machine... Feeling like a jet ski on land, was my first impression.. awesome bikes.. but thanks for sharing your experience here... Robert Jr NJ here XR 650 owner myself currently..

[@masonevanspro4656]

next video series: "Reviving the BMW" 👌

[@countryboyforlife2921]

Mason Evans Pro then selling it and fixing the dam jeep

[@redneckadventures8272]

I hope he keeps it

[@adamkruskama8455]

Too much air in the rears? Always hard to tell steepness on a video. We use to run 110s and they did west coast snow pretty well.

[@Northernstar9370]

Get a set of the old Stryker treads in 25-12 and put them on with the V bars pointing to the rear and air them down a little. Then put a more aggressive tread on the front like a Blackwater or a Viper tread and she'll do pretty good in the snow. Thanks for the ride! I put many many miles on my Honda 185S and 250 Big Red back in the day!

[@tylersmith8849]

You should put a ski on the front and cut up a track and put it around the tire

[@off-roadadventures1236]

My friends cousin did that, fun as hell.

[@tjn1017]

In finland we have usualy like 50inches of snow or more. But now here have been raining.

[@shadyhill1476]

Gotta get the timber sled 3 wheeler conversion kit!

[@phoenixarizona8441]

This reminds me of when I had my three wheeler and everyone else rode Snowmobile's as long as they broke trail I didn't have a problem

[@AaronMartinCOOLVIDEO]

Everything involving a 3Wheeler is basically a death trap lol.

[@nathanhearld474]

What happened to that new garage he built

[@danielswan1671]

Got a yamaha 225dx 1 month ago, bought for 1500$ and it runs good just need a regulator and lights should work fine and starter.

[@milleniumraz]

Where are you located? I’ve still got my original 1985 225 DX and thinking of selling it. Surprised yours sold for $1500. I’m in Ohio. Have fun!

[@chevynut427]

I had a smile on my face the whole time you were ripping that three wheeler in the snow... brought back memories over 30 years ago, the good old days having fun...

[@patinabunker5340]

Never too late to grab a piece of history. I have three and Ride them all 😁.

[@kerr70]

That's all my channel is about, still racing mine

[@rileypyles]

What hp is that or cc and ifs it the kind I won’t will you self it causes I might bye

[@jaymatthews03]

Hell yeah

[@marcslayer9444]

Kenda bear claw , would have rocked another 6 inches of snow . Your on slicks

[@darrellroeters4951]

Does it go 40mph?

[@OneSixtySwiftly]

Glad to see your making videos again but you should of bought a Honda!

[@charlestonhartley7806]

OneSixtySwiftly a lot of the Honda’s don’t have suspension so the beet the hell out of you but Yamahas do

[@dizzywright4379]

Camera shot at the bars and tire nice

[@damiansouthard1114]

I think this is my old trike, I lived in south Dayton ny when I sold it

[@Jay_Jay247]

Alot of people have this model .

[@tomtribur458]

I had a blue ‘85 225 dx, the next year they gave it reverse. Lived in Tahoe and was in the snow all the time. We used it or pull snow sleds. Those woolly Booger tires are horrible for snow traction, my buddy had them on his Honda 200x and got stuck in the snow all the time

[@nickchristensen8078]

Did you sell your skidoo 800?

[@SteviePeeOutDoorLife]

love this, Where you at?

[@silentshredr]

The tires on the rear are the worst you can/could buy for the snow, need a simple dimpled knobby.

[@MRTuning704]

For 85 that thing is mint I would buy it in a second

[@kcrc144]

Cool Yamaha toy.

[@bryduhbikeguy]

You cranked that screw as far as you could to H,on the right side.Start the engine and back it off until the ticking stops,and use the Jamb Nut to tighten.Ask Jake.Merry Christmas to All,and to all Happy Trails.

[@Yamamaalil]

Atc spinn off?
