I Fixed This $800 Dirt Bike and Made $1300!

This 2006 Suzuki RMZ450 was an $800 Craigslist find. The bike was listed as "not running" at $1000, and the seller accepted my $800 offer. I picked it up in Manhattan, Montana. After a valve adjustment, carb work, and a general tune up, I had the bike running solid and ready to sell. Leave a comment below on your thoughts on this style of video! I buy and sell a lot of bikes that aren't full builds, and thought I'd share the process!

these early 2000's bikes were SO GOOD I wish more of them would would get this kind of treatment

I bought a 2007 crf450r brand new from the floor. Still has the really front tire and only has about 12 tanks of gas in it. I might sell it.

hey i need some help so i put my broken e scooter on facebook market place on trades for a broken dirtbike so its fair and someone offered me a dirtbike, most plastics are gone its 125cc some wires are disconnected and it needs a damaged spark plug according to him he said he also has the plastics and that's everything broken, I have no experience with dirtbikes but I do with electronic wiring, I'm 15 I work on e scooters and e bikes, I have one of both and it may not seem like it but I'm capable of fixing them do you think I should buy it and take the risk?

Love all Suzuki dirtbikes..RMs & RMZs! Ride yellow. You stole that sweet bike & def did all the important things to make it highly dependable for buyer. Encourage buyer to install $28 Acerbis hour meter for crucial maintenance! #Maxima

[@MrMecano]

Clearly someone went in there, the chain tensionner, bad timing and the shim being on the very loose side, usualy valves will go too tight from being run and not loose. Great vids!

Idk why but I want an RMZ so badly, preferably a 250. I currently own a KX250f that is great, but I love these RMZs and I like an underdog bike.

Yeah people forget how good Suzukis are just because they're a little behind the times now!

I just picked up a RMZ250 and am wanting to get a newer front end for it. I noticed Acerbis, Polisport, and UFO have different shades of yellow. what brand did you use?

@@KincadePavich I hate the batman type of plastic today, so I picked up a Yamaha OEM 2014 front fender for my 2019 YZ250 2-stroke, (yes, I had to mill in new mounting holes). Oh wait, I picked up 2 of them. Both OEM fenders were twisted very badly, and Yamaha stiffed the dealership because they were not in the original packaging, (to sell to who?). I have a manufacturing and quality engineering degree, and I never thought I would see aftermarket with better quality than a Jap bike OEM part. Outsourced to a 3rd world nation or not, Yamaha had their name on them.

I think I would trust the Japanese engineering before anybody else. They made the bike, and they are no dummies.

It is probably just different than what that dummy has seen before. :)

There’s someone selling a 2006 rmz450 but it’s locked up. He said 1200 obo. You think it’s worth it ?

[@KincadePavich]

Locked up can be very expensive. If it needs a head or valves that can add up quickly. If you want to fix it and ride it you should be able come out pretty well, but if you're trying to make money it's a gamble. In today's market a good running 2006 RMZ450 is worth about $3000 give or take depending where you live. Good luck!

Little by little one project a time! Pretty much bought a bike that needed a little work, fixed it, and kept going until I had done a full rebuild. At that point I knew I could learn anything! Essentially, just go for it. Buy service manuals, watch KZbin videos, and go for it. Good luck!
