Welcome to the channel! Thanks for the comment!

[@christopherbahle4953]

Your videos are so thorough. I've been watching for 2 hours now without realizing it. The bike looks new. Outstanding work.

[@KincadePavich]

Glad you're enjoying :D

[@qtf897]

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

[@johnnyringo2690]

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.

[@NotAMartian-1]

I recently picked up a 08 yz450f that needs some love. When I’m done with it itl be a new bike.

[@Kx_287]

So true man I’m riding an 07 kx450f carbureted best bike besides the fact that there’s little to no after market support

After watching this youve talked me out of getting a 4 stroke . When i pick up my first bike after 15 years of not riding . Thanks for the video keep up the good work .

[@donotridetheturtleog3863]

For putting holes in plastic try starting with hot metal rod ,then move up in drill size.Nice work btw and you show a lot of the work

Appreciate it!

I have a love hate relationship for your channel. I do love the content because it’s great content, but I hate it because it’s great content. You’re teaching everyone how to do what you and I and many other have been doing to fund hobbies and now people are going to start doing this more and more destroying the used market.

Well done dude. I learned how to rebuild my dirtbike w your and other videos in about 2 months. I have friends who have been riding for 10-15 yrs and can’t do more than change the oil 😂😂🤣

[@KincadePavich]

That's awesome! Yep, it's all a fun process to learn! Nice job!

[@Nine_883]

Nice job on the video and the bike. A lot of my career is fixing other people’s mistakes. I feel without guys who like to do things themselves I would not have a career. As frustrating as it is to fix other people’s mistakes it really is my bread and butter.

[@mattandres8455]

This is the second video I've watched of yours, start to finish. Man, good job. Not only your mechanical ability but your video skills too 🤙 i think you're my new favorite channel

[@KincadePavich]

That means a lot! Thanks a ton for taking the time to let me know. Welcome to the channel 🤙🏻 funny enough, I just bought this bike back from the buyer. Will be making content on it again later this summer!

[@Wagnerbuilds]

Quick tip: instead of buying a jd jetting kit i recommend using a jetting calculator. They are free online and gave perfect jetting.

[@brettnorsworthy7834]

Jetting yes. However the jd jet kit main point is the custom taper needles. Even with stock jetting his custom needles really clean up throttle response. Also the leak jet and o ring around the linkage to solve the timing issue due to spring tension with the accelerator pump

[@mikebruce3198]

Nice work to taking the time to clean it back up.

[@musamnguni510]

I love the characteristic whistle the carb bikes made 🥹

Just wondering if you took a Bike mechanic course if you are completely self learnt because you are quite good at taking apart a bike and fixing it up

[@paulbudford]

Nice work on finding the problem. 👍

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Just 3 things. If it has spark at the right time, enough compression and a good fuel to air ratio---it will run.

[@UTP_ENT]

Its wild i have a new rmz and once you take the plastics off they look almost identical 😂 besides the efi and whatnot

[@CKing724]

Point your toes out when you kick! Ripping your shoes on the foot peg, pointing toes out you can avoid the foot peg all together and save your boots and shoes

[@ymhcox]

impressive work!! Just one question, where did he finds those bikes? I want to buy 2 or 3, thanks.

[@Sneaky53]

what kind of cleaning supply's are you using. I am trying to get into flipping and need something to clean up my bike before i sell.

[@Oldguy-k3t]

Ufortunatly in Calif you can only sell 4 licensed vehicles a year w/o a dealer license.

[@randyf82]

Prior to polishing the frame did you use a scotch Brite pad?

[@edjacobson8480]

Where did you learn how to do these adjustments and repairs. Very impressive.

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?

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. :)

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!

@@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.

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!

[@Dannitrade]

Where do bikes sells that cheap?

[@KincadePavich]

Everywhere.. Just gotta look every day, all the time haha. Good deals last hours usually.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

$1300, OK How many hours do you have into it? Since the engine is stock, why such big jetting changes? Are 4-strokes shipped rich like 2-strokes?
