Adam's Dirt Bike Hasn't Ran Right For 6 YEARS - Can We FIX IT??

The engine in this 1998 Kawasaki KX250 was completely rebuilt (top end and bottom end), but ran very poorly afterward. Adam wasn't positive what the problem was, so he invited us to have a look at it. In this video we attempt to repair it!

I too was skeptical of the change in format. but it worked out great. I tell ya, the pureness of the smile the Jake had was priceless. Money can't buy that. I thoroughly enjoyed this channel. I've learned so much from starting to watch it almost 7 years ago.

[@donbrashsux]

These 2 are perfect to run this new format they have the knowledge along with their infectious personality’s .. onto a winner here 💪

[@mph5896]

Great format. 30 minute time frame was spot on. No part 2's made it even better. Intro, problem, diagnose, fix, test, done.

[@bbernadel]

That's a dangerous way to remove a crank. That easily can throw the crank off balance. Should use a crank puller for a reason!

[@_topikk_]

I'm blown away by how well this new format is working right off the bat. This channel is going to the moon.

[@MehYam2112]

I was skeptical of the concept, turns out this is a fun idea. Showing up and just winging it is real, good job. 12:30 lol

[@jenniesgarage]

Thanks! It was a new experience, but lots of fun!

[@wobblysauce]

ohhh.

[@Derbixrace]

If you keep this series going it might blow up, so good man!

[@Bricktop1253]

I know this new format is more taxing on you and your "crew" but, it was great. Your typical style is just as good but this was a treat. Thanks for all the work you do. Your videos are such appreciated.

[@982Nighthawk1337]

I really like the idea of you going around and interacting with subscribers and taking a shot at fixing their bikes. It's very entertaining to watch.

[@BakersAcres425]

This one had me smiling the whole time. My favorite episode you have ever put out. So glad you could make it happen for this guy.

[@ScrapPileRepair]

You might be onto something with this series. I enjoyed that episode. Thanks!

[@bhoss7133]

Wow! From a diagnosis, to complete teardown with case splitting, repair, engine rebuild and all parts slapped back on AND a successful test run all in just a DAY is mind blowing to me! Awesome job! Looking forward to more of these please!! Love it!

[@jenniesgarage]

Yeah it was a busy day! Couldn't have done it without Adam and Jen. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@joshgreenwalt508]

Wow, you are genuinely a natural at both fixing anything and staying entertaining.

[@reniertaljaard8037]

😂 i was shouting the plug😂😂😂😂😂 watch all you videos man... enjoy

[@kurtyoung6769]

I have a friend who bought a 98 kx 250 new back in late 97. He brought it to my house straight from the dealership. At the time it was by far the most powerful 250 engine in the low to mid rpm range that I had even ridden.

[@jenniesgarage]

Yeah they are great motors, lots of grunt.

[@Ball1501]

Love the new format. And I really identify with the feeling of being new to mechanics and not knowing what you're doing. I'm still there, actually.

[@jenniesgarage]

Glad you liked it!! We are all new and inexperienced in something.

[@jared6400]

This format is awesome! Watching Adam's face light up when he was finally able to ride his machine was great. I think working on random machines in the wild really showcases Jake's experience and knowledge. I look forward to more of these episodes in the future.

[@michaelk2378]

Love the new format, Jake's acts of kindness, and that it's never going to be the same video twice. Jake's troubleshooting skills thoroughly impressed me! Mad new respect for the channel, this was so much fun! Love y'all!

[@JohnBailey-fk4zs]

Just great! I was smiling with these two guys when they succeeded with the repair. There’s nothing else like people helping each other.

[@oldguysoldbikes]

Being a Yamaha guy I was wondering why you were splitting the case to replace the left side oil seal. And then... You explained it. Great job!!!

[@insanetaco98]

Yamaha knows how to design an engine unlike kawi lol

[@rick79991]

This was just fantastic, great honist folk helping great honist folk! You fellas looked like old mates working together! A great memory for you all, and a great change of format on the channel, top job jake and camera girl👏👏 all the best from accross the pond👍

[@MoonmanSpacejam]

Man, I searched e channel because it's been a couple years since I've seen any videos. Great to see your still at it And made it through that ruff patch you were going through.

[@Jade-d]

Great format, and Jake your perception and problem solving were right on. Great camera work as well. It won't be long before we will be saying "I can remember when the subscribers were just 347K".

[@roughlygalaxy]

Amazing! Congrats on the colab!

[@kayomichael]

These mechanical adventure videos with the camera girl commentary is what originally got me subbed. I'm glad it's back.

[@jasonb1189]

The Travelling Mechanic is a great format. Keep going in this direction.

[@mrvolts9262]

honest to god i love when this channel uploads

[@isaacclark6749]

I think this is a great idea for episodes, really enjoyed this one!

[@ridersanonymous4756]

KZbin history!! I was skeptical on this new way of JG, but I was wrong awesome video. I was smiling ear to ear seeing the bike running and fixed you guys are so amazing.

[@Wingspan_5]

This is a great first video in this series! Adam fits right in.

[@jenniesgarage]

Thanks! Yeah Adam is awesome.

[@billbillinger2491]

Had three other video notifications from earlier this morning. Jennie's pops up and i go to it 1st!

[@ivanoxx]

I was smiling the whole video, really love these repair videos

[@jenniesgarage]

Glad you enjoyed it. I was smiling as I was editing it. Usually when that happens it means the video will be good.

[@j8m8l]

One of the best things I’ve watched on KZbin in years. The beginning of a new chapter for Jennies Garage!

[@alexanderknutz94]

I used to watch your videos a year or two ago and loved your channel, but one day I stopped watching and later couldn’t find the channel when I thought about you guys but couldn’t think of the channel name. Luckily this video popped up on my feed and I instantly subscribed so I can always find it. Love what you’re doing. Keep up the awesome work!

[@jenniesgarage]

Glad you found us again!

[@Neverhitboxes]

This was a joy to watch from start to finish, as your videos usually are! Seldom do I see a sub one hour fix-it video where there is zero filler and you GOT IT ALL DONE IN A DAY! Well done and I hope to see more from Jennies Garage.

[@Spirit1-]

ive just started watching your channel and watched your tri bike video and didnt even realize it was from 5 years ago, love this content man learn so much

[@bimmerwman]

[@donbrashsux]

Jake is a master and shares his amazing knowledge in such a clever casual and always funny way along with priceless Jen

[@nicardy]

Awesome, that intial quick start scene made my night !

[@thomasprinsloo1775]

WoW... this was absolutely epic guys. I know there's a lot more work that has gone into this than what you guys could show on video but I'm stoked at how you just tackled it head on. An engine split in one day. 🤯 (mind-blowing) You made things look so easy...

[@Anon.Emouse]

I thoroughly enjoyed this new format and would love to see more like this mixed in with your regular style of content. Well Done.

[@BSpenceTravels]

I love this channel so much. The vibe is immaculate.

[@QuangNguyen20]

It must feel so good for that bike to sit there for a long time and now it’s running. Good job

[@christianpowell9447]

Kudos!!! Good one guys!!! The smile on both your faces and the sound of that two stroke ripping was so worth the days work! Awesome job. More more more!!!

[@jenniesgarage]

Yeah great end to a great day

[@bertamusprime618]

Dude! This has to be one of your top ten videos of all time! I really enjoyed watching. Nice work Gentlemen and Lady!

[@jenniesgarage]

Thank you!!

[@happyshabbygames]

Awesome episode. Thank you Adam for having us 🤣. Best youtube channel!

[@jonnyknuckles489]

Definitely one of your best videos yet. All of your on-location projects probably won't be winners, but this format definitely is! Hope it catches on!

[@jenniesgarage]

Glad you liked it! And I agree it won't always come out like we expect/hope. But hopefully that will keep it interesting.

[@Scupper7]

One of my favorite episodes yet! Y'all are too kind!! This was super fun!!! :)

[@Moocow8]

[@tommylongdogmartin5307]

The smile and expression on your face when he took off was amazing you looked so happy I think you have made the right choice in your new venture good luck and keep the videos coming

[@vincentrayhista1224]

this change with format is really good! looking forward for more!

[@1439of2000]

Love it! When it was determined the crank seal I thought you wouldn’t touch it but it didn’t scare you away.

[@therodenthitman]

You have the personality and skills to be huge, keep this format and/or bike revivals in general coming!

[@TheMrShinagami]

That was brilliant, I was impressed how quickly you zeroed in on the issue.

[@saifulnizam87]

This was a nice episode... Was happy for you guys when the sound was running well and that sense of accomplishment... More of that from you guys... Time well spent...🎉

[@ChristopherSchmittgplus]

This video is amazing. The work that was done in one day is awesome. Very good explanations of what was wrong.

[@martinkupka3575]

Hadn´t thought the new video format would turn out so good. 👍

[@jpwipeout99]

I love this! Hope you guys keep doing this!!! Like watching history in the making.

[@jasonjulian1]

Wonderful video and format. I also appreciate the cuts of the assembly we didn’t need to see.

[@gr769er9]

Amazing how that one little seal can make that much of a difference. Good job man!!

[@anthonyscott16]

There are no words to fully convey how awesome this was! Great job and act of kindness. Now I'm off to pray that you wind up in Central Florida so I can introduce you to my DRZ400sm.

[@kentuckycornbread8502]

What a great video. Making good content and helping people, I think you guys are onto something good. 👍
