This old Suzuki trail bike was parked up years ago because it wasn't running probably, sitting out in the weather for years it got water in the engine and the rings became stuck to the cylinder.

You ran into about 6 problems that would have stumped me into throwing parts at a problem or saying "ill get back to it." But you just solved them all smoothly with parts on-hand. Really cool to watch. I'd have replaced that carb, wanted to take apart the cylinder, never found the decompression lever etc. Nice work man, I feel like we need to put you in charge of some important stuff, lol.

The DR200 is one of the best bikes ever made. My wife bought a brand new 2006 SE model. We shipped it still in tue crate to St. Thomas where she rode it daily for 46,000 miles. I rebuilt everything at least once except the motor. I did put a new clutch in after about 30,000 but it didn't need it. With a pipe on it and the right gearing for the area it was a lot of fun. And crazy reliable. I did get to take it off road a little and burn up some corners on a Sunday morning. Miss that bike.

Hi Marty, Good score. You may already know, carburettors have different heads on the Philips screws and require a special driver, called a JIS. There are not a lot of people know about this, hence the reason the screw heads get flogged out. Thanks for great videos.

my understanding is that philips heads are literally designed to strip, so that people on assembly lines can't over torque. JIS (japanese industrial standard) look similar, but, as we all know from japanese craftsmanship, they are not.

This is a very nice (despite rusted) complete example of an older DR200. Parts for the DR200 are readily available and cheap (on the used market) within NZ, and parts from even the newest models are extremely likely to fit on your older one as very little change has been made to these bikes over the years. It's good to see you getting it to run! I have a GN125 myself (same engine with a smaller bore and stroke + other minor differences.) so I'm a big fan of these bikes.

Engines are a little different. Only one side of the crank is interchangeable. New farm ones have kick and electric and no decomp lever. But you can swap the whole engine in. Swing arm and forks are the same. Triple tree and headset bearings are differnt. Old bikes have a better pumper carb than the new ones with CV. I have 3 of these old ones and 2 new ones

Oh man, blast from the past for sure! We had a DR200 and XR200 back in the day. The DR looked a bit more weird with how the number place in the front had the light above the plate, but the front disc brake was so much nicer to have then the XR200 drums. I think you have a nice little spare bike to rip, always good to have that! Nice going getting that thing to work and hopefully some other folks will watch this video and tackle a cheap / free bike! About 10 years ago a farmer gave me an XT250 Yamaha, it was outside under a tarp and I had to do the exact same things as you, it was so awesome to hear that thing come to life! Have fun Marty and thanks for the cool drone shots!

Nice work Sir! 👍👍 I'm sure others have mentioned this but when you use pliers, especially vise-grips, when you pull against the moveable jaw you are springing the pliers open and causing them to slip instead of bite. The same with adjustable wrenches. They are made to go one direction. Think of them like a pipe wrench... Bites one way and slips the other.

For stripped Phillips bolts hammer the top down with a punch then hammer the Phillips driver into old pattern. Seems to work for most. Nice way to make half buggered flat screws look new again. Mikuni float pins actually have an indent lock on pin and require you to punch them out. Support the opposite pillar before doing so as you can break them. Get spray carb and choke cleaner for cleaning carbs. Good stuff stinks of acetone and removes paint. Doesn’t evaporate as fast as acetone. Sealed bearings front and back sitting tend to leak oil and leave hard grease. You can pop off seal covers on bearings wash them and grease or replace bearings. I’d mix some two cycle oil and gas for a tank of run time to help lubricate those rings OR you can rev up for a bit and go low throttle to really work the rings loose. First or second gear.

Well done Mr Marty. Great video.. In the UK people would want over £1000 in that condition. 👍👍👍

Is that mostly due to the licensing process you think? We've a similar thing in Australia with the 250 and 650 singles. Never go below $4.5k (sadly with how much I want a Yamaha SR250 & rarity here)

@@5thgearouttahere not really, if the bike is registered on the DVLA (Driver Vehicle Licensing Agency) database and you were wanting to use it on the road here in the Uk and as long as there were no major issues you could MOT it, tax and insure it for less than £200. It’s just the purchase price like Happy Chappy says that people are prepared to pay here.

Reason for the high cost is people are greedy in the UK. So greedy.

Great to get it back up and running, I'd recommend checking the brake/clutch fluids, I've found an old bike with almost jello for brake fluid, smooth clutch and more reliable brakes then 😀

Best way I have found to remove the 4 bolts on the bottom of the carb. Is, drum roll. a dewalt or millwakie impact gun.

Hello Marty. I just love it when folks get abandoned or forgotten machinery to run again. "Bolt Out" or "Nut Out" could be a nice tool to add to your toolbox if you can find them. Have good days! Sears had them.

There is supposed to be a breather tube from the fuel cap to somewhere in the handle bars to stop water getting in the gas.

Although the heads of the screws look like Philips they could well be JIS, a lot of Japanese motorcycle manufactures used to use them. Philip headed screwdrivers tend to "cam out" of JIS screws.

Thoroughly enjoyed the video Marty!! The rough condition she was in, and still managed to run after having seized rings etc, is a testimony to the earlier model Suzuki's, and how bullet proof these bikes are. I have an 86 DR-200 motor into a 2010 Suzuki DR-200 rolling chassis. I actually had a set of Honda XL-250R 87 front air shocks that fitted straight on the Dr-200 triple clamps. I also fitted an after market exhaust, and re-jetted the carb 2 sizes bigger. These bikes have the much sought after TM-28mm side slide carb, which are way better than the BST-31 diaphragm carbs on the later DR's. Mine goes like a cut cat now, feels like a whole different bike, heaps of torque and great acceleration as well. You will find a noticeable increase in power if you open up your airbox and remove the baffle front the exhaust pipe, as these bikes come pretty corked up from the factory. Also your bike is a 12v system. Enjoy!!

@@dafydd359 That was normal back in the day when there was no Internet and no place to buy a JIS crosshead screwdriver to fit the screws. Nobody gave it a second thought that the joke of screwdrivers in the toolset under the saddle fitted the screws perfectly. Both the master cylinder cover and the float bowl.
