This true survivor gets the G2T treatment so we can eventually get this back on the trails where it belongs!

Thanks for all the content! Learning alot from you. Also just picked up a 98 xr400r. Ive been working on going through it. Dropped one tooth on the front sprocket. Gordan's mods next. 🤘

Ohhhh I'm excited for the trail video on this one!! There's a VERY clean 84 near me for $300. I'm curious how heavy and brutal it is on the trail haha.

I hope to have this going soon on the woods…ran into a problem with it not starting now. I’ll have that detailed on the next video on it. Stay tuned! I’m anxious to see how it is on the trails too.

My best guess is seeing how it wouldn't start with the exhaust valve clearance being a tiny bit too tight is when it gets hot the clearance gets tighter again. But i would also suggest having a spare spark plug and when it gets hot switch the plug onto spare plug and check for spark. Good looking condition bike for it's year and being a farm bike.
@Garage2TrailАй бұрын
Thank you, that’s kinda what I’m leaning towards. Good idea about checking the spark when hot!

Looking forward to seeing how this works out on your trails. As a kid I had an 83 DR100, very disappointing bike at the time.
@Garage2TrailАй бұрын
I really need to figure out the hard start when hot…last thing I want to do is take it into the woods and stall it then get stuck until it cools off lol. I remember a kid had a DR100 in our trails in the mid-late 90s. I can’t remember how it was but I’m anxious to see how this one does too!

I had a White with small square headlight model DR250 82/83 from memory... it was that slow and gutless I think they forgot to put the engine in it... I was holding up trucks from the lights.
@Garage2TrailАй бұрын
I keep hearing how gutless these are. I hope to get it running a bit more reliably to be able to see for myself back in my trails. Was yours street legal? This one is strictly off-road.

@@Garage2Trail Honestly I wouldn't bother. It was registered and I was on my learners... it was my 5th bike at the time (racing mx). I think the model after searching goog was DR250Z

It's a great find, pity about the knee dent in the tank. Engine sounded too quiet, makes me think the cam chain tension needs to be adjusted. Spark looked v weak even with new plug. I would check plug lead and earth connection on coil may be corroded also check engine on/off switch for corrosion. Just my 2c worth from many time zones away. The old bike still looks modern! Just needs a front brake and barkbusters, yellow ofc.
@Garage2TrailАй бұрын
Thanks Steve! The kid I got it from said the dent happened when he dropped it recently 🤦♂️…I’m thinking on gapping the exhaust valves a tad more to see if that solves the hard start when hot problem. It is a really nice looking bike!

Looks like it’s done very little work, I wouldn’t mind betting you can still see crosshatching in the bore still
@Garage2TrailАй бұрын
Yeah it was very lightly ridden. My guess just on fields and dirt roads.
@SuicidalRiotАй бұрын
Maybe they took off air box to adjust back shock n lost it?
@Garage2TrailАй бұрын
That’s a possibility…my guess is maybe something made a nest in the original and it was destroyed. The kid I bought it from never had it to begin with.
