THIS point exactly! Awhile ago, I purchased a 2001 Husqvarna CR125 that ended up needing EVERYTHING. It ran, but was lower on power than it should have been - long story short, power valve actuator had failed, took out some gear teeth, crank bearings were also burned up. I remember telling my wife - "The smart thing to do, if I wasn't an honest person, would be to put it back together as a 'running but needs a bit of tune up and TLC (as it would still start on the first or 2nd kick)' in the same condition as I purchased it in". Instead, after roughly $1000 or more in parts and a total rebuild I pretty much sold it and evened out in total cost invested and ALOT of lost time. My logic, aside from just being a decent human being, was that I couldn't stomache the thought of a 16 year old kid buying that bike with a load of issues using money he had saved up, and potentially ruining a wonderful hobby for him that could last him a lifetime.

Dude you crack me up. I love your expertise on purchasing used dirt bikes. After watching part one of this nightmare on yamaha street, we now have part two. After you took the carb apart and found half of the ocean in the float bowl that should given you some indication that you got hosed. After you took the cover off of the brake master and found the other half of the ocean, we can confirm. I can't believe you didn't take the rest of the bike apart. FYI, to bleed the brakes on a vehicle, you put a hose on the bleeder screw and place the tube in a cup filled with an inch or so of fluid. With the screw open you pump the master to purge the air out of the line making sure the master stays full of fluid. When all the bubbles gone close screw. Can't believe you didn't take the engine apart, especially the clutch. Had to laugh when you put the chain on and the adjuster bolts were too long. When you had them out why didn't you cut like 3/4" off them and put back in ? Anyway , you make great content for the masses, keep on wrenching....

Like if the post says " Hey my name is blabla and I am selling ..." or if he agreed to be video taped on his property or said his name in a public area... otherwise he can get you for sued doxing, emotional distress, emotional damage (if internet people can't control themselves and harrass the guy), and defamation (while hard to prove, it still a pain to have to prove otherwise or intention). I mean this is why it's easier to do this to an establishment or dealer(since their information is displayed in public when selling vehicles/bikes and they have licenses and laws to abide to (lemon laws, etc)). A private seller is different and protected by " Sold as is..." Hope this helps clear things up.

Next time you have a bearing race that bad, lay a weld bead around the ID. The cooling weld will shrink that race and if it doesnt fall out, you'll be able to use the weld as a surface to hit with a punch. The welding trick works 98% of the time for me!

Here is a tip for the grips. I drop a single nickel into the bottom of the grip so it lays flat. I do this to help prolong the life of the grip. Even as a kid I used to do this on my BMX bikes because I had so many grips get chewed up from the ends of the handle bars and poke through. The nickels help keep this from happening. Another grip tip if you have set of grips that in good condition but don't want to cut them off. I use compressed air and blow gun to float the grips off the bars. Works awesome.

@@curmudgeon1933 Indeed. I watched 2Vin in the past and was put off by something bumbling he did on one of his previous builds. So I went and found someone else to watch who did it more professionally. It wasn't until recent months that I decided to give 2Vin's videos another chance. While he does do some goofy things here and there I have been enjoying them more. He's pretty much doing it the way the average home-mechanic would do it with limited resources. I bought a 76 Yamaha IT400 last October from an older guy. Being it's an almost 50 year old bike it has its' problems and is missing stuff which is typical. I knew what I was getting myself into when I bought it so I can't blame the seller for anything. I spoke with the seller for a couple of hours. I was originally going to try to talk him down in price but when he showed me the extra rolling chassis and random other bits he had that were included I was willing to pay his original asking price. But by the time I got done talking to him and money started to change hands he lowered the price on his own because of how far I drove to get the bike. I was also the only person out of several other people who actually offered him a cash payment for it. Everyone else who messaged him were trying to trade him some random garbage for it. So he gave me a better deal on it. After tinkering with it before leaving and seeing that it tried to pop off a couple of times it was a sealed deal for me. Even if the bike was junk the big bore 2-stroke engine was worth a good bit of money to the right person. Especially in running condition. But I got it as a fixer-upper for myself. :)

So i recently picked up a sand blaster from Harbor Freight that was fair priced and it worked quite well for my projects, you might want to look into getting one yourself. They work quite well for cleaning up bolts so when you spray them after with the good ole PB Blaster it actually penetrates the bolt and not just the rust... Maybe you already have one i cant remember but its just a thought seeing how you work on so many classic machines you can clean up just about anything with them. Also i picked up an ultrasonic cleaner for carbs and other small parts so i can give them a soak overnight before tearing them apart and that has also impressed me quite a bit.

One on the few KZbin channels I subscribe to and I’m not into social media. Been in the hospital and had surgery so I’m catching up. It amazes me the lack of proper care, maintenance, and storage of bike people don’t do. Keep flushing her out. Change the crankcase fluid, ride it, and repeat. She’ll be fine. I stuck 250 2-stroke in an off- road water crossing and the case took in water from the vent tube. This method worked. The crank gave a couple of years later and I did a full rebuild at that point. But I believe the method saved it and prolonged the need for the rebuild. I have medical issues, old injuries that have come back to haunt me, and I just can’t ride dirt bikes anymore. …I love ya, Joe, but you ride, not drive, a bike. With as much stuff as you work on, I also tired of watching you pull pipe springs with vice gips. I have a pipe spring puller tool that now never gets used. Send my your mailing address and I’ll send it to you, free of charge..

​@2vintage mate well done on getting this turd even running, and well done on the hammer. Oh and my bearing trick i use is keep a small selection of old inner and outer races that have one side of the ring/circle cut so it can flex open or close. Its a nice fit on a shaft or stem that uses the same bearing without binding as its no longer interference fit. I use them as dollys for removing and installing other bearings and or seals when necessary

I know the guy that sold you that turd was a liar, Joe but let me propose a different scenario: The original seller (the guy who emailed you), sold the bike to the next guy for quite a bit more than the what the next guy's asking price. The original guy probably lied to the next guy which led that guy to just want to unload it...to YOU! Surprisingly, the original seller decided to come clean about the bike to you. As far as the guy that sold it to you? On one hand you could pity him for getting burned by the guy that sold it to him, yet condemn him for 'sharing the love', so to speak! 🤣Bottom line? You're very adept at polishing turds, Joe. So, you'll probably break even selling this bike, as you have on so many others, but the next guy will get something that runs well! 😎👍

All very good ideas in the sub $1000 range in my experience.

Hey 2vintage. A good way to get those stuck bearing races is to weld a small bead around the whole inner race. Wen it cools it shrinks and it'll almost fall out. Sometimes I've only had to do 4 spot beads on them and they come out easy.

Joe I think you're on to a winner with the dremmel/wheel bearing. I'd suggest going into the outer race at around 30/40 degrees off of vertical, with the bike wheel how you had it anyhow. Also when oiling a foam filter you need only use a little oil but crush the filter down into a ball in your hand. When you relax the filter it will be evenly covered in oil. If you're gonna work on Japanese bikes it's probably wise to buy a set of metric taps and dies for cleaning up damaged threads. Keep up the good videos Joe, we watch 'em every day :o).
