Vinny is amazing! Once again he diagnosed the issue on first sight. If you recall, the first thing he did after seeing the bike was to take a couple of dumps. He was indicating that the exhaust system, and specifically the valves on the exhaust side, were okay. But he did NOT eat or drink anything, indicating that the intake valves were closed or too tight. He blows my mind how accurate he is with his diagnoses! Was he born in a shop, descending from a long line of mechanics’ dogs? 🔧🐶

Top comment 👌

[@Donaldperson7]

Simple process if your a mechanic like him or me.

[@krotchlickmeugh627]

That's greenhorn shit.

[@carlkennedy2499]

Tbf it's wot you think when you no how 4stroke work

[@allan9603]

😂😂😅😊

[@IRONCaptainPanic]

At first I thought that if the bike had a decompression mechanism that decompression mechanism was stuck open a little ways, but didn't know that the valves being set wrong slightly would make such a huge impact on its compression, as a 2 stroke guy I'm glad to learn this about 4 strokes

[@troyrosenbaugh9935]

Even looser valve springs will cause a huge leak.

[@j.m.8290]

Absolutely a great score, I look forward to more of your content .. valve train is the reason for so many people getting stumped and giving up, you are doing great work just keeping it simple, that's why you succeed... Don't ever overthink it, because then you have gone past the problem.

[@dmo848]

Valves are everything in a 4 stroke. I bought n learned on an 88 kx80. Then moved to 4 stroke just cause I didn't like carrying the oil

[@dmo848]

@Nasty Habitz I still haven't learned it yet but when I have to I'll learn real quick. So many times I thought it was valves n thankfully it wasn't.

[@dmo848]

@Nasty Habitz I can't tell u how many videos I've watched on my ATV or dirt bike. I learned so much from KZbin it's not even funny. And Facebook groups. But mostly from having to start from scratch on my old 88 kx80. It still throws people around somehow. No shocks either. I never got to fixing those. But she hauls asss. I call her the 2 kick bandit. Almost every time. 2nd kick does it. Bbbrrrrp. 😂 Gotta love it. Taught myself how to ride on it, matter a fact. Now I'm back in to ATVs. I wanna get a king quad for whatever reason

[@travisgilmore5258]

I've watched about 20 plus videos and have learned something from each video. The troubleshooting and diagnosis are on point. KEEP DOING YOUR THING I SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL.

[@greathornedowl3644]

Wow, great find, and repairs. Glad it was something minor and inexpensive.

[@johng2857]

You had me at dog taking a dump at 00:23 in!!!! Love the videos man!! JG

[@therealreaction2856]

so thats what i saw

[@M.TTT.]

epic poop moment

[@vesandreev8500]

Too funny... :D :D :D

[@dwightvoeks9970]

Dogs dropping a deuce at 0:27 and 1:58😂 Very happy to see the wash job before any disassembly 👍

[@sandmanbub]

There's an inexpensive tool for removing the caps that you've been using a screwdriver and hammer to remove. The tool has 4 different size ends and doesn't require the use of a hammer. It will leave no marks on the caps.

[@petepeabody8905]

No parts required is always a plus. Good job

[@bernardperaldi7488]

The fixing part between the engine and the frame is missing.😉

[@peterfranks7619]

I like the sound of this one, my kind of bike. Your videos are great. It seems like I’ve watched you grow up on KZbin I’m 59 so I can say that stuff. I mean it in a positive way. Keep the videos coming. God bless you and your family.

[@crazycrookerr]

First video of yours I watched. Very impressed. Great camera angles, and not boring or drawn on like some others. Very happy to actually see the bike ride after!! Subscribed instantly!

[@andrewstambaugh240]

Enjoyed your talking through the logic of each step. I work on my own bikes, but i also help friends and am always up for learning more efficient troubleshooting.

[@Draerer]

Nice work there Mr. I'm really glad to see your thorough approach [professional]. Especially since the buggy project that had gas in crankcase Yowza. Inspiring

[@kookiedabear]

Awesome find for such a simple fix. She's is loud, but sounds like a true thumper at idle.

[@edlockrow6581]

Another great video. Great diagnostic skills. Your videos are well paced. You've become one of my favorite channels. Thanks for all your hard work. I've learned so much from your channel.

[@namtech425]

The dog taking a dump at the beginning was funny! Lool! Nice find on this. They can be a money pit if stuff goes wrong.

[@Kalus_Saxon]

1:55 looking straight at you… “Got a present for ya dad”…..🐕💩 😂

[@2vintage]

Yeah he was. Crazy dog

[@jayaustin3096]

Great to see ya get work on a dirt bike again. Great video as always. Thanks for sharing.

[@g57462]

You are the man good job 👏 👍 🙌 you diagnose, repair and restore, even though Vinny took a dump,you found gold,keep on brother

[@localenterprisebroadcastin5971]

Probably needs a mid body carb service…hell of a wandering idle …but other than that great find find sir 👍

[@carlmay3396]

I'm starting to see a re-occurring theme in all these videos, it appears most people have no idea how to adjust valves or don't seem to know thats a thing they need to do lol. Love these videos, learned soo much from them!

[@border411]

I have flipped more bikes that I got cheap just because someone didn't have wires connected or valves adjusted. It truly amazes me.

[@richardwallinger1683]

top quality mechanicing .. the result speaks volumes well done . I was 1980 Donnington GT championship champion one liter class.my hillman imp based engine was overhead cam and the cam clearances were a regular adjustment .. for optimum performance . i assembled a decent set of shims to achieve the correct clearances .

[@handsolo6241]

Vinny and I share an opinion on Yamaha.

[@TTOS69]

00:26 01:54 lmao bro Vinney taken a poop! 🤣 Nice find bro! That's a good price for that bike!

[@sandmanbub]

Another great job Joe. I'd bet the compression increases a bit after the rings seat.

[@2vintage]

Yeah I'm sure it did

[@cubmancan]

Great Video showing how the top end of the new 4 stroker MXer's operates. Thanks!

[@ROTV-DanLockhart]

She sounds super sweet, Joe. Nice find and great to hear it running! Thanks for this video.

[@YouriCarma]

Amazed about how you are able to tackle any problem with those bikes again and again. But practice makes perfect I guess.

[@user-fi3fx5my2s]

Just got a 1980 KX 80 in the shop. Immaculate bike, no compression. Top end shot, 1/2 " hole in piston ringsin pieces, new one on me. I'll get her fixed tomorrow. I have a new top end on shelf already. Got last year for that old popper.

[@1damghost]

joe your missing the top motor mount its tottally missing. would not be good to ride it like that.

[@zackdaveis4721]

I had the same bike! I polished the frame brake and kick start along with swing arm and it looked so sick.

[@dhooter]

Brings back memories from when I was a kid with my 88 XR80 in the summers. I sold it and bought a 1990 RM80. What a completely different animal that RM was lol. The power band was vicious

[@johnbest4320]

Great pick up Joe definitely a nice purchase you ended up with a great looking bike for the price the oil that was in this was a insane amount that why I like the way you check everything have a smashing evening mate enjoy the yz 250 #2Vintage

[@shreader327]

My 2003 yz 250f always needed valve adjustments. Once the compression started going(getting easy to kick without the compression release lever, and hard to start cold ) , adjusted the valves and she was good to go for another summer.

[@jont8707]

At this point what CANT you fix joe lol been watching for years you have came a long way my dude it's great to see all the fruits of your labor bro 👍

[@robertgonzalez8419]

You are like a surgeon diagnosing a patient well done God bless

[@seansysig]

Stole another one ! Kudos on the diagnostic steps. Also thanks for sharing the hopped up cam and gear timing marks. The valve shim calculation seems to be a frequently overlooked step when improving performance of a bike engine. Plain lazy.

[@chathamguy1able]

nice video--- i wonder what the guy that sold you the bike was thinking when you test drove the bike after fixing it --good job --

[@seanhayden7151]

Gonna have to build a separate shop to hold all the fixed machines if you don’t start selling them

[@2vintage]

Yeah ill have to do that here soon

[@RT-vo2vh]

Seems like you could have a "yard sale" with all the bikes for sale at same time. Springs coming and demand for bikes should be high. Too much money tied up in depreciating inventory

[@badlyniceness2315]

The only guy I know who could invite a crowd of people on a group ride and put them all on a nice ,well maintained machine…

[@Turtle-RR]

​@R T are we not still in an Era of unprecedented resale values?

[@nickorimbo7551]

I need this kind of bike...am in Nairobi Kenya how do I get one?

[@theshootindutchman]

I had a nearly identical 2007 YZF 450......fun strong cool looking bike 👍 I think the looks with black and white for a yammie was neat!

[@Chris22967]

Thanx Joe, i was just eating my lunch here in the UK when you zoomed in ov Vinny taking a dump. 🤮HA HA.

[@2vintage]

Hahaha sorry about that🤣

[@nightowl5959]

Excell rims came stock on yz250 and 450 years 06-09

[@dennis82468]

I know you've probably thought of this but you may want to consider building a shop. :) Such a beautiful bike....super nice find

[@2vintage]

Yeah I really need to haha

[@je5635]

I'm guessing he makes more off of KZbin then he would with a shop. Ofcourse you could do both at the same time Joe. Make it a stipulation of working on their stuff that you get to post the video.

[@MarkOwen-ej5gy]

love the stuff you put on here , Ive learned a lot from your films

[@mentallyderanged9169]

Nice video always love those easy fix cheap finds. You’re holding the quart of oil wrong. If you turn it 180 degrees so the angle is facing down it pours smooth and won’t gulp. The oil sits low in the angle of the quart and the air goes in through the gap at the top, everyone holds quarts upside down and makes the oil gulp out instead of a nice flow nice and smooth how it is designed and supposed to.

[@fon129]

Good inspection easy fix you done a great job credit to you your a good one thanks for the video from Ireland.

[@briansardelis7152]

Love your show VIN you know your stuff on bikes. I had to comment cause I saw you use wd-40 to wipe down the bike I’ve been doing it for years on my dirtbikes plastic and it gets everything off and shinny better then any product like armourall etc I also use it on truck tires but also vegetable oil spray work amazing also keep the videos going look forward to them

[@2LegitTooQuit]

Great work as always. Looked like 2stroke fuel when you opened the petcock 😂

[@thebigguy8306]

Thanks for another informational video. Always a learning moment and a nice ride. The hardest-working man in the Dairyland, except for maybe Aaron Rodgers

[@nickorimbo7551]

Hey bro am in Africa Kenya Nairobi...is it possible to get this kind of bike to Nairobi

[@AZVIDS]

Nice one Joe, man you are getting quite a “collection” of toys!

[@chrisfisher5745]

I had a 05 250 yz man I miss that sound now I have a kx 06 450f, good work on the bike. I wish I was that mechanical like you are then I would work on my own bikes cuz I love working on bikes and trying to fix them myself it's cheaper if I do it if I know how to fix the bike to. Thanks for making the video.

[@davidhopper1087]

great job . usually watch your videos on tv . cant comment or give thumbs up . though i would comment your video's are enthralling . keep up the job , regards Dave in the UK .

[@richardmiller5238]

Mr. Wizard on those machines! Excellent job! 👌😁

[@lucky18]

Amazing diagnosis!

[@timboruff9782]

Tank you so much for not giving up

[@SuperLaplander]

Lovely bike! Congrats and thanks!

[@Mutiny-5050]

I am sure you have heard this before but troubleshooting and teardowns on newer models ( something this decade) are much more in demand. Also a lot more to get into but the ROI for a 2020 2 stoke is ridiculous now a days. Plus you cant beat the engineering of a new design, especially the Austrian brands.

[@tomspiffles4933]

I would love to see a Q&A to know what his neighbors think of him always riding bikes and contraptions down the road. I would also love to know if any of the people you buy the machines from buy them back after they have been fixed. Also what do you do with all these machines after you have fixed them.

[@flat-earther]

hi tomspiffles have you become a flat earther yet? If not I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.

[@roreyheinzeroth5216]

Nice nice bike for the money... Great video... Great diagnosis

[@TheOfficialDJSipp]

Dude knows how to fix anything !

[@68-72mmALKY-M1]

I feel the air screw needs to go in alil more because it hangs on too long on the D-CELL of the rev.

[@JohnCarter-qv1ie]

Too bad your so young. We needed you! I was great at tearing bikes up! Greetings from Delaware!

[@leebenson4874]

Sounds a little low on the idle side of the fuel settings? Seems to be not dropping down to idle like it should. Remember to rich is better than to lean especially in the break-in process. Good job catching the mistake on the Eng. valves.

[@Anticidal25901]

Man, not sure if you noticed or not but it appears to be missing an upper engine mount lol

[@TheBallz651]

Just picked up one of these bike and cant wait to go out riding. just have to learn how to rebuild the rear shock.

[@markward6076]

Amazing, your an excellent mechanic. Great job.

[@BigTuna74]

have issue check your throttle cable clean carb. Nice find bro.

[@vicsbudgetbuilds7632]

I love your dog taking a dump at the beginning of the video lol

[@rambofan1]

😂 I was laughing when I caught Vinny pooin in the background when the video started and then you zoomed in on him 🤣

[@davidecklund04]

Nice! 👌 Good catch on it being the valves adjustment and obviously having an extra 2 quarts of oil in it. That'll put a damper on just about every motor I know of. Luckily no blown head gasket from that. Pretty Awesome man! Just doubled your money right there. Give or take a little bit. I know it's not all about the Benjamins. About 85% though right! Lol. Really though, I just started watching you on KZbin not even a week ago. And you are the real deal. I've learned a few tricks already. I'm sure alot of people who really don't know much or anything about working on motorcycles/Atvs/exc. have learned alot too. Keep the content flowing Man! 🤙 🇺🇸👊💪🇺🇸

[@alaadinhamawi]

I have the exact same bike in 2007 model. What a thing of beauty.

[@anthonyreddy2834]

If valves are open just a little, all your compression goes away. Great Job!

Was Vinny trying to give his opinion on Yamaha's lol j/k Nice find and easy fix she sounds great Love the videos

[@0001Noah]

It's always mind boggling to think about how they checked the valves and they actually thought they were in spec.

[@Crosshatch1212]

Happens more than you think .

[@dubiousf00d]

Exactly why I try to stick with 2 stroke. No time for messin with valves

[@mikenike776]

Some people should really do their research before they mess with valves or just leave it to the people that know how to...

[@rakel9000]

”And That is the valves...They are indeed here, perfect”

[@motorcore_usa]

its because if the timing is off then it will change the clearance

[@stephdiesel2110]

gotta chill out on all the revving, if its freshly rebuilt that means the rings haven't even seated into the cylinder yet but great fix and sweet vid

[@volusia407]

The factory tank graphics on that year are pretty cool tbh!

[@jasonpardoe1408]

Smashed it out of the park again 😎👊🇬🇧

[@rafalkus7000]

I saw a video about stage 2 Hot Cams being set to .20mm ex and .15mm in and not the recommended .17mm-.22mm ex and .10-.15mm in. plus the buckets are usually too tight for 16+ years old bikes. I used the .15mm and .20mm and made sure my buckets were 'spinning freely' while seated and the bike never kicked that easy.

[@m4xh3dr0m]

Ouch i hope the seller isnt watching the vid. Nice bike and nice fix!

[@mynametater]

Vinny pinching off a loaf at the beginning had me in tears

[@shademirandalarson6793]

Love the dirtbike content!!

[@MotoBuilds]

If valves are zeroed out I pull them, cut seats and install new (usually stainless). Shimming is just a bandaid to intake valves being cupped and eventually losing heat transfer to valve seat then valves snap.

[@DRZWhisperer]

uh oh I didn't see you crack the timing chain tensioner cap loose before loosening it from the cylinder! Also, that intake cam looks kind of special. I know I've commented this before, but I love those 5 valve yamaha's! The center intake valve always tightens up first
