You guys are absolutely genius! All of you! Props to the video team!

Thanks. We have a crazy talented video group. Josh and Kobee put this one together. - Justin

[@andybrooks4070]

Justins face is priceless when Charles is talking about his compression XD

[@sarahkeene500]

Regarding the DT forks, to increase the compression damping you can pull out the damping rod and weld up some of the holes. I did half of them on a similar vintage KDX 200 and that worked well.

[@clydebutler6487]

Hey guys! Enjoyed this series almost as much as 5 MOH. Tip for Justin, add a spacer in your forks to compress the springs which will make them stronger. Start with a 1" spacer made from 3/4" steel pipe and go from there. Too much spacer will make the forks "top out". Tip for Ray and all drum brake guys. Disc brakes have been around for so long that most guys don't know how to make drum brakes work. New brake shoes must be "arced" to fit the drum and how you arc them depends on the type of brake you have, ie. single action or double action. Your brakes are all single action. When the brake is pulled on, a flat piece of metal between the shoes at one end rotates while the other end pivots. So the end of the shoe that moves toward the drum face hits first while the end of the shoe that pivots does not touch the drum face. The brake shoes must be sanded so that most of the shoes touch the drum. You will sand more at the end that moves than the pivot end. Sanding the shoe in an arc. Next, that flat piece of metal that rotates to push the shoes out must be flat against the shoes when the shoes are almost touching the drum, for maximum strength (before adjusting the cable).. If it is rotated when the brake lever is not being pulled, there is less leverage against the shoes and the bike won't stop no matter how hard you pull the lever. If that flat piece of metal is not flat against both shoes when the shoes are almost touching the drum, you can add some thickness to both sides of the rotating piece until it IS flat against both shoes. Double action shoes are almost the same, except the shoes are sanded from the center of the shoe to zero at each end. After you have "good" brakes, you'll find that your brakes will "fade" some while riding because the shoes are wearing and leaving dust inside the drum. And on dirt bikes, dirt gets in there too. This dust acts like microscopic ball bearings and reduces your braking ability. My favorite trick while I was out riding was to lay the bike on it's side and pour water into the drum and spin the tire. Lots of water. I had no brakes for the first couple of times I put the brakes on, but show stopper brakes afterward. I could easily do nose wheelies when I wanted to and guys that borrowed my bike would go over the bars quite often (hee, hee, hee). Hope this helps. Clyde

Spread these episodes!!! Make more people see this so these guys can keep making stuff like this. The challenges are awesome! :D

[@SasquaPlatypus]

Oh man growing up riding and working on 60s and 70s bikes (in the 90s) on a zero dollar budget this brings back great memories! Every time you fire up one of the two strokes I can SMELL this video. Wish I were there wrenching too.

[@rmatvmc]

I am in the same boat. The crazy thing is, even with modern 2-stroke oil, the old DT smells like I remember the old bikes smelled (back in the 90's working on 70s bikes). it is the strangest thing! I love it! Brings back good memories for me too! - Justin

[@michaelbean8404]

So awsome! I love the camaraderie and competition that builds as you all build the bikes.

[@JeffSichoe]

I have hardout ADD and can't even sit still long enough to watch my kid eat dinner but I sat here and watched at least an hour solid of you guys mucking around and it was awesome.

What's amazing is most of these bikes probably have never been rebuilt and are still running

I love the old 2 Strokes - my buddy Rob had this similar Suzuki TS 185 bike when we were in HS - don't under estimate the old 2 strokers.... The suzuki and the Yamaha 175 - or the YZ best bikes here!! Usually Its the Honda but - those Honda's are Clapped out... :) I love that the DT 175 High beam indicator still works!!

Thanks, Christopher! It had it's ups and downs but overall I have a blast! - Chase

[@edjacobson8480]

That Honda XL 350 is an awesome all around trail bike. It has low seat height, enough suspension for mild jumping, and a six speed for short distance on freeway.

[@z33tanner]

That trick for holding the brakes down to align drums is cool, almost like mtb disk brake aligning. Should have tried that on my pit bike

Looks like lots of fun over there.

Back in 84' I raced a Honda xr200 my wife's bike! My cr250 was down, anyways back to story started race made it out 3 miles rear tire hits rock in sand wash busts out 6 six spokes sat rest of day waiting for sweep.

[@atv55803]

dude with the dt yam fork issue what u do to stiffen them up is throw some 1 and 1/14 spacer slugs in there find some dia aluminum solid stock and cut them at 1in and a half and start there and keep cutting them down to desire stiffness

[@pearcepolcyn5497]

"Penny for your thoughts" killed me

[@miguelvillasenor2224]

In the 175 instead of adding oil try adding a 1 or 2mm spacer on top of the spring, that way you Will have More preload AND stiffen the forks a bit

[@reddevil331]

Carbs are cool!!

[@aliksaja8271]

the dt fork : press down the fork (load the springs) while putting the caps back on (minimizing the density of trapped air above the oil level when the spring sprung back up with the caps on tight). i don't know wether or not he did it already, it was not shown in the video.

[@tuomashayrinen4763]

Nice work! I like watching stuff where you just don't buy some bling, but actually put a bit of effort into it and possibly learn something new on the way. But you've got to step up a little on your mechanical skills. Its not that hard to for example to add some shimms on the forks. For smokers and hard enduro you want low down torque, so drop those cylinders down to lower timings and also improve squish (if the bikes have any). But anyway, a big thumbs up!

[@rmatvmc]

Thanks for the tips!

[@ΓιάννηςΡουμελιώτης-χ3π]

[@johnnyrebellion8672]

That Suzuki 250 is prehistoric so it's a no. The dual carb honda is out. The 78' DT175 is cool. The XT and XR 200 with Race Tech cartridge emulators and gold valve for the rear would kick but even in 2021 if there was no spending limit. My favorite is the 1980 YZ. Put modern suspenders on it also and it would also kit butt. Looks great too. As far as winning a tough enduro out of these bikes I'd pick the XR 200.

Bikes with no power are usually very reliable. My xr80 is a tank but doesn't like giant hills with 230 pounds on it. Always runs though
