Suzuki TS185 Enduro Top Speed Run | Fixing the Carburetor

[@SOCMMOB]

My first bike was a 74 Yamaha DT175, those old 2 strokes are a blast.

[@thewilliam2223]

the main is too big and thats why it boogs down, its supposed to rev out further

[@rabbishekelstein9477]

Ayeeee, I knew Matt was a good guy! Been loving this series man.

[@apersonok8426]

Its good to see old bikes like these being fixed up, I wanna personally own a motorcycle someday as my dad brought my love for them as he’s owned many Harley Davison’s in his life.

[@wemel007]

You really have an enormous problem solving power. With every new video you're creativity amazes me again and again! Keep up the good work man, and be safe on the road!

[@Kalyptic]

I love your vids man, keep up the good work, also keep finding those old bikes and giving them love!

[@Philip_smith88]

Awesome video bro. Glad you figured out what was wrong with your bike.

[@codelicious6590]

The Workshop is a legit channel man, Matt sent you screwdrivers?! That's badass!

[@dirtygarageguy]

@jesus jones LOL no arguments from me

[@nikolaihellevik8996]

Yes a video from the guy in gold

[@brycehill6678]

Hope you are still enjoying it. Just bought a 78 TS125. Using your videos extensively to rebuild it. Have to laugh cuz mine not only has a speedometer and odometer, but actually buttons for high and low beams, but no key so gas tank, seat, and fork are all locked.

[@kiesha104]

Bud.... Your your own person, I get it... If I could send you a picture of whats left of my right knee... You do away with them shorts.... Yeah people told me the same thing... Dress for the slide, not the ride.... But I had to learn for myself. Great vid as always...

[@cjfkrs61008]

I have a 71 Hodaka Ace 100b+ 2 stroke. I love the old school enduro bikes. Hopefully this year I'll get it licensed for the street.

[@johncavar2914]

Not many of us would have the know how or do better ..at times I feel your a goofy but more a guru! In motorcycle repair!! Keep up the good work and great 👍🏼 videos ! Gold Guy .. Ps u have lovely tolerant neighbors 😀🏍🐶☀️

[@GoldGuyRides]

I knoww. I'm very grateful for my neighbors. Thanks for the nice comment 👍

[@dirtbiker9687]

I can`t wait for you to upload a Yamaha video and see it running. You`r the best!!!!! KEEP UP!!!

[@reflex7941]

I clicked so fast it logged me out of my account

[@GoldGuyRides]

Hahahaha yesss that's the spirit

[@dirtygarageguy]

No worries dude - good to see them put to work. And don't they make a difference!

[@lynnh7694]

Golden job again, your persistence pays off. The wheelie thing , I'm not sure? Lol!

[@Veryfastslowcar66]

awesome man, doing my own ts185 up atm and i believe the the reason these bikes are so good down low is because of the expansion chamer because it expands later down the pipe it is tuned for more torque at lower rpms but they rip either way

[@martinkupka3575]

Great how you fixed the carb. I love unusual solutions, if they work. So much more exciting to watch too. Also good to see that you did not give up, although everything seemed to fight you.

[@indranilrakshit8990]

Love these videos! Keep them coming and if possible, upload weekend vlogs on your cb750 or the gs850 . Really missing them

[@AlexS-yy9qu]

ur dad is so awsome, loved the video as always!

[@bobcranberries5853]

Like, comment, subscribe, hit the bell..... Dude we know how it works.. 👍 I’ve done the same thing pull the carburetor off 100 times, sometimes they are just wore out.. My advice would be to stick a new two-stroke Mikuni or something on it and don’t look back. Then you’ll hit 88 mph and travel back in time.... 😳

[@juicyknark4557]

Love ur vids man! keep up the great work! :)

[@Jeekinz]

You could have used Locktite sleeve retainer on the jet holder. You only have one shot to install it so put alignment marks before you apply it. You need heat to remove if you make a misteke, but its in there for good.

[@ChadwickRider]

I wonder how she would perform with a whole new carb unit. If I may offer just one suggestion... after you paint your tanks (on all your bikes), put a coat of 2k clear coat on them so they're chemical resistant against fuel.

[@lbdrummer3]

Looking good, you'll get way more speed when you get the jetting dialed in. Listen to the guy that said to wear gear made to slide. Leathers saved my hide on the street once.

[@nathanadams6648]

I have a 74 I love it. It beats me up on trails but it’s so fun either way. And I have it plated so it goes on rode. My top speed was 60 before it terrifies me

[@gusgould4420]

I agree 2 strokes are just good

[@bgjb-r1499]

Make sure the clamps on the handlebars are tight and secure.

[@michaelschmidt4618]

The problem that you are having is that there is a small brass washer that the main jet holds in the jet tube, get online and find another carb from a salvage yard

[@artbentley4887]

Hello, I have the same carb that needs rebuild, would you have a part number for the rebuild kit

[@nikolaihellevik8996]

Can you do a cafe racer video soon?

[@GilFavor101]

$600 for one near me on Craigslist, and now after watching this video, I think $600 is a good deal considering they claim it runs.

[@onekick]

Awesome that you got it fixed! Wanna buy another one? Hahaha

[@onekick]

It's a 1973 ts185! Runs and rides but needs alot of work!! Mao!

[@johncavar2914]

2 strokes bro 👍🏼🏍

[@thesuperjank6109]

Free aux cord! I found a lightning to aux dongle outside my school the other day.

[@ddrrt4559]

Love ur vids ❤

[@cordmiller679]

whats your gearing on the bike?

[@reeledin9572]

Hey gold guy keep the vids up

[@GoldGuyRides]

I will! Thanks

[@reeledin9572]

Thanks for responding

[@andrewjones2318]

Ok this is epic

[@benjaminwater1771]

What sprocket do u use

[@axelsnipergarage3139]

JUST YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@BenginamanTheBawws]

is the front mud guard on backwards?

[@Anhnoles]

lmfao that free aux cord xD

[@davidbarradine7902]

Used to get 80 out of my '76 ts185, then burned a hole through the piston.

[@nicknotadick3027]

Washerrrrrrr

[@irsyadirachim6729]

i think you should try to use yz ignition

[@jaydenbelford5213]

How muchdid the wholeRebuilt cost

[@ohuigin9249]

Drop the main jet, 3/4 to wide is the main. So main needs to be leaned

[@GoldGuyRides]

I agree

[@keepflyingraceup698]

The old bikes are so much fun why it's not fast reeds. Air flow leaks. Crank shaft seal s. Do a leak down test get a aftermarket carburetor

[@Zinzor]

DUDE honestly. please. before you buy new plates for the yzf, take the friction plates out, blow them dry with an air compressor ,absolute dry, then oil for 24 hours in MOTOCROSS oil, synthetic and mineral oil make the friction plates slip ALOT. Oil isn't just oil , oil has alot of different components for each type of engine.

[@GoldGuyRides]

New friction plates fixed the clutch problem. Video will be ip.

[@tsx2582]

you could get the ts100er with ts125 tuning cyllinder and better exhaust then it would hit around 130 so your should probably get it atleast 150 if tunecorectly and a better exhaust or something

[@bouedebaenst1335]

Witch exhaust is fitting on these bikes, because I search one for more power

[@consubandon]

"And with these JIS screwdrivers, I will never strip a screw, again." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That's rich! Hoo-boy! Yep, two-strokes: tiny-but-torquey! One day, you will become curious and buy that beastie a new carb...

[@brandon2076]

Front wheel is bent? Bars are shaking way too much. And your main jet it too big. Bike isnt revving out like it should.

[@ersteliga781]

the macgyver among the mechanics...

[@justinrigdon4315]

I gotta 1971 ts 185 runs an drives just need a tune up an help me out thanks

[@theozman38]

Awesome. Totally awesome. Lol. You got a cool bike goldguy. Got something for you to beat on except the girlfriend. Weird joke ya I know but. Stay safe.

[@ightkinfolk1439]

Where can I get a carb for a 81 ts185 I’ve ordered 2 already and there not the right size lol

[@GoldGuyRides]

Hmm maybe the engine has been swapped and its not actually the 81 engine. I would probably get one on eBay.

[@mikeeger7581]

Check the accelerator pump

[@GoldGuyRides]

This bike has no accelerator pump

[@garyhiggins4333]

My xsport110 had more power then that lol keep up the vids mate 😎

[@kevinwilson8039]

Cool! Your getting there! How’s your nifty fifty doing?

[@saif7048]

show the smoke at 60 plz

[@scottmeyer3803]

I have a 1981 Yamaha dt100

[@rabbishekelstein9477]

Instead of that yz should have bought a 2T!!! Seeee;)

[@nathanadams6648]

Get a China clone carb. They work great. Better than a 45 year ole one.

[@edjacobson8480]

Keep those old bikes running.

[@disabledede1818]

Where’s the cb750!!

[@maxflute7893]

Maaan it's four-stroking - I guess it cuts a lot of high end power. Defenitely running too rich and not too lean...

[@jackmtb3098]

Where is the rear fender

[@GoldGuyRides]

It's in my workshop, will go on the bike soon

[@jackmtb3098]

Ok

[@marlon45aries20]

Where do you live in the United States, my friend, I would like to take my motorcycle with you so that you can repair it for me...

[@andrehardian2837]

Im from indonesia. Im waiting vidio yz450

[@michi7427]

My ts run to 95km x h max

[@firehawk6188]

Seems like a LOT of missing power. They accelerate much better than yours is. Get the carb sorted out and maybe adjust your magneto.

[@rondaharris1193]

Your not too mechanical...are you?

[@nicknotadick3027]

Omffffggg all you need is a fuckinnggg washed where the main jet screws in wttfffffffffff

[@nicknotadick3027]

WASHERRRRRRR

[@steveh7823]

I skip watched a few vids in this TS 185 'resto'. What a horror show, looked more like butchery than mechanics. Everything I saw was wrong, working on the floor, smacking the magneto with a hammer, drilling out the main jet with the jet in his fingers , putting a new chain on very worn sprockets, spray painting random parts gold. Decides 'I'm just gonna use premix, forget about the oil pump', the pump will run dry and seize its drive shaft. It's a lesson on how not to restore on a bike.

[@GoldGuyRides]

Everybody's gotta start somewhere, this is where I started.
