Will it run? Part II - 1998 Honda XR80r

I bought a non-runner to use as a play bike. Watch as I learn my way through the process and discover the true condition of the engine.

Nothing is better than learning on an inexpensive dirt bike. You’ve got nothing to lose.

Especially when it finally runs!

When you buy a used dirt bike you never know what you gonna find, it looks like it probably should have had more oil 🛢 changes so that there is less dirt in the oil 🛢, but all parts I was told should be installed smooth, but not too loose or too tight, Did you check out those websites on dirt bike parts?

[@jimfielding171]

Yeah, I think that was the case here… never changed the oil and ran it hard possibly. Part III will be posted tomorrow 😎

@@jimfielding171 Sometimes when a Dirt Bike doesn't have good maintenance it could bring the value down, but when owning a Dirt Bike, there is always the cost of maintenance at a Dirt Bike shop.
