Good job brother.

Nice looking place you have there Chriss. How many acres you have? You need to do a tour of CK Cycles for us all. What state you in? Awesome work on the Banshee. I would love to get my hands on a Banshee engine to swap into an air cooled Yamaha YZ 125 chassis.

Sounds wicked! Need to get it out on a back road and let her eat! 🏁

Great video. This was just what I was looking for. Not a lot of info out there on what solution to use for carburettors. Most point to expensive & nasty chemicals.

I'm ready to hear that Banshee wail!

Not stock jets :)

Well she sounds good. I’d love to have one of those. Good job Chris.

U da man.

Slides, not floats. Floats are inside the carb bowls.

Carbs can be a pain. Good luck brother.

I love listening to those 2-smokers. You said the carbs weren't running the stock jetting. I see there are aftermarket pipes on the bike, are there any other modifications from stock besides the pipes that you know of?

WOW! Never seen a stator that bad in my life.

Nice video, thanks :) I have VF 700 -86 myself too. Do you need to take off radiator if you want to remove carbs?

By the way: stator ,ignition coil source and light coil should be isolated from the plate.....?

Hi ! Do you know if ignition plate must be isolated from the frame? Thank again bye

Hi! How do you set the tester? The image is blurred.thank bye

Was this a project you worked on in secret, and then surprised him with it? You must have been on a shakedown run... I don't see any fishin' gear. 😁

can I ask mileage originally and especially how much did you get the bike for/pay? im looking at same thing with kicker pretty much it has a title as well-and from michigan

When do I get a ride??

Nice

Good job brother

I vote you install a big-bore kit! 😝

I know I've mentioned this before, but you make this stuff look easy. Super good video. I have the same bike. So is there no oil in the forks? Mine is in really nice shape, but I've never done anything with forks, so I've been dreading the job.

One can add a portion of Isopropyl alcohol to prevent foaming.

Back on the 125 again! I figured you must have been waiting on a few parts for that bike. Maybe you need a couple more projects to work on Chris? We need more content! 🤣

Good job brother

Great video

@Chris, besides knowing how to start your XT500, you also know how to make it look a lot smaller than other XTs 😮

I’ve got a 76 no window XT 500 - Make sure the switch is in run Choke down or on Ignition off Fuel on Compression lever in / pulled Kick 8 times No throttle Switch ignition on Compression lever in / pulled Slow kick down all the way Back to top Slow half kick down Back to top Full hard kick No throttle Usually 3 to 3 kicks When she starts let her warm up Enjoy 👍🏻👍🏻

Looks like a full time job to mow that lawn.

Those drag bars are definitely not stock. Couple those bars with the wear on the rear tire tells me the previous owner liked doing burnouts on that bike! I think you should stick with the drag bar theme, it suits that bike.

Well she lives and rides. I would definitely fix it.

Good job brother

I have an xt500 and a tt500. I've never used or looked at the window.

back in the old days i used to make crude drawings and label's on critical areas of disassembly.

Hearing her start up made my day. Good luck with this project. I look forward to your future posts. Cheers, from CAN

From the looks of that rear tire, I bet they did a ton of burn outs.

Engine sounds fine Chris. A bit of cosmetic damage though. May need a new rear tire. 😆 Looking forward to watching you dig into this one.

Wow, that's the kind of bikes I get most of the time.....needing lots of work. But that being said, it's a great way to save money on a good bike. Sounds good buddy, will be watchin you work.

A great project. She sounds great

Hey brother

Title "Points gap. . ." What was that Points Gap again?

Are you ready.

Nice

Good job Chris.

Nice

Magna-ficant.

Yeah that's awesome I usually kick through it with the decompression lever in a half a dozen times to get things flowing with the oil. It's the 76 model that does not have the little window I have one. Thanks for making the video your help help out quite a few people

Great video! Thanks for going into depth with each part. When replacing parts such as the crank seals, where do you get them from? Is it an eBay kind of job?

It’s nice when you can find new ones.
