  • READ DESCRIPTION: I didnt mention this but if you have good ears, listen carefully when my bike is running. I hear a noise when its idling so i may have to do some top end work to it but let me know if there's something wrong. i was watching my old videos of this bike and it was doing the same thing. leave a commit, like and subscribe. channels not dead yet.

    We used to use the pinky dipstick on our bikes. Just stick your pinky in the hole and if it just touches oil, its good to go.

    My 82 xt200 has a sight window. Same side, down low towards the front of the motor.

    That's a nice bike! I had a 73 yamaha dt3 250 that was in almost mint condition street legal 2 stroke. I rode it everywhere then decided I needed something a little bigger so I traded it for a 83 Honda shadow 500 that I still ride. That top end clatter is pretty normal wouldn't hurt to run through the valve clearance

    How do you like the air filter box system on this bike and have you tried talking the carborator out yet

    Do you by chance have a part number for that oil filter?

    They are no Phillips head screws on Japanese bikes. The Japanese had their own standard called JIS. Google it.If you use Phillips head it destroys the slot. Get a JIS screwdriver.

      I’m confused on what your talking about bleeding screws. I definitely don’t wanna blow up or seize the motor either. I just installed a new air filter recently though. How about you post a “how to” video on how to do it.

    There’s no dip stick because if you look under your foot peg there’s a little glass window that lets you see how much oil you have

    What oil filter did you use?

  • @luisfernandoleonsr6635

    does this bike start with a death battery?
