When you did the brakes, you only unbolted the caliper bracket. You needed to remove the pads and clean the pad clips and remove, clean and lube the caliper guide/slide pin. That is what’s going to help the pads back off when you release the brakes.
I've rebuilt the caliper on old bikes that sat, and there was so much green goo inside the caliper. I don't think you need to buy any parts. Just let the fluid push the pistons out, and then clean real good (don't get brake clean on the seals). And, clean the pistons real good. Then, they work like new again (although the lines can get totally stuck up too). But, yeah, first step is cleaning pads, lubing wear spots, and clean and lube the slide/pin. But, I'd take them completely apart, and clean inside real good too.
Yeah I knew it, Vinnie went straight to the radiator! Vinnie is a certified motorcycle tech!!
Im sure he puts a Dogg6y treat on the bike LOL
He definitely knows how to Sniff out the Problem! 😎
I consider Vinnie official MOTO-PUP
Joe needs to take Vinnie when he goes to look at projects. He could could check them out. Put his paw over the spark plug hole kick it over. He can tell if it's has good compression.
Long live 2 strokes
Amen brother
I call them tork strokes.
I remember my first, brand new 1980 YZ 400
@bilzedek3774 put that on a t shirt I'll buy it
Damn right
Hahhahhahahhahaa😂😂😂😂😂
I like how much of the fork stanchion is below the front axle on this bike. However Joe, the front brake hose is routed wrong at the bottom. It goes around the inside the fork tube to the caliper. Check some on line photos to see how it should look.
No offense to him, but IMO, he needs to slow down and look at the technicalities of everything the best he can, no matter how simple they may seem, until he knows everything he does is right. I have only seen a hand full of his vids, and this is the 2nd time he missed something simple, (chain under the guide was the 1st I saw).
I actually find that kind of amazing. The guy digs right into transmissions and still misses the simple things. I guess I learned from the outside going in. :)
Yea, before the upside down forks, 12" of fork travel would have that much slider tube under hang under the axle. Made riding rutted corners a bit tricky sometimes. The pros of the day seemed to have little problem though. :)
I tune in every video for one reason - Vinny is underated in the community and deserves so much more recognition in his incredible ability to Sniff out a good deal !
In 50+ years of dirt bikes,that's the 1st master link i've seen come off.Everyone says carry a spare,but I stopped years ago,because it never happens.Now we see why Vinny ran away.Smart doggy.
Yeah, I've seen one fall off when riding either. As long as it's installed correctly and you don't let the clip wear down to a sliver, they stay on. In this case, the clip was missing. 23:40 you can see it's missing, and again at 27:59
Had the RM250, battled to get through first 3gears without lifting the front tyre. Dad made me get rid of it because of the neighbours complaining.👍
U know my nabors are complaining about my yz125 2003 cops told my dad there getting alot of call about my bike I love my bike im not getting rid of it to much fun it is load though when I smash gas
Between your off-loading and your kick-starting, I'm nominating you for a knee replacement by the time you turn 30. Love the channel...
I love seeing your videos about repairing these dirtbikes, atvs, and side by side. You inspired me to learn how to repair these vehicles
Ditto...
The chain, or worse the sprocket, could have really badly damaged your foot. Maybe wearing boots is a good idea especially for the first ride. That bike sounds so good !
You need to start jetwashing these bikes before you mess with them mate
Nope
it does make it a lil easier
That chain looks like some links are semi frozen even before you started the bike the 1st time
Holy cow... You're amazing! Most interesting mechanic in the world. After hes worked on a bike, they actually go faster when the brakes are applied! 😅
I'm an x racer from the late 70's... I'm looking to get back on the dirt and go vintage racing... I cannot find shit in my state affordable... You get the killer deals and that one there would work... I found your videos about five months ago... Good job with the videos and keep it up...
This is my favorite channel. I feel way more confident working on bikes after watching all these videos
What a rare bike. Crusty as hell yet works mint.
This isn't as crusty as the yz125,that mx revival is building
Im surprised that dosn't happen more often , you hardly ever give any love to the chain and sprockets, sounds like its running great .
The front brake line..
Joe .. for the love of God😂😳
Fenders, number plates, 3m backgrounds, rad shrouds, rm decals. Blue oem fork boots, pit replica blue seat cover..UFO plastics of Italy has you covered..
You just got to love the Peak sound when you're topping those two strokes out
What a coincidence that you and the previous owner rode it for only 10 minutes! 😅
If you go back to when you were shifting it through the gears in the garage I could see the front sprocket was doing something weird.
Great buy, that bike runs out amazingly. Glad you dodged a bullet on the chain break.
Joe, I noticed the chain had some bad spots as you were going through the gears on the stand, then, as you were unloading it at the land I noticed you had not lubed the chain, and said out loud, I hope that chain doesn't break...man, you were very lucky that you, or the engine, were not hurt, glad you're okay, Rich in Sacramento
lucky his dangling sneaker lace didnt get caught in that chain too lol
The loose engine mount added extra stress on that dry crappy chain.
You have a lot of confidence to take on a Suzuki. I wouldn't expect a brand new Suzuki to start. Especially if 32 degrees or colder.
Love the 2 stroke videos, getting a deal and being able to fix it with out the whole “just needs a carb clean (aka this motor is blown) is nice!
"It's had lots of work done" but not running. Your patience and knowledge are able to leap those hurdles. 2Vinny is with me on this one. You need to rent a Uhaul and go to Baltimore for the 100+ pile of seized
At around 13:44 of the video there's a shot of the master link (different link plate) without a clip. I would guess the clip wasn't there in the first place. Great presentation with your video's and the steps you take to diagnose and repair. You have your way with tool selection and what it takes for repair but it's your video's and you're making the big bucks with this process. Your'e doing something right with your following and views! Vinnie is a treasure and my Labradoodle goes nuts every time Vinnie is on the big screen. Well done Joe!
Wow good eye, it was absolutely missing the clip from the beginning. Glad there were no consequences.
Need to put 10 on the number plate lol
Nothing like the sound/ or feel / of a 2 stroke coming on the pipe ! 1st bike: Husky 360 .... 2nd bike: CZ 400 (twitchy and light) .. got married .. 3rd bike: Suzuki Rm 400 ..... next bike ..... 9 kids and 16 hour days ensued ! .... retired now watching other folks killing it out there !! Thanks 2V you do good work young man !!!
Very knowledgeable.. I like watching your videos. Get to learn a lot from you appreciate it brother.
Nice work bud. Ya I guess there was a lot of loose bolts and missing bolts as u said in beginning of video.. happens when you aren't sure what previous owner did.... most importantly I am very GLAD that you didn't get hurt!!
Im hooked on your channel. Its like Clue for motor heads hahaha! But seriously very informative content with some suspense.
Congratulations! For me, you and others inspired me to purchase an Adventure Bike, the one you all think is not, 2023 CB500x. Love it and I’m new at this, outside of ATVs. I laughed at your comment in a previous video about not being intimidated by those professionals on some videos and that most guys were middle aged graying beards and chubby lol. Me on the dot. The content I love is the camping, exploration from the riders POV and seeing other bikes go through the terrain. So keep blending those clips and enjoy the rides for us who don’t have cool places to ride. Far East cost here, so not much around without hours of travel. I know, sucks! Ha.
What a SCORE on that bike Joe, AMAZING!!
I know some of the older bikes power band is like an on off switch but your already in the power and high rpm when i could hear it. But just what i thought i could hear. All in all great deal for the bike and great video as always.
Love seeing Vinnie in your videos. Thanks for the entertainment.
Vinnie! I heard construction going on in your last few vids. If it’s your driveway you had done, looks amazing. Love Vinny!!!! 🎉😊❤ watching from sunny Southern California. Can ride year round! Miracle with the chain incident dang.
Great video as always love the dirt bike content an quad keep it coming
WE NEED A FULL RESTORATION VIDEO
This bike f'n' rips, Joe! You scored a great deal. Thanks man!
I've never seen a carb like that. The way the floats are held in place seems pretty unique.
you beat him down it was 1000 but good on you for getting it and fixing it dose sound nice through head phones take care all stay safe xx from London
An untrained garage wonder acquaintance of mine bought a dilapidated Mustang and totally disassembled it. He threw every last fastener into a large bucket. All of them. He ended up with half a bucket of mixed, rusty, greasy unidentified fasteners. The car sat in the back yard in the weather and eventually was thrown away one piece at a time. He held on to the engine last saying, "I'm gonna rebuild it." to the very end. He never did.
first step is always just get her a plate and fall in love. theeeeeeeeen you throw every fastener in a bucket 😂
So, he was an idiot.
10/10 video I learned so much from your presenting style thank you!!
30 seconds fired up then straight to some full throttle ripping hell yeah!!!
Stop clutching and Speed shift! When the bike is cold, speed shift earlier and keep the revs down a little till it warms. Thank you.
Ya doesn't have a clue.
I love trying to figure out what’s wrong with the bike before you. It’s like a game I play😂 and I learn a lot from you
Very cool!!!
Love the channel happy holidays
I'd like to see a full restoration on this bike, either new plastics or clean up the old one but would definitely like to see it in its former glory
I really learn a lot from you every video is very informative .lts great when you finally kick em to life.
So awesome. Gonna need more room asap!!!! Stacking them up!!!!!!
Noticed a tight linkage on the chain as you was spinning the wheel.
yup ... could see a kink
+1 I was looking for this comment
when you rev it hard some bolts and nuts are droppping, i saw it
Vinny loved it right from the get go!!!!
Got to love that Inspector Vinnie Bobarino !!
Nice video bro lovein you content wish i had the time to do all these rebuilds you do keep up the great work
Not enough bolt/security checking on the bike and l'm shouting "No coolant!" Let's hope this is a learning chance like the KX85 and not ignored.
Love these old 2 strokes!
You should consider a bike lift table.
Makes this work so much easier!
great vid dude rm 125 was my first and only scrambler bike lovely to watch and brought back great memories i could smell that 2 stroke over here in ireland lol
That chain coming off is a warning... GEAR UP also Move the truck and trailer well.away from where you speed test!
Not worth taking Chances.
Especially when alone 👍👌
Another great win for Vin
Got lucky on that bottom, I seen the chain links kinda kinked up, gotta put some "earl" on it, Thank you for everything you teach me and I've learned alot from you, long time subscriber,💪😎💯
😊😊😊 Congratulations for you not so much us die hard fans that like to see your skills at work. Hopefully you can find a good repair one next so we can see the money disappear into repairs. Following as usual from the arm chair. 😊😊😊
Vinnie knows best haha!! Good video joe. Same thing happened to me with the chain but I wasn’t so lucky and it cracked the case but I wasn’t going very fast
Great project, good job, keep up the hard work. Subs way up, views up
I wish I could find a bike like this for $700! Good job joe
I would love to see the final update and real ride on this bike. It deserves it.😊
Very nice score my friend . I got a friend with new plastic's & complete sticker kit. Idk if they're repop's 🤔 & I could ask if he would sell. Don't know what they're worth to be honest ?. Sweet bike & what you got it for is crazy . Let me know I will ask. Glade you didnt hurt yourself with the chain ordeal 💯😮. Salute 2.V 😎👍
I love that bike !!! Sounds so amazing haven’t got to ride in 4 years 😞 can’t afford a bike work every day and still can’t afford one but one of these years I’ll have one 😂
Can’t beat an old 2 stroke 👌🏻
Vinnie seal of approval! 🐶🐶🐶
Never been a worry wart, but dogs do get into things, double checking wouldn't hurt so he can't get into any coolant/antifreeze ☠🐕, nonetheless another great video bro! 👍🏻
I paid a kid in the neighborhood 650 for a Jawa CZ 250 back in '71 that bike reminds me of it with the yellow. the expansion chamber. thats where it ends. wish i had that CZ
The bike's "complete" without many fasteners.🤔 So is it "complete"?🤷🏽♂
A lot of the existing fasteners are random pieces of hardware off of his lawnmower!🙄
Ten minutes of ride time, with decades of filth.
"Why would he run a brand new top end without any coolant?" Well just look at the bike. Did he ever do anything correct?
When a hammer is needed to remove the caliper, then by all means, rebuild the brake calipers! The assisstance of a screwdriver does not constitute a proper "fix/repair"!
Top end is fresh indeed.👍🏼 Hope you can save this one, Joe.👊🏼
Great CZcams channel , you have great skills and a great dog however when purchasing a two stroke motocross bike I always take out the ignition cover to check for the play on the crank by hand 🤚, and I noticed that chain obviously need it lubricant , you seem to find great deals on bikes and I’m always looking forward to see how do you fix the bikes issues ! Fortunately this bike was a very good deal , I hope some day you restore one of the two strokes you have I wonder how would you approach a restoration project , thank for posting your videos
There's a good market for older mechanically sound beat up cosmetically bikes. Actually they are the most fun to ride and use because everything mechanical is rebuilt or new so it won't break down and leave you setting. It's not perfect so you can ride it hard without worrying about scratching or crashing it. You can use it for a backup or spare bike to loan family and friends to have something to ride at get togethers. My cousins and I grew up riding 2-stroke motocross dirt bikes in the 1970's and 1980's. When I go over to his house for family dinners and reunions he has a barn full of about 20 bikes like this. We all jump on one and go around the farm to rip them. Several of us are highly experienced riders and are very good at it. Some of my other cousins and their grand-kids and kids aren't. It's nice to put them on something that runs good, yet if they lay it down it's not a huge issue.
I had one of these back in the day. It had awesome low-end great mid-range and zero top-end power. This thing straight rips. Where mine used to sign off, this one starts to make even more power. I remember Eric Gore's name being highly respected back then. Now I see why.
Beautiful bike! What a lucky fix 😂
I love your eagerness to get it running, but check everything before cranking it up. Don’t wish to see you get hurt .
You know the dudes who hate on Joe are mad when they see this win💪🏼hell yeah
This is not a win bro lol it’s a clapped out pos
Hi Put a washer on that front sprocket as it may have contributed to the chain coming off good stuff keep the vids coming man I always watch your stuff take care.
Your a good mechanic but I’ll never understand why you start a freshly rebuilt bike and just rev it to 8k🤦♂️
Not reved to 8k.
Great videos mate I moved upto brand new 250 and these videos helped me , feel confident working on it
Had a 1976 RM 125 I got from my Buddy and went through and restored it. That thing was really Pipey and would pull the front wheel without even trying. Saw a fully restored one go on Bring a Trailer this year for $8600!
Great looking cycle Glad you were not injured
JOE IT'S CHRISTMAAAAAAASSSSSSS AGAIN!
By the way, got lucky too, got a broken 65 inch 2017 QLED TV Samsung für 100$ (only blue screen) but sound worked. There was only a cable loose 🤣

That bike sounds phenomenal!
😮😅 I'd love to get that luck man congrats and keep the content coming
love to watch your work. do you sell them after you've fixed them up ?
Don’t be afraid to try and fix one of those Can-am ATV’s. I’ve seen many 800s go for $1000- $1800 that only need a carb clean and few other odds and ends.
That’s what they all say “needs a carb clean”
That’s one of the best running 125’s you’ve bought
SWEET $5.00 FIX FOR A MODIFIED $700.00 RAPE TAPE, Hey Joe Noticed in the video your shop floor tile needs replacing any chance you'd video the repair of it so I might see how to repair one of my own, just curious, great video today Joe, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU AND YOURS.
I love the early two strokes Suzuki is definitely not my favorite but if I was going to own one that would be the one
Love the dog!! Lol. So, you buy,fix resell? Nice gig.
Nice video. When you started for first time a bolt fell in video in front of rear tire. Not sure where from check and you will see it too. Cool.😮
Me and alot of people have all probably been wondering if you filled the coolant I have been wiggin out the whole time saying out loud coolant coolant, damn it Joe hahaha nice score tho.
No, no one else thought that… just you
Once the tanks back yellow that's one really good looking and riding bike excellent episode Once again thank you
Sounds good and very great buy.
"HEY! Don't you eating my zip tag"! 😂😂😂
keep up the great work.... cheers
