Joe, been watching you for 2 or 3 years now and I’ve only commented a couple of times. But you have extraordinary patience and are also very even tempered! I have noticed (since yt started rotating comments) just how stupid and rude many of the comments are, very poor! I am a retired Navy Captain, you are a good young man!
Spot on sir.

I don’t question his character or patience, just his techniques!
@@jamesweaver9636U can give your inputs but at the end of the day it's up to him if he listens,I hate him revving cold bikes but at the same time it's his so he can do what he wants
Agreed, Joe comes across as a really good guy. He has a great voice and sounds exactly like my best friend from years ago, who was an excellent mechanic. We used to ride and wrench our bikes together, and I'd get on his case for doing the same ignoring-good-ventilation stuff I see Joe doing in his videos...and died from cancer just before the pandemic. Hearing Joe speaking almost brings tears to my eyes at times, I still miss him most every day and every time I watch one of Joe's videos. So I can't help but nag Joe about it.
I don't even ride, but once I found this channel, I've been watching for like a week straight. I can say I'm pretty sure I know how to rebuild any dirt bike now😅
Agreed. This is why I will always stick to 2 strokes. It’s pretty simple and straightforward, and actually fun to work on. Most 4 strokes are a big pain to work on, and you really get frustrated at them. Plus, I can’t give up the power valve. It feels like a nitrous shot once it kicks in. Gives you an adrenaline rush every time!
In addition to your mechanical abilities, I believe your patience and calm demeanor are two huge assets.
Patience is key to being a good mechanic. Without it, you're just screwing yourself by unnecessarily breaking stuff.
Aaprt from not warming the bikes up before revving the nuts off them..
@gwl78 hahah, the torture reaches all corners of the comments
What abilities?? Where?
You can't beat reving the nuts out of a fresh top end rebuild
...and free revving at that...icing on the cake
He does it every time without fail, he never warms them up before revving the nuts off them. It really baffles me.
@@gwl78 break them in how you intend on using them. not rocket science, done it with all my bikes no issues.
He is a hack
Heat cycles man, will run leaner from the cold probably not the best conditions to rev it up straight out the box .. but hey each to their own and open that door up before you fire up bro cracks me up every time 😂 another good vid though 🤘
90's 2 stroke engines always sound like pure music 🎶
They sound like an angry hornet. Lol. I'm a 4 stroke guy. But the 2 strokes sure can move 👍
@@robinbrowne5419 I couldn't believe the CR500 has got more torque than a modern 450 4 stroke.
@@bobdillon1138 Every KX500 or CR500 I ever saw had a broken rear fender from flipping over.
@@bobdillon1138 But that's only a 125.
There’s nothing better than the smell of 2-stroke in the morning. I think you probably have the cleanest pickup truck bed in all of Wisconsin.
You should give us a shop tour; a basic overview of your setup there, what tools you find are most useful and maybe a few hacks you've unlocked over the years you've been doing this.
I second this
Glad to see some of the projects getting finished up!!
Wow a basically honest seller. That's a rare thing for your videos. Nice to see this getting back out there love Suzuki.
Something so good about a new top end and breaking it in, great stuff again.
I enjoy all of this kids videos but he's literally the only bike mechanic I know of that can do a full rebuild on an engine and it looks dirtier after he's done than before he touched it! 😂
Good afternoon love to see you completing the build
To be as HALF full of energy as Vinny is.. what a great dog! What a great friend!
Love the full teardown and rebuild video….bringing a classic 2 stroke back to glory.
She’s a little ripper! That snow was a real test and she came through - obviously been built by an expert! 👍❤️😎✅
Great vid bud!! Warms the heart seeing another survivor Suzuki 2 stroke.
Can't get enough of this channel. It's great to watch, always!
Another great rebuild, Joe👍🏻... BUT, the best part of this vid was watching Vinnie chasing snowballs!! 🤣 Nobody on CZcams has more juice than Vinnie!!!
Babe wake up new 2 vintage video
I'd forgotten just how good these little ripper's are, nice job
Your dog always brings a smile to my face.
He's a good dog
Great job! Really cool snow riding , the sound of a 2 stroke is music to my ears. A long time ago I had a Suzuki PE175, I miss that bike, your videos bring back fond memories, thanks!
You do a great job of explaining everything. Long videos are easy to watch because of the information but also because of the lack of ego to hear yourself talk which you do NOT do but it turns people off so kudos brother.
Ol' Joe loves his dirt bikes. Good looking cycle, now let's tear it apart. Keep up the hard work. 😭April snow here in Minnesota also. Who thought Ol' Joe was going to get smoked by the tanker truck pulling out onto the street.
I always enjoyed riding in the snow. Even when I fell, I never got hurt. We would make a flat track in a field like you have and race around for hours. Great job.
This guy helped me gain a lot of knowledge on these bikes I just bought a Yamaha blaster yfs200 and he’s videos very much helped thank you 🙏👍
BadAss upload, Joe. somehow you showed & told more, rebuilt a rippin RM, chored, threw mixed-fuel-scented snowballs to 2Vini & stayed alive in an mx race bike snow romp rip. nice work & happy Spring ‘24, Dude
a rare 3 kicker....i was getting used to the "fired right up" 150 kickers
I watch your videos all the time I am amazed at how smart you are with these engines. You have great patience. Do you sell these after you fix them?
Love the sound of the 2 strokes! I bought a cr250 Honda brand new in 2000, it was an absolute scary animal of a bike.
Super stoked on this bike! It sounds so crispy! No better sound than a two stroke ripping🤙
I always do a thin layer of grease around the filter where it meets the airbox. I also add a coating of 2 stroke oil on the powervalve parts when re-assembling.
Love 2 stroke MX bikes. Nice work. 👍
I've never been a fan of Rm's. But, after watching you rebuild it, Firing it up(sounds super tight and crispy) and giving it a rinse. I'd definitely buy that bike. Excellent work
3 inches of heavy, wet snow in Granville MA.Wed.
Great looking bike, Joe.
What a GREAT DoG!
Again, super good job on diagnosis and repair....thank you for all the effort you put in to make this video...
I had that same year suzuki...was a 250 but was one of my all time favorites. That one is pristine!!! Great video once again!
I fully rebuilt a 99 rm250 a year or two ago. Really wish I didn't sell it but I'm 5'6 and it was ALOT of bike for me haha
Joe, as a general rule it's considered best practise to initially fill a rebuilt engine
with just water. After you know the build is good, drain and refill with appropriate
coolant/antifreeze/water level. Saves wasting lots of expensive coolant mix.
Love your channel BTW.
Thanks for putting these videos out there, I find them very interesting. I was curious about that lift stand you use for your bike, It looks useful just wondering what brand it was. Have a good day sir.
Been watching you for a long time,love your channel. I look forward too your videos.
Glad im finally seeing you wash your parts joe!
BRAVO, your knowledge and patience are amazing. Sounds great, nice day for a ride
lmao
Another awesome video, love the 2 stroke videos. Grew up on early 90's Honda CR's really miss my 250.
I agree he is of good character. 👍
I just know he should clean before during and after.
You can hear the grate of the grit & grime, on reassemble.
I just think why go through all that trouble.
Plus the running in time is none existent.
Thanks for the upload. Your channel is the best for hands a hands on learning “how to”. Appreciate the effort u put into sharing.
I try to watch your stuff man cause like my self I’m a motorcycle mechanic but some thing you do just blows me away. I think you need to read break in procedures for two strokes for starters.
just sold my 2002 RM250 that was in a crate all this time and sold it for 12 grand..luv ur videos
Couple suggestions. There are a few companies that Replate cylinders. Replate being new Nikasil Plating. These cylinders are not steel bores. They are Nikasil Chrome
plated. The service typically cost under $300 including shipping to and from. Power Seal and Millennium are two companies that come to mind. Your cylinder comes back looking brand new and the bore is 100% to spec. Much better than an expensive used cylinder.
Second your not supposed to hone Nikasil Cylinders as the coating it very thin and hard and most standard hones won’t created usable cross hatch. A Diamond hone is needed.
Some other advise I would give since I’m assuming your flipping these bikes is that I would use Namura Piston Kits. They are very good pistons, come with or without gaskets and are priced very good.
On this build you probably would have saved $200
Man you seem knowledgeable on cylinders but why would he do the cylinder the right way just to put a shit piston in it?. Joe's reputation is worth more than the savings between Namura and Pro-X, he doesn't have to be scummy to make a profit. Don't get me wrong, I buy chinese parts but not for my big bikes. My PW80 that I use for tool/beer runs (shed to garage, not to the store) has a namura cylinder and piston on it and it already looks like shit with about 6 hours on it. That bike makes like 4.79hp, I'd hate to see what a Namura does in a real engine.
The cylinder was shot dude pieces missing out of it at the edge. He may have been able to re sleeve it but re coating what was there is just a waste of time.
@@staygold902 It's not a sleeve It's plating
It's not nickel chrome plating It's nickel carbide composite It's the only thing on the planet that's harder than it is diamond that's why they go through so many rebuilds before replating is needed
@@baitmaster8706I’m sorry but don’t put proX in the same sentence as namura lol proX are legit and backed by even some former pros. I’ve been running a proX top end kit for a bit now on my 2000 rm250 . No a class racer but also no slouch lugging around foulin plugs . Everything else I agree with what you said . But proX is legit,
Dr. Weber saves another! Annnnnnnnd, Vinnie is such a happy individual! Love how Vin gets all excited and goofs off.
Curious if the ring has one side tapered...
That honer is only for steel sleeves. With Nikasil (ceramic lined) -it will just wreck the surface and expose the soft aluminum.
Pretty sure Joe knows what he's doing by now....
@@1965l88 Anybody who actually knows what they're doing can see he still has a lot to learn. Which is fine, but he often ignores good advice in the comments.
He’s talked about that in multiple videos he already knows
I always try to learn something new each video. That and count how many unsuccessful kicks before it starts.
I like how you are you and not trying to be something your not. Ordinary people do Extraordinary things.
hi i am paul from the uk, your vids are amazing your one hell of a mehcanic keep em comming but can i ask, a while ago you did a vid on a goldwing, and many other bikes do you ever sell them on, if so how much did the goldwing go for just curious as in england even bad ish ones are going for silly money thanks guy keep up the good work
Great video old school 2 stroke power and simple rebuild why would anyone want the modern 4 stroke junk.
Sounds great out there, awesome echo!! Love those bikes.
Joe, you're one tough bastard - riding a bike in that weather you have to be! Thanks for posting and a pat for Vinnie please.
Brilliant video Joe watching from Edinburgh Scotland UK 🇬🇧 👏 👍
Always knowledgeable and helpful I always enjoy your videos very kool to see you grow as you did very proud of your bro.
You motivated me to get 2 bikes already and am fixing up a 85 honda 200 trike
I really like this one. Working on rebuilding a 2000 rm125 right now. I just wished I could afford another cylinder for mine. She's toasted. Great vid. I enjoyed it. It would be nice to see it rip without the snow.😂
Send it away and get it repaired!
@taylormarsh7854 yeah I talked with mellinium technologies about fixing it up for a 134cc kit. I think it will run me somewhere around $600 with the piston kit. I just got to wait for my bonus to hit first...lol.
Awesome ride and rebuild! If I lived in your area I would be buying this bike from you. I have too many now as it is though.
Parts washer - lol! Yeah those RM's parts are getting hard to come by. Good video - keep it up.
Dude, snow riding, you are my Hero!
Joe, you do good work.
You can tell you are married to a teacher. Haha
You choose your picks well.
Us GenX guys really like seeing these bikes and machines of our time.
The car wash place must really love your business! You almost always stop by there to wash your equipment after a ride at the land.
I'm learning ton from you! Keep it up. Also how long until your house on the 50 acres is complete?
It's a runner, amazing!!! Never a doubt.
love those 2 stroke dirt bike sound! wake up some memories from my youth
Another fantastic job my friend. Congrats
Its about that time for us to see a new shop/barn build for all the toys you have.
What a beautiful bike. Great build. What does that power valve rod connect to? Is it throttle position? Do they restrict the exhaust for some reason?
Not a bike guy but love watching the channel. Shaun from Ireland
Great job as usual, I feel sorry about your neighbors. These bikes really loud.
Great job man bike sounds great live the sound of a125 2smoker
You should definitely look into a parts washer, harbor freight has a pretty nice one for $130. I'm actually thinking about picking one up myself soon. Nonetheless keep up the good work!
I suggested the same. I loved mine, plus it was a helluva lot easier than dealing with a bucket of soapy water with your knees grinding into concrete.
Agreed, it would be a nice shop upgrade, and then Joe will get even more comments berating him every time he doesn't use it! 😂
Been suggesting that for Years Now?! 😁
Love your content and in depth repairs.
A more informative video. I’m not sure if you ever mentioned. What do you do with all the bikes and quads you have rebuilt?
Hello,
To me you seem to be a nice, warm hearted guy. What troubles me is that I get the impression that you get fariytales from sellers and endning up paying to much for the bikes.
I would have taken along some basic tools/equipment to the seller. When seller gives a vital statement - I would have asked the seller if I could see for myself. If the seller says no, then I would walk away or offer a much lower amount of money. If the seller agrees and I see that the seller is wrong - I have a way to get it for the right price.
Some people feel bad about not telling the truth. Some people just feels great getting away with a lie that the buyer do not spot. But you seem to know all this.
I get a kick out of watching your work on CZcams. Keep up the handy work.😊
he has to have new bikes for content though, doesn't matter if he pays a little too much. Think harder pal.
Thanx, for a "kind" of remark.😮
Good job.
I personally would worry more about how the jetting is for the warm weather it will likely be ridden in, not how it runs when its cold out.
Man, I miss riding in the snow like that! I moved from the Midwest 20 years ago ... no snow in Phoenix, AZ
A+ content man good job ⚙️💪🏽
Vinny's hair is starting to grow back. 😊 hope he's staying warm with all that snow. since watching, I have acquired many new tools to use. Grandma who Love her tools. Just picked up that craftsman screwdriver with the quick change feature you used in this video. Did you bruise your left hand or was that the camera lighting? That bike looks nice. 2smoker
I would love to plow that. Cool HONDA😊. So Cal has nice weather.
Nice Joe... Sounds really solid for a UKI...🏁🏁🏁
Oh Vinny gets excited when you fire em up😁
Still getting snow in Ontario 🇨🇦🤟
Yup its crazy here we started getting snow the first day of spring
Same here in Western Massachusetts. First sleet then snow. My son who just purchased himself a 1989 Pontiac Trans Am GTA had to park it and go back to his Subaru POS.
Great vid. Question, should you not have a run in period before giving the it the beans? I have had a few 2-Stoke road bikes back in the day ie a RD350 YPVS, NS400r and TDR250 and took it pretty easy for the first few hundred miles (They were brand new).
When that nut dropped at 19:00 :o I usually apply a little grease to the gaskets just incase I need to remove them at a later date, prevents ripping them but doesn't affect the seal.Sounds nice and fruity :D Nice job as always
I would love to know if and where he sells his stuff!
Thanks for the fuel shut off tip
Vinny loves the snow 🐶
Hey man, i watch all your videos. I started back when I lost spark in my Dr650 abd thanks to you shes back uo and running. I bought 2 more bikes and a 3 wheeler and now im consistantly watching your videos for education. I just want to say thanks for everything youve taught me. I love your work man.
Vinny is a Rockstar!
Runs good. Nice job.
Thank God! That the cylinder nut didn't fall all the way down into the crank case! Below the crank!!!!
It never hurts to have a little extra oil in the gas, especially on break in. I always used to mix my gas a bit rich on the oil and never had any trouble with fouling out plugs. A little smoke is better than replacing the top end all the time 👍
The powerband on the 99s can be adjusted by the screw on the left side of the cylinder I go 1 1/4 with it you can go a little more or a little less than 1 turn you can feel the difference when you hit the powerband its all a preference! ive had this bike since 99 & its still in my garage in 2024
Its not a hone and i wont do anything besides cleaning cylinder wall , honning process means get a proper clearnace between cyl and piston by measuring them both with proper tools ~ not calipers, it also means …achive nice round and square cylinder walls and crosshatch ,what you do is just wild guess . Good video and i enjoy it
This was me as a teen after school or on weekends. We use to ride on ice too. Almost all dirt bikes back then were 2 strokes. LOL good time.
Sounds great. I always mix my gas 40:1 initially it was because 4 gallons to 16 oz Jug of HP2 Honda Synthetic 2 stroke oil which... is my favorite by far. I also only use VP 110 racing fuel that I can get at the pump at a gas station near me. is just that easy. But then I talked to a guy at the local shop and he told me that counter to what you would think, running 32:1 actually runs at a slightly higher temp, because the additional friction by the viscosity of the gas being a little bit thicker, I don't know if that is true, but also although I like the 2 stroke smoke, I don't like how much a bike smokes with 32:1
Vinnie sure loves those quads ha ha
No parts cleaner solvent tank even I have one why don't you got one
I wondered same thing, with all the rebuilds he does 😅
Dude drives me nuts that he doesn't clean engine parts. Wipes them off with a paper towel and calls it good. 😂
Lift would help too.
He's a chancer it's all set up for him He never gets them running properly, all he lusts for more subscribers and more views. A bit like Trump.
