Good call on making it look stock again!
Stock is the way to go!
@Syver Bertilrud why would he do that and lose out on profit, it’s not like he’s making enough off CZcams to cover that cost, don’t be stupid.
@Lennon Tobias stfu
Nothing sells better than OEM
@Syver Bertilrud why do people on CZcams always want stuff for free? how many of your local bike shops do bike giveaways?
I'm glad your busy, but don't rush to post content. We love the quality of these videos and we want it to get better!
I appreciate it. I will make sure to put out quality content over quantity!
@@MattBerger02 I second this, quality content is way better!
Damn bro you keep your profit margins tight, I’ve been flipping bikes, quads, sidexside, pretty much everything for the last 4 years. The lowest profit I’ve made is $1500 I picked up a 2015 ktm sxf 250 with 84 hrs for $2600 and sold it a week later for $6500
@@chriscross3924 dm me on insta lol i have the bill of sale to prove it along with chat logs prior to pickup
@@Dylan3smith_all depends on market
Props to you man, 43 bucks an hr on a side gig is pretty dang good. Quality video. Subbed!
Appreciate the sub 👍
never reuse or bent back a bent bar, it breaks when you pull hard or land hard, i learned that the hard way with a slip bar in my hands with the front wheel in the air..
You've got a good point! Never thought about that. I'll make sure to always purchase new bars if they are bent. Thanks!
you can easily bend it back with heat fabricators do it all the time
@@2stroketyson79 Not really, as then you effect the temper of the metal. The “T6” that you see at the end of 6061 or 7075 refers to the heat treatment used to strengthen the metal. If you heat up the bar to the point where it will now bend, it will not be as strong as it should be.
Just came across your channel you deserve a grand earner on every bike u sell cos u do a perfect restoration on them and that way who buys it gets a great bike not 1 that lasts an hour respect from south wales good luck with future vids and bikes.
Dude, your content is so inspiring. It shows that you don’t need to burn a hole in your pocket to fix up a bike and enjoy it, financially or personally! I have a ‘04 Honda Cr 125 and it has some problems, motorwork, brake work, stuff like that and your content makes me motivated to fix it up and rip it up!! ✌️🤘
Glad to hear! Thank you and goodluck on the CR125! 👍
Las aletas del tanque son del 2005 ?? El kit de. Calcos de q modelo más nuevo le va ?
words cant describe how much this guy needs more subs
Thank you!!! Just gotta keep putting out content for you guys and the subs will come!
@@MattBerger02 im sure you will. after the pandemic is over I would love to see a collar with you and @Cameron niemela
I flip em by wheeling with out covering the back brake.
😂😂
just did that the other day 😂
@@jakebrapps2141 yes it's a hard habit to break.
Keep up the goood content love your vids as soon as i got the notification i clicked i have watched all your builds over and over and i still cant get enough
Glad you like them thank you!
the quality of these videos you share with us is amazing ive watched you put that rm together like 5 times! i got the same year model and am getting ti nitride fork coatings keep up this great content bro 👍
Awesome! I really appreciate that, thank you so much!
I dig your shakedown! We always hit plastics, bars, grips, seat covers and graphics to set it off. Its insane the amount of neglect all these used bikes endure. A little elbow grease and love can really revive a bike and give it another shot at life. Before we beat the living piss out of them I guess..
First video I’ve watched from you and wow... you have talent!
Thank you!!!
Really like your work and love to watch these videos! Keep going! I‘m waiting for the next one. Greetings from Germany! ;)
Germany! Awesome! I appreciate the kind words. Thank you! 👍
Love your vids man, keep it up. You should have millions of subs
Great job! One easy tip... Run a sharpie around the black rims where the tires rub and it makes them look new.
Nice clean stock look and making sure every little plug screw ect is in it nice job bro!!
I love your videos so much it motivates me wanting to flip bikes!
You should!
Thank u for showing this !!!! it helped me so much to build my own bike. i started with just an frame :D
Noticed the Pro Action suspension stickers on the bike, got my attention. Very popular in my area, then I noticed the Akron Zips sweatshirt and it hit me. Your probably from Akron. Great video from a new sub in Canton Ohio.
Great job on that bike and excellent video as always. Keep up the good work, Matt. 👍
Appreciate the kind words. Thanks Ryan!
Great video! Your definitely under rated, deserve way more subs!
I appreciate that!
I really enjoy your videos, keep it up 🙌
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Awesome! Thank you! 👍
This is so satisfying to watch
this is the first video ive watched from you, as a new guy getting into the dirt bike community, I learned a lot from seeing how you flipped this bike! it will help me going forward with my flipping adventures. id love to learn more about your aluminum cleaning process, It looked like you were using scotch-brite and some sort of spray. id love to learn more. definitely subscribed
Welcome aboard! Yep scotchbrite and a 50/50 mix of Simple Green and water!
Great video. Broke down all the hours and numbers like I hoped you would. Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
Awesome job man, loving your channel!
Thanks Cam!
These builds are just getting better 👍
I am learning as I go and want to keep making better and better content!
Subbed after watching this vid. Nice work bro
Very nice! Love the new graphics. Looks way better then before
Thank you!
Nice. You did a good deed, young man. Keep up the good work, thanks for sharing!
Appreciate the kind words. Thanks!
Good work!
You are gonna be a big youtuber one day
Love the YZ's, great buy, great work, great sale! Top job
Appreciate it!
Keep it up man, hope to see some more content!
This helped a lot cause im trying to find a YZ125 for a decent deal, gotta have a cool looking bike!
Glad to hear!
Awesome work man the bike looks great. I just finished bringing a CRF100 back from the grave. It needed a full engine & transmission build and a bunch of small things. I definitely want to get a YZ125 soon.
Thank you. The YZ 125's are amazing bikes!
The videos are really good bro wish I saw your channel earlier keep it up
videos are awesome love watching them. keep it up!
Thanks a ton!
Fantastic bro really appreciate your effort top job mate 👍💯👊👊👊
Sick man the bike turned out looking great
Great videos. Id do the following as well before selling any bike. 1. Check the compression 2. Make sure the fork oil is good 3. Clean the carburetor. Often times i see bikes with really old oil in the forks. Most people never service their forks
Thank you. Those 3 things are great to always check!
I love these vids man keep up the great work I am currently doing up a xr80r myself to flip
Love xr80s! Thank you and good luck!
Thats where i started, a 2001 xr80 i believe. Sold it for 1200 and bought a broken 2007 crf250r. Fixed it for 100 bucks and traded for a built 2001 yz125, with a brand new engine. Traded that yz125 for a 2007 yfz450 and now im havin fun. Only got like 1400 into this
Really good video bro, bike looks sweet 🔥👍
Thank you so much!!!
Can’t wait to see what you do with the cr!
Soon!
Dude will "Simple Green" the world clean. Banger video!!!!!
😂😂 thank you!
Very Good Video! liked and subscribed! Very impressive on the rebuild!
Thank you Ryker 👍
You just got a new subscriber! Looks so sick! I did the Polisport 2019 Front end restyle as well on my 03 yz250.
🤘 thanks Caleb! The 2019 front end looks so good
Nice video Matt! Im about to buy a yamaha yz85 soon, as my first dirtbike!:)
Thank you and that's awesome! 👍
Great Video! I am thinking about flipping a CR125. Keep it up!
Thank you and heck yeah go for it! 🤘
Just found your channel and subbed man. I want to get into this on the side. I love wrenching on bikes!
It's a good side hustle! Especially when it's something you enjoy to do
Great video keep up the great job !!
I’m definitely tryna buy one of the bikes he flips he does a nice job making them look and probably ride to it’s full potential I’m impressed
Thanks Dalton!
I love the videos man keep them coming
👍 appreciate it
Favorite build channel
Thanks Chalupa. Boost that algorithm 😂
I love your taste in parts bro I love the stock look good ok you love the vids 💪🏽
I appreciate it Anthony!
you got my sub! thanks for the content on what i enjoy :)
👍👍👍 thanks
Great video, i think of doing this as hobby, have some mechanical skills and experience on 2 strokes would be fun to flip them
Keep up the work!
You should!
Best Chanel ever
Bro! Excelente trabajo👏🏻Saludos desde Ecuador
Thank you! 👍
Nice one the bike looks mint with the factory style pipe💯
Thanks ✌
That’s a nice clean rebuild 👍 nice job
👍 thank you!
Ahhh yes this is therapeutic , thank you good sir. 😎
Look how shiny the covers are😍
First time ever i like a video , subscribe and commented . Thanks for sharing numbers . I’m always curious about the numbers .
Glad that you like the content! I will always try to be as transparent as possible!
Really nice content! Keep going!
Thanks a lot!
One of the most under rated CZcamsrs on this app
I appreciate that Tyler! I'm trying to grow, so every view, comment, and like is helping!
Man you gave me inspo to do up my 04 ktm 125. Stopped it to the frame on Saturday. Now going to sandblast the frame and respray it
Dude that's awesome! Goodluck!
I put the restyle kit on my 05 and the same graphics it really adds a lot of value
Oh forsure! Taking the time to clean and maintenance a bike before selling it is one of the easiest ways to make a extra few hundred dollars
this guy is definitely going to blow up soon, keep it up man :)
That's the plan! Just gotta keep making better and better content!
Is this a threat?
@@timbates3050 i mean in like subs. If you dident get that
Very high quality content!!
Much appreciated!
Really nice result
Thank you!
That Walmart flannel haha I got the same one bro, got all the colors actually😂 but nice vid man, I got a mint 2012 yz125 with the 15 front end restyle kit and a fmf fatty with the shorty. Looks brand new
from lemon to lemonade its beautiful
I was looking at this bike on marketplace for awhile but ended up getting a 2019 250, bike looks great though man!
Haha awesome!
Tremendo video y quedo hermosa la moto, saludos desde argentina ojalá algún día pueda tener un yz de mis sueños
Nothing like willing and Dealing keep it going 💯💪🏿
Always!
Love these videos!!
Thanks Gareth!! 🤟

What are you using to clean the frame and stuff bc it looks like it works great?
Another banger video !!!
👍👍👍👍
Big fan of oem styling as well!
Right on!
Perfect video, great job 👍
Thank you! 👍
I like the old graphics better. Still nice job. That's a clean bike! 🙂
I've subscribed mate and wanna spend a couple of hours on my bike we ain't selling it tho but damn u can get them to scrub up nice well done
Thank you and good luck with your bike!!
love your video's bro, with the time spent added on, you probably made like ~$200 profit if that, depending on how much you value your time at. it's alright flipping as a hobby but aside from that it's more often than not a money sink rather than a gain.
Not sure if im more impressed by the nice restoration or the fact that you sold an 05 yz125 for 3200. Good stuff 👍👍
Haha right?!? Lol thanks!
nice ,if you haven't any video on installing lighting kit or fans please make one ;)
:) :)
Beautiful restore amazing
Thank you Christian!
Bike looks mega good job 👏
🤘🤘🤘 thanks!
If you invest in a TIG welder, you can cut out the dented section, hammer the dents out, then tig weld it back together. It'd be worth it if you plan on doing a lot of these bikes since virtually every old dirt bike has a dented pipe.
Matt… I see your a Zip fan.
Lol
Our son played B Ball for coach D.
Your channel is cool.

Go zips! Haha that's awesome. Thank you for the support!

Matt Like The Bikes You Flip!
👍👍👍👍
YZ 2 strokes sell themselves. Good pick! Great year.
Yes they do! Thanks!
great content man
Thank you!
that front sprocket was a clam!
Right?!? 😂
I like the blue about it my ya has the old kit on it I think similar to urs
Love our videos keep it up
Would you be able to post a full video of how to rebuild the top end on a 2 stroke from start to finish ?
Great job buddy it came out beatiful. Where you from im looking for a 2 stroke Yz or Cr.
Fill the dented section of the pipe with water and put it in the freezer, may take doin it 10 times but will push the dents out to perfection!
Amazing Job
Great vid! Wanna do this to my 2002 yz125
Awesome do it!
Yamaha has hands down the best sounding 2 strokes. Just switched to a KTM 250sx but I still miss the sound of my yz125
