It’s the best feeling in the world after they fire up after something like that! Those couple minutes before when you’re getting your leg all stretched out to start kicking and you’re thinking about all the time and money and work you just put into it just makes my stomach ball right up!!
Awesome seeing her ALIVE at the end ,all fresh and ready for a happy customer 👍
Hi from up in Alaska. I just started to watch your videos. And not many people can do what you can do. You make it easy to follow. And I'm 16 years old. And I am learning to work on small engines. And want to say thank you for the easy to follow along videos.
I like your attitude. great way to be if you wanna be successful!
@@cybermiester thank you. We need more people like you!!
Horrible breaking in conditions but great breaking the machine again conditions. But you absolutely hit a homerun on the rebuilding and sounds so nice to.
Joe, it's great you tear them down and show how to put them together right. I'm sure you are teaching a lot of young motorheads how to do it right, great job.
I’ve used that trick many times cutting a nice deep slit with a dremel to get a screw out. If you suspect loctite a little bit of heat does wonders in loosening it up 👍
I had a feeling that bike was going to be a sweet runner.. that thing sounds SO so good Joe.. great work man.. glad you went the extra mile on it, totally worth it!! Takes me back to the 90s man, feels SO good with those memories!
Next item on your, to buy list, is a farm with a huge barn and 100+ acres of land right out your barndoor to rip and ride all of your machines. Oh! A pond too!
The dream!
Good video once again, one thing that have to be corrected is that the CRANK SEALS are not meant to be oiled, especially from outer edge, they can pop out from the crank case pressure!
We got an 89 XR 250 R in a few weeks ago, rods gone clank city. Ordered new crank, bearings, etc. My assistant hollered at me yesterday, Boss, you need to see this . Crap, what now. The new crank is cracked on the left side right at the counter balance, Wiseco. Everything else is good.Brian really checks that new stuff out good, and I'm glad, he finds issues quite a bit. They're sending out a new today. Great vid Joe.
There's nothing quite like the sound of a well tuned and fresh 2-Stroke! I bet that thing rips. Nice job on the rebuild Joe!
Love your videos - you take the toughest projects. The best way.
Bro u are a beast. All these people dont understand that with your skills, you can buy a non running bike put a couple hundred dollars into a 950 project you got a brand new bike. Good work keep the vids coming.
I just found your channel around 1 week ago, subscribed. You are one helluva mechanic. Great job fixing that YZ!
Back in the day I used to race before I got sponsored I used Wiesco pistons often and always had good luck with the brand. Same with my friends.
Excellent work Joseph! That YZ does sound awesome. The video was (in my opinion) very well done. You explained things well as you went through them. Keep up the great work and I look forward to more of your videos. 👍
I think you could benefit from a bench grinder with a wire wheel on one side. Please keep the videos coming. Pleasure to watch you.
Excellent example of reassembly of this Yamaha engine- just what I do on crank bearing install is I put each case hole for bearing on a light bulb overnight imo this warms. Evenly and gradually to avoid cracking case - I learned this from a senior mechanic when I worked in a Suzuki Kawasaki shop years ago 😅 I currently work for Toyota almost 25 years now - great 👍 video Joe - how's the weather where you are?.I am in northern Minnesota and our ice races canceled yesterday as we could have rode jet skis lol 😅
I am busy working on an 07 RM 250 and I just want to say that your videos are simply inspiring. I have such motivation to get my bike perfect and the knowledge that I am getting from watching your videos is invaluable. Thank you for your contribution Bru, best regards from South Africa!
I'm glad you decided to spend the money and make a video. Satisfaction feels good.
Lets go i was waiting for this video,and i love what you do keep up the good work 👍
I enjoy your videos and thanks. About all I do is check and set valves and replace clutch packs and change oil and filters on my '03 EXC 250 4. Have done serious work in my '85 K100RS (bull gear and sprag clutch) and Stator in my first year R1200GS LC. Did reground crank, rods and rings in a '65 bug in the 80s too.Thanks again.
Wow, a brief glimpse of the fleet in the intro. Great looking cycle, sounds great. Always a learning moment.
You make it look so easy splitting cases and going through a lower end! I have never went past doing an upper end, never had to, but I'm not that confident messing with all of the gears and shift drum! You seem to do it in your videos without having to look at a Service Manual too. That Bike turned out great, sounded awesome!
That bike with the steel frame is sweet. Sounds amazing! Would love to have that bike. They are selling for a premium here in cali and theft is horrible. I keep everything in my house. Say hi to Vinny!!!
Great work. Thats the clearest sounding 2 stroke i think I’ve ever heard
Enjoyed following the rebuild. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations, your work paid off. Sounds great!
JOE,YOU SHOULD ALWAYS PUT GREASE ON THE SPRING SIDE TO KEEP THE SPRING FROM POPPING OUT
Beautiful bike! It sounds fantastic. Magnificent work. Thank you for sharing. Cheers.
Lots of tips in the video, I love it!
Thank you for the content, I enjoy it very much 😊
Another excellent work done and absolutely sharp new rebuilt to your 98 Yamaha ..
I just subscribed to your channel.
I see that you have a lot of knowledge & determination to get engines running again. That is Fantastic.
Keep putting out new videos.👌👍👍
Excellent work bud, sounds great.. I wondered what happened to the broken crank yz.. again from your previous videos.. good thing you greased the gasket instead of gasket maker, so you can take it back off easy just incase... which worked out in favor this time to replace kick start assembly. Smart:) nice that sexy clutch basket cover could be used again. Lol
Your throttle blipping insesantly drove me nuts when it's a fresh rebuild. But i must say fine job young brother . I've been to countless motocross races and your yz 125 sounds and runs like the brand new Yamahas I've been around. Two thumbs up 👍👍
Been waiting on this one to come back!
That machine sounds great!!! Fantastic job young man.
Sometimes putting the money and time into an engine rebuild is is just the most satisfying thing ever! Man I can watch your videos 24/7 I absolutely love it!! Thanks for posting
Love your content. Keep up the good work. You ever think about restorations to work on in addition to what you already do?
Joe,love this build,that thing sounds new brother, so crisp,beautiful!👌👏🏼👍💯
Hard work, great finish. Respekt.
Nice work! It sounds really good. Yeah I’ve tried riding racing bikes in snow and ice, it very dicey. Lol have a good one.
Sounds super crispy. Great work man.
I just replaced my piston too yz125 2003 with same one in this video wiseco makes good pistons this is a good video to learn from
“What a beauty” I admire your appreciation for bikes, kids nowadays just don’t have the will in them to make something like new again. May not be a 10k bike but it’s still something to be thankful for!
Yes they don’t but we aren’t buying a 2013 KTM 250SX for $3,900 nor am I paying $4500 for a 2014 Suzuki RM-Z250 with some mods when I can find another closer by with the essential mods for $3100 and the person states they’re negotiable with the price. People need to quit thinking their decade old bike that’s been rebuilt is worth more than $4k unless it’s been meticulously cared for. It’s been damn near impossible to find a bike that isn’t completely clapped or completely overpriced. Even my guys I play MX bikes with that actually ride freaked tf out when I showed them the very few local bikes for sale and even a friend I went to school with who had many bikes said there’s way better deals out there. I wish I knew how to work on a bike but I can’t even get one to try. I have a budget of 4k and I’m about to look at a 2014 Suzuki that’s been rebuilt, the owner got it a year ago and barely rides it. He purchased it from a dealer it doesn’t have a title which I don’t care but I know nothing about it’s owner(s) and what’s been done to the engine. So it’s a risk at the end of the day.
I wish I had the tools to do this stuff. Looks like fun. Great videos dude. I have a 2004 Honda crf 450r. And the valves always need to be shimmed. After about 12 hrs or ride time. I really need to Gain the confidence to do it myself. So I quit spending so much money lol.
I miss the years of working on the race bikes in preparation for the hillclimbs. Awesome bike, good job!
My favorite bike.. light and nimble.. great work!! That’s a keeper…super kleeaaaann!
Great video, but you should not use the impact to tighten bolts on the engine unless you torqued it down
It sure seems that buying a motorcycle from Joe is always a good investment, Joe you are the best motorcycle mechanic.. nice collection.. Awesome to travel on two wheel. Keep safe.
Great job on that, sounds awesome!!
I’m a motocross Dad/ Vet/half ass mechanic…. Live your videos. Couple things, run or start your bikes outside or at least get some ventilation in the garage ( hate to see you or your pup getting sick). Power wash the hell out of the bikes before breaking them down. Good stuff keep up the good work
He has 2 garage doors and his garage is massive probably also heated and air conditioned the dog is fine
Great vid! Still the undisputed master of shifting from first to neutral 😅🥰
8:04 When you lived in your old house you used to put the seal with the spring facing in not out, that's what you did with the CR80 and you said that's the correct way.
This bike sounds better than any other bike you've worked on.
Watch your thumb around that torch! Love your videos, watch them all even though I'm between bikes..thanks. Where's the wife, sweet lady, miss her;).
That rear shock is toast
Great job as usual sounds awesome..
Breaks in rotating shafts like that are usually due to the shaft not running true enough, (run out). The slight imbalance (in alignment, not weight) actually causes the shaft to bend ever so slightly every rotation, at the edge of a bearing. The result after enough cycles, is a pretty clean break like that.
You will learn about things like and and so much more in your mechanical engineering studies. Fluid dynamics is great stuff to know too IMO. I never did study that.
Or, you can see how much time it takes you to figure stuff out yourself. :) Doug in Michigan
Nice job joe well done good engine rebuild sounds sweet
Nice looking and sounding little bike ... I dig the blue and white ...
I've only ever seen a crank like that in a 1050 Triumph, it ended up putting a rod out through the casing 😢
Awesome bike, sounds great Joe. Another super good job man....thumbs up from me man...
I'm curious why you don't use gasket cinch on the cases?. Tatro machine uses that on the gasket and on the case halves, he says it won't contaminate the engine if some if it gets inside....it just disintegrates..
The beautiful sound of a strong 2 stroke ..!
Very nice job, sounds right and tight
Excellent video as always
Sounds smooth. Good job.
Hardened steel will break when dropped or hit with a hammer hard. Sucks, way it goes.great vid J. Great job.
Very inspiring. Makes me want to buy a crappy dirt bike and overhaul it!
Good job Joe.
Looks like you had to take care of a lot of things on this bike….. but it sounds like its dialed in perfectly..
Sounds really good…. And looks really good too..
Seems like a keeper…
Bravo, great bike with a little tinkering. Fun little ride in the winter, dirt bike or snow bike? Keep up the hard work
Was that Jade's toothbrush you were cleaning with? Vinny is angry, hoping repairs didn't come out of Gravy Train budget
I watch your videos all the time
It sounds amazing you did another great job
sounding so crisp, thats the sound we love
A great channel I look forward too your videos
Love the videos, keep it up man!
Love the vids, can you tell us what oil and tools you are using in the videos?
Great 👍 idea 💡 to grease the oil seals including spring so they don't pop apart if you need to tap them in.
You. Sure. Are. An. Engine. Doctor. !! Watching. You work. Is. Facsinating. ,!!!!
Great Job man
Great looking bike Joe. Long live the 2 strokes.
Great job !!!! Sounds sweeet.😊
nice effort there, it seems very lean on the pilot circuit
Love the YZ125. Sounds sweet mate.👍
You have nice videos. Thanks.
Great video as always
What is name of the sealant for the case halves, i enjoy watching how you do the work on so many engines, i am about to take the challenge of replacing the crank on a cr80, great channel you have going on, been with you over 5+years now , I have watched you grow and become a great bike mechanic that will take on what ever engine job that is in front of you, my hat is off for you,
Saying hello from Beloit, WI
Wow great job those are great bikes.
Having the suspension set makes a huge difference, we had a 1999 YZ125 and riding over really rough trails you couldn't feel anything it was the best riding 125 I ever owned sadly it got stolen from my driveway but we had cameras and we found the guys who stole it one of the guys mother paid for the bike, because they tore it up
Great job joe!!👍🏻🇺🇸
Well u got that bag of old nails up n running and no horrendous bodges for next owner to find. Ive been through all this many times. Some times you think how did i miss this when buying it but ur not alone on this one
Feels good when you do a great job
I really do love your work. Keeps me alive and interested. Still don’t understand why you don’t invest in a parts cleaner, but I guess you have your reasons. Would make life a bit easier. Keep on truckin’.
I can’t think of one single reason why someone would take the time to tear down an engine and rebuild it and not clean it to me it looks half done but we keep watching and he keeps making money off it so why would he change it now

Joes builds don't have to last long, only till the quick test at the end of the video if there is a pile of abrasives from dirt in the works he don't care about longevity just get it running to get views. Most of his projects will end up parked in a field with the other failed projects
OK guys, calm it down. I’m sure at some point that it will become clear, and Joe will do his thing. I guess that we’re all impressed with his diagnosis, sourcing and rebuilding skills to date, but it’s probably also the case that a personality of this nature doesn’t take kindly to gentlemanly advice. It’s all part of growing up.
@@papachis9535 yeah you said it, his generation think they know it all, he doesn't even take advice well, even from old school guys, he's very stubborn I've noticed, refuses to change anything. But to answer the question about why he doesn't have a parts washer, not even a bucket with some gasoline in it, who knows, maybe it's because he's lazy, doesn't care, or is to tight to spend the money.
Good job as usual
Like your channel do you sell any of your fixed machines?
Air/fuel mix sounds perfect for that elevation.
Love the vids man do you sell the bikes you rebuild and if so it would be nice to do a vid on them cost rebuild and sell keep them coming Ireland here
Joe, if you’re going to reuse copper sealing washers, to be effective, they need to be sanded/polished smooth, and re-annealed by heating with a torch until glowing red and allowed to cool. Aluminum sealing washers cannot be re-annealed.
Calm down. I know what you say does have merit, but is it needed for a screw washer or it will fail? If the surfaces are not damaged, (2 pretty soft materials) and you clean them, they are usually fine and don't leak. If they do, just get new washers. I have never had to do that.
@@EarthSurferUSA It’s always good to replace copper sealing washers, but re-annealing returns the molecular structure to what it was before being crushed, and restores its sealing ability. Why you have to say calm down, I don’t understand. It was just helpful advice for him and others in a predicament without having new washers.
