Love how everything you find is “awesome” no drain plug, “awesome”, oatmeal in the pump, “awesome” great positivity and great way to not get burned out, keep it up 👍🏻
haha , i was editing this vid and laughed at how many times i said " awesome " lol....thank you SB , have great weekend .
Ppp
This dude can fix anything!! One of the best restorations I’ve seen and were only half way through it!
haha, we shall see ! thank you for the kind words Casey
When i was growing up, a kid in my neighborhood came home one day with a brand new 1985 CR 125. Awesome bike.!!!
Looking forward to following this build.
Did you have a bike at the time ? I hope he let you ride it ! I remember when my friend's Dad brought home a 78 XL 75 for him ...thank you , this build is getting expensive haha :)
Cool build! My last race bike (before my home mortgage, kids expenses, divorces, etc) was a 1985 Honda CR125. Recently, recently, in the attic looking for a leak, I came across an unused set of JT Racing pads, boots, etc. The heat of 35 years in the attic took it's toll. I stored all that stuff with hopes of one day racing again. Fond memories.
Jason I enjoyed watching you work on your dirt bike, even though I know nothing about them! It also made me think of warm weather inspite of the snow that's coming today and the cold weather!!!
Hi Dave , thank you , yes winter might have finally arrived but it was a deep run into January for us anyway . Have a great weekend my friend
Just something about "tear down" video's on old bikes I just love to watch. Find it so relaxing and enjoyable. I always learn a little bit here and there too. Keep up the great work. I still need to watch your part 3. :-)
Thanks for the episode, Jason. Fun to see the teardown. I did't know Honda ever made 2 strokes! The spare bike is a stroke of good luck. Anxious to see master mechanic Josh back on the job.
thank you Steve , have a great weekend
Honda CRs from the 1980s resonate with my soul... BRAAAAAP! Following
👍! thank you
Racin Jason turning the wrenches. Had to laugh, I raced a 83 CR250 and my old AMA # was 686 in district 5 back in the 83/84 seasons. Good times for sure.
haha, Nice👍, great times I bet
I bought a new CR125 in 1985 after I out grew and cracked the frame in half of my 1983 XR100. Can’t wait to hear this one run.
wow , I can't imagine coming home from the Honda dealer with a new 1985 CR125R ...some great times I bet . I had to wait 5 more years for my 1989 Cagiva WMX250 for my 1st bike , guy was selling it as he bought a new 1990 CR250R.
When I drive through the town I grew up in and see all the fields we used to rip across with our dirt bikes are now Targets and Walmarts, it makes me kinda sad
very true , such a different time in the 70's & 80's.....
Same around here. Feel fortunate for the time i grew up in.
I’m only 16. But when I was about 8 we used to co canoeing and duck hunting in a marsh area. And we took three and four wheelers in the muck there. But now it’s about 500 houses. Sad and a dumb spot to build houses
I did a restoration on a 1971 Honda 750-4 back in the day it took me two years I have pictures of the bike but none of the restore. Love watching you working on this bike Hope Josh feels better thanks for sharing 5 Below this morning in Denmark Maine !
wow , that is awesome Ted. I had a 72 I was working on , & ended up selling it . I was lucky enough to get to ride one though , what an awesome bike ! 71 was the smaller tail light wasn't it ? Have a great weekend my friend and stay warm !
I love how u actually put ur time in these I watch other people's and they complain alot of all this and that but u actually put ur time into bikes and I love good keep up the good work
TTTIIIILLLL
If you want to soften rubber parts like that boot, mix wintergreen oil with rubbing alcohol (not the pre-mix) at a 3:1 ratio (3 parts alcohol to 1 part WG oil) and let the part soak a couple of days. Brings it back to like new condition. I haven't done it in a long time, but the last time I did it it worked well. It doesn't sweat either. You can re-use it a lot of times too.
that is a great tip ! Thank you
Funny thing is, there is only one series of videos on YT about it. The guy did a series comparing brake fluid, the pre-mix green rubbing alcohol, the mixture I described and just rubbing alcohol alone. The brake fluid worked OK, but it sweated later on. The winter-green oil and rubbing alcohol restored the part, a rubber motorcycle boot back to like new softtness. The other things had no effect.
Man im loving your cr videos I had your first one pop up on my recommendation videos and watched it and automatically started following you seems like your actually showing step by step work and not editing and skipping important procedures that some new guys might not know how to do. I just finished rebuilding a 85 cr 125 I bought last year and I'm in the process of completley restoring a 1987 Honda cr 125r I bought last year for 300$ even painted the frame with the factory paint code Honda flash red I purchased from color rite if you do yours but I've replaced everything new so far other then the frame swing arm rear shock air box seat front forks wheels gas tank and the engine but I can't wait to keep tuning in and seeing you're come along great work dude👍
Thank you Mark , I realized I forgot the front wheel and fork removal clips haha. That is awesome you rebuilt an 85 and you are doing the holy grail 87 , wow ! Thank you for tuning in , good luck with that 87 :)
@@5150mxVW thanks man I love my 87 if you have Facebook page I can send you pictures of it it's looking good im actually out in the shop now replacing all the original swing arm pins bearings and seals now. And I also have a question for you on your 85 I haven't rode mine since the rebuild but I have to order a clutch cable I had a brand new one for my 87 and put it in my 85 and when you work the end of the cable back and forth it will come unhooked from inside the motor not sure if the 87 cable will work on a 85 or not
J5150mxVw@yahoo.com you can email me . 87 does use a different part # for the clutch cable ....I ordered a motion pro one until I can find an NOS Honda one somewhere .
I bought one of these for racing in 88' as a teenager. Good to know what it was like on the inside after all these years. I pulled out the throttle plunger one day (don't ask me why) and managed to put it back in the wrong orientation (it only fits one way so I don't know how I managed it). It failed to kick over so I asked my old man to give me a push start down the driveway. It fired over at full throttle by the time I reached the street and proceeded to take off with me on it. Straight through the neighbours crusty old brick wall. The bike survived but I lost my nerve and sold it shortly after.
I found it easiest to use a 90 degree pick to get the radiator hoses off. Just slip it in between and work it all the way around.
Built a 1989 CR125 for myself a few years ago. Came out great! Did a 1988 CR125 for a friend a year before that....a 1987 CR125 2 years before that.....and a 1986 CR125 (mine) back in 1989. Really miss my 1986 CR125 the most! Great bikes.....
That parts bike that was given to you by Chris was a great score. It looks like it's in better shape than the first bike you were taking apart. You might need to find another parts bike to end up with one good bike. At least those bikes don't take up much space, and they are easy to hide from the wife.......
Great score from Chris indeed ! The parts bike has a lot of good parts that have not seen the weather like this bike has . Haha, no they don't take up much room and it's in the garage not the driveway / yard :)...They were cheap too , I only have a 100.00 tip ( I insisted ) in the parts bike which is still a GIFT.
thank you 65BN , have a nice weekend .
Great channel- really glad I found it when I did. I'm looking forward to following this project. Can't wait to see how it turns out!
thank you for the kind words , & droppin' in , I appreciate it
Always loved this bike, the year , just everything is a powerhouse back in the day. Nice channel!
👍, thank you Dylan !
Enjoying the build man. Keep the vids coming
thank you Tieran , much appreciated
Hats of to Chris donating the bike ,nice one keeping these bikes going, watching from the UK.
👍, yes Chris hooked me up ! thank you I appreciate it
Been real interesting so far bro and looking forward to more updates. All the best
thank you Ken , I appreciate it , all the best to you as well
Awesome vid and progress mate loving it all. Great stuff
thank you , have a great weekend
After stumbling upon your channel from part 1, I’m gonna request videos 7 days a week😂 boy I was just as surprised as you to see that swing arm bolt come free. I’m in the process of rebuilding my yz490, and had the same situation. Every bolt came right out (it was like winning the lottery) but my rear axle took about a half hour of finessing with a mallet and ratchet extensions to pound it through
Nice thumbnail pic👍....haha, thank u . YZ490 , very cool ! yes , I might have to sacrifice that rear axle to the beatings ...the left side of it is already pretty corroded and i have another one ....i just hate destroying parts as I'm shocked how hard some these parts have been to find . The 490 is a cool bike , good luck with it .
Dear 5150mxVW.
First of all: I hope that great little petrolhead Josh is well soon. I sure missed him. Will you please be so nice and give him a hug from me? Thanks in advance.
2) What good fortune that you got the spare parts dirtbike. Maybe it would make even more sense to use this as the restoration base!? It definitely looks not as worn out than the first one.
3) Have you seen this gorgeous inside and outside green original Westfalia VW Bus camper with the automatic gearbox on great Johnathan Ws channel? I simply love it.
Thanks a lot for making taping editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck health and wisdom.
Thank you CC , he is back to feeling well :) . Chris saved my SO much time & money searching for parts I'm sure I will need . There is a back story on this bike that I will get into later . I love the 70's green westy interiors ! Thank you for all the great comments you continue to leave us all . Best Regards , have a great weekend CC .
@@5150mxVW
Thanks for replying.
😳 You're welcome, it's my pleasure. Good to hear that Josh will be well soon. My greetings and thanks to "the third J" for treating him so well. :-) ;-)
I'm curious/excited to hear the special bike story.
Do you know respectively watch Johnathan W.?
Sincerely yours.
Great video and amazing followers. Very nice score for spares. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to the next episode.
thank you , and thank you all for what has been a lot of fun ( so far haha ).👍
Bring more mx videos around and more small engine stuff and you'll find yourself getting a ton more subs I bet because your an awesome filmer and youtuber it's like we're chilling with you, loving these new and vids
Thank you for the kind words QV
WOW!!! What Nice Guy Chris is... Thumbs up for Chris
Hey man love the channel and the relaxing content! Keep up the good work! :)
Thank you for the kind words , much appreciated . Have a great weekend
Great work, man!!! Can't wait to see it done. I wish I could find on of these her in South Africa as I used to race CR's in the 80's. VERY few and far between. I have been looking for a couple of years now, but no luck whatsoever.
thank you Jeremy , wow , that rare down there huh ? I hope you find one soon.
Sweet ride. Looking forward to seeing it brought back to life.
thank you Ron , have a great weekend
THIS man can fix anything 😁 and everything
Thank you Mary , just not Jen's dishwasher😂. Have a great weekend
Love the one liners! Haha
This is getting good! Keep it comin!
:) , thank you , I hope your bikes are doing well
Glad your starting. Me and my dad just got done rebuilding my 1995 kx 125 .
Nice👍...next build will be a 90's bike , much easier to get parts for ...good to hear you guys built that 95 .
Dude, your energy is fantastic. Stay well.
thank you , you as well
i wouldn't be surprised to see a bear come out that exhaust!
But my eyes really opened wide when i saw pieces falling off that sprocket!
You said it in part 1 too, so here it is, first time for everything!
PS. i don't think that kickstarted belonged to that bike but you sure took good care of that one hahah
Great video man! This bike is the worse case scenario one can imagine!
Hooked on watching!
Awesome video. I'm excited to watch this restoration.
thank you MxRider
Great work Jason. looks like it is coming apart nice. BIG THUMBS UP
Dear vwnut 1967
👍👌👏
thank you Brian , easier so far than I thought . Have great weekend , get the Snapper ready❄️
So crazy I Found an 1985 CR 80 in the woods that looked to be in the exact same condition except no acorns but plenty of other organic material from the forest in the air box, but all the bolts that looked rusted to hell actually came loose. And all the gears worked smoothly nut head and piston they don’t look to happy. I’m still deciding if I should do a rebuild or notZ I’m gonna see how yours turns out before gettin in any more
This series is wicked, love it!
thank you
Great story and a parts bike just appears! Very cool and it’s all down to the stocks of Karma you Josh have. Good things happen to good people...
A parts bike is always a bonus😎👍
huge bonus :) , thank you
Can’t wait see it done bud keep up good work
thank you K21' , I appreciate it , have a great weekend
This is going to be a sweet build! 👍
thank you CT !
Glad you got that frame bolt out!! Sure looked like the rear axle won't be as easy!! LOL Honestly...I think you may use more of that parts bike in the end!! I really can't believe there are parts available still for these bikes. That's awesome! Can't wait to hear it fire up! I did have a Pro Circuit pipe on mine (not sure there were called Works back then...since a works pipe was a cone pipe). Made a HUGE difference with Bones' recommended jetting!
yes, i was shocked it moved ! The bottom motor mount was a bear though ....and we still have the rear axle haha . Pro Circuit calls the unfinished pipes " works " , then you have the chrome or nickel plated pipes . But yes , the true " works pipes " were a work of art👍. Bones just retired recently didn't he ? .....time flies
That's some pretty interesting crud you found in that thing. Lol I enjoyed watching. Thank you.
thank you Karen
Looks like you done this before, cool tear down, enjoyed the video.
Hi Dan , thank you ...yes , but not a lot of experience on the pre 90' bikes . Have a great weekend my friend .
cool old truck I was brought up on a dairy farm and we had a 37 ford v8 i had so much fun feeding hay and doing wheels in the muddy paddocks
Nice👍
The CR'S, RM'S and the old YZ'S were the best bikes when I was a kid! Back in the late 70's early 80's ! Had a buddy that had a brand new RM 125, and he ran into a cable that was blocking a road. He got hurt pretty bad!
that is bad , he is lucky to be alive .....70's & 80's👍
@@5150mxVW Yeah when he came back to school he had a cast on his leg.
Good to see you have started👍my first ever race on one of these I blew the baffles out,something to check out I guess 😁
thank you Mc Mac .....ah the memories of the 1st race👍....I sheared my shift lever off in the 2nd turn of practice at Southwick in my 1st race on my 1990 KX125 ...I had to qualify with just 2nd gear ...what a sight ...I can still hear people on the sidelines of the straightaway screaming at me " SHIFT !!!! "😂. Maybe that was the race i broke my power valves ? lol
5150mxVW I guess you didn’t qualify then😂Did you get to race the AMA national’s later my friend
Man your videos are awesome
thank you James , I appreciate that
Can't wait for the next update. This is an awesome project.
thank you Brian , I appreciate it .
awesome video thanks I enjoyed watching
That’s an awesome project can’t wait to see more I think once it’s finished it would look good with an fmf or pro on there
thank you , if I can find one👍
I just finished rebuilding 2 1990 XR80R for my kids. Before I start to take everything apart I like to spray WD40 everywhere I see a bolt or a pivot joint. Let it sit there all night and then everything comes off like a new bike.
that's awesome , well done Dad👍. In part one I soaked the bike in almost 2 cans of PB Blaster , spraying it multiple times and let it sit for a week :) . This bike has been outside for almost it's entire life it appears , the lower spoke nipples are disintegrated👍.
Awesome vid mate, that water pump looked tasty, damn drain plug has been STOLEN 😎🇬🇧👍
thank you Ian ...haha , I couldn't believe that drain plug !

I just bought an 1989 cr125 and it needs some work but these bikes are easy. Love working on it so far. I hear 85-87 were good yrs and then not so.much for 88 but they went Back to whatever made him great and the earlier eighties and put that back on to the 1989 which I have
Guess what? I have that same bike. My son's got together this past fathers day and bought me a complete, running 1985 cr125. I wanted a 1985 cr250 but the guy sold it and this is what I got. But being 50 yrs old and last time I rode was 25 yrs ago and I'm disabled now I was still scared to ride it. I GIVE THAT SOB HELL NOW! Happy father's day to me!
Happy Father's Day , how awesome is that 👍
@@5150mxVW I made a you tube video of me my first day. I had already been riding about an hour but still scared. "HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ME" name of video
@@5150mxVW I decided to get on the highway racing the wife in the pick-up about 3 weeks ago ripped it wayyy to hard and blew it. Yes i won. Told my son's "hey need parts". Can you believe they said I would have to pay for it myself?
Awesome job brother! 👍😎👍
thanks man👍
Hello from a fellow New Englander. Cant wait to see the bike done
Hi Kyle , thank you , have a great weekend
It should be a crime to mistreat a bike like this. I’ve never seen something just so beat down. Great video
Man you New England guys are tough! No insulation in that garage at all. Cold AF here in Chicago, there would be no way I'd be out in my garage doing this and my garage is insulated!
Haha , there are some pretty gritty New Englanders ....I was outside working in the snow filled driveway last year ...just being inside is👍
Great clear video good job.
thank you
Very nice garaje Bro 💪 gretings from Mijas pueblo (Spain)
Hi Many thanks for posting this, how have you got on with the rebuild ? I have an 85 cr125 in a similar condition and facing the same challenges and I havnt seen any updates on this bike for a while and thought I would ask how things are going ?
I had one of these🦾💥…I had an 83 many Years later,Completely Rebuilt it…then Unfortunately Sold it😭…Now I have an 06 🤘…I Also Just Bought the 2023 50th Anny 450 with the Gold Rims & Blue seat🤑…I’m Completely Rebuilding the 06 !…Honda is the $hit 👊…have Fun with Yer Build…Anything you Need for it I’m Sure you Can get,or you Can have stuff Made…If I were You…I would have Drenched the Bike in WD40…the Teardown would have been Much Easier…But You Got it Handled…Can’t Wait to See it when Yer Done🦾🏁🔥
Great tear down Sir. I'd never be able to put all the parts back on, lol.
thank you Barefoot , wait until the transmission gears are rolling around the shop floor , haha.
A different form of motorized vehicle, tear down and rebuild restoration. Could make some comments about " the one that got away " but this is a family friendly channel. Have not seen how you got started with the air cooled Volkswagens. Would be interesting for me & likely others who view & appreciate your posts. A low key joke for you Jason " Where do you send old Volkswagens to die ?" The old Volks home of course ... Cheers from central FL !
Actually, this CR is water cooled...
85 CR125's were water cooled , just not this one haha
Thank you Marc , sounds like a good clip for the next Vw vid ...haha , have a great weekend👍
Wow what a project ! 😬 👍👍👍👍

Nothing like bring the old iron back to life. To bad about the dreaded magnesium case rot. Worse comes to worse there is a company making replacements out of aluminum. Keep up the great work.

95% of people have more in their (newer) cars than they are worth on any given day. You buy a car for X dollars and 6 months later it's worth less than it was the day you bought it. Cars and motorcycles are not investments. If you like something, the real question is 'what is it worth TO ME?' and not 'do I have more money in this than I could sell it for?'
The only way that equation makes sense is if what you want is a really common car and that it would be a lot cheaper to just buy it from someone else than to spend the money to fix the one you have. But the market is rarely that generous to you.
You nailed it ! People see some ( about all lol ) of my projects and say it's not worth fixing . I'm not fixing them for resale or value , I work on / invest in them for the sheer joy of it . This is a passion and hobby of mine . Most of my motorcycles are bikes that I had racing in the 90's or lusted after as a kid . As for the cars , I keep the ones that talk to me no matter their condition or value . There is no way financially speaking , fixing this bike makes sense . I bought an running 86 CR125R a few years ago for $300 and they can still be had for cheap. Thank you for the great comment
The asmr sounds of him putting the wrench on the muffler bolts
Tech Tip: replace all those screw with 8 or 10 mm headed bolts same lengths. I always do with vintage repairs, easier to fix later if it needs it. I keep various bolt kits in my shop here, specifically for that purpose. No drain plug. Someone forgot to put it back in. I'll bet.
Awesome man from Australia 🇦🇺
thank you Ayden👍
Are you done with the RM and CR videos?? I've been looking forward to an update video on those

Well then you know your the minority , ya either love the Zuk's or dislike them ....Some of the best bikes I ever owned were RM's. I'm looking forward to a 1991 RM125 build that I have a lot of parts for already
