The legend lives on🤙
Nice work Gabe , seriously great video

Here in Europe where ik life we call the SP500 a DR500. Only the 370 called SP. I ride a 1981 DR 250 and love this bike even it has no power. But for Some trailing it's a fun bike. You have a great channel and love your video's can't wait for the next won. Greatings from the Netherlands.
Nice. Twice as many shocks, twice as much sketchy fun 😂

When this bike came out, none of us wanted one. For the same price plus a case of beer you could get a big bore 2 stroke mx bike. I am so amazed at what you have gotten out of this bike.
I love watching you crush dreams on junk bikes
Finally!! I haven’t watched it yet I’m just happy you have a video out
It's about time right?

Super! Díky Czech Republik! 👍
dammmm you still got that bike 🧐🤯
Man you could have made 2 or 3 episodes out of this whole rebuild and I think most of us (like all of us really) would have loved it ! More video more frequently would help you to grow this channel and its revenue and its not like you're not doing the job on the bike already. Most under rated channel on YT imo. Best of luck !
Love these rebuilds, making junk great again. Looking forward to the next vid.
Love your content. Well done Gab !!!
Thanks Bob!

Loved the transformation. I thought that this bike will be forgotten but it is going stronger than ever!
Sooper Pooper VVT :D :D :D Love it. Looking forward to the next installment!
Good on you for the resurrection. I hate this disposable generation. As a farmer I'm a compulsive fixer. In the 1970's we used to drill out the top of the fork tube nut and install an alloy auto rim air valve, and pump just a few psi of air in the forks. A simple cheap upgrade for an old bike. I would ad a 10mm spacer washer on top of the fork spring, this wouldn't hurt either as the springs have shortened over the yrs too. Just an old Bushy's fix it advice for ya.
The SP is actually factory fitted with air-adjustable forks! I just always forget to use them 😂

Wonderful, amazing work Gabe! As a 56-year-old riding since the ‘70s, your creations are a hoot! Enjoy the journey, take good care and keep up the great job! You’re going places, dirty! Gratefully, Dennis
Oh man, and you drove this hunk of questionable japanese metal 1,000 miles AND took it 2 laps on an endurance race! You are definitely right about it being an upright turd but wow I'd be calling it a death trap. Despite this your content always brings a smile to my face and is getting my head thinking more and more about getting back in to racing again. Can't wait for the next videos and especially the one on that Dial-a-jet.
I really do like your vids, this one made me lol a couple of times.
Little late but extremely hyped up that you are starting to upload can't wait for episode 2
Looking forward to the next vid. These old junk bikes are often more fun to watch videos about than the latest and greatest. Still not turning on the bell though.
Loving your channel from italy !💗

@@TortureTestMagazine I'm already a patreon ofc !!! Signed the same day i discovered your channel ! You awaken a new energy in me !! I'm so gratefull to you !
cant wait to see you have atleast 300k or more subscriber since you deserve more that your current number of subscriber just hang in there!
I love these videos.
Watching this with interest. I have a 1983 SP500 which I converted into an awesome cafe racer because of how bad it was as a dirt bike. I have a 2nd one in pieces which I originally wanted to turn into a vintage MX bike so I am watching your series to see if it's worth doing.
Enjoyed the video, can't wait for more about the bike as it sounded / looked great (minus the kickstart) at the end!
Great work as usual, i absolutely love the slow mo shots. Fantastic to see how you took care of the SP
There will be plenty more slo mo shots of this bike coming out!

Great video! Won't be able to sleep waiting for the next episode!!
Two weeks of no sleep 😆 thanks for being a channel member, as always!
that chopping board number plate look vintage😂
Going to be unstoppable now! Love it!!
2 strokes need to make a comeback, a elsinore 125 from the same era would put this bike to shame.
Good work man.
Take time for yourself
Enjoy life.
🤘🏻
this is a good one. I watched the rmatvmc series 😁
Nice! Hope you enjoyed the RM series as much as I did! When the floats fell apart on this bike it just had me dying 🤣

Great work on the dunga revival bud.
Keen to see a video on the Dial-A-Jet
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
Awesome video! I still can’t believe you raced that thing at the 6 hour. I thought for sure it was 1-and-done after those 2 laps at the 10 last year! 😆
All I needed was for the bike to be able to make the hill! lol
Leaving a comment to supercharge the algorithm😂 but seriously, I love your bike build videos!!
Yessss boost for the algo. Thanks!

Thanks for getting me back into riding. Love your channel!

You have to do a collaboration with that dude who builds turbo cafe racers!
So intrigued to see how this endeavor turns out!
That thing is TERRIBLE! 😂 You're a friggin stud, Gabe! Keep on rocking - Wes
"This bike is total crap in every way." LOL love it! Great video. I'm looking forward to seeing the continued process on this bike. Maybe a rematch with the RMATV crew on their bikes...?
thanks
When I had this bike brand new it was the only vehicle I had and rode it all year it was a beast! 75% street 25% off-road miss that bike
nice one
Dial a jet video! Please sir lol
Loving the vids, keep it up !
Thanks! Will do!

Can't wait to see the test ride! You can tell by just the short clip its making WAY more juice. And I'm surprised you aren't running a Tusk rear tire. For your style races I'd prob love the Kenda DT rear. They last forever(DOT) and have way better lateral traction than the trackmasters. But I run the Tusk Recon for hard enduro stuff
Oh the power is HEALTHY now! And yeah usually the Trackmaster does me well but on this thing it just wasn't cutting it. Details on that in the next video!

Proving once again that more money does not equate to more fun.
Forks off a old RM will slide right into the clamps
The Hog Rider is a rugged, dark-skinned man with a mohawk riding a large hog. He is bare-chested, wearing only a brown leather loincloth, a red belt and a pair of leather sandals. He has two large golden wristbands and a gold earring. His weapon of choice is a large warhammer.
His mount is a large boar/hog, about half its rider’s height; the Hog Rider holds a brown leather bridle which is looped around the boar’s tusks.
Because of his mount, the Hog Rider can jump over Walls, giving the user a great advantage over the enemy base.
Although he has high damage per second and moderate hit points, he only takes 2 minutes to train.
Hog Riders prioritize Defensive Structures above all other targets, and will bypass all other types of enemy Buildings and Troops while any Defenses remain on the battlefield. This is true even if they are under attack by enemy Clan Castle troops, Heroes or Skeleton Trap skeletons.
Note that like all Troops that prioritize Defenses, Hog Riders do not consider the Clan Castle to be a Defenses regardless of whether or not it contains enemy Troops.
Once all Defenses are destroyed, Hog Riders become like any other Troops with no preferred target; they will attack the nearest building to them regardless of type, and will turn and attack enemy units if they become aware of any nearby.
Great job and I’m looking forward to the next video. If your not breaking stuff your not going hard enough. One day I’d love to see what you could do with a XR650R.
He’s done races with a xr600r I believe
@@dog_g5048 I think he did but a Xr650r would be interesting with him riding it
Ow man, where's the next episode? greetings, a ft500 Scrambler owner.
That thing is way too fast for how much suspension travel it has. Love it!
It sure is! Might be getting some real suspension upgrades soon though after what happened lol
@@TortureTestMagazine 👀
If it's not due for a bonkers front end swap, something like racetech cartridge emulators are the way to go for old, smooshy damper rod stuff like that! Like $150 or less and they make a world of difference.
Love to watch your content! Keep it up! Any chance you still have the jetting info from your XR250R with the OKO carb??? I have one that I want to do the swap on. Keep o roosting!!
Off the top of my head I think 155 main, 42 pilot, and Keihin ECF or FCH needle will get you in a position where it runs but PWK style carbs are extremely finicky with jetting. If it's not absolutely dialed for your application it will have annoying characteristics. Once it's dialed it's sweet

I'm thinking of doing this instead of buying a new bike. Interesting
Hey man awesome video love budget building, where do you get the direct actuated carb from?
Good video. Makes me want to get after the 77’ XT500! We have some riding to do.
Does that thing run yet?

Is that Carnegie SVRA??? Woulda loved to seen you out there!
We need more 2 stroke content!
I'm interested in that dial a jet to see if it makes the pumper/flatslide carbs more appealing.
I'm not sure if it should be used with a pumper. Might be just fine but there could be a minor conflict. could probably be tuned out if the AP timing and volume can be precisely adjusted. What's not appealing about pumpers and flat slides?

@@TortureTestMagazine I'm not a racer and I ride an XR650L. Fuel consumption and elevation are the most important factors. I have heard that guys can get less than 30mpg with the pumpers on a 650. The other option is a Lectron, but I don't require a milled carburetor on my POS XR 😂. I ride with old guys on KTMs on dual sport type terrain, so keeping up isn't a huge problem.
I have no reason to dislike my CV carb. If I could get the same performance from the other styles of carbs without the problems, that would be cool.
Were the last few riding shots at Carnegie?
👍
Siiiiiiiiiiiick 👍
Yo, what kind of casio do you have on? W800h?
How did you wire the ignition to a switch? Im currently working on one. And can't find any diagrams online since it has 4 wires.
What happen to the xr600?
👏👏👏🤘🤙
Great Videos! I have the same bike, it has some missing Carb. parts that are no longer made. Can you recommend a simple Aftermarket Carb you would replace it with? Not racing, I'm just trail riding around a mountain with it.
Does the elevation you ride at fluctuate a lot?
Personally I would Get a PWK 36mm. A spesific model that is quality and reasonably Priced is an
OKO 104 36mm.
Make sure to Get a Main and pilot jet kit for your carburator as well. If you have more questions I will try to Help.
Besides, they're usually cheaper to rebuild!
Surely you fixed the hole in the engine? Right?
This sounds like a John Deere tractor
It’s just one spoke!
Yeah how bad could it be?! 😂
