2vintage (Joe Weber) makes no representation about the sufficiency of any safety precautions and equipment used in this video.
The anonymity of social media, in this case RUclips, makes for some ferocious commentary. Constructive commentary of any sort can help figure problems out, but negative remarks seem to be aimed at shaming and embarrassing Joe. What is the point? If you’re a true mechanic, you’re out in the garage repairing a bike, not sniping here trying to proclaim yourself an expert. Just save that nonsense. This guy loves what he does, has some success, definitely has ethics and most importantly will admit when he is stumped. He’s a teacher. I’ve watched several channels on bike repair and I’m learning, primarily from 2vintage. There are others that are informative, but I find this one easiest to watch.
And NOBODY else has Vinnie. If you don’t agree, an application of gasket maker on your mouth is in order.
Let’s appreciate the fact, that Joe is of the guys that says "yup, it’s messed up, I will NOT sell it like that" and actually goes through the hustle of repairing it right.
Well he really won't sell nothing . Don't get me wrong dudes a he'll of a wrench but won't ever reply to anything ever !!!
@@HughesWilliams-just-cthat doesn’t mean he won’t sell anything. I would imagine he gets TONS of emails/texts/tweets 🤷♂️
@BrianSnider-de1tt I've tried over and over and was hit up by a few people that said the same ! You can tell by his collection he doesn't sell . He will trade but to get a reply is useless I've tried everything for over a year and nothing . I love the videos but if it weren't for people like us there would be no videos . So do the math make ur suggestions but I've tried so is what it is .
@@HughesWilliams-just-care you messaging him straight from his marketplace listings?
Edit: just checked and he’s already got this one for sale for $2300
Joe is an absolute butcher mechanic
Go big on the shed Joe!! You won't regret it. Might even have room for new the parts washer 🤣🤣🤣
In my humble opinion, no other bikes beat the late 70's-thru earlly 90's dirt bike styles. They are absolutely beautiful machines.
Agreeed
Yeah...I know a lot of people put a lot of hate out about the 97-98 Honda CR250R because it was so drastically different Jeremy McGrath crapped all over it, but I had a 1998 CR250r and that bike was so amazing to ride, to me, the way it ripped through corners, and the way the power came on was just amazing.
As the comment below - we used to call it lapping in performed on a lapping stone or plate with lapping compound. The figure 8 motion was always a must giving you the best opportunity to apply even pressure in all directions and getting the best results. Back and fourth WILL take off a hair more on each side as you apply opposite pressure to change direction.Also, I would raise the table to chest height making it easier to perform the 8 motion
I remember my first time lapping a cylinder and head. I took to much off and had to use race gas after.
Dang another great day to view another great 2vintage video
Thank you for the peake at Jade and your little one. Treasure your time with your little one. They grow up way too quickly.
If you freeze it at 43:26 you can see at the 1 o’clock point of the seal, that it’s not seated. It’s bulging out there.
Yeh i see that too
my eyes picked that up aswell
reusing studs will kick you back latter or someone who buys it
Another great morning, sipping coffee and watching Joe repairing an engine! Keep em coming Joe!
A little tip…..Figure 8’s next time you try to resurface something
And more water, or WD40
and a light coat of black paint from a spray can to know your sanding motion is flat or if theres a warp.
Maybe wash after ur done?@@tootg8627
I was just about to give them shit for that never in a back and forth always in a figure eight pattern
@@tootg8627 I like to use Dykem layout dye myself
Brilliant as always can you always include the garden when testing out the bikes so we can see the progress through out the season thanks in advance
Mr 2vintage has an unequaled work ethic and seems to always fix-er-right great job!!
The CR does run really good and it sounds good too except when you miss a shift ☺
it's a nice looking bike too. I've always liked the white and red.
I really like the Yamaha 80 too. That's going to be a nice little bike when it's all cleaned up.
I still remember seeing those new on the showroom floor when I was younger
Thanks,for the gt 80 update they are small but mighty.
Things look good around for you.❤
Always enjoy your videos, nice to see the ch growing
94 CRS colours look beautiful
I had a ‘94 250. One of those you wish you still had.
@StevenBatis-eh7gs I had a 86 Cr 125 but the best most fun bike with best power band was 1983 RM 125 going round left hand turns speedway style balancing sideways going through the gears
Thanks for another great video joe ! I had a GT 80 as a kid and loved hearing that thing Brap ! Killer job on the 125 also !
That Honda sounds fantastic Joe, good job Well Done. If the little Yamaha was human, he’d have a grin from ear to ear! (and I guess you did too). Love how you bring these old bikes back to life. Small bikes are where it’s at.
Cheers Joe… onto the next! 👍😎❤️✅
Water also helps when sanding metals
Excellent work joe u are really starting to get good now at rebuilding engines 2 stroke or 4 really impressed with the knowledge u have gained over the years 👏👏👏
usaully crank seals also can mean worn main bearings, any play at the fly wheel is usaul give away of bearings worn, well done on the cr
49:05 That CR is Screaming for Vengeance! It sounds so good.
Best day ever 2 stroke video and engaged today, right on 🤘🇨🇦
Great work fixing that cylinder joe. Awesome video.
Really enjoyed it. Thank you.
Deer LOVE green beans. (Ask me how I know) and can jump VERY high. Deer and rabbit repellent works very well, but has to be reapplied after heavy rain.
You should sand in a figure of 8.
You'll always put pressure on each side pushing and pulling or at the very least turn it as you do 👍💪
you're talking about the guy who puts the chains around the chain guards...
You do a great job trouble shooting and make your videos straight to the point, making your videos easy and entertaining to watch let alone informative on the average Joe encountering the same issues with machines insight on how to diagnose and fix there own machines, you have above average tutorials on home fixes that are done properly and effectively without constantly blasting a parts cannon at it all the time keeping a budget in mind when fixing machines. Keep up the good work!
I appreciate the focus of his videos is not on him, or his Facetime, but on the project. Also, appreciate the patience and knowledge shown in diagnoses and repair.
Hey Joe .....consider a solar 2 wire electric fence for the garden....4-6" and 20" off the ground. They really work and much cheaper set up. Love these videos!!
We bought an old abandoned farmhouse many years ago, i was 6 or 7 and while exploring the property i found five dead deer under an old apple tree.
I ran home to get my dad and mom, upon inspection dad pronounced the deer dead alright, dead drunk. Eating fermented apples.
Thanks for sharing xD
Great story but what has that to do with this content?
Where's the footage?
Joe pressure wash things before you work on them.
Yes and Buy a Parts Washer. Bought a Carolina model from Sams Club 30 years ago, on same solvent.
Guys telling joe to pressure wash their bikes when they don't even shower on a consistent basis.
So you didn’t need it.
Joe. Great Job on the 80. Cub and Cub lowboys have been around for a long time not much change in the engine design. With good maintenance the will last a long time. I have a 1070 Cub and it starts right up every time. Your sandy soil will make a great garden.
Loving the 2 bike fix’s in one video
Love your videos. I put fence posts around my garden with yellow/ black rope with wire wound into the rope. I string that on the posts probably 8 inch spacing and hook up a solar fence charger. I have never seen a deer or any animal in my garden
I totally love your videos ❤ absolute zinger🎉 I admire your work and perseverance 👌
Great vid! It looks like you’ve discovered a PTO driven tiller is absolutely the sharpest tool in the shed! Also, regarding fencing, I plant about 6 acres of soybeans each year for the deer on my property. The problem is that if they’re not protected, they’ll never last long enough to mature. My solution was a dual perimeter electric fence using 1/2” electric tape (vs a wire fence) and energized by a 12 volt Parmak solar energizer. I take the fence down in September and my soybeans are about chest high. This method was developed by researchers at Auburn Univ and Arkansas Univ. I’ve been using this fencing method for about 7 years now with tremendous success. In fact, just finished doing that today at my farm. The secondary benefit is that it is removable and mobile if you change up garden locations. There are numerous RUclips vids demonstrating how to set up. If you would like links on cost effective materials for set up, just leave me a reply. Good luck and keep producing these awesome vids!
Brilliant video Joe watching from Edinburgh Scotland UK 🇬🇧 👏 👍
will this affect the compression ratio, sanding down the cylinder
yes
it will increase it slightly
It should increase it by making the squish band smaller.
Drastically
I do all my wet sanding and polishing on a thick piece of 1/2" tempered glass. Always wet. Rinse sandpaper often. Saw it on YT Machinists site.
That 125 is quick new 125 in the UK today wouldn’t do half that speed, nice work again Joe
Great fixes as allways joe , keep up the great work!
Joe, make it easier on yourself and set those seat covers out in the sun before installing. If its a cooler day, just place them in a vehicle on the dash facing towards the sun. I usually try to do seat recoverings in the summer months which always yields great results, not to mention it makes stretching so much easier. As always, I love the content and look forward to seeing your posts!! Good work!!!
Nothing beats that sweet sound of that 2-stroke echoing throughout the valley
Love your Honda content
Great job Joe!! What ever happen to the DR 350 you was working on back in October ? Loved that bike!
Love your videos Joe, as usual great job! The 125 does sound quite lean to me on the pilot and main, (zingy top end/idle hanging after a pull) they do scream like a bandit when too lean lol, not sure where u ended up on the air screw, but try richening it up a bit and make sure you’re within 1-2 1/2 turns out. I’d go to 4th clip position as well or up the main. Hate to see that beauty get blown up after all the work! Keep the videos coming brother!
Great job on fixing the Honda and the little Yamaha 80 ! Both great bikes !!!
Great job fixing this bike. I never knew that Honda ever made a 2 stroke, that's a new one on me.
Nice that you got both bikes running great. I appreciate you listening to our response and suggestions for you to have a wonderful time.I saw you family and so beautiful. Again possibly you can bring your daughter to help you plant the green beans especially because she will see how fast they grow with her Daddy and get to eat and put them together. Not on video if you just let us know how excited she was. I remember both of my girls and my son how there eyes lit up when they first started and when they first got to pick and eat them. And I was going to mention how the Deer could get to your trees but the growth was so low that having a big fence around the entire garden was a bit much but I am glad you realized how tasty they would be to the critters and animals would get to them. Also I had the same 125 and the same 80 growing up and to hear both running so good. Aside from you missing a couple gears. Made me cringe and laugh I have done the same many times. Let me know if there for sale love to give to my grand children to love and have memories like I have and to watch you do what I have done for many many years has been to wonderful.I wanted to say thanks for all that you video to help us and others. Stay well and God Bless you and your family Dale
You have raised the compression on the cr 125 with your sanding.no wonder it goes like stink. Great work
Nice work! I've done something similar before, and I used 3M Super 77 spray adhesive to secure the sandpaper to the glass. The cleanup was a little harder, but it held the sandpaper to the glass quite well, which made it easier for me to concentrate on the sanding.
Don't need it. Wet w water, sucks it right down. You might have to hold a corner, use a whole sheet. Rinse often, esp with Alum.
Love that little Yamaha. My best friend had one just like that when we were in grade school and I had a Suzuki 90cc street and trail “enduro” with the lights and the plate.
That 125 is rippin now! Those bikes are so much fun.
You sir have absolutely fantastic videography skills, attention to both do the work and catch it SO well deserves very high praise, please wear boots for ankle protection when testing ❤❤
Great video Joe, like the multiple content! Hey, ever thought about building a large repair and storage shop on your land?
Concrete is getting poured for one mid may
@@2vintagesee how far @victoryoutdoorservices is from you. He’s got a relatively new channel that’s exploding and it’d be cool to see you two meet up. He’s from around Waukesha/Milwaukee area. Not sure how far from you. But them fellas do some AMAZING work!!
Awesome 125 man i had a 1991 loved it keep them videos coming 👍
Would you ever consider a full restoration? Then leaving fluids out and being shelved (aka stored and not used)
I honestly think you have some bikes that deserve a nice retirement and could continue to increase in value.
Just a thought is all
Awesome job on resurfacing (yells into the air *someone buy this man a vapor blaster /s) 😁
OMG that Yamaha 80, I just had nightmare flashbacks of my first bike around 8 y/o (I don't count the Honda 50 as I shared with my brother)
It takes a different type of guy to be able to do a full restoration. Attention to detail is key and nothing against Joe, but I don't think he's cut out for doing full-on restorations.
They take up too much time doing full resto,s,there hard to sell when restored,people like to buy them wrecked now and restore them themselves I've found
My Honda pressure washer had a 16-size feeler gauge exaust valve and a new machine. The air filter had oil in it, making it surge-thinking but never backfired with it in place. Going to use propane in my riding mower and other engines. You could buy them deer fences used for gardens.
Happy Days Joe Has Posted 🔥🔥🔥
Nice work on the surfaces. It's kind of amazing how shallow a groove will let water go by. I was concerned that the piston might come too close, but you probably only removed, what... thousandths of an inch?
Love these videos, keep them up
Kuddos to you Joe!
I like how you cleaned up the studs with the wire wheel in the bench grinder.
If you put a little antiseize on the threads they will never get stuck again.
Also check your squish.
You absolutely do not want to put anti-seize on the studs those studs go through to the water jacket they should have a coat of Teflon tape or pipe sealant
Yes squish is very important even if it's low 30s you will absolutely crush a ring land on high RPMs ask me how I know
Coolest mini bike ever, that and the 60cc. Honda of course built the most reliable mini bikes but those little Yamahas were actually little motorcycles. I love the 125, it ripped almost as good as an RM but not quite. Great Job Joe! Thank you!
Hey Joe, really curious how you go about determining when to swap out the factory jetting on the carb to whatever new size you go with. I guess I'm wondering if the jetting can wear out over time or what? Thanks, Joe!
I've been waiting weeks for you to get back on the mini enduro! Awesome!
If you ever get tired of the Honda 350-4, I'd be happy to buy it. I need one last 4 cal bike in my late 70"s. You find the best stuff up there in the winter wonderland. Love your videos.
I had a red 350-4, bought new when I was a kid. Not that fast, but sounded nice with a 10,000 rpm redline. It was pretty rare in my area and got a lot of attention.
Copper gasket spray works great on mls/metal type gaskets
A little tip on the corn you planted , crows will pull them up once they start coming up. Would put up a scare crow or two. Love your vids.
I surfaced a cyclinder head with a piece of glass and sand paper Joe it worked
I know of A simple trick tip for that Joe. It's after sanding it down flat twist A helicoil into the threaded surface hole in that cylinder Jug. I'd put it in with some lock tite thread locker for safe measure's to. It should seal up after that work process. Of resurfacing the cylinder Jug to sit flush up against the bottom end and head to.
2 things it's called a field or paddock and what happens when someone builds at the end of the dead end road?. Great videos
Love the 125 sounds great 👍
What also works really well is using JB weld in the grooves and then sanding lightly. You don’t have to remove as much material.
Cr sounds epic you may have found the sweet spot on the squish with your resurfacing
You are a good man Joe. A lesser man would have just sold that bike with the rtv on the head and let the byer find out. It's good to see a young man do the right thing. Love the tractor and the gardening.
Dang Joe you scored a great tractor, that thing is amazing that tiller goes through that soil like butter and makes it all fluffy, what seed in its right mind would not want to grow in that soil. nice job. PS; I am jealous. lol :)
Nice work Joe, The Honda is a beast!
I have a 1971 Bultaco and sounds pretty much the same like this Honda. I love these two stroke dirt bikes.
U should put Yamabond on crank seal I do so it helps seal it up little tip
Red loctite for the win!!
Good job knocking out a few projects. Build a dirt track Fridays would be a frigging awesome weekly series. FARMING - keep at it. If you are doing potatoes, you ought to do carrots, and turnip / rutabaga / beets too. Basically all the same in terms of effort.
Awesome Joe!!! A quick tip on rusted and stuck studs in conjunction with the heat. Believe it or not, you can use a few drops of DOT 3 brake fluid around the base of the bolt or stud and it works better than even Kroil or the best penetrating oil you can buy. An old timer told me about it for an old banshee axle nut that was stuck and it worked! Give it a shot sometime. Appreciate the great videos man.
I saw on Instagram a video of a guy using a color crayon & heat on a rusty head bolt.
He heated the rusted head bolt. Put the crayon at the base of the bolt watching it melt between the head bolt.
Little more heat/crayon. The stud comes loose.
It may have been fake. I won't know until I try it.
The hard part is what color do I use? 🤔
@@svoctopus4888 wax definitely works with enough heat!
Joe once that nice new shed is done, don't forget to put a nice new roller starter in it.
Your knees, joints, family jewels.., will all be spared later on😅😂
yeah that's the plan. I just don't have the room right now for one.
I like dirt bikes and i like to mentor you guys in the right ways to do stuff. He has very good skills and could go far.
I know you said you paid what you thought was 'top dollar' for that tractor, but honestly with the attachments it came with and how amazing it starts and runs, Joe I think that thing was probably one of the best buys you've ever made.. Also, that 125 brings me back to the 90s SO hard, I had my step son come down and watch you ride it at the farm, told him when I was a teen we had one of these, a YZ 125, a YZ80 and another Honda.. yeah man.. good memories of REAL dirt bikes when they were SO good!!
Love your videos keep em coming Rob ! Be careful when your ripping in the field !! Stay in 1st or 2nd gear ! You changed my life brother 💪🇨🇦
Great video...they run great now.😮
Another great job done Joe!’ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🇺🇸
all threw the 70's were i lived you couldn't go a week end with out hearing at least 2 or more racing around. music to my ears!
All of these commenters say you’re doing things wrong, but I keep clicking on their profiles trying to find all their expert content and I’m coming up short! meanwhile, 2vintage is cracking off solid, successful repair vid’s a couple times a week🤷🏻♂️
All these comments, myself included are to busy being engineers in the real world. We offer alyernative to this good old country boy who is having a go and yes he has success but there are proven alternative techniques to ehat he is trying to achieve which we offer up as some guidance. How do we know they work? Because having gone through an apprenticship and then practiced for 45 years we may have come across thing before and felt the pain of doing it harder ways before doing it right.
The resurfacing was objectively wrong, they don't need videos of it on their profiles because they learned this information 100 years ago like everyone else
@@flyingkaratechopit worked! It’s not a passenger jet, it’s a 25+ year old dirt bike, a simple machine that can tolerate simple repairs!
@@kevinmountford4541 I think all you “engineers” in the comments are just mad because this guy is doing simple shit that works, you “engineers” have a habit of thinking everything needs to be engineered
@@johnnyblair6034 Do it wrong because it's old, got it
Getting a 97 Yamaha yz250 soon can’t get over all the cheap deals you get on bikes up there crazy
Yea Right!!!
My Dad had a ‘73 or ‘74 Honda 350 Four. I grew riding on the back of that. Good times.
Spray adhesive instead of tape on that sandpaper. Love your videos
I dunno if it matters it may be too expensive they make a block of a big stone thing that makes it straight I seen a guy use it on builds pretty cool
I know everyone will say figure eights here but to be honest we're talking about removing thousandths here, a light back and forth motion works fine as demonstrated.
Got spark?? Lol got everything else. Great vid Joe.
Don’t forget to check torque/tighten the spokes! Those will destroy a tube in a INSTANT
Essentially you’ve increased compression by a significant bit. It may be a good idea to buy a cheap inline temp gauge. And as long as ur not running hot the only thing I’d suggest would be running a higher octane gasoline.
You could also easily check the squish with a piece of 1mm solder or malleable clay. Compare it to stock squish (probably.8 - .6mm) and go from there. Biggest concern with tighter squish/increased compression is heat. Awesome job joe!
Hi Joe, Great content, you might think about giving those young trees some water.
It's been raining for like 4 days straight
