Is there a reason for taking the bike apart to fix it before trying to start it? I’m going to buy a gt80 next week and owner says it doesn’t run, I was gonna put gas in it and try and send it, but now I’m thinking maybe I shouldn’t, and I should follow your steps?
Might kick it over without the spark plug in, then go for it, pour gas in it and see what happens. Here is a playlist going completely through a GT80. Hope this helps. ruclips.net/p/PL9qe0chdOgTsNQryKhl7qF4VMmX0wmXN1&si=NxUZVKhMEJw1risF
Would you consider selling? I live in south central kentucky and had a KE100 I rode when I was younger before I knew anything about how engines work. That bike ran like crap now that I look back on it, she was in desperate need of seals everywhere
I think some kids stole it popped it in the dumpster and you showed up before they could get transportation to take off safely with the bike. I can't see any one throwing a bike like that in the trash. 😈
I had an 82 dr500 that ran and had all original parts and I gave it away because I was sick of looking at it I recently got into restoring old bikes and kick myself for it all the time so I believe it
@@kentuckyyankee Hey oooh Kentucky Yankee? What you milling around doing these last 3 weeks? Have any new content? We'll be keeping an eye out. I've been trying to sell my bike this summer but no luck, but its not a have to. No need to respond to this reply, it was just a hi how are you. Only way I know how to reach out say howdy :D
@@inseasonandoutofseason Thanks for checking in. I have had a remodeling job the last couple weeks, looking forward to posting a video soon as possible. If you haven't sold your bike then keep on riding it!
Seeing this makes me sick inside throwing out a gt80 in the dumpstet That should honestly be a crime knowing a Yamaha GT80 is a wonderful peice of history. As a child my uncle had the service manuals that he gave me as a child. Wish i still had them
I’m gunna have to say the same.. someone would be pretty stupid to throw a bike away that had good spark and just needed a carb clean. Plus the dumpster being conveniently full. That bike had way to much potential but hey I’ve got some crazy free machines myself so it’s not all that unbelievable. 😂
@@kentuckyyankee And I speak from experience... !!! One ex I had threw away my priceless MAX HEADROOM COLLECTION that came in VCR tapes... AND my even more RARE AND PRICELESS VICTORIA SECRET BARBIE....!! Those Barbie dolls only went on sale for a couple of days back in 1995 before MATTEL had to pull them off the shelves and the market all together because some FAT MOTHERS complained how MATTEL dared such reckless and offensive products (according to them) were put on sale for children.... Well, my ex got rid of her behind my back!! And I noticing it until later... Can you believe she felt threatened by a VICTORIA SECRET BARBIE???.. A gorgeous a sexy little doll??.... I THREW HER AND HER STINKING CAT OUT OF COMPOUND......!!!...... Those dolls are such an extremely RARE FIND ...!! 😞 And I lost her ...(my Barbie) that is..... I get angry every time I remember...!! Lesson learned.......Lesson learned....
What a find! Can’t believe how fast you got her up and running. Good for you 🤟🏻😎👍🏻
She's tired but did better than I thought it would!
I bet somebody just parked the bike in the dumpster and was pretty upset when he wanted to pick it up! 😂Congrats - perfect find!
😂😂 Finders keepers!!
Wow I’m jelly. A free classic 😍. You just know it’s gonna run with minimal effort when u see that YAMAHA decal 🤣👌🤙🏻. Nice find. Tks for sharing
I've had a couple lucky finds on motorcycles, but never anything for free! Looking forward to more videos!
Keep your eyes open John you will !!
That’s a badass little pit bike!
Thanks hopefully will be soon, still have work to do.
Dumpster find, I wish I was that lucky 😁. Good job and thank you!!
Thanks Tom best day of my life !!
You and everyone else. I highly doubt this.
oh my god! amazing! in the dumpster!
Where else will you find a killer free of charge GT80??
Cool little bike. I like the white paint job. 👍
Great little Bike that ended up going really well..you'll be putting it on the Bike trailer to take it somewhere next..
😂😂 Might be awhile for that, but glad you brought it up, the bike trailer is being upgraded!! Stay tuned
My 1st Bike was the yellow 1973 GT80. Luved that thing.
Got a series...check it out on a 1980 hope you enjoy it
I got that bike new in 1975 I was 11. Lasted until I was just to big for it and sold it for $200 to an older guy for his kid. Lotta memories

Hope you know it's a 2-stroke oil reservoir now needs bleeding to the oil pump, always use oil and gas to spray, hope it is ok.?
You are alright 👍
Informative and
Entertaining. You
Made my day.
Thank you!!
I had one silver,great little bikes

Thanks for asking but I have actually already sold it.
@@kentuckyyankee no problem, all that matters is that bike got to live on
I think some kids stole it popped it in the dumpster and you showed up before they could get transportation to take off safely with the bike. I can't see any one throwing a bike like that in the trash. 😈
That’s what I’m saying, either staged or your scenario.
I had an 82 dr500 that ran and had all original parts and I gave it away because I was sick of looking at it I recently got into restoring old bikes and kick myself for it all the time so I believe it
Sounds lit it has a bigger rear sprocket instead of the stock 41 tooth sprocket. That's probably why its not hitting 40mph
I don't know about this, nobody throws away a running motorcycle
Didn't run but does now still needs alot of work
Fully torqued!!!
Indeed!
Reminds me of the Salvation Army dirt bike. I hope your Brother understands why you had to miss his wedding lol.
I need to check dumpster in my neighbourhood everyday
Man this would sell for 1200 here in socal, crazy crazy prices
They're high!
NICE
Thank you!
What a find....are you the luckiest guy I know or what....lol
Yes I am!! 😂😂
Ittl be running a bit lean without an air filter
gee ran her so hard in critical condition! this very cool!
Go or Blow!! lol!!

@@kentuckyyankee sweeeet! your'e right!
😮 elle est jolie en plus d'être gratuite !
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
She's BEAUTIFUL.
Great find! I have a few of those. You should stop cranking engines with your hand, my brother broke his arm doing that when the engine kicked back
Thanks .... you are right it did kick back a couple times, I know better just get in a hurry.

If air filter is still out of it, more than likely why its loseing power
DT80? Not GT80?
🤯 Dang it!! I really need to investigate more!!
GTMX 80
Beautiful find, staged or not.
You might hsve seized your bike.😢
Not a GT its an MX
It is!?!?! Dang I will investigate
@@kentuckyyankee yea they sold a trail only version and it was an MX. Same bike, just no lighting coil and no lights.
@@iconatlarge This one has brake light switches someone may have removed parts it also has a place for turn signals. I'm still gonna investigate
@@kentuckyyankee yes they used the same frame and fenders.
It looks like a fake video it's like a fairy tale😂
staged

This doesn't make sense man
I bet It was probably an upset girlfriend who dumped this treasure in the dumpster....
Who else could do such a thing???
Exactly!
