It was a god deal
Cant wait to see what it looks like in like a month
Itll be mint 👌👌👌👌
Good deal
Insane deal, that’s a rare bike. All those Honda’s are desireable and you should restore it
@Derek Gardin a running 86 cr250 is like 2500 where I live it’s a good deal reguardless
Crazy how every bike on craigs list has a top end rebuild. Even the ones that don't run.
Rebuilt top end and hardly ridden?
People are idiots, a new top “I was told” yeh sure
@@bobclap4399 😭
Any body else love the buying and fixing series he’s got going on?
Thats the whole point of the channel
@ facts it’s only what he’s done since like basically day 1 😂
Same
@ no I used to watch this channel years ago and it was basically just him and his brother riding the bikes he was buying and selling. Now the channel is way better due to fixing and showing everything...even the price of what he buys.
Yes he needs more subs
Finally a dirt bike
yeah about time!
Joe I know you’re going to have a kick starter problem because I seen a washer missing when you pulled the case off you will see the surface of the case you pulled off is shiny it needs a thin washer to go up against the kick starter, When you go to kick that bike over it pushes up against the case and without that little washer the gears will skip. I know this because I spent a few hours trying to fix that issue so look on the parts diagram get that little washer I promise you will be happy i told you this!!
Good call Karl
Thrust washer.
It's been years since I've worked on a bike, but the way this dude breaks them down piece by piece and explains every step, I just love to watch it. So interesting.
I purchased a 1990 CR250r for $700 that had been sitting in a barn for years, previous owner had it for 18 years. Still have the bike, plan on doing a full restoration
Nice find Joe. Those old Cr's were almost dangerously fast. Hopefully you can whip it back into shape and take it for a rip and maybe race it against your newer one.
One cool ride I had two back in the 80s 😂😂💖
Finally a dirtbike😍
That waterpump isnt bad at all those old hondas usually get all messed up from the coolant from sitting because the case is made from magnesium not aluminum
Finally you bought an interesting bike instead of those boring 4 stroke quad things
My first dirt bike was an 85 cr250, loved that thing. Best $500 I ever spent lol. Really wish I would have kept it though.
Bike I had for years. Loved it. My cr500 did try to kill me many times. Lol. Much respect
Lol..ya those cr 500 were crazy..A REAL MANS BIKE..I USE TO RIDE THE 1986 AND 88 CR 250..MY BUDDY HAD THE CR 500 AND THE YZ 490...BACK IN THE GOLDEN DAYS..55 AND STILL ALIVE. WINNIPEG CANADA
Just started watching your videos , I really enjoy watching them every night after a long day at work ! This is prob one on my favorite ones so far !
I don't ride motorcycles, I've had old Vespas though, I just like mechanical stuff and making things work again.....for some odd reason I just love watching these videos, so thanks!
You've come a long way Joe. You're taking the time to diagnose problems instead of just making starting it up your main priority. You never know what's lurking in these mystery motors. Good job. By the way, if that water pump shaft has any slight grooves in it, I'd order that up as well as the seals because an old shaft will just destroy the new pump seals. Have fun.
I have a 84 Cr 80 and a 99 250r ha can’t beat the old Honda 2 smokers 🔥🔥
Yes bro allready subscribed y aint u posted anything
@@1991enduro ye hopefully il get a video up soon bud 🙏🏻
@@dublinbikereire good man
Damnnnnnnn!!! I scrolled down the comments because there’s normally a cpl utube mechanics spewing hate. None!! Not in the first 20-30 anyway. Finally, useful commentary that is positive and people can learn from. Can’t wait to see u dig into an old Honda!!
Tour gonna need an after market two piece clutch case and water pump that case is trash bud great find 🤘🏻🇺🇸
i watched a few other channels ,there's ones he repairs but does'nt show what he does 1000 000 subs,so i guess thats what people want, i love this channel i enjoy learning
finally a dirt bike, be defo looking at the parts fische as that kickstart is
missing a washer and that split thrust washer on the clutch doesn’t make any sense( although i have not built a Honda yet).
sure you can get this looking good
with a load of time and cash. from what i see with hondas they always go crusty round the water pump magnesium covers don’t like
water and antifreeze
My uncle used to have 1985 cr 500 was such a beast
Everyone loves Wiseco.
I was 15 had too take 4 buses to get my piston rings,
Obviously 1 trip to order another too pick up. I have always used Wiseco but man I gotta say there’s nothing like the abuse the stock piston can take.
Finally a bike that's perfect for you. A Honda cr250 from the 80s.
Awesome video thanks for sharing buddy I'm in the UK and was brought up racing and riding these 2 strokes bikes back in the 80s and 90s now I'm 50 yrs old I watch my grandkids ride and I try to fix and repair there bikes 👍👏👏
The geezer knows his way round any dirt bike brilliant footage bro
I have a 1985 CR125 I restored and use for Vintage hare scrambles and track freeriding! They definitely need a spring upgrade from race tech old bikes were soft!
Very nice cheap honda cr 250 old school and god bless
I have 2 crs -1, my 85, i kept my 89. my 85 was a beast, it hit really hard on the low end, it shifted pretty darn good, and the suspenders were pretty good for the time. I put on 86 cartrage forks and it rode like a dream. I had some bills to pay so I sold it to a buddy, that odd device you saw under the water pump is for your automatic torque amplification chamber, Atac for short. Hang on to it, they are collecting in value. Good finde bruh!
Even though as a retired U.S. Army mechanic I would love to find a CR project and learn how to learn 2 stroke rebuilds 😊
I love watching your fix up vids in between my person projects gives me more motivation. Keep on it with the good videos. Ps wd40 not the best for lubeing a piston, its not really a lubricant best off with oil like you said.
i had a 1985 cr250 i bought off a buddy for $20 it was a basket case i fixed it all up ordered a running engine on ebay for like $150 not knowing if it ran or not if i remember right and it ended up running great i had like 300 or 400 bucks in it i loved that bike and would always love to get one again one day i love the honda atac engine and they only did 1985 and 1986. 85 had rear drum brakes and 86 had disc front and rear.
Pliers ? Whats next ? A Pipewrench to torque the headbolts ?

I have been taking care of her!
Honda has some of the smoothest clutches of the MX bikes
The more beat up the bike the more fun the episodes in my book!

My God buddy the things you can do with these quads and bikes are amazing I have not seen you give on one yet I absolutely love your channel I will keep watching for a long time keep up the amazing work!
Yes finally a cr250 again
that was my ride back in the day,lots of fun good memories.
These old bikes are fun to fix up but can be hard to find parts for. I'm rebuilding a 1986 CR80 right now and getting stuff for it was a bit of a challenge
Cool bike. I had a 86 250 CR that I got a teen in 97.
The 1985 was a good year. The motor has a very strong low end torque.
A nice classic bike can’t beat em old Hondas
Having the same issue on my 1995 Cr250r the kick starter gears are slipping so bad it does not starter easy anymore, Joe the slipping is occurring back behind the mechanism where the ratchet gears are. That is what is slipping, the tips of the teeth get rounded off and causes it to slip
Finally a dirt scoot ;)
Time to buy some new windshield wipers my guy.
you can add water and put in freezer it will pop dents out i tried it on a steel dirt bike gas tank and worked for me but be careful i had a older cr250 like that one but it had kick stator on left side of bike was weird to kick over great old bikes nice find
The 86 was my favorite. But this ones still great
I have a 1984 CR250R that i fixed the water pump with jb weld, its a good bike in the local vmx!!!!!
Nice video bro 👌🏻. I will be watching this build
I swear. All the good vintage bikes are on the West coast Or all the hoarders grab them up!. Either way! Last YR i could have gotten a 1-Owner Orig 1974 Suzuki TM400 (Cyclone) Widow-Maker Bike for $400. It even ran! Haven't found one since & before that I hadn't seen one for sale in over 5 YRs. Man. I just want another Matching Suzuki TM for my 1974 250 Racer. Anyone in the Ohio, MI, Indiana, Wis area got one? As Much as I love 2-Stroke. It's just not the same when you got a Radiator in, MonoCrap (Shock), and a plastic tank. I love the Ironman Class Wayyyy too much!
Long time follower here and very happy seeing the dirtbike content back. But I was hit with so many ads it made it tough to watch. Hope you get paid for that!!
Popcorn 🍿 in hand with this bike 👀
I have a 1982 CR250R, its a wicked bike,
cool videos,i also have a 81 cr 125,,and a yamaha 200 electric im working on...89 yamaha 175...good job.
That coolent pipe is a common failure because the cases are magnesium. People use the wrong coolant and they rot away. RRC Restorations had a good series on this which just finnished.
Where do you find body’s for the bikes?? I have a 1994 250 dirt bike and I can’t find body parts anywhere
Can’t wait for this build
Those 85 through 87 Honda CRs were notorious for the water pump case cover corroding because they are made out of magnesium and minerals in the water just destroy them. There's a guy in the UK that makes aluminum ones.
Bruh, you called the bike of my teenage years vintage. That cuts deep !!!
Not at all bro old school.is the cool school always will be vintage is number one in the sun
I recently saw a race on a track a little well back a 490 yz agenst a old school cr 500 I coulnt.believe my eyes the cr woul let the yz sneak up.on on him.as soon aS he got a little close the cr woud take off on the yz on the back wheel every one was shocked we all thought the yz was twice as fast as the old stock CR guess not this time
finally your getting dirt bikes now
Take a close look at that clutch pressure plate. It looks like it has made contact with the engine cover, but there's no damage to the screws. New screws? If so, what happened? I see there's a new gasket that appears not to have been in use in a running engine for more than an hour or so. The spring was probably re installed incorrectly by the last guy to work on it. It makes me want to know what he was repairing. Curious. I still think you have a great bike for what you paid for it. Especially as you are a competent mechanic and are capable of doing your own work.
I don't know about a good deal 🤔, but definitely is going to be a fun/interesting video !!
Thank you buddy , keep it up 👍
Both crankshaft bearing seals must be damaged, and that affects any 2 stroke engine compression
I have a 1989 cr250 bought from my neighbor for 250$ running driving
Probably almost 20 years ago i had a good running 1985 CR250 i sold for 800 bucks. I knew I should of held onto in
I remember riding those when they were new. Damn I'm old!
Half a click up when in first is neutral right? My 96 CR 250 was anyway
Let’s go a dirt bike
And it’s a Honda!😇
Sweeet hope it all works out good, mate of mine got the CR 80 1982 when we where kids and he still has it. He's 52 years old and didn't fix it for his own son he just got his son a new bike. Figure that hey.
😎👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
"they're really fun to work on"
I wish all mechanics had your attitude
Have u ever worked on a 250 Elcenoir? I love watching u work on bikes, I has learned so much.
Whens the tecate rebuild dropping🤨
Free Great Advice. I ben at a Honda/Yam/Suz shop 4 almost 25yrs. lke Ive said B4. least 80ty percent of those parts are DISCONTINUED FROM HONDA NOW‼ the cases has ben Discontinued I no since 2002. I buy old bike like tht & make a KILLING just sitting on it parting it out. FREE ADVICE. From a life long Motorcross Head
I said they was discontinued too
Cylinders are hard to get I know that for sure
@@1991enduro if a person has the money & time 2 wait in parting old CR's & YZ's Out. like his 85 u can always ATLEAST DOUBLE $$ than investing alot $$ in bikes like tht. Thts my opion. I've Ben in motorcross 4 ovr 40yrs. I've learned lol bit. Expeasly when it involves $$$$ Wick On ✊
@@staygold902 yep atleast 80ty percent of parts u wont get frm Honda & bout 65 prcnt of parts aftermarket is Discontinued 2. ths is NO kidding or bragging lst year I made over 15 thousand $$ profit on old CR's & YZ's part outs. Could u not SLEEVE ur Cylinder. Wth like Wisceo or LA SLEEVE
Ye u allways go for a resleeve my mates got a 96 kx 125 or round that year think he cud find a stator no chance lucky we had one used from down the road ish and John thomas ye u know ur shizz
finnaly some dirt bikes
get yourself some marvels mystery oil for down the cylinder. wd40 is not a good choice for that
Not surprising it needs all that work, I had some friends that bought these new in 1985, they just THRASHED the poor things from the get go.
Hey buy a zoom spout bottle on Amazon. They come with sewing machine oil in them.there is a little hose that you pull out of the bottle thats like 6 inches long .great for putting gas in carb
You need the new cover and water pump shaft + seal. Any pits and or corrosion in water pump seal area will cause the seal not to seal correctly and coolent will leak into trans oil. Take a close look at that used cover for pitting and corrosion if there is don't buy it . Buy the brand new one. That case is made from magnesium known to corrode and not seal. Flush radiators out. Install new bottom end crank seals. One is on the flywheel side and one is behind that main gear on clutch side . I would not trust old seals. That spark is weak you need to clean the pickup behind the flywheel. And all connections. That carburetor on the bike is a keihin 36mm or 38mm flat side power jet. The one in the parts box is the stock carburetor. The carburetor on the bike is the better carburetor. That spark plug didn't look lean ,it looks newer like someone cleaned it and put it back in. because they couldn't get the bike to run, weak spark. I think someone rebuilt it and couldn't get the bike to run then it sat for years. You should just do a complete restore of the bike ,repaint , rebuild the forks + shocks and new linkage and swingarm bearings . Make it mint the right way
I certiatly do..it has to be old crusty and 2 stroke its even more exhilarating when it comes back to life the 2 stroke kick the blue leaving the tail.pipe watching how fast the tack jumps and the front end lifts fast oh yea baby love my 2 stokes.u dont get none of that with a four stroke no buzz no smell boaringggg
I never clicked on one of your videos this fast since the kx500.
wise words from joe.
chain is there suspension is there... yea mate that are parts taht make a bike work
funny one you are
You should keep your eyes out for a little CR60. I picked one up in April and it’s being restored, those little rockets bring like $3k in good condition.
Were you holding it WOT when comp testing i didn't notice?
By the looks of those foot pegs it's got a ton of hours on it!! Should clean up nice tho👍👍
That washer was broken! Weird, never seen one broken like that. Please don't reuse it. I think there was a serious problem and the last guy tried to repair it without splitting the cases. I think you may have to do so to find out what is wrong with the transmission. Might just be pieces of old clutch basket caught between the gears. I'm liking this project more every moment.
Entered my comment before seeing the shifter disengagement. Someone's been in there and had not re assembled things correctly. The spring, the shifter, the washer, and the missing spring and check ball that holds the kick starter in the closed position. Those two missing parts tells me that the bike may have been disassembled for more than a few days and some parts were lost.
Restore that babe like the Cr80.
Awesome I have the 84 cr250
Nice!
the reason why its not going into gear is most likely because he tried shifting it with the clutch cover off. if you look in the bottom left corner of the clutch side case you can see the shift shaft come through, you need to pop it back into the right place somehow.
Update that to the 2 piesce clutch cover . Those 85/86/87 CR’s were notorious for Radiator / water pump corrosion. As soon as you added coolant it would almost instantly develop a charge like a battery 🔋 because the metals in the system didn’t like each other . It would eat the housing and clutch cover by the water pump then leak all remaining coolant into trans and overheat motor etc .! That bike is definitely worth saving !
I have an 88 and same story, it was really bad I had to buy a new side cover
Damn. I was just gonna buy that! Lol. Hope you have fun with it
Great bike i had one in the mid 90s but mine was an 84 👍
Finally a bike video
I had a 83 I think it was the kickstart was on the left side and chain was on the right. I never saw a bike like that before
My dads 86 cr 125’s water pump rotted on the inside of the case and we can’t find a new one it sucks. but the cases for that year also get soft.
Ah, so you’re the reason I can never get good deals on stuff you’re in my area buyin it all lol. Just kidding lovin the videos
Now we're talkin..nice score!!! Watch TNT on youtube..hes perfectly restored some old hondas to mint condition!!! 😃👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I watch him too team honda
Keihin was the stock carb for the 85 CR250
@2vintage ive got a 84 cr 125 fires up but having trouble with the clutch any tips from i woukd help
