robert coates lol he just rebuilt the whole motor, it’s gonna take time for the fuel to get into every nook and cranny of the carburetor, the reeds, ect. There’s not even any oil in the top end yet technically that’s why when he starts it it revs so high it’s running lean yet because like i said, it’s brand new top end hasn’t seen any fuel yet
Awesome series of videos dude. Excellent quality and very informative. Definitely a huge help for the less experienced in the dirt bike community. Thank you
good work man.. only one thing... when u were putting back the engine into the frame i cried a little bit... that frame could use some rubbin and maybe additional love, man. :D btw. i expected spongebob cut "one eternity later" screen when u tried to kickstart.
After I retired I got hooked on buying older MX bikes and redoing them, every last piece. They all turned out great but it sure isn't worth it for resale, parts cost way too much, so I no longer do it. But I miss doing it. Cool vids.
Diedrich, awesome video series again. Highly informational and educational, but best of all for me inspirational. I decided to take on a bike of my own after watching you. Thanks.
I came across your channel a few weeks ago. Watched all your vids and have been waiting to see this one! Great content!!! I really would like to see more of these build series. Can’t wait for the next one! Keep up the good work!
The bike is sweet! I personally would have cleaned the frame and pipe before putting it back together.I would have had a pair of riding boots on when kick starting it,probably would have been easier to start. LOL,just a suggestion.
Wut year is your KX250? I have a 99 KX250 and I was thinking about doing a full rebuild,I tried to start it but it won"t start,it doesn"t have any compression so again,,I"m gona end up rebuilding the whole motor.I would like to put a newer style front fender and number plate from a newer KX450 on it though.
When you start up a bike you don’t give anything throttle but only a slight touch. The reason your bike wasn’t startling is because you let on opening the throttle. The only time you open the throttle wide is when you drop the bike because it’s flooded.
Whenever possible tighten the nut and hold the bolt, I've watched you do it the wrong way a few times maybe it's just a bad habit you picked up along the way. Not criticism just advice.
And a top you gotta find top dead center Everytime u kick it don't just wait for the starter to clock find the heaviest part on the rotation and click one over will fire right up looks like you were trying to start at random points
Overall, not a bad rebuild,..It was nice to see you invested in specialty tools, but you missed many important aspects of a "clean" engine rebuild....I loved the videos....I was looking for actual tourque and number spec, the use of loctite, wrist pin clip location, clutch basket filing, maybe some piston measurement and what bore are you on etc. There are a lot of people watching and taking advise, so just provide some facts with your rebuild...
Should have bought number decals made for dirt bikes. The ones he used are made for a mail box or a garage sale sign. First bike wash is gonna blow them off.
Nice video bro good job on the field don't mind the haters on that kick sometimes it's a bitch to kick them my 88 CR500 I had to strap it to something so I can stand up on it and kick it you could say it had a little bit more compression than a little 250
Actually a 250 like this bike will generally have more compression, even more so than a 500. This 250 could see as high as 220psi of compression but around 190psi would be in the normal range give or take depending on condition of motor. Cr500 would be in the 150psi range and could be higher around 170. It's not the compression that gets you when kicking the 500. I have a 1986 cr500 myself.
new subscriber men, I like your videos its an inspiration it makes me want to go at US because here in my country its quite impossible to get that motorcycle at that price.
love the build but dude you gotta get the servicable items first plastics make it look nice but id sooner have a old bike as mint runner instead of a good looking paper weight but as i said LOVE the build keep up the good content and cant wait for the next1
Great video series. Leaves so many questions.. you live in Italy? It's great to see a whole build in detail to see what's possible on the cheap. Bike looks great.
Everything was going so well.....Until I watched you try and kick it.
Braylon a boy or girl name or both?
Braylon Boone top dead center.. that’s the trick
Tfue it is for two strokes sorry m8
i no i was thinking the same thing did he do something rong i was told walk away from a bike if it will not start in 3 kicks
robert coates lol he just rebuilt the whole motor, it’s gonna take time for the fuel to get into every nook and cranny of the carburetor, the reeds, ect.

The number choices tho haha
Joe guy, dick
joe guy I agree. Like the twelve years olds who draw pot leaves on their school text books. Cringe.
Nathan Sciarone nothing beats 69
Only thing cringe is these grown ass men bitchin an moanin about a number 😂 Fuckin snow flakes
KYB 420 right there’s a solid chance they rock their favorite pro riders number like their pro 😭
Very nice, love to see there's still some people who like to fix bikes, instead of destroy them
Bro, that bike is a helluva looker now. Love the old school 2 strokes
This guy is one of the best youtubers out there, love this dude's content
Jose Mendoza just wished he posted more
why cuz he sucks at working on bikes and puts gay ass cringe numbers on his bike like 420
hes really good and 100% knows how to kick start his bikes also
Awesome series of videos dude. Excellent quality and very informative. Definitely a huge help for the less experienced in the dirt bike community. Thank you
At the end when he’s trying start it nice number 420 🍁🍁🍁
good work man.. only one thing... when u were putting back the engine into the frame i cried a little bit... that frame could use some rubbin and maybe additional love, man. :D
btw. i expected spongebob cut "one eternity later" screen when u tried to kickstart.
Bro, you need to work them little legs out.
Aye
420 eh... Bike turned out real nice. Good save. I have a 94 KX250, love the two smokers.
Mixin' gas n slappin' ass
I use engine assembly grease instead of two stroke oil, helps out when you go through heat cycles on a fresh rebuild.
"Lifter arm" "dowel thing" epic

Good job on the rebuild, with a forged piston make sure you warm the bike up before hammering on it. Sounds sooo goooood.
Good series, thanks I liked! This Kawii is really good! Hello from Russia!
I came across your channel a few weeks ago. Watched all your vids and have been waiting to see this one! Great content!!! I really would like to see more of these build series. Can’t wait for the next one! Keep up the good work!
Powder coat frame, repack exhaust, change swingarm bushings, be a brand new one, maybe wheel bearings to.
Great restoration on a vintage classic, keep up the good work.
With kick starting my kx I found pushing just past the exhaust port (hear the puff out the exhaust) and then kicking from the top works best
Moving back to America? Hell yeah i can smell some good video incoming
You can smell videos?
Definitely love the rebuilds of the bikes 100% subscribing to see more!
The seat cover you took off of it didn’t look bad in my oppinion
Your video helped me do a complete rebuild , thanks for being a great teacher
8:36 haha shes all like: you love that bike more than me
Watching him try to kick the bike over is painful 😂

10:08 what kinda wimpy kick is that😂😂 no offence man I do love the videos but c'mon man🤘😝🤘
That's what happens when a full grown man wears Skinny jeans...He grows a Vagina....
When you start up a bike you don’t give anything throttle but only a slight touch. The reason your bike wasn’t startling is because you let on opening the throttle. The only time you open the throttle wide is when you drop the bike because it’s flooded.
The numbers on the bike look terrible
johnsn10 ye I’m surprised he wasn’t childish enough to put 69
Ya lol
Lol I feel like it kinda ruins the bike a bit

do a cr250 build! Love the content!
You should’ve take the 15 minutes to repaint the frame
Straight up kicking it like my little sister😂

420 baby!!!
Smokin blunts and doin wheelies😁
That corgi kinda thicc 9:10
clearing a jump -thats a whole new thing too

Just saw these vids. You guys did a great job! Just listen to all the jealousy lol. thx so much for sharing.
Love seeing an old 2 smoker come back from the dead, but pick some normal #'s for the plates and work on your kicking skills man lol
Alot of Monday morning quarterbacks in your comments but all in all you did a great job..most of em probably couldn't even change the clutch plates 😂
Pit booth feet on the pegs when starting on the stands it’s a lot easier with your body weight.
Love the 420 plates
I just got a kx250. I plan on doing a rebuild and tearing it down but how do u stay organized
What a good video and a good looking dirt bike. Great Job!
the bike looks so clean
The bike looks really good all done. 💪
Great looking bike 👍
Good job, i really was waiting for the final assembly.
Keep up the good work and i really hope you will make more build series !!!
Really loved this build especially the last two where you talked in the video instead of recording it afterwards
Don’t know how to start dirt bike lol
Would you like some help there
lol brand new piston gonna take time to start
Awesome videos! Love these projects. Ktm 250 or 300 project would ne awesome
You watch h3h3... you are beautiful thank you for being alive
I like your style of videos👌 Bike turned out great!
I'm as green as that bike great job
Gd video....... Struggled kicking it over though..... With trainers on Ooooooooo!!
A KX500 would be an awesome build!!!
Nice video bro good job on the field don't mind the haters on that kick sometimes it's a bitch to kick them my 88 CR500 I had to strap it to something so I can stand up on it and kick it you could say it had a little bit more compression than a little 250

Brilliant well done!
Good job on the bike I don't know why everybody's so worried about the way you're taking the bike over
Wow the bike looks almost brand new! awesome job bro!
Your bike looks so good! Your dogo is cute
Fantastic job.
Do a ktm project bike next 👍
You’re pretty damn brave kick starting that in those shoes
i used to kick over and ride my 94 kx250 with crocs😂
You go for a holiday but end up doing a build series! 👌👌👌
Haha I love the metal cover of the Nintendo wii song😂
Watch all episodes, love the rebuild. But, why no clean the engine properly? It’s all absolut the details.. 😎
10:20 Yousa gonna break and gouge up the kick starter doing it like that
Make a vintage bike would be so cool to see
420😂😂 could've never thought of that! Definately gonna use that some Day!
like the other day and the day be for that and that
Green, monster energy, 420, fmf shorty. Yup sounds about right
Bike came out great nice job 👍👌
Sick number plate bro 😂🤘
It looks sick
Never seen your other videos til now but since we both have loafs of bread I gotta sub
Are those clutch plates dry?? If so big no no, always soak them prior to installing
Dry Clutch . Rear Wheel isn't supposed to move when in neutral. This soy boy needs to stay in Italy riding a vespa
You should’ve showed us how you did the seat so good 🚬👀💨 🍺🍺
new subscriber men, I like your videos its an inspiration it makes me want to go at US because here in my country its quite impossible to get that motorcycle at that price.
Just found the channel, really enjoying your build series!
love the build but dude you gotta get the servicable items first plastics make it look nice but id sooner have a old bike as mint runner instead of a good looking paper weight but as i said LOVE the build keep up the good content and cant wait for the next1
That intro is brilliant😂
We have the same watch
You have great taste in watches
I'm rebuilding a 2003 KX125 right now and I'm a police officer. My plate is going to be 5-0........I'll chase you around the track, 420. LOL
Love the bike, thing looks like it could destroy worlds. Will you be restoring that 2 stroke you got for free in the near future?
Bike looks SWEET! Would have liked to see old school graphics tho
Great video man and I love the build by the way keep it up 👌
Nice..wish we was buddy's...love the # plate 420
Nicely done!
ya work on your bike starting skills
The intro is awesome
Like the videos. But why do you call the connecting rod a lifter arm it drives me nuts.
All that bike needs to be complete is a full pro circuit system
Great videos. Super funny. do an alloy yz 125!
Nice brutha, My kx 125 bored over 134 has gold excel rims 💪
Did you just sell this bike with the week? I'm almost positive I seen it for sale on Oklahoma city Facebook buy sale trade
Great video series. Leaves so many questions.. you live in Italy? It's great to see a whole build in detail to see what's possible on the cheap. Bike looks great.
If you set the stroke to TDC you’ll almost turn her over first kick 100% of the time
