We have made it. In this video we are putting our work to the test with the first start up of the XL185s motor we overhauled just a few months back.
With just a few more things to button up, let's see how we did on this fresh rebuild.
This year (2024) will be attending the "Mid-Ohio Vintage Days" event over in Lexington, Ohio. Would love to see anyone there who has been a supporter of the channel to shake your hand!

Your ability to create your videos has also been excellent - explaining what you do and why. Plus, listening how you analyse the problems and fix the problems is a masterclass in keeping our bikes humming. Thank you as ever.
Thanks for the compliments man. 🤙🏻
I have to completely AGREE!!! I have a 1980 xl185s that eerily is almost in the same condition as the one in this rehab job! I really wish I had someone like you to help me get it back running??? I'm here in West Central Florida / Tampa Bay area in case you know anyone?? Thanks!
Also, can you provide the replacement battery info for the xl185s please??
Great video's Cody, watched the whole series, love it!
Good man! Inspiring.. Looked a little bit like that bike in first blood,expect that was a Yamaha I believe.😎 like your dog, bro. Greatings from Holland!
Great project! Now,. If there's any one could get that nest inside the head bucket sorted,. I believe it will be you!.. 👍😃
Awesome brings back memories I had a 82 xr 200 back in the day good times
Excellent series. Thank you for making this
🤘🏻🤘🏻
Loved these bikes back in the day, really good off road ride.
Hi Cody, thanks for your very detailed and instructive videos. Best ones out there. I have this same bike and was told I needed to adjust the pulse rotor-to-generator gap, as per the manual. I’ve been unable to find the manual online. Can you please share what that gap value is for this bike? Thanks!
Good afternoon, could you help me with the following. Should the advancer and pulser be aligned when the steering wheel reads T or F? Thank you
I have a 1981 xl185 that has a spinning speedmoter, but the odometer works. I'm not sure what the problem is, do you have any suggestions?
GREAT VIDEO SERIES CAN U pOST reply WhERE THE 198o XL WIRING HARNESS CONNECTS IVE GOT ALL EXEPT NO KEYSWICH OR GUAGES AND no guages but have coil and all that the honda dealer closed and it has theres a few black rectagles and a few light color rectangles and somthing with like a plastic thing shaped like a sparkplug

That's SO AWESOME that You'll be making it to the Vintage motorcycle days up in Lexington this year Cody! My wife and I,along with my 12 yr. old son have been going to that event for years! And Always enjoy seeing and hearing those vintage bikes racing around that track each year! What an event! So I truly hope to meet You and have a chance to shake your hand,as I've been following YOU on RUclips here,for years also! As we BOTH own and ride identical Black Honda CB750's! So I look forward to seeing You there this year! LOVED watching You get this thing running again,and Oh your poor doggie,who just wants to be played with! Lol. Haha,as always Cody,great video! : >)
Cody, can you do a quick review of the electrical system? I want to make sure all my connections are accurate. The electrical diagram is challenging to read through and make sure it's exact.
Dude that bike sounds absolutely amazing!! How come you used 2 stroke oil to lubricant the advance ?? Great video as always !
Great series mate, ill be tearing down and doing a full rebuild of at least one of these bikes, so this series has been invaluable. I have two available to me (for free!) One was dads old bike that he's had from new since 1981 which has sat for the better part of 3 decades but is complete, which I want to get running and restore for him. The other is a great donor bike for a project, missing most of the fenders and lights but should make for good bones for a more custom bike.
Hello Cody, could share your thoughts on what is faulty in my bike its a 125cc Yamaha, problem am getting is it lacks power when climbing a gentle slope even with full throttle you can't feel the power of fuel burning inside the engine, but when going down the slope you can feel the bike accelerate and happy. I have cleaned the carb exchanged it with another and no different results. Just to let you know it doesn't have starting or idling issues. Any help or ideas on where to check much appreciated
your dog wanted to play frisbee with you......🤣
this video is perfect, all the info i was looking for, thank you sooo much
Sir how to identify is it honda xl 125 cc or 185 cc?
bike sounds amazing Cody.
😉🤙
🙏🏾🇯🇲
👍🏻
I think that engine came together quite nicely especially from where it began! I look forward to the final final riding video but thank you for sharing all the details you did! Take care!
There will be one! I still have a laundry list of small silly stuff to knock out before she hits the pavement 🤙🏻 thanks for watching!
