I love the '99 cr250.
2001 Aluminum frame
85-86 but i am a 80s baby lol
when the summer starts, are you going to do some more riding videos? i love 'em!
@@2clappedout477 yes!
Seller seemed like a really nice guy. I love when owners keep a box of parts, manuals, photos and stuff and lets everything go with the bike as a package deal. It's like that stuff belongs with the bike and that's its story so it must be passed to the new owner.
Yeah it's the best
When someone has all that stuff then tried to chisel you for more money, that’s the worst. It’s one thing to sweeten the deal, but when some turkey says “yeah, the manual is another $25”. Bro, are you really going to sell it on eBay?
Love the vids. I’m 44 years old so most of the stuff you buy and work on is stuff I grew up with. And don’t pass up that kx 500 if it becomes available.🇨🇦
Do you Mark sa bean?
Same
Always good to change oil when its milky looking. I would definitely replace that before starting a motor that has sat for some years.
For sure!
Hey how else beside instagram can someone contact you? I have put up messages but they disappear as soon as i put them . i need some help with a bike i have.
Very kind of the buyer to give you all of those extras along with the bike! great come up man!
Guilty blown gasket why the extras
26:44...
That moment when it dawns on you that you just bought someone else's problem...
😔
Nice pipe tho 🤣
@pata fpv I’d buy it right now. That’s an awesome find.
Fill radiator with water then pressure test cooling system if it doesn't hold pressure look for water in transmission and crankcase.
:33 "Pretty clean, pretty nice bike"........we'll see... lol But hey, not knocking him and 100% respect for finding this classic bike and having the time, patience and knowledge to work on it. Definitely doesn't have kids yet lol
It’s always a good day when he posts
for real
I bought a 1993 CR250 in a box, built it from the ground up. Took 4 months to get it on the track and it rips✊✊ i was a four stroke before this bike. Now never going back💙🤗 2 stroke forever 💙
I still think there both good bikes. But that's awesome good job.👍
Two stroke 80s and 90s bikes are awesome
80's honda CR's are the best bikes in my opinion. Keep ahold of it man. They are hard to find.
guy knows so much about bikes but so little about the aftermarket, never heard of yoshimura or cyrca before lol you’re restorations and revivals are the best on youtube right now👍🏼
If he only knew about maintenance and fixing bikes that would be awsome. Such a shame he is doing more harm then fixin on all his bikes...
@@supertedogpriken probably because he does everything on the cheap. he rarely puts money into any of the projects, just gets them going again if he put some money into them and flipped them he’d be on some serious profit
I miss the old cr hondas, cant wait for crs to come out more often
Come out more often ? Are they going to make 2 strokes again ????
@@motokid1492 ya the 2021’s
Truly an extremely awesome deal you got on this one with all those parts along with it!! P.S. JB-Weld will never hold up for more than 'under' an hr on the pipes hairline crack, get it brazed at muffler shop or something so not wasting time gooping it up.
it hold up long enugh for him to sell it to some other poor guy that has to deal with the problems...
@@supertedogpriken JB-Weld working on an area of that vibrational level i would bet would be gone on the 1st ride/1hr.
@@supertedogpriken it’s not a problem…. Anyone buying an old bike like this knows it’s gonna have some issues, this one is in excellent condition
Dude I need to move to your state I cant believe the deals you find just hours from your house thats Awesome.
Yeah, was trying to talk my wife into moving to that area, both before learning about his location because a friend of mine is from around there and he always talked about how great it was and then after learning about all those amazing deals in that state. So far, she is a no-go.
@@27Zangle just move and leave her, job done.
They only get ridden half the year up here in wisconsin.
I appreciate how you take the time on each bike/4/3 wheeler to explain the parts and and problems in great detail.
he does not.... By running the bike 20+ mins with no oil and just coolent all the bearings in the engine are now junk. and they need to be replaced. But he will never say anything about that. he is just gone fix the wather pump, sell the bike to the next guy.. And then the next guy is gone have a destroyd engine in a few rides from him ruining all the bearings in it.
These videos are the best. I could watch him all day long..
You scored man. And I suggest putting a cap full of 2 stroke oil down the cylinder not the wd40 and on 4 strokes that have sit for a while just put atv oil down the plug hole wd40 is only good to put down in a stuck engine.
Seen people do Diesel flushes with their dirtbikes. Something you could consider doing if its coming out milky everytime.
Cool bike alot of extra parts and awesome Riding gear, can't ask for much more than that 👊
Can't wait to see part two of results because same thing happened on 1990 YZ250 Yamaha I used to have, I drain out real good and add fresh oil in it then brought to dealer for trade in new jetski haha!!! Way back in 1994. I didnt want mess with it, I prefer air cool engine.
That would be a bike I’d keep and never sell, has an awesome story. If you do sell it, I’d send the pictures and all with it
Hell yeah that things bad ass mid to late 80s hondas and kawasaki gotta find one I ripped my 96 rm 250 today
Im so glad that you finally got a bike that has some packing left in the muffler! Awesome find 👌
Yeah thank God lol
How u getting on doin ur test rides with ur new neighbours? Looks like a quiet area lol. 💨
Right like when he starts one of the old two strokes in the garage with the door closed you know the neighbors love that
They wouldn’t have to go through the noise if COVID wasn’t happening because now they gotta stay home half the time listening to old 70s, 80’s, and 90’s bikes firing up once again after a long time.
a lot of guys make the mistake of putting the wrong anti-freeze in these bike, anything with magnesium cases needs to use a fluid that is suited for the mag cases. water and magnesium do not work well together. I had a bike with magnesium cases and I pulled the side cases off after every ride in the wet and dried them out, it saved me a lot of head aches. I highly recommend a waterless antifreeze, especially in 4 stokes which tend to run hotter than a 2 stroke.
Yes the CYCRA handguards are awesome, one of the best brands.
Had an 86 cr250, loved that little beast.
in 20 years :
Friend : so what bike do you have???
2vintage : yes
Check oil level by pulling out the 10mm headed screw w/phillips head in it on the side of the case.
For racing that bike needs sport Springs that are four steps up from stock. The rear shock needs a spring that is two steps up from stock. Please bring that, West Virginia Bryce were horribly weak. But once you put in those different spring break Comes Alive. One hell of a good race bike.
Great find! Had me worried when you check spark and compression before checking airbox.
I love it when u hear that rumble before the kick that actually starts it
Now this is my kind of vintage bike nice score
Drill a small hole at the end of the crack to stop it from getting any larger.
Dude nice score. Bikes from the original owner are always nice! All the extras he gave you were badass.
Wow nice bike..Back in the day the 90s..me and my brother found two matching 1986 Honda cr 250s the guy sold them to us for 2000 cash..GREAT BIKES MISS THEM..
I love how this guy always fires em’ up in a closed garage
The left door is opened tho lol
@@kinotroikgames2818 he opened the door after the garage filled with smoke 💨 💨
@@ch-ir8ld yeah he did Lol
Who cares man? A little 2 stroke smoke never hurt anyone.
@@Mr.M1STER it hurt @c h feelings tho
Nice, I used to have a 1980 Cr250, twas a big air cooled beast. Miss that bike.
Just some advice...I know your excited to start it right away but I can not stress enough....CHECK ALL fluids before even trying to start....really surprised it didn't seize.....just my 2 cents...and I didn't mean piston.....crank!
@@Mizman76 He is from the mid west. Should explain everything.
@@anthonybressler4404 he’s a special 1 isn’t he. Gotta admit though I’m addicted to watching the daily episodes of captain clueless lmao
@@shaynedonnelly374 Haha. I don’t watch all of them but every so often I do just for a laugh. You would think after working on so many bikes he would have a clue?
Wrong will not seize the crank with bad tranny fluid!! Crank is lubed with premix in the gas. Learn before talking shite!!
@@anthonybressler4404 ya unfortunately there’s no difference from day 1 to now. Just imagine stumbling onto this channel after you bought a bike off him lmao
Love the vintage 80's 2 strokes. I still have my 85 YZ250 that I've owned since 89.
Remember rev it to the moon remember nice and cold keep it floored
A bike that mint would go for 2500 easy near me
~Same here, if not 3 grand.
*Phone violently shaking in the beginning*😂😂 Nice pick man!
I'm jealous that you can get a bike like that for 1200. Guys would be looking 3 grand for that where I'm from all day.
I'm in Baltimore county md. Yea here you can get some decent deals on nice bikes if u look.
Omg I can't believe you test ran it without new oil! Nice videos, love the dirt bix fixer-upers
Those harbor freight allumiweld rods work really good and would possibly repair the cover. Heat it in a gas grill. Get it hot. Repair it with map gas. And let it cool in the grill
those covers are magnesium not aluminum
@@brinkee7674 Pretty sure they will work on a few non ferrous metals. I think it would work. Don’t quote me though. And yea. Your right 👍
@@sixpacksandsrts9122 Need to be real careful as magnesium is flammable-like white phosphorus type flammable
This summer you should do track videos or more trail riding videos
Hey man, I watch your shows. Just let me know that CR250 is a beautiful bike at 1986. You got a lot of history with it in pictures and photos that's cool
I love that bike, been looking for one for a while.
Its sound how he really puts in effort time money to teach as he goes should have way more subs I subbed right away the 150 dollar barn fi d was on the brink of death and he got it bk to life so sick big shout out from England peace
🇬🇧🙏
there is a right way, a wrong way and there is a 2vintage way. The guy has no clue on what he is doing. He is doing more harm to the bikes then he is fixing them in a proper way. With the bike running for 20+ min with only coolent and no oil the whole engine needs a complete rebuild. All bearings inside the engine needs to be changed to fix it the right way. But he is just gone fix the wather pump, sell the bike and let the next guy deal with the new problem he just made.
Nice box of goodies/spare engine case is sweet
Cycra is definitely a good brand 👍
That’s way cool that the seller sold it with all the graphics and pictures
Nothing ticks me off more than a guy that makes an offer, sight unseen, then shows up trying to negotiate the price a second time. Don't be that guy.
Man the 86 cr 250 i had was fast!! My friend ported it and shaved the head you up the compression!! It felt like a cr 500 trying to kick it over!! Lol
I had just the same year and bike. And same with water in oil. Fix it with new seal and axle. The seal had make marks in axle so i changed both and it was fixed 👍
Great new bike and video😀😎
Old Honda's are great👍
Hey Derek, love your old videos especially the ones with vintage dirt bikes, but you won’t know whether it leaks until you get it started and under pressure. Hope you have a good luck with it
Good bikes joe looks good you will fix it for sure thanks for the vid and happy Easter to you all 👍🔧🔧🔧👌
Happy Easter!
Damn it! you seem to be taking all the good deals! we've got no bike now 😭
I love the CRs..currently have 95 CR250
Nice job Joe, much appreciated!
She’s a screamer man, great work!!
You gotta find a 85 through 87 CR500 cause they were the most powerful engines that Honda made. They all had different engine heads and couple extra different details that made them produce extreme power. One of the years was the best and I’m guessing it was the 86 model. Of course it would be the hardest and most expensive parts to find to restore, but they were beasts and were raced like crazy back in the day.
Don't worry about the brand of hand guards... remove them 😀 water seal needs replacing for sure.
yea it is not like he is gone take the bike out and ride it on the track or in the woods. No need for handguarsd when doing a top speed run. And all the bearings in the engine also needs replacing now ater running the bike for 20+ min with only coolent and no oil...
Hand guards are ok, they're kinda brittle but don't crash don't brake.
There is nothing like that sweet smell of a two stroke!
Dang. Nice bike dude. Interesting deal with the pipe guard id say🤷♂️
Happy Easter 2vintage!😁👍🏻🏍
Happy Easter!
@@2vintage Thanks Mesure! Means boy in French.
I had a 87 cr250 psi pipe it was still a very fast bike
Thats crazy, my number is 6 and i have been looking for a 86 cr250r for about a year. My big brother 13x most favorite bike was an 86 cr and he passed away about a 1 1/5 ago.. Nice bike man...
If you ever want to sell it please let me know. Thanks again.
nice find and they our getting rare to find cool
Found a guy in Phoenix area that can mold and pour new cases and various parts. I know what you mean about those crappy magnesium cases, I've tried tig on them but they are so brittle they rarely hold up. Not sure where guy got them but he came in with an 86 250 and it had a carbon fiber clutch cover with re inforce sluminum bolt holes, very nice!!!
That bolt straight down under the oil fill cap on the case behind the water pump that has a bolt head and philips slot to is how you check your gear oil joe you take that bolt out and fill your oil up until it starts running out that hole then put that bolt back in and wipe the oil off and your oil is full
Could be residual coolant in the trans! I would just do the water pump seal and bearing if the case is good. Flush the trans out with more oil till it's good
There's a reason why you get these boggy bikes so cheap Joe, they all need full rebuilds they need love. Come on mate step it up brother. I'm just jealous that you get all these awesome bikes, here in Australia we would pay double even triple the price. You started it up before the video aey could hear the pipe cooling down...
Don't put oil in, rebuild it ..... I'm done. Good luck mate.
Just learned you could run the transmission on coolant I think that's for performance
Yeah coolant keeps the clutch cool. 😉
As with all 80-88 CR's you come across the outer cover will almost always be corroded if it is magnesium. Never buy a CR of those years without being prepared to repair it or replace it. Not trying to be rude but you cant tell if the reeds have been changed by looking at the intake boot and reed block. Not all aftermarket performance reeds have a new block like Vforce.
Yea them cycra handguards are really good and expecive I have a pair that came on the ltz I bought and dude I love watching your videos they're very educational keep them coming great work 💪👍
Please let the bikes warm up before revving bro, you want a low rpm right before dying out
Love those old honda cr 250 and 125
Once you change the seal. When you put oil back in the engine add some marvels mystery oil it will help take care of the water. It might take few oil changes. Because there is still going to be water inside the case.
Blessed get that kx500 pal absolutely
I bought a 1984 cr 250 on a whim one time. It's the bike I most regret selling.
The screw just below the oil fill, if you pull it out you fill till oil barely starts coming out of that screw hole for future FYI.
There's a special coolant they run in semi's to keep them from dissolving the magnesium I can't think of the brand name but a Volvo semi dealership keeps it on hand when I bought it for for my ATC 250r it was kind of a bluish purple in color
Your on the hunt, and you got another one. I enjoy the videos keep up the good work. I would love to own an old 2 stroke dirt bike.
Let's kick it over. Then check the air filter for mice and whatnot.😂
Damn "upto the dropping oil from sump part" that's funky
love wisconsin hell i need come up there buy a bike from ya find me a cr or kx 500 lol get the 500 ive been looking for one
Good tip is always make sure your kill switch works or at least have the chain on so you can stall it rebuild mine an didn't have the cable ran right reved to the moon on a fresh motors never good 👍
We need a race 86 vs 98 you and Chuck like the old days let her rip
U should never run a bike without draining the old oil first but this one was hard to guess
Cyclamen has a lot of aftermarket stuff. Very good brand.
If he was running it in the winter u might wanna make sure he wasn’t running a hot plug. Suck to burn up a piston
Grab some number plate backgrounds a blue seat cover and proper stock graphics it will be well worth making it look factory.
i been looking for one of these for over a year, if that’s just a quick fox on the water pump it deserves to be fixed up good. best year 86.
you can get the side plates made up with vinyl . yellow ones look better with the blue seat
I had a 1985 cr 125 man it was a fun bike not a big guy so was the right size for me lol🤟
Hey dude! You should take a look for a 2003 rm100! They stopped making them in the 80’s and made them for 1 year in 2003, it’s a fun bike and has loads of torque I have one and it’s probably one of the best bikes I’ve ever ridden. Keep making great content!
Man I always enjoy your videos definitely learn a lot watching these videos never no what your gonna run into buying a dirt bike can’t Waite to see what’s wrong with the 250 next video
