Buy a engine for it
Great vid,u cant save them all fella,but its great to try,and great to watch,at least u can part it out and move on to the next👍
Where the water pump shaft sits in the case looks bad
@@titletownclowns1545I was going to part it out, but I already sold the whole bike.
I want you to build this engine. I mean, we all know it's not worth it, but I want to really see what you can do when you build a really sweet bike. Like, powder coat the frame, make it look like a new type of deal. It's a shitbike already. You're only going to make your money back or a few hundred dollars exta anyway. Why no challenge yourself? I want to see you challenge yourself. I don't want every video of the project, so do like 1 week of project bike and the next one you find and back and forth. Do you burn us out.
I would buy it for 300 bucks also just to make a video. I enjoyed watching this for sure.
Just for fun and to see what's behind the cases. And what this engine & Co has endured and what the weaknesses are.
In this case : WILL IT RUN or WILL IT BLEND !!?? :)
Regards.
Depends on how much it costs to rebuild the entire motor plastics tires etc I'd imagine getting this bike back basically new would cost around 2 grand which wouldn't be a terrible deal considering you would know everything that needed to be is new and not going out buying a used bike and having to take a chance on it being a dud lol and costing ya loads more cash than ya bargained for 😂 Bikes are like boats and will all know what boat stands for

I love the early 90s dirtbikes with their retro styling. Once you get her cleaned up and running, I’d love to see you put the original graphics on it and clean the frame up. It would look amazing! Great buy, great video, as always! 🤙
Added that before I saw the insane amount of rust and engine damage. Yeah unfortunately I would part it out as well unless I had another yz250 project then I would make 1 good runner from both of them
retro styling was objective and functional. Not this abstract art from a transformers cartoon with arrow tips, (that not even the artist can explain), with a front fender that looks like a mechanical broken bird beak, and a rear fender that is so tall, pointing in the air, that you can't get a boot over it with out kicking it if you are 6 foot 2.
The 80's and half the 90's were "the age of reason" in MX. The crap we ride today, (sans how good a 4-stroke does hook up to the ground), is 100% dysfunctional. The entire industry is so irrationals today,---you guys are racing with a freestyle bar set up---and you can't corner worth a crap with out a berm. There was a MX movie in 1986 called "Winner takes all" (on YT), and that ugly 'Hurricane bike" is your modern styling today. I did a lot of plastic surgery on my 2019 YZ250 2-stroke, to make it a rational machine, instead a pile of worthless abstract art. That junk belongs in the garbage, like your handle bar set up. :)
Man that bike has been thru it, wow!! Your earning it with this one buddy. Great content as always, ive learned a fair amount just from watching you do what ya do so thank you!!
Next time you get a locked up dirt bike motor, with no oil in it. Try filling the bottom end with diesel and letting it sit for a little bit. sometimes it will free stuff up so its easier to take apart.
Another nice find Joe 👍🏼 my dad had one of these for a short time when I was a kid, it still remains to be one of the fastest MX bikes I've ever ridden! Just saw you're parting it, shame its not savable.
Wow, free crankcase stuffing from mother nature. Lol. Looking good Joe. Like your bench and the reflective white paint. That doorway you created too!
It angers me that you get such good deals on bikes where I live I couldn't even buy a bag of bolts for a YZ250 for $300
I hear you on this one. I'm in Massachusetts and bikes are expensive here even in this condition people would want around $1200. I been looking for years for a cheap project bike or quad and still haven't found one
HAHAHA Garage is looking awesome brother. Well earned, well deserved!
I love these random bikes u purchased, makes for a great episode.😁🤟🏾
always amazed on how you find the positive on some of these hooptys ya buy n fix n im amazed they actually run takes alot of patience
Wow, we’ve winched sleds out of the water after the ice melts in the spring and the motors didn’t look that bad inside!
Dude i enjoyed this video a lot, ive been burned buying bikes like this or trying to get a cheap bike ripping and its always fun to watch and do myself. Wish i had the time now to work on stuff like this again
This bike is to the meat I’m at the beginning of the video if you get this running by the end or get it running soon your the goat bro !
Damn bro you be getting some beautiful dirt bikes and vintage. It’s amazing what you do bro. Keep up the good work
Why don’t you concentrate on like x2 builds, and complete them,rather than a new one every episode just lately,as we want to see the build from start to finish 👍🏻
i think he waiting on parts
Fax
Because that’s what he wants to do
I'm a fan of the vintage yz250 can't wait to see you get this up and running.
I'm about three quarters through and it ain't looking good at all. I give it up to you brother you will buy and tackle the worst of the worst. Much luv.
Man, either you’re really lucky finding and scoring these great deals on the regular or you’re exaggerating the deal a bit. Either way, good for you. I enjoy watching.
A deal? A rust bucket locked up mouse nest is a good deal? That thing might not even be worth $300.🤣🤣 I can't imagine the cost it would take to restore this bike to be nice.
The vine growing on the frame confirms that bike sat outside for YEARS.
and also by looking at the engine
probably sitting outside 10+ years
I love vintage bikes and have owned a fair share of them over the years. I was beginning to think it had been in a flood. Its a shame it was left outside. do you have a impact driver? it would have been very useful taking off that ignition cover. they last forever, I have the same one I bought 50 years ago. though i must admit I have had to replace the bits twice over the years, still something every bike mechanic should have in their tool box. love the videos
So wish I could find a decent bike for 300 in the U.K. 😳🤦🏼♂️😂😂 another little gem from back in the day
Had loads of good bikes for 300quid you just gotta know where to look
Depends where in the country you are. Down here (south east) it's almost impossible to get more than a roller for 300 👎 even the crashed ex delivery Peds are ridiculously high priced..
Up north and Wales seems to be cheaper and more choice of dirt bikes and tourers etc
@@MaNNeRz91 I'm in Folkestone I picked up vfr800 for 280 and a fzr1000 for 300 got a ybr on 7k miles for 150 full history and one owner from new I know these are road bikes but if ya make a grand on something you paid 300 for and buy something you want then technically that would be a 300quid bike too
@@jordansbikes819 my problem is I'm looking for 125 or 172 registered as a 125. I haven't done my test yet and I want an off-road bike to ride the green lanes and bi-ways around Kent. If there weren't so many po po about on the trails I'd risk a bigger and more suited bike but Id rather keep it all legit and registered etc. I haven't looked at road bikes either but all the ones local to me are ex courier bikes or in absolute shambles. If I found a decent bike I'd jump on it though. I need something to tinker with over christmas
@@MaNNeRz91 save up and get a dt or kmx then mate deffo worth doing. I wouldn't get nothing with a big bore kits that someone has messed with unless you know the work has been done properly
You know it's a full blown project when you need to use WD on the crank. Bravo, and thanks for the content.
Hey joe! Checking to see if you need a dirtbike with all that rust! Lool hope to see a part 2 on this one
I did enjoy this video and I saw the crack in the very beginning. Pretty sure I knew how it would turn out. You can probably get most of your money back from parting it out. Thanks again for your time.
Nice find man enjoyed the video. A little trick for those cylinder jug bolts use the closed end of a second wrench and attach it to the open end of the wrench you were hammering on and it'll give you twice the leverage those nuts always loosen up pretty easy for me using that method no need to hammer the wrench and vibrate your fingers to death lol. Just a tip if you hadn't even seen it before.
Looks like it's been in the river. Parts bike n move on to the next one. Enjoying your chanel over here in the UK.
Reminds me of a YZF 426 I bought seized up £600 I didn’t check the cases underneath mmmm parted it out, got my money back... only just though🙄 ,great content as usual thanks 🍀🏴🙏
Good to see you finally made a work bench
I love watching your videos keep up the good work
That bike spent 95 % of its life in a wet pille of grass for sure ..probly went fo a swim or two lol ..keep it up awsome vids 👌🔥🇨🇦❤
Joe your a wild man buying locked up units and getting them running again! I have all all the respect for you bringing back these classics! I’ve learned quite a bit from watching your videos! Keep up the awesome work!
Which locked up bike has he gotten going?
@@miketyson1717 the rm125
@@2acres933 a stuck piston and a locked up engine are 2 different things. And this clown has NEVER made a bike run correctly! He's a hack and a butcher....
@@johncoleman2495 is your channel better ? Clown
Wow...that's kinda fucking harsh!
This one can be chalked up to the " must find something no matter what to get a video up " category ! You sucked us in , but that's how you get " views " I guess. Congrats you got me !
Love the content dude!! Been chasing a 94 yz250 in aus, hard to come by
i bought one of those brand new back in 1992. They were awesome running bikes. i won quite a few trotheys back in the day on it.
Yes!!!! You did it, you did it, you finally did it!!! YOU GOT A WORK BENCH!!!
There's hope for you yet son!!!
Great video man
Your moving up joe 😂 garage is looking good are you putting some heat in that shop still like your vids man great job
Fire videos . Here since 30k subs
You, do good work keep on doing what ur doing
The inside of that motor looks like it was pulled out of the lake great video thanks thumbs up
you can tell by the tide mark that has been submerged under water for a long time. that needs a full rebuild top to bottom and sand blast the frame as the rot has got in
Respect from Scotland 🏴 keep doing your thing
i have never seen a flywheel in that state !!! was satisfying when the puller got it off though :) nothing stops the power tools lol
Back in the day that bike was a beast. For me is the kind bike to spend a few bucks to restore. But you know, That's only my opinion 👍👍👍
thanx for the vid, makes me want to restore an old y zinger
Well Joe you win some and you lose some hopefully when you’re parting it out at least hopefully you will break even ! great video as always though 👍🏼🤩
I would love to see it cleaned up and the casing welded... I know it's a big project but you can do it, and its great content!
Case is done for. Not save-able.
@@763GanderGuys its savable its aluminum it can be welded
would rather see this piece of dogshit be turned into a cube
@@MSprostunts734 id love to have a dirtbike
@@TylerDuysen lol this piece is unsaveable. Idk if you saw the engine but it’s completely rust. Like EVERYTHING needs changed. Do you know how much those 2nd hand parts go for… a new crank etc.. u will end up spending 500$ on just the motor side, let alone that rusty ass frame! Not worth it. For that money you can buy a good condition same year
Also working on bikes this old I would recommend using a propane torch to heat the bolts sometimes they come right out super easy
You know instead of hurting your wrenches with a hammer try using 2 wrenches at the same time. Basically put the boxend on the nut then add the boxend to that nut and it will come right off!
They're spanners 👀
using a hammer and tapping lightly works pretty well with rusty bolts. Tight bolts deffo use a breaker bar or 2 spanners locked together though
@@MaNNeRz91 yeah definitely wanna tap em with a hammer to shock the threads
@@MaNNeRz91 you by any chance from New Zealand. I had a kiwi friend, only person until nowiv heard use the term spanner,??. But im also not a mechanic.
@@conservativerealist well a wrench ratchets... A spanner doesn't. And a breaker bar is a wrench that doesn't ratchet 😂😂
You have open end spanners and ring end spanners
Makes much more sense tbh lol
@@MaNNeRz91 sounds good😄thanks
Still enjoyed watching even though she was too far gone! Great video
Nice man congrats liked the bike tbh
These were actually great bikes at the time. =All those parts will sell quite easily. The YZ250 has great power and the suspension was very good. =Double your money for sure.
I actually burst out laughing a bit when you took off that fly wheel cover lol. Looks like a bunch of dirt and straw was also intentionally scooped into that crank. Holy smokes eh.
Had one like exactly this, awesome bike!
Wow that's a lot of rust and wear. Thanks for buying the bike so we didn't have to. 💪
i mostly use diesel or kerosene to get old oils and dirt out and its good to use in stukk pistons also,and many who clean old lathe where is own oil chamber use kerosene also to get all out.
Another cool find where do you find these bikes👍🏻💯
Im sure you can get this running because your a legend
Dang it was only worth about 50 bucks. However great wrenching video and good clean content here man! 🇺🇸🤝
I dont see a diamond in the rough here but I trust your judgment! 💯👍🤙
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻out........dang, that one is rough.
Plan on taking out the engine and disassembling it completely. It is trashed.
I had a 90 yz125 & 93 yz250 in my days. Both were great bikes
You get that to run without ordering all new parts will be a miracle!!!
I rly enjoyed this one. never seen an 2-stoke that bad before
It's A gem in the rite hands
I appreciate so much that 2vintage just never curses in this videos🤣
Best idea part out what you can, hope for the best, lesson learned. To bad man, sucks...
Had a mouse nest like that in my cvt case on a Yamaha kodiak that sat for 7 years.
That workbench is gonna make your floor jealous
Actually over time oxidation gasses pushed it out..I had it happen on 83 cr 250...good luck ,hope it turns out well.
Just bought a 95 KLX300 off Facebook for $140! These deals are out there you just have to look every once in a while!
Joe when you're trying to free up your engines use diesel it works pretty decent
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Good effort tho, loved the video
I had 88 and 90 YZ 250 both were awesome bikes.
Put the box end of a 2nd wrench into the open end of the 1 your hammering on, doubling the legnth of the wrench for leverage.
nice fisher price tool set!!!!!!!!!!!
Good find
Never been so early to a vid
One of the fasted yz250’s I’ve ever owned… scary fast!
It's a wrap. I won't forget this video. Classic.
What a classic. I bet she is gonna pull hard
Dude I love the channel work flow is crazy, bikes come out nice but what you paid for this I wouldn’t have offered anything over 100$ for that…these ppl today are crazy for what they are selling and really trying to bargain with it!! But I got faith you can deff get the job done!!
Your killing ME! that would be well over 1000 bucks where I come from in the north east.i just fought with a guy for two weeks over the price of an all clapped out xr 100
That model yz is a beautiful bike with the factory graphics on it take it back to original I guarantee it will appeal to more people of that era. Running and looking good that bike would bring 2500-3000 in Kentucky.
Ahh man sorry to hear that. I have faith that if you disassemble everything and oil bath them you would be able to save it but that takes a lot of time
I think parting it out is The best. You Will need New crank and bearings plus seals gaskets and allot more to make The Engine working again. I think you can part it out and get around 400-500$ out of it so its not that bad.
I bought around the same age bike yz250 1993 from my brother in law for £150 been stud for the last 11 years in a garden an then i did the basic things to it and it runs like it's brand new so i did a full restoration
Nice bike. 300 is a steal!
I hope you plan on giving that frame a once over as well bud. For the safe Ts
smartest decision. part it out and get your money back on the cylinder and suspension, those are both desirable.
Can't save them all, was an interesting tear down had to have been party submerged in water for some time looking at the amount of rust thats crazy! Engine must have blown up hard to crack the case like that.
I think they left it outside and water got into the case and froze and cracked the case
The cylinder, piston and power valves are probably worth the $300! 👍
Perfect bike for a full rebuild.
Bro you get all the boss bangers
i bet he is in old inter web all night long and watch sites like crazy .
@@broo_shs I do spend a lot of time on Facebook Market Place
@@2vintage Yeah I knew it man.
Unfortunately sometimes bikes just need to be retired , I would have done the same , great video
Similar happen to My Honda 1999 CR250. Good luck!
I paid 300 for my 2005 CRF450R. It had a bad motor, top and bottom end. One wrench rabbit rebuild kit later and i have one hell of a ripping machine.
Have seen a few come in to salvage, as bad or worse.if super rare, well spend some time bringing them back to life if possible.
I'll bet the engine was full of water and froze then cracked the block!! My guess the reason it was parked is because connecting rod bearings maybe???
