  • I picked up this old suzuki ds 80 in real bad shape from a yard sale a few weeks ago. on the 1st video we got the engine to run and exhaust repaired, lets see how the rest of the broken and missing parts can be fixed without spending any money.

    Today on Mustie1, an old man rides a kids motorcross bike through the woods and giggles like a little girl. Great stuff Mustie, there's something satisfying about watching you take something broken and fixing it up.

    I grew up working in the garage with my father. We didn’t have a lot of extra money. (6 kids). We would fix things, if we needed a part we would scrounge one off of a spare car or go to the wrecking yard and match one. It is a good way to teach children to solve problems with their creative minds. I now own a automotive shop. High end. I miss this. Think I will take my old motorcycle to the shop and work on it with a different attitude. Thanks or reminding me of something I use to know.

I cleaned out a shop from an estate sale, and the gentleman was also a small engine mechanic. They will never get used (by me) and they are all still pliable and most are still in their original packages. I would love to send them to you as a thankyou for the great videos and all that I have learned from watching them. Thanks Mark

      35 yrs ago, my cousin bought his 10-11 yr old a KZ-80 , as I had 250 acres, it was kept at my place. An they came too ride, at least every other weekend. Eli, my nephew, was instructed to ride 'only' on the horse trails ..( several sinkholes on the farm, and horse's will not go through those...).
      One afternoon his dad an I were enjoying a couple of adult beverages while he was riding, suddenly the bike abruptly shut off?
      Out of site, and it had been wide open. Dad jumps up, an I told "Sit down, he's fine, there's no hollering"
      4-5 minutes passed, he comes wandering up, head hanging...
      "Can ya'll come help, I'm stuck?"
      Lot's of good natured 'ribbing' later, (yes he was off the horse paths) , we walk back, an it's up to the handlebars...
      He an I still laugh about it today.

    My daughter had the same bike when she was young. That thing was a ripper, every time an adult rode it they got hurt bad. Her shift shaft/fork assembly did get stripped off once and all there is to fixing it was to pull the kick start and the right side case and it slides right through from the other side it was only like $18 bucks plus a new shifter. The when she got a new larger bike I traded it to a guy for his girl and warned him not to let adults' ride it. Sure enough that night thirty something uncle wiped it out and went in the ambulance with a broken collar bone. After his girl saw this she refused to ride it out of fear, so it was taken and traded for 3 Chinese four wheelers that were all shot in a week. I found it at the nippon dealer and tried to buy it back a couple weeks later to find out his adult son was riding it and broke an arm. He wanted way to much to buy it back so I caught hell for loosing "sunny" she never did like the new Yamaha. Then about ten years later I saw it along the road for sale and snapped pictures of it, sent them to her phone. At that time I was instructed to turn right around to go buy "sunny" back again, I was not gone 15 minutes but when I got back the guy said sold it two minutes after I pulled away. So I was in trouble again. If anybody out there has one of these with the little black and white biker stickers all over it " mostly proclaiming how much girls are better riders than boys" Let me know, my daughter is going on 30 now but still wants sunny back!

    What a classic sound. As a 10 year old kid in the early 80's I had a 1969 Honda CT70, my neighbor Geoff around 1985 got a Suzuki 80. Your bike sounds just like my childhood. Our dads swapped weekends taking us and our bikes out to ride, even if that sometimes was a closed industrial park on a Sunday afternoon. It was the 80's, people were a lot more laid back. It maybe was also an excuse to chill out for a couple hours away from the house, drinking beer, parked in the shade in the truck on a nice afternoon, while us kids ran ourselves in circles on our bikes. I'd love to have my childhood bikes back, a blue CT70, and a metallic gold '72 Yamaha DT175.

    Sweet! In my experience that plastic welding doesn't really hold on in any bike. The streets of Helsinki are a real pain in the ass, since they're museum streets made of cobblestone, so they repeatedly cracked the plastic rear fairings on my motorcycle. I tried plastic welding them back for like 5 times, and then finally lost the part that cracked off, since the welds couldn't handle the stress... Then I threw in some fiberglass mats and resin on the section that fell off, grinded it to shape, sanded it smooth and painted it the silver that my bike is... and that hasn't cracked at all. At first I thought that plastic welding would be better on the plastic, but after putting that fiberglass there I've never had to melt them zipties into the fairings ever again. You could fix the rear fender and the missing pieces with a few pieces of fiberglass mat.

      I use Devcon Plastic Steel ( NOT THE FAST DRYING STUFF ) on all kinds of things also. I even BED BOLT ACTION RIFLES WITH IT, GREAT STUFF. Dad fixed a hole in an engine block back in the 70's with JB Weld & Screen to hold the JB weld on. Blew a rod out the side, said it lasted 6 years & then he sold the car.

      @@Silversmith925 Yes Sir, Everybody has their favorite. I chose Devcon for bedding rifles because is does not shrink as much as JB Weld. Used it on .22 to 30-06 calibers & holds up fine. You can even put dye in it to match a wood stock, like brown, does not take much.

I use Devcon Plastic Steel it flows better where I want it especially in bedding guns. Hell it even sticks to synthetic stocked rifles but you have to drill small holes & scuff it up ( I use a dremel with a grinding bit ) for it to stick. Personally didn't think it would work but PREP IS EVERYTHING LIKE PAINTING. You can also mix some steel, aluminum, wood what ever filings, wood dust in it, I think it makes it stronger ?

We used to find construction sites downtown and ride on them on the weekends when the workers weren't there, that's the only dirt we had, lol.

Arms straight out the works. All he was missing was the cape. Oh and the superpowers. Because when he hit the rocks he got pretty messed up. Was nothing a plate in his head and a pin in his knee couldn't fix though. Makes going through metal detectors hard today.

    We had the 50cc road version of those bikes here. Made and sold in the 70's and 80's. We would bore them out to 50mm, put on a 24mm carb, an expansion chamber pipe and would use them on drag races. Some would lighten the flywheel and put on some Yamaha electronic ignition, others constuct some Stihl chainsaw ignition system on it (they came originally with breaker points). There are still some riding around. Real fun and quick bikes.
