Tail light looks like it is upside down. The clear part is supposed to face down to illuminate the license plate. Good rebuild. Classic!
I do agree with you there
you are correct
@@mikes1097I have a 1977 z50 honda that dis not run can you please halp me
The headlight lense looks crooked also but hey, the rebuild was awesome
The tail light is upside down. The clear spot is supposed to go down it reflects off the chrome fender and lights up the license plate. God forbid you get pulled over on this speed demon and the Police can't read the plate. lol I had 3 of these, the 50cc the 70cc and the 90cc 1974-77 Joe, that was funny Jaden was doing the walk of shame up the driveway, She is going to kill you! lol :)
This was my first dirt bike I was four!! Now I'm 40!! Bringing back memories thanks!
this was my first bike too!! i wish i still had it.
My neighbor had this bike, and I had the Elsinore 50. I would smoke him, but they were both fun as heck to ride!
Wow that was my very 1st dirt bike also. Mine was a 1970 and had only front shocks. I was 11 yes old. I rode the wheels off that thing. And it brings back a ton of memories. I especially remember having to share it with my 5 year yonger little brother. It was a blast for years.
I watch your Chanel a lot. Find myself wanting to reach in and give a helping hand but that be a long reach as I'm in Florida. So I go back out in my shop work on stuff I have collected from here. Now I just finished re-doing the top end on a 03 kfx 400 I recently aquired.acquired. I really enjoy it.
here in finland this was my first street bike
As much as the engine build was awesome..
Jade trying to ride the bike was hilarious in a good way 😆
It has such a cute little piston, I could use it as a keychain for my Himalayan! Classic little bike, a true vintage machine
I'm learning motorcycles' workings, so such videos are very helpful for me. Many things I see here are totally new for me.
Good to see I'm not the only one who gets my silicone form the side of the tube. Lol
that's a really nice bike and looks excellent shape for the year.
Love rebuilding the old monkey bikes, always a ton of family history attached to them. Done several, lot of fun to fix. Did one in January for an old farmer down the road, finished it up, he and his grandson came to pick it up. When it fired up, he was very emotional. Grandson rode it home. See him about every weekend out riding it at his place. Warms the heart...
Cool bike the Z50, I think you put the rear light on upside down and the headlight needs the lens lining up too apart from that a great job putting it back on the 'road' , keep up the great work 👍😎
You must be so thrilled to be a winner!!! LOL
@@leebenson4874 yeah I must be lucky I keep winning all the time 😀
@@leebenson4874 shame its a con!

The first dirt bike I ever rode was a 1977 z50! My friend, Blair, who only came around every other weekend to visit his dad, had one, and we'd ride it up and down the driveway for hours. It sparked a love affair with bikes that still persists to this day over 40 years later. 🥰
Don’t be embarrassed Jade! Riding is a learning process, especially those little bitty mini bikes. Awesome stuff
that really made me smile :)
i've rode this baby 34 years ago, back in the 90s
there were a motorcycle rent shop nearby
they had a Honda Z50 for rent which we used to call it "Baby Honda"
i also have lots of memories with that cute bike :)
they were offering Honda 100S, Honda 100, Honda 70, Honda Z50, and "Boxer" with pedals (a bicycle with engine)
Thank you for sending me back to the 90s :)
Always cool to see the wife and the puppies. Family.
I had one of those. My Honda Z50A was blue with the chrome fenders. Gave it to my sister when I got a Yamaha DT360. Was stolen twice. Got it back the first time, but no luck the second. Was a fun bike. I had friends that had Trail Hoppers, YZ80's and XR75s and we used to ride around the neighborhood at night, trying not to be seen by the police. I have a lot of fond memories of those days. Honda sold them with 2 different carb. slides and also a restrictor plate in the exhaust system. The plate was removed and the better slide installed for better performance. Whoop!
Cool little bike joe don’t think jade was impressed mate lol little George is defo a mummies boy vinny is just mental hahaha take care mate 🔧🔧🔧👍👌
I learned to ride on one of these when I was 4 or 5. My grandfather kept it well into my late teens and I road it on occasion just for kicks.
Defiantly brings back great memories!! R.I.P grandpa
Wow You won LOL
bless her, I remember my brother trying to teach me and on my first run, when he said brake, i opened the throttle and went straight through someone's gates!!! From then on there were no problems of fear!!!
I have a 72 in need of a rebuild, wish I had a friend like you haha. This was really interesting to watch and gives me an idea of the work involved in breaking down and rebuilding one of these.
the hell with that break-in period on that new top end. rev the hell outa it. lol
Jade is a good sport. You should be appreciative of her support and patience.
Oh nooooo Jade's walk of shame! hahaha Joe this looks bad on you that you didn't take time to show her how to ride one of those. pretty funny I enjoyed it.
Nice this is gonna be a good one! Love the channel
I got a Z50 the first year Honda brought this bike to market I believe 1968. Rode the tires literally right off the rims, fine piece of engineering that even a teenager couldn't wear out!
Great vid, excellent job again. Probably made someone's kids day.
Joe u find some very rare stuff and this is rare!Looking forward to u tackling this!👍👌👊👊👊
Awh Joe you guys are the BEST little family!!
I just started my 78 z50 today. It's been in the garage for 23 years. I added an electronic ignition and new carb.
*IT LIVES !*
The tires are cracked but the headlight works.
What ignition and carb did you use? I've got a 78 that I want to get running but the carb is missing pieces
Great video, your wife made chuckle near the end 😀
My first bike (at only 6 year old) was a Honda 1972 mini trail 50 previous model to the Honda Z50 (without rear suspension) great bike, then got a Yamaha 1979 YZ80F great experience growing up👍👍👍👍

I started riding on a 1968 or 69 hardtail z50 that was burgundy and silver. I honestly was no more than 3 yo. Believe it or not but it's true. I'm now 54. I would love to have it back. Unlike some people, I'm not going to pick your work. You do a good job and I hope that you are making a living working on motorcycles. Great job and keep finding the old ones.
Great video, the whole Jade sequence was hilarious! I think we have all been in that situation...keep up the great vids, greatly appreciate them!
I see it alot of work bro thank you teaching us.
Huge credit to your wife for trying. The Z50 was the cool thing to have when I was a kid. Great video and keep up the good work. You're giving me incentive to get back to work on my 65 Honda 305 Dream.
your pup looks like a Ewoke love it🐕.
Love the banter/ teasing, very funny.👍
Awesome video I was just telling my dad how I watch all your videos in about little Vinny I didn't realize you were married now we get to see the misses lol awesome video as always brother you demand I appreciate your videos
never a boring bike 👍 keep up the good content
I had a 69 Honda QA50. Great rebuild.
I was gifted a 1976 Z50. It had been sitting for years. My grandson and I removed, drained and rinsed the tank, cleaned the carb....used same old gaskets, filed and set points, cleaned/gapped the plug, added fresh gas and vroom! It smoked but after a few rides the smoke stopped. Stuck rings. It looks ratty but Honda build quality is remarkable. Dave in Omaha
It’s nice to meet your wife. She should be in more of your videos.
Love these little bikes think the back light is on upside down it's clear at the bottom to illuminate a registration plate if it's road legal love your content 👌
I had a blue 1971 Honda fifty. My first dirt bike LOL It was a fun bike for a child. woo hoo! When you strip those splines that when you weld it LOL.
Joe, you came by like The Flash!
A whopping 12 1/2 mph.
Loved the break in process just give it the beans
Excellent rebuild man. Hey my wife has a hard time on a pedal bike let alone a bike with a motor...lol. no big deal
nice work! I had a '68 when I was 7. dang those things are tiny, hold that camera still wifey! Good times!
the really cool sound of the 50cc and Trail 70cc motor is unmistakebly Honda
I love all your work on these bikes man, you're really good at all of what you're doing, and you've provided hours of entertainment to me and a better understanding of all things mechanical with all your different projects, but I've got to be honest with you. You're wife has been absolutely freaking adorable in this video. You guys are beyond cute.
Thats was very funny
What is interesting to think about, is that of all the bikes and ATV’s Joe has repaired. This Z-50 will still be in the shape it is right now 200 yrs from now because of its rarity, and small size, and it is easily stored, displayed and collected.
My friends little brother used to have one of these so much fun we'd leave our big bike to play on them.I guess just like they do know with the pit bikes,not sure what it is about little bikes but man they are fun another great video Joe keep them coming please.
I learned how to ride when I was 6 years old and it was a 70s model painted like a Harley Davidson in blue metal flake,and also owned a orange and black 79 z50,also learned how to do a rebuild on it too,seeing this makes it feel like it was yesterday
I agree with other poster. It's down on power. Even though it's a 50 it should have reved up more. Nice vid. I would have given an arm to have one of these as a kid.
When you dream at night, it's about engines and how to fix them you are amazing 😀...
Nice! I had one of those as a kid. Great bike! Hold the tail light and flip the bike upside down, dude!!!
Lol poor Jade. Joe don't be a meanie!
I love these videos!
I’ve seen, in the aftermarket, a 75 cc engine with a 4 speed for $300 or so. It’s bolt in. The after market parts availability is huge. You could build one completely with all aftermarket parts. I gave mine to my grandson. He loves it. We talk about blasting it apart and restoring but have yet to do it. I ride a 2005 V-max. Quite a contrast. Fun. Dave in Omaha
Pretty cool little bike really like how clean it is Nice work👍🏼👍🏼
I have to say that I understand your wife's feelings with bikes. My wife took her first harley Sportster (used) out and came to a stop but she forgot to put her feet down. Lol it was like a slow motion fall.
LOL Jade is so cute. Great build man.
Jade is a good sport. "You know I don't have the balance for this". Filmed her walk up the drive. If that was my wife, much editing would be needed. Thanks for joining Jade. And engine rebuild was informative as usual.
Lol..she was great for trying atleast..lol..Great vid...b safe.peace..
great job thanks for sharing and i hope the owner has a great time with. take care and have a great day
This is very similar to the bike I learned on as a kid. Crazy reliable and lots of fun.
Real cool little Honda. Grew up riding these with friends. Good job bringing her back. One suggestion, use the oem carb if they have it.
Think the tail light is on upside down clear part to light up number plate . Great vid as usual.
Cool little bike 👍 And the pups look like they're doing great too :-)
I like the ending of the video 😂 great work! 👍🏽
Interesting rebuild thanks for taking us along .
Well done 👍 that was a big task, good work.
go jade and good video guys
had the same bike as my first dirt bike ==great video
Dude the brake light is upside down....the clear piece should be on the bottom to illuminate the number plate...top video!!!
Go Jade. You have to have a go at riding Jade. It's great fun.
She's a real powerhouse for sure. 😋
It sounds very sluggish, I feel like it should Rev up a little faster than that. It sounds restricted somewhere. Other than that, cool video Joe 👍. The Jade part of the video was very entertaining 😄. Ewok George. My brother had the same kind of dog. He liked to sit on people's feet if you were sitting in a chair, it was odd. Anyways keep up the great content bro.
Needs fuel mixture adjusting, probably getting to much air due to the open filter as they are normally very restricted with standard airbox.
For real how are the new ones so much faster? That one is as fresh as you can get and there is a major difference.
Just found your channel! Keep up the Great Work! - Cant believe how clean that bike is for the age.
this guy is amazing
I know it could be pretty scary splitting cases but good job bud 👍🏻 (oh flip the taillight it's on upside down).
Ahh the z 50 many of us old timers started on them and seemed mean at that point
Might help to go a bit bigger on the main due to the pod filter. Well done Joe.
We all love jade . Fun stuff . Vinny will love the property.
I'd love to find one of these or a little atc70. Good content as always man, keep up the good work.
Pulled it out of the gear, no choice now. Sucks, enjoy. Great vid. Z50s suck to fix.
😂 your wife was killing me on this one.
U got Spam on your chat feed slick. PRIZES PRIZES. lol
When I retire in a few years and no longer have to be drug tested, can’t wait to take a couple puffs and watch these videos 😅. Good job young man❤
My brother and I both learned on a Honda 50. We thought it was a 77, but must have been a 79 without the lights and chrome. He went in half-sies with my dad and at dealer a year model later. I think it was about $800 then. We rode it until about 1990 when I was 12 and it stopped running. sold if for basically nothing in about 1998. The thing always fired up after a kick or 2 growing up though. good stuff.
Is the backlight on upside down?
I was entertained 😊
Amazed that you can still get OEM parts for a 45 year old Z50.
I bet you had to heat up leftovers for dinner after you filmed this one! 😂
Awesome bike! but why not clean the engine cases ?
I had to split the case on my 1972 Honda CL 100 to replace the kick start on it. Crazy design.
"You're a turd." I think we need more Jade in the videos.
i still have 1974 Honda Trail 70...mint complete original...my brother burned out the auto clutch..and it has sat fir 35+ years...i need to get it goin...its the hit metallic orange...low low miles...i used to ride the RV 90 and the Trail 70 as a boy
I believe that shift star is supposed to be loose, maybe not as loose as it was but not tight either. Good Video!
My first bike was a blue version of this one. 😎
Do you know why 3 of the cylinder head nuts are domed and one isn't? My first bike was a Honda SS50 1975 bike same engine, and the head nuts was the same as this lovely little bike. Great vid 2vintage. I was 16 when I had my SS50 back in 1978, I'm now 61 and my ride now is a Honda NC750x
Your wife brings back memories of Martha Quinn from MTV early days, very similar looking.
