What do you guys think of this bike? Was it worth the $600 I paid for it?
Please SUBSCRIBE and LIKE the video if you enjoyed! It really helps me out a lot!

Thank you for all the support!
Seems like a good deal for 600
Yeah it was worth 600 I would have split the cases and installed new main bearings though
@2vintage when it revs up like that put it into gear then turn the gas on mine does it all the time lol putting it into gear and putting around makes it stop
what tools do you use?
Yeah 100% worth it and yes I liked the video and I am already subscribed great video keep it up
"It will be perfect" just needs lights,silencer,shifter,carb slide.Joes positive attitude is very impressive!!
And bars lol
But this parts you just listed are hard to find fit that dinosaur. And probably cost more than the bike is worth.
I have a craving for chocolate milk after watching the oil drain 😂🤣
thats coffee with creamer in it not chocolate milk.
You mean a cup of caramel macchiato! :-}
It looked like straight sand 😂😂
that thing sounded mint towards the end. cleared right up
Clutch has left the chat 😂
Think you should have taken a few links outta that chain
Glad see them old Kawasaki come back
I'm pretty sure there should be a chain roller where the foot peg mounts. Most Kawasaki dirt bikes I came across always had a bad cylinder, and starting in like 79 they can't be bored out, so I stuck with Honda CR's & XR's. I do have a custom 78 KD125 which I call a KDX125 as I built it using 74 KX125 gears, ignition & cylinder head.
I get excited every time your vids pop up! 💯💯👌🏻🙏🏻
I'm laughing about the chain 😂
That chain setup wow that's a first same with the nest in the reeds glad you're giving it new life love me some kdx ding ding
I really love your videos in my country there isn’t a lot of these types of bikes and if there are they are really expensive so watching this is so fun!
I just inherited a water cooled 200 in similar shape. Was full of a mice nest the whole way into the reeds but luckily didn’t get into the engine and I knew not to try to start it that way lol. Cleaned it out and it runs great now
It really sound like the clutch is slipping at full throttle. Maybe turn the adjuster in on the clutch lever some. I can't believe it started when the owner sold it to you with all that mouse stuff!! Lol you just said in you're video the clutch is slipping!! I called it first! Lol great job man!!!
EBay had two listings for silencer!! Under 100 Joe!!
The bikes you score bring back lots of good memories. 80's dirt bike kid here
Love it bro, i used to race these and pe 175s. Clutch sounds engaged still top end lil bit
I have the same bike. With a fresh top-end you should be getting around 140psi comp.
You tuned the idle Soooo well on that bike GoOd JoBe
Lol
Hard to tune the idle when you have the wrong slide!
@@2vintage Don’t you think you should probably have looked over the bike and made sure you ordered all of the necessary parts before you start the project lol
@@Chickenteam22 you obviously don’t know how it goes working on old bikes don’t tell a successful mechanic how to do his job because lord knows who’s been in that bike and mismatched parts part of the game is not knowing what your getting into you can’t tell everything that’ll be wrong with it before you start
@@MintNickel1 And that’s why I said ‘’You should have looked over the bike and ordered all of the necessary parts needed before you start the project’’ read carefully next time, thanks
When you think a protein shake will give you more power,🤣 that oil is yummy 🤤 🤣
yea lol
You be high as hell off the fumes 😂😂 Hotboxing in the garage
They used to put chain mail on a rope and tow it through sandy roads until clean. I suppose a sandblaster would do the job today. That way half the chain tension on a used bike isn't rust and mud.
You always seem to do a good job on your bikes......on this one sounds like the clutch is slipping...and as for those bars and throttle bin them truly hidious
I've got the stock silencer for that and the 200. Little dinged up but worked good.
Suggest you replace that shifter or it will wear the splines on the shift shaft then you have bigger problems and it sounds like the clutches are slipping in the video 40 year old clutches I’d say they need replaced definitely a cool bike Kawasaki was established in 1949 actually the first brand of the big four Japanese giants Suzuki came in 1951 and Honda and Yamaha came in 1955. But no other brand is better than a HONDA 🤙🏻.
Where you put that bolt into hold the left foot peg. They're is supposed to be an lower inner roller inside their that the chain rolls on. Basically a longer bolt and then a nyloc nut.
You’re stealing all my deals 😂😂 I live in the same area as you I was literally going to pick up like 2 projects that I saw listed that you bought lol no hard feelings though I just need to be more vigilant ig
The old 2 strokes are loud, nice!!!😮
There is supposed to b a chain roller on that bolt you put in for the foot peg.the chain would roll on the top side of the roller,then it wouldn't rub on the frame.
@@titletownclowns1545 where do you find a service manual for these bikes? I dont own one, pdf format would be enough to take a peak.
@@Friendroid type kdx 175 parts diagram on Google and you can see the bottom roller
Sorry I haven’t been able to watch your videos but I will now every day
See it a lot. Simple maintenance and basic care go a long way, I preach it to my customers, don't help much but little things like checking oil can save a ton of work and money in the future. I've seen some pristine vintage bikes and some real crap piles that didn't have to be. Great find Bro, good luck with that beast!
82-83 ish, Kawa-waki went on the cheap with their electro fusion cylinders and they siezed right out of the crates. Dont know if you scoot had an upgrade, but since it hasnt locked up yet it might be ok..the 86+ KDX was the best bike for the money.
The funniest channel on RUclips! People actually think that you know what you are doing! LMFAO
Just watched your MX 175 vid and i honestly think you’ve had almost if not every old 175 made certainly all the good ones. Could’ve had yourself a nice vintage 175 collection when running right and they’re all little rippers and with doing all the work on them yourself cheap to fix and maintain. Just got to the part in the vid where your shifter was slipping and having had a couple KDX’s 175 & 200 i can tell you the shifters slipping are a common problem apparently cos they’re made from a cheap aluminium and wear out quite easily but a decent after market steel one will solve that. I’ve been told the kick not springing back is sometimes a problem people have had but I’ve never had it happen to me and i currently have a 94’ 200 I’ve owned for almost 20 years now absolutely bulletproof bikes.
I have a 81 an 83 and an 85 I got them all restored
Of course.That bikes sounding like it's running pretty lean.Yeah, got blown out crank seals.That's why it smoked so bad
to free up your clutch ...ride in a high gear and press back brake with throttle open ..
The reason it keeps dieing is because it wants to die. Purrs like a kitten that just got hit by a dump truck. This cranes you seen in the field is digging a deep hole so you can dump that thing in.
Great job for saving the bike's life keep on saving them my friend
Hi 🙋♂️ ! U remind me of me when I was younger, always working on dirt bikes . I still have a few bikes but would love another dirt bike but unlike the us there isn’t any ground to ride on now it’s illegal . Thanks for video. Greetings from Portsmouth England 🏴
Might be the camera angle but those bars look bent.
Automatic oiler she isn't a chainsaw bub!!
Ober yhe years of having bikes ive never had a bike to where the shaft splines strip out, theyre some pretty solid steel and would take alot for it to strip, 90% of the time the lever will take a crap way before the shaft ever does, ive stomped a few or so shifters so hard and strip them out and the shaft always stayed in great condition. Juat some food for thought
Do u know how to mix gas 😆 the mans a lemon not the bike 🍋🚑
Can't believe the chain routing... lol.. surprised it didn't bend shaft.
Definitely worth what you paid. Well done to get it up and running again. 👍Another method to removing stickers, gaskets and sticker glue without damaging the surface is plastic razor blades.
EBay has shift levers too Joe.
I just picked one up for 500 bucks, turns out it had a small hole in the crankcase leaking out oil. I'll try to JB welded but I'm pretty sure I'll have to put a new engine in.
I've been watching you for forever now and I just realized you look and sound just like kryozgaming
Sounds a little rich in the mid range and lean on the top but damn dude I cannot believe that bike sounds as good as it does 😂 good job 👍
Stripped shifter oh that takes me back!!!
i used to roll with vice grips
@@Libertymongoose420 I remember I was in a race and my shifter stripped I had to finish it in 2nd. Nonetheless I did not do well
@@rickromann hey at least you did'nt give up you tried thats all that matters brother
I do enjoy your videos, i love bikes too, I'm amazed how your parents let you rip up and down the road on your bikes and quads, wonder what their neighbours think of it 😳😳 if it wasn't for your parents your videos wouldn't be as enjoyable, keep up the good work 😁 🇬🇧
I love green dirtbikes!
I’d run some ATF type F in the case just for a few minutes and then drain it to clean it out. Since you filled it I would drain it after you warm it up. It must have had water in the case. Great old bike, tons of fun!
Bro that oil looks like Dooky berries on a Late night Denny’s menu man !!!! Awesome build bro !!!!
I noticed the more you ride it the better it ruins Love it that is a nice bike
There was water or fuel in trans because the crank was full of fuel, crank seal is bad... my guess. Leak test to confirm.
I dont understand the fuel filter on a 2 stroke. You could make the bike run leaner than you think. Comedy
She's got potential
Who filled that motor with cappuccino?!
Did you tried moving the air/fuel mixture screw to rich the engine out?
Also cranck seals must be smoked, leaning the bike and allowing gas to get to the oil
Slide looks just fine.
What oil do you use?
Check your float level, and it might be the paper filter restricting the flow?
Should have a spring ajuster to hold the slack out of the chain don't they I had the 420 kx.nice bike when finished good vidio nice to see the old ones saved 🇬🇧👍🏻
I’m sure her clutch be slipping bud
there should be a chain wheel on it .
When you drained that “oil” I have NEVER seen oil that milky in an air-cooled machine!
The crank was filled with fuel from carb overflow leaking through crank seal to trans.
I know you like the vintage stuff, but I’d like to see a newer bike get resurrected from being abused and poorly maintained. Something 5-6 years old would be awesome.
Even like a mid 2000s 125 or 250 2 stroke would be nice.
Good job on your videos and the shifter shaft I'm glad you still got thread on it it's a hard sucker to remove if it's broke my xr250 the first half of the shaft was busted off so I had to drill and tap and bolt onto mine so it would hold then I welded it ok it's not the right way to do it but I never had a problem with it again after that
I have a soft spot for kdx’s...always wanted one as a kid in the 80s 😀
That bike will never run properly until you get that carb set up rite
I don’t know how you do this stuff
Early! Awesome stuff man. Keep it up
The weld on the kickstand is a hot mess!! Are you going to grind down, and paint? It makes the whole side look like crap!!!
It looked like mouse pee in the oil. And Joe said it smelled like mouse pee too. It could have dripped down from the airbox, into the leaky carburetor, and then down into the oil somehow. Yuk. Cheers from Canada :-)
That was great I'm glad there wasn't too many issues nice dirt bike 👍
Nice bike right place at the right time bargain 🏍️😁
Foyer that thing up baby!
i was thinking about the terminator 2 bike when u were going down the road kinda sounded like it
There should be chain roll back of the footbeg bolt. Longer bolt and roll
my It250 was at 105 with those bad rings and the top one that was stuck in the groove, havnt done a test with the new rings
what tools do you use to fix your bikes?
Got a frame for aN 88' KDX 200 behind my shop, not sure what to do with it yet.
I like fired chicken
I have the same bike but mines a 1980 things mint lol runs great I was actually riding it yesterday
You’re going to be running super rich until you get that slide replaced with the cut out backwards it’s not allowing enough air in for the jetting to work properly. I had that happen on a dual carb slides were backwards .ran like shit flipped em instant horsepower
yep just replaced it! Made a huge difference.
Aww man I missed this video I'm just now seeing it 14 hours later I guess that's what happens when you mow a when yard with a push mower haha
Think you got a good deal joe not a bad bike for what you paid 🔧🔧🔧🔧👌👍
Clutch is slippin a bit,could be cable adjustment
Try acetone/ATF 50/50 to break free stick motors.
That kdx is not to bad.good job my boy. Do you deer hunt cause Wisconsin produces some nice bucks.
What's $60 for a part verses a $600 score.
Automatic oiler lol... all seals are shot.
Hey man I've got a full kdx175 near me for sell for 300$ in parts it has the silencer i could go pick the silencer up for you and ship it too you😂
Give it a wash and a detailing then let’s see maybe a supermoto conversion
Add a thick pad to the bottom of the kickstand.
Still mixing 1:40? Believe me 1:50 is more than enough. Nice bike tho, hope you make a nice profit!
Clutch is slipping baddd
Quit cranking throttle when you're kicking it. Sounds pretty good, seems solid. Different carb??
