So relaxing no loud music no annoying yelling man this is refreshing

Just by looking at it, regardless of the running condition, 600.00$ is a sweet deal !

[francismarion]

That is one very good deal! Around here in the south people want $1500 for something that needs a new bottom end😂

Fast kicks won't work on a four stroke with auto decompression. Need to kick slowly to compression, then just past. Then full kick. Engine gains speed through the next 3 strokes to be spinning quick enough to hit compression stroke and fire at the end of the kick. A full kick on these ends up being a full 4 stroke cycle. Starting procedure is key otherwise you will just flood it.

I can’t believe the number of vent hoses on that carb.

You need to invest in a leakdown tester sir. I work on KX bikes and the first thing we check on the 06 to 08 are their heads. They famous for running hot and warping the heads. All will be fine with new valves and cutting seats till.... You torque the head down. Once you torque the head you lose concentricnisty on the valve to seat faces. That's why you need a leakdown test. It will help from chasing issues and compression tester does not do that. Leakdown tells you were the issue is. That bike shows that it was used for burnouts. Overheating obviously occurred. Head will show no warpage on the bench just when torqued onto engine. Good luck.

The way you do the mechanical work & explain it to us while getting it all on video is an "Art Form" unto itself.... lol, lots of folks
can fix broken sH!T but few can show others how they did it & doing it on video is all the more difficult. I can't imagine all the
hours you spend researching the specs on these projects/repairs and then on editing all the hours of video/audio. Putting it
all together is an accomplishment that I enjoy watching even though I can't do much more than change the oil.
peace & be safe this NY Eve !! GB ALL of You/yours

I could feel that first gear chunking on my couch. Another great video, Joe. Good work.

I would be checking to see if that left exhaust valve is bent. A gap that big when the other exhaust valve was closed up says bent valve to me.

[eggegg]

I used to watch all your videos in 2017. Love to see u doing good !

[Chicken-t]

That bike is surprisingly clean for $600

[IggyInBurnaby]

You should explain what the decompression mechanism does and how it works.

[path_of_sarrows]

Bro I'm so glad that you exist and have this YouTube channel thank you for all the information over the years

[joelbrown]

Can't wait for follow up video.. I don't even ride but your engineering skills and mechanical know-how is great.. happy new year from Texas!!

[keek]

Nice pick up for 600 bucks. You do my two favorite things, motorcycles, and dogs.

[steveabner]

I'm glad I found your channel. I really enjoy watching you repair these bikes.

[joedranschak]

Great deal! Shame about the transmission. I got a 09 same scenario except for the transmission for $900. Rebuilt the top end and complete carb rebuild including a mid-body kit and it's a beast. The idling issue is probably the mid body leaking. Great video!

[bbroken]

It looks like your missing a bolt or two from the rear sprocket. I would check if there all tight before next ride and maybe replace the one or ones missing.

[nitrocs]

Great videos and they are very informative, but the best thing in your videos are: seeing Vinnie always happy and excited about the new project, lovely dog.

I've raced and worked with bikes most of my life but these days restore old Jeep TJ's, as I'm an old man, age 65. If I had your video skills I'd start my own Jeep restoration channel. I like how you just get into the video without the music, product support, and look at me introduction. Before you ask, my restorations TJ's are not cheap to buy.
