Can I Get This Dirt Bike Running Sitting 20 Years In A Shed?

This dirt bike makes me want to do a happy dance.

Craig, a couple years back when I was 17 you got me really into fixing bikes. I started out with a 1993 Katana 600, ended up loosing money but kept at it. I ended up having a bored out hayabusa, a modded out widowmaker, and now I have a 2015 r1. I do all the work myself, including engine and electrical. Thanks for the inspiration and teachings, I genuinely couldn’t have done it without you, your channel, or your time at bikes and beards!

Hey Craig , my buddy sent me this video. Turns out, I was the original owner. I sold it to Chris years ago and wanted to buy it back many times . Unfortunately he wouldn't part with it . Amazing you got it and we're able to bring life back to it. Had many good times with it in New York state, and New Jersey ( when you could find places to ride there ). Best wishes, thanks for the video. Lee, p.s. Quads more my speed now .

I'm so glad that Greg was actually in an episode. He does so much work, and should get more screen time.

I like the fact I can watch this with my boys and don't have to worry about the language! Thanks!!

I am so glad to see The Bearded Mechanic I know, with Craig, Dan and Greg 😊

I've been watching The Bearded Mechanic for a long time and even bikes and beards. This is my first comment. Do to the fact I watch it on a roku TV, where you can't comment. I feel like an idiot. I just realized Crieg and the night shift guy Greg are the same person. Maybe I'm not smart enough to operate or work on a bike. My world's turned upside down. Y'all are great and Dan is the icing on the cake. Love the way he rips on Crieg, it makes the show awesome. Thank you for endless hours of fun. Keep it up. #08b-king4ever

AWESOME! I just got my friends 1987 BMW K100 running again this morning... What a (small) moment of personal triumph! I feel ya, Craig!

Ultrasonic cleaner filled(not so much that the next container wil overflow it obviously) with distilled water+a smaller container(preferably glass or something the ultrasonic waves will move through) filled with your choice of penetrant. Put the part in container with the penetrant and put that in the ultrasonic cleaner. Put the ultrasonic cleaner on hot and let it run! Just a humble suggestion! I work on cyclotrons and this has worked with frozen pnuematics and such that I was ready to toss.
I can't tell you how awesome this channel is and how much I've learned about working on motorcycles such! Thanks for the videos!

2 Stroke run away, the look on your face was PRICELESS!
Scary when it happens though.

Love that era of dirt bikes, what a beaut

[MrNormy]

The knowledge that beard has is astounding.

This was my dream bike as a 16 year old.Love seeing it resurrected.

✋️ high five to Greg! He's the man!

[skktvyy]

I really appreciate that they try to get the carb unstuck. That is the stuff people need to see.

[jaimeskiebel]

That's my bike! (Well, mine was just like it!) I bought it new in early 1986. I loved that bike. Still my favorite. I sold it in 1992 due to $$$$ issues. I wish I never got rid of it!

[tannerbushey]

Had the same exact bike when i was 16, first dirtbike, loved every min of riding, sold it years later to get a 98 kx 250 2stroke, a beast of a bike

[jimp.]

Awesome. You looked like a kid just got his first real motorcycle riding it. That feeling is with you for life. Many can relate I'm sure. Another good one here. Cheers. 👍

[rangeraficionado]

Tip here: heat the carb body and freeze the slide by using a can of compressed air turned upsidedown.

[jamesstenner]

Wow that’s a genuine barn find right there, she’s a absolute beut

[robcreel]

Aw, yes! Love the rap of the two stroke engine. Great job Craig, Greg too!
