Seller Sold Me This 2-Stroke Dirt Bike With Major Flaw

Let’s appreciate the fact, that Joe is of the guys that says "yup, it’s messed up, I will NOT sell it like that" and actually goes through the hustle of repairing it right.

The anonymity of social media, in this case YouTube, makes for some ferocious commentary. Constructive commentary of any sort can help figure problems out, but negative remarks seem to be aimed at shaming and embarrassing Joe. What is the point? If you’re a true mechanic, you’re out in the garage repairing a bike, not sniping here trying to proclaim yourself an expert. Just save that nonsense. This guy loves what he does, has some success, definitely has ethics and most importantly will admit when he is stumped. He’s a teacher. I’ve watched several channels on bike repair and I’m learning, primarily from 2vintage. There are others that are informative, but I find this one easiest to watch. And NOBODY else has Vinnie. If you don’t agree, an application of gasket maker on your mouth is in order.

In my humble opinion, no other bikes beat the late 70's-thru earlly 90's dirt bike styles. They are absolutely beautiful machines.

Go big on the shed Joe!! You won't regret it. Might even have room for new the parts washer 🤣🤣🤣

I remember my first time lapping a cylinder and head. I took to much off and had to use race gas after.

As the comment below - we used to call it lapping in performed on a lapping stone or plate with lapping compound. The figure 8 motion was always a must giving you the best opportunity to apply even pressure in all directions and getting the best results. Back and fourth WILL take off a hair more on each side as you apply opposite pressure to change direction.Also, I would raise the table to chest height making it easier to perform the 8 motion

Thank you for the peake at Jade and your little one. Treasure your time with your little one. They grow up way too quickly.

If you freeze it at 43:26 you can see at the 1 o’clock point of the seal, that it’s not seated. It’s bulging out there.

94 CRS colours look beautiful

reusing studs will kick you back latter or someone who buys it

usaully crank seals also can mean worn main bearings, any play at the fly wheel is usaul give away of bearings worn, well done on the cr

Deer LOVE green beans. (Ask me how I know) and can jump VERY high. Deer and rabbit repellent works very well, but has to be reapplied after heavy rain.

Dang another great day to view another great 2vintage video

That 125 is rippin now! Those bikes are so much fun.

You do a great job trouble shooting and make your videos straight to the point, making your videos easy and entertaining to watch let alone informative on the average Joe encountering the same issues with machines insight on how to diagnose and fix there own machines, you have above average tutorials on home fixes that are done properly and effectively without constantly blasting a parts cannon at it all the time keeping a budget in mind when fixing machines. Keep up the good work!

The CR does run really good and it sounds good too except when you miss a shift ☺ it's a nice looking bike too. I've always liked the white and red. I really like the Yamaha 80 too. That's going to be a nice little bike when it's all cleaned up. I still remember seeing those new on the showroom floor when I was younger

We bought an old abandoned farmhouse many years ago, i was 6 or 7 and while exploring the property i found five dead deer under an old apple tree. I ran home to get my dad and mom, upon inspection dad pronounced the deer dead alright, dead drunk. Eating fermented apples.

Joe pressure wash things before you work on them.

Mr 2vintage has an unequaled work ethic and seems to always fix-er-right great job!!

That Honda sounds fantastic Joe, good job Well Done. If the little Yamaha was human, he’d have a grin from ear to ear! (and I guess you did too). Love how you bring these old bikes back to life. Small bikes are where it’s at. Cheers Joe… onto the next! 👍😎❤️✅
