absolutely love your content! You, mortske, vice grip garage and junkyard digs have taught me so much! I grew up around antique indians myself. My grandfather had a garage full of indians. from hill climb bikes all the way to old 50's chief's. as i remember he even had some from frames and engines from the late 1910's, think 18 or 19. all of it got sold to wheels through time museum in one of the carolina's

Regular viewer here! I watched this when you originally released it, but watching again as I’m still reviving a “gifted to me” 1974 xl125 EXACTLY like yours. (Hey, you don’t have a spare exhaust pipe do you?😜) Unrelated trivia: I noticed this was pre you using the word “carburoster”. 😊

I cut my teeth on a 1975 XR75. Rode it and rebuilt myself bout 4 or 5 times. When I was older dug it out of shop for my kids. Spent bout an hour cleaning it up luring it. Fresh gas clean carb fired up 3rd kick. Had an original 1st year atc 90 to, it need cleaned up and tires but fired up 3rd or 4th pull. My kids rode those two til they were to big for them. Oh the memories. Great vid Bud, 👌

This brings back memories. Everyone had various Hondas growing up. CT 70's, CT 90's, XR 75's and 80's various XL's. I don't know of anyone who bought a complete bike. We would horse trade and scrounge for parts and put them together. We would throw everything but money at them and we had a blast. A few years later and we were doing the same thing with cars and trucks. Wrench all weekend so with luck the car would take me to school and work for a week and then do more wrenching. Good times!

to get the valve collets out,use a long reach socket slightly smaller than the diameter of the spring .Strike it quckly and they will release.

Got 1980 XL 125 s here at the house, gave a bottle of Makers mark whiskey for it, cleaned carb and used to ride it around my property maybe to town now and then. A few weeks back put a 150 big bore kit on it, shes a screamer now...

C clamp, notch out old socket pop em right lose. Ugly but functional. Check your intake valve well they usually bend a little at the top and want to hang up in guide. Yeah sometimes you don't know til you pull it apart.

Interesting revisiting the mistakes of your youth. We've all done it. If a bodge gets you going, it's a win. Weld done, 15yo Chad... And some years later middle age Chad can make his own bolts. Learning curve in action.

I am actually learning a lot. How does the exhaust valve get bent?
@ThisNThatGarage2 жыл бұрын
The valves have to be in time with the piston coming up so they don't hit each other. When the timing chain came off the exhaust valve was open and then the piston came up and hit it.
