[redworry]

WOO, THE 2 STROKE BEGINS! =D

[Johnnysshop]

@redworry :)

[MrAssassinboy]

hey could you help me out. I am in the process of putting my yz 125 back together but i cant remember how that plastic plug peice type thing that comes out of the cdi box stays there. Does it bolt somewhere or does it just sit there i cant remember thanks.

[Johnnysshop]

@MrAssassinboy Not sure I know what part you're talking about... Have a pic?

[yzprocircuit335]

Where do you buy all of you bikes that you rebuild? I'm looking to rebuild a kx250f but can't find anything.

[Johnnysshop]

@yzprocircuit335 Usually Craigslist. I've found that when I'm really looking hard for something I never find it. It's always when I'm not really looking.. LOL

[GodfatherMaxi]

What advice can you give me ,when you open an engine ,to put the pieces to fit so you replace it back be fixed .

[dirtrox72]

Hye did u sell your yz250f? i hope not...

[Johnnysshop]

@dirtrox72 Still there. You can see the rear wheel on the left hand side of the vid :)

[incapabledub]

friend of a friend has a 98 yz250 for sale... might pick it up when i finish building my kx

[Johnnysshop]

@incapabledub I wish I would have held out for a 250 really.

[incapabledub]

@Johnnysshop the 125 is nothing to be sniffed at! i got an 84 that needs this same treatment, if work keeps treating me right i will have to do a similar channel, inspired by you of course, youre the first youtuber i got into.

[Johnnysshop]

@incapabledub :) Thanks! 

[incapabledub]

@Johnnysshop youre welcome man, i'd love to do some heavy diesel engineering videos for my channel but it's so noisey and i'd be shy on camera. but watching people like you make me realise there are only a few good channels out there, keep up the fix it videos mate! love from the UK

[mrHansen122]

hey mate i loved your 250f series and props for that, but it seems like u have lost interest or dont really feel excited to do it. but let me tell you mate were all excited for you to do this bike so get pumped coz where all cheerin for ya  cheers from Australia

[Johnnysshop]

@mrHansen122 I have a lot of interest just not enough time. I've been really busy at work so I've been exhausted. It should get better by the end of this month :)

[OLLY605]

Sweet man, lets gets this project underway lol!

You deff gotta paint the frame black like on your 250f!!!

[Johnnysshop]

@OLLY605 :LOL.. We'll see.

[OLLY605]

@Johnnysshop Cool lol

[ChristophersGarage]

you should get this top end bored and ported by eric gorr

[Johnnysshop]

@ChristophersGarage Not sure what I'm doing yet :)

[crfracing9]

125 are so simple to work on! i love them

[Johnnysshop]

@crfracing9 They sure are!

[heliooable]

@Johnnysshop so are you going to be doing a hole top and bottom end on this bike...also I just got my yz125 bored out to a 144 if I score my cylinder will I be enable to resleeve it and put a stock bore or buy a whole cylinder

[billyman1221]

@heliooable u can buy a new sleeve i think there like 100 to 200 bucks 

[Johnnysshop]

@heliooable Not sure yet. The cylinder may be okay actually. I doubt big bore, it cost more almost as much as the bike would be worth.

[olsm2011yeah]

I'm going to love this series. Love your videos!

[Johnnysshop]

@olsm2011yeah Thanks!

[hhfleury]

Most people don't realize that this takes a lot of time and effort. Thank you, I really appreciate your sacrifice to help people like me learn!

[Johnnysshop]

@hhfleury Thanks, I appreciate the kind words! Yes, you are correct. Most also don't realize my time doubles when trying to film :(

[aLexOFWGKTA]

Yes! Can't wait for all these videos to come!

[Johnnysshop]

@aLexOFWGKTA Thanks! It will take a little time...

[heliooable]

@2stroker125 u have to get a torch and heat up the back of the case but dont just keep the torch on one part of the engine go around the swingarm also then while your doing that have someone tap the last bolt out

[2stroker125]

@johnnysshop thank you sir!

[yamaharider4ever9]

Been waiting sooooooooo long for this!!!!

[Johnnysshop]

@yamaharider4ever9 Me too, just not enough time!

[iRSandCod]

@Johnnysshop How are the DNA wheels you put on the 250f holding up? Would you recommend them.

[SkinnySkinch]

[Johnnysshop]

@SkinnySkinch Thanks!

[SkinnySkinch]

@Johnnysshop what year is the yz? '98? you get it dirt cheap? blown motor or do you just do a rebuild no matter what

[flashperson]

how do you say you are going to put into this whole project all together... parts, the bike its self, etc..?

[Johnnysshop]

@flashperson I dunno.. I blew it on my last budget. I'd like to stay under 1k. We'll see!

@Johnnysshop

It would be really nice if you'd show how to repaint the frame! or if not paint it yourself take it to a paint-shop... nice videos BTW I have learned a lot from you, got a Husqvarna 125 my self :)

[Johnnysshop]

@ottoev Thanks! I painted the last one (on my 250F). Not sure I will do this one..

[Johnnysshop]

@ottoev There are videos on the 250f paint also.

[BikerFail16]

Sweet!! Finally somthing to do with my bike, but mine is a little bit newer than that one.

[Johnnysshop]

@BikerFail16 Yeah, I would have liked a newer one but wanted one that needed work.

[BaiIey]

[2stroker125]

My swingarm bearings are seized in my 125 , and the rod won't come out, how do I unsieze them?

[Johnnysshop]

@2stroker125 Try to heat them up with a propane torch and bang the crap outta them!
