I get the Yamaha gt80 running and take it out for a top speed test. Thanks for watching and subscribing! New videos every other day! Instagram: 2_vintage_ Snap: the2vintage
When I turned 10 this exact bike was my first! 5 up neutral all the way down! I remember the fork seals were blown so the forks would clank every bump! It was a good bike for a little kid because of the Yamalube. Just pour the gas in and go! No premix for a kid to mess up! Loved the head light. I used to ride the fields across the street until 9-10 every night during summer. My cousin and me fabricated a little ski out of a plastic sled for the winter. Actually worked! Have a lot of memories on that little bike!!

When the pins and the surface of the links they rub against wear, the chain effectively lengthens and that's what causes the sprocket's teeth to "bend". It happens to both sprockets, so the chain and both sprockets must be replaced together. If they aren't all replaced, the one that hasn't been changed will cause the others to fail prematurely.

ha! reminds me of the MX80 I had, bought it used in the early 1990's, someone replaced the exhaust with an aftermarket street pipe(used as a pit bike I think), it was very clean and I ran the snot out of it, no speedometer but topped out at like 43mph, clocked on road, beside a car and sheriff once 🤣 they made me push it all the way home, while following behind me, it was about a mile and up a huge hill and few rollers, that really sucked, but that was the only punishment I got. 🙃

I had 2 of these in the early 90d. It was my first step up from a mini bike with no gears to something with gears and a clutch. I rebuilt both of them but my first one was way faster than the other one . IDK But seemed like my first one would easily hit mid 50s mph but I had no speedometer

I had one when I was a kid (before I had my drivers license) and I rode with all my friends that had CR80's and KX80s and there was no comparison. Those bikes were land missiles and in hindsight, I was probably just along for the laughs. I managed to get my hands on a RM250 later on and you really had to pay attention to what you were doing if you had any intention of putting the front wheel back on the ground.

I know a lot of starters on like Harley’s kick out and connect with the rear primary gear where the clutch is and starts spinning the motor over and I’ve had some where they won’t connect all the way because the starter is shot and will just spin making a grinding noise. It might also be one of those gears is slipping. I don’t know if that’s the way the Suzuki is but it’s worth looking at the starter area by exposing the clutch.

On the turbo bike try putting it in gear and turning the flywheel a bit and it may disengage the bendix if it’s stuck. Just rock the bike in gear with the clutch out and maybe that will help otherwise you may have to pull the starter

that was the very first thing everyone disabled and got rid of, the(blow up your bike, oiler system) yeah, it happened all too often, on every brand that had them. still happens to this day on 2-strokes with oiler systems(boats, jet ski's etc.) warning lights fail, people forget to check, something clogs, hose breaks, etc. mixed gas and oil is always the right amount, unless the carb jetting is way off or someone sugars/alcohols your pre-mixed fuel (yeah, I'm still remembering you old neighbor) they cost me and a friend three bike engines, but I'm still here and they're long gone from the area. 🤨
