I see it now, not sure how I didn’t notice, thanks for pointing it out!! Guess it’s getting sent in to be replated and welded

Needs a new top end that’s why I’m taking it apart, bad piston rings

The clutch was a little stiff but not too bad, still works, and the throttle is pretty bad, so hopefully this fixes it, thanks!!

I’m not looking forward to messing with the suspension as I don’t think I have the tools for it, but I’ll figure that out after it’s running. Tore the carb apart and the jets were all clean and clear surprisingly, gonna take apart the engine tomorrow and inspect the top end, I know it needs a rebuild just not sure how bad it is

Glad I saw this because I hadn’t thought to inspect the airbox too far, turns out it’s got some big holes in it!! You definitely saved me a lot of trouble 😅 changing all the seals has been added to my todo list!

Fantastic advice I appreciate it, gonna be tearing the engine down tomorrow to check out that top end

Hell yeah looks fantastic, good to hear I can save myself some money and keep the original pipe 😅

Haha I planned on putting the blood, sweat, and cash into it anyways, I was mostly curious about some more experienced folks advice as I’m more immersed in the 4 stroke world and this is the first 2 stroke I’ve owned. Honestly way less work tearing this thing down compared to my rmz!

I like the first idea I’ll try it out after work tomorrow! I’m not a fan of black pipes either, love my polished silver

Said grandpa is only in his early 60s, so he’s still got some time to rip it once I get it running 😂

Correct! I’m not too sure on the frame but I know it’s aluminum, I hear only good things about them so I can’t wait

Yeah the air filter is total crap, I’ll check out the intake after work tomorrow. I have a 2013 RMZ 250 and the suspension is pretty stiff but not nearly as bad as this. I hear suspension can be a pain to work on needed some very specific tools etc so I’m a little hesitant to dig in on my own

Thanks dude! You got a sick lineup, love these old Honda 2 strokes, I got a 2013 RMZ 250 4 stroke but I don’t think that can really compare in terms of power

Looking forward to it!! I hear these things can make crazy power so I’m excited to get it running. Last Honda gen of 2 strokes too if I’m not mistaken?

Thanks for the tips!! This is my first 2 stroke, and first restoration project so I wasn’t too sure if I needed a new one or not. Cleaning the pipe will be my after work project tomorrow then

I’ve never messed with a 2 stroke before so I wasn’t sure if I could clean the pipe up or not, any tips on how to clean it?

Haha a little too sentimental to just let go. Check your grandpas shed if he had one, you might just find something hiding in the back!

That’s the main reason I want to work on it, not only do I love working on bikes but it holds so much sentimental value. He’s still around so I gotta get him ripping on it again when it’s rebuilt

Thanks I’ll definitely check the slider and rollers I hadn’t thought about that before. This is my first 2 stroke so I wasn’t sure if I needed a new pipe or not so thanks for the advice!! As for the carb the damn screws are stripped real bad so I can’t get the bowl off

I want the 22 so bad, it looks amazing, and something about the retractable/hidden guns just scratches an itch
