@@salvo7288 Glad to help!

@@brian.d.mobley if youre able to answer, my rings sit out a bit from my piston, i assume this is normal as theyll be compressed inside the jug but are they supposed to sit out from the piston or are they supposed to be compressed tight once put on?

@@salvo7288 That’s correct. Yes!

@@brian.d.mobley ok perfect. thank you very much 😁

@@salvo7288 Sure! Be careful compressing those rings. Use plenty of oil and don’t force them into the cylinder. If you look up my KLX engine build video, I discuss how to do it

You can always just read the Honda service manual. Can’t go wrong following the manufacturers recommendations.

So glad to read that! I need to make some more! I’ve been so busy with other things this year! Thanks for watching!

Agree! I bought a plane recently and I’m changing the oil at about 30% of the manufacturers recommended change interval. Can’t hurt! Thanks for watching!

@@brian.d.mobley it most certainly cannot hurt anything! Also give you clues as to how it’s running also . Congratulations on the newly acquired plane !!

@@chadriddle3517 Thanks! Turns out learning to fly is WAY more time consuming than I expected! The amount of study required is really overwhelming.

The little tester size goes a LONG way. That’s the size I find myself buying most often. Thanks for watching!

@@brian.d.mobley i got replies from the Honda cr fb page and most have said half of the tester bottle would be enough to do the pipe also. Thanks for replying.

@@zachdavis2641 I agree. And the shelf life is not that long, so you can’t really save money by purchasing larger quantities because it expires so quickly.

@@brian.d.mobley great. Good to know

@@757machinist I’m not familiar with a crows foot. But if you feel you can do it differently and get the same torque spec, feel free!

@@brian.d.mobley gotcha just figured I’d ask! Thanks for the quick response!

@@757machinist Absolutely! Have fun on your top end job.

@@immusicman You can do it!

I’m not specifically aware of any unique difference between a 1995 CR125 and other bikes, so I would just suggest to use your judgement. At that point in the video, nothing controversial was being shown.

Thanks!

Thanks.

I’m sorry. I don’t work on clone motors. I really don’t know enough to comment.

theres a cam lobe that opens and closes the points

Many manufacturers consider that to be a “non serviceable” bearing. In order words, if it needs replacement, the entire case half must be replaced. It normally won’t wear out. I have removed them with a blind bearing puller, but now I usually leave them alone.

@@brian.d.mobley thanks. I had to buy a used case and the bearings don't feel good and I have new bearings so I may try to replace that one too.

Thanks

I’m assuming you didn’t watch the video as that question is covered in the first two minutes.

Hi. It’s a semi automatic clutch so it’s non adjustable post assembly.

@@brian.d.mobley well is there a intial setting, do i just turn it until i can feel it touching the part the three steel balls ride on, then lock it in place?

Haha. Well I did get that wrong initially, but as the video shows, that mistake was addressed and rectified.

@@brian.d.mobley I know you fixed the mistake in 18 minutes. I was taking my shock apart to clean it today but cant take the shock adjuster off to clean. I will have to strip the shock down to do that. So your video is Amazing on how to strip the shock right down. Thank you for this video. You have save me sending the shock off to be rebuilt.

SO glad it helped! That was an early video and was a little clumsy compared to my newer work. So glad it saved you some trouble!

I don’t think they rebuild motors. Look up SoCalMinitrail on Instagram. They may be able to help.

Thank you. I’ve gotten side tracked a little bit lately working on my Private Pilots License. I had no idea how all encompassing it would be! Thanks for watching.

Glad you liked it! It’s an early one and I was pretty inexperienced with videography back then.

Hi Zach. That is totally normal and usually due to cylinder pressure. Good question!

@@brian.d.mobley thanks for quick reply

@@zachdavis2641 My pleasure!

@@brian.d.mobley another quick question. Should have asked with original question. Do I need to hold the flywheel at T while timing? Or just let the flywheel settle out of t position then set cam gear?

@@burstable252 It’s a free country, so you don’t have to. I’ll just say that if you don’t want to do the job as recommended by the manufacturer, you’re risking the reliability of your repair.

@@brian.d.mobley oh ok thanks

Glad you found it useful! Thank you for subscribing!

It’s really had to say without having the bike in front of me, but my instinct suggests that a non OEM shift lever is being used.

Thank you! Cheers!

I use Honda OEM spec transmission fluid. amzn.to/3Wwn9MZ

It’s really not possible for me to say without having the head in my possession for evaluation. If you’re unsure, take it to a motorcycle dealership and have it evaluated by an experienced mechanic.

@brian.d.mobley thanks for the reply, great video

@@leviharris900 So glad you found it useful! Thanks for watching.

So glad it helped!

Thanks Sunevel!

Hey! I fabricated that out of plate steel. Sorry!!

I’ve applied A LOT of graphics on curved surfaces and while my way takes longer, it SHOULD result in the use of far fewer curse words! Thanks for watching!

Oh man….. It’s hard to say, but go over your service manual carefully and make sure you didn’t miss something!!!

Because this motor powers such a wide variety of bikes, it’s not practical to cover all the variations of the lever install. Sorry.

@@tacroom12 Honestly, i don’t think so. However, TBOLTUSA may have some options for you. They are great for all that performance stuff for smaller bikes.

@@brian.d.mobley thank you Brian. I did find that xr/crf80 forks will mount right up and provide more travel. I found complete sets on eBay at a decent price.

Hey Marc. Cold pressing is actually the factory recommended method, but it’s fine to use the method you suggest. I created a video about different bearing replacement procedures and, for me, I just feel pressured to get everything completed quickly when I use the method you mentioned. Cold pressing is lower stress (for me) and I feel better when I can take my work slow and carefully. But, again, that’s just me. My personality demands precision so I find myself drawn to procedures that suit my OCD nature! Thanks for watching and for sharing your question.

Hey Joey! That is a good question! Honestly, I’m not sure, but there are definitely plenty of them around and available for purchase.

Yes they did lol they got a 50 cc and 110cc

In sand, my guess is that powdercoat would hold up better, honestly.

@@brian.d.mobley thank you

My pleasure, thanks for watching!
