That piston looked like my kdx 175 piston which I had bore over to 200. Maybe it's just the camera angle.
The 465 piston is way bigger
@@davesfordperformancegarage4511 What I'm saying is that the 465 piston looked alot smaller than it should.
He is Jimmie part 2
We know ted
I currently have a 2.3 in my '27 chopped model T and i think a turbo is just what it needs. What is a good reliable blow thru setup for these motors?
Kicking a fresh big bore for the start always sucks, especially if it's a bit chilly out
Awesome work
Thanks
How’s the low to mid throttle response with that C&S aerosol? Curious because I have a billet 900 and not sure if it’ll be good for street driving or not
Throttle response seemed ok but I could never get a consistent idle and I could never seem to get good afr's throughout the full rpm range and boost levels, I was a pain to tune,,ended up putting a holley terminator on it ,easier to to adjust everything
@@davesfordperformancegarage4511 Yeah right I suspected as much, they’re definitely odd without a proper booster, pretty much just designed for WOT at the drag strip I think. I’m thinking of getting a Holley or Quickfiel main body and using the other parts. That’s a really interesting build you’ve got there, it’s so unique I love it. Thanks for the reply
Did you use 82 465 clutch plates in the 88-90 rm 250 clutch basket or the 88 250 clutch plates. Need to know this as I am going to do this for my82 465
I used the 89 clutch plates
@@davesfordperformancegarage4511 have you got the bike back together with new bore and started it up and rode with the new clutch. How is this new clutch system working. Have any issues or bugs to tweak out. Thanks for video and information 👍
@@user-td9rj5fy4q not yet, I'll make a video about it
@@davesfordperformancegarage4511 sorry to bother you again but did you use the 465 inner hub too. Or do you have to use a 88-90 one in place of 465 one
@user-td9rj5fy4q I used the rm465 inner
Nice
That bike is gorgeous. It’s going to be amazing
I run this in VP110 and a riding buddy told me he hates the way my exhaust smells. I'll never fully trust him because of this...
You shouldn't trust him. I think it smells good,the best two stroke smell
@@davesfordperformancegarage4511 I’d wear it as cologne if I wore cologne, lol Just cracked open a new bottle yesterday but the color is different. Normally it looks like what you’ve got in the mix tube, but this one is a very bright red - especially compared to the kinda red/brown that I’m used to. Have you seen this before?
@Mr_Eyeholes I haven't noticed a color difference. Sometimes when I run out gas in my mower I'll dump a gallon or so of premix into it, it makes mowing the grass much more enjoyable
@@davesfordperformancegarage4511 So I just called their customer service and they have changed dyes. It’s going to be bright red from now on, and they said the change was due to people calling about the color becoming more brown over time while sitting on the shelf.
@@davesfordperformancegarage4511 It bugged me enough that I called their customer service to ask. Turns out they've changed the color of the dye to bright red in an effort to alleviate people's concerns that the oil had "gone bad" since the last (brownish red) dye would get darker over time while sitting on the shelf. So now they're getting a bunch of calls from people that are concerned over how bright it is, hahaha
Rebuilding my 1983 suzuki rm500 can't wait till I'm finished
Pulling with the pick up all ways works
The DG silencers are horrible for performance, I raced a rode a 82 RM465 from 2009-2013- once I replaced the DG silencer with a stock length aftermarket- wow what a difference in mid-top end!
That's good to know, love the comment sections!
@@albertking7012same 👍🇦🇺
I had a Yamaha IT 465 and theres no way on earth i could use my hand to turn the engine over. If it backfired it could break your leg.I’m thinking your ideal compression is around 140-160 psi…Also a great technique i learned on starting big bore bikes…..and any two stroke bikes in fact…..turn on the gas and choke….lean the bike over till the fuel comes out if the overflow… stand the bike back up, kick slowly to compression just past top dead centre or until the compression stroke eases slightly…and THEN, give it the beans…..it always seems to work and looks pretty cool too. Good luck 🤞🏼🏁
@dean754 I’ve taken a screenshot of your tip I’ll try it on my it 490 and rm 500 when the time comes 👍🇦🇺
Rare and cool.i remember back in the day every one was on a yz or the new cr 480 back in those early early 80s..which makes that 465 .rare and cool
Air leaks are the sneaky gremlins on a two smoker.
Starting fluid in the cylinder head..
Beautiful build. Who did you buy the tank decals through? I have a 1982 rm80 and rm125. I’m looking for better than what I have. Bought thru eBay. Seller in Australia. Not the greatest. They are bubbling. Thanks 🙏
If I remember correctly I git them from DC plastics, and they get them from a place in England but I can't remember the company's name
@@davesfordperformancegarage4511 thanks very much. I’ve bought from them before. Didn’t know they sold decals. I’ll check it out 👍
i got one aswell need to get it running, great video!
The real question is would the Suzukis have made it on 100 to 1.....
Suzuki, kinda like the Ford of motorcycles,probably not
Is it as good as old Union Carbide in the steel bottle?
Might be better, but I remember it coming in a steel can
@@davesfordperformancegarage4511 yeah, can. Still got one or two
The Super Cobra Jet left out like it was on Nitrous.....
That's the difference between my car that ran an 11.97 and his at a 15.35 if I remember correctly
Teddy the DRAFT DODGER is a disgrace
Do you need another RM 250 ? YES! I also see a vintage full floater in the background.
Your correct,I do need another one, that's an 1982 rm465 ,you can see that bike in my other videos
Mitaka. Japanese, I believe.
Do you know that rm465 piston would go to rm400 1980
I have no idea
Where do you find your parts? I've been scouring the Internet for seats and can't find any.
I've bought very few new parts yet. I have some old catalogs from about 10 years ago and they made alot of interior parts, but lately I don't see much available for interior. They do make some sheet metal parts for them now only because they are the same for a fairlane
Thank you for making the Comet videos. I have a 66 Caliente convertible that needs a lot of the same work.
Looks great! You're doing some nice work! Cool to see other people rebuilding the oldies Nice KDX too, had a 200 and 220, loved them both, but had to sell them.
Thanks, I have alot of fun working on them
Hello dave, That rm is looking sweet,real eyecatcher,looking forward to the end result........😎👍
I'm getting close
Would have been great if Trump came out and said, " Booger."
I'm not criticizing your video bro, but you gotta look at. The fact that in many cases, most of the things that 4 engineers came up with was to make it better so so please stop criticizing everything that you see has a change for the worst. Because you don't really kfor you and for anyone that's watching that could be it. A change for the worst? What I've seen so far. It looks like they're trying to make it more efficient, so so let them show you what they have done and then make the corrections that you see, that need to be changed. That's how essenger has made. Its money is by making things different and making them better performance minded. What you're showing is doing nothing but criticizing. Everything that has been done to make those engines better. What a world of difference between me, old 2.3 Lima and a new 2.3 Lima with a dual spark plugs per cylinder that made a world of difference in that engine, so you should be looking towards what? Else can they do, but we see it today. A 2.3 l is based off of 350 horsepower plus So please stop criticizing me engine. Start looking for the good things about it. Because obviously it's a good engine because it's been used in trip. Le track racing for the last 40 years. It's not a dumb dumb engine.You just have to be smarter than it
I agree with you that the engineers are trying to make it better,but as a hot rodder it makes things difficult at times with changing this . Obviously you didn't see my other videos I've with a 2.3l turbo 1963 falcon,I love these little motors. I also have an 1986 svo mustang
'promo sm' 🎶
6:53 The eternal struggle of a Ford Fan like myself. It's a true love/hate relationship with their engineers. Some stuff is cleverly designed and ingenious, some stuff just feels like the engineers were betting each other how convoluted they could make a part!
So true
Did you hear that Galaxie squawk into 2nd.😂 That 69 GT is badass!!
I do know a guy who welds aluminum... He hasn't been cheap lately. I have some parts that I have to make yet that could go with it to lighten the cost if you are not in a hurry.
I'll get them to you
Running fat
#stopgreenscreenpeople
Hello dave, That rm looks fantastic,i thought about getting some of them gpi radiators as mine are a little beat up.....they do look the part,cant wait to see it finished👍👍
If I wasn't trying to put an 89 motor in a 91 frame they would of fit great on the 89
Ummmm…..

I hate seeing Chinese parts going on a Japanese bike but you gotta do what you gotta do. Your doing Gods work saving those bikes. I'm working on my 91 trek mountain bike while watching this. I just think of some 20 year old kid riding it in 20 years from now.
With everything being made in China its hard not to get some. Used ones are all worn out and I can't afford an NOS one at $180
You need some nice chevy signs in your garage
I'm thinking that's never going to happen
Things might start running right 😁
Hello dave, This is gona look sweet,youve got some nice parts to go on her........that chinese kick start looks just the job dave,i need one for my 89 rm 125, do you have a link as to where i can find one? Thanks again dave Rick👍
Kick starter was from Ebay, did you only want two cans of paint ?
Hi dave Thanks, i have just had a look on amazon and found one that looks near like the 125 one, Thanks,yeah was just the two cans please Cheers dave
Looking forward to seeing this done dave,looking real nice
My goal is to have it running a year from now or sooner,hopefully by the end of summer as money allows
@@davesfordperformancegarage4511 😎 I have an 89 125 to build.......so looking at yours for insperation😀👍
I remember wanting that same seat cover on my 91’ RM 250, prepping for 92&93 circuit @ Baja, Bulldog and down to Mustangs outside of Brighton!!
Looks good. I did mine with a gloss black, but then changed it to mat black. Mat isn't as flat as flat black.
You do an excellent job of getting all that an 8N has to give 😊
Love Ted's patriotism ,... but,..... adopt Jimmy Hendricks version please ., not too good here
