This channel is for motorcycle riders, mechanics, and enthusiasts who enjoy the simple joys of motorcycling, from dual sport riding to fixing up old bikes on a budget. My videos also consider the perspective of short motorcycle riders (when it’s helpful and relevant) in choosing and modifying bikes and equipment.
I’ve been hooked on motorcycles since 1975 when, at the age of 11, my dad brought home a shiny new Suzuki TM75 for me and a Suzuki TC185 for himself so that we could trail ride together in the hills of West Virginia. Since then I’ve worked as a mechanic, owned countless bikes, and even worked in the motorcycle industry for a number of years as a photographer and journalist. Now I do mainly video production and enjoy nothing more than making and sharing these motorcycle videos on TH-cam.
Thanks again for watching. Ride safe!

Jimmo, you are making great progress on the scrambler. First I love the steel wool and drill bit trick, second, I never knew that it was possible to lubricate a brake cable, and third you showed the inside of a motorcycle drum brake. You taught me three things today.
Thanks so much for following along! I love the simple little tricks, too. And the cable lube tool is something I just recently bought...for years I'd make a little paper funnel around the cable end and fill it with oil, letting gravity do the lubricating. With this new tool it forces the lube down through the cable and it's super slick! It instantly got a place in my "favorite tools" drawer.

This yamaha soooo lucky that you met each other!!! :)
Thank you for this series so much great knowledge
Good video. Much more than expected, thanks.
First bike i ever owned. Wanted red but ended up with blue. Loved that bike.
I am addicted to this channel!
Just saw that you crimped those connectors on the fuse incorrectly. The larger crimp should be over the insulation, and the thinner crimp is on the bare wire.
Which filler gauges used for valves?
I am commenting as I am watching this series. I am impressed not only by your abilities for working on this bike, but the production of these video's is at the top of the best I have seen.
Who is taking all the video's and editing for final outcome?
Also, you like Ed Harris too! :)
Hey, kezug, I'm doing all of the filming and editing for the videos, also. It takes quite a bit of extra time to set up the camera and film everything while working on the bike, but that was part of the fun for this particular project. Helping people out and comments like yours make it all very worthwhile. Thanks!
me gustan mucho tus videos, poseo una moto como la tuya, te felicito, saludos jimmy
Gracias, Angel, te lo agradezco. ¡Viaja seguro!
Could you send a link for the tank? The link in the description doesn’t work.
Love the video series, some quality content. I just bought my own exciter, and was curious if you had any good links for parts. The local Ohio shops don't carry much for it.
Hey, Dan, congrats on getting the Exciter! Since it's an older bike you sometimes have to hunt for parts. For accessories there's always eBay and for OEM parts I'll look them up on Rocky Mountain ATV or Bike Bandit. Sometimes I'll find the parts I want on there and then ask my local shop if they can order them for me, just to support the local shops. Hope this helps!
What bars did you switch to?
What's brand is that rear sprocke?
Where did you get specs for the valve adjustments?
Hi Zackery, lacking a manual for the bike all specs were found through Google search. A quick look online turned up this thread (I hope it helps!): yamahaclub.com/forums/topic/35200-sr250-help/
