I restored a 1989 rm125 last year fully rebuild the engine and tore it down to the frame and made sure everything was good and replaced everything that needed to be and got it running and looking mint then gave it to a friend of mine who couldn’t afford a dirt bike and he loves it and rides it all the time
Max Johnson wow what a genuine great thing to do
Dude, that is so cool.
Dude can you get clips, that’s heartwarming
I learned more from watching this video than my entire year of 9th grade.
Vlog Epicness OMG I’ve watched every single one of your vids
Quit watching TH-cam in class. Derrr
you should try not messing about at school
As a 9th grader, I can confirm
I’m in 9th grade right now and I can confirm this
I feel like u know more then 99% of mechanics man. Its impressive
Yeah I rescued a 2001 YZ 250F About 9 years ago. I brought it all the way from a blown up engine with metal debris in every oil journal lol it was crazy like nothing I've ever seen. The crankshaft was broken the piston was cracked. My biggest worry was making sure that I got all of the metal debris out of the engine and oil lines. Dropped a Hot Rods big bore kit in it converted it from manual decompression to automatic decompression what a big difference that made. It was a piece of junk sitting on the side of somebody's house for years in Las Vegas Nevada. After everything was said and done it was an extremely nice bike again and it ran like a champion . Time money and effort gets er done and know how.
ian reed ive rescued a few bikes including 1999 yz250 2t and an xr80 also in the middle of another xr80
I've done the same thing with a 2003 rm 125,
@@jayfouracre311 It's something enjoyable and looking for one right now too start on .
I've had my share of finding crazy stuff while opening neglected engines, LOL! But, it is still fun to make them work properly again. The satisfaction of seeing them become like new again is a kick i wouldn't wanna miss. Great vid again!
I love it how you ex-plane everything as disassemble the motor , Great video Cam
Who else was waiting for him to upload
I love engine tear downs, to see what’s inside 😍😍
You have such a great talent for restoration. With all the videos you've done you have to have a great reputation. I think you should be able to make some decent money restoring bikes. It is so satisfying to watch your videos lol.
CEO of rebuilds
Love it when he drops a video
Hi Cameron,I did a 94 kx 250 last winter,I had Eric gorr do my top end with 300 big bore,very happy with the way this bike runs
#D
She's so clapped but glad to see you bring her back to life. Should make for some good vids.
Don't forget to check the other side "female side" of those worn dogs in the adjacent gear. With the rounding on the dogs, there will likely be the same or similar wear on the other gear too.
Also with pressing a steel sleeve into any 2 stroke I have found them to be harder to tune, more prone to cold seizing, and more rattelier. Decently would replate
That poor bike was neglected pretty bad . Good thing you found it and took in as your own. Now you'll bring it back to health like a poor abandoned dog.
First time I've watched a tear down video this is nice I wish I knew how to put all the parts back myself I would do my own engine this is so cool
Wow!! I really hand it to You Cameron, you got this down. This Rm is going to be revived from the Dead. I cant wait!!! Awsome!!!
Hoping to pick up a 94 cr250 this week. I'd I do I'm gonna try to enter the contest. Thanks for the awesome videos and all the info. I've learned allot watching!!
Was really hoping to see a rebuild on a 4stroke. Maybe next one.
Would be awesome to see you do a build with limited tools aswell.
In any case, LOVE your videos mate
And do like a ktm50! That would be dope
Cameron ... You handled the disassembly & inspection like a pro, with a great attitude !
Someone didn't mix the oil correctly by the looks of the piston or ran it hot , maybe.
@CameronNiemela 10:14 a tip for removing stripped screw heads that usually works well is a syringe with valve grind compound. Just a small amount on the end of your bit and it works very well. A good last resort before praying it works haha.
Your videos are so entertaining and educational. I'm excited to see how the bike will turn out at the end!
Good luck an Merry Christmas everybody.
I cannot wait to see this bike and its engine get cleaned. It's gonna be so satisfying.
never clicked so fast on a video. Keep up the hard work Cameron
The top of the cylinder breaking away like that is from detonation. The cylinder head also shows signs as you pointed out.
Just got through rebuilding a 2004 RM125 now splitting a 2004 RM250 I replaced every bearing/seal/bolts all OEM along with the crank/top-end.
I'd recommend Powerseal USA for the cylinder welding & plating and Crankworks out of AZ for the crank rebuild. Pro-X rods are good. I've had great luck with using both companies - both top notch.
Older bikes had phillips head screws for just about everything including covers so the impact driver was the main tool used.
JIS for the japanese ones
@@user-gdxt-7399
Yeah the tools usually come with both types of cross head.
The inside of the motor really tells a story
Greatest dirt bike rebuilder I’ve done seen 💯‼️
What a Christmas ride that was!! All the best to you and yours for the year ahead camstrong!! And to the family of this channel wish you all the best!!!!! Brap✊
Nothing better than watching your videos in the morning😁👌
And for this but you need a big ass socket 😂 7:24. Cam you da man!!! Can’t wait to see this RM when it’s done!
gotta love those impact screwdrivers..... cant even figure the time that thing has saved me over the years
Send the cylinder to millennium technologies in Plymouth wisconsin. They do great work and can fix that cylinder to stock bore or big bore. I sent my yz 125 cylinder to them that was trashed and it came back looking brand new for a little over $300 and that included shipping. Just take the cylinder head studs out and ship it to them . You should have your cylinder back in 3 weeks. They also have a lifetime warranty on the repair !! They also sell piston rings and gaskets but check pricing, I found a complete wiseco top end kit and cometic gasket kit for $100. I think millennium was more expensive for the same kit.
Respect from Brazil!!
I am about to close the cases of my 2002 CR125 Husqvarna after a complete rebuild. Now I'll be looking for another MX bike to rebuild. I have been doing this since the 60s as a hobby on my own bikes. Cameron has a cleaner shop than mine. I rebuilt the crank myself. I have not polished the engine but thinking about it. Good job Cameron.
Hey Cam, Thanks for the Build contest! It's given me the needed motivation to start a project!
It's crazy how all the Japanese bikes are so similar inside the cases. Thanks for the video Cameron. Good refresher course since I'm rebuilding my 2001 cr 125 engine in January.
Great video. Good job Nick. That was funny and awesome.
Ricky carmichael is gonna be blowin ur phone up wanting this bike when ur done with it haha
That's what I was thinking 😂
Ol Ricky can suck it trebek. Cam already set up the giveaway for us. He can enter like everyone else 🤣🤣
Ricky entered the giveaway😂
Cameron Niemela 😲
That "shavings" is clutch material from the clutch slipping
They could be but I reckon that someone poked something through the old clutch basket and jammed it up against the webbing on the case in order to loosen the clutch nut, they then broke the webbing off and did not bother to get the broken bits out of the engine! Some people should have their tools confiscated because of the cruelty that they inflict on mechanical devices.
Nah nah nah, he got it with the top off, its water ffs
Correct. Those years of RM's, the stock clutch was garbage. My 01 RM250 was my favorite bike ever, but the stock clutch was trash in less than 5 hours. My Barnett replacement lasted for years though.
No, it's aluminium from the basket and hub.
I always get notifications about your new videos while I am at work. It makes me even more excited to get out of work. It always makes me sad when I see what happens to some dirt bikes....I wish I could save them all!
Oh cam bro. My little brother brought home a 01 Honda 250r today. I get to go after some reruns of earlier this year. I'm so stoked. May enter in the contest. I now get to refer to your channel. STOKED
Pumped to see this thing take shape!!
Another great video. I loved the part that was like an aspca commercial. You make me freakin laugh.
Thanks! Haha that's what Nick was going for!
Cool project can't wait to see it go down ! Wish the cylinder wasn't sleeved tho. You can get the crank rebuilt at millennium or crank works .
Cameron is the Man. Mad Skills. Raw Talent
21:15 stresses me out with everything being spread out all over the bench and nothing bring bagged separately 😭😂
Cody Piscitelli ok I thought it was just me. Lmao I was like 😯 it’s giving me anxiety 🤣
Stop motion was awesome haha!
Best instructional vids on TH-cam hands down! Tought me lots👍🏻
If only dirt bikes here in philippines are not that much expensive. But just watching this rebuild videos much like saving them. Keep rollin'. Advance merry christmas though.
good stuff Cameron it's a pleasure watching a real pro in action.
Really liking this build Cameron. Cant wait to ride my new bike.
Loved watching you tear down the engine and explaining what you were looking for
Goodmorning y’all from Philippines.merry Christmas 😊
That impact driver can make your life as a mechanic easy.
I hope i have 1
"sometimes the crankshaft needs a little help with a rubber mallet" *pulverizes the crank*

xd gangster69 what's with your profile pic?
@@maxbarrett5973 lol
@@maxbarrett5973 duh, he is obviously a gangster white kid...
@@xterrential I know, you don't have to call me a white kid
at 10.5 mins into this i'm seeing a previous clutch destruction,hence the metal flakes and pings. top end was a given on older bike with top end pre removed. either way i'd replace crank while cases are split.i know you will build this to 110%. keep it going and keep kicking caner ass! merry christmas to you and your soon to be bride!
Never a dull moment in Pryme Tyme. Thanks Cam !
Looks like how my 1999 rm125 engine looked like. Buying a used bike, its always interesting of what you will find and see how people take care of there bikes. Awsome video and I hope you and your family have a great Christmas and new year.
I cant believe there such an human like you can rebuild machines..OMG i hope i have skill like you LoL..loving ur videos so far..i wish i be can your student someday hahaha
The coolest part of the give away is the winner can see his new ride rebuilt! Amazing videos
Crank Works for the crank. Awesome work.
Neglected is an understatement !
Now that's the way tp properly restore a motorcycle and im still praying for you brother
lmao "for this nut you need a big ass socket for it". loving the videos so far!
Wanted to stop by and say thanks for the WC discount code, used it on a set of Pro Pegs Ti foot pegs and it helped out on the price. Thanks!
Merry Christmas to you and Haley hope you have a wonderful new year looking forward to the new build best regards Sean
Such a nice thing of you to give a bike away like this. Already entered as soon as I saw the opportunity. Great work👍🏽
I've been waiting soooooooo long for this next build! TH-cam is worth watching again! Now if I could convince the wife to let me do a total tear down of my 04 YZ450F
This is going to be a great rebuild to watch
Dude thanks for finally doing a series on ( pimping out ) a RM 250 two-stroke I am a RM 250 nutcase with a 2003 and I had a Ricky Carmichael edition 2006 RM 250 two-stroke so rock on with it BROTHER
Awesome video Cameron!you really know yur stuff!
Ken O Connor Racing for your crankshaft rebuild. Super happy with his work!!
Cameron spreading the Christmas cheer for all to hear. Good job dude!
You should send it to Eric Gorr for a big bore kit, love the vids, happy holidays Cameron!
These rebuild videos are great for me helping me learn how to 1 day fix my own bike keep these videos coming love them!
I owned a 2002 RM250. I loved that bike. In 2004, I had to do a rebuild due to rounded-off gear dogs. It would randomly pop out of 4th gear to a false neutral; not fun. I forgot how much work it was!
heat works very well for splitting cases. just put a little pressure on it and run your heat evenly around the seam. the cases will literally pop apart
Damn you, the neglected dirtbike animation almost made me tear up. Myself, I gave done the right thing , I resurrected a little suzuki dr that after being used as a rental, was left in a shop as a parts bike wirh a busted crankshaft, was stripped of some parts and was abandoned for 3 years under an olive tree.
Great vid bro. With the trans gears, if one or two are bad, id replace them all. I know its a budget build, but i would want to know my internals are 100. Clutches and all that , id take the risk. Either way im very disappointed with the person who owned this bike. Damn terrible shame that this bike was neglected the way it was. Keep up the good work brother!! 👌🇺🇸
O yeah, and Merry Christmas Cam!! Thanks for all the great videos!!
Love to watch you work and am glad your back to normal
so many parts on water cooled bikes, the power valve alone has more
parts than my entire air cooled engine😀
your gonna need a trolley at the rocky mountain store.
Rebuild the Crank with Pro-X and/or OEM and re-plate the cylinder *shift paws and springs would REPLACE* being 15+ years old.
Been a while since I've watched one of your videos. Glad to see you healthy again man. Love the 2 smoker video
That swingarm wow, Probably blew a clutch basket to bust case
I’m eating this up man! LOVE your build series. Give away or not, this is why I subscribe! You have great build content!
amazing brothers
Very impressive! Very educational and easy to follow (even just sitting watching for brain keeps). Thank you and have yourself a back pat or several 👏🏻🤘🏻
Btw Cameron you are very inspiring to watch!!! Keeps me motivated. About to head down to my dirtbike cabin turn on some tunes, crank on the heater and starting tearing shit apart!!!
nick killed it with that bike build promo video lol
Thanks for more rebuild videos - awesome to see you doing well brother!
I was going to ask if a wrench rabbit kit wouldn't be less expensive than all those rebuilds but they're proud of those RM parts! I blame TP199!
Nice & Happy holidays Cam
Uff, lots of surprises haha, nothing you can't manage bro🤟🏻
Pryme time rebuild great job as always God bless you and your family take care of yourself
Im only 12 and would love to rebuild a bike and have some fun with it, I rebuilt my dads older 1995 kx 250 and it was a whole lot of fun, would love to rebuild another bike
Work hard, save some money, buy a basket case, or barn find, and take your time to rebuild it. You can do anything you set your mind to - even if your only 12.
@@dansmotorsports Respect💪
I'm 15 and i restored a 1990 dt 175 2 years ago and got it all set up for trail riding and stuff. Cost me so much tho
Never get married or have kids...and you'll be a rich man.
Ask your dad....and he will probably say yes
126er I think I’m rebuilding a quad this time, 2001 raptor 660 and it’s been sitting for 15 years can’t wait for it
