Anybody else here like me? I dont own a motorcycle, I'm not a mechanic, matter of fact I've barely even ridden a motorcycle and yet I'm still here because i love the content Craig and Dan put out!!
The Honda xr is such a great little bike. Have some first hand experience rebuilding an xr200 engine. Growing up my kx100 cracked a piston skirt off into the bottom end. My family wasn't well off so getting my bike rebuilt wasn't an option. My friends dad rebuilt the engine completely for free with a new piston and everything, just so I could get back out and ride. It meant the world to me at the time. Years later as an adult and a dad myself now, I payed it forward and did the same for the neighbor kid across the street. Kid had an 83 I believe xr200 he got from the back of a barn and absolutely riiiiipped!! One day the old bike finally gave out. Kid was totally bummed out. I saw my opportunity to keep this kid on the trails and was able to finally pay such an amazing favor back in a way.
I agree, I recently stopped watching an auto show, he puts out good content but is so busy, he apparently doesn't have time to edit. I stopped when he put out a three-hour video. He's not making Gone with the wind, it's you-tube.
Im in a depression and the only moment when i feel a little bit happyness is when i see a new video. Just 30minutes of no bullshit in my head and have full attention for the vid🎉
As said elsewhere: keep up the battle. Do you know this dude? - Alan Millyard: th-cam.com/video/oh2E6rf_wpk/w-d-xo.html The man helps me to keep my sanity. A Zen moment on youtube
I would be a rich man if I actually had all my parts up front. I really appreciate the real world that you live. It’s like hanging out with two buddies in my shop! Keep up the great work. Since watching your videos I have gone from 1 bike to 4 and looking at an older bmw R bike now!
I have an old Honda XR250 which has a seized gearbox so seeing my favorite motorcycle channel fixing a XR is really cool. please keep making 10/10 content .
I learned 2 new things watching this video, and I very much appreciate that. I know engine rebuilds are likely unpleasant, but they are very informative. Hope you do more, once you clear out your current workload.
Hey Craig, just some food for thought.. As a precision machine builder, we have had multiple issues manipulating the temperature of parts for assembly. As condensation forms when the parts cool, or heat up, it creates corrosion between said parts. Any time a ferrous metal is involved, you should be cautious about applying or removing heat to aid with fitment.
Best weekly notification to start off a weekend. I save watching it until late Friday night and watch right before bed. Everyone needs a Craig. Screw that Greg guy.
I love these bikes because the resale value never stops. For example, it took me 3 years to part-out my 2019 YZF450. It took me 12 hours to sell my CRF230. Old racing 4 strokes are pretty much worthless, however, XR's and CRF/F's hold their resale value.
As Paul Cox's says from FabRats (we do it nice cause we do it twice). I can't believe you did the Golden Nugget Rokon. That's what got me started with all this bike restoration.
I love your channel. You and Dan are 2 awesome individuals. If you were 10 parts short on repairing a bike you can get it running. Amazing mechanic and amazing photographer.
Hi Craig, remember your manual impact you use with a hammer? That is what I always used on any Phillips steel fastener screwed into aluminium on any Honda, it always worked like a charm I was a bike mechanic apprentice in the early 80's and I always wished Honda would change for Allen head botls especially on engine cases. :)
I'm pretty sure that the screwdriver he was using is also an impact driver. At least, mine is and they look exactly alike. It's JIS also and indeed works like a charm.
No motorcycle restoration/rebuild seems real until that last minute run for parts. I remember putting piston and rings in dirt bikes as a youngster, we always had to make a run to the parts store for RTV, gasket material, or missing hardware.
Originally from Youngstown, Oh., left in 1994, now living in Ft. Myers, FL. I'm envious, you folks are enjoying the fall season and the cooler weather. By the way, I have a feeling anywhere Dan is he may consider a petting zoo. But her in SWFL, we seem to have only two seasons, summer and Indian summer and we are about 3 months from indian summer. Always enjoy your videos.
Your screw up's make for great videos for all of us watching. Loving the channel guy's and can't wait for the next video. Stay safe and keep it up. Thanks for the video.
I'm never gonna complain about an extra video. You guys are entertaining, and most importantly informative. Keep up the amazing work, and content guys. Might not be a bad idea to take a few days and organize that shop though lol. A clean workplace makes for a clean headspace!
Great video as usual. I felt your pain with the piston rings, just when you were wanting to get it all together! Looking forward to the next instalment 👍
my Dad was a heavy equipment mechanic / operator and I remember him using dry ice and a torch from gas welder to do same thing as you with freezer and heat gun
Absolute entertainment, and I learned a bunch! You can take all the time you need, more videos for us! Go Craig, and Dan, and Greg, keep moving forward!
Nice to see the late John Clarke vid cut in where you talk about the front falling off. A very smart, very funny man much loved by Australians and New Zealanders.
These go for a ton of money in my area. Been looking for one in similar condition to how you picked this one up but they’re hard to find! Working on a similar vintage DR250 for now. Loving the series!
My first bike, a 1982 XR500R, with its ankle-breaking kick-start, I was the envy of my friends who still bear the scars of futile kicks inevitably busting up their shins. Most reliable dirt bike ever made.
I'm in the process of rebuilding my XR350 from 1984. There are almost no parts available here in Germany, but for some reason I love to work on this bike :D
I have a 1978 SR500 Yamaha Because of the only recently discontinued SR400 and it's similarity to the SR500 I can get just about anything I need from the local Yamaha dealership except parts for the rear master cylinder and caliper, the rear discs were only available on the US/Australian 2J2 models in 78/79
@@hodaka1000 You're lucky... The XR is complete but needs some engine parts. The crankshaft is slightly bent, so I also plan to split cases and replace all bearings and oil seals, which cost about $450 for new OEM parts. It took months to find the timing chain slide rails (from Spain and America), while the camshaft came from Israel. Valves were easy to source. Luckely my top end looks great as it's only available in very worn condition. One gearbox gear is slightly worn. Besides the engine, I'm just missing the rear fender, which is only available used for €1200, so I'll switch to the larger XR's for that
Here is a list for you... Bearing installer way off center when using, Visegrips on a shaft that takes a seal, channel locks on the brake piston, you can't really over tighten conventional forks like you can inverted. There's more but that's enough for you to ponder in one session. :>)
Blows my mind the number of people who tackle bearing work with zero intent to use, or seek out a press….of any sort. Very consistent across motor sports.
nice progress, i had a XR600, everyone else that i knew at the time had 250 2 smokers, the 600 was heavy and really plowed the turns, but it was a great trail bike for sure. made the transition to a 450 liquid feel like cheating lol.
For your pro tip on knowing where to drill the bolts. I put the bolts in the holes, put roofing chalk on the bolt heads, line up the fender and just small tap leaves the mark. Then drill baby drill. I would call this a shade tree mechanic tip.
I modified a grease nipple to thread into the bleeder on the brake caliper to push the pistons out. Costs a tiny bit of grease but they come out slow and undamaged. And, unless you're very dimm, you can't have your fingers in the way.
My dream job is the (In german) KFZ Mechatroniker or in englisch Automotive mechatronics technician idk if its called like that but Translator says it. Im learning so much from you guys. And its really satisfying to see how the Motors look like on the inside
with those multi piston brakes, if one pops out service that one and clamp the refitted piston tight and another one will shoot out they said. still had one piston in my life that held about 11bar without moving. had to drill it and use a bearing puller xD
My first dirt bike was a brand new xr 70 that my grandma and grandpa got me and my 2 cousins we each got dirtbikes on Christmas. I was too small for the 70 at the time so my sisters dad got me a yammy pw50 till I was tall enough for the 70. Been riding since I was a little squirt.
I have an idea for you, If you can make another channel to post unedited videos of the build or longer form videos. I really love your work because I learn a lot of things as someone who likes to fix their own bike
She is coming along great and will be a heck of a ripper! love seeing the old Hondas get some love. I sent you an email on a rebuild Idea hope you see it
"I don't even know why you bother asking me Craig" haha CLASSIC. I laughed hard at that. Pays to do it once and do it RIGHT ;) Great vid guys! I had an XR250R as my first bike, loved the hell out of it. Still have a Yammie WR250R, would love to pickup an XR400R or something one day and restore it so this is really helpful! Cheers
Life happens. Good job anyway man. I wish for you that you can make some time free to get organized again. I had the same issue with my woodworking workshop. Total chaos. Too much wood in my case. After clearing out a lot, it works better! 💪
Craig I noticed your central pneumatic ultrasonic cleaner. I just bought one of those and found out the hard way that the ground wire isn't connected to anything inside that machine. You might want to open it up and make sure that yours is grounded before you touch the bench vise, and the lip of that at the same time and find out that China doesn't have very many safety standards.
Another trick for stuck caliper pistons is to get a grease nipple and fit it the the bleeder side of the cilper while blocking the other end and pump grease into it
Love your videos, it's good to know a man of your skill can still cock it up, makes me feel better when I do 😂 looking forward to the next one and Dan I love your commentary 😊
what I usually do when I split a motor into pieces is I'll take the parts piece by piece that belong together and put them in one baggie at a time like you had there but I'll also throw in a printed out exploded view of the parts diagram and put it in each baggie that way when I go back through it I know where and what I should have in the bag.
It would be nice to see the shop transform into a professional looking youtube set/workshop like putting up walls that are painted, a second floor in the corner to have all spare parts and storage, one half of the shop the two ramps maybe 3, and the other half all the tools in a organised manner etc You can do it, I watched grind hard plumbing go from a shed to a shop
Ordering or receiving the wrong parts happens all of the time. Mishaps happen all of the time. I spend more time looking for tools I just set down somewhere than I do actually turning those same tools. I tend to walk around with tools in my hands then setting them down somewhere other than where they belong. Happens all day every day. It’s always been like that, but it is getting worse as I get older. 😂😂
Anybody else here like me? I dont own a motorcycle, I'm not a mechanic, matter of fact I've barely even ridden a motorcycle and yet I'm still here because i love the content Craig and Dan put out!!

Craig and Sean got me into riding and I ended up buying one last year. I honestly watch these in case I ever have a problem and I want/need it fixed.
Absolutely

Well done man!
I just love that all your videos are 30minutes give or take. It really makes me happy
I agree, I recently stopped watching an auto show, he puts out good content but is so busy, he apparently doesn't have time to edit. I stopped when he put out a three-hour video. He's not making Gone with the wind, it's you-tube.
But if videos were longer, one project might get completed finally.
@@bookofrevelation4924 where’s the fun in that?
Imagine how happy you'd be if they were 60 minutes. At least twice as happy I would say...
with 7 minutes of actual work being done
Another video doesn't bother me at all. Love seeing these old bikes come together. Mixing old and new parts is always tough! Cheers!
Loved the shot taken from inside the freezer of Craig reaching in for a part! Very clever and creative! 👍
Im in a depression and the only moment when i feel a little bit happyness is when i see a new video. Just 30minutes of no bullshit in my head and have full attention for the vid🎉

Hold on...I thought the rule was: Tear it apart, then let it cure for a year or two, then put it back together 😅
so excited to see how this project is going been waiting for this vid for ages!

Folks, we are in the presence of greatness here; we are looking at the Ordering-The-Wrong-Parts Champion of 2024.
We don't mind another video on the xr. It's a cool resto build
Dan is a funny dude Craig is too though...you two crack me up with some of the things you say...keep it up guys 👍👍

0:31 "kinda like a puzzle" (that will self destruct if you don't do certain things just right)
Underrated comment
Got an 81 Kawi kz750 on the road today. You and Ari made me ride motorbikes lol.
Can't beat a handful of bonus bolts after a reassemble!
Love your videos Craig. Learning a lot.
Can’t wait to see this bike when it’s finished,fantastic video guys.👍😃
I'd really love to see you measure the bore. I am in the process of rebuilding my '78 Ironhead and would love to see your method!
Watching Craig fixing stuff is like watching a friend 😅 except that we don't know him personally. Take care 🙂
Another trick for stuck caliper pistons is to get a grease nipple and fit it the the bleeder side of the cilper while blocking the other end and pump grease into it
This could be 12 parts and I’d still watch, more videos are more better.
So glad I came across this channel def one of my favorites. Keep up the great work
heres a transmission tree i built
Dan - "That doesn't look like a tree." 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Freakin Gold
Love your videos, it's good to know a man of your skill can still cock it up, makes me feel better when I do 😂 looking forward to the next one and Dan I love your commentary 😊
The first youtube videos I made where working on my 1984 XR250r and replacing the broken kickstarter shaft. It looked just like yours.
what I usually do when I split a motor into pieces is I'll take the parts piece by piece that belong together and put them in one baggie at a time like you had there but I'll also throw in a printed out exploded view of the parts diagram and put it in each baggie that way when I go back through it I know where and what I should have in the bag.
I usually put the cases in a cooler full of hot water too. Bearings sometimes just push in with finger pressure.
Use an outdoor BBQ (gas of course) to warm it
It would be nice to see the shop transform into a professional looking youtube set/workshop like putting up walls that are painted, a second floor in the corner to have all spare parts and storage, one half of the shop the two ramps maybe 3, and the other half all the tools in a organised manner etc
You can do it, I watched grind hard plumbing go from a shed to a shop
I watch to see the issues and how to correct them. So yes to the 4th video. RockOn
Ordering or receiving the wrong parts happens all of the time. Mishaps happen all of the time. I spend more time looking for tools I just set down somewhere than I do actually turning those same tools.

Can't wait for the next one Craig. The bike is looking great 🤠🤠🤠
If you do spend time organizing the shop, it could be a satisfying video
A good impact driver is a must to use on these bikes.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that uses the shop freezer for bearings and other small parts. lol Parts in the freezer, drinks in the fridge.
It can happen to the best of us Gregg, it will be a sweet drive in the end 🙂
I watch the bearded mechanic because I like to party!
Howdy Craig, I love your channel. It looks like you need an impact driver for screws they work great
