@@dreyn7780 mate you should learn a lot from him. he has gone through so much and keeps persisting. try focusing on ur own mistakes and not a helpful guy's like his
Here is a tip for you and the viewers. When you have a Allen head type fastener like on your real master cylinder that is wanting to round out. Try putting some valve lapping compound in the socket head. It’s a gritty compound and will greatly reduce the chance of rounding out the fasteners. Works well on Phillips head screws and even on sockets and wrenches. The abrasive in the compound greatly reduces the chance of the tool from rounding out or stripping out of the fastener. If you put enough on it you will actually have to tap a Allen key into a set screw or socket head screw. Give it a try..... Glad all is well. God be the Glory.
Watching you I have learned so much for my 2 stroke engine. Thank you and please keep bringing new videos. I’m glad you pulled through and is doing better. Bless you and your family
I would love to do this too! I tried getting into fixing/selling quads, dirt bikes ext. but kids put a hold on that for a bit. Hope to come back strong probably in a couple years if bikes aren't outlawed
I can't wait to see more absolutely over obsessively compulsive restorations For real though, its awesome, I took a bit of your effort and put it into my old bikes, ended up buying 2 road bikes 70's and 80's to do up because of you :) First one was torn apart entirely and put back together, good old honda parallel v-twin pushrod, my daily rider Second one is the same bike but a few years older, they fixed literally all of the niggling issues on it, currently torn apart and rusting a little outside :')
Nice to see you back Cameron. I have learnd so much from you last year when I had to rebuild my son`s 2001 CR80 from the ground up. Greatings from Norway
@Cameron Niemela, you still have a "3rd" (the original and first) Suzuki RM250 broken down in your shed correct? I wanted to trade you my 1987 Honda CR250 project for it, but now I am too far along on my 1987 Honda CR250 project, but you can feel free to contact me and get my shipping address to ship me that original RM250 project that is in your shed...Good to see you back and I am looking forward to this project being completed. It is really kind of you to be giving this project away to your community. Salute and blessings upon blessings.
Hey little tip but oven cleaner from Walmart will remove that black spray paint no problem it’s in a yellow can it’s called easy off let it sit for a few minutes washes off.
When you didn't make any videos the last few months I'm happy to hear that you were not sick again I was praying for you bro my sister just went through all her breast cancer treatments she's doing good now just finished radiation she ended up with a double mastectomy so I understand how rough things were when you were going through it keep up the great videos with the content you are a awesome meticulous bike mechanic
Man I'd love to win that RM not to give you a sob story or anything but just had my 98 KX250 engine rebuilt at a shop cost me $1,000 told me he couldn't find a piston cuz it was oversized so he said he would massage my old one and put new rings and all new gaskets and bearings after two rides I blew the head gasket took the head off and it was my old gasket reused with silver spray paint got to looking around nothing in it was new I had given him a part engine also just if anything was broken in my motor he could use the parts out of the other one I think he just took the best parts from both Motors and made it run not a single new part in my bike man even reuse the old gaskets I wish I had the money to send it to you to rebuild it or a reputable shop LOL lesson learned though from your videos and tips and my service manual going to rebuild it over the winter myself really man thanks for all the great content I've learned a lot watching your stuff God bless HE Is good all the time
I have been working in the woods all day and saw the notification when I got home and had cell service. So happy to see the video. I was just looking through your old videos the other day. Your shop is starting to look a little like mine, of course I have the old four strokes...... classy.
Happy you are well. I swear nothing can stop you Cam. I hope there are great things to come and I hope you and the family are happy and healthy. Glad to see you with bikes still. I miss mine 😞
Great to see you Cameron 🙏 and to hear your calming voice again. Hoping all is well with you and your family. We have certainly missed you over here in the county of Kent England 🇬🇧 The dent repair on your truck was amazing 👀 very skilful workmanship 👌. Finally the beard 🧔perfect for the snowy weather conditions that l could see in your video🥶 take every care until next time my friend 🤝 kindest regards André GS 🙋🏻♂️
You and your story both are awesome man. Keep up the awesome content. Me, my two boys, and even my wife sometimes watch your builds and they're all great. Working on a 2003 rm 125 myself. I never comment but you're one person on TH-cam I know deserves it. Much love and God bless.
Dude welcome back, I’m pumped to see the build finish up. I appreciated the insight to the business side of things and how you run it, very motivating. I just received my shipment of PrymeMX wheels and the quality is amazing. Thanks so much Cam for the extras, and I’m looking forward to the content to come!
You just gained a subscriber. Im 15 nearly 16 and in the process of trying to buy a road bike and a dirt bike. Your videos will 100% educate me when i get the bikes. Keep up the videos
Hey Cameron, I’m really happy you’re back I’m 20 years old (American living in Switzerland) and I’m currently restoring my first bike, a KTM GS 125 1985 found in a barn sitting for +30 years and your videos helped me a lot thank you so much for what you do!
HES BACK!!!! Hey, I'm so happy you're doing okay! I've been watching your stuff to help me learn about dirt bikes more as not only am I going to be buying one soon, (I'm looking at a 1990 Kawasaki KLR 250cc) I also do work as a mechanic, so I've been using your videos as guides to see how they work more.and no I never figured out why they named it that.
Helpful tip for stripped out bolt heads. Cut a small piece of thin rubber (bicycle inner tube works great) and set on top of stripped out head then push down on your hex bit or Phillips bit and pull the trigger. Have not tried it on really big fasteners but it has yet to fail me on anything smaller such as the master cylinder ones you spoke about. Try it....works great.
Nothing like coming in from the garage working on your bike for 3 hours (adding fan and radiator overflow reservoir to take my track bike on trails tomorrow) and watching a little dirt bike TH-cam before I hit the hay. Thanks for the tip on the master cylinder. Now I know why the one on my 05 crf450r stripped out so easy. Btw, my easy fix was to take a small Dremel bit and just make it a flat head. I was going to replace it and then just realized that it works just fine.
Great to see you back boss and in good health most importantly. I just picked up a 01 rm 250 a couple months back. It's in great condition, still has the original front tire. Ill be following this build religiously.
Too bad two people had to give a thumbs down about you finally getting back to some sort of normalcy after kicking cancer's butt. I've recently started binge watching a lot of your videos and it's good to see that you're back to being yourself. Cancer sucks man, glad you actually found a way to see the bright side of it and push through. It would be really hard to find the good in that if it was me. Welcome back man!
Cameron, So Glad you are doing well and back on TH-cam...I was a little worried about what might be up with you. I even posted in my own Facebook Group if anyone knew what was up..... Sorry about the Truck, but it seems like repair went well. I totally understand the break and hope that you find a balance you can live with...look forward to some new content.
awesome to see you recover from cancer my dad has the same one you had and I can't spell it but seeing you get better gives me faith that he will be fine and keep up the good work man.
Hey Cameron, love the stuff you doing. Technical content, entertaiment and video production is on point. Actually learning from your flawless instructions it encuraged me to rebuild my 08 RM125 engine myself. On the swingam blot, I found it also sized up quite firm. What I ended up was, run through a long M8 threaded rod the inner bore of the swing blot and big washers on the frame clutch side to pull it out with a nut. I recommed stainless steel for the M8 threaded rod, threads on regular steel are too weak and can get eaten up. Glad to see that you allowed yourself to have a break. Greetings from Germany! 🙌🤙
I’m glad you back and feeling good 👍🏻 can’t wait for the build of the RM 250 i literally bought one after watching your video 😀 Nice work I’ll be following you from Australia
Happy to see you back! Working on 2000 RM250 myself. Bad CDI among a plethora of other problems that came with it. Also, it had a 2001 FMF Fatty and Turbine Core II on it.... yep. For real. Didnt fit quite right. Lol. Anywho, keep it real, man! Peace!
Cameron, when I remove the front brake diaphragm cover I took the closest screw driver and tapped it with a hammer. I never had an issue with stripping the screw.
Glad your back! I was getting pretty sad not having videos to watch while i have been doing chemo during my second re-occurrence. Just finished chemo and your back! Life is good.😊
Just tore down my Service 500 for ground up build. Billet motor, PC works suspension, Talon/excel wheels, Dirt tricks sprockets, Talon titanium pegs. Wish I had your help Cameron to make it flawless. Hope you’re feeling better. 👊
Hey man, congeatulation. Welcome back, really nice see NEW video from you. The best wishes for NEW proyects. Looks with more energy than ever. Cameron reloaded
He’s back! Yeahhhhh buddy! So glad you’re feeling better and more focused! I love getting to watch your videos. I tackled the FCR carb on my CRF250R because I got the confidence from watching your videos! Keep on bein awesome buddy 🤘🏼
I’m glad your back and healthy, no lie i missed the content from you... i just forgot that you were working on an rm250 and it made me cast my mind back to the summer when my 95 rm250 was stolen.
