@@ayothepizzahere1 well yes. But when I see it I’m like… why? I’m a strictly og plastic for that bike being ridden and at most a newer four stroke front plate and fender. I’m kinda stuck In 08-13 aesthetic ara.
Just want to say thank you Cameron you were THE inspiration for my 2001 cr250 complete rebuild. Your videos were on repeat daily til I got it put together. Keep up the content bud. Love from puyallup.
The leaf blower is key. I generally clean the chain before washing my bike, but rust will develop quickly on a non-lubed chain. The trusty leaf blower solves this problem. I appreciate your content. A few of your earlier videos on 2-stroke carburetors helped me quite a bit with my first 2-stroke.
Glad to see you're doing good. I'm not on TH-cam often. But I was while I dealt with a rare form of testicular cancer..you had your battle shortly after I was done with chemo. I sold my bike to help cover ends as I was a new father right before diagnosis, so I lived vicariously through this series 😂 I loved the attention to detail with your videos, especially this build. Hope all's well brother, much love from Florida 🤘🧡👍
Good to see u working on the 2 smokes again gotta say I've missed the uploads the last few years but health is more important anyways... love the video and can't wait to see more
I just bought a 03 cr125 super cheap with the water pump dripping like crazy and the head gasket not sealing well. When I went to the machine shop I asked the guys helping me to measure the cylinder with he’s gage tool and the bike is 2mm over size’s. Who ever did this build spent a lot of money to it, they did a whole Wiseco build up to it including rod crank shaft and piston vforce3 carbon reed’s fresh pro circuit full exhaust system and lectron Carb. I pretty much got a hell of a deal on it for $1,800 bucks 😂
Thought as a young kid Cameron was so sick to me. Now ook at you. I’m so happy to see you like this. My fav TH-cam guy. We grew up together whether Yk it or not!!!
@@CameronNiemela I used to look up stuff on TH-cam and some how your videos would pop up. Chances are I didn’t have interest in xr 70s or crf 250s but the videos were intriguing. Since day one for all ages
I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video. It's definitely a great go-through of what to do. Have you ever changed the front fork oil? I'm considering doing it soon because the seal isn't looking too great on mine.
Aluminum easier on basket, gears, spokes, hub.looking forward to track stuff. Nice to see you have a bike to just have fun on. Wonder ifl 927, Klotz, Blendzall is less toxic to be around even though gas itself spits out benzene, toluene, xylene, used to raise octane.They all seem worse than lead being added, harder to pin the donkey tail. True fuel use to claim benzene free, but that was probably over 8 years ago I seen that label on the can, doesn't say it now.
I think those are heat insulators on the pads. They are probably to help keep the fluid cool. If you never experience brake fad you should be fine with out them.
I recommend you put a spacer. Behind your brake pads so your plunger isn't sticking so far out if you understand what I'm saying. I have it on all my bikes You can actually Intake the rest of the pad off
Cameron you said you neglected that bike... man my crf250r takes more of a beating than that thing its dirty as heck since my pressure washer is down and I hate seeing it like that but your so called 'Neglected' bike is WAY cleaner than mine could ever be! 06 crf250r btw Edit:While watching the vid I run steel just since they last longer,making me wanna tear my bike back apart and make it clean like I built the first time maybe cleaner! and man I love your 125 and the 250 even more! cant wait for the rm to be finsihed. Been watching since your old crf250r like 5 or so years ago maybe even longer and thats what inspired me to get my 06 crf250r!
You think this is neglected i had an 05 with socks in the back tyre instead of intertube an a buckled front wheel road it all the time used it as my transport never changed the oil an thing just kept giving
It is so awesome to see you putting out another video and you daughter is just too darn cute!!! Until the next video, keep the shiny side up and the rubber side down!!!
The x ring chains last much longer than standard, and barely eat up any power. The ProX X ring chain is the same weight as most standard chains, and the friction difference is minimal. If you use a good x ring chain there is not much power loss
Hey have you ever tried aluminum brightener sprays for the raw aluminum pieces? It’s a acidic product that leaves aluminum looking polished and works wonders but you have to be careful using it around painted and rubber as well as clear plastics and glass and need to wear proper ppe when using it but i would try it if I were you cause I’m pretty sure you would like it better then using the scuff pads although those scuff pads are great. They make scuff pads that connect to a 3 inch round backing plate that connects to any standard drill and makes for easier work using the scuff pads.
you have no idea how fast i clicked on the notification that you posted a video! love all the content cam, especially 125 content since i got a 04 and i need to get in the garage and do a spring tuneup and fix a few things as well✌️
That’s where it seals to the airbox. Would you skip putting a gasket on your clutch cover? I did a test a few years back with a half greased lip and there was a good amount of dirt that made it past the non greased section
Man I'm so bumbed out, my bike went to a shop, an the guy like did nothing an charged me so much, bike doesn't idle, the throttle doesn't even go back it stays, so he cut the oem Japan grip and took it out after bump starting it, charged me for so many bolts that were on it already like... I'm at a loss for words he takes it out cause he said "it won't idle till its warm" but was at half way... He takes it out and there's coolant pissing all over the bike. Bike sounds worse then when I dropped it off, he said "I adjusted the valves" but doesn't show in the paper work. What do I do, I already paid the bill, the bikes just sitting at the shop like with new tires on it and pretty much nothing else was done.... Took it in for safety and the guy said it would be 2grand, now its 3800 for a fkn 2005 ninja 250....... Like do I moltov him?
Ik this is probably dumb question I’m sure so many people ask you this but are you devins brother? I used to watch his video’s everyday when I had my own evo and loved them and I sold it and got into dirt bikes like crazy and now I race and I was watching Matt Berger and he mentioned you so I checked you out and realized you had the same last name and looked a lot alike so I was wondering haha sorry hope you don’t mind this thank you for your amazing videos and great inspiration on your battle man so happy and proud you battled it and beat it and are back making awesome videos
What are the chances that we could get some of the textured grip tape for the swingarms???? My 2001 CR250 has scratches and blemishes that I’m having trouble getting out and I think it would look sick to have all matching grip tape! Just placed my order for the clutch and ignition cover tape!!

Daughter is adorable man congratulations enjoy every moment!
I don’t ride or have ever owned any of these machines but I find it relaxing watching you work.
Try it, you won’t regret it. 💯
It’s addicting even just rebuilding or getting on old engine running again
So much respect for you leaving the original style of plastics on it
love the originals but newer plastics on these bikes make them so insanely clean

I have a 01 cr125 and I’ve blown it up 5 times in the past four years and I barely even ride it
@@Mikehoncho191you suck at building. Keep trying and don’t give up. Happens to the best of us wrenchers
Steering head bearing grease, fresh fork oil and set the sag top, off radiator fluid... maybe a peek at the water pump...you're dialed for the summer.
Haha always more to do
Cause he doesn’t know this aye😂
@@jontybennie1736 😆😆
No...cause he didn't do it fan boy.
And linkage regrease😆

Fork oil bud! Sooooo great to have you back man. Such great videos. Love it.
Спасибо тебе , что вдохновляешь, здоровья тебе и твоим близким, смотрю из Томска , Россия.
That looks a lot bigger than a 125. I really envy and admire people that can do this type of stuff.... wish I could
that was so relaxing to watch keep up the great work

Imádom ezeket a videókat mindig lehet valamit újítani.👍💪🏆
Absolute legend. You are a champ Cam !

Missed the uploads man happy your back hope you and the family are well 🤟🏼
You had a baby!!!!? I’m so happy for you Cameron. Been watching since 2011! Was born in 01. I have seen quality in your work/ videos/ content forever.

Soon you might be making bikes for him to ride. So cool to see how far you’ve came over the years man. God work
I love it ! That 125 is slick buddy.
Had a Honda Elsinore CR250 back in the 70's.
Vicious little beast with a savage kickback.
Those are the real 2 strokes
I need to ride myself , the cr still looks great
good to see you having fun man!
Regards from Bosnia
Just watched the whole video, thing rips after sitting for so long, rock on 👍🏻
Hey Cameron how are you? Nice to see to are doing great! 😊 Keep on keepin on friend.
I just realised how similar the pryme logo is with the ODI logo
Twin air grand prix filter protection is the only one what will work as a extra layer. Filter will be clean..
Cameron's neglected CR125 is still nicer than 98.5% of all used CR125's for sale, lol
that thing is so clean it’s a crime to not have some black wheels on her
Your videos are the best dude! Bike is looking good as well 👍🏼
Excellent detail work and upgrade tune up.
dude! that baby looks so happy!
Really Nice touch on those frame and cover tapes guard !!! 👍👍👍
Good video buddy! Have a great spring!
Good looking happy boy you got Cameron. No doubt he will be a mini Cam!
For the tool you used to brighten up your aluminum do I just buy the hand pad cleaning kit?
Yes, that is the one linked in the video description.
Wish I had a dirt bike parts store upstairs 😂
Super fast shipping.
And you're the ship
I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video. It's definitely a great go-through of what to do. Have you ever changed the front fork oil? I'm considering doing it soon because the seal isn't looking too great on mine.
in every riding group theres cameron style of bike care then theres that dude that shows up with the dirt from last ride lol.
Blessed my dude!! Daughters rule!

Now back to my RM250 bike right Cameron ? 🤔😂🤣
I think those are heat insulators on the pads. They are probably to help keep the fluid cool. If you never experience brake fad you should be fine with out them.
The bike is lookin fresh agin love the tune up👌
I would be glad to take care of that cr125 for you at my house because it’s been 15 scent I sold mine 😢
Love the guards would be even better in clear!!
Adorable kid…best part of the video.

Bike looks good man… nice job!
Life is good!
Great looking and sounding bike! Thanks for all the tips ... truly appreciated!
Glad your on the grind! Love the videos❤
those rotors look worn imo keep up the nice vids! i would have never thought have measuring the distance from ur rear axle to ur swingarm
You think this is neglected i had an 05 with socks in the back tyre instead of intertube an a buckled front wheel road it all the time used it as my transport never changed the oil an thing just kept giving
I had the same sproket on my 2013 crf250r and that is crazy how a cr barely chewed it up, my 250 had snapped the teeth off😅
It is so awesome to see you putting out another video and you daughter is just too darn cute!!! Until the next video, keep the shiny side up and the rubber side down!!!
Minty... It's dialled in
Now your linkage bearings is full of water..and after some months go rusty..don't use power washer to linkage.

@@CameronNiemela , will do..and stay safe😁👍
It is better to use a micrometer to gauge braking disc thickness.
That bike is a beauty! Thanks for the video.
what year is the cr125?
So why did you opt for the lighter aluminum sprocket to save horsepower, but go with an x ring chain??? just curious
The x ring chains last much longer than standard, and barely eat up any power. The ProX X ring chain is the same weight as most standard chains, and the friction difference is minimal. If you use a good x ring chain there is not much power loss

What is the pros and cons of steel and aluminum sprockets
Give her the berries! Awesome video Cam!
Im trying out the hybrid sprockets 2 piece aluminum body and steel teeth and green anodized to match my 98 kx250 😮
As always, your stuff looks brand new :) Just out of curiosity, why do run your tensioner/axle blocks backwards?
Thanks Lucas! I put them backwards so I could shorten the wheelbase and use the shortest chain possible
@@CameronNiemela I never would of thought of doing that, that's smart! Thanks for answering!

instantly noticed the time on the clock respect lol also where can i find some grip graphics for my stator/clutch cover 06 sx 125 :)
kickstart bolt is loose !!!
man i wish i had a dirtbike
Yeah buddy! M2TGA!
Would scotch bright work the same for the frame?
Yes
I've never understood grease on the filter. Why would dirt get past a highly compressed area of the foam instead of the uncompressed majority?
That’s where it seals to the airbox. Would you skip putting a gasket on your clutch cover? I did a test a few years back with a half greased lip and there was a good amount of dirt that made it past the non greased section
