Thats great Mia, I am glad that these videos have help folks with their motorcycle maintenance. I am guessing that your DS250 was similar to the TS250 that I worked on in the video. Thanks for hanging out with me in the shop.
Three videos in one day, you're spoiling us Dale. No complaints here. Gearboxes can be a pain but you did it better than me, no swearing at all! I have lost count how many times I've kicked the tripod over and had to start again. Video looks good and audio is very clear. I think I'm going to have to invest in some better video equipment. Suggestions always welcome! Best wishes, Dean in Oxfordshire, UK.
Hi Dean, some of them were already in the can. I just uploaded together. Well one thing getting older does...you learn patience. Thats not to say, I dont want to jump up and down and say the F bomb. The good thing about filming is you can shut it off and regain your composer, not true in real life. Thanks for the feedback on the audio, I just am not a techy kind a guy. I think the manufactures think everyone is and dont include instructions...rather just symbols that they think everyone knows....Dean I use a GoPro 6 which is pretty old now, it works for me and I know how to operate it. I have heard some bad things about the newer GoPro's. The new mic I just got is a Rode wireless II, its hard to learn but have just about mastered it now. Thanks buddy
@@montana2strokeracer thanks Dale. I'm not very tech savvy either, the editing software baffles me to no end. If you don't need to top the oil up or belt it with a hammer, I'm a bit lost.
The audio has been great on the last three. I have a CL 100 that the foot rest bolt to the bottom of the case. The person that had it before broke them off and fabricated a bracket. Ordered new used case so I have to transfer all the guts. And they welded the kick. This video is along my line. Thanks brother.
Wow, some people should'nt be trusted with a welder. Cant you remove the broken bolts with an extractor or the weld a nut on method. Thanks glad to hear the audio is now better. Thanks for watchin.
@@montana2strokeracer no it broke the bolt holes off. I would have to aluminum weld build it back up then drill and tap. Never learned to aluminum weld.
@@cainbeeping8480 Oh I see, yeah thats about your best option then. Thats a lot of work, but you got to save them if you can. Good luck with your project.
Good video Dale. Looks like fitting the gears and selectors can be a can of worms but you showed how to get it right with good detail. I think I’ll need to be patient as you were and careful to make sure it’s all correct on my bike at the time. My TS also had a disintegrated air filter. I’m interested to see as well how you evaluate the possible wear/damage on your TS and whether it’s wise to get a barrel hone and new piston as well. Compression feels OK on mine though I’ve no idea if repairs should be done as well. Did the crank seals and bearings fit well? Did you press or use temperature to fit the bearings? Thanks again for the video. Regards. Craig
Thanks Craig, yes they can be a pain in the butt. I did measure the cylinder and it will be honed and a new piston fitted. The cylinder had just been bored and a new piston installed and they didnt put a new air cleaner in...amazing. I used a press to install all the bearings. The seals just tap in with some black silicone around them. I did show pressing the bearings in on the first TC125 engine rebuild. Its straight forward job, just be sure you back up the bearing boss, and make sure the bearings are straight and square. Thanks for following along.
Hi Cliff, appreciate you following along, I use the play doh to check piston to valve clearance on 4 stroke engines. Just put a dab on top of the piston, install the head, turn over the engine and the valves will imprint their shape and contact in the play doh, this is to make sure the valves dont contact the piston, when you install a aftermarket camshaft. Use it on cars too. Hope all is good with you folks down in the lone star state.
Regarding 12:21 when I took my 1972 250 apart it had the bearings flat side facing out, and reinstalled it that way. I’m thinking about taking it apart again if it will cause an issue
Hey Kale, not sure if I would tear into it again for that. Pretty sure it will still get the oil it needs. That same bearing on the 125/175 Yamaha's has the bearing shield facing out.
@@montana2strokeracer thank you, I appreciate it. I followed your videos to redo the crankshaft seals, they helped out a lot. I think I’ll go for a ride, thanks again.

Informative and excellent, your videos are always excellent. Thanks so much for posting for us.
Thanks Jeff, appreciate you following the channel.
Enjoyed the video Dale keep'em coming
Thanks Larry, appreciate you following the channel
The audio and video look great to me bud. Great job!
Thanks brother, just a learning curve with this techy stuff, I understand the motorcycles better than the camera stuff.
