I have used that tool. On the '12 CRF 450. It did not work put. That inner race broke. I ended up having to use a grinder and very slowly grind at it. Eventually, before I got all the way rough it cracked and I was able to get it off without any damage. Glad it worked for you.
I have only changed one steering stem bearing it was a bear. “I need a bigger hammer” when I say that it’s usually bad for me and the part LOL!!😂 Great job as always
Could you do a video talking about brake maintenance such as flushing and changing calipers for the yz250? Super simple subject I know but I love your videos and the way you explain stuff. Thanks!
Yes sir! I actually have it planned to dig into brakes here shortly. But I also have a RM450 that needs a new front cylinder and will be covering that in probably my next video next week. Thanks for the suggestion.
it's a lot easier (and faster) to press out the steering stem, and the bearing falls off as the stem goes through the triple. warm up that new bearing until your spit boils on it and it'll drop onto the stem again. no hammering, no extra tools. appreciate your showing us your methods and your tool review
Right on, your welcome. I have heard that pressing out the stem works well from others as well. I might try that next time see how that comes out. Thanks for watching!
I enjoy these videos. If you get the chance to work on an rm125 power valve assembly, any year as I own 3 different models, please make a video on it. I have a general idea on how to set power valve tension, but I'd love to see how you do it.
Sure will. I have one here now but waiting to see what the owner wants to do, repair or not. But in general back in the day we use to set that spring by turning it till it just barley closes the power valve and then add another 7/8 of a turn. Then tune from that point. A little this way or that way depending on how you like the power to roll in.
Hey man you think you could do a video on your nitrogen setup?. Dumbed down as much as possible. I got a tank for the same price as a refill here. So I bought a regulator and it came with some hoses and a chuck but it ain't working good for me lol. Idk what the hell I'm doing wrong.
@@UpAllNight91 thanks. Doing my YZ125 right now, ended up being a bear so I cut it off with an angle grinder. Your advice was paramount, thanks for the video!
Does it matter which direction the fork is facing like the bleeder screw up top used to be straight forward now it is more towards the right about half a inch of a little more. Is that ok?
Yes. It wont hurt anything. The top tube can be spin to any direction is be ok. I usually turn them so the bleeder is in the area I can access it easiest for bleeding.
I have a 08 crf150r with a fmf slip on. It bogs until about 1/2 throttle after which it’s fine and runs good when hot but still bogs a little. The bike also back fires when I let off the throttle at higher rpm. What do you think could solve my issue?
Sounds like its starving for fuel. Check pilot jet first. Honestly them bikes don't run great brand new. Honda should stop... Had a brand new 2023 crf150r come to my shop that I had to rejet just for it to start up when cold. Move away from that bike soon as possible because it is a heart breaker as it is a ticking time bomb.
@loaf_of_melon6484 Unless you're consistently keeping the motor freshly rebuilt they tend to grenade when the crank and rod gives away. Making for the repair cost more than the bike is worth. Seen it over and over again. There is a pattern for sure. Easy motors to break down tho.
@@keithalexander36 keeping it freshly rebuilt? Isn’t that a 2 stroke thing? and wouldn’t the engine explosion thing apply to all 4 strokes, they tend to go out in style. I keep up on my maintenance but I haven’t even thought of a rebuild.
@loaf_of_melon6484 Yes, all (race) 4 strokes need a rebuild every 60 to 100hrs. However, the crf150r is underbuilt and over ran for its design. The crf150r is part of my income lol.
This man is a legend. Grate videos a must if you own a yz 125/250.

Crap man. thats a bummer. its surely a expensive tool for that crap to happen. Its like 175 bucks!

Thanks! Yeah them bearings can be a bear. When people call me and ask how hard it is to do it themselfs I'm like.... well... lol

You can put the chisel next to the seal and hammer straight down. It will separate it pretty easy. Helps to have a few different size chisels also.
Right on, that sounds like a good idea to try!

@@UpAllNight91 Maybe he'll give you the chance to go through it for a video. Love the channel....thanks for the quick reply.🤘
@@brainstain22 Yes. Still waiting to hear back from him but if given the chance I think I will.
Have you ever tried a gear puller? Really clean easy way of removing the bottom bearing
No I never tried one. Do you have a link to the type you are talking about so I can see exactly what you are referring too?
@@UpAllNight91 I’ve tried sending link won’t let me send

Ur good mechanic i need to change mine i dont know if i can do this myself i may pay the shop do it
Yeah its not easy. It can be done but its a slightly tougher one.
Great explanation, thanks
Your welcome, and thanks for watching!
Another great video!!!
Thanks Brother!

Oh crap, Yes I can! I will try to get that up next week some time. Cover what I have and all that stuff.
@UpAllNight91 sweet man, thanks!!
would you be worried about taking it out of true if you're really beating on it with a hammer?
I havent ever had a issue with them getting knocked off true. They are a pretty tight fit.

@@UpAllNight91 and for installing crank seals u just put it flush with case right
@@ShamusMacdonald-k5o On most bikes, yes just flush
