The way you push through being diagnosed with leukemia and all your treatment you still have a huge smile and still do the things you love to do, I’m so inspired I’ve been watching your videos for a few months just before you released that you were diagnosed and I’ll say i learned a lot more then I thought I knew. Stay dangerous 💯💪🏼
i love your attitude! keep the faith, I am praying for a complete recovery. i broke my arm last weekend at Odessa desert race, I was100 yards from the finish, I wanted push my bike over the finish line but they wouldn't let me so here i am watching videos biding my time until i can ride again, hang in there, its what we do
@@jjoeabhn2526 We will see.😏 If the Chinese can make something out of cf (sometimes bad quality) why not him? If he can nickel plate bolts, powdercoat parts and even cerakote plastic, why not make something out of cf? He does everything with details and does his research unlike many poeple on youtube...
Your vids are the best! This CR is going to be a true masterpiece, it's really starting to look beautiful. I love how you don't edit it out if you make a mistake. Like when you fogot to put the throttle boot over the handlebar first. Leaving things like that in is one of the most helpful things you do in your videos. I can't wait for the carbon fiber video!! Carbon fiber airbox and tank! Dude, when you are done with this thing, factory riders are going to be jealous of your ride!
Make CR250 great again. I replace the entire clutch system on my 2002 CR250 and the only way I made the clutch Pole easy enough to pull with one finger is I replace the clutch cable with a hydraulic mugura clutch now its finally an eazy pull
I am Glad that the moto industry is finally adopting lock on grips. When I replaced the grips on my crf250, the guy before me put some gnarly glue on the grips, which was a pain to get off. I just used isopropyl alcohol and let it dry for a while.The mtb side of things has been using lock on grips for a long while, and I am happy for that.
I've been drooling over this build on Instagram. I had no idea you were on PooTube. I subscribed. Sorry to learn about your cancer, but keep your head up and never stop fighting. I've fought my own battles with a different health issue.
You motivate me beyond all youtubers right now my man! All these throwbacks but you still push and look at those results! You're the real mvp! All the best to you and I hope to continue to watch you build bikes for at least another 100 years!
Wish my bike was looking as good. It’s up on a shelf right now but I’ll start messing with is this summer. Good to hear your health progress. Keep up with good work.
Wish i could get my bike to you mate for a makeover , every project you have done is absolutely amazing , and so glad your keeping your head up after your health problems. Love from Ireland
Best of luck with the treatments dude, my daughter had severe leukemia at age 2 and she's all better now, had the same port you're getting!! Love your videos, they make me wanna start a dirtbike service shop myself!! Hang in there Bro!!! ;)
Man honestly you are a real inspiration, you don’t let hardly anything get to you. I think you’re amazing dude, my dad is going through the same cancer at the moment n so I’m learning a lot about how it effects a person. Anyways love the videos an I’ve actually been learning a lot through your videos. Thank you for all your content. best wishes boss
You build some really nice bikes, my brother who also loved motorcycles, went to Seattle for leukemia treatment years ago Fred Hutchinson research center. I remember him having that same shunt put into his chest and I pray for you to have a full recovery, I'm happy to see that your doing well and the treatments today are better than the early 80's. Keep up the great videos I'm looking forward to seeing your future builds. God bless.
People like you who can keep a positive attitude during the most difficult times a human could face leave me in awe... I hope everything continues down a positive route. Good luck and awesome work on the bike!
If you want your clutch lever to be one finger pull with ease try getting a Righteous Stunt Clutch lever. I have one on my GSXR and R1 and the pull from oem is night and day. Sweet build been following it since the start. Make CR250s great again !!!
Good to see you in the garage, keep doing what you gotta do to be 100% healthy. I’ve always likes to use dry graphite to lube between the bar and throttle tube. It’s not really a project bike if you don’t have issues come up. And just another thing to spend money on but look into the loud mouth intakes, they pretty sweet.
Loving the build and your attention to detail but........ massive respect to you personally for the battle you are having with your health dude wish you a speedy total recovery. Can’t wait to see you wheelie this beast. 🤟🏻
good to see you stay so positive despite everything. when I was 14 I had Hodgkin's disease (cancer in the lymph nodes). The motivation to be able to drive again and to stay busy with motocross has helped me. I personally hate stiff clutch pull so I had on my Honda Magura Hymec this worked great. GR Melvin Meppelink from the netherlands
I’m building an 02 CR125R right now, and your videos are an absolute godsend .. not gonna lie, I’m pretty well copying you’re 250 build with all the same parts/colour combos , and doing the same by taking her right down to to cases .. thanks for these vids man, without em I’d be lost lol
Hi Cameron, I found a pretty good solution to my clutch pull. I used a Righteous Stunt Metal lever and 1mm washers behind the clutch springs to reduce the pressure. I dropped the pull force by close to 15 -20 inch pounds of pressure. Now I can easily pull the lever with one finger. I do not notice any slipping with the lowered plate pressure but I expect a bit more wear of the clutch plates over time. The new lever is super smooth and looks great. Good luck with your health and bike project.
Hey Cam (or anyone else) not sure if you'll ever see this or have already heard about it, but in the instructions for the ODI lock-on grips they mention how handlebars with rough/serrated ends will cause interference with mechanism, and they recommend grinding the burs flat on the handlebar. Thanks for the vids!
Excellent videos, big companies need to take lessons from you on how to do great videos! One of the best on the internet, I would say the best!! God bless you on your health battles. I attended a motorcycle mechanic course in Chicago during the mid 70's and I am learning from you new stuff....keep up the great work!
Not sure if this was brought up, but check where the clutch actuator arm and pushrod contact. Over time those can wear on each other and wear down to the point the chamfer on the arm and push rod are gone. That makes the clutch pull noticeably harder and you lose some of the progressive engagement/disengagement . Sick build, btw.
This is so inspiring! I've a cr250 from 2007 and parked it last year in my garage. Your videos are making me wanted to start a cr250 build in a new model frame. Current one is completely weared out. (rode it until last year 😄) cr250s for life!!! Make cr250 great again!
Make CR250s GREAT again!!! I have an 03 cr250 as well and you’ve helped motivate me to tackle any project on my own. Thanks for giving so much to the community. Your videos are gold!
They make an aftermarket clutch lever and perch that changes the pivot point making it about 80% easier to pull. I use to race in the nationals and it would wear you out being out there for so long. That clutch system was a hand saver. Worth every penny. Almost works like like bolt cutters if you will. Maybe that will make it a little easier to imagine.
Glad too see that you are strong about your state. You will beat it because not only do i believe u will, thousands of others believe also. Dont give up because you are a inspirational and brave person. Good luck with the future. You have my prayers Cameron🍻❤
I had the same problem with my odi grips and actually broke the grip hammering it on. Messaged Jeff Emig on his Instagram and he apologized for not labeling the package with the instructions well enough and sent me another set free of charge! Amazing customer service. With aftermarket bars you have to sand the knurling off the bar and it slides right on 🤙🏼
Great video's bro. Good luck with the 2 yr therapy. Hang in there and keep your head up. My dad got cancer a few years ago,did the chemotherapy and went away but it came back,atronger then the first time,so yea its worth doing the 2yr therapy,just to be on the safe side. I will pray for u bro🙏
People always say how much of a pain it is to get a set of handle grips on, takes certain techniques and struggling but I put some on my CR250 first time and just lined it with my spit it went on beautifully and now it's stuck on fine. Spit is always my solution 😂
The way you push through being diagnosed with leukemia and all your treatment you still have a huge smile and still do the things you love to do, I’m so inspired I’ve been watching your videos for a few months just before you released that you were diagnosed and I’ll say i learned a lot more then I thought I knew.

Cameron, God bless you.. Praying for you to be 100% Healthy 😃
Honda needs to make 2 strokes again instead of their new cr electric dirt bike line. So many people would buy 2020 cr250s and cr500s including me.
I was in the business and nobody was buying CR 500s. We had to sell them at less than our cost just to get them off the floor.
@@2DclanSnipingTeam cr500 is a bike for very few people. Rally/dunes is the only way you'll experience all of the bike
@@bilboswaggens2975 ,
I agree.
Make cr250 great again!! Your build goes crazy everything is perfect down to the bolts
Carbon fuel tank and air box would be sick! Tricky tho. 😂
Make Cr250 great again!! Cant wait for the first start up video 😍
Great to see you back doing what you love! Thanks for sharing your situation brother! God bless!

Try putting your front number plate on to straighten out your Clutch cable
Do gas tank, skid plate, and front brake rotor guard all in carbon fiber!
Literally guy has zero experience "do a gas tank" yeah and fuck up the old one by using it as a mold......
jjoea Bhn he definitely knows what he’s doing. Just have a look through his channel and you’ll see he know what he’s doing.
@@tomsharpe8181 dosent mean you just start doing somethink that you have done on somethink like a gas tank wich is not even possible with that kit

Glad to hear you got cleared man! Sad that that happens but your positivity and grind keep your going man. Love the videos!
Stoked your back at it on this rad build. Best wishes on continued improvements on your health. 👍🏾
We're praying for you Cam, you look great bud, bike too👍
Coating the shock shaft and fork tubes would be killer
SGB Racing can do the entire fork and shock coatings and have them set it up for you using race tech gold valves

Cameron Niemela hey I have a question 250or125 great videos👍🏻
Make cr250s great again! Wait they never stopped being great
My dads got a cr250r 2002 and I always ask him if I can have it😂 also don’t u still wish that honda didn’t stop making there 2 strokes
@@prime0591 yeah they should of never stopped making them. I restored a 02 cr250 that's now my race bike
Tristan Munger ye the cr250 Just look awesome and just the way they ride is bloody awesome
All carbon body work would look sick! When you get good at it I need carbon rear fenders for my trx450r please ;)
Make CR250's Great Again!
I have an 02, loving the build!
God Bless you my dude !! Stay strong Brother .. Remember Good things happen to Good people ....

Omg i just realized u have hard it hard brother, keep well we love you, we are here for you
Put on some softer clutch springs an put oil in it then it wil be easier to pull
thats what i thought too
Putting softer clutch springs would wear the clutch more and it would probably slide more since he Has alot of power on that 2 stroke
SwEeT HoMe aLaBaMa
Lets make CR250's Great again together. :)

Blacken the bolts on the killswitch by heating them with a torch and then dropping them in olive oil :)
hey man sorry to hear about your troubles chin up keep going strong .
My experience with the tusk fiber plates. The core is aluminum and they will be effected by engine oil temp. Your clutch feel will change as you ride.
Great video's bro. Good luck with the 2 yr therapy. Hang in there and keep your head up. My dad got cancer a few years ago,did the chemotherapy and went away but it came back,atronger then the first time,so yea its worth doing the 2yr therapy,just to be on the safe side. I will pray for u bro🙏
