    Although the mechanics of the rebuild are critical, the most important aspects you nailed are the oem style seat cover, decals and fork boots. This seemingly small detail is what brings those of us that raced this bike right back to 1986.

      At first I thought it was a Honda XL350 from the 1986 movie The Wraith.....As a kid I thought it was the XL600? Instead of the 350. I so wanted the Dodge M4S and the Honda XL lol.....I just checked the 350 had a 6th gear,22-ish hp & got like 86 mpgs. Top speed of 85-ish mph. The 600 only had 5 gears more hp,around 46 and 100 mph but only like 46mpgs. Not sure how much a 6th gear would bring hwy mpgs up. But if it'd add 20 more mpgs. I think it'd be well worth it. To make a good dual sport/true off road adventure bike.

    I like your videos, but I would never put stuff back together as dirty as you do. The time to clean it is when it is disassembled. That being said, good job on the rebuild. You need a vapor hone to clean off those parts. Your cylinder would have come out looking like new. Always change both sprockets AND the chain at the same time, otherwise, you will just eat up the new parts with the old worn out parts. It sure is pretty.

      This dude is doing this for a living. He cleans stuff up enough and we don’t always know what his plan is for the bike next. His obvious talent is for fixing broke shit and getting it running. He is not a custom builder. That’s somebody else. This dude is meat and potatoes. Fix the broke shit. That’s why he gets 25,000 views in the first day. It’s a challenge with the end goal is rip the beast in the land. Looking pretty is that Sabo dude. I prefer to watch the dude figures things out over watching a 45 minute commercial for high end parts and tools.

    What a beautiful bike, you did a fantastic job restoring it to its original beauty...just like I remember them back in the 80's when i was a young whipper snapper going crazy on these. I had the exact same model but the CR250 for many years, rode that bike all over the mountains of Saddleback Orange County Califiornia and even Big Bear mountain, without ever having a problem. What a legend. Thank you!

      I think he's more worried about the bottom line, which you really can't blame him for. I used to leave small issues like this alone on purpose as a negotiation point. When a buyer points them out and I give them a small break on the asking price, they feel as if they're getting over a bit, but it's all a part of the plan.

    I would rebuild the front shocks to ,they looked a bit soft when you kickstart it in the first video.
    Also if you change a worn sprocket it is always better to do the front and rear and chain at the same time. Now you run a have worn chain on a new back sprocket .This will only make the new back sprocket faster in to a sawblade again.
    Maybe you did replace them off camera.
    But hey ,this is a keeper.
    I was 16 when this model came out. And at that time Honda had the 22:59 first watercooled 50cc here in Europe ,the MTX dirtbike and the MBX streetbike.

      The MTX and MBX and even their older brothers the MT-5 and MB-5 could easily run 110 Km/h by only taking the restricted exhaust pipe off and some port polish and change the jets in the carb.
      Had a couple of tickets back in the time when the police did a speed control.
      They parked at the bike exit at the schools with their roller bank to measure the speed, they put the back wheel on the roller bank and ran them through the gears.
      You got a ticket and a week time to show up at the police station to control if your bike didn't get faster than 40Km/h .
      As soon as you got home off with the restriction parts and ride until you get the next speed control.😉

    I remember going to the Honda dealership with my brother and father because we wanted to buy a set of these, but the dealer wouldn't move a nickel on the price, so my old man walked. It turned out Honda only imported X amount of these, and it was far less than what the demand was, so dealers already had most of them sold before they even showed up. We ended up going to the Suzuki dealer and he moved considerably on the price and we ended up bringing home a 1985 RM 125 (mine) and 1986 RM 250. That Full Floater rear suspension linkage was a thing of beauty on the track. The engine was an upper mid-to-top-end monster! I didn't realize just how heavy all that linkage was until I traded it in a couple years later for the 1987 model. It was huge.

      ​@bobbyd4400 They were all top-end, plus the suspension was supreme back then. This was the first year for the cartridge forks, which were light years better than the regular forks, and like I said, the absence of all that rear linkage really lightened up the back of the bike. It felt twenty pounds lighter than the '85 model, but the design of the Full Floater made the rear of the bike track beautifully through the rough stuff like Unadilla.

    Man your work is great but your patience when it comes starting fresh engines is appalling and actually annoys me..😡 There's no need to constantly try revving a cold engine!! Until a 2 stroke warms up that is when all the damage is being done, when it's cold it just blows the oil out the tail pipe and doesn't lubricate anything so as a rule of thumb you should never attempt revving the engine until it revs willingly without "bogging", you should never attempt to force the engine past the bog if your taking off cold and it doesn't want to rev yet..🙄🤦

      I'm from Australia and it never ever gets even remotely close to that cold here and I would still never treat any of my bikes like that when the engine's are cold, my collection is small but definitely cool!!
      I have an '83 Rm250d, an '83 Cr480r, an '85 Cr500r and a crazy looking Yellow, Pink, Purple and Blue graphiced 2008 Rm250 that I just finished restoring myself for a regular rider.

    With that type of plastic use a propane torch on the area you’re placing the sticker. A chemical process takes place between the plastic and burning propane. The sticker will stick a lot better. You just have to heat it long enough for it to be comfortably hot to the touch.

    Tips, 3m super 77, is what I spray on the seat foam. I also use my heat gun to warm up gently the vinyl. So it's easier to work with. The 3m super 77, prevent the vinyl lifting off the foam. A plastic polish kit, may be something to think about, 1,000 and 2,000 grit wet sand and 1 micron polishing compound for plastic works great and a hand buffer. I'd probably have done that before applying stickers. I'd have done all the plastics. Water and soap, 2 tsp. To that bottle. And a vinyl scraper. For bubbles. Then let dry, before peel off. However old decals, seem to need to be heated up some, for the pre mask tape to come off easier in some cases. Also a little heat helps with it sticking better. Basically 1 to 2 medium fast swipes with it.

    Bro is trying to get someone killed not glueing the grips on, one hard tug at speed and your arm is flying off the bars.... also stop yanking the throttle while starting if the choke is on if any throttle needed to start just hold it open not even an ⅛ and kick it dont yank it... and also it wont clean itself out with throttle if the choke is still on. Also you shouldve put some rubber cement on crack in the reed cage/manifold to stop it from spreading.

    I'm commenting on some of your bike repair habits I have 26 yrs racing riding and repairing bikes some the things I saw like you should thoroughly clean your gasket surfaces, and if you replace a sprocket u need to replace the chain and fr aswell they all wear evenly, and soak your clutch plates if you remove them.I did forget always gave your rear axle towards the brake side and install your nut on the brake side. Everything u work on has a proper torque spec

    That bike was nit all that bad and had to have someone who had previously somewhat maintained it. I flipped many quads n bikes when i resided in upstate NY and the many so called "simple" fixes were often how i aquired things so cheaply as the previous owners realized that replacement of $11 carrier bearings the local shop either wanted $200 to replace or flat declined doing the job to begin with resulting in owner giving up n selling pre carnage or proceeded to butcher expensive and critical parts and components like axles n swing arms. Also large through bolts that go through the rear wheel and the one that goes through frame swing arm and motor cases that have not been serviced and well slathered with anti seize in a good while i have had literally taken a week or better to remove without destroying crap to get them out as they become so rust welded into the combination of metals they are in contact with along with bearings that move at pivot points and stationary contacts like frame n engine cases. Getting a through bolt moving enough to be able to get a 180 rotation can be quite the endeavor and that is often just the beginning of the process of penetrating oil soak spin the bolt get some heat on things n a nut back in the threads and get to brass hammer whacking heating spinning and lubing if persistent and having a torch you can get most out after a few hours but i had 1 CR80 Swing arm bolt hold tight for a solid week i didn't have a torch at the time but for a good 5or 6 days id squirt whack n spin before i went to the day job come home n put some time on other things with the bike and spinning and whacking several times every evening get it tapped out a bit and whack it back home n then back the other way gaining 1/2- 1in more each day without just going apeshit on it and destroying the threads on a $30 dealer cost bolt pre ebay
