@@dirtniron Haha I love your response here. You could go spend over $100 dollars on a tusk steering stem bearing tool if you want. You have to consider how many times you would actually use it though, these bearings last a long time if you take care of them. I gave my local machine shop 10 bucks to do this for me instead.
you guys should have a tv show about your knowledge and techniques. Here in Brazil you guys were going to burst the audience. very top your channel. I would love . I'm tired of just watching football, I love motorcycles and my passion a lot since I understand myself. sorry for so much fajacao. love the bikes above all. a hug and sorry for the small talk. hugs to everyone on the channel
Hey man , thank you for the video. Very well put together and informative. Just a heads up though, you installed the thin washer on the wrong side of the adjustment nut. It goes between the nut and the top triple clamp. 😀
Just did this today. I got tired of holding the frame. as I hit it kept trying to move. So I went to the hardware store and got a 10inch bolt and a nut for the bolt. Then used my bearing driver plates on each side of the frame head tube. With the bolt through it all. As I tightened the nut it set the races
here in brazil we love your work, you are way ahead of us in learning and technology. you give the best. great admiration for the work and dedication of you for these machines. thanks once more friends, and wue that covide 19 end quickly for our security. stay with god my friends.
Thank you I think I finally figured out what’s wrong with my Yamaha Gt 80 ! My throttle got stuck and ended up hitting the back of a building and was not that fast , but I’m knew to fixing not riding . So if the rim is not bent what else would I might check to get the steering back to straight and normal . It’s rideable but not safe by any means . Any info would be greatly appreciated. Great 👍 job packing those barring’s . Have a good one !
i think your forks got tweaked, you need to align them again. I would loosen all the fork bolts and front axle and align everything before tightening all back together.. hope that helps
Dirt N Iron That definitely sounds like that could be it . I’ll give it a go . If it doesn’t work I might just buy another parts bike . Just actually found a great one for like $400 but it’s a runner. The only difference is mine has s title and is in a bit better shape . Mine has all the lights to be street legal and is registered. Best dam deal in my life . $500 for a1979 in really good shape and the guy was a mechanic. He fixed it up got it registered and ride it to work . I think I’ve had it for almost 12 years and it has never not started on me . I wanted the same one as a kid but it was red and mx version not the enduro . So when I saw the thing I literally fled to get it before the next guy got there fcfs! Thanks for your advice! Love the channel 👍
Good video Rado, I don't know how many of these I've done.....might mention that these bearings come from the factory nearly without grease. I don't know why......maybe the save two cents on each bike.....Haha....it would seem so. If a guy gets a new bike this is one thing he should check right away.
There is a light coating on the bearings but not nearly enough grease from the factory. I essentially ruined all the bearings on my new bike after a year from lack of maintenance.
If you have a painted steel frame two things: there’s hardly no lip to tap out the races with any ratchet extension or punch. Heating the frame destroys the paint.

I just got my first dirt bike, it's a 450cc and I'm having a hard time figuring out what the lever does at the bottom, opposite from the shifting lever, it on the side of the kickstart
You should do a supermoto build where turn a 450 street legal , adding lights, blinkers horn etc would be pretty cool. I’m currently trying to figure out how to wire lights on a 2013 rmz 450
Dirt N Iron there’s ways around it I’m pretty sure if you buy the bike out of state and get it registered in Vermont, (don’t have to live there) then get the Vermont plates, registration and transfer it over to California
Hey man...i need an advice for buying my first dirt bike. I know how to ride it, i Just didnt ever have one. So i know you said that for beginners you recommend 250 4 stroke, bit I heard a lot of negative thoughts about 4strokes (they are heavier, their parts are more expensive, 4t are harder to fix). On the other side i heard a lot of things good about 2strokes and not that much bad things. What do you personally prefer for me to buy. Btw ur videos are awesome, im subed.
Everyone of us have a 10 ton press lol
Best video I’ve found! Ran to my buddy’s shop to use his press. Glad I didn’t need to buy a tusk bearing puller. This was much easier!
Glad it helped!
Really good how to video, it helped so much. Let me just buy huge press worth many times of my bike
Thats not my press. You dont have to own one, pressing the bearing is like 10% of entire job. Rest of the video is useless too?
@@dirtniron it is not really a how to video if it tells you to bring it to workshop and pay to get it done
Hit that dislike button then! Have a nice day 😉

@@codyjoseph44 technically a chisel hammer and blow torch is enough if used right but yeah deffo worth 10 bucks to just have it done perfect lol

thanks for encouragement Joao, glad you like the videos!
Good work bro , but isn’t there supposed to be a washer that goes over the lock nutt ?
great job rado, every week i cant wait to see the enduroYZ to start and take some real life!
thanks bro, me too!!

Hey man glad to see the build getting started. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product. Keep up the great work!
You guys are killing it, good work Rado🤙🔥
I’d love to see a DirtCast with you Jay, Cam Niemela, Adam Paganelli, Ping , Cole Seely🤘
thanks Mav! I would love to do dirtcast like that

thanks bro, glad you like it! welcome on board!
Good video 👍 You can also throw them races in the freezer overnight and they will make it easier for going back in
Good tip!

Thanks Tom, yes I heard the same thing too. Never had brand new bike, so dont have my own experience ;)
Yeah just bought a new yz250. I don't think there was any grease there or on the linkage from the factory.

@@marthamryglod291 It wasn't your lack of maintenance as much as it was the factory that got the ball rolling. Hang in there, Martha. Tom
@@tomnekuda3818 thank you. Lesson learned!
It’s been so long I almost forgot about this build!
still on it, more work has been done ;)
Awesome bike
Thanks ✌️
This was very helpful thanks

thanks for sharing, just need to be extra careful with the torch
Good job! And you got some grease. 👍🏾
yea ;)
Your fork guards are on the way from the shop. Will start next week with build the mould 😊
Awesome thank you! Cant wait ;)
@@dirtniron I put a second pare for the ktm inside 😊
Thanks for the help its awesome
No problem 👍

its either decompression or hot start
Back brake😂??

Cool!! thanks Nir

its interesting idea, but here in California the rules are very strict. Cant get dirt bike street legal anymore.. it has to be factory street legal

How old were you when you started riding motocross? Did you learn it on the street or the track?
I got my first dirt bike when i was 32, before that i had only street bikes since i was like 10

its ok to get 2-stroke as well, just take it easy. do your research and get something. good luck!
Yes I will!!
Another good video man 👍
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!
I've heard you need to pack the bearing with grease before installing. you had yours installed dry, is there a reason for that?
I packed them before installing to the frame, I did not want to get my buddies press all covered in grease..
@@dirtniron you gotta pack in the area between the roller retainer and inner race though.
What do you do if you don’t have a press?
Отличное видео, спасибо !
Where can I get a sleeve to push the bearing on? I have a press but no sleeve:(
sometimes you can use a pipe.. big nut.. or something similar..
Hi Rado what is tool you ordered from amazon the INSTALLER thanks
i got this one amzn.to/2wXbgrC
How is the tool called we're you are putting in the inner thing for the bearings
do you mean the press or the bearing driver ?
@@dirtniron the bearing driver I think it is
?
Why not just pack the bottom bearing BEFORE pressing it on the steering stem? That is a lot easier than packing it while on the stem.
Link for the bearing driver please?
here you go Ben amzn.to/33hZhRF
Bearings are the biggest pain in the ass maintenance job on a dirt bike...
yea, many times neglected too..
I would of did it the exact same way👍
cool bro!
Probably better to put the race in the freezer rather than heat up and burn off paint on steering head.
5 dislike, come on guys, whats the problem. Just comment it...
thanks Istvan ;) but its ok.. they dont like the press mostly
Yea mate everyone has a press aye
I dont, my friend does..
