Hi can you please mention the link of website from where you bought that Leds both main and the pilot lights?..do you have a voltage regulator fitted along with the rectifier? Great restoration btw❤

Hi thank you. I do not remember where I got the lights from. I advise folk to look at the video and source a 6v style equivalent. Chances are many dealers are stocked with the same product anyway and I certainly don’t have anything special. Yes the VR is essential otherwise it will blow the lights. Get rid of the old stacked plates version for a cheap electronic version. Cheap as chips.

The 1982 RM250 is legend. Definitely one of the best motocross bikes of its era. This is a worthy restoration.

Finally!!! A PROPER restoration, not just people with excess cash throwing big money with bags of NOS parts at a project. Taking the time to find, repair, restore and revive old, existing parts, creating the unobtainium bits from scratch and fabricating a piece of history for the rest of us to behold. Congratulations on such a job well done.

I recently purchased a Matchless Model X. It has an inoperative Smiths M2 clock. The winder mechanism appears broken and is on the back side of the clock. Your video tells me that I should have an M3 clock with the winder on the side at about the 4:00 0'clock position. Can you be of any assistance? Trade?

I didn't have time yet to do the valve clearance/ adjustments but i my issue is that the vaccum for #2 cylinder cannot increase more than 1.6 cmhg to be as the same valvue of the #1 of 2.1. I can decrease it but not increase it, so i'm assuming could be a valve clearance/shim/burnt valve issue. Before going on and doing like the video, i want to confirm that this could one of the solutions. Also, how diffcult is for a guy that's didn't do this procedure before? I'm aware i have to extra-mega-careful with everything but none of the mechanics from my area are willing to do it as it's not rentable for them. Any advice if it's worth doing this for a 50k bike and most probably the previous owner didn't did it ?

Finished a race resto on mine about 6 months ago ( covid project ) and yours actually looks more complete than the basket case I paid too much for . You're in for a wild ride bro , and that's before ya even get to start it for the first time ... ( Race resto means immaculate but not original cause they were , umm , a wee bit crap even in 1982 )

Two strokes are a bit of a mystery to me so I wouldn’t have picked up on the seal orientation. I’m liking the single piston ring though. That’s very different to easing in multiple rings on multiple cylinders. Another great video Rob

Really like your videos! All the little details. Without sounding like a keyboard worrior, it looks like you are using that wera torque wrench to its full potential. I was tought to use a plain breaker bar to loossen really tight stuff. And keep the torque wrench just for tightening to the required torque. Just sharing what i know! Keep it up!

I like to practice with chainsaws and outboards. At 12:33 I couldn't help but think that oring should have gone inside the groove of the steel spacer. Also, the wear marks on the spacer are odd... might it actually be installed the other way round?

The air in the crank area is actually at a low pressure as air is pulled through the intake ports and into the combustion chamber as the piston moves down. The crank seals keep air (and oil on the clutch side) from being sucked in. That’s why when crank seals wear out, engines runaway with an extremely lean condition, and/or burn transmission oil. Great video though, I really enjoy your work!

@MyRestoration1 16 күн бұрын
Thanks Joe. That make a sense. Of course it’s low pressure in the chamber. I just wonder why Suzuki do it differently?
