[@BrokenSprocket]

Just had a KZbin binge on this channel last night and get up this morning to find a new video the KZbin gods are shining on me today lol...

[@tymonhill9488]

Hey I’m rebuilding my 92 rm250 & your videos are so helpful you put in a lot of time I wish I could like more then once

[@supertedogpriken]

Amazing. All the smle parts must cost a fortune. but that has to be the best restoration i have ever seen.

[@bangintangin89]

You are a bloody genius. I wish I lived next door to you. So we could be mates ! Please keep doing videos your work is absolutely stunning! And everyone can learn from watching you! Thanks again! From Seattle Washington!

[@abdullaismail4394]

Nice job, this bike should be showed off at a museum.

[@joski9030]

I love this resto and there’s something really chilled about your accent dude , makes easy listening and great to watch as always. 👍🏻

[@baikal4784]

Hands down the best motorbike resto videos on you-tube! looking forward to the next video!

[@TheWrate]

Don't have the stepped washer? Just make a new one. I'm blown away by this build series.

[@BuffsVintageBikes]

Great work, your attention to detail is remarkable 👍🏼

[@-MaDkInG-]

This bike is coming along nicely. Cant wait to see the first startup. Great work.

[@rbljackson]

Getting close!! I really enjoy how you integrate making your own parts while restoring this bike.

[@roccoeldiablo]

Hello Mister, thanks from France to alls yours F....g and fabulous vidéos. Mx for ever and .have a go day. 🇫🇷✌️🏍️🌈

[@dcc914]

In time your videos will have millions of views. Very nicely done. All I can say is wow.

[@509guy7]

this is just soo satisfying to watch.

[@nickac1124]

I just can't believe how amazing this build is going!! You have inspired me to step up my game! I could be mistaking but i believe the cotter pin that holds the rear break foot leaver should be installed so that it is facing in toward the frame. I have a 1996 RM250, it needs a lot of love and after watching this build i thin its going to get some.......

[@G9Garage]

Cheers! You are right, the pin is backwards. Good pickup!

[@CarlosRodrigues-fe9iz]

@@G9Garage g9 i need Help to find the same stickers to your rm 125 92 Help me you are amazing rebuilder crongratulations from Portugal

[@dazcapri7004]

Another superb video mate the standards you achieve are amazing

[@MotoMirius]

I'm surprised you retained the rear hose. Manufacturer recommended replacement of OEM brake hose is typically around four years because it does start to deteriorate, especially internally. OK for a show bike of course. Great build and very professional presentation and post prod.

[@riky8651]

I've just discovered your channel. Congratulations, great job! Like all your videos. Greetings from Italy

[@pate7934]

Awesome video as always g9! Keep it rocking!

[@beb38138]

Great job as always. You're really making my 89 rm 250 restoration look not so well 😉

[@spencerryals8896]

Top quality! Keep up the good work!

[@officialmysteriousrider6327]

You should invest in one of the powder coat guns and a old kitchen electric oven brilliant for small parts but you have inspired me to get a zinc plating kit & yellow cromate G9 garage

[@G9Garage]

Hope the zinc is working for you. I am thinking about buying a powdercoat setup...

[@officialmysteriousrider6327]

@@G9Garage i actually have one and it works grate mate done all the small parts on my dt125r i just use my old kitchen oven but will some day make a big oven i was thinking of making one out of them old metel fileing draws yano like what uster been in school office but yes good on yer mate much tougher than paint iam sick of touching up chips on my frame

[@coreymcconkey1983]

This is such an amazing project i picked up a 90 rn 125 been watching all your videos my son 10 years old rides and loves watching and learning too we are curious of a good place to find parts for older bikes

[@G9Garage]

Hey Corey thanks for watching! If you have a look at the Q&A vid for the RM250 I talk about where I get my parts from.

[@coreymcconkey1983]

@@G9Garage Thank your videos really are an inspiration for me and my son it brings back a great feeling and you have done an amazing job on the bikes you have restored

[@larryfly3615]

Amazing quality as usual!

[@zardportugal]

Superb work. Congrats.

[@sethjeffreys3055]

The music you use , what is it ? Category wise its relaxing. And once again me and my boys love your video's there just awsome.

[@G9Garage]

Hey Seth not sure what category you’d put the music in. I just use whatever I think works. It’s one of the harder parts of editing for me! Glad you and your boys enjoy it. Cheers!

[@officialmysteriousrider6327]

It's like magic that vapor blasting its all most like the parts have been painted so wish id done same instead of sims engine silver enamel G9 garage

[@DailyDerpsicorn]

Love your videos mate. I especially love your ClickSpring inspired style and presentation; makes the vides very clean and precise. Just one question, why didn't want to replace the rear brake hose? You ended up replacing all the other rubber seals in regards to the braking system, it makes sense (in my mind) that you would be replacing a rubber brake hose as well.

[@G9Garage]

Cheers for the comment! I decided to restore the rear brake line for a few reasons. 1. I couldn't find an OEM replacement. 2. Aftermarket lines don't look anything like OEM and the rear is out there on display. I loathed using an aftermarket front line but it's all hidden by the disc cover. If the bike was going to be a racer (it won't be) then i'd 100% do something else. But for this application it looks new and OEM and works just fine for now. Thanks for watching!

[@DailyDerpsicorn]

Fair call and solid logic.

[@burstcasino]

@@G9Garage I love your videos and it inspired me to find a complete bike with some issues ('86 rm250). Let's say the price was right ($125). I've just attacked one problem at a time. My current issue is the front brake hose. The protective sleeve is failing in spots. . Maybe two layers might work better as the sleeve is fairly thick. I tried to google the writing on your heat shrink but didn't come up with anything solid yet. Did you use 16mm wrap with a shrink factor of 2:1? Thanks and Howdy from Texas!

[@hugoruffin7913]

Vivement le prochaine épisode !

[@axesleonlebron5509]

Very good.

[@dezracr]

I really hop you do the restore on the wr 500 that bike has a huge cult following here in the US I’ve had a few wr250z 2strokes I did a nice restore on a 96 I found a GYT long rod kit in a small shop in California that really finished off the build to factory race specs. There’s a company called ringmaster images that does graphics from early 90’s bikes too really quality work as well

[@G9Garage]

I have a WR250Z that I just fitted a ringmaster sticker kit to!

[@dezracr]

G9Garage what year is it? Can you post a pic?

[@gusc8806]

sos un genio!!!!!

[@th4330]

Brilliant video as usual. What’s your opinion on the rm 500s from the early 80s? You ever owned one?

[@G9Garage]

Cheers Tom. Never owned one. Very rare bike!

[@Harvooo55]

Where do you get your manuals and exploded diagrams from??? They look pretty handy and high quality

[@G9Garage]

I think i made the parts manual myself by copying the drawings from a parts site like partzilla. The workshop manuals came second hand via eBay. Cheers!

[@abdulraoof4335]

Hi. Did u change the sight glass on the master cylinder?

[@johnybrug5406]

Nice !

[@jaredk777]

Where does the metal clip go? You skipped over that part on the rear brakes.

[@nathanmiller9545]

Hey I need help I’ve got a 1999 rm 125 rebuilding my rear brake which I’m glad because I’ve noticed that I need a new washer but I haven’t got a metal clip that goes between the brake pads do I need one and where can I buy one from can’t seem to find any?

[@Charlies644]

Is this the correct brake lever for the 92. if not what are you using? i need to replace or repair mine.

[@G9Garage]

Hey mate. Unfortunately I couldn’t find a 92 pedal. This one is from a 91. Fits fine but is slightly different in shape.

[@sk8erblake420]

great video! where do you get all your parts from? i'm having a hard time finding parts for my 88' rm250

[@G9Garage]

Hi Blake, lots of places - cmsnl, partzilla, eBay, local bike shop...

[@dillonlovehonda]

Size of the heat shrink?

[@jameshatfield6814]

Hey what size was the heat shrink you used for the rear brake line?

[@G9Garage]

I used the smallest that would fit over the hose end fittings. In my case it was 16/8. That is - 16mm starting diameter down to 8mm after heat.

[@jameshatfield6814]

G9Garage gotcha man, appreciate the response!

[@tracymarlar934]

Where did you get your stickers at?

[@G9Garage]

The swingarm stickers are original Suzuki
