I restored a 1989 rm125 last year fully rebuild the engine and tore it down to the frame and made sure everything was good and replaced everything that needed to be and got it running and looking mint then gave it to a friend of mine who couldn’t afford a dirt bike and he loves it and rides it all the time

[@keeganfoster1792]

Max Johnson wow what a genuine great thing to do

[@straightnobraker4677]

Dude, that is so cool.

[@finnswalling]

Dude can you get clips, that’s heartwarming

[@VlogEpicness]

I learned more from watching this video than my entire year of 9th grade.

[@ryanowens2653]

Vlog Epicness OMG I’ve watched every single one of your vids

[@tnerbsg8134]

Quit watching KZbin in class. Derrr

[@weddingphotographywoodland8833]

you should try not messing about at school

[@romanh.9271]

As a 9th grader, I can confirm

[@chasejaeger2630]

I’m in 9th grade right now and I can confirm this

[@Brewermma]

I feel like u know more then 99% of mechanics man. Its impressive

[@lex1945]

I've had my share of finding crazy stuff while opening neglected engines, LOL! But, it is still fun to make them work properly again. The satisfaction of seeing them become like new again is a kick i wouldn't wanna miss. Great vid again!

[@salted-fn1173]

Who else was waiting for him to upload

[@ianreed4636]

Yeah I rescued a 2001 YZ 250F About 9 years ago. I brought it all the way from a blown up engine with metal debris in every oil journal lol it was crazy like nothing I've ever seen. The crankshaft was broken the piston was cracked. My biggest worry was making sure that I got all of the metal debris out of the engine and oil lines. Dropped a Hot Rods big bore kit in it converted it from manual decompression to automatic decompression what a big difference that made. It was a piece of junk sitting on the side of somebody's house for years in Las Vegas Nevada. After everything was said and done it was an extremely nice bike again and it ran like a champion . Time money and effort gets er done and know how.

[@jayfouracre311]

ian reed ive rescued a few bikes including 1999 yz250 2t and an xr80 also in the middle of another xr80

[@kaneweiker7766]

I've done the same thing with a 2003 rm 125,

[@ianreed4636]

@@jayfouracre311 It's something enjoyable and looking for one right now too start on .

[@frankkapsner188]

I love it how you ex-plane everything as disassemble the motor , Great video Cam

[@bigos.motoowens5813]

I love engine tear downs, to see what’s inside 😍😍

[@doobielawson702]

You have such a great talent for restoration. With all the videos you've done you have to have a great reputation. I think you should be able to make some decent money restoring bikes. It is so satisfying to watch your videos lol.

[@jaxtonpeck187]

CEO of rebuilds

[@bradeblin7663]

She's so clapped but glad to see you bring her back to life. Should make for some good vids.

[@ianreed4636]

That poor bike was neglected pretty bad . Good thing you found it and took in as your own. Now you'll bring it back to health like a poor abandoned dog.

[@johne6716]

Wow!! I really hand it to You Cameron, you got this down. This Rm is going to be revived from the Dead. I cant wait!!! Awsome!!!

[@rglce25]

Pumped to see this thing take shape!!

[@georgebellamy4737]

Hey Cam, Thanks for the Build contest! It's given me the needed motivation to start a project!

[@griffithracingteam2412]

Hoping to pick up a 94 cr250 this week. I'd I do I'm gonna try to enter the contest. Thanks for the awesome videos and all the info. I've learned allot watching!!

[@fernandolee6510]

Your videos are so entertaining and educational. I'm excited to see how the bike will turn out at the end!

[@emiliodecandia8191]

Love it when he drops a video

[@jefftheis742]

Hi Cameron,I did a 94 kx 250 last winter,I had Eric gorr do my top end with 300 big bore,very happy with the way this bike runs

[@GoogleOns-ys9ms]

[@speedskid4838]

I cannot wait to see this bike and its engine get cleaned. It's gonna be so satisfying.

[@jasonblankenagel5412]

Don't forget to check the other side "female side" of those worn dogs in the adjacent gear. With the rounding on the dogs, there will likely be the same or similar wear on the other gear too.

[@maxdecillo]

I learned a Lot seeing You bring life to ALL this bikes . Thank You Very much Cameron. Merry Christmas and happy New year to everybody.

[@richardtschida2321]

good stuff Cameron it's a pleasure watching a real pro in action.

[@jacksonengland4892]

Such a nice thing of you to give a bike away like this. Already entered as soon as I saw the opportunity. Great work👍🏽

[@yellowveedub]

It's crazy how all the Japanese bikes are so similar inside the cases. Thanks for the video Cameron. Good refresher course since I'm rebuilding my 2001 cr 125 engine in January.

[@stuntoholics2110]

Greatest dirt bike rebuilder I’ve done seen 💯‼️

[@kieranmann9761]

O yeah, and Merry Christmas Cam!! Thanks for all the great videos!!

[@zrkn1]

Never a dull moment in Pryme Tyme. Thanks Cam !

[@sideast]

Excellent Vid Man, Really looking forward to this build !!!

[@terrystewart5225]

These rebuild videos are great for me helping me learn how to 1 day fix my own bike keep these videos coming love them!

[@roycedeaton2161]

Great video. Good job Nick. That was funny and awesome.

[@bella0167]

Good luck an Merry Christmas everybody.

[@eastonpal2487]

Loved watching you tear down the engine and explaining what you were looking for

[@dnickens20115]

First time I've watched a tear down video this is nice I wish I knew how to put all the parts back myself I would do my own engine this is so cool

[@neal2608]

Love your RM250 tear-down vids man! This is a TRUE tear-down. Thanks!

[@tmoztothefullest]

Thanks for more rebuild videos - awesome to see you doing well brother!

[@robertwillemsen368]

These are the best vid's for me. Love to see the tear down and build up's.

[@Timmy.clevenger]

You’re videos are the only ones I put notifications on for ❤️

[@Eddiey43]

Also with pressing a steel sleeve into any 2 stroke I have found them to be harder to tune, more prone to cold seizing, and more rattelier. Decently would replate

[@jamesallen6147]

Love to watch you work and am glad your back to normal

[@PremixandPedals]

I always get notifications about your new videos while I am at work. It makes me even more excited to get out of work. It always makes me sad when I see what happens to some dirt bikes....I wish I could save them all!

[@peterceballos5918]

Cameron spreading the Christmas cheer for all to hear. Good job dude!

[@K-Rivs]

Been a while since I've watched one of your videos. Glad to see you healthy again man. Love the 2 smoker video

[@jaredamoroso8273]

Looks like how my 1999 rm125 engine looked like. Buying a used bike, its always interesting of what you will find and see how people take care of there bikes. Awsome video and I hope you and your family have a great Christmas and new year.

[@kckane6630]

Love it Cameron, Merry Christmas man!

[@davidvelez7176]

Love the video 🔥, well detailed. Love rebuilding bikes, working slowly on a 2004 KX125. Super pumped now. 👍

[@goodboyringo9716]

Cameron ... You handled the disassembly & inspection like a pro, with a great attitude ! Someone didn't mix the oil correctly by the looks of the piston or ran it hot , maybe.

[@c3147897]

Was really hoping to see a rebuild on a 4stroke. Maybe next one. Would be awesome to see you do a build with limited tools aswell. In any case, LOVE your videos mate

[@c3147897]

And do like a ktm50! That would be dope

[@terragrappler1]

Awesome video Cameron!you really know yur stuff!

[@vcashout4166]

The inside of the motor really tells a story

[@cvidimos47]

I've been waiting soooooooo long for this next build! KZbin is worth watching again! Now if I could convince the wife to let me do a total tear down of my 04 YZ450F

[@REKLUSE53]

@CameronNiemela 10:14 a tip for removing stripped screw heads that usually works well is a syringe with valve grind compound. Just a small amount on the end of your bit and it works very well. A good last resort before praying it works haha.

[@silkcustoms520]

Cameron is the Man. Mad Skills. Raw Talent

[@SlipDior]

Another great video! Can’t wait to watch this build just like the cr250

[@KeneHyatt]

THANK YOU. Wow, You really know your stuff.

[@meganestes7483]

Very impressive! Very educational and easy to follow (even just sitting watching for brain keeps). Thank you and have yourself a back pat or several 👏🏻🤘🏻

[@kolcheski9315]

Respect from Brazil!!

[@ericthompson881]

Btw Cameron you are very inspiring to watch!!! Keeps me motivated. About to head down to my dirtbike cabin turn on some tunes, crank on the heater and starting tearing shit apart!!!

[@robertwest9105]

Great content and generously paying it forward. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, your fiance, and family. God Bless.

[@JJAYDOG456]

Favorite video so far!

[@AuMechanic]

Older bikes had phillips head screws for just about everything including covers so the impact driver was the main tool used.

[@user-gdxt-7399]

JIS for the japanese ones

[@AuMechanic]

@@user-gdxt-7399 Yeah the tools usually come with both types of cross head.

[@brettcoop9149]

I'd recommend Powerseal USA for the cylinder welding & plating and Crankworks out of AZ for the crank rebuild. Pro-X rods are good. I've had great luck with using both companies - both top notch.

[@kaneweiker7766]

This is going to be a great rebuild to watch

[@77OliverPuller]

Wanted to stop by and say thanks for the WC discount code, used it on a set of Pro Pegs Ti foot pegs and it helped out on the price. Thanks!

[@whiplashgrantor1217]

Another great video. I loved the part that was like an aspca commercial. You make me freakin laugh.

[@CameronNiemela]

Thanks! Haha that's what Nick was going for!

[@jessegrimm9274]

Super detailed video. Great work! Loved the save a bike video! Wish this contest happened a year ago I rebuilt my sons 99 RM125.

[@josephburns8848]

Oh cam bro. My little brother brought home a 01 Honda 250r today. I get to go after some reruns of earlier this year. I'm so stoked. May enter in the contest. I now get to refer to your channel. STOKED

Yeah Cameron does a great job ,he is actually what got me motivated to start my restore project on my 02 CR 250

[@caseysniper308]

at 10.5 mins into this i'm seeing a previous clutch destruction,hence the metal flakes and pings. top end was a given on older bike with top end pre removed. either way i'd replace crank while cases are split.i know you will build this to 110%. keep it going and keep kicking caner ass! merry christmas to you and your soon to be bride!

[@randomvids6685]

Goodmorning y’all from Philippines.merry Christmas 😊 That impact driver can make your life as a mechanic easy. I hope i have 1

Ive only just subscribed, vids are fantastic i love bike engine restoration vids. Esp with the engines. Lovely job you do.

[@07STINKYBOY]

Dude!!!!! Thing was hammered!!!

[@BBperformance.]

The top of the cylinder breaking away like that is from detonation. The cylinder head also shows signs as you pointed out.

[@claypool9113]

Good stuff

[@rameneaterguy]

And for this but you need a big ass socket 😂 7:24. Cam you da man!!! Can’t wait to see this RM when it’s done!

[@eskayler66]

I am about to close the cases of my 2002 CR125 Husqvarna after a complete rebuild. Now I'll be looking for another MX bike to rebuild. I have been doing this since the 60s as a hobby on my own bikes. Cameron has a cleaner shop than mine. I rebuilt the crank myself. I have not polished the engine but thinking about it. Good job Cameron.

[@fullcirclerepair2655]

Yeah I could see clutch basket is good it's aftermarket Henson top-of-the-line We just put In our custom-built 99 rm125 I check out your videos once in a while they're pretty good . Keep up the great work

[@ftball90]

Super good vid Cam! Interested to see how the budget turns out. I’ve attempted several budget builds in the past that ended up being full blown builds once I got in deep enough.

[@Kanenine63]
