Daughter is adorable man congratulations enjoy every moment!

[@datsun620]

Just want to say thank you Cameron you were THE inspiration for my 2001 cr250 complete rebuild. Your videos were on repeat daily til I got it put together. Keep up the content bud. Love from puyallup.

[@CameronNiemela]

Love to hear it! Thanks for watching!

[@Mikehoncho191]

I have a 01 cr125 and I’ve blown it up 5 times in the past four years and I barely even ride it

I don’t ride or have ever owned any of these machines but I find it relaxing watching you work.

Good to see u working on the 2 smokes again gotta say I've missed the uploads the last few years but health is more important anyways... love the video and can't wait to see more

[@brandonpoole1670]

The leaf blower is key. I generally clean the chain before washing my bike, but rust will develop quickly on a non-lubed chain. The trusty leaf blower solves this problem. I appreciate your content. A few of your earlier videos on 2-stroke carburetors helped me quite a bit with my first 2-stroke.

[@terrygoodman5980]

Your attention to detail is outstanding!

Thanks dude I appreciate that! Means a lot to have your support👊👊

[@augieh6146]

@@CameronNiemela I used to look up stuff on KZbin and some how your videos would pop up. Chances are I didn’t have interest in xr 70s or crf 250s but the videos were intriguing. Since day one for all ages

[@mototoad1242]

Glad to see you're doing good. I'm not on KZbin often. But I was while I dealt with a rare form of testicular cancer..you had your battle shortly after I was done with chemo. I sold my bike to help cover ends as I was a new father right before diagnosis, so I lived vicariously through this series 😂 I loved the attention to detail with your videos, especially this build. Hope all's well brother, much love from Florida 🤘🧡👍

[@jaymed5228]

I just bought a 03 cr125 super cheap with the water pump dripping like crazy and the head gasket not sealing well. When I went to the machine shop I asked the guys helping me to measure the cylinder with he’s gage tool and the bike is 2mm over size’s. Who ever did this build spent a lot of money to it, they did a whole Wiseco build up to it including rod crank shaft and piston vforce3 carbon reed’s fresh pro circuit full exhaust system and lectron Carb. I pretty much got a hell of a deal on it for $1,800 bucks 😂

Cameron you said you neglected that bike... man my crf250r takes more of a beating than that thing its dirty as heck since my pressure washer is down and I hate seeing it like that but your so called 'Neglected' bike is WAY cleaner than mine could ever be! 06 crf250r btw Edit:While watching the vid I run steel just since they last longer,making me wanna tear my bike back apart and make it clean like I built the first time maybe cleaner! and man I love your 125 and the 250 even more! cant wait for the rm to be finsihed. Been watching since your old crf250r like 5 or so years ago maybe even longer and thats what inspired me to get my 06 crf250r!

I recommend you put a spacer. Behind your brake pads so your plunger isn't sticking so far out if you understand what I'm saying. I have it on all my bikes You can actually Intake the rest of the pad off

[@dreyden1277]

For the tool you used to brighten up your aluminum do I just buy the hand pad cleaning kit?

[@CameronNiemela]

Yes, that is the one linked in the video description.

[@waternfireTHC]

in every riding group theres cameron style of bike care then theres that dude that shows up with the dirt from last ride lol.

[@d_teazy0787]

you’re like the chris fix of the dirt bike world

[@skylar530]

I think those are heat insulators on the pads. They are probably to help keep the fluid cool. If you never experience brake fad you should be fine with out them.

[@ClipsCboysTV]

what a beautiful bike man god bless honda

[@danielarney9729]

Aluminum easier on basket, gears, spokes, hub.looking forward to track stuff. Nice to see you have a bike to just have fun on. Wonder ifl 927, Klotz, Blendzall is less toxic to be around even though gas itself spits out benzene, toluene, xylene, used to raise octane.They all seem worse than lead being added, harder to pin the donkey tail. True fuel use to claim benzene free, but that was probably over 8 years ago I seen that label on the can, doesn't say it now.

[@shanegoodrich3663]

those rotors look worn imo keep up the nice vids! i would have never thought have measuring the distance from ur rear axle to ur swingarm

I had the same sproket on my 2013 crf250r and that is crazy how a cr barely chewed it up, my 250 had snapped the teeth off😅

[@SpreadingKnowledgeVlogs]

Hey have you ever tried aluminum brightener sprays for the raw aluminum pieces? It’s a acidic product that leaves aluminum looking polished and works wonders but you have to be careful using it around painted and rubber as well as clear plastics and glass and need to wear proper ppe when using it but i would try it if I were you cause I’m pretty sure you would like it better then using the scuff pads although those scuff pads are great. They make scuff pads that connect to a 3 inch round backing plate that connects to any standard drill and makes for easier work using the scuff pads.

What is the pros and cons of steel and aluminum sprockets

[@Outdew]

Hey i see the link for the Grease gun, what actual grease are you using in it?

[@freerfixedit]

So why did you opt for the lighter aluminum sprocket to save horsepower, but go with an x ring chain??? just curious

[@CameronNiemela]

The x ring chains last much longer than standard, and barely eat up any power. The ProX X ring chain is the same weight as most standard chains, and the friction difference is minimal. If you use a good x ring chain there is not much power loss

[@rockman49er]

Im trying out the hybrid sprockets 2 piece aluminum body and steel teeth and green anodized to match my 98 kx250 😮

It is better to use a micrometer to gauge braking disc thickness.
