Daughter is adorable man congratulations enjoy every moment!

Steering head bearing grease, fresh fork oil and set the sag top, off radiator fluid... maybe a peek at the water pump...you're dialed for the summer.

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

Try it, you won’t regret it. 💯

It’s addicting even just rebuilding or getting on old engine running again

[@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.

Love to hear it! Thanks for watching!

So much respect for you leaving the original style of plastics on it

[@ayothepizzahere7638]

love the originals but newer plastics on these bikes make them so insanely clean

[@augieh6146]

@@ayothepizzahere7638 well yes. But when I see it I’m like… why? I’m a strictly og plastic for that bike being ridden and at most a newer four stroke front plate and fender. I’m kinda stuck In 08-13 aesthetic ara.

Lmfaooooooo just like Cameron did! He has the same taste as me so crazy. I didn’t realize this was the video it is

[@terrygoodman5980]

Your attention to detail is outstanding!

[@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.

[@aussiedigger1441]

Your bikes look amazing Cam! Great to see you are healthy mate.

[@supermairo1716]

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

[@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 🤘🧡👍

[@crffilmz7300]

Hell yeah man cam is back

[@christophersharp1884]

I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video. It's definitely a great go-through of what to do. Have you ever changed the front fork oil? I'm considering doing it soon because the seal isn't looking too great on mine.

[@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!

[@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.

Smoked it so hard your hat fell off. 😂😎 another mega video!

[@CameronNiemela]

Haha ripped her a little too hard

[@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.

[@WalterBarger-io9ck]

Awesome video I always enjoy everyone your videos that you put out and I have to say you are definitely one awesome mechanic . truly hope you're feeling well . Every time I watch these videos I sure do miss my Honda CR250R been looking around still haven't found one but I will always remember how to rip and race a CR250R Honda the bike was like a handful and I loved it. it ran like a raped ape. and I loved it. PS if you ever run across one and you want to sell it let me know. God bless brother StayWell

[@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.

[@rockman49er]

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

you have no idea how fast i clicked on the notification that you posted a video! love all the content cam, especially 125 content since i got a 04 and i need to get in the garage and do a spring tuneup and fix a few things as well✌️

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😅

[@250race]

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
