What video should I do next?

[@endlessprogression9543]

Cameron Niemela Riding video, the 125 needs some attention!!

[@pitrideradz]

Engine build gets my vote! Quality video as always Cameron

Since we are on Suspension, you might as well do the rear shock before you move onto other things.

[@garymacleod5826]

My first fork rebuild went unusually smooth thanks to you. I can't thank you enough!

[@cane2253]

If anyone wants to learn about Jesus Christ reply

[@rtharmon454]

If your bad at remembering how they assemble, only do one shock at a time. I already fucked up. it's why I'm here.

[@Winterstick549]

Good idea. And take pictures.

[@CatholicCrusader__30]

ya I removed the damper oil as well when it was not necessary now have to re bleed it. only the seals needed to be changed. that damper takes a lot of effort to take the air out. gladly I did not remove the other damper. hope it goes well for u.

[@reubenkoehn122]

I’m just rebuilding my rm125 forks and you can not imagine how much this helped me, thank you so much

[@missmymountain]

Great video. I'll add that it's a good idea to normalize, or relax, an o-ring after it's installed. With a small screwdriver or pick just place it under the o-ring and lift it out of the groove as if you were going to remove it. Then just roll the screwdriver or pick around the circumference of the groove to allow the o-ring to "unwind" and sit in a relaxed position. Also, the oil will wick up cardboard so the level is best checked with something a little more non-porous to get an accurate measurement.

[@dustinmatney4324]

Love your videos you really take the time to break down what your doing and give the little tips or tricks that can mean alot for someone that hasn't done something like this

[@DesertDirtRider]

I just finished my set after watching the video. Thanks Cameron!

[@bloodfox567]

im a simple man when i see Cameron post a new video i click and i enjoy.

[@OGKILLa9365]

Nice tutorial man. I like how you're very organized

[@mxrider2strokebraaap54]

The quality of your videos is amazing!🤙 The cr is going to look so fresh🔥

[@longkeithdiablo8812]

"Looks like there's some dirt underneath the clip there" I swear I could hear the panic in your voice 😱 😉

[@CameronNiemela]

Hahaha

[@rileybeer2836]

Great tutorial man...i like how you have alternatives for special tools which not everyone can get and you explain the steps perfectly... thanks man this really helps me with my CR250

[@thatwestcoastrooferguy1333]

I like the idea of matching them up in order it really makes things easier in making sure things go back in order

[@ryanasmar8242]

This is AWESOME! I’m rebuilding my cr250 and I have never done forks before, this helped a lot.

[@vanalstyne9834]

Good video. I just did mine and used 1000, 1500, then 2,000 grit paper (wet with fork oil) to smooth out the lower fork tube. Worked well. I really like the cardboard trick, I'm stealing it. Thanks Cameron.

[@MaxwellBenson80]

Awesome video! I had no idea how many parts were involved with the forks. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us all!!

[@rustydog100]

An absolute clinic on fork rebuilding...! 🤘 Great info, great procedure and great camera work... Nice pace as well... Way to give people confidence to try on their own...! GREAT WORK BRO...!

[@videoproductionlosangeles6131]

You know this like an original factory mechanic!

[@TheCharillz23]

I love that your videos are so professional and clean on builds and teardowns, but yet you still show that you dont need that $80 tool!

[@s.thompson867]

I'm sure this video will a great resource when the time comes to put seals in the forks on my SuMo. Your videos have already been helpful as I have put a 1977 IT400 back in order. It's forks were a heck of a lot easier then the ones in this video! I did have to make a special tool to get them apart though.

[@francineganmor9952]

Gosh, it hurt me to see you working without gloves, especially after what you went through. Then I realized this was shot before that :) Great vid as always Cam.

[@SM-vq2vs]

Really really big thanks to you. i changed the seals to my forks and the job come out great with these instructions

[@thomassylvestro9041]

Your videos are awesome. So clear and well thought out. I really appreciate your level of detail.

[@manuelmoya4487]

Excellent Tutorial man!! Nice how you show the disassemble and assemble process !!small details and tricks are very important. Thanks!!

[@thareal1318]

I can’t get enough of your videos!!!!!

[@bradgriffith6234]

Another master piece! You make it look sooo easy. Thanks for sharing

[@elijahhall671]

Hey Cameron I just want to say thanks for the cr250 videos. I'm in the process of rebuilding my '01 and I've been watching your videos. After hitting some 100ft jumps last week my forks are dripping puddles after sitting for a week, so I ordered the exact hardware as you so I can watch your video and attempt to get the job done right and rip in the Oklahoma hare scramble in April . So thanks for the content man. These videos will come to good use through the season as I rebuild and replace!

[@ryancox5659]

A much better video than the one 7 years ago definitely improved

[@mineer-pg5sv]

Insanly helpful video 10 times better then all the other fork rebuild videos out there thanks

[@delriodm]

Excellent video sir! I love your passion for clean, neat work. The results speak for themselves. This video has helped me conquer rebuilding the forks on my ‘06 CRF 250R. Honestly, I probably wouldn’t have attempted the job if it hadn’t been for your efforts. Cheers!

[@genericjonathan4115]

thanks for showing how to take the forks apart

[@umadbroyolo8413]

Thumbs up for the PVC seal driver tool!!!

[@endlessprogression9543]

Another classic from ReviveMoto. Priceless info as always Cameron thank you 🙏👍🏻

[@davebon5085]

Best Dirt Bike Videos on all of utube bro... hope yr feeling better

[@teapotblack1688]

Thanks to you willing to share your extensive knowledge with others I've successfully rebuilt my 96 rm125 forks...chuffed as, thank you 😊

[@4wheelerandutvparts890]

Very good video for someone who has never done this before

[@mintyfresh7983]

Loving these 250 videos!!! KEEP THEM COMING!!!!!

[@jorgemadera3492]

u make it look so ez it makes me believe i got this ty man

[@mikec1544]

A Lectron carb makes all the difference 👍🏼 just an idea loved mine

[@MrSmokeingood]

Watching these suspension videos is definitely making me reconsider sending my forks and shock off to a local tuner here in California to get a re-valve . All the local guys around here got some high price tags though ...considering I get my correct shim stack and springs for my weight I’m considering doing the rest of the assembly..I’m curious if the results will be close to some of these suspension gurus around here

[@Kuhtlass]

Always thought there was more work to it, pretty straight forward too.

[@TerrySmith-fo3qe]

Thanks so much for your fork videos. I really appreciate it man. I bought a Ducati P V4 with a bent fork so know I can repair it myself. Thanks again!!

[@dropsofink1336]

This is a well made video about an important skill.

[@angelbeck4713]

You’re the best, You make it look easy.

[@TrikeLife567]

Cameron thank you for sharing your knowledge and giving us the viewers The step by step procedures To keep our machines in tip top shape I am in the process of a full 85 Tri Z Build from the frame up I am going to attempt a full fork rebuild For the first time Is their a difference in telescopic forks Compared to the inverted I look forward to the challenge Once again thank you for all your hard work Invested in these videos They are full of valuable information That will stay with me God bless Cameron

[@davidpodyuchenko1341]

You really did make that look so easy and smooth, thank you man. Subscribed.

[@mrtaser556]

The best video so far and I watched a lot of videos. Thank you.

[@SquidJuice8duece]

Quick tip for next time. run some aluminum oxide 220 sand paper on the fork tubes and create a cross hatch. It will take down any nics and helps reduce stiction from the seals. As for the damping rod, use some fine scotch bright pad with oil to smooth out the surface. It will be as smooth as a whistle.

[@grantcole5177]

This helped a lot I like the creative way you do things!

[@HMBRSTN]

Confirmed my suspicion, I have no business doing this on my own. I will stick to air filters, oil changes, and if I’m feeling daring, swapping out a clutch. No way I’m trying this! Great video, though, really enjoyed it!!

[@idc.letsbikex853]

Dude once you do it the concept is really simple !!

[@mineer-pg5sv]

Idk why so many people act like this is rocket science honestly ​@@idc.letsbikex853

[@ridzwing927]

You got it man I’m about to try it for the first time aswell

[@MotoMarvmtb]

Awesome! Been waiting decades for you to do This one! Thank you, it was worth the wait....

[@yelverton85]

Always looking back too your videos great job man

[@Pizdzirynka1]

Me working on my bike “wears old T-shirt with holes and shorts with split crotch” You “wears under armour hoodie”

[@Kuhtlass]

More like shorts with holes in both knees and a big rip in the back door letting the sun shine in; have like 3 pair like that.

[@supercub177]

Very organized and informative content. I’m working on a project similar to your CR250. Mine is a 06 CRF450 supermoto. Only recently subbed but every search I ended up on your videos. Keep up the good work

[@rolandos64]

Good tip I saw on another video, is use old seal to press on onto new one

[@thefunkster7083]

Awesome video, thanks. We're going to try doing our own trackside

[@sm400xr]

Such a good tutorial

[@jacobreimche8730]

This is great to help me with my bike. All I need is to find the amount of fluid and the correct rebuild kit for my bike

[@benson4u215]

Dennis kirk has alot of great kits

[@angelosantaniello4113]

I like how you use common tools! Awesome

[@ryanerfurdt8705]

Another great video you are smart and a great teacher.

[@sethcarpenter6465]

Tyler monogan gave you a shout out

[@bravo20ghost27]

Another great video mate. Maybe a part 2, tuning and setup of the forks? Thanks bro

[@LookattheBiggerPic]

Much thanks for another excellent, informative video!

[@captainjohnh9405]

A better way to remove the damper bushing rather than buggering it up with a screw driver is to use circlip pliers. Initially a screwdriver or the like may be required to gain a bit more space to fit in the pliers. But once they are in, they will pry the ring open neatly since there won't be any sharp metal rubbing against the ring. Another option that is trickier and requires more hands is to use dental floss (especially the tape type). With a bit of fiddling, the floss can be worked inside the ring. Add a loop of floss to each side of the ring. If the split is 12 o'clock, the loops should be about 2 and 10; in some tougher jobs, adding a loop at 6 o'clock may be useful. Also, depending on how tight the ring is, several loops may be required to avoid breaking the floss. Remember, some of us have no choice but to reuse parts ;-)

[@2DclanSnipingTeam]

Great job Cam.

[@angelbeck4713]

Great job on explaining everything.

[@markbaldwin8013]

You really know what your doing, awesome man

[@Nisotovski]

Thanks for shearing. Great videos! I have start doing a lot of stuff on my bike watcing your videos. Thanks! 🙂

[@richardtschida2321]

Thanks Cameron

[@kdiopgh]

im new but liking it here

[@JohnPaulRios-sh1iq]

Hi I'm John Paul from Philippines and I love all of your videos. I have a 2015 RACAL 150 and was wondering if you have any ideas to restoration of this Chinese motorcycle enduro. ❤❤

[@ryanwojciechowicz1962]

Your videos are amazing and have helped me out so much and I am glad you are doing better hopefully many more videos to come thank you so much

[@erichildreth7562]

Great video!!! Very organized and detailed!!

[@bstadele]

nice, hopefully, some tool company can send you some tools, you do a great job explaining not everyone can or is good at that .

[@eugeniomartinmartin7404]

Wonderful job! Thanks for the video it will help me with my forks

[@andrew2366]

Man you look about 15!!! Love the videos keep up the great work. A fan from the UK :-)

[@scottgrant9582]

Great work buds !!

[@marcohutter4159]

Thanks a lot for this in depth video. Definately going to save me some money in the future

[@axelramos8461]

Hello Cameron !, I am a loyal follower of yours and a big fan of the restorations you do to motorcycles, I have a query about the fork shock absorber, I am changing the fork seal and when installing the fork cover assembly fork and adjust it, when I pump the shock absorber rod nothing returns and a part of the oil leaks through its two upper drainage holes, not if it is because of the O-rings and the Teflon bushings that it carries, I would infinitely appreciate if you can give me information about my case and that could be greetings!

[@astulbran673]

I like the way you work nice in clean..

[@JesusismyRedeemerandLord]

Really good explanation. Thank you.

[@mar_abruzzo]

Such a very good tutorial.... Thx

[@userndnend]

Your videos are always entertaining👍🏻

[@gijsschoonaard3994]

Pfff luckily you have a vid of this. Much needed

[@tylermilanese1894]

Everyone I've seen do this and the manual shows measuring from the top down. And if you buy the Stockton measure rod and syringe same you measure from top down are you doing something different on purpose? Just on the inner cartridge everything else is spot on I'm almost 99% positive inner cartridge should be pretty much completely full . Good video.

[@nickysstuntzest]

I need some help for changing only the lower leg on my kx 450f from 2016 i think this video have helped me a bit 👍🏽😅 hope for some other fork videos! 👌🏼

[@akullify]

I like your video..very details and easy to understand...can't you make some video how to paint light yellow at your absorber..

[@Thundercat68]

Very informative, might rebuild mine now. Feel free to drop by and help out😎

[@vistkri]

Cant wait to the next video man😍

[@Wheelie_]

Great channel Cameron 👍🔝

[@jason7531945]

it's very helpful for me,Thanks!

[@michaelrichard9689]

Do you have a video of how to take apart the whole fork. Don’t wanna make a mistake

[@lombardozarateiii6920]

Man i been wondering how to do this thanks for your much needed help

[@zmike9831]

damn nice video,i never seen the inside of my cr250s forks but one needs an oil seal,this gets me going in the right direction to fix it,thanks.

[@trustnuffin9121]

Any deep chips or scratches on the stainless fork tubing can be filled in using top quality epoxy filler.

[@polidiotpatriot3966]

Always best to video your work for reference.

[@BenMahoney]

Love seeing you upload 💚

[@reda185]

Great video. I have a question: what do you do if the damper is leaking? I have a 1994 RM 250 Suzuki and it seems that there is a seal somewhere inside but I don’t think it’s accessible do you have any suggestions?

[@jacko420oioi]

keep up the good work Cameron love the video's

[@wrmoore2]

why didn’t you put the final bushing of the first fork on first? wouldn’t that eliminate the need for the fork cap during the process? unless it is not flush with the fork itself....

[@mikem5475]

Actually genius
