I am an old timer who grew up in the old days of motorcross, none of this single shock and fancy fork stuff. My dad never offered to even try to fix my dirtbike. So I did my best. Being 13 yrs old and riding a yamaha 1974 mx 250. It started all the time and never gave me grief until I blew the rear shock seals. I never had the money to set up a shop like what is in this video. So I sold the bike and had big dream to buy a RM Suzuki with the laid down shocks. They sounded and were awesome bikes but I never managed to get that bike. I only drewl at how well this young man fixes up bikes and brings them back to life so someone gets to enjoy them I hope some young person can buy a great running bike and not have to pay a fortune. Kudos to this man and keep doing what you do

[@DevezaKarlLeighann]

still not too late sir. you got this goodluck

[@robbiejensen6161]

shes a beaut I like how you don't blow 10,000$ and do a budget build for the best possible results. Thats why your one of my favorite youtubers.

The last bike I raced was the last national I qualified at Loretta Lynn's in 1998 aboard my Team F&S Suzuki. It brings tears to my eyes to see you build such a beautiful bike that was abused so many years.

[@yamahondazuki95]

Just a quick video idea if your interested. I'd love to see a "Tips and tricks" video when working in these bikes. I just watched this whole series and I see you have a few tricks up your sleeve. Some examples are the locking forceps on the carb spring/cables. The rag in the chain when tightening I'm assuming? I'd love to have some more detail on that and I'm sure others would agree! Great series man!

Are you kidding me, man!!?? Less than $2300, you built that gem? I have a 2004 Honda Cr 125 that’s in decent shape, but probably have to do a top end, rejet my bike, back brake work, stuff like that. I haven’t signed up for Cam’s contest, but you are really inspiring with this build, maybe I should! I don’t think your bike is going to be one of the finalists though... I think you’re gonna win!! Amazing job! ✌️🤘

[@TheJimmysGarage]

Question about the fork coating, so factory forks usually come with "hard coating" or hard anodizing, this is to reduce friction and stop the wear of soft aluminum inside the tube. Is that coating a hard coating? Will that coating cause the fork oil to muddy? I know when I have a set of KYB that come off a very old bike you can shine a flashlight inside the fork tube and see a shiny spot where the hard coating has been worn through. Once the forks are like this the oil muddies very quickly. When there is a solid fresh hard coat you can change your fork oil and it comes out clear every time.

[@motodenton]

Great video man. I’m sure you sold it a long time ago but man in todays market that’s probably a $4k- $5 bike. I just did a full build on a 2009 yz250f I wish I would have made a video

[@landonspringer8199]

nice work man. I think it would look a bit better if the sub frame was yellow too, but it still looks sick
