Tell me your bent radiator stories. We all have at least one😂

[@brentancoates4421]

Head on with a tree at 80kmh, think that’s like 40mph, snapped triple clamps was the worst part broken 🤣

[@maxbarrett5973]

On my rm85 enduro riding, up a rock face bike fell down caught over 4 metres worth of air and fell straight on a flat rock, split the shroud and squashed the radiator, craziest thing was that it never leaked and I only jsut replaced it, used for 4 years after that

[@NOTTApro142]

It wasn’t me but it was a freind I was with, we were playing around in the woods and he started getting roost when he hit a corner way too fast and lost control, hit a rut and flew straight into a tree. And a broken branch right next to it miraculously smashed through his left radiator. He got up when we got to him and we just saw his bike dumping coolant all over the ground. He was able to ride it back but it had some heat damage.

[@joshuaconnor9712]

Fella fell off infront of me and i ran his bike over, smashed the rad and my plastics up, bent the brace in half, smashed rad, twisted it, broke fins off, over 400 quid of damage😂

[@DirtDragger36]

I t-boned a unmanned kx500 drag racing

[@cbadnc9040]

Damn I missed your videos! You set the standard! Glad you are healthy!!!!!!

[@CameronNiemela]

I appreciate that man!! Thank you

[@kevinray3240]

I've had a few hang ups locating replacement radiators for my 01 RM. I ordered a billet set and the mounting holes definetely didn't work....then I watched some fix-it vids and decided to try JB Weld on a small leak; it held pressure but looked a little bush-wacked for my restored bike....I finally ordered a second set of billet ones from a different supplier and they worked/looked pretty trick! Radiators and the little clip nuts at the bottom for the plastic shrouds are the cheesiest parts on this bike, with a close second belonging to the CDI mount inside the air box, thord has to be either the original wrap-under front brake cabke o r the seat bolts that rarely line up without pressure one direction or another. Over all these RMs are amazing bikes that handle fantastic! So glad you've been healthy and taken time to shape up your new shop -- Keep up the great work, partner !

[@jondavidmcnabb]

I absolutely love the fact that you take a discarded item that most people would write off (ie trash). Then, you take it and make it functional and show all your steps.

[@phatheadracingmx]

Laser cut is fancy 😮 nice work on those rads and braces

[@CameronNiemela]

Thanks my friend! Really enjoyed this one!

[@dylanswicegood471]

Glad to hear you’re healthy and sell! Hope the wife and kiddo are too! I was not at all expecting the radiator abuse at the end 😂😂 love it.

[@jake.debnam24]

Great to see some content! Been stuck watching your brothers! It would be cool to see the three of you work on a project.

[@erikeggenbakstad]

Radiator stories? Okay, my radiator start leaking after a crash in training. So straightened it out and epoxy glued the leak. Baked it the oven after the glue had partially set. Had a race next day and this was a Saturday. Long before Internet and courier service delivering express to your door next day (Eighties). So, The radiator never leaked again :) This was an RM125 - 85. Bought brand new for about $1600with today's value. (I think I have one picture of it on my IG with the same name as in my YT) I am 57 now and still ride, enduro bikes, to old for MX hehe. Thanks for the upload and happy that your medical is all good! Greetings from Norway!

[@kevindwyer3742]

[@H2HB2B]

It’s good to see you still have some kid in you! When I saw that plug shoot out, I immediately thought it would be fun to see how far you can make it shoot, and you did not disappoint. Real men never truly grow up! Or at least I know for sure I haven’t grown up. My wife tells me all the time that I’m her biggest kid lol. Have fun, stay young!

[@CameronNiemela]

[@JaquenHauf]

Glad to hear you’re doing well and the leukemia hasn’t come back, brother I want to thank you for the book recommendations you gave me back in 2019 that helped my sister fight AML. It’s been 3 years since I was her stem cell donor and she followed those books you recommended, all of her check ups have came out great. Wish you the best, and once again thank you for your help.

[@superdave4725]

[@Mr.frag-out]

I'm glad to see you're doing well, my friend. God bless you and your family.

[@danmeifert2469]

Nice work, fun ending! Pretty deluxe that we can buy drilled washers & not have to sit at the drill press for hours.

[@JR-Rollin]

Great video, first time iver ever seen radiator needlenose pliers, definitely getting a set. Thx!! Also the blue square thingy is actually called a square or carpenter's square. 😁

[@pete7971]

I'm glad you're looking good. I've been watching your videos for some time and I learned a lot. The videos keep getting even better. I couldn't stop laughing at the end. It's great to put some humor into it. Great job!

[@CameronNiemela]

Happy you enjoyed it! Thanks for supporting the channel, means the world!

[@nicks2wheelchannel920]

That was awsome. It was cool to see you testing the braces with a sledge hammer and they held up well. Just proof from all the products i purchased from you due to quality and great customer service i see a potential purchase for those braces in the future for a yz 250 woods bike build

[@vicgeier3482]

Missed you!

[@Crosbie85]

I hope the algorithm grabs this one as well

[@uproblylikedingus]

Glad to hear your about your good health, been missing the videos!

[@CameronNiemela]

Thank you!

[@michaelallen9784]

So glad you are healthy. Great to see you again!

[@69strokefasterthanyourmum]

Whistlin diesel vibes at the end of the video lol.🤣

[@ravioli9728]

Glad all is well. I love the video where you guys are beating the piss out of the radiator.

[@martinbone2889]

Техническая часть очень хорошо!!!ЛАЙК!!!

[@Owen_the_gasgas_kid]

That thing is looking so good keep up the good work man🤘

[@CameronNiemela]

Thanks Owen!

[@richardbartlett4075]

I was surprised at how much that radiator could be twisted and still held. I’ve never attempted to correct a radiator. I’ve straightened fork tubes - a tedious job on a press. Thanks for the interesting and helpful video!

[@kareemowheat4107]

So glad to see you buddy!

[@donsimpson1976]

good to see you back at it man and its called a framing square Cam

[@Crosbie85]

Yesssss new rebuild vid

[@motogod1262]

I was mildly entertained by the therapy session until you pulled it behind the ranger....that was some funny shit right there!

[@zardportugal]

Top job.

[@rexstonbull250]

[@maxcheerio6837]

Coolest brothers ever! Took me a while to realize but I have a jdm car, toyota truck, and a cr125. Which happens to be the things y'all specialize in lol. Keep it up!

[@damarapoledna3636]

Great to hear about your good health 😀

[@CameronNiemela]

Thanks Damara!

[@pitbullgamer8116]

Dry ice blasting is the best for cleaning rads

[@josephforcino6399]

I use small zip ties threw the fins to straighten cooling fins out.

[@6.7Rollin]

you have the cabinet for it , you should convert it to vapor blasting!

[@stephencrisson3595]

I'm happy you're doing better man you're looking good too 🙏💪‼️

[@chasehicks9757]

Awesome 🤘

[@HerosMountain]

あなたの動画を楽しみに待っていました。体調が良くて嬉しいです。また次の動画を楽しみにしています。ゆっくり休んで下さい。

[@richardarnaud970]

Good to hear that 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@matthewmoilanen787]

Cam the reason that the CDC is placed in the air box is so it doesn't get splashed with water. Of course they are sealed but the connectors are a possible trouble spot.

[@dannychiappa7731]

Hey cam, you should make a 2nd placetrophy for a consolation prize out of that radiator. 😂😂😂

[@willistjohnson2543]

Nice jokes I enjoyed it ! That radiator didn’t have a chance 🤫😂

[@bobbylight4262]

My 07 yz 125 won’t shift past 3rd gear. Any idea what it is before I tear it apart?

[@larryb2967]

How do you repair a half crushed radiator inlet or outlet tube on a dirt bike.

[@lukedixon3371]

Hi Cameron. I have an 05 RM 250 2st. I replaced the inner clutch hub and clutch basket. Gears worked fine. Started the bike to go for a ride and no gears. You put it in 1st let the clutch out and nothing it’s like the bike is in neutral. What can I check?

[@tcrides2137]

Well buddy, I will be anxious to see you go for a rip on the RM!! Long time coming. Then you will build something else awesome maybe for your kid?

[@akajk2310]

thanks you so much for video

[@sarahgonzales5564]

Praise God brother! Healed and whole. Wish all the radiations from these rippas weren't all bent🤣 The kiddo's love bending them up!

[@damarapoledna3636]

"Blue square thing" is a framing square😎

[@BubbaX]

Some of that Cuban mechanics

[@arlo12345678910]

We're right here with you brother.. rollin through the punches righ here with you brother. YOU DO YOU we'll be here WHENEVER you can upload! We love you brother and appreciate all you have done for our sport. Stay healthy and happy that's the most important thing. We'll watch all your content because it's the BEST! love your show buddy! PS. my radiator story is I was navigating a steep down hill and some rocks tripped me up. Thats when I dropped my 2016 CRF 450R on some rocks and folded my radiator. Luckily I was always watching your vids and I came across the one where you show us how to straighten up a radiator with soem 2x4's. Worked like a dream.

[@mohamadjerade7660]

More videoss pleasee❤❤

[@CameronNiemela]

[@Spencer1609751]

Do you have a link for the Radiator pilers?

[@damienaitcheson9732]

Awesome content champion huge fan of all your videos 😊

[@davidaldrich3488]

welcome back...way to much fun

[@HooligansMx]

I learned that in some cases heat does help as well

[@damarapoledna3636]

Sometimes the vehicle designers build things to bend rather than break (themselves or attachments)

[@nwmotogarage]

What is a must for a shop owner to take care of your health when it comes to chemicals and exhaust?

[@CameronNiemela]

There's no way to avoid it all, but use a good clean respirator around fumes and gloves at all times when working with any grease or chemicals. I'd say the most important thing for me has been detox. Sweating will get the garbage out and keep you clean. Saunas are a game changer

[@coloradodirtbike5930]

Now that radiator is ready for ebay, and priced at almost the cost of a brand new oem one. 😊

[@officialmysteriousrider130]

On your hydraulic press cam fit a quick release plastic nob on the pressure release part it's so much easier than useing the metal bar that comes with it & use caster wheels to take out the side slopp Lol 😂

[@StandlyRichards25]

Nice video man! Can you make those engine case stickers for other bikes? I have a few bikes that could use it. 95cr250, 17kx450f, 20kx250 and a 16xcf350

[@rwcasto]

Glad you are doing good Cam! I hope I win this bad boy!
