What did I do to the engine covers?

[@ChiTuSai]

boyesen magnesium colour covers or scotch brite the oem ones, also a magnesium colour cerakote will look awesome, since you 've also other parts

[@vq37vhr12]

Bronze cerakote

boyesen!!

Cameron Niemela QUIT TEASING US!!!!!

[@alvarowanda]

I'm glad you show the mistakes. Great series.

[@interstellaraxeman4468]

I think,...in a good way,...that you just MIGHT be showing the mistakes by doing them that way in the first place as an educational tactic,.... I Like It!! Either way,... All your videos are great and very enlighting even for longtime mechanically inclined people like myself, who are willing to keep learning. Thanks Cameron,.. I appreciate this stuff...

[@BBMetalKing]

Yes! Love the honesty here!

[@hobidolap]

what kind of geniuses are these people who design transmissions. same for the people who take them apart and put them together. kudos brother...

[@danielseibert4082]

babur.karaoglu so true xD

[@nonya8694]

It's not genius anyone can do it with a little patience.

[@chriscs9080]

@@nonya8694 yeap.. you can look at the diagrams and put everything together .

[@Shoorit]

I always think about things like that when looking at stuff. Like rocket engines are so complicated but someone designed it.. I think it’s a series of improvements from a simple initial design over a long period of time and we’re looking at the finished product amazed how someone thought of it all. Engineering is amazing to me.

[@gmx0413]

@@chriscs9080 I think of it like legos

[@GasGasRider619]

I am so glad you misplaced that washer. I have been putting off throwing my 98 cr250 motor in for months now because i just couldnt figure out what was wrong. Just so happens it was having the same symptoms and now its only gonna cost $2 and a few days waiting to get it all back together. Really appreciate the Quality vids. Keep em coming brother!

[@chriscs9080]

Why u did not just check the parts diagram?

[@GasGasRider619]

@@chriscs9080 I still haven't split the cases again to make sure. Just had the same symptoms he did. One day I'll crack it open again and fix it

[@danda_77]

@@chriscs9080 Cameron checked the diagram and even then didn't realize tahat there is a missing part, so probably its not so easy even with part diagram

[@harryedwards9391]

Why not just put the washer in instead of throwing it in

[@sharpimaging923]

I am glad you included your mistakes in the videos showing that its all a learning process and showing how you discovered your mistakes

[@flappyandrew]

Not only is this super entertaining it’s also cool to see how these engines work!

[@Wooley689]

This series of videos has been top notch. You move along at a good pace and explain it all perfectly.

[@b_mb4948]

This is definitely my favorite bit of the 250 rebuild series to date *:)*

[@bricehale6593]

Dude your the best dirt bike mechanic I've ever seen you keep it 100 your work is clean this is why you don't take your bike to a shop it won't be done as nice as this

[@BBMetalKing]

I just want to say hello Mr. Niemela. I have subscribed to you for about 2 weeks now and I am watching at least 1 of your videos daily. First of all, congratulations on beating Leukemia. That is admirable, impressive, and should let everyone know that the way to live is through a never give up inspirational attitude. The second thing I appreciate from your videos is how thorough you are with your engine rebuilds. I find them fantastic and enjoyable to watch as a wannabe dirt bike motorhead mechanic myself. I wish I had your chops pulling apart and putting bikes together with relative ease. Just by watching your videos, I can see how you visualize how each part connects with the other. That simply can't be taught and that is a gift that you possess. That's what I wish I had...the ability to visualize that bike apart and put back together. Please keep making those rebuild videos. Film and record as if you are the teacher and we are the students. One of these days....maybe in retirement...I can do 50% of what you can do. Well done. I noticed your clothing line is doing very well! Kudos to that. I was ready to drop a few dollars and noticed many sizes are gone. That is good business! Congrats.

[@charliem5332]

I’ve never worked on an engine and hardly any mechanics but I love watching these videos. Your step by steps and explanations are excellent. I’m learning so much about how my motorbike works. Thank you Cameron. You are a top man.

[@benbawden3348]

Really informative, I especially liked the fact you showed where you made mistakes rather than just skip that part of the video. Thank you!!

[@yvbeers3709]

Upload more often your vids are Amazing!

[@AndrewJohnClive]

Damn fine job! I can’t imagine there are many bikes on this planet put together with so much love.

[@Gatorinnola]

Quite possibly the best video on the internet. Exactly what I need to reassemble my CR. Excellent camera work, narration, everything just spot on. Thank you.

[@TheToycloser]

Cameron, thank you for not editing out your mistakes. It's a relief to know I'm not the only one that sometimes needs to backtrack to get something right.

[@brandonnicol2422]

I wish you could do this with all motors this is so in depth and so helpful for anyone rebuilding a cr-250

[@dennisgarryowen8885]

This is the best Service/repair video that I have seen on youtube. I am subscribed and glad that I found your channel.

[@Alexandre-fk5pj]

Congratulations friend for the beautiful work on the bikes.

[@thatcutndude1]

Man i love watching your videos even I'm past this stage of wondering what your doing... I just love your cleaning process everything looks brand new...i will clean most of my projects mainly the inside .. but damn you can really bring a bike back from the dead...i love it...keep them coming...I'm learning a lot...thanks

[@peytonpastorino5378]

Just wanted to say thank you for making a good quality and detailed video! Helped a lot when I rebuilt mine. Appreciate you!

[@ckh420]

This video series has inspired me to rebuild my 01 myself, thank you Cameron

[@beege4481]

Just rebuilt a '97 cr250, went through everything. Checked all measurement of every part (yeah every part). Transmission had 3 missing washers which is rediculous how the previous person who rebuilt it just let it by like that. I am glad that every thorough check I did has paid off. Just those simple washer can lead to disaster.

[@lancairw867]

I like how you show how to order parts. It is a learning process and need to double check which actual part is needed for the build. I know because I have ordered the wrong one or not all the parts needed 😬

[@maxmustermann4047]

This engine will run soo smooth love your videos

[@c3147897]

The only video series I look out for

[@Thundercat68]

Got to say it, one of you best videos yet! I appreciate how clean your work area and equipment is in the video. So many times I’ll watch “ others” videos and everything’s a mess. Hate that. Nice work!

[@luislozada8305]

Can't wait to see the bike running

[@hunterellsworth7321]

Yes dude! This bike is going to turn out sick

[@cccccc5398]

Another great illustration of GREAT mechanic work. Thanks

[@tymotoboy53]

Hey cameron, so I just replaced my customer’s clutch with the motion pro inner hub tool, and that thing BROKE the inner hub. I had to pay money out of my own pocket to buy them a new inner hub. I’m sure the tusk tool is fine but the motion pro tool sucks so bad and it was extremely sharp like a knife and cut through the hub. I recommend just putting on the clutch/friction plates after the inner hub, and then tighten the inner hub while jamming the clutch gear and crank pinion gear with a towel to keep them from rotating. Doesn’t look as pretty but I think a soft towel is much safer than sharp steel on aluminum. Lesson learned. Thanks for the video man!

[@Simppi96]

Love the videos, Cameron! SOO GLAD you showed Rocky Mountain MC's blueprint-database. I am rebuilding the transmission on my 1993 KX250 and it's been invaluable. Greetings from Finland :D

[@jt8251]

1:40 is exactly what I came here for. How to test neutral with the cases split. Bravo.

[@tndeere]

Most Excellent work.I believe that's the best engine assembly video I have ever seen.

[@feedrate1]

Love you videos bro thanks for not editing the little mistakes !!!

[@331moto]

I was told to stagger each plate by one notch. The reason was that it moves the oil around better. And also told that the notches are there from the manufacturing process and it makes absolutely no difference how they are aligned.

[@Choccybred]

Awesome job mate, been watching for a while an have been here to see all the CR 250 teardown and rebuild vids. 👍🏽

Hi Cameron, it seems so easy to do mechanic when watching your videos. I enjoy watching your footages, it reminds me when I was doing meccanos toys. But everything which seems that easy needs a lot of practice! congrats for the videos, really interesting

Great video, very informative. Love the ending clips, sounded just like me in the garage, LOL.

adjusting the TDC made the kick-start tougher harder to kick at the beginning and that's how I ate through my kick-start it started right up first kick

[@tomnekuda925]

Cameron - You do a terrific job putting these engines together. I, too, like to assemble my own.....then I pretty sure that it is done correctly. A lot of times I do it without a diagram but I won't do it anymore. You've certainly convinced me that using the diagrams makes it a lot easier. Clean and careful.....Quality is JOB 1! Ha! Stole that from FoMoCo.

[@hfd35]

Ha. Loved the bloopers. Hey have you ever thought about doing a detailed video on the front shocks (leaky seals or general maintenance)...I run a Honda 2012 crf 250r so I’m loving all this knowledge bud. Thanks for all the hard work.

[@mijailfernandezr.5924]

What a great job man! You're the best!

good vid ! I like that you showed your screw ups.. Makes you real . Great detail for everything

[@quentinrance8974]

Great demo Cameron, the devil is always in the details. Thanks for sharing this.

[@jamesal0]

Cam - I know you love to pull every last nut and bolt apart. But your'e making a rod for you own back. Example pull the clutch as an assembly - put a cable tie through every thing and put it aside until reassembly. The same goes for two gear shafts, the moment you split the cases - cable ties around bearing ends so the washers and gears cant drop off. Don't pull the gear shift detent apart - keep it as an assembly and so on.

[@nicktrecker6403]

This bike would look so sick with all the modified stuff but still maintaining oem graphics and seat cover.

[@adisyamadasa4238]

Thank you for the videos, I'm no longer afraid to split my case as much as I used to. (And I have to). Very detailed video

[@garyurban1429]

I'm new to your channel and am so amazed at how well you explain your builds. I'm looking into rebuilding my own cr500 motors for my outlaw wing karts. Lots of good tips and ideas you give. Keep up the good work. Would like to see more rebuilds on the cr500 altho I'm sure the 250's are comparable. Thanks again for your knowledge 👍

hey pal, great work, but just for the sake of knowing,from one tech to the other they say its easier to slide the clutch steals on with the rounded edge in to prevent the sharp edge from possibly putting a burs in the hub .. as if some one is gonna beat them in crooked with there favorite B.F.H.. lol..
