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.

[@CameronNiemela]

Love to hear it! Thanks for watching!

[@Mikehoncho191]

I have a 01 cr125 and I’ve blown it up 5 times in the past four years and I barely even ride it

[@JustinHill-g5p]

@@Mikehoncho191you suck at building. Keep trying and don’t give up. Happens to the best of us wrenchers

Had a Honda Elsinore CR250 back in the 70's. Vicious little beast with a savage kickback.

Now back to my RM250 bike right Cameron ? 🤔😂🤣

[@Minicurry69420]

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😅

[@shart5619]

that thing is so clean it’s a crime to not have some black wheels on her

Great stuff! Thanks! 🚲

[@augieh6146]

Around 5:46 oh myyyy bro. So cool

[@johnaustin6673]

and now that you have pressure washed the pivot points on the swingarm and link... they have to be disassembled and greased.

Hey i see the link for the Grease gun, what actual grease are you using in it?

Bro could you print out some of those frame and engine guards for a 2007 yz450f?

Yes, I'll eventually have those available!

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

[@augieh6146]

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

[@ayothepizzahere1]

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

[@augieh6146]

@@ayothepizzahere1 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.

[@augieh6146]

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

[@aussiedigger1441]

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

[@gavinwhite8662]

Yeahh he’s backkk

[@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.

[@BostonBanshee]

Missed the uploads man happy your back hope you and the family are well 🤟🏼

[@fielding_s]

I love it ! That 125 is slick buddy.

[@lieutenantshovel9195]

Just watched the whole video, thing rips after sitting for so long, rock on 👍🏻

Hey Cameron how are you? Nice to see to are doing great! 😊 Keep on keepin on friend.

[@brentyancich]

I need to ride myself , the cr still looks great

[@nickchaproniere7573]

Your the nuts mate

[@interventional]

what a beautiful bike man god bless honda

[@freerfixedit]

So why did you opt for the lighter aluminum sprocket to save horsepower, but go with an x ring chain??? just curious

[@CameronNiemela]

The x ring chains last much longer than standard, and barely eat up any power. The ProX X ring chain is the same weight as most standard chains, and the friction difference is minimal. If you use a good x ring chain there is not much power loss

[@jaype331]

Wish I had a dirt bike parts store upstairs 😂

[@chihuahuaverde425]

Super fast shipping.

Now your linkage bearings is full of water..and after some months go rusty..don't use power washer to linkage.

[@lucasrodriguez5284]

@@KentRoads fr thats why i thought that

[@andrewmasonwerdna]

Man I'm so bumbed out, my bike went to a shop, an the guy like did nothing an charged me so much, bike doesn't idle, the throttle doesn't even go back it stays, so he cut the oem Japan grip and took it out after bump starting it, charged me for so many bolts that were on it already like... I'm at a loss for words he takes it out cause he said "it won't idle till its warm" but was at half way... He takes it out and there's coolant pissing all over the bike. Bike sounds worse then when I dropped it off, he said "I adjusted the valves" but doesn't show in the paper work. What do I do, I already paid the bill, the bikes just sitting at the shop like with new tires on it and pretty much nothing else was done.... Took it in for safety and the guy said it would be 2grand, now its 3800 for a fkn 2005 ninja 250....... Like do I moltov him?

Sick video Cameron, ibhave a crf125fb man id love the flywheel cover for both sides can you print me off some of i pay you??❤

[@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.

[@davidgarcia2491]

That looks a lot bigger than a 125. I really envy and admire people that can do this type of stuff.... wish I could

[@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 😂

[@brunosalema4096]

what year is the cr125?

[@Lee12695]

Minty... It's dialled in

[@cameronsienkiewicz6364]

Did you just say that your bike is “pretty much all original” lmao.. your bike is FAR from original.. almost every single part on your bike has been swapped out and upgraded lol

A bro i have a question I just got a 2003 cr125 the person I got it from gave me a VP gas tank all ready mixed I ask him if is normal 91 gas or VP gas and he got it the same way and never used it so I want to know is there any difference what gas ⛽️ to put on it see if you can point me in the right direction thanks

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!

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.
