[@southtxjeepin7191]

I loved the comment "It's sort of a two for one thing. You get a nice new piston, and that's $500 less dollars you have to worry about"!! Man, awesome talent in the shop, with a mix of all natural sarcasm commentary! Awesome vids buddy, thank you, and please keep them coming!

[@Knights2theEnd]

I'd buy your te250 without thinking twice.

[@jenniesgarage]

thanks!

[@johnleu3217]

Jennies Garage I’ll give you $6000 cash

[@dylan-jl5rx]

250te buy 50000 cash

[@ogzachmoore1305]

I was about to go to bed then I realized that you posted a video. your my favorite "youtuber" and not becuase of the videos you make. its becuase of your unique sense of humor. keep up the great vids

[@TheInja]

You pretty much posted the comment I was just typing, so I'll leave it at this. haha

[@jenniesgarage]

Thanks for staying up late, I really need a faster internet connection, it took almost 6 hours to upload

[@LtCatfish]

Jennies Garage I can’t even upload a 2 minute vid

[@lehti95]

You're*

[@pizzamanyoutubewatcherofal3947]

You can't watch one you gotta watch the whole series nice job Jennies Garage

[@SeanGilmore92]

This has to be one of the best rebuild series I've ever seen, in the history of history!

[@cohall46]

Excellent series. Visually entertaining with great commentary. Lots of technical information and shortcuts. Thanks for taking the time and making the effort in post production to present a very enjoyable bike rebuild journey.

[@CriticalThinker08]

Totally sick dual purpose bike bud, and meticulous re~build. I've only ridden a few times since my teens so it's been almost 30 years since I owned my last quad, a Yamaha Warrior 350. Just from watching your channel, I've been inspired to clean & organize my home shop and also getting ready for a project myself. I'm disabled now but I can still do many things, just slower & more carefully. I really enjoy your sense of humor & attention to detail and must say all the videos of yours I've watched so far have been very entertaining. The recent generator score was awesome! Anyway, just wanted to say hello & I'm looking forward to learning more from your videos. Thanks

[@TheVeteranNewb]

get back out there man, keep at it you can do great things.

[@mrc1539]

Nice ride, we used to break in race engines by bringing them up to operating temp then shut them down and let them cool . After several cycles of this we never had any problems. It was explained to me that all the different materials in an engine expand and contract at different rates with heat until they take a "set". Made sense and seemed to work. Congratulations on your build, nice job.

[@tekilated]

Great video, thank you. I am working on a CR80 rigjht now and this has given me the extra umph i needed.

[@vicmanjw]

Excellent work, went through whole bike and got rid of the issues for sure! Upgrade on the cylinder is awesome too

[@TheDrunkardHu]

Your respect for the repairs you do and the people that may end up repairing them in the future is refreshing! Thanks for sharing!

[@cjcruz7965]

I fully rebuilt an 06 Husky 510 to a 530 after dropping a valve. Thanks for bringing back memories of one of my favorite bikes. I enjoyed watching you do it way more and it was also less expensive that way 😂

[@HDeverythingSD]

Just got done watching your entire series in 2x speed. Thank you for these videos. You and your wife are great personalities.

[@hitmen1211]

I flipped out when I got the notification for this video 😀😀

[@jenniesgarage]

Thanks, hope you enjoyed it!

[@gavinhill4121]

OK, I've been watching your videos for a few weeks now and after spending an evening watching this 250/300 series - I've subscribed. Great content, enthusiastically delivered. Nice work Dude.

[@TheInja]

Man, I had been waiting to see it run since you posted the last video! Great build!

[@jenniesgarage]

sorry it took so long!

[@FormulatedButterCoping]

It was fun to watch all the videos on this. It seems like you spent a lot of time on the front fender but hey, being a perfectionist means you now have a perfect bike. Great videos!!!

[@25wasthespeedlimit40]

I started watching part 1 not knowing there would be 7 parts. Really glad there was though. This is done so well. The $200 Kawasaki Dirt Bike Project was the first of J.G. I'd seen and it was brilliant. So really appreciate that you've made all those playlists cos I can go through all the bike stuff first.

[@delusional_optimist]

wooo hooo wife watched this I got the go ahead to keep buying and doing up bikes, love your channel all the way from australia, your a bloody ledgend mate!' :-)

[@jenniesgarage]

So glad I could help now go buy some junk!

[@unibrow9]

Loved your work in Fight Club and American History X... great stuff!

[@mitchellbaxter5189]

Dandi Fra lol

[@jenniesgarage]

You're too kind, and thanks for not mentioning death to smoochy

[@Thaldrion]

You dont even mentioned Walking Dead? Rick is awesome :D

[@mmoplayerful1]

Congratulations on finishing the build!! Amazing bike and is probably very fast! A 300 would probably be the only four stroke I'd ever own.

[@jackfntwist]

Tuned in just for the shorts. Not entirely disappointed.

[@keithr2969]

Great job, really enjoyed your enthusiasm and all of the insights you pointed out along the way such as the detective work and what I can also look for in a used/abused second-hand purchase.

[@don7406]

What a sweet bike. Congrats on the flawless startup.

[@Iseekoutthetruth]

a great video before bed, looks and sounds great.

[@jenniesgarage]

Thank you sir, I'll try to get a ride video up soon.

[@justsomebody8461]

Glad to see it ran well!!! Now we need more of these videos !!

[@21turbo73]

Great build series, couldn’t stop watching!

[@Wendigotheworst]

A youtuber that actually responds to comments, wow

[@joer8854]

That worked out quite well for you. Glad to hear it although I think the pride in workmanship and knowing your vehicle in a way most don't understand is worth so much more. Enjoy the bike my friend. I'm glad as a new subscriber I chose to go back and watch it.

[@coreyholt7406]

Excited to see up and running! The wheelie was a nice touch!

[@jenniesgarage]

there should be more to come too

[@reignorshine.]

looks great man! looked like an afterbirth when you brought it in ,hats off to ya

[@SavaSix]

I saw a notification for this vid and freaked out. Couldn't wait to see all that hard work pay off. The bike looks immaculate because you put all that extra time into it. No half assing here!!

[@jenniesgarage]

Thanks, I was determined to not cheap out on this one!

[@pbkid6667]

Glad to see it's all back together and running. Now go enjoy it!

[@Jrude-xl8vv]

I enjoy watching your videos. Keep them coming.

[@Ubeure]

Congrats for all the hard work !

[@jasminejenkinson337]

Thank you for all your video's I've learnt so much watching them. Keep up the great work

[@jenniesgarage]

Glad you enjoy them, thank you.

[@peterr2077]

I just got done watching a couple of your series. I'd like to know if you live near the Nebraska panhandle, but understand if you want to keep your location a secret. I also have a few old projects that I would love to get going like you do. You are doing a great job. I love that your family helps you out. God bless you. Keep fixing that junk!

[@Jander406]

that's a sick bike! I love the simplicity

[@KeepinYouUp07]

Spectacular job on the bike. Thanks for the video.

[@DillysADV]

WELL DONE. I love that sigh of relief. My bike is not too far behind so we will see if I can get the same reaction.. (The celebratory wheelie was nice too!)

[@jenniesgarage]

It's a great feeling, and you'll get it too! I was really nervous doing the video but it was a rush of relief when I got back in the garage after the ride and saw the clear exhaust and smooth idle.

[@vallewigert1770]

Great video series, i hope we get to see some riding as well.

[@mikesimon9529]

That was fun to watch the whole husky build that was nice hope it runs good for you

[@GaryLordsWayMinistry]

Also I use marvel mystery oil when assembling a new engine and valve train so I do not have to worry about scorching anything before oil pressure gets started.

[@jwspowerdog]

congratulations ,you deserve much credit

[@joshbell4433]

Love all your videos man keep it up I checked your channel daily for the next video, Nice to know that you don't have to be a teenager to run a successful KZbin channel keep grinding man

[@jenniesgarage]

yeah It's a tough life tryin to keep up with these youngsters

[@joshbell4433]

Jennies Garage truly do love your bike restorations though keep it up

[@joshbell4433]

Can you bring a new meaning to "A job worth doing is worth doing right"

[@davyboycolon530]

you got some talent my friend great job on the bike

[@j.m.valsan6563]

Lo felicito, fué un gran trabajo!. Pronto vendrá la recompensa!

[@sidecarbod1441]

Nice vid, you've done a good job on that bike!

[@rfelectrons]

Ouch, I can't believe that Jennie was giggling at the first start/clutch dump/stall. OK, yes, I can believe it. It was highly anti-climatic. Congratulations on another excellent build. Keep the vids coming and we'll keep watching. Thanks for tubin'. Randall

[@jenniesgarage]

I didn't even know what I was doing putting it in gear there!

[@tdfguy2002]

I'm nervous too....nervous about seeing the final videos of the 1973 Shasta restoration :)

[@5.0h_derek]

That was a dope wheelie

[@bobbilljim01]

Coming late to the party. Watched the whole series and loved it. Couple quick questions, heli-coil on the stripped out bits would seem like a better option to me unless i could learn something here... Stickers, I have good luck with heating them up really good, then apply a little pressure to the corner and when it cools to just the right temp the whole thing peels adhesive and all. I also live in az so in the summer i just put the parts outside for an hour then peel in the shade. It takes practice but greatly reduces the amount of acetone afterwards. Well done though!! Cheers!

[@kimbarker9651]

Awesome series

[@shartne]

It turned out real nice good for you.

[@Luciferms09]

This man is totally awesome watched the whole seriers man I swear your like a tv show, just promise one thing

[@Luciferms09]

Dont stop making these videos in addicted to them!!!!

[@garyjeffery9574]

Great videos mate.

[@gmcjetpilot]

Just found your channel and spent over an hour watching.... Does your wife have a single older sister with the same temperment? You are great, you wife is great and videos are fantastic... thanks for the education and laiughs

[@shalomfamily4541]

Freaking awesome man!!!!!!!! all i need is your set of special abilities... and a project... hahaha (including the patience) keep on going. i love your videos!! you are great!!!!

[@iddddaduncan]

The only problem is it's not a 2stroke!

[@mitchellking3861]

Awesome project loved the video id buy it too that bike is sweet

[@scott907]

Awesome! Great work!

[@WS6xMASTER]

The smoke isn't even from the rings not sealing. when you rebuild a motor there will always be oil that isn't even residual. you may not even see it or even wipe it off.

[@jenniesgarage]

Good point I put on a lot of gear oil and grease throughout the assembly so it could have been that burning off.

[@skyb8687]

@@jenniesgarage definitely no big deal

[@MURDOCK1500]

I've just binge watched this build series and really enjoyed it. The bike looks great and runs well too. I can't believe what the ham fisted previous owners did to it though. Brutal.....

[@backwoodsriders1879]

Dang get it! Best way to break in is hard to put pressure on the rings to seat them.

[@texsurfer]

don't be afraid of a hard break-in. put it under load and keep the RPM's varied.

[@HorsepowerGarageVideos]

Finally a smart comment on engine break in, that's how I was always told to break in an engine and it hasn't failed me yet.

[@rujalshrestha7443]

can someone elaborate "put it under load" please.

[@typgamer]

@@rujalshrestha7443 Actually driving it and puting it in higher gears instead of reving it in neutral or letting it idle...

[@stephencresswell4760]

Do you think those 1500 miles are genuine? It seems to have had a lot of ‘work’ done in such a short period of time.

[@evelinaflores6343]

Job well done sir!

[@tylerthomas7116]

Dude that is a beauty. Great job man. your quality and know how is 1 of a kind. You should do a bike give away. Id even buy that bike from you. I wish I knew what I was doing because you make it look like a lot of fun.

[@fangyaohuang6211]

Great work

[@Wythegoodsense]

enjoyed the project, thanks.

[@denouden92]

Great series! You have to do this again at some point. Especially after the kawasaki video you recently posted, I think this is your time!

[@GeorgeENorkus]

Information from an old fart motorcyclist that can help in future restoration projects. A simple thing about the smoking you noticed while doing some wheelies. The past owner(s) had some mental problems and the engine did burn oil. Some of the oil did not totally burn and was thrown out into the pipe where it collected. You as you warmed up the engine, it started to get the exhaust pipe hot. When it got hot enough to burn the old oil, it did. I'll bet the longer you ran the engine the hot pipe was able to clean itself out and the oily residue. A good longer run and I'll bet it stopped smoking.

[@mulligan4207]

I just brought a te250 it's a good thing

[@gameplayweekend6295]

Me doing hw. YT: New Suggestions. Me: Oh a 6 part series!

[@andyroo3022]

Nice job, on your bike. I just purchased a used 2009 TE310. My bike has been well looked after and serviced regularly. Hopefully I wont' have any major mechanical work for a while. I am thinking of getting a set of black plastics, there are some very nice decal kits out there for this Husqvarna model.

[@tylerpierce6522]

Will you make video of how to pop a wheelie

[@mattf49006]

best part was Jennie laughing when you let the clutch go in gear...lol

[@urmommaahugehoe]

when I saw the thumbnail I was like "oh crap what did he do to cause a fire" lol

[@jenniesgarage]

haha sorry about that maybe I should change it to "fire in the hole" thanks for checking out the video.

[@CRIBBSSTUD]

stoked when i got the notification lol

[@haydenfrench7878]

was so happy when this video came out! does it sound a little rattley to you? may just be the videos audio

[@atvman09alec]

Your videos are awesome lol

thanks, I appreciate it

You never mentioned what happened with the kickstarter.

[@that1guycasper187]

I love the videos OMG

[@markkus1134]

I thought about picking up a 2008 with 1300 miles on it but parts are really hard to come by so I’ll stick with my 2008 WR 250

[@curiosity2314]

Nice work..

[@jenniesgarage]

thank you!

[@brianrhinohart4918]

High vac pulls by engine breaking and variable rpm is the best way to get rings to seat on any motor.

[@kravmaga6733]

that's so cool keep up

[@rushiiiop]

gratz !

[@Snitchy1989]

awesome.. nice work... is it me, or just the way the mic picked up the bike sounds? Or is that engine really rattly? Can hear the engine more than you can the exhaust when you rev..

[@joshbell4433]

Snitchy1989 my uncles 450 did the same thing after rebuild it eventually went away we had a mechanic

[@jenniesgarage]

I think some of it is the mic, but yes she's kind of a a rattler. Lots quieter than before though.

[@Snitchy1989]

ahh, but still.. Done a beautiful job on her buddy :)

[@TRX450RVlogger]

Believe it or not, do not break it in "Easily" you actually wan't to get out and floor it a few times because you want the Compression to force the rings against the cylinder walls and wear the rings into the cross hatching. Other why's if you do the Easy Break it will just prolong the break in process and it will glaze the cylinder walls and always will smoke a little. Be hard on it for the first few hours.

[@jenniesgarage]

I was worried after pushing it on that first ride, but I read a bunch of stuff that said what you mention, so I think it should be good. It makes sense too, get those rings seated quick so fire doesn't blow past.

[@TRX450RVlogger]

Exactly. Good deal man!

[@jarelnomeh2345]

That's an endless subject, just like motor oil holly wars. Either method has positive and negative testimonies. But only one is manufacturer recommended.

[@StarsWithScars]

Is the backtire not in the wrong direction?

[@brandonquenneville7330]

your smarter than an average bear ! basically anything you touch will be a success! nice job bleeding the lines! my DS bombardier needs bleeding each oil change.

[@lukewalters4716]

Dude you've got an amsoil box full of parts but put the shittyest oil the make from Walmart in. With that I get break in oil for seating rings. I hope that's not the regular oil or it wont last long. Great video series. I enjoyed watching.
