Q&A - 1992 RM250 Restoration

[@mikelangdon1941]

I just finished watching your entire series on the RM. I have to say, your videos are very relaxing and almost therapeutic to watch even though you are clearly working very hard. The camera work and editing are spectacular, not to mention the amount of tech you provide, make this series better than anything I've seen from a TV production studio. Keep up the great work! I'm looking forward to the next build!

[@FabiusMaximus1000]

That's exactly the same thought I had. I can't do this myself so I have to live vicariously through his videos.

missing these vids. come back soon? I'll take a maintenance vid and how you go about washing it and keeping it looking pristine!

[@TNTMOTO]

Restoration is a labour of love for sure. I try to break even on my rebuilds, and i do well most of the time. Although my builds look pretty good, they are far from what you have done with this bike. Your restoration is truly a thing of of beauty. Great job.

[@paulharrison3298]

You need a Honda in that collection. Not sure yet you stopped making content but your videos are a joy to watch. Hoping you make more content in the future.

[@lucasrobbins3597]

your video on the rm250 inspired me to go pull out my 86 xr350r out of the garage and the project is going so well and I use your videos a lot in influencing my own restoration i genuinely enjoy watching your content thank you man

[@paulharrison3298]

Not a cheap project as you say, but look at the bike you have. It’s simply irreplaceable and a credit to you. Stella work!

[@melvinholcer4756]

The best bike restoration I have ever seen

[@begleypaul1]

By far one of my favorite KZbin videos!!

[@Martin-mhm]

i'm a bit late to party here. I've just finished watching all episodes of the RM restore and what an awesome job you made of it coupled with great narration with excellent video it was all on a professional level. Amazing.

[@kfirlavi7674]

That's totally amazing. Suzuki should send you a big big present ;-)

[@VINCEBJ71]

Watched the entire series in one go. Mechanical PORN! You,dear sir, are a restauration GOD. Thanks for showing us all that.

[@polyblendfamily9126]

Hands down the best series I've watched on any platform ever, amazing attention to detail, your passion came through in every episode and I couldn't help but binge the whole thing from start to finish. What an awesome bike and an awesome talent you should be as proud as I am thankful that you chose to share it with us all...

[@wackedoutdude]

very nice build this one. Well filmed to. Always loved the look of the early to mid 90's stuff.

[@Mr10usdad]

The CR would be a great project. I really enjoyed your series. It motivated me to restore some bikes. I have done a 1986 CR125, 1995 CR250, and a 1970 CT70.

[@SnowAlchemy]

@G9Garage closing to the build QnA and show of your other projects are perfect. Look forward to your future projects! Its been a real pleasure watching. Such an under appreciated channel.

[@Guzman3605]

Hopefully we can one day see a 1996-2000. Rm250 build. Great videos man.

[@tommasch944]

I realy like maintaining my bike, wash it, lube it, change worn out parts and of course ride it. I just like to keep it in good condition. Watching your videos makes me want to buy a second bike just to rebuild it. But holy shi*, that money and time you put in is just exorbitant. Of course, having seen these videos, I should not be suprised, but wow!!! I like saving money by doing stuff myself instead of heading to the dealer. You are just on another level, totally crazy! Keep up the good work.

[@brooksieluke]

I know this is a couple of years old now, but these videos are timeless. Love your work mate... and expendable income!

[@wanebarratt5916]

Best dirtbike restoration series Iv ever seen on youtube, well done.

[@johnklause9593]

Beautiful 80’s style can’t be beat with today’s style. Much love and respect from Texas.

[@MrZielonyzx]

Show must go on my friend - Waiting for another project I'm addicted to your videos !!!

[@markmarshall7868]

great series on the rebuild . Went from harley rebuilds to a 1996 suzuki rm250 that I always liked and raced .Past the racing times but love building one like it was years ago . Thanks for your videos . respect from the USA

[@paulbull3765]

Unbelievable..... I am heading to see Mark tomorrow at Pioneer Finishes to have my KLR650 casings hydro blasted and ceramic coated. 👍🏻

[@carlos-co1bl]

your videos bring me to a mental peace state its amazing

[@rgb7150]

I've thoroughly enjoyed your videos and methodology of rebuilding one of my favourite dirt bikes that I have ever owned. Can't wait to see the next rebuild!

[@ihaveheartburn2290]

Absolutely love the work you do. Way better than a new bike by far. May cost more but how many pretty well brand new 90s rm's are around. Great video editing too by the way. Keep it up. You did such a good job on the 250 and 125. Love to watch further videos. The 90s bikes are so nice and love to see people keeping them alive.

[@Bigjoelifts15]

Love the q and a section shows your appreciation for the subscribers and watchers ,,really love this channel mate ,,and by the way you did not overspend perfection costs money ! You know the saying ,,," show me another " it's 1 of a kind well done ,look forward to the next one regards Dean, UK,,,

[@danielrelph6878]

I am 49 and these bikes are from my era love them all

[@morganhay859]

Daniel Relph I’m 15 and these bikes are so cool. So much nicer than the new bikes they sell today

[@martinschaab7746]

Hola amigo desde Argentina, es increíble lo que haces, la prolijidad que tienes. Te admiro mucho. Gracias a tus vídeos pude restaurar de cero mi rm 250 modelo 91 sin muchos conocimientos de mecánica. Sigo a la espera de mas proyectos tuyos!! Un abrazo grande desde el otro lado del mundo! Genio..

[@FloRuski]

You sir are a legend!

[@Thishandleisntavailableyo]

Had the same bike back in 94. Smoothest powerband out of any bike ive had

[@willeypoboy6052]

Your series on this build was great and had me waiting for the next episode! And this Q&A was a nice surprise. Hoping for another soon! The last,inspired me to clean up the bikes I own and gave me motivation to try maintenance chores I thought were beyond my skill level. Thank you for that !

[@CLUBBEDOUT2008]

Lovely....I’m doing a Carmichael replica at the minute.....would love to be able to do videos like this, definitely a labour of love....I look forward to your next project 👍🏼

[@ryanlester761]

Well, having a mechanical engineer's salary certainly helps afford the hard-to-find parts. Good for you on that. I unfortunately tend to pick and choose which parts to buy after each payday...my projects tend to take forever... Much respect. And beautiful bikes. Thanks for answering the questions.

[@laidtorest387]

Unbelievable collection of bikes, they’re all amazing. I’m looking forward to your CR builds. I have a 95 CR125 that I’ve been collecting parts for over the years. The purple shrouds were a nightmare but they do pop up from time to time.

[@charlesabrownjr.2875]

For what you spent and the level of effort I think they are worth more "never fired" 👍 Beautiful 💙💛💚🧡❤️ You basically nail museum quality. Very nice to see this generation of bike in new condition. Especially considering condition...

[@charlesabrownjr.2875]

Well atleast they run🤣👍

[@joshuadavila602]

The ending to this video was totally unexpected it caught me off guard but oh how satisfying it was to hear those bike rip!

[@dodgybodger3124]

Absolutely brilliant pal. I've just watched the whole rm 250 series. Hats off to you. Would love to see a 1980 yz 125 rebuild. Being 53, that was the bike of my dreams as a young ' un.

[@damianchytutos9334]

What Beauties!!!!! It is an incredible collection of legendary beasts, I congratulate you on this spectacular video. Greetings from Argentina💪😎

[@MHRacing65]

Great to get another video from you, it was a great series and well done on the finished product

[@konstantinouk7400]

Your work is superb I have no words to say you could use cheaper or aftermarket parts half the cost but you didn't you wanted the complete oem appearance even in things you or we can't see but I am sure you wouldn't be satisfied knowing that the bike has cheap or aftermarket parts. Suzuki should sent you their regards for this piece of art. I am Suzuki fan since I ve changed a lot models from two busa's, gsxr1000 08, rmz450 and now I have the last rm 250 sold in Greece 2010 model sold in 2017 . Greetings from Greece.

[@edgardoCBA1]

What an awesome job! I saw the whole process at one time and I'am absolutely surprised by the level of thoroughness and dedication applied to that beauty that dazzled us on the tracks in 1992. I think that in Hamamatsu they would not have done better, the restoration is at the level of Museum. You have beautiful bikes and the YZ 250 1993 tribute to Bradshaw is great. Waiting for the videos of the CR`s !! Greetings from Córdoba, Argentina.

[@G9Garage]

Thank you for the super kind comment!

[@edgardoCBA1]

In a previous video you showed other RM's. It occurs to me that you could do something like this. It seems a beauty to me !!! Greetings from Córdoba, Argentina

[@Ottorabe]

Just parted out a cr125 that was too far gone. Picking up a 1994 Rm250 for 250 dollars that I hope is a good candidate for resto. This build you’ve done inspires me

[@boydmorris8317]

Hey mate, I admire your work. You’ve got me all pumped to do a bike now. I like that you were able to machine yourself so many tools and parts. I’m a toolmaker by trade so when I start a bike the CNC machines will be handy. :)

[@bobthedealer9970]

Hey mate, It was great chatting to you the other week the bike looked unreal and I can't wait to see what's on show next year.

[@GiulianoRagusa]

You do a really great job both on the bikes and with the videos! Congrats and keep doing it

[@chadkennedy529]

Wow, amazing job man!! I had two 92 rm 80 back in the day. Practice/ stock bike and a super mini.

[@Snitchy1989]

Dont blame you for not wanting to start it... You did a fantastic job, looks absolutely beautiful.. if i had a bike like that, that i had restored, put serious cash and time into, i wouldnt want to start it either haha

[@brianmotley1]

Man, I had a 1989 YZ 125 and I'm thinking about doing the same just for fun...awesome videos.

[@cycleaddict9172]

This video is amazing I love seeing all these beauties you should do a garage tour 👍

[@totenkopfkevinus2906]

Nice job, I love you're bikes dude. Greatings from Frence .

You are the best I have ever seen ... kudos

[@markielarkie445]

Can’t wait for next project keep up the good work.

[@JayGoldNuggets]

Gday , I just stumbled across your channel and I'm amazed. Camera work and attention to detail is flawless. I know how much time and effort camera work/editing is, so i take my hat off to you. Ive only seen one episode but can wait to binge watch the full rm250 series today. Desperately wanting a 92 RM80 when was a kid, it a real treat to see one restored like this. I cant wait for the next project. I love the Honda Z50 ( I have 11 of them!!) and that would be a sweet, easy and cheap project to undertake as your next resto... just a thought. I can help you with parts etc. I also have a connection in Japan and i usually get abikes and parts sent over every year, so of there is any NOS or rare shit you cant find, i can potentially source them for you. Well done again on the build and you got a new sub and thumbs up form me. Cheers, JG.

[@spencerryals8896]

Glad that youre back. Im so excited!

[@snorre1120]

Nice vid mate! Keep up the good work!! At 13:17 began my favorite part ;)

[@zardportugal]

Waiting for your next project. Congrats. Cheers.

[@mareedobson9992]

Well done on the build man! Always wondered how much the price of the build would of added to. I'm restoring a 94 KX & CR 250 atm. Have 12 other 90's 2 strokes waiting there turn. Lol. It's an addiction. Thanks for your inspiration!

[@dustin9035]

This was an excellent video, thanks.

[@out2awnser]

Awesome 98 rm250, cool collection

[@G9Garage]

1997 😀

[@joaoneres1873]

I followed all the meticulous videos of the restoration of the RM 250 93 '. I confess that I was hypnotized! (rsrs). Your work is really flawless and I want to thank you for sharing with us every detail. I wonder if you even make the stickers or if you buy at some store. I own a 95 KDX 200 and I can not find her original sticker. Thank you so much again! (sorry for the grammar mistakes, I'm Brazilian rsrsrs)

[@johnfkennedygaming693]

The most beautiful rm250 year

[@SteveHacker]

This is my newest favorite KZbin channel, and I subscribed and binge watched every single video without taking a break! I CANNOT WAIT for the next restoration series! I sure wish you had the time for me to pay you for an hour or two per week of your time to watch over my shoulder (using Skype or FaceTime or similar), to help me in my earliest beginning steps of learning bike wrenching, so I don’t make massive, costly mistakes. Some mistakes are PERMANENT and financially crippling... GGGREAT channel and videos!!!

[@GetNGhost]

The YZ sounded the best out of the three, great rebuild. I'm always late to the party.

[@mr.channel6467]

Such a beautiful bike

[@charlotteliban1666]

Two strokes only !the Best !so beautiful !look genuine !

[@splintergg]

Loved the ending, that Damon Bradshaw bike is very noice :)

[@TS50ER]

I wonder what size that IT is at 12:50?

[@thibo2107]

What a nice bike it maybe have cost a lot but it are the memories that count

[@AridersLifeYT]

Great video, thanks for sharing

[@doctordirk6316]

Call me a sad'o but when I'm working at my bench with a mug of coffee and the radio on I'm as happy as a king. Cost does'nt come into it it's about the pleasure and satisfaction of getting something right. Can't understand how you can resist fireing it up though. Each to their own.

[@krp6147]

Hey love the videos, good to see a classic motocross bike being restored to such a high standard, also the video put together brilliantly keep up the good work loved to see more 👍😃🖒 p.s. how about restore a 1989 KX 125

[@mxfreaks]

Question, what did you do to clean the axle and parts. Looks like you dipped them in a tank that was charged. Do you have a video or can you explain that process. I have some hubs I want to clean before lacing up a wheel and nothing I have is taking the staining off?

[@G9Garage]

The tank I think you are talking about is the zinc plating bath. Yes, there is a video about that, check it out!

[@mxfreaks]

@@G9Garage Thanks for the reply. Great work btw!

[@tioui3844]

Amazing bikes fantastic vidéo!

[@brucebanner2039]

Does you bike roll if it's in gear with clutch pulled in and engine is cold?

[@XSAoRAD]

What other bikes have you restored previously, and what was your first bike?

[@davidevignotto6330]

Very nice built. One of the best restoration here on KZbin, and with lot of explanation. I am rebuilding an rm80 from 1996. I have a doubt on the upper bearing of the rear shock absorber. It seems like the small shaft is sticked to the seals and the bearing. On the partlist manual there are no spare parts. Do you know how should I proceed? Thank you for your videos anyway.

[@mrmoparrr]

Fantastic Channel!

[@finndoyle260]

Finally have been waiting awhile for this

[@twowheelhooligan3758]

that yz in the background is mint

[@n2n8sda]

At $30 an hour for labour thats a 30k bike right there.. :P I've been there and done that myself on several bikes, probably will do again. Mainly old 50s and 60s bikes.. I contemplated restoring one of my dirtbikes to near new status but at the end of the day unless it is all new old stock parts it never really is new and they are so much more fun having their necks wrung aroud a dirt track, espeically when you have castor oil in them :D

[@nazarystenkovoi44]

Do you by any chance know what other rims will fit on my 1992 rm 250? What year are your ones?

[@mt1885]

Suzuki has a LOT of parts for the 2 stroke RM's all in stock just rebuilt 2004 Suzuki RM125 now working on 2004 Suzuki RM250.
