Man, I could have used this in 1994 when I put one of these together..... I will be working on the same project bike this winter replacing the crank that it needed in 1994.

[@jh-tech5546]

Good luck and enjoy it.

[@kennymcquinkiss8292]

Thank you for sharing. I'm hopefully going to be putting my newly acquired rd350 motor together and this video has been a great help thanks again

[@jh-tech5546]

Thank you. Have fun on your RD and take your time.

Top !

[@johnnynewburgh9745]

video looked great..would love if you had audio of doing work

[@richardcranium9887]

Nice to see an LC engine without the numbers filed off :/

[@jh-tech5546]

Unfortunately not matching with the frame. But the bike looks and rides as good so not a big problem :)

[@RockOn74]

Hi nice video! Do you know if it is the same approach and parts to the 31K ypvs models? //Kind regards Klas

[@jh-tech5546]

Thanks for your comment! Yes I think it is pretty similar. Apart form the clutch actuation and the top end.

[@grahamlangston2101]

The important bit is not showing on this video lining up the 4 tits on the crank bearing to the housing if you don't get this right your end up with cracked bearing many people have

[@jh-tech5546]

Correct. Thanks for the comment

[@vinm300]

Great video. 5:24 why was only one side given a semicircular strip seal ?

[@stevew6031]

It's not a seal, it's a bearing locator/retainer. It fits in a groove in the bearing & lower crankcase.

[@michaeljkasnter]

Parts from where? Time Machine back to 1975?

[@jh-tech5546]

Mainly YAMBITS and CMS NL

[@Atupaitea]

some of rd have 4 shifter forks, is there another model?

[@jh-tech5546]

Sorry, I don't know of any model with 4 forks. Maybe older RD air cooled model?

Cómo puedo conseguir repuestos para una RD250 GRACIAS

[@viggowiberg]

Hey man! Just got a RD250 which needs some small work but i have no idea where to buy parts for it.. So I was just wondering if you could recommend any website where I could buy parts. Thanks!

[@jh-tech5546]

Hi, I bought original parts at www.cmsnl.com, and some other parts at yambits.co.uk, www.pjme.co.uk and www.rdlccrazy.co.uk

[@robertosansoni4421]

Is the gray sealant you used to seal the engine silicone or anaerobic? Do you put thread locking sealant on the crankcase bolts?

[@jh-tech5546]

I don't realy know if i's anaerobic but it's not silicone based for sure. No, i did't put thread lock on the canckcase bolts.

[@robertosansoni4421]

@@jh-tech5546 What brand of sealant do you use?

[@robertosansoni4421]

@@jh-tech5546 For the engine of the 2UA I used the red sealant, I must say that after more than three years nothing has happened.

[@user-kc1qk7hv1y]

Hello, what kind of glue do you use to secure the screws? Thank you for answer.

[@vinm300]

I would guess Hermetite. It comes in many colours : for alternator bolts I used Red Hermetite. For minor fixings I would use purple.

[@user-kc1qk7hv1y]

@@vinm300 Thanks. Great video about the complete assembly of the engine !! I will completely assemble the engine and the motorcycle and I am thinking about what glue I will use to secure the screws so that they do not come loose. I bought an adhesive from the LOCTITE 243 brand. Loctite offers 3 types of adhesives. With low, medium and high strength.
