When powder coating you need to make sure the metal is absolutely clean from any paint and residue from the stripper ,putting the parts in the oven for a few cycles with no powder then let cool . Then you should treat the steel to prevent corrosion underneath the coating , emertan works good on steel .Hope that is helpful to you .

I know you have over half a million subscribers and I'm sure you hear this often but I can't tell you the feelings we get when we see these vintage bikes coming back to life. For many of us who are well into our 50's, we had these bikes as kids/teens. I cut my teeth on an old, clapped out '74 DT100 that I somehow managed to get running back in 1979 when I was just 14 years old. That first bike gave me the freedom to explore and started my journey into a lifelong love for motorcycles. When you started that 250 up, I got goosebumps hearing that familiar DT sound that I remember from that summer. Thank you so much for keeping that memory alive.

This restoration was close to my heart, I grew up in the 70’s riding Yamaha’s, loved them. Thank you so much for you true to from recovery and restoration! My heart sang when I heard the engine come to life, I was 16 again , another place and another time. Thank you for reviving my old memories . Those bikes started a life time of motorcycle riding, I loved them so much I became a police officer and rode police motorcycles for 14 years, On Kawasaki Police 1000’s. I was 11 times police motorcycle champion and one time southwest regional champion. Happy Trails.

I have a very good sense of what's involved with the care of literally every nut, bolt and washer in a restoration such as this. The time and effort you put in documenting(filming) these projects. As well as your editing is both, very appreciated and gives your viewers some nicely produced content. Oh, and your skills, knowledge and attention to details are beautiful.👊🏼 Thank you.

Perfect upload well done resto! I have a story about a 74 DT250- In 1982 I was working on the UK island of Ascension as an American on the Pan Am base side. I bought the DT250 it was the tail end of the Falklands war it was crazy busy there. Took me several weeks to get the old girl in running condition but it was enjoyable if not frustrating due to difficulties in getting mail in parts. A Brit named Peter that worked at the BBC power station had several parts for his 2 yamahas that he loaned me until my parts could be delivered. That was the perfect bike for exploring that awesome island in a remarkable time period. Thanks for bringing back some good memories. Frog in Arkansas USA

I certainly don’t intend to be critical of your work but I’d like to mention your assembly of the clutch steel and friction discs . Unless the rear of the clutch basket and the face of the pressure plate have a friction material bonded to them from factory , you’ve put the clutch together incorrectly . I am not trying to say anything bad about your videos as I really love watching them . I don’t have access to a service manual for a dt 250 but unless your 100% sure you should review your segment where the clutch was assembled , metal on metal can only lead to a disaster . Sorry to point this out and if I’m wrong accept my apology , but please review your footage . 😊

That bike takes me back to the late 70s when I was just 8-9 years old. The old man bought me a beat up 73-74 Yamaha DT-80. I was the king of the neighborhood with that bike. Everyone was jealous. In fact I’m still friends with my neighbor all these years later and he still brings that up today! I’d give my left nut for that DT-250 just to feel the nostalgia of those great old bikes again.

I just found your channel and I'm watching the video 8 days after it was posted, but when you mounted the swing arm you asked if anyone noticed the mistake that you made. I noticed right away that it was mounted upside down 😊 I'm sure it's not the first time that anyone has done that.. Your videos and restoration work are both outstanding. I had to watch it because I remember looking at them on the showroom floor when they were new, and I always wanted this exact bike, but at the time I was 13 years old and spending all of my money on motocross bikes. Your shop is incredible too. It doesn't look very big, but the way it is setup everything flows nicely and it's very clean. You have a great selection of specialty tools too. I like how when you get to a certain part on a bike, you go to one of your box drawers and pull out a tool made for the task. It's amazing how much easier a complete bike disassembly is when you have all of the proper tools for the job...

Hello, I was a powder coat painter for 4 years. I would recommend pre power washing all the steal parts with a degrease cleaner and hot water after sand blasting, then drying thoroughly before powder coat painting. I would bake all parts for an hour at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Hope fully this will help with the finish. A friend from Duluth, Minnesota USA

Beautiful work bud 👌 as for the peely powder coating , hot flocking will change the finish of the powder coat a lot , preheat the parts to 200deg , bring out , hit with powder then return to the oven , dont start the cure timer until the part reaches the cure temp specified by the powder coat supplier (use an infrared thermometer to measure temps) i powder coated/diamond cut for a few different companys over the last ten years and this always gives the best finish. 30mins at 200deg with a cold flock technique will 99% of the time leave a peel and undercured powder that may craze in time.

In the late 60's and 70's here in Minnesota during the winter months we, as 15 and 16 year olds, would read and reread the sales brochures we had of new bike models and redesigned ones. While it was -25 degrees outside we salivated turning the pages and the first time i saw the DT's it took my heart with its design and as the weather got warmer and the sun higher it almost became a fever of expectations when the dirt appeared. Riding weather was only weeks away and my dreams weren't sugar plums and presents, it was sitting atop that DT250 from the brochure slinging mud, dirt and weeds out the back wheel as the 250 whined and wing-dinged it's own song. I'm 71years old now and i sure miss those days.

My friend, ....congratulation! I followed your restoration until the end, totally focused, during every step. You know how to work and you have all the tools that you need for that purpose. You make us believe that is easy, ....but is not, ...and we know that! I wish you success and good health. Take care, my friend. Roberto, from Atlanta, USA.

I had a DT 250 just like that. The carburetor and cylinder were not black from the factory. The side cases were polished. I also had a custom powder coating shop. If you want better results, as far a cheap guns Eastwood are much better than what you have. Also as soon as the powder starts to flow, take it out and put another heavy coat on it.

A fantastic restoration and a lot of very useful tips as I head into my restoration of my IT465. I love the simplicity of the early 2 strokes and as a Yamaha tragic, this was a great episode. Well done

Oh man that noise takes me back. As a youth in Glasgow I had a 4th or 5th hand Suzuki TS100 for my first ever transport. It was stolen at least once a month and always recovered as it was such a bag of crap. I absolutely coveted a DT. You've really done that veteran bike proud and produced another great video. Thank you very much.

I really love your content. It's both a pleasure to watch but also I feel it's full of wee educational tips and knowledge. As a person who gave up on "free to air" TV and pretty much only watched subbed YT as primary evening viewing I am grateful for any amazing content such as this... I don't have any particular preference for the longer or shorter formats. I am used to longer videos from Mustie1 for example so maybe... the longer videos are nice to watch - but I also appreciate just how much work goes into making them, especially the longer editing sessions to create the videos after having done the wrenching! Thankyou so much for another excellent piece of work! Love your stuff!

Good job! Man years ago I did a '76 DT 250... I think it was one of the first rear monoshock jobs. I did away with all of the oil mixing stuff.... therefore the oil tank became a tool box... and there was never any guessing if the oil was distributed evenly.... I just mixed the fuel & oil into the tank.... no worries.... Even with 6 year old fuel... it started. The only mistake I made was missing a spacer in the gearbox..... so between 4th and 5th I had another neutral ! Didn't matter to me... it was a chook chaser.... and started every time. Cheers !
