Hi mate I love the series! I’m 13 and I live in Australia and I have a 1982 rm125 that I have been restoring and ur vids are really helping to motivate me. The only problem is that’s it’s almost impossible to find parts in Australia without people charging too much.

[@MyRestoration1]

You are absolutely right! Wow 13 and you are restoring an 82? That’s amazing 🤩 You’ve got a real classic so take your time!

[@joski9030]

The first start after an engine rebuild never gets boring it’s a great feeling! You did a good job on that exhaust and the rest ✊🏻💨

[@wheels8732]

It’s so wonderful to see you repairing the parts that you can on this bike, so many restorations on KZbin are just new parts being installed. Cheers

[@WEFLIPANYCAR]

As always, amazing work. Keep up the great content ❤

[@wellingtons.cassiano3002]

What a fantastic sound. It’s exhilarating hearing that engine start again, well done!

[@michaelmccann4706]

Loving the approach to this restoration. 👍

[@paulhepden2536]

Hello loving this series. I used to own and race one back in the day. Well I say raced just wobbled around at the back of the pack in the b group lol. Great memories. Love that you have tried to reuse everything that you can it’s going to look great when it’s finished. Great job.

[@Christopher_Hall]

So awesome!!! Well done 👏👏👏

[@rcuniversespeed9447]

So exciting 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@ronnieteulon]

Can't wait to see it finished. Love all the older Motocross bikes

[@MyRestoration1]

I think you’ll be impressed. Tune in!

For the old copper washers, heat them red with a flame and throw in cold water. They come out new and soft.

[@rick79991]

Hello there, Watched the full series,just fantastic,top class resto,just the right amount of restoration,keeping as much original as you can👍 thanks to fellas like you these classics are getting saved,top job......looking forward to the finished item......then hope you do another series on the 125's 👍👍

[@gordyl9247]

My thoughts exactly, after all its having its life retained by showing patina and its still usable. Maybe some classic racing?

[@thieltech1]

Awesome skills

[@MarkSpry-s5s]

Great workmanship!

[@cbadnc9040]

Well done mate!! Following you from Carlsbad, California!

[@DrFiero]

Minor tip - don't sand your copper washers - cook them! In aviation, we'd take all the washers off our plugs during maintenance. Hang them on some stainless wire, then heat them up to red (just before they melt!) and allow to cool. Softens them right up. I've got a '78 TS that I bought new I've been restoring.

[@MyRestoration1]

That is a great tip! I completely forgot I could anneal the copper. Just as well as it’s leaking! Thank you

[@danstevens2204]

Beautiful work! 25 to 1 is leaner than 20 to 1 👍🏻

[@MyRestoration1]

Yes I realised I said that 😩 thank you for highlighting my incompetence 😂

[@mikeflohr4043]

👍👍

[@wisecampmotorcycles8258]

Fork boots are almost impossible to get, but still available, from Motoduro UK.

[@MyRestoration1]

Yes they are but if you are pedantic like I am there are too many bellows. The RM looks distinctive with its large bellows.

[@wisecampmotorcycles8258]

@MyRestoration1 the one's I'm using on my 82 RM 250, have 14 bellows, and the boots have a bit of stretch to them.

[@MyRestoration1]

From Motoduro? I seem to remember looking at the picture and counting. That said I might have got 1 set from them for the 125 project so now you jar my memory!

[@jimbo9310]

Great video and content thanks, just out of interest how’s the Norton coming along? 👍😊

[@MyRestoration1]

Hi there. It’s on hold until I get these Mx bikes out of my system. I have to be completely immersed to do this. That said not much left but there is a twist to the story..all will be revealed! Thank you 🙏

[@jimbo9310]

Thank you for your reply. I would like to add how much I learn from your videos Thankyou and looking forward to the twist. 😊

[@robplazzman6049]

I raced against these in ‘82 on my ‘78 RM250. They would smoke me big time !

[@peternaur]

So, how much coolant do I mix in for a good cup of coffee?

[@MyRestoration1]
