Swing Arm - 1992 RM250 Restoration - Episode 19

[@CameronNiemela]

Great work mate! That RM is in some very good hands

[@G9Garage]

Thanks for the kind words Cameron. Love your vids man.

InstaBlaster.

[@satishvasane6812]

Thanks brother from India, swing arm, the most neglected part of the bike

[@out2awnser]

the factory brushed finish looks immaculate! I opted to get some parts I couldn't clean up satisfactorily hydro blasted and was very impressed with the finish. Your making me wish i gave it the brushed finish though! keep churning out the videos, its a great way to beat the youtube algorithm and let more people see what your doing

[@oo0Spyder0oo]

I'm trying to get my '08 Rm back to factory spec after the previous owner converted it to an enduro machine. The decals are exorbitantly priced so I drew the originals from scratch in a vector program and just need to get them printed now. I recommend making your own up and save heaps. Great videos, going to go back over them and see them all, thanks for sharing, brilliant job.

[@richardclausen2904]

Your videos are amazing. Your subscribers should be in the millions for what you are showing us. Keep it up, great work.

[@BradMason2014]

Fantastic restoration and install. Thanks for uploading! This helps a lot with my quad build.

[@Mark147KTM]

This is the best build video on the internet!! By far!

[@Dirt_Bike_Dave]

I found your videos just the other day and have been binge watching ever since. This thing will be a brand new 1992 RM 250 but in the year 2018 incredible !!! How are you able to source all those factory parts? Must cost you a small fortune !!. I really cant wait to see the end product. I loved this couple years of the zook, but really hated those funky ass graffix. Please keep up the GREAT work !!!

[@G9Garage]

MrFarscape40 thanks for watching! Yes the parts cost a lot and some are hard to find but hopefully the end result will be worth it.

[@duncanneal3391]

Just in the middle of binge watching your videos, fantastic eye for perfection. Dread to think how much money you’re spending on original Suzuki parts. Now onto the next episode 👍

[@yucoseko6362]

idk swingarm build will be so satisfying like this

[@erichamm9010]

How you machine your own parts is amazing. Keep making these videos they are great.

[@x49ceelydevil]

Another great vid, and fantastic tutorial on good practice when it comes to restoration!!!

[@laphidungable]

awesome! I can watch your videos all day. Can't wait to see your final work.

[@hollywood1937]

Quality detail work!!! Amazing man amazing!!! Talent

[@drush525]

Just a future tip for suspension set up. Keep all pivot points loose, once assembled hop on the bike and bounce suspension up and down. This allows all parts to move and settle in their alignment before tightening these bolts.

[@fzproject6462]

can't wait to se it wheelie mate. you have such a quality content! pretty sure you'll getting bigger.

[@triscadz5263]

You work like Cameron Niemela, so beautiful.

[@forreststrong797]

Really like your videos I'm in the middle of restoring a 1995 suzuki rmx250 and have a 1994 rmx250 I restored previous I have a 1991 rm250 that is most likely next

[@richardclausen2904]

You are an artist!

[@maverick2242]

Wow that swing arm looks amazing, it’s great to see how you make your own tools for parts you need to install or remove as well, nice work. Do you use anti seize on bolts you may have to remove from time to time.

[@extropy1]

Subbed! I had a (UK) 92' in 1994. Such nostalgia seeing all the familiar parts. Amazing how my sub frame never bent, I went through a few rear mudguards back in the day! Man I'd love to own one of these again, but I'm well aware of my mortality these days, I know how easy it'd be to snap my body lol. The really awesome thing about this, is a young engineer/mechanic bringing it back to it's former glory. I'm pretty OCD too when it comes to doing the things I love, it's the only way to be. I'm so looking forward to seeing the end result. Sterling work! :o)

[@G9Garage]

Hey what a great comment. I really appreciate it and thanks for subscribing!

[@freckmx8296]

Hope you build another bike after this one mate

[@G9Garage]

Jason Frecklington - will do! Have a few options for what’s next. Will probably do a poll on the Facebook page...

[@garageratz2692]

Yup looking great!!

[@colossalbigfoot256]

Awesome job and attention to detail. I’m restoring my 89 RM250 and find your videos far superior to anyone else’s. I love the old RM’s. They’re a beast! Between moves I’ve misplaced my rear axle bolt and don’t want to pay $100 for a new one.. suggestions to get replacement? eBay?

[@pate7934]

Awesome video!

[@gabebeaucage5141]

Just made my day 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Mrdeepdiver123]

Really nice work!! I love your videos! But you forgot to put loctite on the outside of the helicoil, this way you get a better attachment and the helicoil wont ever come loose. I don't think it'll be a problem in this case.. but it's better to know!! 🤙😁 Please go on with these beautiful restoration!!!

[@richardclausen2904]

I have a KX450F and the previous owner sprayed the frame and swing arm black. Some of the paint is coming off. Would you recommend just paint stripping to or sand blasting? I have just found a place in Hong Kong that does sand blasting so its an option now. With sand blasting, is there a special coating I need to spray onto the aluminium to stop it corroding? Thanks Richard.

[@Sore243]

Can you add the link to the part tools that you pull out the swingarm bearings with ??

[@potaylo]

Thanks for the honest account of your mistake (swingarm upside down) as I make mistakes also. Gave me a good laugh.

[@AbcAbc-ox6pg]

Fantastic. I rebuild my 2004 YZ250 and want to refurbish the swingarm to factory look as well. Brushing it to get OEM look will be no problem but I would like to anodize it to prevent oxidation. Or do you have any experience how long it will look so new without anodizing?

[@G9Garage]

I did one about 5 years ago that looks just as good today...

[@allan2502]

Where did u get ur bearing driver? Thank you

[@richardclausen2904]

How did they get the BRUSHED FACTORY look?

[@winsonabraham3925]

Good job.

[@yeroccorey]

Love your videos!

[@barryavery568]

How did you remove the swing arm bolt. Mine is stuck. I don’t want to beat it out. Please explain the process. Great restoration videos.

[@G9Garage]

If you go back to episode 3 you can see I was lucky that the bolt just tapped out!

[@flo-tx4nv]

Hi m8 do you know where i get a left Radiator for my RM 125 1992?

[@maxyoutube974]

How is the brushed look achieved

[@gregoryhudak5216]

Where can I order parts for my 1996 rmx 250

[@adventuresofalostboy1466]

Amazing! How did you get the brushed finish? Is it by hand or machine?

[@G9Garage]

Have a look at the swingarm rebuild vid on the RM125 build...

[@adventuresofalostboy1466]

@@G9Garage Thanks I actually found that vid shortly after I asked:)

[@erevopwns]

I love these videos!!!!!!!!!

[@coltonralph3194]

where did you get your decals, im restoring a 1991 rm125

[@G9Garage]

Colton Ralph the 250 swing arm decals are still available from Suzuki. Not sure about the 125.

[@johndrypean4747]

Swing arm in the liquid with what it is?

[@AWKK1]

good job! Gotta ask what tools are you using?

[@G9Garage]

AW KK what brand? Nothing special, a combination of different stuff.

[@AWKK1]

okay

[@-MaDkInG-]

How long do you think it will take you to finish this build.

[@G9Garage]

MaDkInG 720 hopefully not too much longer! I’m keen to start the next build!

[@taylorious1693]

9:37 ...oh man... **THIS IS WHERE I GET METAL INTO MY FINGER TIP**

[@rebeccabrown8124]

How much would buy that work of art as to me it's what it is your a wizard at mx restoration fella love to see a 1991 kx 125 restoration

[@G9Garage]

Probably more than a new bike! Thanks!

[@User-sz2bg]

What’s your plans with the bike when finished, you probably have over a couple grand into this

[@G9Garage]

Fennell 80 - No plans yet. I wish it was only a couple of grand! 😬

[@User-sz2bg]

G9Garage I have the same bike and thought about redoing it like you before I realized it would cost more than a better newer bike

[@vanalstyne9834]

Couple grand, yeah that's all. Funny.

[@brent840]

Make that 3 problems!! You forgot a piece! On the inside before you but the cap on

[@thumpick]

Hi, how did you get the final brushed look after hydro blasting please ? I’m trying restore my 97 Suzuki TL Swing-arm. Regards

[@G9Garage]

The swingarm was sent away to Pioneer Finishes to be refurbished. I’m not sure what process they used but I’m guessing the final finish is achieved with coarse grit abrasive paper.

[@jamesmbrannon8692]

Whens the next vid going up

[@G9Garage]

Depends - i'm waiting on some rear shock parts. If they arrive by the weekend i should have a video up Sunday night. If not, probably next week... Check out the G9Garage facebook page for updates...

[@DUNELIZARd7]

You should sell to Suzuki dealer to put this bike on show room floor
