The Most Important Part To My CR250 Build

[@CameronNiemela]

Do you prefer aluminum or steel frame?

[@sendmemes5474]

Cameron Niemela alimuinuim if it’s clean it looks mint but with steel frame I can powdercoat it to have more Color I wouldn’t powdercoat a aluminium frame tho cause clean and polished alimuim like this looks wayyy better I prefer aluminium

[@endlessprogression9543]

Aluminum but I cant NOT like steel frames.. Great job Cameron keep it up!!!!

[@backyardsemtex]

Aluminium is great because its low weight and durability. Steel frame from old bikes are great if you want to modify the frame at all. By modifying I mean welding mostly and thats exactly what I done to my KLX frame.

[@jurajkovac1770]

Aluminum frame looks great, does not corrose and its much lighter than steel so aluminum frame is definitely winner. My aprilia tuareg is one of vintage bikes which have steel frame and its not bad at all. Paint looks good afterall, but i can find some spots which needs to fix rust, but it is not terrible.

[@kgahms2947]

I like both on the Honda’s I think it looks nice and on smaller bikes steel or aluminum

[@cameronskaalerud6611]

All of your videos are super helpful... I’ve learned so much about how to fix and how to make my bikes look good... thanks👊🏼👍🏼

[@hampcraft3347]

I’m so ready to see this thing together!

[@brandoneldridge2968]

Did a similar process to a cr250 recently. We continued sanding with 600 grit, 1000, and finished with 1500. We hit it with a wool buffing pad and a compound and it literally looks like chrome. Works good if that’s what you’re into 👍🏻

[@kadenhalvorson2620]

Hey I absolutely love your videos dude. I picked up a 2002 cr250 in February and I’m in the process of tearing it down and rebuilding it And watching your videos helps me a ton. I Can’t wait to see the bike finished!!

[@ДмитрийИнокентьевич]

Hi, I'm from Russia! I watch your videos with pleasure. I've learned a lot from you. You're a great fellow!

[@Snitchy1989]

i CANNOT wait, for this build to commence! Guna be a gorgeous machine dude... You have done such an incredible job on it so far.. The attention to detail that you provide, is amazing... Best and most consistent youtuber BY FAR

[@CameronNiemela]

Thanks man, much appreciated!

[@nelsonshire]

I can’t wait to see you put this thing together

[@zackmiller1165]

I had an 03 crf450r. Just got the 2018 450r and it's fricken sweet.

[@garya3056]

Amazing work, Cameron. If you’re OCD like me, there’s 2 more processes to try... 0000 steel wool pads and then metal paste polish. It will look like chrome. Touch ups are easy, too. Then it’s time to get some mud on it all!

[@CameronNiemela]

Thanks. Definitely not after a chrome finish though.

[@robertlatham8361]

Looking good Cameron just the way I like them, once you have gone through them to this extent, it seems to boost your confidence in them, knowing they are spot on good work Bud.

[@MotoMarv-Micahboy]

Wow, your cr250 is going to be showroom condition. Can't wait to see what you will be doing as far as plastics/seat/Graphics.👍

[@goodboyringo9716]

If you keep sanding with smoother and smoother (360,400,600,800,1000,1500) paper until 2000 you could polish it to a chrome shine !

[@throttlefamily4655]

Great video can’t wait to polish our frames for our builds keep up the good work! We are going to try Mother’s aluminum polish and other polishes on our builds!

[@TheDesertsweeper]

As i commented on the preceding frame clean-up video, what about sealing that finish with a clear-coat of something? Have you tried that approach?

[@jonthelamb4549]

Can’t wait to see the engine get built

[@danielroberts9492]

Have you looked into vapor blasting because I think it would be a good investment because the parts literally are better than new just a suggestion

[@hkrmotorsport2494]

Wow, can't wait to see the finished bike! Your videos are awesome!

[@HybridEdits]

Can you do a yz250 aluminum frame bike flip restoration series? I have one and the frame is in good shape but it looks dingy looking from years of riding. Maybe bling it out?

[@みゃー-w2u]

Hello, nice to meet you? Good evening? When I am from Japan I am out of time and I am in trouble with greeting I am Japanese, but I am talking with an interpreter application, maybe there is a slightly strange sentence? Just to tell you, your behavior is very wonderful and you can see how much melts love on how much, please do your best from now on

[@CameronNiemela]

Thank you so much!

[@hreindustries]

みゃーさん what

[@thecambiker]

Quality... Not long till rolling chassis or you going to build the engine and carb up first?

[@CameronNiemela]

I'll be building the engine next then assembly from there.

[@grantwomeldorf4509]

Do you think it wouldve came out better with some type of lube on the aluminum while sanding or no?

[@lombardozarateiii6920]

Magnifico! I got a 98 kx 125 steel frame. But i love how the honda frames look.

[@MotoMarv-Micahboy]

Lombardo ZarateIII - same

[@quadejordan6943]

Lombardo ZarateIII 98 kx never heard of

[@quadejordan6943]

Lombardo ZarateIII year or size

[@dirtbikevlogs5572]

Nice video Cameron frame looks awesome

[@rich70912]

You should get the tx race kit plastics for the 250

[@ronaldphillips5481]

Would it be possible to grind out the welds or would it make the frame weaker?

[@ericksaldana4453]

I would recommend wet sanding

[@Thundercat68]

Look awesome Cameron!

[@mxrider2strokebraaap54]

Nice video🤙 the frame looks amazing🔥

[@josiahanderson2458]

what grit of sand paper where you using? Love all your vids btw! @Cameron Niemela

[@julioribeiro9009]

[@akathecanadian]

[@viktorlindelof5729]

How do you do to keep the shine?

[@superbenroy1]

Woow you crazy for cleaning it this much :o

[@gregmoran6987]

I need help guys, 04 kx250f runs great but dies out around 4th lap on the track, pull off the track, starts first kick, pull on the track does it again on the 2nd lap, pull off starts first kick, take a break, starts first kick take a few laps dies out again, pull off starts first kick, please please help anything makes a difference

[@noahv1916]

(Idk if u can powder coat aluminium pretty sure u can’t ) but I kinda wanna see you powder coat the frame same red color that would make this looking amazing

[@codenamenel]

you can powder coat most metal, kzbin.info/www/bejne/iH6ml6yFZaiCotE But too much of that red would over do it, better to just pick out some highlights

[@Austinflatt54]

You should put the 18 crf plastics on the bike

[@hreindustries]

BRAAAP Moto no

[@MrRenotstoner]

yuk

[@hreindustries]

yuk indeed

[@pate7934]

Awesome video!

[@benfeatherstone1067]

i acc crave your vids man keep it rad

[@bradgriffith6234]

Hey Cam. Want to see you tear into the engine and bring it back 100 as in 100%

[@mayconivan1419]

new subscriber. I'm from Brazil

[@glennspeeds]

You are sanding off the clear anodizing that it is coated with from the factory. Now the aluminum will oxidize quick.

[@christophervillarreal8565]

another excellent video brother keep em coming! Might have to start a new channel where its builds only! And one for tech tips and how to! more likes more subscribers more money?

[@evanhord3038]

Can I put a scotchbrite pad on an angle grinder?

[@CameronNiemela]

Yep, definitely could!

[@asambi69]

Are those welds factory? there not very straight lol.

[@christianpeters9974]

If you ran a buffer over that frame it would be like a mirror!

[@human1513]

My favourite motorcycle site. 2 thumbs up.

[@stijn9126]

Do you use anything tot protect all that metal from corrosion?

[@codenamenel]

Its Aluminium, It oxidises instantly as soon as he scuffs it, the resulting Aluminium oxide layer is very hard and doesnt corrode for years

[@__justin__]

I saw terrible corrosion when Al turns into white powder. Under wet conditions. Inside of Al rims for example.

[@codenamenel]

justin that's galvanic corrosion, because your nipples and rim are different metals they make a chemical reaction, the white powder is the end product of the reaction

[@__justin__]

Thanks! That tell us it has to be protected with some sort of coat or grease?

[@codenamenel]

justin other than hard anodising like aftermarket rims it would be difficult. Because it's such a harsh environment, think of all the different forces acting on a spinning MX wheel at once, trying to get something that wouldn't degrade, crack, spin off, affect rubber inner tubes etc would be a nightmare. They'll still last year's as they are, Easier just to check them often and replace if ever required

[@danielroberts9492]

Also I think it would be a lot quicker than sanding the frame

[@mikecunningham3423]

The same way I eat my corn 1:32

[@IAmToKennT]

Your bikes are the worlds cleanest! 👍🏾

[@Trentonborr]

Do a cr 500 next

[@paulmader1052]

Should get it chrome dipped or powder coated instead

[@quadeericsson7857]

Steal looks nice if it is painted or polished greatly but aluminium look very nice🕵

[@jonathanbrandt3137]

I wish my frame is sooo clean! :D

[@motocrossfanclub4454]

Looks nice

[@Dvniemela]

Thumbnail on poiinnntttt

[@CameronNiemela]

Thx homie!

[@mmoplayerful1]

Your frame looks nice and all but when I clean up aluminum frames I make them a mirror finish! Look into buffing wheels and metal polish creams! Your frame looks dull compared to that mirror finish!

[@justwhynot1865]

Love your vids keep it up!!

[@cazymoto]

you have too much free time! :)

[@kaidenviik4458]

Should have just powder coated the frame and swing arm black

[@blazindubey1721]

Cam you the man I say the same thing every video give me a shout out next video my real names James G I'll be watching

[@vdubz757]

Polish it

[@ansennickel6480]

Put stuff together

[@StilwellMotovlogger]

This bike is gonna look amazing after it done with all this work, but after the first ride it will never look the same again, not even close

[@CameronNiemela]

You haven't seen my 125 then lol

[@patrickhanaway6445]

Powder coat it 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@PiazzaWoodWorks]

Hurry up n build the thing

[@curtiswlkr]

At 7:18 looks super scratched up from sanding. Wet sanding would work better and needs some more fine grit to get the scratching out

[@DiverTrev]

*#PARTOFTHENOTIFICATIONSQAUAD*

[@hampcraft3347]

Hype

[@motomanic1271]

It's a dirt bike. Not ment to be perfect but good job

[@__justin__]

Keep in a dry place.

[@ProMotoo]

Early squad👊🏻

[@ProMotoo]

Thanks for the heart man✊🏻👊🏻

[@gabbleredneck6318]

First

[@gabbleredneck6318]

Lukas Radzimski why did u put yup?

[@bhunt6199]

build it already

[@boonkgang9045]

Lol who cares. Gonna look like shit later on

[@vanalstyne9834]

Love your videos. Sorry, but the frame looks terrible. The swing arm is brushed, not the frame. You should of left it alone or gone the whole way.It's your bike so rock on.
