Looking great! Thanks for the videos!!
Thanks for watching!
That looks better than new. Absolutely beautiful 🤩
Thank you
What torque settings you using, 1 Ugah Dugguh or 2 ugahdugahs?
Depends, actually it was 25ft/lb on the cylinder and 18 on the head. Did happen to strip two head studs because my torque wrench wasn’t accurate, and that bike should have never had copper washers, live and learn. went and got my first digital wrench today and replaced the studs.
Great videos and very informative! Also you are great motivation for the to continue re building my 92 suzuki dr350. I currently have everything (hopefully) laid out and just need to put everything back together. One question that i cant seem to find the answer to, is what viable options do i have for the engine aesthetic wise. The options I know of or heard of ar: 1.Clean/brush/vapour blast the engine and leave it as is bare aluminium. (This although a great look in my opinion... Has sparked up the biggest debate of whether the engine will start to oxidize and look bad due to it as well as all the dirt grime that will get stuck to it due the the lack of a protective coat. 2. Powder coating the whole engine which i know has a good result but at a high price. 3. Do a good prep work and use spay on engine enamel. Cheap and easy to touch up i assume?... However i think look wise it doesn't look that great and color selection in my part of the world for high temp spay on paints isnt that great. Silver would be the closest to factory look. I am mostly seeking for an opinion on the bare aluminum option... Vapour blasted or brushed, how do you think it will hold up? Keep in mind this bike will be used off road, it will not be a showroom bike. Thanks in advance. Looking forward to hearing your valuable opinion and sorry for the lengthy post and my limited english.
Yes the bare aluminum can oxidize. If this is a bike that will not get cleaned after riding and or left outside then I do not recommend bare aluminum. If I'm correct that is an air-cooled bike so I wouldn't think powder coating the fins would be a great idea as it would impede the heat transfer. Cerakote would be the best option but, bare aluminum will work if you keep it clean and dry when not in use. I ride all my bikes in the woods and on track when possible and have not had any issues with the bare aluminum, but I do wash them, blow them off and put them in the garage when done. Good luck and Thank you
Man I love those tables. It's been a game changer for me.
Spoke too soon. That vapor blast cab is a game changer...lol.
Definitely nice to have around.
Nice bike I have the same one I trail ride with it
Thank you, that’s awesome
Looking good man! I’ve got a rad valve on mine too. Boyeson still has replacement parts in stock, I needed a new boot
Had the same problem with the crown head nuts too.😂
Same, stock was shot.
Thank you for all the videos, I picked up a 91 today for 250.00 The bottom end is seized but other than that everything else looks ok.
Good luck, let me know if you need anything
Hey John. Just wanted to say hey to you and your wife. We met you guys up on lido on the pride and burned a few smokes. Hope this gets to you cause I’m not great on a phone. Watching a clip right now. Interesting!!
Glad you were able to get on. Thank you Had a great time on the cruise
Weld and retherad
Great idea, I thought about it but I think I may have a better option
Grind that gear down so you can get the clip on .
Got one other option to try first hopefully have the video this weekend
Love it
Thank you And master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.
Aftermarket carb tm 40 pumper, i prefer stock. Stock headers are good for low to mid power.
Agreed, been digging into it over the last few weeks
Could you get a relief machined in the water pump drive gear deep enough to get your snap ring on? I can’t imagine there’s a huge load on that gear
I agree probably not much loas there, it is definitely a good idea, Thank you
Studs can be made on a lathe.
Absolutely correct, I just don't happen to have one. I will check with a local machine shop. Thank you
Crotch rocket with knobbies! Going to be a fun bike man!
Lmfao, it was barely running, you couldn’t turn it or push it very good, was a bear to load, almost killed myself on the test ride because it wouldn’t steer, but I have plans…
whats BRP?
The Honda XR650R is also known as the Big Red Pig, and has been shortened to BRP.
looking good
Thank you
Nice work. On my next one I’m going to find a powder coat setup like you’ve got, much better than spray paint. Did you manage to find a new chain slider or is that the original? I had to do some repair work on mine, couldn’t find a new one.
That’s is the original, it was in decent shape. I did see a couple on eBay
@@Gordupnorth2 that was the original, they have them in the Netherlands and uk on eBay but there not cheap
The build is coming along nicely
Thank you
Thats the year model rm 250 i had.
I loved that rm too, could turn on a dime
You’re zinc plating turned out really well, I’m going to have to get one of those set ups
I was surprised at how well it did, if the amps are excessively to high it will etch the metal, but overall it was pretty easy to do.
lol the brake spring bolt through the clutch case housing is pretty good…. Never know what you’re going to find with these old bikes!
Definitely a first for me
New sub here,just found ur channel, great job on the tank! What gritt sand papers did u use? The price of the bike would be cheap here in the uk, great job,great channel👍
Started with 400 then 600 then 1200, and buff
@@BrokeMX Turned out great, thanks for the reply, just watched your recent upload,which reminded me to reply🤦♂️ Great job so far👍
Thank you
Looking good! Those old Pro Circuit pipes are like finding gold. Mine has a PSI pipe on it, don’t know much about PSI, I think they’re more of a snowmobile outfit. Goi g to run it though, can’t find anything else
Completely understand, any pipe is better than no pipe. I got lucky that this one fit, kinda.
@@BrokeMX block both ends wood hose clamps valve in one end and 140 psi then aply heat aroung dent may blue up chrome thogh i think thers a way to remove it
Thank you
Looking forward to it. I have a POS Rm i bought recently. Mine runs but the bones are beat to shit. Pegs, air filter, chain guide was completely sawed in 2, plastics, tank nut broke, missing seat strap, needs new brakes, rotors, chain adjusters, front hub rotor bolt holes are to big on 2 out of the 6, chain, sprockets, etc etc etc. I thing ill end up with some excel wheels, new plastics, maybe some paint on the frame and retro 90s graphics and call it good.
Sounds almost as bad as the kx I’m working on, good luck and let me know if you need any help
@@BrokeMX i just need bushings machined for the totally wore out brake pedal. Can't find aftermarket. OEM is $200 or so.
I have used cut up hose clamps, soup cans, and soda cans in a pinch. Not saying it’s right, but it works. Let me know the dimensions of what you need, JWilliams@BrokeMX.com
@BrokeMX good idea. I watched a video madmarc put out. He found a bushing from McMaster Carr. Once I get the new brake pedal bolt I'll measure it. Then press the old out and take measurements off it. I have a machinist that will do it. But I hate to ask because he does that stuff on his own time.
That’s awesome
Nice repairs you did,they look clean
Thanks 👍
Contest giveaway bike?!?!
If I can get the title, maybe without. Anyone have opinions, I don’t know which states require them.
subbed. you inspire me to get around to building up my 2008 YZ 250
Awesome, thank you
Killer deal brother. Sub'd. I want to see this one. Maybe you could build a tribute bike?
Kevin or Travis?
Happy to see you getting into her! Excited to watch what you do with my ol yellow.
Glad to have the opportunity, thank you
i reckon the 89 and 90 where shit hot do some sort of thro back style to those years maybe
I really liked the 90, thanks for the input
That's a great deal!!! Great video!!!
Thank you
Good deal restoring bikes is fun enjoy 😊
It sure is, thank you
Kx500 was the sneek peak
I wish It’s more about a supposedly unavailable part that we got our hands on(kinda), if you ever tried getting a pipe for a 90-91 it would be obvious. Thank you
For the music during the vapor blasting get too loud compare to the average sound of your video. Looks correct at the end. Thanks for the videos
I apologize I usually try to normalize it, was in a rush trying to get my computer functioning after hard drive crash. Should have everything in place now to improve future videos. Thank you for the feedback
I can see this bike being completely redone with the frame blue green plastic with blue and white badging white renthal bars and blue rims I love these bikes
I hope you are aware that not all bearings are created equal. The Chinese made bearings that are super cheap are made with severely inferior materials. They look like decent parts but they simply do not hold up. The metals they are made from and the heat treatment they receive to temper the metals properly is severely inferior to a factory oem bearing from Japan. Basically you are really asking for it when you buy cheap bearings.
I am painfully aware of this from working on cars, even the ones that come from Detroit axel nowadays are junk…, I try and use stock when possible but sometimes you have to go outside the box and find the best alternative. Thank you
Reminds me of the American made bike in winners take all 😮 are those oem plastics looks awesome 👌
Thank you, no revolutions plastic and tank ordered through mx revival, which is now mx skills shack
@BrokeMX right on isn't mx skill shack in Hollister California really close to my area like 20 minutes away I'm trying to get them to rebuild a shock for me those guys are funny 😁
@@rockman49er ua-cam.com/video/AzHEU0Fg_cI/v-deo.htmlsi=zDs-joD5tXgikU_h I think they’re in Utah now?
Nice looks fun i just restored a 98kx250
Glad to hear, hope you enjoy it
I run that carb through an ultrasonic cleaner
Haven’t gotten one yet, I’ll have to look into it
IM TOLD A SHEEP'S WOOL WHEEL IS THE BEST WITH A POLISH, THATS AFTER THE TANK HAS HAD A HEAT GUN RUN OVER IT , THE TNT MOTOX CHANNEL GUY BRINGS HIS PLASTICS UP BETTER THAN NEW
Awesome, thank you
I need a tank bad are you interested in selling
I ordered all my transmission bearings from Babbitts online parts warehouse. They had everything
Thanks for the info
I wish I can find my 1991 KDX200 in this condition and rebuilt the Whole Bike , in my 20's I usually win Enduro back in My country Dominican Republic, now Im 48yrs old . I want to show my 21yrs old Son , Kawasaki, was superior than his KTM, Sherco sht.. KX, KDX, CR, CRM are Trophies bikes BTW I hate Honda guys they make me eat a lot of Dusts lol
That would be awesome
Another great video!!! Lots of great information!!!
Thank you
Why don't you order all your bearings & seals from a bearing supplier? Kawasaki doesn't make bearings, they source them from bearing manufacturers. I've never come across a bearing I couldn't source from a bearing supplier.
I agree, some of them can be a little difficult if you don’t have a number and you’re going off of dimensions. Just trying to keep it simple on the video so people that don’t know can see that there are other options. Thank you
@@BrokeMX I still remember bank in the day when ktm came out with pds rear suspension, the lower shock mount used a teflon or something like that heim joint. KTM dealerships charged a stupid amount of money for them and everybody said they're not available from anybody but ktm. I sourced them back to INA Bearings. I ended up selling them at half the ktm price and also offered a brass version people could grease via a nipple.
That’s awesome, there is almost always a solution if you have the desire and patience to find it.
Final question. What did you use to remove the linkage bosses? Lots of material there to deal with.
started with rasp and moved to discs, links below. good luck www.harborfreight.com/high-carbon-steel-rotary-rasp-set-10-piece-62694.html www.harborfreight.com/2-in-surface-conditioning-kit-11-piece-60753.html www.harborfreight.com/pneumatic-14-in-angle-die-grinder-58909.html
