Hands-down, the best diagnostic work I’ve ever seen on UA-cam!!! I would really like to see you do more diagnostic and fix work on new regeneration fuel injection, motocross, bike, or quad. I bet you get a ton of views!! Great job on all the builds
Thank you so much for your kind words. I generally pick up what’s available to me at a decent price near my area so unfortunately, I don’t get to pick and choose to often.
What a great video! I actually stumbled upon your channel back on your previous 150 build video and at the time I was rebuilding my own 150 that had blow up, because of exactly what you said, the famous spun cam. It dropped a valve and the crank snapped. I rebuilt it and its running great to this day. I actually touched up the frame also but with a duplicolor honda-grey that matched up perfectly with the original paint. Keep uploading these videos man you really are teaching us a lot. Your the man.
Fantastic refresh on the 150r!! Just a heads up that there are 2 versions of this bike, a small wheel and big wheel (150rb). On the small wheel version the fork tubes are meant to stick a few inches out of the top of the triple clamp and the rb is supposed to be flush. There are a few other differences like swingarm length, and obviously rim size between the two. These bikes are seriously peppy and fun!
It’s all good, I commented a few months ago , I got that XL200R finished, i was telling you about .it runs awesome, .now I need a seat cover and hopefully I find some new plastic. Anyway love the channel and great work. Sorry it took a minute to reply!! Hope all is good your way friend!!
Glad to hear you got your bike together. Aftermarket companies don’t generally carry plastics for those so good luck. As always, I appreciate you watching and your comments.
My boys and I love watching the channel!!!! So where do you post your project once finsihed and/or how does someone acquire a bike of yours once completed? Thanks in advance!
Question let’s just say hypothetically speaking, u do run the bike w/the old cam that’s slights off by literally a smidgen but the bike still runs if u finesse the timing! What’s the worst it can do to the cylinder head & valve train?! 🤔
I’m not sure if you are referring to a spun cam gear or just being off a tooth. If it’s off just a little bit it’s going to be more of a performance issue generally won’t cause any damage to the piston or the valves. If you find that you cannot line the timing marks up, look for a stretched timing chain, and that will be crucial to replace.
@TopOfThaMotorMs I certainly would not ignore that because it could slip further in which case you would have piston to valve contact and potentially destroy your cylinder head
My 04’ kx250f has excessive oil pressure and is spitting out the crankcase vent, when I give throttle it dies. Any ideas to push me in the right direction when tearing it apart?
First off, what is your oil level like? These bikes will spit excess oil out the vent if overfilled. There are a lot of reasons a bike may stall when applying throttle but I would start with a complete carb rebuild including mid body gaskets. I have a video on FCR carb rebuilds.
Well the reason I use to work Honda and then Hot Cams the gears for pressed on with over 4700 pounds of pressure just to get them set when the engine heats up they would never move.and if you back to the segment watch the 2 minutes and see if you can tell me why the cams were not lining up. It’s right in front just a hint for you
Unbelievable amount of knowledge on all these machines! I feel your channel is going to explode soon. Great content
Thank you for your kind words. Just know that I learn new things on almost every build.

I just found your channel, and ended up doing a marathon of binge watching your videos. Great stuff.
I appreciate you more than you know! Thank you.
Haha..same here. Extremely helpful videos. Where do you get your manuals?
Thank you. I search around the net to find the best price for digital manuals on each machine.

I appreciate you and your boys watching. Generally I’ll throw them back up on the Facespace Marketplace for the next person to enjoy.

@@restoroosterohv & that’s wat I thought i just needed a 2nd opinion sumbodies I actually trust… Thanx & appreciate it my guy! 💯🫡
@TopOfThaMotorMs you’re welcome. Good luck with your build.
I saw a buke just like thjs on facebook marketplace yesterday. Was that your bike
I couldn’t say, I sold this bike a good while back
What paint did you use?
Krylon fusion metallic aluminum

Bad news boss you’re kinda wrong on the cam
Ok, thanks for your insight

@usmcchet1 sorry to inform you, but that is totally untrue. I’ve seen multiple Hot Cams spin the gear.
Still have I’ll buy it
Sold it long ago.
