    The part requiring the most time and patience to clean on a dirt bike is the frame. But it also happens to be the most rewarding, seeing the incredible transformation one can put it through with the proper supplies. So excited to see these CR250 parts looking new again!

      Cameron Niemela I don't know if they make big gun pipes for 2 strokes but if they do use any big gun pipe as long as it is red so it matches the Honda color

    I just did my KX 250 F frame last night using Comet cleanser and Eagle wading aluminum polish in a rubber tub in front of a wood stove (I’m in the Colorado mountains and it’s snowing). The bike needed a top end so being somewhat ocd I took it down to the frame. I bought it used but it is super clean winter project.

    Ok so you you have cleaned up the frame all nice and shiny...is there a way to seal it and stop oxidisation? Do you just clean them and leave it like that...? A frame is not something you are wanting to be "pulling out" every weekend, if you know what I mean. I was thinking about some kind of sealant...? And on another topic - what are the possibilities of customising such a frame with colours...anyone tried anodizing one?

  • @eschrader

    I believe these aluminum frames have a coating to prevent oxidization. Taking it off might cause some oxidization but if you keep it shiny and nice you shouldnt have any issues and it will just get a bit dull over time. I buffed my main down frame tube under the gas tank on my 07 CRF 450R and never saw any issues

    Just a suggestion but I think a great business venture for you would be to open up a winter cleaning and tuning services when I assume part sales are slower. you could charge a fixed amount for a frame strip down and clean up as if you’re tearing down a bike. leaving the engine alone unless otherwise needed. Just a thought

    Hey Cameron if you have any broken parts and don't Wanna do a give away with them I'd be more than happy to take them off your hands. I'm a young mechanic too and your one of my biggest inspirations. Like everytime I'm not watching one of your videos I'm in the garage turning wrenchs. So stay motivated and stay litt my friend. And btw on these cr's a nice fmf fatty with a pro circut r304 sounds really nice it gives it that nice ping in mid throttle and you notice a huge difference all across the power board. But anyway have a great day and god bless

  • @novembersierra7333
