great video Dale. back in the day I used my mother in laws kitchen table for jobs like this when I didn't have access to a garage. That penny trick is something I will pass along to my son Your videos have got me addicted. thanks again
Thank you, my friend, mother in laws tables were good for a lot of things, think I may have rebuilt even a car engine, well maybe on the kitchen floor. Thank for hanging out in the shop with me.
Another great video Dale. I used to be overwhelmed when looking at a bottom end cracked open, but now, it's all starting to make sense and I have you to thank for that. I can't believe someone would give you a thumbs down. As the saying goes, "what someone thinks of you says more about them than it does about you.", so there! I think you're great and I'll share your channel with any and all like minded people. Hang in there Dale, keep doing the good work and the word will spread.
Gigi always has something good to say, thank you for that sister. Yes, everyone is entitled to their opinion, I suppose. I am only assuming it is the same person each time. It really doesn't matter in the big skeem of things. If I don't know what I messed up on, how will I ever debate it or change it. Think I will take your great advice and just keep on, keeping on.
Hey Dale, another Masterclass. Your videos are about as good as it gets and something to aspire to. I'm always more than happy to plug and recommend the stuff you do. Best wishes, Dean.
Guy , you gotta go full polish on that old-school Suzuki S on the stator cover, it's just begging to be done, it would be a really nice touch in my opinion.
each to their own not everyone has a mechanical mind. i rebuilt one of these bikes when i was 13 years old for someone who took it apart and could not figure out how to get it back together. so it brings back memories. now that i am 56
Thanks so much; I bought an early "78 RM250, runs good, but sounds a bit noisy to me. I think I will do a new rod kit, just to preserve the bike, and freshen the top. I haven't done a crank case split in many decades, so this is a great refresher course for me! Thanks again!
Hey, you are welcome cubmancan, glad to have been of service. I still have the top end to bore and fit, that will be coming soon. If you have been in to these type of bikes in the past you will have no problem with your repairs. These are one of the most straight forward set ups. Just subbed your channel. I will take a look.
I had one of the first C2 out, I use to work at the Midwest Suzuki warehouse. Also had a RM125m had parts for a lifetime on both my RM's, just sold them last year
Love your work Dale. Can you do an episode on how you keep your workshop so organised and clean? Also how you organise your incidental bits and pieces and the best way to restock Cheers
Oh wow, my friend I am far from organized, I am super happy that it appears that way. I just try to keep my work area clean and put up. This was something I learned in the military. I keep a few parts but seems like I am always ordering something I need. I will keep this in mind for a future video. Thanks
Nice job Steve, boy those Kawasaki's sure are hard to find parts for. They are the slowest going project here at my place, because of that. Best of luck my friend.
Need to be wearing coinciding shirt when working on each manufacturers brand bike. Hence wearing Yamaha shirt while working on a Suzuki 😖. Its the little things that will show your detailed care. I'm jus say'n, Flodaddy ❤
Hey Mike, in a perfect world as they say! Most days I don't have a clue what project I am working on till I get out there and look and see if I have all the parts and equipment. Some videos take days to do, so who knows what shirt comes up next in the drawer. I wish I was that organized. Thanks for hanging out with me.
Thank you, David, kind of makes me blush though. I don't claim to be a pro, I just enjoy the work and try to do it right. Lots more to come on this bike, hope you will stick around for it and all the other projects I get into around here.
