If you press the crank, pie scribe both sides for alignment so its faster to reassemble for balance. (Pie scribe means 90% 90% 90% 90% lightly enough to see) so u can align close when re-pressed together. u have to make sure the weights aren't sheetmetal covered put a wedge between halfs but not on weights. You need a press a set of V-blocks and a dial indicator. With all the stuff I see u do its not to hard and cost effective $100 rod to a whole crank $650. O I almost forgot as bad as your rod is you have to cut pin off because you don't want scored area to get pressed through as it will groove the crank and make it junk. Most crank rebuilders use thin cut off wheel and cut through slit in bottom of rod all the way through pin. And press off pin halfs then

I fuckin love you, man. You saved my ass. I bought a 2000 RM125. Tore it apart and found the exact same issue. Actually has more up and down play than yours… insane. I was looking for a step-by-step video since everyone else just seems to make cool edits that don’t help. I really appreciate your videos. You gave me the info and energy to go split the case just now cracked it up at 11pm. Hi from Alaska… thanks again!

I bought a 91 rm125. "engine needs rebuild". When you kicked it over, you could feel something grabbing. I pulled clutch cover off, one of the springs was stretched out and grabbing the case. Someone broke a bolt off on the inner stud, and put the spring back in without a bolt! I threw a set of yz springs in and was riding it 20 minutes after I brought it home. $90 bike, $0 fix. Sold it for a grand. But unlike you I washed it up really good, I use wheel cleaner, toilet brush and sos pads. Made it look great.

I got the cylinder re-plated and got a new piston, but never put it back together. Just got back to it again and forgot how all this stuff goes back together. lol.

My 98 RM 250 crank was good thankfully but the crank bearing on the stator side was toast. Don't make a crank and rod assembly for these years. Don't know why, could only find the con rod. Wierd. Love the videos man. These old used and abused bikes are a challenge but a good learning experience.🤘👍🇺🇸

@nicholasdoneen7860 Год назад

My 98 RM 250 is a beast! I had the jug sent in to be re nickel silicon plated and I had a Suzuki powersports store do all the rebuild work. I saw the crank had heat marks on it and I asked them about it they said it was normal only to find out on the first ride after break-in that it was in fact not fine and the crank bottom end bearing took a dump. 😂 so I got a free rebuild from basically top to bottom after they finally found a bearing after like 6 months.

I have found when buying a bike one of the important things you should look at is the frame rails make sure that they are straight and not all dinged up

@christopherknee5756 2 года назад

My brother's first bike was a used Suzuki 250 street scrambler. My brother stripped it down and re-assembled each part getting everything back into specification. When setting the rear wheel alignment, we went according to the ruler stamped onto the swing-arm. My brother takes it for a ride but comes back saying the bike is pulling to one side. When my brother rode straight away from me, it looked like the rear wheel was not inline with the front wheel. We tried ignoring the ruler on the swing-arm and it got the riding better or straighter. However, the rear wheel wasn't straight according to the swing-arm ruler. Something had to be up! Then one day, my brother had the gas tank and the saddle off and I was standing behind the bike. The large main "back" tube of the frame (under the tank) was skew relative to the rest of the seat frame! This damn bike had been in an accident! No wonder we couldn't get it to ride straight! So takeaway is: check to see all is straight before buying.

A tech tip get a piece of cardboard put holes in it put your bolts in the holes label them with a marker, you can even put them in a pattern like they come out of the bike and get them back in the right place. Makes it easy.

I don't know where you sent that crank off to but I bought the rod kit I got only costs $80 and the guy I let rebuild it only charged $200. I had the option of going to Independence County Off Road and rebuilding it myself for free there because they didn't want to charge me since they weren't a Suzuki dealer and didn't want to be liable for it. Which was really cool of them. But since I don't know how to true them I just took it to a guy here in town who rebuilds dirtbikes professionally. $200. I live in Batesville AR btw. I figured you'd wonder what Independence County Off Road was lol.

@DAHONDABOII Месяц назад

I like your videos. One suggestion if you can’t find a new casing gasket measure the old one with a micrometer and make a new one out of gasket paper. Also dry ice works the best for shrinking bearings, should be able to get some at a welding supply store. You could also put the casing in the oven at 150. Otherwise good job.
