All that hard work is paying off, well done.

All kinds of EPIC in this episode, Perfect!

You're getting good at restoration ! Thanks.

Nice to see my bike striped down and been rebuilt ,you make it look easy. Wish I had your knowledge doing a great job see you next month can't wait. 😊😊😊

For bearings (like the cam bearings), it can be worth using assembly lube. A very thick sticky oil to protect the bearings until oil pressure builds up.

Great video, really enjoyed this. My first bike back in 1981 was a 250n super dream and I absolutely loved it so loving this restoration…

Can’t believe how well the bike looks ,l would of skipped it well done, looking forward to the next episode 👍🏻

Good job on the crankcase covers.

Wheels bearing can be done with the simple application of a raw bolt. Through the centre of bearing.expanding the raw bolt and knock out bearing from other side.

Its coming together like a dream , a super dream pardon the pun 😂, great upload

Wow look how far you’ve come from the days on your driveway. Greetings from Ibiza. Still can’t miss an upload even when on holiday.

I absolutely enjoyed this episode! I can already see the bike when it's fully restored and it's going to be absolutely mint 🏍 You're top man! 💪💪

Fantastic bud great video

Looking good cant wait till bikes finished

I just want to see it run. Thanks for the footage, great content.

Fantastic content again. Thank you very much.

Brilliant well done..be a great bike when done.

Either buy some assembly lube or mix oil/grease 50/50. Those little dribbles you put on are about as much use as an ashtray on a motorcycle, first start you will get a lot of wear.

This was a great video you got loads done, well done.

Well done Rye, looking sweet as F. Your skills are improving.

Good job! whats everyone thinking the surprise is? new workshop? 🤔

Great video thanks. Don’t understand some of the negative comments. I’m sure you said this is your first resto. And if so, you’re doing a damn good job. I’ve got a 250N at the back of my garage that hasn’t run for 25 years. It’s always been my intention to restore it. Hence my interest in your vids. Really looking forward to watching the remainder of the resto. Keep up the good work. 👍🏍👍

looking brilliant!!

Get a blind side bearing puller rye

Hey bro you have to put the air box in before the shocks and the rear wheel. I am doing a 400 and I’m at the same stage as you so this content is very helpful. Cheers

Looking good 👍

Great job man .

What do you mean by saying when 'WE' snapped the bolt!!!🤘❤️🤘doing a great job 👍

Good work. However, you would have been better to replace that head bearing race for a tapered bearing set that you can buy as a direct replacement, a lot smoother and will last for decades. I did that exact thing nearly 20 years ago on my Honda CX. They are still fitted today.

Loving the rocky type music 😂

Looking at it from here, you could have pressed the spacer out from the other side and it would have pushed out the bearing you cut out

What a beautiful job you are doing on this bike. I owned a couple of these as my first bikes when they came out so still have an affection for them. Not sure what your plans are for the paintwork but if you are repainting I would urge you to take time to accurately place any new decals on the tank. Unfortunately I have seen too many beautiful restorations tarnished by the incorrect placement of the decals and it must be easy to get wrong. If you take care on measuring the position on your originals it will help. Someone on the 'Ultimate Superdream forum' has done this also to assist others. Its really looking good!

Shouldve taken the opportunity to convert the headstem bearings to tapered roller bearings.

I hope you’ve replaced the fork stanctions.

Good work 👍

Thanks

looking rearly smart now

It might have been easier to put the bare frame onto the engine before putting the wheels and forks on 🤔,but its looking good anyway 👍

maybe the bearing could have been removed with a drift in better condition but I think most would reach for the dremmel instead, i know I would

Why was the top end removed from this engine again, have I missed something?

🏍👍👍👍

Sorry, I have missed something. What was the solution to the stuck bolt? How did you sort it apart from buying a replacement?

Hey I enjoy watching some of the content but jeeez i hope ur landlords ok with you doing this in the office space ur doing this in cuz wow that floor looks bad lol..

Spent a year restoring my dads r1200gs. Dropped a valve after 2 days of riding 🤦‍♂️

Find a 400 motor the head and pistons go sraight on you keep the 250 engine nombers and no one knows

Those engine covers are polished?

Ты молодец мужчина 🔥🦾🤘♂️🎉

blind bearing puller...

Not really sure why you stripped the engine just to clean it?

I think you're generally doing a very good job. Not really interested in seeing a wet dream resurrected as they were slow and dull to start with. Personally I'd rather see more tuning of modern bikes like your S1000R but maybe this doesn't get as many views?

😱 just slid in 😭

Best not to keep waving the camera around...

Those covers aren't polished should have used wet and dry sand paper (400 grade to start with) then scotch bright pads then polish.

wrong bearing and spacer!

CB 250 is not worth rebuilding, they were awful bikes beset with design issues.

Learn what parts are called ! barrels are NOT cylinder heads! Tensioner should be put in AFTER cam-chain is installed!

But ... Ryan. What about all the cack that's fallen into the bottom end of the engine, and in the valve guides and springs and all the rest. I mean, it's very unlikely to stop it starting, but crap in the bottom end is crank and bottom end bearing death in short order, and crap in the valve guides means top end death, again in short order. If you're wanting to do a restoration, do a restoration, please. I know, it's only a superdream, but you've probably doomed that engine to the scrap by buttoning it up as it is; for the next owner, replacing the parts that are absolutely going to die is not going to be worth the cost of doing it. The paint work on the cases looks good, but I have questions as to whether it will last - enamel paint is really bad with petrol, and you need a specific primer for aluminium. Probably wanted specific engine / caliper high temperature paint. But hey, looks pretty smart. I like it.
