The Build Begins... | 1996 RM250 

The 89' was my favorite in terms of looks.

@@madmarc yeah the 89' is beautiful

You should post a walk-around video. Would love to see it.

I appreciate that my friend! Thank you for watching!

Thank you!

Maybe... Haven't decided yet.

🤘

That's not a bad idea! I have another project I'm already planning for next year. For that one I think I'm going to auction it off.

its also what suzuki recommends you do in their service manual

Merci, Roland!

I'm really looking forward to using them.

Yes this is how I feel too. I was expecting a lot more surprises but it seems like a solid base.

Oh that's just a regular sliding wrench, and I hit the end of it with a rubber mallet

It's not so hard to remember where everything goes... Plus I'll have recordings 😁

A digital camera picture or video is your friend.

😮

Thanks man! The big bolts are easy because they can only go in one place. And the smaller ones, I can usually tell by looking at them. Or you can check part numbers and sort them by size before you reinstall them.

Hello!

Thank you Matthew! It's hard to keep track of the hours. People always ask but there's no easy way to calculate it, plus filming takes at least as much time as the work itself depending on what I'm doing. Like in this video, you have to move the camera and adjust the zoom and focus for every bolt, or change the height of the tripod, or even move the bike for better lighting... I think there's like 13 hours of footage in this 9 minute video. Without the filming I could have probably tore it down in 5 or 6 hours. Maybe less.

Is that a dremel you use Marc?

@@ha11iday95 you mean on the broken tank bolt? Yes. Everywhere else is just a drill

@@madmarc yes mate those tools are ideal did you get the bits as a set? I’m looking into getting a set myself. They’re the best for those knuck n cranny jobs.

heat expands, always the area around the fastner

@@ek.chadith5092 Heat does expand, but it doesn't work like that in the field. Try it and see for yourself. Think induction heaters and how they are made.

I only cussed after I broke those fucking handlebar bolts.

I shot this video and the last RM video with a Canon EOS M50 I recently got. All previous videos I shot with an old EOS T3 rebel

I'm building suspense!
