😮 Unbelievable Dirt Bike Restoration | 1996 RM250

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I hope you enjoy the grand finale to this 1996 Suzuki #RM250 #2stroke dirt bike restoration & rebuild I worked on over the past year and a half. It's a video made to watch all the way through, from beginning to end, so please don't just skip to the end 🙃.
So many people helped bring this project to life. Here are some of them: Suzy and Chloe from Evo-Mx supported this project with the gorgeous replica graphics and seat cover. Chris from Race Tech helped with the much needed suspension parts. Barb from Ceet Racing sent me a fresh seat foam. My friends at Breakers111 donated those cool vintage bar pads. Kevin at RWB was so kind and helped with the Wiseco & Pro X engine parts. Brian at Bolt Motorcycle Hardware contributed those amazing bolt kits. Please support these wonderful companies that supported this project:
Evo-MX: www.evo-mx-brochure.com/ & www.evo-mx.com/
Race Tech: racetech.com/
Wiseco: www.wiseco.com/powersports-home/
Pro-X: www.pro-x.com/
Breakers111: breakers111.com/ & ‪@breakers111‬
Ceet Racing: ceetracing.com/shop/
Bolt Motorcycle Hardware: boltmotorcyclehardware.com/
Additionally I want to thank Tony Blazier (‪@TheMotocrossVault‬) for documenting the history of these bikes in his unbelievable archive. I used his scans to create the mockups for this build you see at the beginning of the video. Thank you to the guys at Electro-plating Specialties for taking care of all the anodizing, zinc plating and powder coating for this and my previous build. I also want to thank the very kind and humble ‪@thetwostrokerebuilder‬ for his guidance on rebuilding my crank. Thanks to the guys at Vital for getting me the silencer sticker measurements so Evo-MX could recreate it. Thanks to my friend Gary for teaching me how to use the Tig machine and making many of the repairs possible. Also thank you to my roommate Justin for being cool with me building motorcycles in the living room.
And finally thank you to all the student activists and people of conscience around the world who have continued every day to stand up and act against the genocide in Gaza. You're standing with tremendous courage in the face of a monster. These brave and dedicated people are our only hope for peace and justice in Palestine and beyond. This video is dedicated to you.

    This is a work of art. If it was mine I would sit it in my living room and never ever ride it. Seeing the amount of work put into this, even though it's only a very very compressed amount, is just insane.

    In 2001 I bought this model, a machine without equal, no problems with it, it was light in weight, manageable, powerful, it had everything, perhaps nostalgia invades me... You have given me 1 hour of pure visual art, accompanied by good music. I told you on other occasions, you are an artist from head to toe, what you have demonstrated with this restoration is at a stratospheric level, only have one option, stand up and applaud him until your hands hurt, you have done with this motorcycle... it's magic, friend, and not everyone knows how to do it. Thank you a thousand times, a job well done must be well recognized, I don't know what your next objective will be, with your permission, I will watch this video again and continue applauding while sitting... Never abandon these works and never stop showing them... a hug, don't take too long buddy...

    Amazing restoration. Too many people "restore" dirt bikes and sell them, but this is not one of those. I bought my 2001 yz 125 for way more than i should have since the prices here in Canada are so inflated. The guy had restored it, powder coated the frame, fresh top end. The kickstart broke right away, the fins on the radiators were all mashed, and the engine blew up two weeks later. Learning experience.
