Have any of you guys tried bending back a radiator yet? Let me know how it went! Just one day left to enter the giveaway by the way goo.gl/pmuSfK

I would have never believed that you could do that! I'm an old guy who has worked on every facet of dirt bikes for 40+ years; but I still am learning a lot from you. Good job.

Just saved 100 bucks thanks man.

THANKS Cam!! I was looking at buying a new rad until I remembered seeing you hammer on your radiator with block of wood on your cr250 build. It's so great to have informative content like this to turn to.

Excellent tutorial, Cameron. Appreciate the time you took to share it. Now it's out to the garage I go! (and the GYTR rad cages are on order)

very good video .. Now I can repair my radiator from my crf 450. Thank you for putting subtitles with an option in Spanish. You are a great person. Thanks and greetings

EVERYTHING looks better after the parts washer 😂

I'm glad I remembered that you made this. 3 years and five months later, It worked perfectly. Thanks!

busy restoring a 1989 YZ 250 wr ,absolutley loving your tutorials ,has helped me out so so much #southafrica

Great Idea! 💯 Your videos make me want to strip a dirt bike and rebuild it!

I just tried this on a pair of 2013 YZF250 Radiators. One was as bad as yours,it’s good now. Keep up the great work Cameron 👏

Keep up the great work on the videos! Can't wait for more!

I watched a Gary Clark video where he mentioned that he'd straightened a radiator. Never would've believed it possible but here we are. Thanks for sharing.

Very helpful! Thanks Cameron!

Great content as always keep up the good work

Keep up the good work dude! Love watching you!

Worked great for my 2004 Honda CRF250R. Thanks a lot....

please keep the awesome videos you do such a great job of them, keep em coming

i never would have tried to straighten a radiator that messed up, but next time ill be sure to try with your technique!

My klx 250 has a bent radiator , I feel confident now after watching this I can fix it. Thanks !

Good job man! Need those tips now 😅👌

Top repair job mate! I'd be happy as a dog with two tails if I could repair a radiator that well....awesome!

Keep up the good work! Someday i'll also clean my bike the way you clean it!

I thought I was having deja vu, I remember watching the other video you did on repairing some radiators about a month ago. Great job. I recently opened up some squashed radiator fins on mine with a small screwdriver, gets all that airflow doing its thing again, might want to do that to yours too.

Just fixed my radiator from watching your videos! Thanks for you help

this video helped me so much with my 250, thanks !

I just enrolled in the parts washer course. Whether I win or build my own, hopefully I won't have to clean parts in my bathtub anymore.

Was about to chuck mine out but watched your vid.Dankie

Nice work, bro!

congratulations for the video, really interesting

You cant even describe it in words how well you restore those parts, from bent and greasy and all nasty, to shiny and straight!

cameron niemela i'm brazilian i'm very happy with your videos helped me a lot in mechanics with motocross bikes i came from a small town i didn't have so popular brazilian motocross bikes thanks to you i have solved a lot of problems on the bikes that today are always working with God light up with your videos thank you so much for everything I owe you a lot

Nice job!

I watched your old video on this topic to straighten one of my radiators out last year. This was good timing - I need to straighten my son's radiators this winter! For anyone in doubt - it works! Plus, what do you have to lose? If it's repair or replace, why not try to straighten them out first? For the guy that said something about not trusting a straightened radiator out on the trail: if you pressure test it afterward (Cameron's hose trick and plugging the other lines is less formal but works), you don't have to worry about it. The pressure only gets so high, then your rad cap releases the pressure, which is when you see the steam from it boiling over. If you're racing BAJA or ISDE, that's another story...

I'm not sure why someone would dislike this video, I guess you cannot please everyone and you'll have haters no matter what you do. Keep up the great work

Thanks for the video, Mr Revive👍

what a great channel! BRAVO!

Pulled my radiator off and it is so bent, now I can fix it without buying 2 news. Thanks bro

Super happy I stumbled across this video. I thought I had to pick up a ebay radiator. But this video shows me an gives me hope. You are dirt bike jesus

Cameron 1, Radiator 0.

Dude I just tried this!!!!! Fire

Your such a big inspiration keep it up! 😀👍

Nothing a good old hamer, a vise and a piece of wood can’t fix:D Great video!

Thanks !

NOT BAD - like your videos - good you're doing this Honda now. THX for sharing! Thomas

Good job bud!

Nice work bro i have Done the same thing with good result

Excelentíssimo trabalho!

Gracias maestro. Muy buen video. Yo estoy reviviendo una kdx250 año 1991. Estoy chequeando todo y dejando el motor para el final. Estan agripados los rodamientos del cigueñal. Saludos desde chile.

Sensacional , este canal está de parabéns .

Damn! I’m impressed! I really am impressed..

What detergent do you use in your parts washer? It works awesome 👌

Love your vids!!

When translating the rhombus shape to a square, I've found that using a press or just using a drill press as a press works best. You just put the farthest corners at the top and bottom and it will square it up. You can watch the radiator slowly come into shape.

AWESOME, THANKS AGAIN!

That’s so cool how you can get something so warped to almost perfect

Good job

That's petty impressive and it's a simple procedure.

"give it a few love taps ...WHACK! WHACK!" hahaha love it!

Awesome bro!

Nice vid man

Nice Video Good Work.

I will be doing this to my left radiator on my 2003 CR125. Its not as bad as the one in video, but it does need to be straightened out.

Great Vid as always:)

woah thanks man, now i wont feel as bad trashing my new to me bike in the woods.

Ficou ótimo parabéns!

How’d you get in and around the fins clean?

He looks like handsome squidward in the thumbnail lol

KTM radiators here in Australia are average price 600.00 each ! Good Video Cameron !!

I need to save mine...thx for video so i can see how to do it

Can this be done on a car radiator and Intercooler ?

Need to do this on my CRF150rb

Love the videos. You should a course on your power washing cabinet next ;)

I remember when you posted this in like 2012 it’s been a long way

how do you fix a leak if you have one? do you just have it welded?

How long does it normally take to sell all the parts on one of your bikes you part out?

before straightening, can I pour hot water to keep it warm?

This is a repost from can this radiator be straightened a while back

I don't know how you do it... I tried it on one if my rads that wasn't even that bad after your first vid and ended up making it worse... I think I'll give it one more go

you are the best

I have been converting a 2001 YZ426f into a YZ450f over the winter and needed to fix or replace the radiators and found a set new on eBay for $80 that we’re better than the OEM’s

What do you use in your parts washer? Soap? And water?

hey guys (and cameron) i’m doing a top end on my dirtbike tomorrow and do you have any tips on installing those little circlips in the side of the piston. they are so hard for me to do. any help appreciated.

Damn, I was just about to buy the ebay radiators I might just have to attempt this cause I like the oem ones way better

How do one go about a bigger radiator?

ICW, get them braced up and they look brand new. Well worth the money. Buy a cheap pair off eBay and send them to icw.

Hey can you post a video of how to clean an exhaust and to get all the rust off of it. I am about to start a project to take apart my bike and clean all of it but I am not sure how to get the rust of my exhaust

pressure test it?
