Dude...Charles the same thing happened with my swingarm on my 92 RM125. I finally got it back in there with enough swearing tho. I'm super happy to see your rm back... I wasn't sure if I would see her again. Now for that 125 appearance...lol. Just an appearance.

@mxrevival Жыл бұрын

Man, I can only imagine it was a common occurrence on these bikes. Too funny, swearing, and expletives usually do the trick ha ha! Thank you, I will finish it. It’s really hard to manage the giveaway builds to a level. Everyone deserves if I end up divided with other projects. You get it! 125… that one needs to mention work but at least we’ll have a good base blueprint for some matching machines!

Looking good. That zinc plating kit is on my list. I am working on restoring an old vise that was left at my house when I moved in. That plating kit would be so nice. Also for my c10. I would be plating everything 😂

@mxrevival Жыл бұрын

You will love it dude! You know I’ll be here when the time comes. One thing will need to pay extra special attention to will be the size of your parts. The rectifier size has limitations for sure, and is only good for small parts. But there are larger plating kits, and rectifiers that can handle some of the bigger pieces you intend to do. For dirtbike stuff however, this kit is perfect. I’ll be on the lookout for our emails relating to your cylinders as well, so I can make sure they are liaised properly and perfectly 🤘

@cplandrew Жыл бұрын

Spreading it too far shouldn't hurt it (so long as the tubes dont buckle and welds on gussets hold) because the swingarm pivot is a big-ass bolt with a lot of torque that should close it back up, no? Pivot bolt looks awesome!

Double R and I haven’t been working together since the last time you saw him. He’s a great guy, the schedule just wasn’t working out for me. By the time he and I were able to connect in the evenings, I was already ready to be inside with the wife and baby. But I made a new riding buddy.

@northernninja3321 10 ай бұрын

I'm brand new to dirt bikes and rebuilding a yz250f from the frame up, stroker build, and you have the best channel for this stuff i've found! I have to wonder what effect that coating on the rad has on cooling. Typically paint has little to no effect on cooling efficiency, but from what you were saying it seems like that coating is designed "reduces temp" ie, doesn't let as much heat out. On an exhaust i'm sure that increases exhaust gas velocity (like a heat wrap). But I wonder if it reduces cooling efficiency on a rad. Also LOL'd at the "like my ex" hahaha.

This is looking great, the blue and silver just look perfect together,and the yellow plastics will just seal the deal! Regarding the swing arm bolt,what other year bolts fit the 89,as i got a 92 bolt and it was too thick😬 so iam after another for my 89 125 cheers

@mxrevival Жыл бұрын

Thanks Rick, I could not agree with you more. That yellow will just lock it all in. Your best bet to find out what other swingarm main pins will fit, would be to go to your bikes pin in the OEM microfiche. You can still at part number and compare it to others. I’m surprised they would waste their efforts on changing the pin for 92 just to go back to the old pin later. Maybe the seller of the 92 Main pin goofed up… I had specifically cross referenced part numbers in the same way using 2004 & 2006 RM250s because those are the spare pins I had. Perfect match.

The swingarm pin......i since found out after i bought the 92 pin,that they made them thicker, the pin wont go through the 89 or 90 swingarms that i have either🤔😬 thought about mayby getting it thinned out on a laythe!

@stann6868 Жыл бұрын

Enjoying your videos bud. I grew up riding dirt bikes. I wonder if the frame is designed to assist with preload and that the factory may use some kind of frame spreader for assembly. Just a thought.

@mxrevival Жыл бұрын

Really appreciate it and it’s great to have you. That’s also an interesting thought. What I do know though, is that everything fit the first two times I had to take this swingarm out. So I think the heat from the powder coating oven must be the culprit. 🔥
