Well I'm glad I could give you some motivation towards getting your bike back up and running again, the way it should Thanks a lot for the comment and for watching the video. Note : You might want to read the install guide that comes with the piston you are buying. It might ask you to drill small holes in line with the exhaust bridge to help with lubrication. some brands do ask you to do this (just incase you didn't know, also depends on your bike)
Thank you sir. Very professionally done and the way it should be done, if possible, on anything you maintain. Nice clean bike and nice shop, I'm jealous. I have both 01' cr125 and cr250. A complete frame down rebuild would be fantastic. Any year of any brand to be honest just for technique. If only information like such was this accessible at the time this bike came out. You have a good thing going here. Best of luck on your channel.
Thanks a lot! I’m glad you enjoyed this video. I have a few builds on the channel. The 2002 cr250 build and my 2004 cr250 build. If you haven’t already check them out There should be playlist of each so you can follow the builds along. Thanks again for the comment and for the encouragement.
The biggest thing is looking for play .. and the side to side play has a tolerance. You would have yo check a service manual to know what that is for your bike. I’m sure one day I will get a bike that needs a bottom end. But I dont have one right now to make a video on
Thanks for the comment, editing the videos are still something that I have to get better at, I actually did lower the audio a bit for the background music. I will try to keep improving. Please don’t hesitate to let me know if there anything you are noticing. If you notice something then other people probably do too. Thanks again I hope I’m able to keep getting better at this video thing so people can keep enjoying the content
@@Dirtbikerepair Eh, you're doing great. It's a weird combination of skills having someone that's very mechanically inclined along with someone that knows how to use editing software. lol You'll get it!
great video, I have a question about the exhaust bridge on the cylinder and the area that the piston make contact. I thought that you had to drill oiling holes in the piston to help lubricate the exhaust bridge. Or does the Honda not require it to done
There is a lot of talk about drilling holes.. I personally have never drilled holes in a OEM piston. The way I see it is like this.... Honda is a multi million dollar company, they spend a lot of money on research to build the best bike they can. If they wanted holes in the piston they would put them there. Some people do like to put holes in pistons trying to lubricate the exhaust bridge. If I was using an aftermarket piston that was not cast.. maybe. I would see what the piston manufacturer recommends. and if the company that makes the piston says it needs holes i would add them I know on my CR500 I have the piston drilled and its a Wiseco piston. in my 2001 cr250 I do not, its a Vetex Piston.
Might need to change your music now and then..".Xmas not" song worn thin for me...don't use music while talking...us adults don't need it..jus great information your providing 👍 I'm jus say'n, Flodaddy ❤
Thanks for the comment, Music is probably the hardest part I have found with making videos. There is only so many songs that you can find that are “free use” I can’t just use an AC/DC song due to all the copyright stuff. I will see what I can do. I appreciate the feedback and the people’s input. Thanks again for watching.
Thanks a lot for the comment, and that's a really good idea for a video! I will try to get a video of what i look at when buying a used bike asap. basically whether you are buying a bike or just riding a bike... there is a bunch of things you should look at that are really similar. parts ware out and things are broken on almost every bike i look at to buy. I have a before you go riding overview that might hold you over till i can get the video you want finished ruclips.net/video/RUHBpS61pmQ/видео.html
Thanks for the comment. I will look into that. I’m pretty sure it only seals if you fit it in one way. But definitely will double check. Thanks for noticing if I did mess it up. It’s possible
So screwed up you buy a bike and 8 hrs later it’s sitting on a bench getting a new top end. Especially the prices these bikes are fetching when they are supposedly all rebuilt. Had the same stuff with my 06 I just bought. Not a top end but carb slide and other miscellaneous stuff.
I know with the price that the "Classic bikes" are reaching it diffidently can be frustrating, especially if it is not what it seems... Hopefully I can show people that you can make an old bike more then awesome with my builds, and show people what to look for and expect when buying used bikes.. If a person tells me that the bike has a new Top End... I'm always a bit scared of what that means... sometimes people might simply change a piston, but really the bike might have needed a Cylinder..
@@Dirtbikerepair or they say it’s got 12 hrs on it with an he meter 🤦♂️. You can put an hr meter on whenever. You really gotta check the bikes and make sure it’s worth it.
I'm the owner of the bike i trusted the guys build. Happens. Overall got the bike for a good price and my grandfather bought it for my cousin. So it holds weight in my heart
You diffidently can do it in the bike, but its a lot easier to film and clean the engine on the stand.. it also allows me to have the engine out of the bike incase anything happen to fall into the bottom end.. I personally find it a lot easier to work on this way.. but to each there own.. if you like doing in working around the the rest of the bike that's good too
ORDERED THE TUSK TOP END KIT WITH A WIESCO PISTON FOR MY CR250R.
YOU MOTIVATED ME 😂😂❤❤

Keep 'em coming!! Fun to watch. Thanks!
Thanks a lot for the comment, hard this time of year but we will do our best to keep content coming. lots of projects lined up for the channel
Awesome channel,love the Honda stuff,you’re one of the best out there
Thanks a lot for the comment and the support. It’s really good to hear people are getting something out of the videos.
Agreed
Loving your videos. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the comment and the support. It’s good to know that people are enjoying the content
right to the tee! Mint work.
I’m glad you liked it.

Great video. Thanks!
Thanks for the Support! its nice to hear that people are getting something out of the videos.
Thanks for touching on how to test the bottom end...appreciate it!
The biggest thing is looking for play .. and the side to side play has a tolerance. You would have yo check a service manual to know what that is for your bike. I’m sure one day I will get a bike that needs a bottom end. But I dont have one right now to make a video on
Nice video bro 😍😍👍
Thanks a lot for the Support, it never gets old hearing that people are enjoying the videos.. hopefully i can pumping out videos that everyone enjoys.
Good improvement on the background music not drowning out your talking!

@@Dirtbikerepair you do have a good point
Nick that's a great idea i should try that one time.
Sick brah matt told me to sub
Well thanks for the comment and the sub. Hope you like the videos

Got into dirtbike recent. I saw a 125 near me on sell, but do not know what to really look at. Would be great if you could make some videos on it!

Your rubber gasket is upside down. There is a notch in the rubber that goes up for the power valve cover.
Thanks for the comment. I will look into that. I’m pretty sure it only seals if you fit it in one way. But definitely will double check. Thanks for noticing if I did mess it up. It’s possible
That's what I'm saying. It only goes in one way, directional. You have it upside down.
I Have the same bike. My piston looked exactly like that piston, the side all damaged up
When they go it can look like a lot of things.., odd it was so similar. Did you have a broken ring on your piston too ?
You forgot the dowels on the head
Not exactly sure what you mean. There are no dowels in the head on this model
👍🏍
👍🙇♂️
How on earth did you find that OEM cylinder
You can find them, a lot of searching and eBay can help with that… just finding them at the right price.
Could you rebuild my 2003 cr 125
Lol, I’m sure I could…. But really depends on where you are located.

Why would you take the whole motor out to rebuild the top end ? That's kind of a waste of time 😂
