great video Dale. back in the day I used my mother in laws kitchen table for jobs like this when I didn't have access to a garage. That penny trick is something I will pass along to my son Your videos have got me addicted. thanks again
Thank you, my friend, mother in laws tables were good for a lot of things, think I may have rebuilt even a car engine, well maybe on the kitchen floor. Thank for hanging out in the shop with me.
Another great video Dale. I used to be overwhelmed when looking at a bottom end cracked open, but now, it's all starting to make sense and I have you to thank for that. I can't believe someone would give you a thumbs down. As the saying goes, "what someone thinks of you says more about them than it does about you.", so there! I think you're great and I'll share your channel with any and all like minded people. Hang in there Dale, keep doing the good work and the word will spread.
Gigi always has something good to say, thank you for that sister. Yes, everyone is entitled to their opinion, I suppose. I am only assuming it is the same person each time. It really doesn't matter in the big skeem of things. If I don't know what I messed up on, how will I ever debate it or change it. Think I will take your great advice and just keep on, keeping on.
each to their own not everyone has a mechanical mind. i rebuilt one of these bikes when i was 13 years old for someone who took it apart and could not figure out how to get it back together. so it brings back memories. now that i am 56
Hey Dale, another Masterclass. Your videos are about as good as it gets and something to aspire to. I'm always more than happy to plug and recommend the stuff you do. Best wishes, Dean.
I had one of the first C2 out, I use to work at the Midwest Suzuki warehouse. Also had a RM125m had parts for a lifetime on both my RM's, just sold them last year
Thanks so much; I bought an early "78 RM250, runs good, but sounds a bit noisy to me. I think I will do a new rod kit, just to preserve the bike, and freshen the top. I haven't done a crank case split in many decades, so this is a great refresher course for me! Thanks again!
Hey, you are welcome cubmancan, glad to have been of service. I still have the top end to bore and fit, that will be coming soon. If you have been in to these type of bikes in the past you will have no problem with your repairs. These are one of the most straight forward set ups. Just subbed your channel. I will take a look.
Nice job Steve, boy those Kawasaki's sure are hard to find parts for. They are the slowest going project here at my place, because of that. Best of luck my friend.
Guy , you gotta go full polish on that old-school Suzuki S on the stator cover, it's just begging to be done, it would be a really nice touch in my opinion.
Love your work Dale. Can you do an episode on how you keep your workshop so organised and clean? Also how you organise your incidental bits and pieces and the best way to restock Cheers
Oh wow, my friend I am far from organized, I am super happy that it appears that way. I just try to keep my work area clean and put up. This was something I learned in the military. I keep a few parts but seems like I am always ordering something I need. I will keep this in mind for a future video. Thanks
Need to be wearing coinciding shirt when working on each manufacturers brand bike. Hence wearing Yamaha shirt while working on a Suzuki 😖. Its the little things that will show your detailed care. I'm jus say'n, Flodaddy ❤
Hey Mike, in a perfect world as they say! Most days I don't have a clue what project I am working on till I get out there and look and see if I have all the parts and equipment. Some videos take days to do, so who knows what shirt comes up next in the drawer. I wish I was that organized. Thanks for hanging out with me.

Memories...I grew up motocross racing RM's in the mid and late 70's. Good times.
As I did....I can sure attest to the memories, the 70's were the best.
Thank you for another great bottom end rebuild! I always look forward to your videos! Appreciate all the work you do to bring them to us.
Thank you Pete!

Thanks Dean, a true gentleman you are my friend.
Great video, Dale! You make it look so easy and confidence building. Really enjoying this series. Look forward to hearing it fire up.
Hey Jim, this one probably relates a bit to your 400, but you noticed the gears are flush with each other. Firing up always is a great day.
I never miss an episode. Love the content.
Thank you John!
I always look forward to your updates Dale. Another informative and entertaining video, thank you.
Thanks Steve.
I had one of the first C2 out, I use to work at the Midwest Suzuki warehouse. Also had a RM125m had parts for a lifetime on both my RM's, just sold them last year
Oh wow, that is cool, I use to buy a lot of parts from Midwest Suzuki. Bet you wonder from time to time about selling them. Nice story, thanks
It really looks like you are the busy one Dale! Good work!
Got a lot going on.

Thanks Dale , I cant wait to hear her .
Thanks Murray, I have a lot of them that are getting close to fire up. Thats a good time.
The engine looks awesome Dale and great attention to detail, can't wait to see the rest of the build.
Got quite a playlist already on this bike. RM from a box, still a long way to go.
Sounds like rush hour in the workshop, pretty soon Dale will need a full-time receptionist/admin/IT employee!
No kidding, been pretty busy here lately.
WOW im impressed, good quality work and a good man doing it,, don't you just love it when a plan comes together, glad i watched this one...
Thanks James, just keep on doing what you love, these old bikes are pure enjoyment to me. The wife doesn't get it, but does support me.
I would like to see the "S" on the mag cover to shine.😎👌 Nice work and video Dale.
Yes, that seems to be a popular request. Thanks Mike.
glad your plugging your channel!!!
Have a 73 ts125 all done now . And you inspired me to do a Kawasaki g5 100
Nice job Steve, boy those Kawasaki's sure are hard to find parts for. They are the slowest going project here at my place, because of that. Best of luck my friend.
Great content never miss an episode
Thank you, John, glad to see you here.

You have a point. I like them both ways though. There is still time.
Love your work Dale.

@@montana2strokeracer No worries, I hear what your saying 🛵
🤩🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍👏👏👏
lets get to work Dale! LOL
Works already done Frank, just sit back and enjoy.
Hi Dale, anyone now can understand how gear box is, thank you very much.
Thanks for the kind words my friend. I am always glad to be helpful to others, hope I don't confuse in the process.
I don’t see how you keep up with all the projects you have going.
I have at least one more going now than I would like, but I think most folks like a variety.
are you going to install the sleeve on the table? would make a interesting video.
At some point, when I do, I will tape it.
Was that center a sk gasket? Gotta love a slip fit easy peasy. They don't have to be in neutral it will all work out 😃
Yep was a SK.
@@montana2strokeracer thought so
Yeah, I almost always have to clean them up. But it's better than not having any at all.
@@montana2strokeracer usually holes not completely punch is what I noticed with them. But they do the job
Great job Dale. What paint did you use on that bottom end?
Hey Don, its 2X Rust oleum
Bet some folks remove the detent instead of drain plug.
I have done it too
Here
I knew you would be. Thanks Cain
