So awesome that the headache is finally over!! Bike turned out amazing. Practically looks brand new. And for 3k?? Not to shabby my friend! Have fun on her!
I loved the comment "It's sort of a two for one thing. You get a nice new piston, and that's $500 less dollars you have to worry about"!! Man, awesome talent in the shop, with a mix of all natural sarcasm commentary! Awesome vids buddy, thank you, and please keep them coming!
I was about to go to bed then I realized that you posted a video. your my favorite "youtuber" and not becuase of the videos you make. its becuase of your unique sense of humor. keep up the great vids
Totally sick dual purpose bike bud, and meticulous re~build. I've only ridden a few times since my teens so it's been almost 30 years since I owned my last quad, a Yamaha Warrior 350. Just from watching your channel, I've been inspired to clean & organize my home shop and also getting ready for a project myself. I'm disabled now but I can still do many things, just slower & more carefully. I really enjoy your sense of humor & attention to detail and must say all the videos of yours I've watched so far have been very entertaining. The recent generator score was awesome! Anyway, just wanted to say hello & I'm looking forward to learning more from your videos. Thanks
Excellent series. Visually entertaining with great commentary. Lots of technical information and shortcuts. Thanks for taking the time and making the effort in post production to present a very enjoyable bike rebuild journey.
Nice ride, we used to break in race engines by bringing them up to operating temp then shut them down and let them cool . After several cycles of this we never had any problems. It was explained to me that all the different materials in an engine expand and contract at different rates with heat until they take a "set". Made sense and seemed to work. Congratulations on your build, nice job.
It was fun to watch all the videos on this. It seems like you spent a lot of time on the front fender but hey, being a perfectionist means you now have a perfect bike. Great videos!!!
I fully rebuilt an 06 Husky 510 to a 530 after dropping a valve. Thanks for bringing back memories of one of my favorite bikes. I enjoyed watching you do it way more and it was also less expensive that way 😂
OK, I've been watching your videos for a few weeks now and after spending an evening watching this 250/300 series - I've subscribed. Great content, enthusiastically delivered. Nice work Dude.
I started watching part 1 not knowing there would be 7 parts. Really glad there was though. This is done so well. The $200 Kawasaki Dirt Bike Project was the first of J.G. I'd seen and it was brilliant. So really appreciate that you've made all those playlists cos I can go through all the bike stuff first.
I saw a notification for this vid and freaked out. Couldn't wait to see all that hard work pay off. The bike looks immaculate because you put all that extra time into it. No half assing here!!
I just got done watching a couple of your series. I'd like to know if you live near the Nebraska panhandle, but understand if you want to keep your location a secret. I also have a few old projects that I would love to get going like you do. You are doing a great job. I love that your family helps you out. God bless you. Keep fixing that junk!
wooo hooo wife watched this I got the go ahead to keep buying and doing up bikes, love your channel all the way from australia, your a bloody ledgend mate!' :-)
Great job, really enjoyed your enthusiasm and all of the insights you pointed out along the way such as the detective work and what I can also look for in a used/abused second-hand purchase.
That worked out quite well for you. Glad to hear it although I think the pride in workmanship and knowing your vehicle in a way most don't understand is worth so much more. Enjoy the bike my friend. I'm glad as a new subscriber I chose to go back and watch it.
The smoke isn't even from the rings not sealing. when you rebuild a motor there will always be oil that isn't even residual. you may not even see it or even wipe it off.
Just found your channel and spent over an hour watching.... Does your wife have a single older sister with the same temperment? You are great, you wife is great and videos are fantastic... thanks for the education and laiughs
WELL DONE. I love that sigh of relief. My bike is not too far behind so we will see if I can get the same reaction.. (The celebratory wheelie was nice too!)
It's a great feeling, and you'll get it too! I was really nervous doing the video but it was a rush of relief when I got back in the garage after the ride and saw the clear exhaust and smooth idle.
Ouch, I can't believe that Jennie was giggling at the first start/clutch dump/stall. OK, yes, I can believe it. It was highly anti-climatic. Congratulations on another excellent build. Keep the vids coming and we'll keep watching. Thanks for tubin'. Randall
awesome.. nice work... is it me, or just the way the mic picked up the bike sounds? Or is that engine really rattly? Can hear the engine more than you can the exhaust when you rev..
Believe it or not, do not break it in "Easily" you actually wan't to get out and floor it a few times because you want the Compression to force the rings against the cylinder walls and wear the rings into the cross hatching. Other why's if you do the Easy Break it will just prolong the break in process and it will glaze the cylinder walls and always will smoke a little. Be hard on it for the first few hours.
I was worried after pushing it on that first ride, but I read a bunch of stuff that said what you mention, so I think it should be good. It makes sense too, get those rings seated quick so fire doesn't blow past.
That's an endless subject, just like motor oil holly wars. Either method has positive and negative testimonies. But only one is manufacturer recommended.
I've just binge watched this build series and really enjoyed it. The bike looks great and runs well too. I can't believe what the ham fisted previous owners did to it though. Brutal.....
Love all your videos man keep it up I checked your channel daily for the next video, Nice to know that you don't have to be a teenager to run a successful RUclips channel keep grinding man
Information from an old fart motorcyclist that can help in future restoration projects. A simple thing about the smoking you noticed while doing some wheelies. The past owner(s) had some mental problems and the engine did burn oil. Some of the oil did not totally burn and was thrown out into the pipe where it collected. You as you warmed up the engine, it started to get the exhaust pipe hot. When it got hot enough to burn the old oil, it did. I'll bet the longer you ran the engine the hot pipe was able to clean itself out and the oily residue. A good longer run and I'll bet it stopped smoking.
Coming late to the party. Watched the whole series and loved it. Couple quick questions, heli-coil on the stripped out bits would seem like a better option to me unless i could learn something here... Stickers, I have good luck with heating them up really good, then apply a little pressure to the corner and when it cools to just the right temp the whole thing peels adhesive and all. I also live in az so in the summer i just put the parts outside for an hour then peel in the shade. It takes practice but greatly reduces the amount of acetone afterwards. Well done though!! Cheers!
Nice job, on your bike. I just purchased a used 2009 TE310. My bike has been well looked after and serviced regularly. Hopefully I wont' have any major mechanical work for a while. I am thinking of getting a set of black plastics, there are some very nice decal kits out there for this Husqvarna model.
Break in I have found is to rev it high and low many times but never sustained for at least the first 250 to 300 and then only at a little longer each time. Until 500 miles or so and change oil the first 250 miles and them at 500 hundred miles and then at regular intervals as required by manufacturer. It will use oli at first till the rings seat up and a little smoke is normal.
I think it's best to break in the rings running it at a steady RPM, with load.. then higher steady RPMs with load. Then a low RPM with a steady speed and load. Last, ride if fast, stay in one gear, and get off the throttle with no brakes and kinda to an "engine brake" it'll bead the rings in nicely
Horsepower Garage I'm not saying stay at a steady RPM for a long period of time. raise the RPM then do it at a lower RPM.. all with a mild load. the first ride with the new engine sleeve and piston was so harsh on a new top end
Do you still have this bike or did you sell it? I just bought a 2010 TE250 with the power up kit. The guy that owned it before me was a mechanic and he seems to have taken very good care of it. All of the bearing seem good, the bike handles well and the engine runs great. I think when I put her away for the winter I'll clean and re-grease all the bearings.
Also I use marvel mystery oil when assembling a new engine and valve train so I do not have to worry about scorching anything before oil pressure gets started.
A hard break-in w/ varied rpm for the first 20-40 miles is highly recomended. Proper ring seal is essential early on. Take er home, change the oil and filter then ride it to your hearts content between reg oil/filter change intervals. I tend to always break them in hard.....just how your going to ride them, change the fluids/filters early & have never, ever had qny issues whatsoever.
Dude that is a beauty. Great job man. your quality and know how is 1 of a kind. You should do a bike give away. Id even buy that bike from you. I wish I knew what I was doing because you make it look like a lot of fun.
Dude you've got an amsoil box full of parts but put the shittyest oil the make from Walmart in. With that I get break in oil for seating rings. I hope that's not the regular oil or it wont last long. Great video series. I enjoyed watching.
Looking for a wr 250 or wr450 in good condition. I find 450f all day, but thats not what I want. Looking at $ 2000 or less. Can get 450f for $2000 for 2004-05
i dont know if dirtbikes are different but according to car manufacturers a hard break in is bad.. they all say not to go over a certain RPM for a few hundred miles and to vary RPMs and not to go a steady speed or use cruise control .. it might be a myth with dirtbikes too but i dont know. engineering explained has a video on this subject
Freaking awesome man!!!!!!!! all i need is your set of special abilities... and a project... hahaha (including the patience) keep on going. i love your videos!! you are great!!!!
Cool project. Enjoyed watching it. Wish it would have been an XR650R (I am currently bringing one back to life after many years of abuse by the previous owner)
your smarter than an average bear ! basically anything you touch will be a success! nice job bleeding the lines! my DS bombardier needs bleeding each oil change.
I would say with all the work and new parts on this bike it is worth 3500.00 all day long or a good investment for your own use for years of serviceable work to come. Well worth every penny spent, if you ask me.
So awesome that the headache is finally over!! Bike turned out amazing. Practically looks brand new. And for 3k?? Not to shabby my friend! Have fun on her!
VroomVroomDana Hi danaaaaaaaaaa!!!! Tell joey to stop being a bitch 😂😂😂😂jkjk

You pretty much posted the comment I was just typing, so I'll leave it at this. haha
Thanks for staying up late, I really need a faster internet connection, it took almost 6 hours to upload
Jennies Garage I can’t even upload a 2 minute vid
You're*
I'd buy your te250 without thinking twice.
thanks!
Jennies Garage I’ll give you $6000 cash
250te buy 50000 cash
You can't watch one you gotta watch the whole series nice job Jennies Garage

get back out there man, keep at it you can do great things.
This has to be one of the best rebuild series I've ever seen, in the history of history!
Excellent series. Visually entertaining with great commentary. Lots of technical information and shortcuts. Thanks for taking the time and making the effort in post production to present a very enjoyable bike rebuild journey.
Excellent work, went through whole bike and got rid of the issues for sure! Upgrade on the cylinder is awesome too
Your respect for the repairs you do and the people that may end up repairing them in the future is refreshing! Thanks for sharing!

Do you think those 1500 miles are genuine? It seems to have had a lot of ‘work’ done in such a short period of time.
Great video, thank you. I am working on a CR80 rigjht now and this has given me the extra umph i needed.
Loved your work in Fight Club and American History X... great stuff!
Dandi Fra lol
You're too kind, and thanks for not mentioning death to smoochy
You dont even mentioned Walking Dead? Rick is awesome :D
It was fun to watch all the videos on this. It seems like you spent a lot of time on the front fender but hey, being a perfectionist means you now have a perfect bike. Great videos!!!
Just got done watching your entire series in 2x speed. Thank you for these videos. You and your wife are great personalities.
I fully rebuilt an 06 Husky 510 to a 530 after dropping a valve. Thanks for bringing back memories of one of my favorite bikes. I enjoyed watching you do it way more and it was also less expensive that way 😂
I flipped out when I got the notification for this video 😀😀
Thanks, hope you enjoyed it!
Man, I had been waiting to see it run since you posted the last video! Great build!
sorry it took so long!
Tuned in just for the shorts. Not entirely disappointed.
Excited to see up and running! The wheelie was a nice touch!
there should be more to come too
OK, I've been watching your videos for a few weeks now and after spending an evening watching this 250/300 series - I've subscribed. Great content, enthusiastically delivered. Nice work Dude.

a great video before bed, looks and sounds great.
Thank you sir, I'll try to get a ride video up soon.
Congratulations on finishing the build!! Amazing bike and is probably very fast! A 300 would probably be the only four stroke I'd ever own.
A youtuber that actually responds to comments, wow
What a sweet bike. Congrats on the flawless startup.
Glad to see it ran well!!! Now we need more of these videos !!
I saw a notification for this vid and freaked out. Couldn't wait to see all that hard work pay off. The bike looks immaculate because you put all that extra time into it. No half assing here!!
Thanks, I was determined to not cheap out on this one!
don't be afraid of a hard break-in. put it under load and keep the RPM's varied.
Finally a smart comment on engine break in, that's how I was always told to break in an engine and it hasn't failed me yet.
can someone elaborate "put it under load" please.
@@rujalshrestha7443 Actually driving it and puting it in higher gears instead of reving it in neutral or letting it idle...
I just got done watching a couple of your series. I'd like to know if you live near the Nebraska panhandle, but understand if you want to keep your location a secret. I also have a few old projects that I would love to get going like you do. You are doing a great job. I love that your family helps you out. God bless you. Keep fixing that junk!
wooo hooo wife watched this I got the go ahead to keep buying and doing up bikes, love your channel all the way from australia, your a bloody ledgend mate!' :-)
So glad I could help now go buy some junk!
Great build series, couldn’t stop watching!
Great job, really enjoyed your enthusiasm and all of the insights you pointed out along the way such as the detective work and what I can also look for in a used/abused second-hand purchase.
Glad to see it's all back together and running. Now go enjoy it!
looks great man! looked like an afterbirth when you brought it in ,hats off to ya
That worked out quite well for you. Glad to hear it although I think the pride in workmanship and knowing your vehicle in a way most don't understand is worth so much more. Enjoy the bike my friend. I'm glad as a new subscriber I chose to go back and watch it.
The smoke isn't even from the rings not sealing. when you rebuild a motor there will always be oil that isn't even residual. you may not even see it or even wipe it off.
Good point I put on a lot of gear oil and grease throughout the assembly so it could have been that burning off.
@@jenniesgarage definitely no big deal
Just found your channel and spent over an hour watching.... Does your wife have a single older sister with the same temperment? You are great, you wife is great and videos are fantastic... thanks for the education and laiughs

I didn't even know what I was doing putting it in gear there!
awesome.. nice work... is it me, or just the way the mic picked up the bike sounds?
Or is that engine really rattly? Can hear the engine more than you can the exhaust when you rev..
Snitchy1989 my uncles 450 did the same thing after rebuild it eventually went away we had a mechanic
I think some of it is the mic, but yes she's kind of a a rattler. Lots quieter than before though.
ahh, but still.. Done a beautiful job on her buddy :)

That's an endless subject, just like motor oil holly wars. Either method has positive and negative testimonies. But only one is manufacturer recommended.
I'm nervous too....nervous about seeing the final videos of the 1973 Shasta restoration :)
This man is totally awesome watched the whole seriers man I swear your like a tv show, just promise one thing
Dont stop making these videos in addicted to them!!!!
Great video series, i hope we get to see some riding as well.
that's a sick bike! I love the simplicity
Thank you for all your video's I've learnt so much watching them. Keep up the great work
Glad you enjoy them, thank you.
I enjoy watching your videos. Keep them coming.
That was fun to watch the whole husky build that was nice hope it runs good for you
congratulations ,you deserve much credit
I've just binge watched this build series and really enjoyed it. The bike looks great and runs well too. I can't believe what the ham fisted previous owners did to it though. Brutal.....
Love all your videos man keep it up I checked your channel daily for the next video, Nice to know that you don't have to be a teenager to run a successful RUclips channel keep grinding man
yeah It's a tough life tryin to keep up with these youngsters
Jennies Garage truly do love your bike restorations though keep it up
Can you bring a new meaning to "A job worth doing is worth doing right"
Congrats for all the hard work !
Spectacular job on the bike. Thanks for the video.

The only problem is it's not a 2stroke!
was so happy when this video came out! does it sound a little rattley to you? may just be the videos audio
Nice job, on your bike. I just purchased a used 2009 TE310. My bike has been well looked after and serviced regularly. Hopefully I wont' have any major mechanical work for a while.

It will use oli at first till the rings seat up and a little smoke is normal.
you got some talent my friend great job on the bike
You never mentioned what happened with the kickstarter.
I think it's best to break in the rings running it at a steady RPM, with load.. then higher steady RPMs with load. Then a low RPM with a steady speed and load. Last, ride if fast, stay in one gear, and get off the throttle with no brakes and kinda to an "engine brake" it'll bead the rings in nicely
You never break in an engine at a steady rpm, always vary load and rpm a lot the first couple hundred miles avoiding prolonged high rpm.
Horsepower Garage I'm not saying stay at a steady RPM for a long period of time. raise the RPM then do it at a lower RPM.. all with a mild load. the first ride with the new engine sleeve and piston was so harsh on a new top end
Dang get it! Best way to break in is hard to put pressure on the rings to seat them.
Me doing hw. YT: New Suggestions. Me: Oh a 6 part series!
It turned out real nice good for you.
Do you still have this bike or did you sell it? I just bought a 2010 TE250 with the power up kit. The guy that owned it before me was a mechanic and he seems to have taken very good care of it.
All of the bearing seem good, the bike handles well and the engine runs great. I think when I put her away for the winter I'll clean and re-grease all the bearings.
Yes I still have my TE, sounds like you got a nice bike!
Great Rebuild... 1 Comment: Don't use car oil on a wet clutch motorcycle... Oil needs friction modifier!!!! Car Oil doesn't have such!!!
Rotella T
I just brought a te250 it's a good thing
Also I use marvel mystery oil when assembling a new engine and valve train so I do not have to worry about scorching anything before oil pressure gets started.
I thought about picking up a 2008 with 1300 miles on it but parts are really hard to come by so I’ll stick with my 2008 WR 250
Lo felicito, fué un gran trabajo!. Pronto vendrá la recompensa!
Nice vid, you've done a good job on that bike!
A hard break-in w/ varied rpm for the first 20-40 miles is highly recomended. Proper ring seal is essential early on. Take er home, change the oil and filter then ride it to your hearts content between reg oil/filter change intervals. I tend to always break them in hard.....just how your going to ride them, change the fluids/filters early & have never, ever had qny issues whatsoever.
best part was Jennie laughing when you let the clutch go in gear...lol
Great series! You have to do this again at some point. Especially after the kawasaki video you recently posted, I think this is your time!
Dude that is a beauty. Great job man. your quality and know how is 1 of a kind. You should do a bike give away. Id even buy that bike from you. I wish I knew what I was doing because you make it look like a lot of fun.
High vac pulls by engine breaking and variable rpm is the best way to get rings to seat on any motor.
Kickstarter?
That was a dope wheelie
Awesome project loved the video id buy it too that bike is sweet
Dude you've got an amsoil box full of parts but put the shittyest oil the make from Walmart in. With that I get break in oil for seating rings. I hope that's not the regular oil or it wont last long. Great video series. I enjoyed watching.
Looking for a wr 250 or wr450 in good condition. I find 450f all day, but thats not what I want. Looking at $ 2000 or less. Can get 450f for $2000 for 2004-05
i dont know if dirtbikes are different but according to car manufacturers a hard break in is bad.. they all say not to go over a certain RPM for a few hundred miles and to vary RPMs and not to go a steady speed or use cruise control .. it might be a myth with dirtbikes too but i dont know. engineering explained has a video on this subject
LMAOOO I can't stop laughing. "Gonna go seat the rings" then you take off on a wheelie god that was so funny
That's how you seat rings, you have to put the engine under load.
It's got some power!!
The only thing different I would have done is used marvel mystery oil for lubing the parts before assembly.
Freaking awesome man!!!!!!!!
all i need is your set of special abilities... and a project... hahaha (including the patience)
keep on going. i love your videos!! you are great!!!!
Cool project. Enjoyed watching it. Wish it would have been an XR650R (I am currently bringing one back to life after many years of abuse by the previous owner)
Is the backtire not in the wrong direction?
your smarter than an average bear ! basically anything you touch will be a success! nice job bleeding the lines! my DS bombardier needs bleeding each oil change.
Don't y'all forget my boy jennis can spit the coldest bars😤👌
Aw fuck jennies*
Nice work ! sounds solid looks gr8 ! Now lets get some mud on tires :)
Awesome series
I would say with all the work and new parts on this bike it is worth 3500.00 all day long or a good investment for your own use for years of serviceable work to come. Well worth every penny spent, if you ask me.
Dudes hilarious, he needs his own legit t.v show
Great videos mate.
Will you make video of how to pop a wheelie
Where do you sell your bikes. I would love to buy one off of you
Job well done sir!
