  • This video is SHOCKING! quite literally as I'm restoring the rear shock to factory condition.
    PATREON If you would like to help support the channel you can find my patreon account here / rrcrestoration
    So in todays episode of the Honda CR250 restoration as said above I'm restoring the rear shock absorber. I was planning on doing the fronts aswell but there was just too much to cover and the episode would easily be over an hour long, so I've split it into two parts.
    there isn't really much to say about the restoration itself as you can get a far better idea of what's going on from watching the video so I'll leave this description short and sweet and let you crack on with the video.
    So I hope you will enjoy the first episode of the series and ill see you all again very soon,
    Enjoy

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    A new addition to my videos from now on will be a water mark and my channel name popping up in random places throughout the video as im getting rather tired of people re-uploading my content as their own i hope you guys understand.
    If you like what you see and have any ideas for the channel or would even like to donate something to restore to the channel please get in touch. :)
    And as usual if you liked the video please like share and subscribe and help the channel grow.

    I’ve never used the bullet tool for the seals. I just use the plastic bag the seal came in. Maybe a squirt of wd-40 or pb-blaster on the bag so the seal slips on nicely. Well done sir. You make it looks easy.

    The word "restore" is over used by many who think that a light cleaning and some rattle can paint do the job. Taking the time and effort to do a full disassembly, new plating, powder coating and printing your own decals take it to the top level and earn the right to be called a restoration in a much truer sense.
    Excellent work here as per usual. There's a reason why so many of us keep coming back. 👍

    Don’t forget kids! Take lots and lots of photos and notes. The angle at which that hose connects to the shock and the reservoir must be perfect! Or when you go to install it back on the motorcycle it won’t line up properly. Obviously this is pro level work. But kids don’t be afraid. Use these techniques and you can still do good work. WD-40 and solvent will do a good job. Obviously it won’t be pro level like you are seeing here👍😁But learn from his techniques they’re fantastic👍👍

  • @HalfdeadRider
    @HalfdeadRider 2 года назад

    Amazing transformation as usual! I recently restored a replacement shock for my ZX9r, not quite to this standard, but I whish the spring was as easy to remove. I had to wind out the adjuster and lock nuts as you did, but then use ratchet straps to compress the spring as I don't have the correct coil spring compressor, that was a workout and a half, getting it back on was too.

    • @RRCRestoration
      @RRCRestoration  2 года назад +2

      Haha yeah road bike springs can be a nightmare without the correct compressors luckily most MX bikes the spring isn't under pressure when you get to the top of the adjuster so as you saw makes the job a heck of alot easier.
