[TheKrackDown]

[nelsontrial]

@TheKrackDown

4 stroke motorcycle engine oil

[strosse]

very nice!! my dad has one and the cdi went out :// it's really expensive to replace because that year was a specific part number :( so the bikes been sitting for like 2 years...

[HontaXR]

Excellent job !!! The plastics restoration is perfect ! I 'm going to use this plastic renew stuff on my bike too . Thanks a lot for the inspiring video !

[vortex812]

What years are dual carb?

[vortex812]

@vortex812 84

[porterja72]

Hi man I have that same bike that im currently restoring. great job, that bike looks brand new. Did you have to order new plastic or are those the originals? I ask because my plastics are in rough shape but I dont have the budget for new ones. anyways great job on the bike you should be proud.

[nelsontrial]

@porterja72 no I restored them using plastic renew and some elbow greese

[84xr250r]

Looks awesome mate

[x18superbike]

how did you restore the plastics and how did you paint the engine? Thanks looks Great!!

[nelsontrial]

@x18superbike Hey Mate I used "plastic renew" basically used sandpaper starting from a 500 grit to very fine then used a polish. The engine i used heat proof paint then baked it. Thanks

[vallesan]

great video ,,, thx .... i have a XR250R 1986 it will be my restoration project. ...

[rooney62danny]

That is one sweet bike

[crazyheffer93]

[darkofdaytona]

panget pa din baduy bulok

[steveo9997]

great video.i have the identical bike in the same poor condition.where did you find all your parts? and did the motor run when you started it? mines shot.

[nelsontrial]

@steveo9997 The only parts I got was some wheel bearings, piston and rings from the motorbike shop. Cheers

[botlebmb565]

wow great job restoring that

[Ninjatasos]

the engine is from newer model?

[zepole87]

Shouldve put a black seat cover on it.

[nelsontrial]

@zepole87 No I wanted to restore it to how it was origianlly.

[nelsontrial]

@donniekeele "Are you the walrus"

[donniekeele]

awesome restoration. what song is that? I haven't heard it in forever and after switching laptops its gone...now i want it back...

[TheLzeppelin68]

amazing, brilliant, did you do it with a haynes manual?

[mtbev]

Hey mate. Good job on the bike. We just bought an 84 model and we are doing the exact same thing as you did. Amazing how well it turned out!

[TL250Rider]

The Music is Good the Computer I was on the Speakers kept breaking up.

[TL250Rider]

This is great the Music Has to go

[nelsontrial]

@TL250Rider no the music is fine

[braaup]

@nelsontrial Yea.. I like it! What is it?

[proximxr]

@nelsontrial Yeah I love the music too :)

[BurningTirez]

awesome, i just got an 94 yesterday for 180 bucks, super good shape just needs the wiring. How reliable are the rfvc engines?

[adamshondaxl350r1985]

@BurningTirez there great just check your valves b4 u ride it the first time

[BurningTirez]

@adamshondaxl350r1985 Yeah I have been riding it for a couple weeks, awesome for trails. And yeah I did adjust the valves in it, starts first kick everytime.

[xrsrule]

@BurningTirez they are extremly reliable when jetted out properly!!!

[BurningTirez]

@xrsrule Mine has been great so far, and I mean to say 1984 not 94. Best trail bike I rode yet.

[morsagalactica]

geniuos"!"""""""""

[MrSonic64]

yeah my Uncle Greg has a Honda XR 75R he restored it. And i was wondering if the xr80 replaced it.i only have a honda xr 100 1996 model and a Kawasaki kxl 125.sadlly a long time ago the chain was loose and came and hit the oil box..

[znlambov]

Great job man :)

[gimppimp123]

that looks mean cuz u should make tha seat black and it would be perfect

[mernou23mhr]

excelente trabajo amigo te felicito me fascina la a XR

[aspect55]

muy buen trabajo te felicito, es toda una maquina.

[MECAUNO]

enhorabuena compañero, xr for ever

[Matthew27104]

I'm going to start a similar project on a 1979 XR 250.

What kind of paint did you use on the frame and engine?

Thanks,

Matthew

[KaneBeutel]

@Matthew27104 Yeah i have a '79 as well but its an XR80 i am hoping to restore it. I know the factory paint is tahitian red but thats about it. I shaved down the seat but still need it recovered and am hoping to weld mounts for single a single shock on the back eventually.

[norweskiwarchlak]

Do anybody know the name of this song?

[OGRM]

I customized my XR250 with super motard wheel's (small one on the front), new front with 2 halogen spotlights, led tail light, smaller front fender and double exaust pipes looks nicer but its completely useless if you offroad now

[carpetinbathroom]

What paint code did you do the frame please? Nice resto. Just about to start an 85.

[nelsontrial]

no idea I just took a panel into a paint shop

[NAMTRIP]

Good job on the bike!!! But that music sucks bad.

[wannabrockstar123]
