Pulling with the pick up all ways works

The DG silencers are horrible for performance, I raced a rode a 82 RM465 from 2009-2013- once I replaced the DG silencer with a stock length aftermarket- wow what a difference in mid-top end!

I had a Yamaha IT 465 and theres no way on earth i could use my hand to turn the engine over. If it backfired it could break your leg.I’m thinking your ideal compression is around 140-160 psi…Also a great technique i learned on starting big bore bikes…..and any two stroke bikes in fact…..turn on the gas and choke….lean the bike over till the fuel comes out if the overflow… stand the bike back up, kick slowly to compression just past top dead centre or until the compression stroke eases slightly…and THEN, give it the beans…..it always seems to work and looks pretty cool too. Good luck 🤞🏼🏁

Rare and cool.i remember back in the day every one was on a yz or the new cr 480 back in those early early 80s..which makes that 465 .rare and cool

Check out Swain Coatings. They can build your piston back up close to the size you need.

Air leaks are the sneaky gremlins on a two smoker.

Starting fluid in the cylinder head..

Beautiful build. Who did you buy the tank decals through? I have a 1982 rm80 and rm125. I’m looking for better than what I have. Bought thru eBay. Seller in Australia. Not the greatest. They are bubbling. Thanks 🙏

i got one aswell need to get it running, great video!

The real question is would the Suzukis have made it on 100 to 1.....

Is it as good as old Union Carbide in the steel bottle?

The Super Cobra Jet left out like it was on Nitrous.....

Teddy the DRAFT DODGER is a disgrace

Do you need another RM 250 ? YES! I also see a vintage full floater in the background.

Mitaka. Japanese, I believe.

Do you know that rm465 piston would go to rm400 1980

Where do you find your parts? I've been scouring the Internet for seats and can't find any.

Thank you for making the Comet videos. I have a 66 Caliente convertible that needs a lot of the same work.

Looks great! You're doing some nice work! Cool to see other people rebuilding the oldies Nice KDX too, had a 200 and 220, loved them both, but had to sell them.

Hello dave, That rm is looking sweet,real eyecatcher,looking forward to the end result........😎👍

Would have been great if Trump came out and said, " Booger."

I'm not criticizing your video bro, but you gotta look at. The fact that in many cases, most of the things that 4 engineers came up with was to make it better so so please stop criticizing everything that you see has a change for the worst. Because you don't really kfor you and for anyone that's watching that could be it. A change for the worst? What I've seen so far. It looks like they're trying to make it more efficient, so so let them show you what they have done and then make the corrections that you see, that need to be changed. That's how essenger has made. Its money is by making things different and making them better performance minded. What you're showing is doing nothing but criticizing. Everything that has been done to make those engines better. What a world of difference between me, old 2.3 Lima and a new 2.3 Lima with a dual spark plugs per cylinder that made a world of difference in that engine, so you should be looking towards what? Else can they do, but we see it today. A 2.3 l is based off of 350 horsepower plus So please stop criticizing me engine. Start looking for the good things about it. Because obviously it's a good engine because it's been used in trip. Le track racing for the last 40 years. It's not a dumb dumb engine.You just have to be smarter than it

6:53 The eternal struggle of a Ford Fan like myself. It's a true love/hate relationship with their engineers. Some stuff is cleverly designed and ingenious, some stuff just feels like the engineers were betting each other how convoluted they could make a part!

Did you hear that Galaxie squawk into 2nd.😂 That 69 GT is badass!!

I do know a guy who welds aluminum... He hasn't been cheap lately. I have some parts that I have to make yet that could go with it to lighten the cost if you are not in a hurry.

Running fat

Hello dave, That rm looks fantastic,i thought about getting some of them gpi radiators as mine are a little beat up.....they do look the part,cant wait to see it finished👍👍

Ummmm…..

I hate seeing Chinese parts going on a Japanese bike but you gotta do what you gotta do. Your doing Gods work saving those bikes. I'm working on my 91 trek mountain bike while watching this. I just think of some 20 year old kid riding it in 20 years from now.

You need some nice chevy signs in your garage

Hello dave, This is gona look sweet,youve got some nice parts to go on her........that chinese kick start looks just the job dave,i need one for my 89 rm 125, do you have a link as to where i can find one? Thanks again dave Rick👍

Looking forward to seeing this done dave,looking real nice

I remember wanting that same seat cover on my 91’ RM 250, prepping for 92&93 circuit @ Baja, Bulldog and down to Mustangs outside of Brighton!!

Looks good. I did mine with a gloss black, but then changed it to mat black. Mat isn't as flat as flat black.

You do an excellent job of getting all that an 8N has to give 😊

Love Ted's patriotism ,... but,..... adopt Jimmy Hendricks version please ., not too good here

"Promo sm" 🤗

Not the Ted I once loved 😢

What color are you painting the car?

Problem with engineers is....they are smart......but common sense is lacking sometimes. Ike no practical experience of working on anything they decide to design.. Almost as if they have a built in ftm part of their brain.

Beautiful work.

For a lot less fuss could have just bought a hogged out factory upper and knife edged lower EFI manifold from a couple web vendors, and an adapter to use a SN95 5.0 60mm or larger throttle body.

Great job😂

As long as you get that car out the "big door" it doesn't matter how you do it.

Why not just wear a cloth mask, I have heard that they are quite effective.......

Good video, thanks.

Please tell me you got a new seat foam and you did not use that clapped out one lol.
