Jimmo, you are making great progress on the scrambler. First I love the steel wool and drill bit trick, second, I never knew that it was possible to lubricate a brake cable, and third you showed the inside of a motorcycle drum brake. You taught me three things today.
Thanks so much for following along! I love the simple little tricks, too. And the cable lube tool is something I just recently bought...for years I'd make a little paper funnel around the cable end and fill it with oil, letting gravity do the lubricating. With this new tool it forces the lube down through the cable and it's super slick! It instantly got a place in my "favorite tools" drawer.
Love the video series, some quality content. I just bought my own exciter, and was curious if you had any good links for parts. The local Ohio shops don't carry much for it.
Hey, Dan, congrats on getting the Exciter! Since it's an older bike you sometimes have to hunt for parts. For accessories there's always eBay and for OEM parts I'll look them up on Rocky Mountain ATV or Bike Bandit. Sometimes I'll find the parts I want on there and then ask my local shop if they can order them for me, just to support the local shops. Hope this helps!
I am commenting as I am watching this series. I am impressed not only by your abilities for working on this bike, but the production of these video's is at the top of the best I have seen. Who is taking all the video's and editing for final outcome? Also, you like Ed Harris too! :)
Hey, kezug, I'm doing all of the filming and editing for the videos, also. It takes quite a bit of extra time to set up the camera and film everything while working on the bike, but that was part of the fun for this particular project. Helping people out and comments like yours make it all very worthwhile. Thanks!
Just saw that you crimped those connectors on the fuse incorrectly. The larger crimp should be over the insulation, and the thinner crimp is on the bare wire.
Hi Zackery, lacking a manual for the bike all specs were found through Google search. A quick look online turned up this thread (I hope it helps!): yamahaclub.com/forums/topic/35200-sr250-help/

Could you send a link for the tank? The link in the description doesn’t work.
What bars did you switch to?
Just saw that you crimped those connectors on the fuse incorrectly. The larger crimp should be over the insulation, and the thinner crimp is on the bare wire.
What's brand is that rear sprocke?
Where did you get specs for the valve adjustments?
