Lol I watched the dirt fall out the bottom of the shox and thought to myself that swing arm bolts never coming out lol then the video ended glad you live with us in the real world bro love working on mx bikes :)

Remember me trying to get my swing arm bolt out the cr 250 1990 ! 😂 so much pain and anger

[@robbie7298]

@@MrFaulcon I remember it dude the language was oh so colourful lol 😂

[@Sixty7]

That was the bump rubber disintegrated, lucky it wasn't dirt or the shaft would have been rusty 🙌 will be moving along with it this week

[@Sixty7]

@Kevin Stearns New CRF450 coming next week, first thing we do will be tear it down and grease everything 🙌

[@wisetoad]

Commentary was good 👍🏼

[@MotoScrub]

If you loosen all the motor mounts it will lessen the bind on the motor and the swing arm bolt will come out much easier. 👍🏻

Nice work bro. I'm doing a 98 yz125

[@tylersvensson4468]

I mean it sucks, I would try everything before cutting but if you do cut you can upgrade it to the newer style swing arm or just get a 02-07 swing arm

[@Sixty7]

Will be having a go this week, I have had to cut a XR swing arm out before and then drill the axle out of the motor, they are not fun!

[@michaelpfistner5820]

I would like to see someone doing a rebuild actually go through the parts needed and where/how much they cost, and show a total at the end. If you send the motor out, suspension work and what is being done on them, etc

[@rockyndae7702]

Good luck with the build bro💯👊🏾💪🏾🔥can we get some subtles put in at the time 16:30 please mate😆🤦🏾‍♂️🙌🏾 next vid should be good how'd you go with that swing arm?

[@Cl4rky]

Whoever owned it didn’t like grease hey? Haha

[@Sixty7]

Standard, nothing has ever been touched

[@scottyd2262]

Great low hour bike to do !
Do you know of the best FB group to get parts for a 83 CR125 by any chance ??

[@tylersvensson4468]

Just join a Honda group or a classic group,

[@Sixty7]

Hi Scotty, like Tyler said, join all the Honda groups, ebay, market place etc, parts are rare but eventually you find what you need

[@tylersvensson4468]

@Kevin Stearns exactly 🤣 I buy pretty much everything from their. It’s a good place to get things and cheaper to.
