- What's going on everyone hope you are having a great weekend, here is another XR250 rebuild video to make Sunday even better! In the episode I rebuild the rear shock and repair the air box which had two large cracks on the air boot. I made some mistakes and learned a ton about vintage shocks with this rebuild so I am thankful for that. Not to much more to do to this old XR after this but unfortunately I am unable to do any physical work right now due to my knee surgery I am currently recovering from. So.. It will be awhile before the next one.

This pit bike is going to be the focus of the channel and I plan to challenge myself even more on this one!
I will continue this XR250 mini series on the side and hopefully I can finish it up in 2-3 more episodes for those who are digging the vintage bike content!
As always thanks to everyone who keeps coming back for more FTF videos, and thanks to the new subscribers just finding the channel. I promise I got big things coming with this 50 build so stay tuned and see ya next time! -Mike

Hard to believe these parts are 38 years old isn’t it!? Hondas build quality was insane back in the 80s 👏🏻
I was still in pretty good shape when i was 38..... sooooo long ago now. :(
the ravedaddy haha shit I will be destroyed by the time I’m 38, 27 now with two acl tears, 13 broken bones, concussions, footpeg up the ass literally had it all happen haha I’m already paying the price, body is feeling it all now
@@FULLTHROTTLEFILMZ im getting the wheels on the EXC rebuilt today (check my vid, guaranteed to make you laugh ;) ) n then im off to the supercross track as a 60yr old noob! Never got more than 6" of air before!
Do you have footage of taking the shock apart.? Scott
So satisfying to see these old parts getting some love, hope you recover quickly man!!
Thanks so much Ulises! Recovering well, just want to get back to work already! Appreciate it man 👍🏼
Uuuuu can’t wait!!!! The work you do is awesome! Keep up the good work, get well soon!
Thanks a lot brother! I’m on it 💪🏻
Best video on this, my last thing I have to do on my 83 cr125 and I never messed with shocks on a bike. I have rebuilt several classic cars but that was before ptsd cooked my brain. This video gives me a bit of confidence, thanks buddy.
It really isn't that bad, just follow the steps and you should be able to get it done! I have built around 6 shocks now. Any questions just let me know 👍and I appreciate the comment
Good job! I will be rebuilding the rear shock for my 1982 XR500R. I looked everywhere for the oil seal but still nothing. I will probably rebuild it as you did, and hopefully, there are no leaks. Keep it up, looking forward to see the final result
Thank you, yes the parts are impossible to source but if you are lucky the seal can be reused as I did. It does not leak, it is installed on the bike and it works. Final results soon!
Has anyone found the kit or pets for this shock and could point me in the right direction?
Cleaning up nicely!
Sure is! Thanks man how is the upside down KX going??
@@FULLTHROTTLEFILMZ just savin money for parts, and still waiting for the handlebars 😪
Straight Line Cycles hope you get those bars soon, I’m also saving up for xr50 parts for my wife’s pitbike build haha
Can’t wait 😊😍🤩
Bikelife Lily hahaha
Nice one my boii🔥
Thanks a lot my dude 💪🏻
👍👍👍👍
Bro the video was great 👍🏻 but your shock assembly was not right , before you insert the nitrogen bladder into the fluid reservoir first you should fill the shock body AND the fluid reservoir with shock fluid , fill slowly ( so no bubbles form) with enough fluid so it over flows as you insert the bladder first and same when you insert the piston head last , flip the shock over so the bleed bolt is at the highest point remove bolt and insert a threaded funnel and fill half way with shock fluid , pump the shock shaft in and out while observing for any air bubbles rising into the funnel when no bubbles are visible remove funnel and replace bleeder bolt , the shock is now ready to be recharged with nitrogen ( 150psi) , the enemy of a shock absorber is air in the fluid ! Hope this helps . ps ( do not use air in the reservoir bladder as it will expand and burst from heat when riding )
That's the kind of answer I'm looking for posting this!. I'm about ready to rebuild a rear showa on a 85' ATC 250R.
wow
Where did you find the rebuild kit I have looked everywhere online 😮
I am picking up this identical bike on Sunday and though I saw you mentioned it was hard to source parts it seems you found one, any advice on where to find it?
How much air pressure you put on tank..thanks
But can you still get parts for it if you had too?
I restoring the same bike right now but I’m changing the color to the 1987 xr250r colorway
That’s awesome good luck! I love the colors of these 80’s XRs
Do you have a service manual for this bike(preferably in pdf) having a problem getting it started and comp is good and she’s getting fuel. Has spark but think it might be weak so replacing today. Also possibly timing issues but can’t find proper timing for the bike
buenas tardes líder una pregunta dónde consigo el reemplazo de mi XR250R
you put air into the shock?
how much air pressure do you put on it? This videos si amazing, thank you so much…
I put air just to displace the oil in the shock when rebuilding, then i take the air out and put 185psi of nitro in the shock when it is ready.
Do you have any pressure in the remote reservoir bladder when inserting the seal head into the main shock body?
Yes, around 40 psi just enough to fill the bladder and displace the air and oil around it in the reservoir if that makes sense
Sometimes you will need to release the pressure to fully insert the seal head if it won’t go in
@@FULLTHROTTLEFILMZ Thanks! I couldn't tell from the video if you had pressure or not ... yes, that makes perfect sense to "over inflate" the bladder, per say.
How the gas refilled.
How are you so experienced in this? Is it your Job or just your passion?
I just taught myself from other CZcams videos, service manuals, and some guidance here and there from other mechanics. I work on my friends bikes on the side but I get build bikes on my channel for a living now 👍🏼
Where's the link for the step by step rebuild?
The Hungry Hunter there is none on youtube this is the best you got
Do you have the measurements on that bladder if you were to try and replace it lol
Im sorry I don't!
@@FULLTHROTTLEFILMZ here’s hoping the bladder and head are good, because I can get the piston ring and orings easy enough lol
Bro looks like same process on how to service my old rm 125 1985 rear suspension
If it is Showa it is probably the same shock, same era
Your just trying to cheap out because those shock head seals are readily available at Rocky Mtn. and Procycle.
rocky mountain NO. Procycle maybe I didn't know about them.
Spread chemicals everywhere, that's right. :)
