Looking awesome ,happy you were able to save it
Project 93 hopefully will go from Canadas Worst Bike, to at least a nice bike people want to own.
Thanks for the support and for the comment.
I love the new decoration on the wall you can now said you have a new oil paint painting 🖼️😉😀
Maybe I should just leave it…. Modern art ? Lol. Thanks a lot for watching and for the comment
There seems to be two themes going on here. Lots of grease, and spilled oil!
Things never always go to plan when working on bikes. But its really coming together nicely now. 👌
Lol. This is true! But seriously most bike never get greased enough. I’m just trying to make the bike last for the next guy.
Nice wall oil decoration for good memories. The Project 93 is certainly going to leave it's mark. By the looks of the oil in the shock I'd hope you'll have a video of you servicing the forks and the shock. It was one of the first thing I serviced on my 95 CR but never would've known how bad they truly were until I took them apart. Most people do fork conversion on these bikes. I personally bought some 05 YZ forks and had a local shop mill a couple mm's from the inner part of the triples and it ALL came together fine. Another great watch man
We will be doing a video later on a full service on the rear, just stuck waiting for parts mostly. But it will be an up and coming video. I do like the conventions and plan on doing a video on that as well in the future.
Thanks a lot for watching the content and the series on Project 93 it’s always really good to know people are enjoying the videos I’m trying to make. Thanks as well for the comment
Looking good. Also check out Pryme MX for Scotch Brite buffing wheels for a bench grinder and a Dremel type of tool. They are great for refinishing Aluminum parts.
I have actually used a few of them in the past, they work good. I don’t know if they work better then a normal 3M pad, but I have only used a few of them so I can’t honestly give a full opinion on the prime mx stuff.
Thanks a lot for watching and for reaching out with the comment and info
I am really enjoying the build! I raced a 1992 CR250, and this is bringing back some great memories of that time frame. Thanks for doing this series!
Well I’m really glad you are enjoying the series, I’m having a lot of fun bringing this poor bike back to life and I hope others are liking the content as well.
Thanks a lot for the comment and I’m really glad this build is bringing back some great memories. I personally think that’s probably why I enjoy building the bikes so much. Brings back all kind of funny stories and really great times.thanks again for watching
Ready for the upcoming videos!!
@bermripper sorry for the delay in uploading, been busy trying to get things together so everyone has something to watch. Have had a family situation come up and been busy dealing with that. In project 93 track record we have ran into a little snag and am waiting on parts to arrive to fix the issue. None the less I’m hoping to have something together ASAP
Thanks again for all the support and for watching my content. Hopefully I can get past this and keep moving forward with this build for all the people watching. Sorry for the delay in content
Nice wall! By the looks of that oil from the shock spray you need and are going to be servicing that shock. You now have air in the unit and it won't dampen properly.
I am going to try that WD40 on my worst 92.
I am really enjoying this series!
Thanks for watching! And we have ordered all the parts for that shock. Sometimes things just happen I guess lol.
The WD40 seems to work. Shined up the worst 1992.
@narfer that’s good news. I found it worked pretty good for mine
I think you should just put a frame around the oil painting on the wall. modern art 😅
That’s not a bad idea 🤔
I like to use threaded rod to remove bearings and install them. I dont have a large vice :)
That’s actually a really good idea, I’m going to be honest I have built a lot of bikes and only ever used a vise.. but using a threaded rod a couple of nuts. And washers or even sockets the same way you would in a vise is a genius idea! I honestly don’t know why I never thought of that before.. sometimes if your holding a hammer everything looks like a nail I guess
Thanks a lot for the comment, the info, and for obviously watching the series!
Looks like something needs to cover that oil on the wall. Honda poster? Nice video. Great information
Not a bad suggestion, I’m liking that idea
Get you some "hydrofluoric" acid and mix it strong at like 3:1 or for more general use maybe 10:1 Big time saver for steel parts nuts, bolts and everything else, even most painted pieces. This is an excellent cleaning acid. Works great for plastics or whatever, just keep it away from aluminum unless you are dipping the whole part for initial clean then wire brushing, scotch briting or polishing. You can put some in a cup and dump a handful or nuts bolts washers (degreased) and like those little one's you buffed the heads on and they will come out shiny and new in a couple minutes. anything with a lot of nooks and crannies it cleans all that out. Another example, When my bikes or quads or whatever aren't getting good and clean anymore from just detergent and pressure wash, i spray it down with a light solution of this acid and then pressure wash and the thing comes oot sparkling and new, plastics and all. Pretty cool stuff. I get it from Zep by the gallon down here in the states, not sure where you can get it in Canada. A lot of commercial/industrial companies carry it. serious time saver. Oh, btw - where you couldn't clean the Philips slots, this will. Oh, and I use it in a spray bottle or in a container or even a hudson sprayer if the job is big. Even bathed down my whole truck before then rinse
I will have to look into where I could get some… I know I can get Muriatic Acid but I’m not sure if you need a chemical license up here to get Hydrochloric acid.
Thanks a lot for the comment. I’m curious to see what it can do.. lots of old bolts laying around here I can test it with.
@@Dirtbikerepair No, "hydrofluoric" acid. Acids are very different.
@@darrynruzicka2883 Well i will have to look that up... i thought it was a typo.. thanks for clarifying.
Wet sand paper and wd40 worked better than the scotch brite pad for me
I was really surprised with the results I had with just the scotch bright. I will give wet sanding with paper a try at some point for sure!
Thanks for the comment and for watching the video
Wow I knew what I was going to do today until the oil came out of your shock now I think I'll do something else 😢
Lol, thanks for the comment and for watching :)
Lmao on the shock but dude! But wait, are you telling us that after that shock just blew it's load all over the wall you are not going to service it or send it out? You will be riding a pogo stick! Also, I would bet that shock has the same oil in it as it did when it was bought new and probably zero nitrogen. That has to be serviced.
Parts are ordered to do a rebuild. We just installed the shock to move forward into the build. It’s a quick fix once the parts are all in and we will simply remove it and rebuild it in a later video
@@Dirtbikerepair I figured.
