Restoration Of An Abandoned Yamaha DT 250 - Genuine Barn Find!

Its been a while since you've heard from me but that's only because I've been locked in the workshop and been hard at work saving this 51 year old Yamaha DT250 or DT3 from the junkman. Its a project that was abandoned by its previous owner a long time ago and has been lying in this small barn for a long time so it really is a genuine barn find. This restoration really took a lot out of me and there were a few times I nearly threw in the towel as doing a 6 month restoration in 3 weeks is quite the challenge! anyway I hope you enjoy this episode and will leave a little like and a comment to show your support. Enjoy.

Wow, finally. A restoration project that wasn't found in a jungle, forest or at the bottom of boggy creek. Just a straight up barn find restoration.

I know you have over half a million subscribers and I'm sure you hear this often but I can't tell you the feelings we get when we see these vintage bikes coming back to life. For many of us who are well into our 50's, we had these bikes as kids/teens. I cut my teeth on an old, clapped out '74 DT100 that I somehow managed to get running back in 1979 when I was just 14 years old. That first bike gave me the freedom to explore and started my journey into a lifelong love for motorcycles. When you started that 250 up, I got goosebumps hearing that familiar DT sound that I remember from that summer. Thank you so much for keeping that memory alive.

I don't care how long they are. I appreciate every minute of your restoration work.

When powder coating you need to make sure the metal is absolutely clean from any paint and residue from the stripper, putting the parts in the oven for a few cycles with no powder then let cool .
Then you should treat the steel to prevent corrosion underneath the coating, emertan works good on steel .Hope that is helpful to you .

After sitting through an hour and 28 minutes of this, I can say with complete confidence I would watch 4 hours of restoration. That was amazing

[johnbarker]

Struck gold with that engine, undamaged and unmolested. Great build of a classic machine.

[germanmarcos]

I´m all for a 4 hours long video. Excellent job!

[dooleys]

late eve here in yorkshire, whisky nightcap, peace n quiet, watching RRC, does it get much better than

[leewaken]

WOW! You packed a lot of day's work in this one episode. Having restored many bikes(70 Hodaka Super Rat, 69 Yamaha AT1 125, and on and on and...) in the late 80s and 90s. I have a very good sense of what's involved with the care of literally every nut, bolt and washer in a restoration such as this.
The time and effort you put in documenting(filming) these projects. As well as your editing is both, very appreciated and gives your viewers some nicely produced content. Oh, and your skills, knowledge and attention to details are beautiful.👊🏼 Thank you.

[zeiturama]

for those who are sixty years old like me, or more, and who love motorcycles and have rust and gasoline in their veins, these restoration videos like this should be at least 4 hours long,

[simonromero]
