    i am sure most of our senior members have seen this video,

    but, new members should see this.... because it does show how precise Japanese engineers were.



    ^^ that is how a REAL bike was once built

    1937 Royal Enfield 250, CF Moto 250 V5, Honda's XL250, CBR250, FT500 plus a few others.
    Note that the engine was built dry, ie no oil on pistons or camshafts bearings, no moly paste on the cam lobes.
    I may be wasting oil, but I always use plenty of lube putting an engine together.

    Too f@#$%ing good, that's why our 80's and 90's 250's kick the **** out of new cheap made supposedly modern motorbikes of these days.
