With the motocross race of the year – VMXdN Foxhill only 20 weeks away things are starting to ramp up here at DocWob HQ.
We have a 2002 YZ 250 frame in the workshop, where we are doing some prep work ready to hand back to Paul Wright and Matt Coles to build for Mike Brown to race at VMXdN Foxhill – at least that’s one build I don’t have to worry about.
This episode’s ‘How 2’ is on linkage bearings, (you can find swing arm bearings and steering bearings in previous episodes). The Motion Pro tools are impressive and definitely take some blood, sweat and tears out the job. This is the way we do it here and was something I learned from a guy called Jim Lewis way back in 1986 when I was spanner for Merv Anstie and he was working for Dave Watson. It’s served us well for 38 years!
Sneak peek at Isak Gifting’s 2023 championship-winning GasGas bike ahead of it landing in our eBay Shop.
Also, we take a look at a set of Ohlins forks which are as rare as hens teeth that we are sorting for a trick 1993 White Chesterfield
And I talk through what we do ahead of lowering a subframe – just as Brownie likes it.
Thats all for this episode, next up we have a trick old HRC Honda and a brand new Gas Gas that we are measuring for titanium, trials is a whole different world!

What ever happened to the 1987 Honda CR250 team ?
Don't know why you don't spanner one end,and impact drive the other? A lot quicker.
Doc wobble is there any chance you can borrow a Shane king KTM 550 2 stroke
for the event at Fox Hills
You don't have a vice?……or cargol de banc….in another world ..
Another great video!!!
show us you guys doing the subframe work!
This channel is great, the fabrication side of things, is amazing. Moving the subframe up or down and peg placement and all that stuff is so cool, u never hear anyone else talk about it. This is the real deal channel, what actually goes into building a winning machine. Doc wob and AJ Waggoner are the Ricky Carmichael and James Stewart of MX mechanics, hard to top them.
I had a 2001 YZ250 back in the day, that thing pulled hard!
Arbor press .
nice one Docwob – please ask for a set of ratchet spanners for your birthday – guuuu on
A pleasure watching you work. I always learn something. This time it was Mike Brown likes to feel his ball bag on the rear of the seat on downhills. Who knows if that will come in handy but now I will carry that to the grave. Thanks WOB.
