Change your oil filter if you haven't already I gotta use tri moto from a guy that never changed it and it would keep stalling because the oil filter was completely clogged up
Thanks for the video! I was about to make that lower guide, but didn't know about the jumping off! I do have some wider stock somewhere that I'll use instead!
the rear's are orange 10" Kubota rims from ebay with a metric bolt pattern that is just about the same at 5 on 4.5" SAE pattern, they have been powder coated black
at the time of making this video, this raider 12 had its factory clutch/brake, it worked really well until I got into very technical hill climb or crawling situations, so I have since retrofited it with a separate brake pedal and linkage from a C series Wheelhorse
@@jeffsmith350 I really don't think there's a big enough audience for me to justify making a deep dive video on that. However, I'd be willing to email or DM you some pictures with dimensions and explanations. It's not a simple retrofit, but not impossible either. This particular limited slip 10 pinion 6 speed transmission doesn't have the brake shaft in the right spot as an 8 pinion 8 speed would for the brake band to grip the hub correctly but I've got it to work good enough
I’ve been thinking about how to put 4 on 4 trailer hubs on my build. Went out to Northern tool and picked up some 1” spindles and hubs today, before I found this video. Seeing how you were able to weld the factory spindles into the new trailer spindles gives me confidence it’ll work. Keep the videos coming, nice work.
Really well made video here. Thank you for taking the time to put this together and explaining all the thought process behind it. Also very much appreciate the fact that you gave the credit to The originators. So I'm curious to know. After you've had this on and working for a few months. How's it going? Somewhere around the 3-minute Mark or a little later you mentioned dropping to a ½ belt from the OE 5/8. I can see your logic about having less belt slippage because it would be easier to move the belt but at the same time you have less area overall on a ½ belt then you do on most 5/8. Just curious to know what your impressions are. If you'd make any changes. Stuff like that. When you get around to answering me please hit the like thumb on this message or ridiculous RU-vid will never tell me that you answered...
I have had zero slippage problems with the 1/2” belt even submerged in water, I have made some minor belt guide tweaks but really nothing major for a video yet
I have the exact same model and year. It currently it is low on compression. The loss of compression began on a trail ride last February and it has been parked since. The culprit is a leaking base gasket on the cylinder. It will fire but does not stay running. Any advice on fixing it?
Well there are plenty of repair manuals out there, if you have a lot of time, patience for cleaning parts and a nice clean organized shop to work in, it can be a fun project, if not I would just sell it off
@@RonniePUBG I looked up parts on yamaha partshouse.com, then I would find the part numbers on eBay, I found a Wisco piston and try to find a high-quality gasket set and use permatex high tach sealer
You can sure tell the difference between someone with some talent and someone without a clue. Watching these videos has been an eye opening experience. You're doing quite well. Thanks for some good engineering ideas.
Nice work on this rig. Using the chain links cut in half as grab points is pretty cool. How's the transmission holding up with the flipped pinions, after 3 years?
@@kwuzil5918 for the yfm 200 rebuilding is expensive especially buying a new cylinder. So your better off boring yours out and give the shop your oversize piston so they can fit it properly before they to the work. If you wanted to use the cheaper and easier to find yfm225-250 you would have to split the engine and use the corresponding connecting rod. So long story short a yfm225-250 rebuild kit won't work. The reason is the connecting rod is too short and you would have too low of compression. If your cylinder is really bad you could find one on eBay pretty cheap.
true but this is a customer's engine and it worked out cheaper to have me replace the engine instead of rebuilding it, the parts are for sale but nobody is interested so it's going to scrap tomorrow
I had a Honda motor done the same, the water cart operator complained the start cable was broken, I put oil down the bore turned it slightly back and forth with a socket and bar until it turned over freely, put the plug back in and replaced the starter cord , it ran for months like that.
