Thanks! Will have to check out that snap on tool. Thanks for the kind words! I'm a old fart too anymore lol. Recently had to start wearing glasses to work on bikes, didn't ever see that coming lol

Thanks, and thanks! Appreciate you coming along for the ride.

Same for my, I just watch and listen in my free time

Hello. Yes its a aluminum shift drum on the KTM's. Its light, but it does wear quicker than the metal ones used on the jap bikes.

For sure. I love the small bore 2 strokes. So much fun

Ahh cool man! Small world for sure! I did ok, first time racing in this class. As you know it was a little tough, people where going down everywhere lol. I did my best just to just make sure I had no stalls and no falls. And I accomplished that. Was up to about 9th place from a dead last start. Wasted way to much time in the pit getting fuel and lost some positions like crazy, ended up 13th. . Oh man bummer on your YZ250f not finishing the race. Do you know whats wrong with it? Did you get it up and running yet?

@UpAllNight91 Awesome job man!! Bodies everywhere lol!! So much fun though! First Sunday race for me as well,did 250c. Haven't got into her yet, but that is the plan this afternoon.

​@@danielyoungblood101 oh yeah, people down everywhere lol. I probably seen over 40 people go down lol. I have done a lot of the Saturday sportman 2 races, this was a first Sunday for me, since they don't hold sportman anymore. I'm more of a track rider but these hare scrambles are surely challenging and fun. And lots of skills to brush up on. Hopefully you get your bike back up and running well. Do you know yet what caused it?

Yes sir

Right on! Glad to hear its helping. Best of luck and let me know if any questions come up

Thanks!😊

Thanks. I usually buy the KTM parts from Rockymountain ATV or Motosport. And you are right, sometimes they are hard to find, out of stock, or on back order.

Thanks, honestly its been so long I cant remember but the bike is still around, next time I have it open I will check for it.

@@UpAllNight91 I since found out the oring sits inside the primary gear so you probably didn’t miss anything 👍

@@glennfern6622 Ahh that's comforting to know lol. I dont like making mistakes lol.

They are above the shift drum and below the gears. Did you get them out of order?

no

I will take some time to look into this. If its true I will surely switch brands. Thanks for the heads up

Hello. The sounds you hear on this bike is normal on these 2 strokes, yes.

@@UpAllNight91 I understand, I have a 150sx after running it in it made this rattling noise. thanks

Yes Sir

No, this motor just kinda has a vibrating sound around idle and in the shop on the wooden floor the camera captures it.

We currently have the power valve adjuster screw at 2.5 turns. Turn it counter clockwise all the way, then turn it clockwise 2.5 turns. Thats where we have it at.

Thanks for replay buddy is this adjustment for that stator sidepv adjustment or for the power valve auxiliary screw next to water pump

@@kevincowley7111This is on the clutch side, right side next to the water pump.

Thanks you so much for you help bud is there any chance you could let me know the length on the other side also on how much it’s limited to open out with the little adjuster screw if you could thanks

@@kevincowley7111 Sorry for the late response. I will check that when I get out in the shop in a little bit.

Yes. I use torque wrenches on 4 stroke cylinder heads and a few other nuts and bolts here and there. But on a 2 stroke I hardly ever need them.

@@UpAllNight91 why not on the cylinder or the head

​@baileyblount on a 2 stroke Its not super critical. Cylinder bolts with a normal size wrench is kinda limited or make it hard to over tighten them. And cylinder heads on 2 strokes are usually sealed with rubber o rings, these are not overly torque sensitive and only need to be tight enough to seal. After years of doing this work you get a good feel for the tools and hardware. There is nothing wrong with torque wrenches and they surely are needed in some areas. Some people (my brother) prefer to use them on almost everything and there's nothing wrong with that.

Hello. The oil check bolt is kinda in the wrong location. It was first spotting out in the early 2000's and I guess yamaha never corrected it. I used 750ml of oil in the YZ250 if its a bone dry motor after a rebuild. If its just a oil change then I put 700ml. Been doing it like that for years with no issues.

@@UpAllNight91 oh thanks

I have about 30 years experience. I dont have a problem removing bolts with red threadlocker on them. The key is a dab will do. The only time I have ever seen red threadlocker cause an issue is when someone completely drenches the threads and bolt from one end to the other as if they dipped it in the stuff. But otherwise no issues. I have also seen what happens when a bolt comes loose while on the track. These are track bikes being put together to be as safe as possible. Blue is great for beginners but red is best if you know what your doing.
