@@shaynebrown131Its something I came up with early on to help find the videos quicker. Like if I'm at the track and a buddy says hes going to do a top end and starts asking me questions I tell them to youtube search 1:11 YZ250 top end and it brings them right to the video. It just makes thew videos easier to find in a sea of videos.
The only thing you got to watch out for on gasket. Sealant is on 2 strokes. You gotta make sure you're using fuel safe. Because the fuel touches it in the crank case. And if you don't have fuel safe gasket Maker, it'll eat right through that s*** But if you get fuel safe stuff, you will be just fine and then you don't have to worry about buying the Yama bond. Whatever bond you, James, bond f*** who cares?Just get some.That's fuel safe and you'll be alright
I agreed to do one of these for a local track owner in exchange for riding free. It’s not as well kept as this one lol. I pulled the cylinder head tonight and noticed the intake cam wouldn’t turn freely. Exh valves are within spec but the intake has zero clearance. Decided to go to bed before going any further. Tomorrow I’ll pull the valves to see if the valve seats are worn down that much or if it was just shimmed wrong.
Ok a few things …. 1 - your Fucken awesome at wrenching and I wish you were one of my teachers when I went to mmi! 2 - thank you for doing these step by step videos ! If you could pop your face in next time to see who we are seeing wrench that would be cool! 😊 3- what kind of camera do you use to record this stuff if you don’t mind me asking?! 4- I been bin watching your channel 😂🤘🏽🤘🏽 keep doing what your doing ….- Andy
LoL. I do kinda try to keep my face out of it because I'm usually looking like a dirt bag in the shop lol. But on my latest video (CRF250 full rebuild part 2) I surely slipped my face in that one a few good times. The camera is just my wifes old samsung S7 phone. I surely need to upgrade to something better. I started this channel using that phone not knowing how things would go but at this point it might be due to upgrade. Thanks for watching Andy and appreciate the kind words. Since you went to MMI do you work on these for a living too? Did you go to the orlando campus?
Your welcome. Its a little different for a brand new bike. I actually did a video on this if you are interested here is a link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DdWL1OMpXyU.htmlsi=qXbVNvcDmVqvRsgn
Upallnight dropping more knowledge!! Whoever said that about loctite is correct. There is a company that is making a similar product that is trying to counter whatever they’re doing I can’t remember the name rn but it’s in a white bottle
Probably Yamaha YZ450. But I will say the KX450 is probably almost every bit as reliable, except for the kx450 fuel pump recall lol. But otherwise it seems to be right there with the yz450 for the most part
@@stevemx2778 KTM is not the most reliable, I run into weird issues with them in weird areas. Wires coming apart behind the number plate (way to thin wires used) and also for the intake temperature sensor at the air boot, wires just break down there and need repairing. Weird stuff like that kinda put them behind Yamaha and Kawasaki in the reliability department. But otherwise the motors on KTM seem to hold up well enough
With the built in auto decompression on the exhaust camshaft it is not easy to get a accurate compression test as the decompression bleeds off about 30 to 40% of the compression during the cranking process. But they need at least 90 PSI to start.
Assuming you been good with your oil changes you should be totally good going to 75 or 80 hours. I suggest 60 for a faster guy but even then the pistons usually come out looking well. Its more of a inspection of the lower end as well as keeping a healthy piston in there. For a vet rider, slower rider and up to about a solid B rider 100 hours is fairly safe. So you should be good to go.
Sometimes they can be slightly hard to spin by hand when installed but will quickly loosen up right after the motor is started the first time. Its pretty normal
All the? Motorcycle mechanics have to come behind you and take those bolts out with all that red locked tight on their ought to take that bottle of red and make you drink it
I share hope you are the one that has to take that fly wheel back off with all that red permanent luck tight on their only way that thinks coming off is with heat... Blue lock type would have worked just fine.I don't know why you use that red.Just makes it a pain i* t** a**Red is meant to be permanent, not temporary.It's not made for something.You're gonna have to be taken back apart at some point in the future...
Yes I will be the one removing it down the road. Yes it will come off ok with no heat. I do it all the time, daily, and for over 25 years now. No issues. I would not use or fully trust blue in high heat areas.
