Honestly 2.9 ftlbs is nothing. I’m not breaking a torque wrench out for that😂

If You listen closely you can her his wrist click when the correct torque value is reached.

I don't even own a 2 stroke, but I need to see this.

@mrmotocross6819 3 года назад

What you also need is a 2 stroke. I grew up riding 2 strokes. I own a kx450 and a cr250r and the kx is my lazy day bike. The cr250 if alot funner to ride and takes more technique.

Watched the video very well. If you see signs of coolant flow, check the level as you saw in the video. I stand on a stainless steel ruler and shine a cell phone flash on the back. It's normal if you can't see the light.

@javinlarsen6760 3 месяца назад

Old video but only thing I noticed is when you went to file the rings you filed towards the outside, supposed to file toward the inside of the ring so it doesn’t create a sharp edge going against the cylinder wall.

@rmatvmc 3 месяца назад

Good point! I wasn't really trying to take material since we were in spec, and just trying to get the general point across. Regardless of direction I always clean up the ends when done. But yes, normally I would try to file in the other direction. We'll specify that in future videos. Thanks! -Charles

@DADSGETNDOWN 3 года назад

Heat Cycle Break in, then go ride normal? I always heard heat/Cool Down cycle, ride for 20 or 30 minutes without going passed about half throttle and without quick revs etc, then put about 3 or 4 hours on it before you really open it up. Ofcourse not only is that what I was told by a few shops but that is for much older bikes too.

@mattharrell4 3 года назад

Yeah I feel like everyone has a different take on this. I’ve done a few top/bottom rebuilds and just ride it normally for the first ride. I’ll do a nice slow warm up and then try to give it about 3/4 throttle to help put some pressure on the rings and help seat them. I’d would bet that as long as you don’t run the piss out of it you’ll be fine.

@boostedpleasure 3 года назад

I bought a 21 yz250x heat cycled then did a 15 minute low to mid rpm break in ride. After that it was straight to the race track. As of today it has 16 hours all race time. No issues.

@nicolo2911 2 года назад

is it necessary to respect a certain gap for the piston ring? If so, how high did you set it? thank you

@rmatvmc 2 года назад

Piston ring end gap is definitely a good thing to check. We have an older video showing how to measure piston ring end gap and adjust it if needed. You can check that video out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eeliqbj5DgQ.html

@ronk6073 2 года назад

Why on earth would you hone a nickel plated cylinder anyway? The plating is designed to resist wear from the piston and ring, what would be the benefit of purposely wearing the plating? Nothing under that plating but aluminum... Good luck if you wear down to that!

@rmatvmc 2 года назад

Follow the schedule in your service manual and do a regular compression inspection. It's better to regularly rebuild the top end in order to prevent the bigger and more expensive repairs. - Wes

No you didn't miss anything, that's an adjustment for 4-strokes. If you are joking with me, the comedy club has open mic night on Mondays at 7:00.... 😂 Either way I hoped this helped. Thanks for the support and let me know if you have any other questions! -Charles

Can I have a 1994 yz 250 body and build a newer motor it it such as 2017 yz motor

@mozer30 2 года назад

Great video but I think you missed a couple of very important parts. 1. Unless the engine is on the first piston change you should always have the cylinder measured to ensure you purchase the correct piston size. Using a stock piston size on a worn cylinder is bad practice and defeats the purpose, as the piston to cylinder clearance may be at the service limit. 2. I’m shocked that the squish clearance was not checked, nor demonstrated. This is absolutely critical part of the rebuild, as too greater clearance will cause far from optimum performance, yet too tight squish clearance will cause detonation, resulting in piston, cylinder, and head damage in no time at all.

@Shadow0fd3ath24 2 года назад

When doing a stock size piston in a stock engine means you don't need to check squish. it stays exactly the same. That is a completely bogus and stupid myth

@redtobertshateshandles 2 года назад

@@Shadow0fd3ath24 just compare the two pistons side by side. You should do this anyway, regardless of squish.

@charsiewestcott6419 3 года назад

You were a bit blase` about the description of using the mid driven 12mm spanner with the torque wrench. I presume 22ftb at 90 degree but use formulae when using spanner in the straight orientation. Please be specific in future, you can confuse people inadvertently.

I use EP transmission lube for assembly, I'm stingy.
