This is the bike I would love to own. You can't ride on forest roads unless it is licensed. That might make a difficulty. But I rode this bike back in the day and it was like riding in a comfy rocking chair. Even in a rock pile. So yah Joe, tis a goot vun.

@mikehudg2209 Год назад

Very cool 😎 I owned and raced a 94 yz 250 back in 93/94 [ got the 1st 94 in Minnesota late 93 it was a great bike !! For 94 I installed a 310cc long rod kit with cylinder spacer kit , man those were the good old days , brought back a lot of pre-mix memories Joe 😀 thank you for all your videos - great way to start out Sunday morning 🌄

@bunnyman6321 Год назад

You still ride?

@robertlawler1387 Год назад

Had 93 and bought new one in 95

@mikehudg2209 Год назад

I still ride and race

@EarthSurferUSA Год назад

@@mikehudg2209 A longer rod does not increase the engine displacement, (size). Only a change in bore and/or stroke can do that. Using a longer rod is often used when you are increasing the stroke though to keep the rod angle better for the down stroke, but your not going to gain 60cc on a 250 cylinder with it. If you are not also using a big bore cylinder, I am pretty sure it is not 310cc. Easy math of the bore and stroke it actually is, to get the cc size. I am starting to ride again after almost 2 decades off. No more racing as I am 59 and will just stick to whooped out trails in Michigan. I like this bike better that the new YZs that are way too tall, (I have the 2019). I have never had to modify a bike so much to make it a nice bike for me.

@mikehudge78x Год назад

@@EarthSurferUSA if I recall the kit I had was from CT racing . I bought it through thunder sports performance which I still purchase parts through almost weekly, I have been friends with these folks long as I can remember. Now you comment on cc etc I remember the kit came with a new crank . Piston and sleeve . The cases had to be modified for sleeve to fit and yes it was 310cc I believe ct also offered one for the 250r 3 wheeler as well . I have been racing open class 2 strokes since.1983 and still do . Yz 250 is a great bike for track and woods - I am 55 so I realized where you are coming from my current race bike is a 92 ktm mx 500

And one more thing boss big respect to you on letting him farm there regardless of the tax break you get, 50 acres is a lot for a small farmer to lose. You're a good man and I'm sure that farmer isn't stressing about next year.

@Olivia-cv8do Год назад

As a teen I make 25 an hour fixing up friends family and even word to mouth customers and almost half my knowledge of this stuff comes from watching your videos over the videos, these videos really are amazing Joe! Always learning super helpful stuff

@cadman9615 Год назад

Good for you. That’s great your learning this skill set 👍🏻

@titletownclowns1545 Год назад

I know I mentioned this before about leaving most of the land to farm so it pays for itself and you can build a smaller test track. I give you a big thumbs up for helping the farmer by not him having to find land to work next year, true you'll get an ag tax deduction but you'll find helping a neighbor (as you have in the past with free fixes) you'll have a friend for life. You can also rent the land for hunting, if you don't hunt, and recoup the money for the land you'll use for a track. Good fix on the bike, it sound good but a little hang in the idle. Do buy a leakdown tester (for 2 stroke) or make one, you can test the seal when you have the carb off cleaning it, when you're done cleaning it the test will be done. Pops

@johnlaezza3496 Год назад

One thing you may want to add to your checklist are the reeds. Bad reeds can also cause a poor running bike. Reeds shouldn’t be damaged and should rest flush to the reed valve, you shouldn’t be able to see light between the reeds and the reed valve. Also, do some research on setting your idle based on you air screw. This is more of a jetting topic, but it’ll get you a smooth idle and a strong power band up to 1/4 throttle. Great job getting this bikes back to life.

@OldestYoungenInGuidePost Год назад

Yes mate 👏🏼👏🏼👌🏼 Definitely new reeds 💪🏻 The ones that are in sound stiff and slow 🤔 So boysen ones And a little scuf with sandpaper on the flywheel pick up ⚡️ Clean exhaust port , clean or replace the air filter, spark plug And probably a chain 😬🤕 😂👍🏼👍🏼

@maxkielbasa6079 Год назад

I don't ride dirt bikes but after watching your videos I am craving an old dirtbike

@darrinwoodward14 Год назад

The floatbowl was made by Boysen also.it was called a super bowl.

@reggiexp69 Год назад

it looks like a super bowl :)

@jakeowens1770 3 месяца назад

AAAH yes the 90s when every bowl needed to be smoked

@edward.devries 9 месяцев назад

Not sure if anyone commented already, but the bike has an aftermarket Boyesen float bowl and Rad Valve. That’s why it has the UFO shape to the float bowl.

@jamesbeckwith780 Год назад

That Boysen float bowl was to help with a Bogging that some year YZ’s had. They would starve for fuel on hard landings. Own a couple different YZ’s in that era. 89-94.

These are already Great Bikes at 250cc! I bought my 1991 YZ from a retired desert racer about 10 years ago, W/ the Ohlins 360cc big bore & long rod kit by Noleen Racing. It has more than enough power everywhere! I raced it for a few years & it was as fast or faster than any new 450f!

@bossmonkey1126 Год назад

Yea, that's why everyone races those in the 450 class now because they are way faster. I love the short rod kits too.

@stevefritch3180 Год назад

Great video Joe! I am starting to think you may have a better selection of used dirt bikes and quads to buy in Wisconsin. I live in Toledo, OH and very rarely can I find a good used 250 for a decent price. Anyways, great video and keep up the great work sir!

@graemebartmann7872 Год назад

The YZ's and WR's from that year were fantastic 👍

@sethjones6235 Год назад

High idle and the boggy is probably a lean bog due to intake manifold leak which is why they had RTV on it. Spray a little WD40 or carb cleaner on the intake boot and listen for idle change. Id just get a new on anyway as you know those old rubbers just give up after a bit. Cool bike! Nice job.

Hey dude. Thanks for all the great videos! Been watching your channel and I’ve learned a lot! I recently picked up a 2003 YZ250 and want to turn it into an enduro bike. Suspension is fine. Gonna go 13/50 for gearing. Is it worth investing in a Lectron carb and an 18” rear tire? Also, I have heard not so great things about Rekluse clutch. Should i keep it stock, or go Hinson or something? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

@microsoftteams2663 Год назад

@EarthSurferUSA Год назад

I was a bit bummed in Michigan back int eh 80's because of winter, and back then, (young and dumb), I wanted to move to CA. so I could ride all year long. But it turned out, winter time was a great time to get my bike in perfect shape for the next summer. I got good at working on my bikes, then modifying my bike, and after a bunch of machine shops and a few college degrees, (of which I was still just above poverty), I started a business and port little 2-stroke engines for a living. That can be a nice winter project, if you can still get parts. It is going to snow soon here in Michigan. I don't mind. :)

@davidcarnell6032 Год назад

I watched this sunday but didn't comment, you most likely get a lot of arm-chair quarter backs, I heard you say that it was still boggy but I thought I heard an air leak on the down shifts (surging), otherwise great to see you back to bikes.

@tonytrout4321 Год назад

I just turned 46 this year and even though I've been around dirt bikes nearly my entire life, I've never had the chance to ride a good ol' 2-stroke dirt bike. :'( I would LOVE to find a cheap (money-wise) 2-stroke to ride (even though I'm mildly disabled) because it sucks not having something to do or ride in the Spring & Summer months here in extreme Western North Carolina. :(

@thebattlefrontgamergriffin8136 Год назад

Hey Joe you got a very nice bike on this deal but I noticed at around 37:40 and up when you let off the throttle, it kinda sounds like she's surging/hunting on you. It might just need to be ran a lot, but I think that there's either an air leak or it's running really lean. Cause my 95 KX250 was doing the exact same thing and when I fixed it, I found out that there was a pretty heavy air leak where the carb and reed manifold touch. But all in all beautiful bike man. I love it!
