Yamaha 360 MX top end build and other repairs 

That engine looks sharp Dale. I love the cleanliness and attention to detail. Really great to see these buttoned up. A little bit of everything in this video.

I hope Dale will do another riding video before winter, maybe on the HS1.

Looking good Dale.

Greetings my friend from the Rooster. I have two 78dt400's with extra top ends. Could you please clarify for me that the pistons for the Yamaha Reed Induction must have the two holes on the intake side of the piston or will the wiseco piston work as well ? I'm 70 can't remember. Luv Yer Show !!!

Dale, another absolutely fantastic view. You're always a joy to watch. Cheers again from Aussie land.

Love reading the comments, almost as much as your videos. I'm rebuilding a Suzuki Tc100 right now and your attention to detail really helps.

Dig all your rebuilds,fixes,diags.👍

Make around 35 Horse?

I love your videos! Could watch them all day.

Hi Dale, you can 3d print those grommets using TPU filament. Amazon has printers for a very reasonable price. I purchased a Creality Ender 3 3D Printer, I'm not very good at it but it sure filles the gap. Rich

Always so proud of you..!!

Lovely work Dale. All done with your usual skill and wonderful attention to detail. Cheers, Peter.

Hi Dale, I spent parts of my childhood in Tulsa late 64 until 68. I lived just off Pine st on Oklahoma st right near the Airview drive in. Went to Mckinley elementary school and later Hamilton jr high.

Here too waiting to learn. Thanks Dale.

I don't remember when K&N came to Wichita, KS. I started racing motocross in 1975. Phil McDonald is the name I remember owning the shop in Wichita. He road raced for the factory. I remember the guy in the shop was Johnny and he was a flat tracker. We use to go to the night motocross races in OK city. Nicky Nickels, of Nickels Honda in Wichita, KS, and others to go down to OK. to ride the night races. Nicky use to ride a YZ125 with a water-cooled head for KP Powers. His Yamaha shop was in El Dorado, KS.

Hey Dale..I really enjoy your videos! As an 64 year old ol flattracker myself that champion 360 takes me right back to the good ol days!! I know you mentioned you might be selling it and I might be interested...keep me in mind and keep up the good work !

Hiya Dale, really enjoyed this video, a little bit of everything. I must ask, where do you buy that plastic sheathing from? I have about 6 bikes here that could all use a magneto freshen up. Really looking forward to seeing how you tackle building the pipe for the 250. I’m fairly young at 30yo but building pipes is a skill I insist on learning before I go. I know you’ll do a stellar job. Take care Dale. Dan

Holy Cow, Dale! Is that bench top like a 1" thick steel slab ?? Or is it some substrate covered in sheet metal ?? That engine cradle hardly moved when you were working with it. I'm definitely jealous of that thing.

That bike came from K&N Yamaha? I grew up about two miles from the bike shop out here in Ca. Was it Ken or Norm you bought the bike from? I went to school with Norm's son, and my best bud from school got chomped on by a great Dane they had one day...LOL

Dale, I like your videos. Have you ever installed a Vape 12 volt system on a DT or RT? A lot of people are installing them now. If not, it would be a great video to watch.

Thanks for the content Dale, I had a question 36:46 when you are installing the intake manifold, it has been my experience that NOS rubber, even if new, tends to be a little less pliable than actual new rubber. Is it OK to use a little sealer there (even if not specified by the manufacturer) to prevent a vacuum leak resulting in lean running if the rubber does not seal perfectly? I'm talking of course of using gasoline-resistant sealer, and just a very thin coat so as not to have overflow outside or worse inside into the reed valve area. The intake manifold on my Yamaha RX-100 is a little old, and I can only find NOS ones rather than recently manufactured ones.

Man, those aren't ports they are windows, remind me of the ports on a old ford 427 FE engine.

Excellent am excited to hear it run again should be a rocket

Good morning Dale, that engine looks better than new. Next time you do new sheathing, try spraying the wires and inside the sheath with some Awesome spry cleaner. I use it for doing a rewire. It stays slippery for a while and the wires go in real good. Another great job buddy. I am going to attempt to weld my tank half back together today.

I had DT2 MX - throttle stuck Full open and I found 2nd power band I did not know it even had - did not end well

Lots of fun tips here and a cool old bike you just don't see anymore! Keep 'em coming.

I wish manufacturers still made machines to be serviced and last as long as possible. It is a damn shame we have become a throw away society.

nice job dale as always lookin good carnt wait to hear it fire up next video please

i don't know bout you but im ready 4 some ride'n instead of all this wrench'en, let's get on the seat and test em out...

I love how you take me back to my youth. I watch your videos and I learn more every time. At my end of my time working on motorcycles I stopped riding when I saw two of my friends get hit by car's.

Thanks Dale , I learn something new from you on nearly every video . I am sure we all enjoy each and every video You make .

Looks great Dale. Good job brother

Yes that a motor Peace out

Great video!

Always good to spend some time in the shop Dale. I'd click thumbs up twice if it would let me. Pouring with rain here, standard Bank Holiday weekend! Best wishes, Dean.

Thanks Dale, Good learning on the cylinder head cleaning and flatness, the chamfering of ports, timing setting and assembly. 👍

I moved to Tulsa from Akron Ohio in 1972 to attend Spartan Aeronautics. Bought eight bikes and three ATV’s from K&N in those 52 years. It’s only a couple miles from my house here in Jenks. It’s cool to be able to make that connection with you.

I always learn new tricks watching your channel. I appreciate how thorough you are, for example soldering the new connectors after crimping. What brand of screwdrivers do you use..I don't recognize the black and blue handle?

Good morning to my dear friend and brother Dale who I admire so much with a powerful mind and spirit. Your skills always speak superb high volumes and teaches all your viewers so very much with the amazing mechanical and technical knowledge that God almighty provided to you. A big hug to you and thanking you every time brother ..!! 🙏🙏🙏

Dale, one more bit on useless info. When K&N Yamaha sold, it was bought by Malcon Smith. It was the first bike shop he owned. that building is now gone and Malcon Smith has a huge new super store only a mile from me now, Malcom Smith Motorsports.

Hey Dale , some time can you please give us your opinion on the break in procedure . Thanks Dale .

here, Guy`s!

was this bike converted to right side shift?

Why do you quench the gasket after heating? You are undoing the annealing
