Do you have any recommendations of a certain brand when OEM parts aren’t available?

Depends on the part, but I am a fan of ProX for motor parts, and I like most of the AllBalls kits for other items, had good luck with them. Otherwise pivot works is great for misc repairs.

Solid comment man, I appreciate the time to let me know the good! Thanks for watching and I hope they continue to help you!

@@DanMX2112 thank you brotha! I appreciate the extra info.

Thanks for the comment Lance, yeah I have to back off on the torque specs, there is always someone who either knows better or says I’m wrong. So either check the manual, or snug it up lol

Not on this motor. Thanks for watching Steve!

In other videos they do the way You did first: czcams.com/video/u2WCVXpK_vI/video.htmlsi=T9ZQo94uPNhfIxmk I also think that is more senseful.

Hey Daniel, sorry I didn’t respond sooner. The spacer, or washer, must be with the tabs facing upwards. This is intentional so that the bushing does not get pinched in between the spacer and the tube. I’ll post the directions stated from the service manual. “Install the oil seal washer with its projections facing upwards” Hope this clarifies. Thanks again man!

I’ve done enough motors it’s pretty obvious how all of them work for me now. Takes time and experience. Thanks for watching!

No clue, we measure using the fork oil gauge. Some offer a measurement, some offer a CC.

@@DanMX2112 thank you

Yeah, the PDS is a major drawback. But this little bike absolutely ripped it up!

Oh snap!!!

Thank you!

Don’t have many issues with wear on them.

Yeah, those orings get flattened out and won’t seal after a few times.

Haha they always run the best before they blow lol jk jk

@DanMX2112 🤣 well, glad my engine is completely rebuilt bottom to top, seals and bearings 😎.

@rocknrye9273 heck yes!!!!

@DanMX2112 And the smell of burning 927 ☺️☺️☺️☺️ If heaven had a smell, that would be the smell. I just switched from AMS Dom to 927. So yummy lol

@rocknrye9273 tasty! 😋

No sir, and I would dare say you’re right on that issue. I would swap it out and make sure the tensioner is good to go!

Thank you sir for the kind words. Hope to help others as well!

I’m guessing you’re talking about the splash guard for the bowl on the inside? Sorry somehow your comment skipped past me, and I missed it. But if that’s it, you need it to keep fuel in the path of the jets in order to allow the carb to take in the fuel.

I love this bike, amazing build by Yamaha!

It’s a zeta plug, can find it online and n eBay. Hope this helps.

Thank ya!

Happens all the time, use a left handed drill bit and if it don’t come easy out that sucker. You got this!

What do you recommend

Everything is nearly the same, but a few differences.

@@DanMX2112 What differences?

@elkku2934 exhaust and intake direction, differences in fuel injection, 4 valve head, couple minor things.

@@DanMX2112 oh yeah, I know these. Do you know if the flywheel puller is still 24x 1.5 on 2015 yz450?

@@elkku2934 not positive on that, but i would assume that yamaha hasn't changed that thread pitch.

Great questions and I hope I can make this clear for you. The bleed screw is used to bleed the air pressure buildup from the fork cartridge, and because it is oring sealed on the inner cartridge, and it bleeds over into the outer cartridge, the bleed screw has no effect on the bleeding process. As for oil height, Yamaha actually states a capacity, I don’t know it but I do know this, that is a baseline to start with. After bleeding the air the manual actually tells you to replenish or refill the oil back up to near the overflow holes, then install the inner cartridge, so, the amount is not relevant if you just fill is up past the recommended amount. Hope this helps, and makes sense 😂

The 125 kicks so easy lol

hit either one of the sides and it should loosen up

@@dailyshreding9393 It worked, thank you

Sorry missed your comment, but @dailyshreding9393 was right. Sometimes the crank can somewhat bind with the bearings in install, and this can usually be freed up by just shocking it.

Perfect!

Some things are not worth buying. Low end seals are one of them,

Soak it after you fill with 1L. No biggie, and check the dipstick as always’

Thank you sir!

Not yet, but Yamaha and KYB have not changed much on that suspension.

Good deal, I figured it would be a more common issue than not. Thanks for watching and I hope the videos continue to help you further Matt.

My son and I pulled the cluster out last night and there wasn’t a little moisture, there was standing water. Soaked it in a bag of rice for 5 hours and it plugged it back in, working perfectly. Ordered a replacement lens cover as the one on it was cracked pretty good. Thanks again for your video,

@mattf9248 success my friend, dang that makes me happy!

Your reeds could be stuck closed causing no air and fuel mixture. Other than that if you’re sure on the rest I’m kinda lost. The plug shouldn’t affect it starting and running. If it’s not a strong blue spark, it won’t run either.

@@DanMX2112 update: it was the plug.. I put a BR9ES and it started on the 2nd kick..maybe the first one was clogged with all the 2t oil I used while assembling the cylinder and all the stuff.. anyway thanks for the reply..greetings from Greece my friend!!

@KostasItea91 good to know my guy, glad you got it figured out!

I use it one all my bikes, two stroke and 4 stroke. The video is on a 2006 yz450f.

Great, valves seemed to work a bit smoother, no power difference, just when it came on.

@DanMX2112 awesome man! Thanks for the video and reply, no mechanical shops in the alaskan bush so very handy!

You can do the outer chamber only, no problem.

If only it could be that easy….

Correct, but, aluminum expands more than steel at the same temp. So, the “vise” in this case gets larger. Pretty sweet huh!

No idea on the specs, although it’s for a 46mm KYB.

thank you sir. do you have any tricks to make is play softer?

@@StickmanTV using a thinner oil will allow the suspension to travel at a faster rate, meaning plusher and softer. This is the only way until you get into springs and valving. It works great btw, go for it. Try a 3 or 5 weight oil.

is there any available spring for lighter rider sir? i tried 2.5w but still feels stiff

@@StickmanTV yes sir, go to Recetech website and put in your info to find the correct spring rate for your liking.

Thank you sir!
