    Kudos to you for working with your son on this instead of just doing it for him! Him learning from you is invaluable experience.

    YZ's are GREAT BIKES! About 20 years the same...not "cutting edge" but, pretty DAMN GOOD! Can't beat the easy parts avalibility.

    I built an 02 Steelie YZ325x complete with triples and forks off of a 14 YZ250f, YZ450f swingarm, ESR35 cylinder, Panthera e-start and a whole list of other goodies. While I still love the bike, the one thing that you can't get around is the 2 - 3 spacing on the gearbox of the X model. 2nd & 3rd is to close together, and 4th is a big jump when you're riding deep sand. Liked the standard gearbox better for tight single-track, but sucked on transfer roads. If only Yamaha would of came out with a 6 speed and factory e-start, they could of took a big chunk of the market away from the pumpkins.

    If you get the 09+ yz250f/yz450f swingarm and linkage it’s a direct swap and saves about 2 pounds. Saw it in mxa or dirt bike magazine long ago.

    Id sent the top end to tom morgan personally. Best 700 youll spend. Also, those ebay radiators are quite good. Super stout, mig welded and hold about 20% more coolant. People will bitch, but i promise they are way better than the cheesy OE. Ive used the win racing brand a few times and never a single issue. Perfect fitment too.

    • @highlandcycles

      @@highlandcycles yeah, I get that. I never ran guards with mine, but they seemed to hold up quite well. For $100 i wasnt too worried about smashing them The extra coolant was worth it in my case.

    Aren’t there certain years of YZ450f swingarms that people swap onto those? If so, maybe that’s a better solution to the swingarm problem…🤷‍♂️

    YZ 250 is a great bike, what year is that one and does it have the Triple S suspension on it, would be nice if you could put some kind of headlight on it but that would require a re-wound stator, I built a 97 RM250 enduro bike and an upgraded stator to run a headlight and it was fairly cheap, it kind of looked like an RMX but a much better bike, it would be really nice if you could run the latest style of body work on it, maybe have the frame vapor blasted.

    Have you considered, since I’m assuming a complete motor tear down, doing the 250x gearing and lower compression head?

    • @highlandcycles
      @highlandcycles  Před 25 dny

      Definitely keeping YZ gearing. Mainly because it’s being built as a race bike and we like close ratios for that. I have a head coming but you have to stay tuned 😉
