  • As most of you know, one of our YZ125's blew up because the air filter cage came out of the air boot. But the question still remained, What actually happened to cause the motor to lose compression. We dig in and find out in this video!

    Bridge got hot. Most likely from small air leak. Those plastic vforce can cause it. Good to use thin coat of motoseal on them.

    🔥I’m thinking cylinder had a wound on the bridge exhaust side from b4, they put new top end and slapped back together🔥the air filter situation just cause pre mature wear and she got hot🔥👊🔥🔨⚙️👊

    gOOD jOB!! It is not about just fixing things. It is about learning,(and teaching), why this may have happened. We try to impress on folks that the only "DUMB" question is the one you didn't want to ask. Usually, dumb questions will lead to a lot of good education and information. Us guys just can not stand to think we may not know something. More that a few times when talking to a gal on the phone I will say..."He is sitting there asking you questions, right"? I tell her to let me talk to him, I won't make him feel like an idiot.

      I just did the same thing to my 2016 TC 250 I pulled the cylinder off and the rings are almost gone the piston is in surprisingly good shape just two front seizure marks in the front and vertical lines all the way around I wish I could send a picture lol. Hey thanks for all your videos Morgan!

    I blame it on a clump of grit mixed with 2T oil that got through from the open air box.... the kid is off the hook😉

    “Fresh top end low hours”
    Translate
    “Just put a new piston in it and found the cylinder is junk, should run a few more hours”

  • @jvincent1960
    @jvincent1960 Před 2 lety +1

    Did you check the ring groove? Maybe the dirt packed up behind the ring and put too much pressure on the bridge.

  • @donalddonaldson7211
    @donalddonaldson7211 Před rokem +1

    Maybe from the extra air from loose filter and sand. Once I pulled my cylinder off my yz125 and the ring was turned around completely!

    Ended up being a lot of water in the carb on 22 tc 250. Previous owner had vp gas in it. I've seen a few bikes now that have sat for a little while with vp and the bikes wouldn't run.

    One has to wonder if the holes in the piston which are there to lubricate that area got some dirt in them which lead to the failure.

    It’s kinda of a shity design the air box on the re style kit. Just zip ties to hold filter cage on the box.

    So were rolling the dice on the crank ?
    Also, clearly someone has already done the quickie top end and stuff it in your ass job. The CYLINDER wore that new piston in and done.

      Yeah, going to roll the dice on the crank because he will be riding his 100 in races for the rest of the year and can ride the 125 a bunch before it matters and figure out if it’s ok.
