Very true!

And ironically I waited a bit long to change the oil (9 hours) glad she didnt blow. I have a tusk water pump rebuild kit on the way 👍 I put an impeller shaft in it 60 hours ago, that should be fine. Its hopefully the inner seal

I would pass unless your drz needs work and is worth around $500. The yz doesnt even start so you wouldnt even be able to hear it mechanically. Not worth the risk imo

Thank you

NY

Yoo wtf I live right over here it been to cold to ride lol

@@Sean-tg1hxIts never too cold to ride lol what do you ride?

Thank you I’m glad! We gotta keep these gems alive, I feel the same with mine its my baby

What year?

@frankiemarchese2978 02

Thanks! It runs 10/10. It depends on temp and elevation a bit, usually its good to go one size up on at least the pilot jet. Bikes tend to come a bit lean from the factory. I have one size up on both the pilot and main jet, fuel screw at around 2.5 turns out. Its crisp and will never bog when its under load or even in neutral. Starts 1 kick hot or cold also

Dinosaurs aint quiet! LOL

Yeah they are as reliable as the wr’s as long as its been maintained properly. The 06-09 yz’s are a little more difficult to work on vs the 03-05 generation but not too bad.

Thats awesome. How much schooling did you go through? I got mine 6 years ago too

Theyre heavy bikes. My 426 pulls so hard I can’t imagine wanting more lol I had a 400f back in the day too it was fast. Good luck on your search!

This 100%

@@frankiemarchese2978yeah for sure. stock carb as well? thing sounds crisp

@@hisrideThank you. Yes stock carb tuned to the tits. I have a 04 wr450f needle in it, 50 pilot, 168 main, 40 leak jet, o ring mod on the ac pump lever. Thing never bogs on me

I got it on ebay, came off a 99 yz400f. Has no logos on it so I really don’t know what brand it is. It was a lucky find it barely has any hours on it. I also have a spare full Big Gun Race Series exhaust. I would sell it

Thank you! Its ridiculously fun

100% the 03-06 steel framed wr’s are more raw, they sound better and are way easier to work on. The 03-04 were a little bit less reliable because of thinner cases. 05-06 they made them a bit more controllable as far as bark but they still bark lol mine has 220.1 hours since I rebuilt it. The valves haven’t budged.

@@frankiemarchese2978right on man thanks for the insight

Thanks

Its at around 2.5 turns out. One size up on both pilot and main. 40 leak jet. Its basically EFI I cant get this bike to bog if I tried

Its a big gun header that only works with the big gun as far as I know. I just put a yz400f used “pro circuit” pipe on it and it sounds absolutely amazing. I will upload a video of it tomorrow

I agree LOL new video coming soon. I got the aluminum tank and new shroud/tank graphics along with a new seat cover. Its going to look even better

Im at about 300ft. I cant say for the yz450f carb but my yz426f has a 45 pilot and a 168 main jet in it. It runs amazing, has a slight stutter when cruising at mid range but thats it not too much of a big deal. Alwaya starts first kick

Long story short. 175 seems a bit rich lol try one size up from stock

@@frankiemarchese2978 ah man. I thought 175 was stock on the main, when I got the bike it was running a 48 pilot and a 180 main. But I got it from somewhere that’s a completely different climate and elevation from me. I don’t have a manual so I was going based on forums for “stock jetting” maybe I’ll go down to a 170 for the main. I also never changed the plug after my last re jet which I was just thinking about as well

@@frankiemarchese2978 I’m also on a yz400f not a 426 but from what I understand there is not a whole lot of difference between the two

@@Dirt_Serpentnah not much different. My 05 wr450f is slightly different than the yz426f. One size on each jet different I think. Try 170 and see how it runs. Maybe try turning the fuel screw out 2 turns when you change the jets too

Thank you. I just bought an aluminum gas tank along with new shrouds + graphics, and a seat cover. Will be making a walk around video within the next few weeks stay tuned!

Nice. Can't wait.

You will need an engine from a 2006-2009. Hope that helps!

They are solid bikes! I feel the same. The AC pumped must be timed precisely for it to be optimal, along with proper jetting. Just wish the 400/426 had an adjustable leak jet in the bowl. Ive tried the BK mod and it made things worse

@@frankiemarchese2978 yeah I got mine from someone who lives in a 1000ft elevation difference from me so I’m gonna reset the whole thing to stock specs as well as replacing the ap parts that I need. I’ve come to realize these original carbs are hard to come by. It’s a 98 so it’s running the gen1 fcr carb where the whole mechanism that actuates the ap is all external

@@Dirt_SerpentThats right, I know what you’re talking about. I used to have a 99 yz400f. You can probably put a newer gen carb on it with some slight mods to the manifolds/cables

@@frankiemarchese2978 that’s my next step if I can’t make one of these first gen carbs work. I know you can use an 03 yz450f carb with the matching cables, I spoke to Lectron as well and they make a carb that fits the bike as well, we’ll see how much I wanna spend though haha. Either way this bike is a monster

Thank you!

Im not sure the part #. Very hard to find nowadays

Hahaha you’re fine, good luck!

Do you have Tim Ferry’s factory bike? 😂 Upload a video and show me! Im curious

Lol true

150 rear 120 up front 17” wheels

@@frankiemarchese2978 Awesome, thank you!

Yes

@@frankiemarchese2978 I have the yz250f 04 so I can tell u know ur stuff as well bub 💯💪🏻

Thanks! It has 177 hours on it now running great

She is still thumping strong!

It is carbon fiber lol I have both the carbon and aluminum type gytr mufflers

Oh okay thank you

I like to keep it clean, sometimes its pretty brown at 5 hours. The engine has 175 hours with no issues so Ill keep doing the short intervals. The way I ride I change it every month or 2

@@frankiemarchese2978 Sorry for my English first of all but bro it's the only category of bikes I never had u see 96' I was doing motocross with 96' RM 125cc before 4strokes back then 2strokes only & believe me the oldest bike's was better/light not heavy/fast without problems every month.But now I have finally a second hand wrf450cc 05 of December which is like 06 u know every year they do 2 models.The 1rst six months 1&the second six months of the year the do the second.Anyway i 30+ years destroy dirtbikes & not only😆

@@frankiemarchese2978 If you go mountain yes its good every 1month 2 change oil, oil filter & must change or( clean better your air filter)Also every 4/5 months look the values but if you destroy this 5 gear dirtbike by doing it motart then the engine works not properly it works smoothly with wrong wheel gears smaller ⚙ I use 15 front 46/48 back rear. Mortar use much smaller back rear & bigger front.This is why many do YZF mortar & they destroy the engine *4gears*yzf 😉means short gear burning engine.

@@frankiemarchese2978 The most important is the oil if your oil is golden no reason to change it but if its brown/black after 5000hours then something is wrong,it burns oil 100% i put red oil 10/40w & when it loose the color i change it but its usually after idk hours but kilometers.I do 40 killometers a week maximums (only spring & a couple of months after September)so I don't bring it to the edge no need oil so soon but a YZF with only mountain full exercise trail & times then yes need changes all the time.Remember yamaha knows better why wrf has papers here Europe &u can go with it for exercise from your house 2mountain.But YZF u have 2carry this beautiful beast for motocross/enduro or anything u do😉Sh.. man i wrote a book 📖 😆😅🤣enjoy your dirtbike bro cheers 🍻

@@frankiemarchese2978 If it's too much brown after 5hours open the engine before it will explode 😆it has problems-probably. Usually U change oil after IDK 1000 hours WRF. If YZF the again every 200-300 hours it depends how u drive & where but if u have black oil so soon it burns oil 100% u must fix it rather change every 15 hours 😉Cheers 🍻

Lmao thats my mother

Ebay. I cant find the same part unfortunately

@@frankiemarchese2978 Thanks. and I looked for her everywhere

Yes IMS and sharp AF lol I love the old school parts

$1,000 +/- $200 considering the shape its in

Thank you! Its actually not a kit. I pieced it together with seperate graphics for each plastic. The swingarm gytr graphics are probably impossible to find now.

@@frankiemarchese2978 Looke amazing man! I’m building a 05 wr450 right now for my first super moto style bike and i’m taking much inspiration off yours! things to clean not to 😂

They make great supermotos. I rebuilt this whole engine and it has 167 hours on it running great.
