Great video...just scored a 2000 125 YZ for $500....so will follow this series closely.... Thank you ...I realize how much work it takes to make these video.. Great job you earned my subscription!!!!!
If you want your yz 250 to look new, a recommendation is to powder coat the frame silver and to powder coat the rims in a dark blue. Also you can get a restyled plastics kit to look like the new yz 250s
What do you mean? To put an aluminum subframe on a steel frame you have to modify the steel frame? I had one of the lower bolts come out of my subframe and had a crash so it caused my steel subframe to get twisted. I bought an aluminum subframe for it off ebay and it fit the steel frame perfectly.
joeshmoe12301230 I had a friend put an aluminum subframe on a 1999 yz250 and the left subframe mount on the main frame was too low. so he had to cut it and weld it higher up. plus where the subframe mounts up top by the gas tank the subframe was to narrow and had to be grinded
Great video!! In the future you didn’t have to throw the exhaust, plastics, etc away. You could have used them as back up if your bike took some damage. It doesn’t cost money for those parts to sit in plastic bin out in the barn.
Buenas, tengo una yz125 1991,pero no tengo repuestos para la valbula de poder, el cilindro puede ser remplazado por el de alguna version mas nueva? saludos!
@@coreybennit9197 Hey corey at least he is doing it ! Why put people down for having ago, does it make you feel good ? He looks to me to be doing an good job with what hes got.
And that the factory pipe makes a great back up at the track?.... Kid....cant wait to throw this junk away! Not sure what triple clamps are called but ill junk this sh!t too!
400$? I’ve been looking for years on kijiji. Nothing like this sells for 400 where I am (Ottawa Canada). Must be out in the boonies with low population.
Haha it's just said the same shit I swear all these UA-cam videos are just fake as hell or they be lying I search for like two hours every day for a project and never come across shit like that 400 for a wiser 450 doesn't matter if it's dirty and the plastics are fucked lol
My buddy just gave me his old 08 YZ450F, engine is toast, whole bike needs overhauled. I'll be doing about the same thing as you are here, just with a 4 stroke.
California Modz no he should grow a handlebar mustache that way he'll have to spend less money buying parts for a job that will never be completed correctly
Yamaha put the power valve on the front of the motor for 1998 not on the left side like yours. You probably have a '97 or '96. I bought a 2002 YZ250 for $500 and I'm almost done restoring it. The forks and front brake were disassembled and in a box but went back together no problems. Just a good carb clean and fresh premix and it started on the 2nd kick!
paint the swing arm main frame and subframe matte black and get blue plastics with the yamaha sign and decals in a neon yellow and get ur wheels powder coated matte black and neon yellow
Holy shit... you have HIGH STANDARDS. I would add gas and ride it... in China they would just have three people push it and four ride it... I have never owned a two stroke dirt bike in that good of condition. good vid.
Cool video...when you are panning across the bike the video gets all blurry and you can't see any detail. I've had this problem with some of my vids too. Do you know what causes that? I think that it happens during the upload process but I could be wrong.
Hey I want some help I’m 13 and don’t have much experience with dirt bikes, I’ve heard a lot of good things about the yz450x but I’m not sure if I should get that or something a little smaller like the yz250x
You know theres a coolant drain screw on the water pump on all these mx bikes. Its normally the 1 screw that looks a bit different then the other 4. Take out the screw and drain into a jug. I wouldn't of taking everything apart on the rear brake assembly. If you took it off in 1 piece there's no risk of getting dirt in the system while cleaning parts. Top thing on the forks is the triple clamp.

Only the 02+ yz's will fit the modern plastic... Steel subframe YZ will not accept the plastics without heavy modification.
imsroll he could find an aluminum subframe for it.
joeshmoe12301230 you have to modify the subframe mounts on the frame so, no still heavy mods needed.

Thanks for being so in-depth! One of the best videos I've seen on tearing down a bike.
Will Stalder you're a freaking idiot
No a bolt snaping loose is the best sound ever
Agreed but when you fire up that 7.3 L diesel truck
I really enjoyed this.
Can't wait for the next part!
Nice video :D and I have to agree a bolt coming out is one of the most satisfying sounds to hear!!
Nice video, really enjoy the comments you make along the process, well edited. 👍
Im really impressed this thing had all the bolts on it haha most of these older bikes are missing bolts every where!
I like your honesty on your mishaps and techniques, good work bro
man i love this type of videos when you get to see a totally trashed bike become a brand new one...
The best sound is a 2 smoke on the pipe. Great vid dude.

Think its a 96 model due to tank being darker blue
Jake Gibson I agree with the white frame which was the last year they did that
Ye not a 98. A 96 but either way the bike is the same even today just not steel on the frame
This guy like the chrisfix of dirt bikes 😂
supra sonic haha I had to check who this was as well
this is sick. Good reference guide for future rebuilds

You do realize there’s a drain bolt on the right side radiator to drain the coolant instead of dumping it everywhere?
i had a rain pan under the bike its all good
Lol it's all good I don't mind everyone knowing I have no bloody clue what I'm doing 😂

same here!! looks like UA-camrs use some "special" website to find dirtbikes for under $500
Most youtubers is trying to get a lower price then what it actually is for an example the bike was maybe 800$ but he talked his way down to 400$

I thought 96 was the only year with a white frame.. was the white frame around multiple years?
My dad still has his 1998 yz250. Thing is still in the garage right now! Got a carbie rebuild but thats about it.
i love the white paint on the air filter
The part you didnt know, is called a triple tree. Nice mustache!
I refer to it as a triple clamp. Just personal preference tho
How do you keep the nuts organised and know where each part goes where,I’m asking because i want to buy a pocket bike to customise and tune,any tips?
My buddy just gave me his old 08 YZ450F, engine is toast, whole bike needs overhauled. I'll be doing about the same thing as you are here, just with a 4 stroke.

Mustache march is almost here... trust me on this bro
California Modz no he should grow a handlebar mustache that way he'll have to spend less money buying parts for a job that will never be completed correctly
Mike Lyons you get better with each build
California Modz: It's a military thing~😁
Thanks, is a very instructive video, and your comments are the corrects and clare, its very good for my...
I have a serious question please respond how do u get these bikes so cheap i cant find one under 1k and there still in horrible condition
You didn’t think about draining the coolant before tearing it down?
Where'd he go?
just like me forgot the front tyre, good works sir.....keep motivated
The 10’th time I have wached this video no cap
can't wait for next episode, really godd video and you making me wanna start restore a bike(:
excited to see the rest of the series!
what would u say are the most important tools for a dirt bike tear down?
My dream is to have mechanics knowledge like you to be able to restore motorcycles :O
Bright Red frame.. white plastics 2018 .. fmf exhausts pro grips in red ... black foam for handlebars and better suspension.
Did you actually throw those plastics away???
What are you gonna do with the old plastics?
I have a 98 she runs great but I think when it needs a new top end I’m gonna go ahead and go through everything
With a full strip down like this, how on earth do you keep track of what bolts go where?
Oliver Thompson - Yates I watch this video
Very good and funny videos bring a great sense of entertainment!
Great video! Can’t wait for the rest of the series!
Hello, my Yz makes little spark. What could it be...
Why is the exhaust so wide next to the engine?
Where did you source parts for the engine rebuild? I just recently purchased one myself
Yamaha put the power valve on the front of the motor for 1998 not on the left side like yours. You probably have a '97 or '96. I bought a 2002 YZ250 for $500 and I'm almost done restoring it.

Ciao serbatoio carburante x yz250 1998 può funzionare su yz250 1999?😊
paint the swing arm main frame and subframe matte black and get blue plastics with the yamaha sign and decals in a neon yellow and get ur wheels powder coated matte black and neon yellow
I feel like I'm watching a motorcycle version of Chris Fix
Dang that bike was a steal tho and great job on the bike
Where do you find these gems?
where can i get de cheapest piston form my honda crm 125 and my nsr125?please help me!!!!!
@diedrich how did you find a bike in this good of shape for $400??
Awesome build man, I'm gonna be doing a series on a 96
Still waiting on that vid
2 stroke or 4 stroke engine?
Where place to buy second motobike...
I guess I'm weird but I like the old run down look
shows you ain't a bitch with your bike
Or it shows that he doesnt like to take care of his bikes
Erm, 8:59, did you say "forsk"?
Good on you, using the tools you have!
Did this bike run when you bought it?
Dude you are awesome, love the video
The owner of a 2t motorcycle saying a bolt coming out is the sweetest thing you'll ever hear... Lol.
Holy shit... you have HIGH STANDARDS. I would add gas and ride it... in China they would just have three people push it and four ride it... I have never owned a two stroke dirt bike in that good of condition. good vid.
where did you get thoe=se red pliers
Very nice, I had the 98 YZ250 myself, but I was dumb enough to sell mine after rebuilding it. I regret it everyday..
Lost me at 1:10, too painful to watch someone work on a bike without proper tools. I was looking forward to this series.
I recommend you do a gunmetal grey/back just to stick out from all the other semi gloss black frames those tend to get scratched up anyways
Where did you buy the bike or website pls?
Where did you find a bike so cheap?!
what is your name of your dirt bike my is a honda 450
How many times did he say pop it off
Love it man, youvygot yourself a new subscriber!
you can get the cooling system completely empty by just removing the lower rad hose or the lowest bolt on the water pump.
Dang bro how many nuts did you lose throughout this breakdown process? Almost every part you removed you can hear nuts falling on the ground
Where did u find a 250 for 400 bucks
Cool video...when you are panning across the bike the video gets all blurry and you can't see any detail. I've had this problem with some of my vids too. Do you know what causes that? I think that it happens during the upload process but I could be wrong.
For future reference you can wet sand them down with a 2000 grit use a heat gun to back the shiny new look
Он с документами ?
Semi gloss on the wheels and looks great
Riley Donnellan only looks good if you don't ride it and it's sitting on the bike stand in the neighbors looking at it from across the street.
What kind of video camera?
what camera was used for this?
Thanks for going into such detail!
why wouldn't u wash the bike first
If your 5 foot 7 would you have problems riding this dirt
Where did you find this price?!
Dark grey, should go nicely with the black parts and blue plastic
Why wouldn’t you powerwash it before tearing it down?
Onde encontro yz 125 ou 250 assim para comprar? Tem algum local de venda pra indicar? Estou querendo comprar uma para restaurar!
Did you ride that kx at all
I enjoy the backround noices so much, dunno why
You are the ChrisFix of motorcycles :P I subscribed because I want to learn all about replacing things in motorcycles!!1
Those are some cool 😎 pliers
Silver frame, dark blue rims with new 250 plastics
Yes!!!! You are the king!!! GJ

GlitCh RyZe u should get the yz125x since the 250 might still be too big for you
Your narrating is funny, great vid keep it up!
