    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

    • @imsroll
      @imsroll 6 років тому +3

      Only the 02+ yz's will fit the modern plastic... Steel subframe YZ will not accept the plastics without heavy modification.

    • @joeshmoe12301230
      @joeshmoe12301230 6 років тому +2

      imsroll he could find an aluminum subframe for it.

    • @tpghl5225
      @tpghl5225 5 років тому +3

      joeshmoe12301230 you have to modify the subframe mounts on the frame so, no still heavy mods needed.

    • @joeshmoe12301230
      @joeshmoe12301230 5 років тому +2

      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.

    • @tpghl5225
      @tpghl5225 5 років тому +3

      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.

  • @craigmiller7564

    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!

    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.
