    Great set of videos! Really well done. I have a 2003 wr450f and I've leaned a lot watching you fix your bike. I'm just learning how to do the maintenance myself so this is pure gold.
    Going to attempt rejetting the carb soon, we'll see how that goes!

    Really love your vids and problem solving skills and lets give it a go mentality , I was very much the same as a young bloke like yourself , little money and just a few tools. I've had over 100 bikes and never had a single one to a shop for repairs..... could never afford their prices , but it taught me how to do it myself and gave me a can do attitude just like yourself. One thing I didn't have was a Jenny...... she is freekin awesome and so supportive...... what a gal.

Your time, effort ,perseverance ,and hard work paid off .You brought a pretty strong running thumper YAMAHA YZ426 back to life from abandonment and neglect !I think you did outstanding for the money invested !Watched all 6 clips and enjoyed seeing you bring her back from the dirt bike reaper ! You've got a nice piece of land to ride that baby on too in the lower gears but I'm sure your going to want to stretch her legs a bit further . Ride on brother !

    Your bike is more than the sum of its parts. You have given it a new lease on life. The enjoyment of something like this is a lot like the MasterCard commercial, $600.00 for the bike, $200.00 for parts, enjoyment PRICELESS. You are in it for a modest amount of cash and sweat equity.. I enjoyed the series....

  • @ireland3331

    Someone may have already told you, but a good pair of riding boots are well worth the investment. The 100 bucks you pay is well worth the protection they offer your shins and feet.

    Great series of videos. I guess I got lucky. I paid 1300 for my 2002 YZ426F. Did not take the typical advice and replace piston and chain. Just reg maintenance and rode 'er like I stole it. Raced a handful of times last year. She's just a damn good running bike. Btw, glad to see you got the start-up drill down. Once you know, it's pretty easy to start.

And sure enough you quickly and properly diagnosed the problems like you've owned the bike for years. Glad to see another fellow dirt biker who actually cares! Kudos! Keep that baby runnin

  • @horstszibulski19
    @horstszibulski19 5 років тому

    Binge watched that playlist...
    Great content!
    Cringed myself on that shim valve adjustment, my ZZR rots in the shed because there are 16 valves need adjustment like that!
    Measuring the play, taking out the camshafts, measuring the shims, calculate the needed ones, put it back together, measure again...maybe the same process again...
    Not to mention the work to get into the place to measure something, removing tank, airbox, carb bank...
    :-P
    Had an XTZ660 before the ZZR, the same 5-valve-layout but with rockers, wa s a joy to adjust the valves, removing two covers and adjust really oldschool, with feeler gauge and ring wrench!
    :-D
    I think in bikes i will stay with 2strokes and if i want something more complicated, i start wrnching on my Transit connect diesel...
    :-D
    Have fun and keep on with your good vids!

    Hey might buy a Yamaha yz426f 2001 this weekend for 1100 let me know if that's a good price for it. The guy told me no problems well maintained and had it for racing. Would appreciate the feedback. thanks!

    • @jenniesgarage
      @jenniesgarage  10 років тому +2

      Oscar Perez If its 100% all there and super clean $1100 sounds ok, otherwise walk away or if you still want it start things off at $650 and see if you can get a deal. People always say its perfect with no problems. Trust only what you see, and the way it rides.

I need to get used to my bike first though. I own a 2003 Yamaha ttr230 and haven't drivin it yet. I have some parts to get for it though. it's only electric start and I don't have the keys. yes I realize the owner of my dad's bike.

      A 426cc handles almost like a two stroke. It's all about that power band. Think of them like a 1984's group B rally car. Nothing happens...nothing happens.. *turbo kick in* FUCKING HELL!

      +TheSmokingBuddha clean the float valve, there's probably a little dirt in there that won't let it close all the way. Good luck!

    What year is your bike? I bought one just like it for cheap but it has no vin number and I can’t find the year of it to fix the carburetor

    And on the 7th video day there was rest 😊. Like the Genesis theme. That bike just needs road electrics now 😁
