  • I bring back this 1985 Yamaha YFM200 Moto 4 from the dead. On top of some maintenance issues it also needed a bent exhaust valve replaced and the jug bored 1/2 millimeter over. I bring the viewer in where I'm re-assembling the top end of the engine with the hopes to get it running and driving.

    Good job on the moto 4 Carl, gotta keep the 80's four wheelers alive. Come do to pa if you ever want to try bottom end work I got a 86 230s quadsport motor sitting on the table that needs crank bearings.

    I know this is a crazy question,but where does the negative from the battery connect to? The one I have did not have a battery just the pull start. I'm trying to get the starter to work.

    I have that same exact four-wheeler, there great to ride in, idk if you'll see this but what kind of clutch does it have. I've heard that it has a internal clutch belt or just a regular clutch. If you know let me know because minds wearing out....and there are so many from year to year.

    Change your oil filter if you haven't already I gotta use tri moto from a guy that never changed it and it would keep stalling because the oil filter was completely clogged up

    Lol yes there is a decompress switch on the right side of that model. You flip it first then use the pull starter .just saying so you know.

    Is that loud clicking/rattle from the front of the engine normal? Mine seems to be in good shape, good compression, no smoke, and valves are adjusted but it makes the same noise

    I have the exact same model and year. It currently it is low on compression. The loss of compression began on a trail ride last February and it has been parked since. The culprit is a leaking base gasket on the cylinder. It will fire but does not stay running. Any advice on fixing it?

      Well there are plenty of repair manuals out there, if you have a lot of time, patience for cleaning parts and a nice clean organized shop to work in, it can be a fun project, if not I would just sell it off

      @@kwuzil5918 for the yfm 200 rebuilding is expensive especially buying a new cylinder. So your better off boring yours out and give the shop your oversize piston so they can fit it properly before they to the work. If you wanted to use the cheaper and easier to find yfm225-250 you would have to split the engine and use the corresponding connecting rod. So long story short a yfm225-250 rebuild kit won't work. The reason is the connecting rod is too short and you would have too low of compression. If your cylinder is really bad you could find one on eBay pretty cheap.

      Clymer makes a very good service manual. Not sure of the cost but it is a large paperback book. I have one and also own a 1985 Yamaha 200 Moto 4 which I am restoring.
