Yamaha XT225 COMPLETE engine REBUILD

I traded this 1993 Yamaha XT225 for my ninja 250 cafe racer! it's nothing too special but it's a cool bike that is super easy and cheap to work on! it is also fun just to have a super light dual sport around. after I purchase I discovers a few major issues I was going to have to resolve and one of them was low compression in the engine, so I yanked it out, threw in a new piston and jug from CHINA for $60 and now she's good as new!

The XT225 is a simple and perfectly balanced motorcycle.
In Japan, another name is Serow. I'm on the same XT225
Please enjoy remodeling and renovation. I'm rooting for you.

Thanks and you should!

[@steveblottenberger1097]

Otherwise your confidence is good keep up the good work I just I'm a little bit ahead of you as far as age and they're doing it for a while but next time reseat the intake and exhaust valve make a big difference

Nice work man

I have a 2007 Xt225 I been fixing up on and off. Only bike (and first) i have. Hope you post more for this bike! Need more instructional videos and info on the bike.

[@Benjamminoutdoors]

Unfortunately I won’t be doing much on this bike cause it doesn’t need anything. But the service manual is very helpful.

[@cliffpalermo]

Had the head off, pull valves, open intake and exhaust ports and lap them back in for some gains.

[@amauryhernandez8870]

Nice vid men. What rear fender you got?

[@manzobean6818]

How many miles do you think is the most common for the 225 , I just got a 1998 with 8k miles i do have to warm her up before taking off but she runs great after that it’s my first bike an I’m not to aware on how long they last , further down the road I wouldn’t mind rebuilding

[@elboffor__]

sweet video man, nice edit work 🤙

[@Benjamminoutdoors]

Appreciate it!

[@cristianmoralesve]

Hi, I am also rebuilding an xt 225, I would like to know how did you do with that cylinder?

[@phil8461]

Nice work

[@Benjamminoutdoors]

Thanks!

[@Bchara-Knio]

More content please 🙏

[@steveblottenberger1097]

Why you had it apart you should have receded the intake and exhaust valve

[@duncanlee893]

Those bikes are notorious for needing 2 be ridden on choke for 10 minutes before they act right. Great bikes hut they hate being woken up.

[@Benjamminoutdoors]

Yeah I guess so!

[@ta7ta7kw39]

After weighing you, may I know the name of the site from which you buy the goods you need for me, the bikes you are repairing

[@muriuwangai3617]

Me too. Give us the site or place you order spares from. They seem reliable. Not all china spares work. I bought a Chinese carb but finally gave it up and repaired my stock. Otherwise I plan to get a SC2.

[@NalinKhurb]

Yo, nice work 🔥

Hi, can i ask the rear wing from what bike you got it? been searching for one of those

[@Benjamminoutdoors]

It is a yz450f or yz250f rear tail but there was some kinda ghetto modification that I didn’t do.

[@jeremiahspangler4284]

Migo el cilindro lo cambiaste porq

[@manzobean6818]

La compression estaba baja dijo que al empezar la moto tenía que esperar un tiempo para que se calentara y luego ya corría bien pero que si no se le apaga al querer andar , dijo que así la estaba usando que solo la calentaba bien pero que al descubrir que el kit para reconstruirla salía en 60 dolares decidió hacerlo

[@XXXCRSPL]

How's that top end kit holding up? About to purchase 1 off Ebay

[@Benjamminoutdoors]

So far pretty good for the price!
