This 2005 YZ250 had a serious case of motorcycle gut rot, although that wasn’t apparent upon first ride. Check out what we did to get her back up and running.
Hey racerx, you guys should pick one lucky winner each month to overhaul their two strokes! They just submit photos of their bike and they get the full racer x overhaul. There's lots of potentially good bikes but some people just don't have the resources to hop them up
They should start from 2000 through to 2007 and rebuild of all the manufacturers 125 & 250 two strokes and then do a shoot out for each year ! That would be unreal . . .
REALLY enjoy these vids! Dylan has a wicked riding style, it would be great to see a little more behind the scenes action of the restoration process...like more in depth shots of sprockets getting installed, tires, graphics, engine work etc as that is showing all the work put into the bike. A cost breakdown would be a fun metric too, to show guys what you can do with a clapped out bike off Craigslist on a budget (instead of handouts)= keep these coming !!!
sick bike but the biggest bummer about doing a build like this is all new dirt bike parts are such a ripoff that you buy a cheap used bike but then hafta spend more than twice what you paid for it to completely rebuild and refresh it. The motocross industry hurts itself with the prices of this stuff its not worth that much!!
RacerX why don't you guys take a brand new YZ 250 2-stroke, and build it for pure race? I mean, port it, pipe it, carb it, reed valve it and put loads of compression in it (like 16:1 or 17:1) and something like Racetech suspension; Then have an awesome rider race it in the 250 class! I bet you get a million hits! A properly modified and tuned 250 2-stroke will produce a legitimate 60hp and have a wide power band with tons of torque. No 4-stroke will compete with a build like that!
Yeah you guys should do a raffle like 100 or 50$ a ticket gives people oppturinities and you guys can make some bucks off it to cause jay Clark has like 15 bikes haha
What a great looking bike...great bike build for the month of my birthday :) my bday was the 7th...just turned 16...blew my 125 that has 144 kit ...something with clutch possibly crank...I would love to have a yellow yamaha to be specific that bike ;) you should pick a lucky winner to win every month the bike you build
I think Dillan is better than Brock hepler was. that's pretty impressive. 15 years ago when we all raced PVR, steel city and so many others you would have never thought that.
Love these vids. Also, I have a 2013 YZ250 with a yellow restyle kit and modern style graphics. I am very pleased with the bike, though I started with a brand new machine and didn't have the problems you guys did. Clutch plate in the transmission? lol
That thing is setup right looks it has alot of power, rip to or buddy if that's true cause he can ride very well kinda I have a similar style, he might have needed some clippers n razors though in this clip lol I can't say much sometimes I look like grizzly Adams lol
very cool you can tell this is a pa narrow threw the woods track. my little brother actully used to race against Dylan. I was always a bike size up. I'm a little older than him. but it's awesome to see a district 5 guy making it in the pros!!!
It would be awesome if you guys could do give aways on these bikes. It would be the BEST thing for people like myself who LOVE the sport of motocross but can not afford a bike. Just a suggestion!
I was thinkin the same thing hahaha, Dunlop sticker on the back fender makes me think not though...of course I guess they coulda been testin Dunlop meats pre-season. I think JGR does some stuff for Valli and Star and they are somewhat close by in N.C....who knows, cool vid though

that is a fucking great idea haha
do it to a up and coming privateer racer
Yes!
Genius
That would be sick

rest in peace Dylan Slusser! great rider
No way was just gonna say this guy can fucking shreddddd
would of slapped a new clutch cover on it or something everything else is mint then the old beat up yamaha cover

Agree !
Nothing worse then doing a bit hungover as fuck ! Haha
Just found my new YZ250 vid. Sweet rider skill too. When it looks fast on the GoPro like that, you're frickin' flyin!

Haha, "clutch plates in the transmission, don't ask me how that happened"
0:53 Greazed everything
Fantastic bike, BUT that practice track is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
Buys bike for 1800$, puts 10,000$ into it
*Dumbass tries to copy joke, and fails*
Get outta here. I see you everywhere on videos commenting
No i just said some other dude said that and you said the exactly same.
+Jaret Boston $10,000 is cheap it cost me 2k to just re plate the cylinder and new piston on my 250
+Blake Lawrence then you way overpaid for a top end
R.I.P. Dylan you will surely be missed
love the video, awesome 2 smoker! how much funding start to finish did this project bike take? im very curious and would like to build one
Yeah you guys should do a raffle like 100 or 50$ a ticket gives people oppturinities and you guys can make some bucks off it to cause jay Clark has like 15 bikes haha
How did you get the yellow plastics. I visited the website and only found them in blue,black,and white.
What do you do with after you build the bike?
that track looks awesome and nice yz250
Loved your video. I have a 05 also every few years I do a total make over. Until Yamaha makes a "new" YZ I'll keep mine.
He looks mad high
clutch parts in the transmission occurs thru transmigration...this is because there is no resurrection for motocross bikes........
I like the yellow actually
Sounds crissssspy but that first dude was high as fuck!!
Im in need of getting my bike back running you guys help would be killerrrrrr
That's my number and I'm probably trading my crf250 for a yellow yz next week. That is badass.
Bro no way

Great looking bike, track looks like a blast!!

If you check now they have them in stock
Damn Dude that bike is awesome! I had no idea you were going that far with it when you were telling me about it!
love these videos so much!!! keep them up?? is it possible next time to put in progression pics or videos of the bike
very cool you can tell this is a pa narrow threw the woods track. my little brother actully used to race against Dylan. I was always a bike size up. I'm a little older than him. but it's awesome to see a district 5 guy making it in the pros!!!
Put on your fucking helmet! 😂😂👌
at 04:00 that's "Twitch-style" right there! Verry nasty whip for sure.
I have a 1979 rm 125 project bike you guys can turn into a danny Magoo replica
Bfd, New bearings, sprockets,chain, yellow plastics, top end.
should ask the question How dose these bikes compare to some of the new bikes on the track can it still be a competitive bike in a A class
Depends on your skill level.
Where can i get plastics like these from??? They look sick!
Just look up UFO restyle plastics
My god what a great looking bike, always nice to se someone take care of an old beast like this 👍 sounds good too......
Where can i get those graphics?
Very nice she is a beautiful beast! Lol
I have a clean 1988 kx250 that would be a sick overhaul.
Class build from you guys! Love these vids and that was some of the nicest looking riding I've seen whips were so fluent!
That is a sick bike. So can you put 2016 plastics on a 2005 bike
sam breathauer yessssss
RIP Dylan Slusser #558. You will forever be remembered
how much did all the stuff put into it cost
Could of updated the discs
I saw this at my last race!
At least we know you chose the right brand, bike is killa
Wtf clutch plates in the transmission!?!?
That bike has good power!!!singen like a tru 2 stroke
Plastics from UFO Im gonna check them out
Skilled test rider.
The rider looks like ed sheran
I need a new tank for my 05 yz and can't find one like that anywhere, can someone give me a link to it
clarke mfg
I just want to ride the track it looked sweet!
That dude can ride for someone in their 40s
+machine69 the dude in the video shredding is Dylan slusser. He passed away from aneurysm several years ago at the young age of 25
We all wish we had the money to do this haha
looks sick 😍
Absolutely awesome vid guys!!
Suspension looks to soft
wtf is with the music
Racer x should build a cr500
πανέμορφο
How did u clean the frame?
was this a joke?
I thought it was a rmz250 lol 😂😂
Daniel Bentley yeah me too
DaPopeFrancis716 and you both would be fucktards
Yellow on yz = 🤮
It would be awesome if you guys could do give aways on these bikes. It would be the BEST thing for people like myself who LOVE the sport of motocross but can not afford a bike. Just a suggestion!
This bike its to fast if u never rode a bike
Jeff Reck I ride, but we hit tough times and my dad sold our crf250 a while ago and we have not been able to buy one since.
accident waiting to happen if they do that then racer x will get into trouble
Andrew Mendoza What makes you think they can just give away thousands of dollars? They're not millionaires.
Start selling your food stamps and pay for it
Oh dang i know what track this is
Rip dylan🙏 I miss u bro
Needed a new set of jeans by 3:16
Fantastic riding!
Maddd style points @ 4:00!!
show
should of kept it blue, it's not a suzuki, yamaha retro colors should stay in the past. :/
The color looks awesome!
That bike looks badass
DAMN that's crsip
Rest in peace Dylan.
Awesome looking bike
Rip Dylan slusser
Up all night?
Pourcell at 3:28???
I was thinkin the same thing hahaha, Dunlop sticker on the back fender makes me think not though...of course I guess they coulda been testin Dunlop meats pre-season. I think JGR does some stuff for Valli and Star and they are somewhat close by in N.C....who knows, cool vid though
Rip dillin
