Same happened to me many years ago sold my old cr250 to get yzf250 2002 then that wasn't very old had nothing but trouble and what a pig to start after 2month had enough of 4strokes went got me old cr bak happy days
if you ride that slow all the time then its probably the cause for it seizing. engine has got to hot to many times and the piston has slowly been welding its self to the cylinder wall, destroying piston rings and piston skirt. motocross bikes are designed to be pinned at full throttle hence why they have no fans on the radiators so riding around slowly will only cook the engine as there's no air going to radiators to cool coolant that cools the engine down.
Hi does everyone no how reliable the 2011 yz450f is? I found one with an hour metre that says 16 hours But don’t know if it’s been rebuilt or not how reliable are they if you do normal routine maintenance?
I think it is the rings, it just lost all compression. so ill just get top & bottom rebuild already have the parts ordered. Two more weeks & it will be fixed
@@cartervaldez5030 not really it just had a lot of hours. I hadn't had any engine dramas till it stopped, i found the problem though it was a spit piston
@@jasonsyz450f3 yeah I’m looking at buying a 2011 and worried about it breaking on me, I plan to do regular routine maintenance for oil and filters and do not plan to mx the bike at all, just trails and an occasional wheelie
@@aubrey5939 I tried but it only went a 1/3 of the way I did know of them, but there was no need to move it so I didn't & it doesn't get in the way of anything so it doesn't bother me 👍
Had a 2001 YZ125 once had 600+ hours on it compression was down a little but still really impressive fro 600+ hours
206 hours without checking valves?
Have you thought about shifting gears 😅

Was that from the same piston?
@@1911ang the original piston yes
@@jasonsyz450f3 that's good then I thought you only get 50 hours then rebuild. 200 il take that thanks mate
Would you happen to know what caused it to seize? 206 hrs seems low
Split piston

Only the piston split & no need for a run down of how my bike works that I do know. But thank you for watching my vids
I saw the back of your car and I subbed
What car was it?
@@jasonsyz450f3 some 4 wheel drive. We were going through the drive thru at hungry Jacks

very reliable even after a rebuild. I got mine at 32hrs & didn't have any problems until the bike seized at 206hrs
@@jasonsyz450f3 oh ok thanks for answering I might just buy the one I was looking at bye
I buy a 450 Yzf 2011 this week rebuilt, everything new,2900e!Love it ❤
How much was your rebuild?
$3000 full rebuild including new radiators
Yeah something just happened to mine and I can’t even crank it
@@dylanterrell3950 sounds like something is seized up bro
You couldn’t feel the bike loose power ? I would’ve shut it off and towed it the rest the way home sounding like that
Yeah I knew it was on its last legs. I already had her booked in for a full rebuild so I went on one last ride before it went to the shop
Noooo, crank problems?

@@jasonsyz450f3 is this a common problem?

@@cartervaldez5030 nice their great bikes if you keep it in good condition. just keep an eye on the bearings, pivot points & keeping them greased
Damn things sounds so flat start to finish of video
Seized but you can still rotate engine? Ok. Wtf would you mount hour meter ontop of radiator?😆
No the engine doesn't rotate & the hour metre is on the plastic next to the radiator. The hour metre was there when the bike was purchased
@@jasonsyz450f3 looked like you were kicking it after it died. You know they make an hour meter plate, fits nicely under steering stem nut.

@@aubrey5939 ya he kicked it quite a bit. Timing chain can cause that as well.
Must of been going to slow
yes that would be correct
What????!!!!
