  • In this step by step video I show how to replace piston and jug on a recon. Have a 250 that’s smoking real bad and/or has low compression, well this is the video for you. This works for 1997-2014 Recon 250, Sportrax 250 and Trx250EX.
    Also show how to adjust valves.
    Below is Amazon link to kit I used in this video

    That's how a video should be done! Phenomenal job! I haven't been in an engine in over 25 years and needing to do the top end on my wife's recon, this has sure helped. Thanks!

    Hello Brother!! Man... I TRULY cant thank you enough for taking the time to explain how to perform this top end rebuild. This was my very first top end rebuild on my sons 2019 Honda Recon that he buried in the sand, and decided to start it back up and keep riding :( Can you say smoke................. :( Anyhow, your video got me through it!!! I cant tell you how many times I had to pause and watch the steps you took LOL :) And the fact that you went back and edited the video to show where you went wrong was SO MUCH appreciated!! I could honestly go on and on with Thanks, but you've spent enough time making this video, no need to read a book here LOL :) May The Lord Bless you for the way in which this video has helped so many others, including me and my family!! 🙏
    Tip for others doing this job: If you choose to remove the oil check bolt as described in this video to make sure oil is flowing properly, dont rev the engine like it did... No joke, I was standing on the spark plug side of my quad, and the gas tank was just propped up above the engine which blocked my view of the port hole. Next thing I know, a half a quart or MORE of oil was on the floor... :( .. Hope that helps somone. God Bless 🙏

      Forgot to mention that the kit in the video was no longer available, so I went with the Niche kit on Amazon for $80. Good kit and so far so good. No real hard rides at all as of yet though, so no telling how long it will last.

    Thank you very much! I was able to give life to my 2005 TRX250TM with the instructions and the same kit. I did have trouble with the piston wrist clip but used a socket 2x threaded rod connectors and a bolt. As I tightened the bolt it pulled the wrist clip right into the socket. The wrist clip was melted to the piston. So lots of pressure. The threaded rod bent.

    You might want to mention replacing the locating dowel pins in the cylinder. I found a couple of videos on how to make a tool for removing them. One was low tech, the other high tech made with a lathe and mill. Basically the low tech way was to bore a nut out to the diameter of the locating dowel, then slit the side with a hacksaw and use a pair of pliers over to grab the dowel without damaging it.

    I did a top end on 2001 recon. 97-01 is different than 02 and up. If you look at piston in your video it's for the 02 and up. The bevel edge is polished from smacking the cylinder head. You need to chuck it up in the lath and trim the bevel edge off the top and trim bottom shirt of the piston as the wrist pins are different heights. You can use the 02 and up cylinder and piston after piston modification

  • @TheEquineFencer
    @TheEquineFencer Рік тому +1

    The one I just pulled down didn't have base gasket...My guess someone has been into it before and used "that thin sealant" to raise the compression by moving the piston higher in the cylinder. I've seen that done with modified chainsaws....

    Personally, I'd never install dry rings on a dry piston when a film of oil will make things go much easier, and you can be sure that fresh oil has reached the rings at least ONCE in their lives

      Engine had a upper end tick, on top of valve cover there's a oil pressure check bolt. Pull bolt off and start engine...oil should come spraying out. If it trickles out or nothing at all, oil pump issue.
