Engine Rebuild | YZ250 Enduro Build

[@timfoster1599]

Wow, that was just therapeutic!

[@rubenjimenez5213]

I just did the exact build on a '13 that i got as a project bike(not running), i whent the same route with the cylinder did some porting and cleaned up for improved flow, i did a WR transmission swap, i got an APEX head with the XC dome(came with the bike), put on it like 3hrs of break in and i love it plenty of low end power and 3rd gear is great for sluging it on the hills, cant wait to full break in so i can fine tune the jets and unleash all of its power, great video keep up the good work brother 💪💪👍👍

[@NWLIFECYCLE]

Soooo much work going in to this one. Reading instructions, researching, measuring tolerances, scouring parts fiche, ordering and sorting parts - all before you turn a wrench. Awesome video man! This is my favorite part of a build, that feeling of hoping it doesn't blow up on the first kick...priceless.
Ride, Wrench, Repeat!

[@PlushEnduro]

Man, I feel like I shoulda looked at MORE parts diagrams! I kinda wing it based off memory maybe a little TOO much.

[@Groot_G]

It is always a pleasure to watch a neat build.

[@PlushEnduro]

Thank you sir

[@Mechanimations]

Well done on the rebuild and all the detailed explanations you provided along the way.

[@PlushEnduro]

I feel kind of bad on this one as I didn’t provide a lot of explanation. :/

[@Mechanimations]

@@PlushEnduro Relative to plenty of other videos out there I'd say you did, and you got right to the point with the info you provided. I thought it was great.

[@saqibnawaz5139]

Real 2stroke magic & trance wid all d smooth sailing of parts & gears

[@Junior-fd8ux]

Ken O'Connor is no joke.

[@PlushEnduro]

Agreed

[@jakan756]

Great job sir. You are helping alot of people with your videos.
Thanks from Sweden.

[@haywired1112]

Nice - nice job - near the end yousay youre about to lose your mind! Im thinking how easy you make it look ! You think your rebuilds are tough shit ... You oughta see mine lol

[@cwdirtventures2606]

Great build! I’m with you on OEM all the way🤙🏼

[@PlushEnduro]

Thank you sir!

[@adamgingrich7677]

@@PlushEnduro I rebiuld 2 strokes all the time man. i always use wisco or vertex pistons and rings is that ok. in the last few months i did a ktm105sx X2!, rm125, kx100, yz250. also i run 36:1 amzoil dominator, pls let me know you thoughts

[@robertbaker9329]

May I ask what bad experiences have you had with aftermarket parts? Sounds like a great idea for a video on why paying extra for oem engine parts is the better way to go maybe?

[@MrCairngorm]

Love the attention to every detail in the vid!

[@PlushEnduro]

Thanks a lot!

[@jjpeters5]

Loving the build, I would like to see you do some races with it as well

[@PlushEnduro]

Thanks Josh! I registered in Open class, so I should be able to ride this OR the Beta.

[@Scoot-np4fx]

Looking good dude!

[@PlushEnduro]

Thanks!

[@vince5946]

great vid. Looking forward to hearing it run

[@PlushEnduro]

Thanks! I Just hope it holds together!

[@crjmoto]

Mad skillz bro! I'm impressed!

[@PlushEnduro]

Fancy editing mostly!

[@ericrivera219]

Great video too much case bond and the power valve gastet was installed upside down

[@Lostonabike]

BADASS VIDEO!!!

[@PlushEnduro]

Get Outdoors thanks buddy! It was a long and painful one!

[@ivanplaninsek6205]

I’m doing the same preparation at home, in France, where the yz250x doesn’t exist, so i need to buy parts from usa. This video is amazing, you deserve many more subscribers! I subscribe !!

[@PlushEnduro]

Merci mon ami! Let me know if you need anything!

[@ivanplaninsek6205]

This Mountain Life yes, do you know where i can buy an yz250x head cylinder ? I can't find it on ebay :(

[@PlushEnduro]

Cross Univers yes. www.rockymountainatvmc.com OEM parts. I can’t directly link it though, you’ll have to choose the yz250x head from the OEM diagrams. It should make sense when you get in there. Feel free to hit me up on my email address. [e-mail]

[@ivanplaninsek6205]

This Mountain Life thx :) is the yz250x head very different to yz250 ? Or is there just a little difference ?

[@PlushEnduro]

Cross Univers lower compression I’m pretty sure. It would complement the yz250x CDI. I’d do both the head and the CDI if I were building a true x. People say the yz250x CDI makes the bike way easier to ride in the right stuff.

[@01AceAlpha]

I know you’re deep in the YZ build.
I’m a huge fan of your channel. Your attitude and presentation are top notch. I have a question which is, what protective gear do you yourself use while riding? I appreciate your time.

[@PlushEnduro]

Good question. For the top half, six six one armor (covers shoulders, chest, elbows and forearms) which is about 12 years old I think. It’s bulky and terrible. (I definitely need to replace it as I look like I’m dressed for a pickup football game.) Some old fox knee pads where all of the elastic has basically reached the end of its life. Now I’m embarrassed. I’m a mess. Thanks for watching man.

[@advsquared]

Looking good! What was wrong with the old crank that it couldn't be used again. Main journal tolerances?

[@PlushEnduro]

Thanks man! Yeah, the output shaft on the clutch side was out of clearance. It was the original crank we think. It was a bummer... I bought this bike, because it appeared to be lightly used. I was surprised that the crank was this worn.

[@RWWRENTAL]

2,000 subs hell ya!!! grats

[@PlushEnduro]

The grind is real!

[@stuckcamping]

@4:37 kick starter idle gear goes gear, washer and then circlip. You put the washer then gear and then circlip

[@PlushEnduro]

I actually had to go back in and fix it, after Id originally posted it. Thanks for looking out though!

[@stuckcamping]

@@PlushEnduro wasn’t trying to be critical but I just finished a whole rebuilt bottom to top and I felt my heart sink when I watched that. Had to check the oem micro fiche to double check myself

[@PlushEnduro]

@@stuckcamping ahh no worries at all... I'M the reason WHY you should work off microfiche. It's awesome that you noticed that though. I really didn't think it was THAT noticeable. Like I said, I did have to tear back into it and flip somethings around. Someone else had pointed it out to me before I even started the bike (right after I had posted the video originally) and I owe them my life now. lol

[@AdrenalineRushMX]

can i use blue loctite i have bad luck whit the red?

[@PlushEnduro]

Negative! Always red!!! 😂

[@RonnyWilson541]

Yamabond 5 to put cases together?

[@PlushEnduro]

👍

[@brwi1]

Nice work. What did you paint the clutch and stator covers with? How’s it holding up?

[@PlushEnduro]

PJ1 enamel. Holding up great so far.

[@robertbaker9329]

Plush Enduro may I ask what bad experiences you have had with aftermarket engine parts? I would love a video about why aftermarket engine parts aren’t as good as oem thanks for all your awesome videos sir

[@randyreynolds6508]

Nice video. What did you just use to seal the crankcase ? It's not gray.

[@PlushEnduro]

Randy Reynolds yamabond 5. It’s way less messy even when you put too much on.

[@randyreynolds6508]

Also man. Hat for you to have problems. But you put the kick idle gear on wrong. The washer goes on the outside. @4:38

[@PlushEnduro]

Randy Reynolds 🤔
