    Was that a brand new oem crank or a ebay special? Doing a crank on a 19 kx450 right now.

      This was an OEM crank but I've used lots of eBay specials throughout the years (Hotrods) and have never had a premature failure. Just stay away from Wiseco cranks. Thanks for watching!

    Awesome job man.. I have the same bike and I’m getting an occasional bog / hesitation at full throttle , what do you think it could be? Normally I’d try cleaning carb but it’s fuel inject

    • @MotoBuilds
      @MotoBuilds  10 місяців тому +1

      The Injector can get clogged just as easily as a pilot jet in a carb if you're running pump gas with ethanol. Pull your Injector from your throttle body and clean it. Look up the procedure for cleaning it. You'll need a 9v battery, a way to connect it to the injector, and some carb cleaner. Beyond that you may have a dirty fuel pump filter.

    Thinking of buying one of these, I've already got a sxf 250f but I did some research and I think it'd be a fun bike to have, what do ya'll think? It's 1780 OBO left bad gas in it and now it won't start, compression is there and it has spark

    I have a problem with my crf250r, the oil drain bolt fell out when riding and I went for 3 hours before jt locked on me. I put a new bolt and oil back in and it started right up. But it burning the oil and smoking a lot. Any clue on what to do? I’m not very good with motors. Thanks

    • @MotoBuilds
      @MotoBuilds  Рік тому +2

      I'm honestly surprised it started back up at all..if it didn't kill your crank you likely smoked your rings. Need to pull the head and cylinder and see how your cylinder looks.

    I need help with a fuel leak on my 14 kx250f its around the boot from the airbox i replaced the rear injector and oring thinking that was my issue by it hanging shooting too much fuel, but it done the same thing with the new one!!! I seen you mention you’ve built plenty of these bikes any idea or suggestions would help alot!!!

    • @MotoBuilds
      @MotoBuilds  Рік тому

      If it's isolated to that one spot you likely just have a bad o ring where the injector mates to the fuel line.

    I thought you weren’t aloud to hone plated cylinders

    • @MotoBuilds
      @MotoBuilds  Рік тому +4

      If the cylinder is at all glazed and has minimal crosshatch you're going to have poor lubrication and blowby. Regardless if sleeved or plated it needs to have a good crosshatch. I have built many hundreds of engines and if it needs it, I hone it. Never had an issue. Now if youre already at a size D cylinder and the nikasil is getting thin, it's better to replace or replate because the hone can flake the plating...but A-C cylinder bore. Send it. Just don't over-do it.
