YZ125 BUILD Bottom End (Part 2)

With the crankshaft and transmission assembled in this video we focus on the remaining components of the bottom end. This video includes the clutch assembly, kickstart assembly, shifting mechanism, drive gear, flywheel, stator, water pump assembly, and the governor system that controls the power valve.

Do you know if that washer is crucial behind the water pump wheel? On my 02 it didn’t have one when removing everything and was wondering if I should get the exact washer or if any washer that fits the thread would work. Thanks!

[@RecreationWerx]

If I were in your shoes I would opt for the OEM washer. A generic one might be an exact match and may never cause an issue but the simplicity and of ordering the exact one would be my choice. Peace of mind at the end of the day

May i ask why u didn't upgrade the basket and or replace it. Because i see the wear points on the basket? I'm curious

[@RecreationWerx]

The wear isn’t to the point that it will effect the performance, but it is on the list for future replacement

[@terryrogers7084]

What paint did you use on the cases? I really like the look!! Thanks for the vids Alex. They have helped me a lot.

Does the head had to be removed to replace the inner clutch cover case that has the oil fill plug on it

[@RecreationWerx]

No, its not required to remover the cyl head to replace the inner clutch cover. Happy wrenching!

[@connor4891]

Weird question but what brand torque wrench do you use for this kind of work.

[@RecreationWerx]

I use a 1/4 drive snap-on QJR117E old as the hills

[@lachlandunn3097]

[@RecreationWerx]

Sorry for the late reply. They are the original cases. I would search eBay
