Such a great video I appreciate the detail and explanation on the steps. Do you know why we have to grease the cylinder mount bolts?
@UpAllNight918 ай бұрын
Thanks! Oiling the cylinder head bolts reduces the friction when bolting them down. This is done so the torque wrench can torque the bolt down to the correct specs without additional friction getting in the way.

Great video, but I was wondering why you didn`t exchanged the timing chain like in the YZ450F video? I realized that the 250 possess the same flywheel and I have to order one. Problem: Ebay says M30x1, but I measured the diameter ~24mm. Can you tell me the specs of this tool. P.S.: How can I screw the nut with the right torque, when I don`t have experience with my impact drill please? Thanks in advance
@UpAllNight917 ай бұрын
Thanks. The puller needed for the YZ250f is a 24mm x 1.5mm thread. I didnt do the chain because the owner didnt want a new chain, only a piston. But a new chain is always a good idea for sure. After making the video someone pointed out that there is a place on the flywheel just below the thread that the puller threads onto that allows you to hold the flywheel with a wrench as you tighten the flywheel nut. It is also shown being done this way in the manual. I just never noticed that before. So you should be able to tighten it up that way if not using a impact. Hope this helps.

Hello. Hmm, if your doing the timing chain too, a viewer pointed out that the flywheel can be held with a wrench while installing and removing (instead of a impact or if you don't have one). Its mentioned and shown in the manual. I just completed overlooked that. You can download the manual for free. It does have lots of useful information. Otherwise its all pretty straightforward and you should be good!

Thanks. Its a nickel plated cylinder. Honing is usually not required if its still in good shape. Just a good cleaning with steal wool will do as long as its still in good shape. I did a video on cylinders that may help, here is a link kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6C0ZZKXprudqtE

Did you measure the cylinder bore off camera or did you not measure? If you did not, is it uncommon to need to replace or replate the cylinder?

Hello. No I didnt measure it. It still showed all its honing which indicates to me there is no real measurable wear on the cylinder. and all thats needed is a new piston to freshen her up. These nickle plated cylinders last a long time and can be reused many times before they start wearing thin (under good maintenance).

It really depends on the rider, usage, and maintenance. It can last 200 hours if the bike is treated right. At 200 hours its suggested to replace the crank no matter how well it checks out (mainly for track use, big jumps and stuff) but if its just trail riding you can take it past 200 hours if your ok with it.

@sethmacgillivary1281 it depends really. If a good amount of premix is run. And everything stays good the yz125 crank can last a very long time. Longer than even the yz250 crank. I currently have about 85 hours on mine and the cranks lower rod bearing is not showing any real wear yet. My wife's yz125 (which she rides rather easy) is about to hit 300 hours (and I'm not even kidding). Very durable cranks as long as enough premix is used and jetting is close enough.
