Maybe you or someone in this thread can help me out then I just bought a rebuilt yz85 for my daughter and the sparkplug electrode broke off in the cylinder or inside I tried finding it with a magnet, kicking it over to blow it out, as well trying to blow out with air compressor. Either it came out and I didn't see it or it went inside the engine which I am really worried about since I just bought this 2 months ago and barely have rode it. It has fire but will not start up or run any longer. I have had other problems like loose bolts around the carb breather or the rubber portion the carb attaches to and the gasket failing so air was getting in which I just filled that crack with glue until I got a new gasket. Is there anyway to tell if the electrode went inside and done damage as well what tests could I run to tell? Any experience with this? Any suggestions I would be grateful for!

2 strokes compress the fuel/oil / air mixture in the crankcase and forces it up the transfer ports into the combustion chamber where the fuel/oil/air mixture gets compressed again before it fires ...we call this effect supercharging...when the piston travels fast enough is when the powerband begins ...the expansion chamber reverses the sound wave from the exhaust fire and blocks the supercharged intake from escaping out the exhaust port ...thats when she comes "on the pipe " and horsepower goes off the charts this is why a four stroke doesn't stand a chance as 4 strokes can only suck bang and blow ..when 2 stroke go braap they are making boost

I remember when Honda released their first CRF250 and 450 4 strokes. Good friend of mine, since retired, was a Honda and KTM dealer. I went down to his shop one day and observed several blown motors sitting on the work table. And these bikes had only been.out for a couple months..!! When I saw that the pistons looked like a hocky puck and those motors had to Rev like hell to make power then I knew those bikes were not ever going to be on my list to own one. And I also thought the engineers that designed those short stroke extremely high RPM joke stroke screamers need their heads examined. I will stick with my carbed 300 2 stroke. Just keeps going.

I'm %100 a two stroke guy but there's no argument that four strokes put down faster and more consistent lap times on a track. As an amateur just riding in the woods for fun two stroke is the way to go because of ease of maintenance and lower cost of maintenance. I currently own a 23 Husky TE300 TPI (favorite bike i've ever owned) and yes the initial purchase price was expensive but the bike has been just as easy and cheap to maintain as a carb bike (except for the added cost of oil pump and potential sensors). Plus I think riding two strokes is just more fun!

@@eddalton8530 Outside of motorcycles engine manufacturers have developed DFI and EFI 2 strokes for decades in aviation and marine propulsion. Ultimately ending with similar results of losing to more efficient 4 strokes. Despite these DFI 2 strokes having a weight advantage, less moving parts, and matching 4 strokes in emissions output. They couldn’t come close to the fuel efficiency of equally powered 4 strokes and that outweighed the other benefits. Thankfully KTM keeps developing 2 strokes and these new EFI bikes are the best 2 stroke bikes to date. But until the AMA increases the engine size allowed for 2 strokes there will always be a gap.

Four strokes have ruined racing. They maybe easier to ride and have better traction but that is it. They are more expensive. In the pro ranks easier to ride is worse for the spectators. There are less mistakes which makes for boring races. Also faster means more injuries for the riders. The AMA made the biggest mistake ever when they let 450cc four strokes race against 250cc two strokes. It should be stroke for stroke, but if they did that four strokes would not have taken off.

The whole cheaper thing does it for me.. this hobby/ sport is already so expensive, everyone needs a cheaper option to cater for a variety of people, its no good pricing riders on a budget out of the sport

When your two seconds from a ramp and you realize you don't have enough speed your gonna wish you had a 4 stroke unless your rpms are up

I love 2 strokes, but this fall I bought a stupid 480 big bore ktm 450 with stage 2 cams and 13.5:1 comp piston all freshly rebuilt, nice bike but its no 2 stroke, Everyone makes bad decisions occasionally. Good thing its paid off next month, im buying a Banshee or CR250.

2 stroke seems to do the opposite to me, 2 stroke wears me out faster. Could be the suspension, not sure.

Much easier riding a 4T

I think he was really describing a 4t with a poor off-idle mapping. Some can be really lurchy off idle

It is the speed at which terrain is coming at you. 4 stroke heavier but smoother. 2 stroke racer never breaks sweat on 4 stroke cause it is not moving as fast or as ferociously. 4 stroke is cruiser

2T wears me out even when compared to a heavier 4T....ram's. 4T power on single track is what I like, but I do not like the stall factor on a 4T at low rpm's.

Let's have an additional Supercross class. 2-Stroke!

They would not do that because it might be more popular!

First time ever racing would add a class to a series so slower bikes could ride..🤣🤣

Got a '99 KX250, still a great bike though. Vibrates the fillings out of your teeth, but that adds to overall feel, it's visceral. And for a 25 year old bike, it still goes like a stabbed rat, and I sure as hell ain't skilled enough to use it to its fullest potential.

2 stroke for life. 4 strokes are always breaking or need further tweaking/wrenching. My 2 stroke needs just a little top end work every 100 hours, big deal.

The used market for 2t are the same if not more than 4t

Good video that makes a lot of good points. What I take away is that 2 strokes are for lesser men.
