DOCWOB - Ryan Villopoto Yamaha YZ 250 Factory Bike Build - Part 1

SEASON 2, EPISODE 2
You have never seen them like this as we’re usually very discreet as to how we build these -now it’s stripped down to show what's been done!
You may have seen the Bud light YZ250s we built for Ryan Villopoto and Mike Brown in the flesh at VMXdN Foxhill. Both Brownie and RV had them buzzing all weekend, gunning down the hills and through the valley. You might have seen the pics in a magazine, on social media or the live stream, but you will never have seen them like this!
In this week's episode, we have the YZ 250 that RV rode at the event stripped down in the Blue Workshop at DocWob HQ. We take you behind the scenes at DocWob HQ and give you an in-depth look at exactly what we did and why. Also, you can find out why Team USA run at a disadvantage at the event.
Restoration of old two strokes is our thing, but getting a 20 or 30 old bike to look and feel brand new and more importantly run how it did back in the day is no mean feat. So we give you an exclusive look at this machine once the plastics and graphics are off. We talk suspension, rear brake issues we had, why I hate wavy oversized front discs and that part of the bike that takes six hours of my life that I will never get back. I also give you insider knowledge about carburation!
Strap yourself in; This is the most in-depth we have ever gone!
The plan with the TV channel is to have a mix of updates on what we're currently working on. We are working on a "how to" section where we will share techniques learnt over a lifetime of building Evo bikes when we were "in the trenches" back in the day. We will finish each show with a "new products" section to showcase some of our manufactured parts and why we make them.
If you have any questions or if there is anything you would like to see, please let me know in the comments.
Episode Three - We pick up where we left off with Ryan Villopoto's VMXdN Foxhill YZ250.

Doc's work is actually ART 😎

[@docwobtv]

When it’s a passion it’s always Art

[@moto3463]

Probably one of my favourite bikes of all time. Pure beauty

[@docwobtv]

Agreed

[@mikebrown41182]

Going to need Doc’s service for two major things. One is his outstanding titanium bolts and one is for suspension. Glad that he is offering such excellent help for the public, Doc’s mastermind as i use to say.

[@guttersnipe3246]

You the man doc wob your work is second to none.Bikes are a thing of beauty.

[@docwobtv]

Thank you so much!!

[@rosollimursu3643]

The most in-depth and informative bike check ever. Brilliant to give actual stories and reasons behind the modifications, not just a pars list. I'm a superfan of this! Thank you Sir for spreading the know-how.🧢😌

[@docwobtv]

Glad you liked it!

[@nzslackie]

"...apart from that they're standard" what a line, Wob 😂 almost pissed myself. Work of art and seeing them in formation flat-knackers at VMXdN was mint...even if it was only on the Livestream (in NZ). I'll be glued to the '23 stream for the next edition.

[@docwobtv]

Haha yea there’s not much we don’t mess with somehow!

[@karlmyers3819]

Brilliant wob…what a guy🙌🏼

[@docwobtv]

Thanks man!

[@davidevorider2002]

Loving the blue workshop

[@docwobtv]

Yea that is the regular quick turn around and r&d workshop that’s connected to the machine and welding / fab rooms, the orange one is the resto - long term build set up

[@discooz4452]

🤤🤤🤤😍😍😍 Bugger me there is so much more work in these bikes than I thought. Works of art top to bottom. Can’t wait for Ep 2.

[@docwobtv]

Oh yes! Plenty to go at!

[@JacksonD489]

Doc Wob TV... the best channel on KZbin! Cheers matey.... FJ

[@docwobtv]

That’s an incredible compliment!

[@Coopdegras]

As much as I love the moaning, the builds, the videos etc you're a childhood hero of mine followed you all the way from dbr to moto now to KZbin. The amount of tips I picked up in goggle prep and bike work from you (and Lee) being a kid then going on to be a mechanic myself you the man too don't give mitch all the credit. Look forward to future factory projects on here 👍🏼

[@docwobtv]

Wow, thanks! This is an amazing compliment. Thank you.

[@earl6969]

Enjoyed the video. Thanks for taking the time. Villa's wr was a good looking bike but this one really screams effort. Sometimes "because it just F-ing looks cool" is enough reason for just about anything...from stockings with the line uP the back... to guard dogs.lol Love Enzo's suspensions. Ross is the man for me. *The Black Chester's had us all drooling last year. What a line up that was. Cheers and best of finishes this year.

[@docwobtv]

That is the only reason! This years bikes will be just as special!

[@krp1787]

Dedication at it's best 👍

Thanks bud!

[@docwobtv]

This is our own show! Cheers for the support kid!

[@adrianjessop6408]

👏👏👏💪 amazing detail which is missed by most 👍

[@docwobtv]

Thank you so much 😀

[@markbarter9717]

Brilliant video really enjoyed listening to how much goes into these bikes . In the future could you talk us through the restoration work you did on Thorpe's 86 RC 500 👍😁

[@docwobtv]

That will be another video for sure. Maybe two!

[@docwobtv]

We have actually been commissioned to do a sympathetic resto on another of Thorpe’s championship RC500’s so we can film progress on that one, for the 86 bike we rebuilt we don’t have any video footage but I’m happy to talk people through it- if it’s of interest?

[@markbarter9717]

I know you must be reading questions that you have been asked a million and one times , but for us fans of the sport who don't know what goes on behind the scenes, your years of being involved in the industry, you have been there and seen it all. I and many others enjoy your stories especially when you are with Tommy and ed . 😁

[@astreet339]

To whom it may concern…. Who ever had this idea. Your a Genius!! That is all.

[@docwobtv]

The video or the bike?

[@astreet339]

[@monocogenit1]

Just curious, hope there is not an obvious answer to this, but why not build the 05-06 and up year model? Alloy frame...06' got the SSS forks

[@AngelRodriguez-eo7wp]

Make a Kevin windham and pastrana 01-02 sobe Suzuki rm250 please

[@iluvmx1977]

Brembo ORO 78B40848. 270mm round front brake disk. Readily available here in Australia, not sure why they aren’t available in the UK?.

[@docwobtv]

Lord knows!!

[@connortidman6925]

Such a good looking bike... Are you talking about the O-ring at the end of the TPS sensor that's attached to the carb? Or on one of the jets?

[@docwobtv]

The seal that causes the issue is a really small rubber on the top of the solenoid for the power jet, if it’s perished and gone the fuel will constantly leak past causing the bike to be rich off the bottom

[@StevenHorne-cs7ep]

What spring rates do you run in this YZ250 ?

[@davidmole8299]

So what year bike is Ryan racing now..2023 or older?

Great work kid!

[@coedswyddful]

When you see this you realise why they cost so much. When I do my own up, the money never works out. Always worth less than what you put in. Profit margins are not good!

[@docwobtv]

It’s passion and precision, it’s what we do 👍

[@michaelanderson2689]

That motor was so good Suzuki copied it! 😂

[@docwobtv]

😳😳🤔

Yea I saw a lot of that inspiration whenever I was at the r&d dept at American Suzuki
