You are lucky because if you have a 4 stroke with a top end problem the amount of money spend could be twice as much as you paid now.

[@joekool69]

This guy makes it sound like if you start a 2 stroke it'll burn a whole in your piston.

Having both, getting new valves and not needing seats, a piston, cam chain, and gaskets are about $500. I need to do that every 80-ish hours. On my 125, its $150 for a piston and gaskets every 15 hours. It all depends on how you ride them too. If your pinning it on a MX track they will both wear out quick. If youre putting on the trails they both will last a while.

[@wolfietigerstripes3248]

Bob Brown not talking bout bikes but ive heard its better to have a little more oil than less, i mean not too much but always best to make sure it stays as close to the ratio it was intended to run on

[@SD-ir1vf]

No way. You mix gas and oil to the specs of the oil itself and not the bike. My CR 250 is supposed to run at 32 to 1 and I run it at 52 to 1. I have less problems and the bike runs better. Too much oil will just make your bike run like shit and foul the plug. To mix oil at 32 to 1 you have to get oil that mixes at that ratio. Not the oil I want to use.

[@dudebro5169]

one 16oz bottle of caster 927 for 5 gal of premium gas has worked for me for the last 3 years, 40:1 seems to work well for my 03 kx250. everyone says 32:1 for everything but that's a base line. look at KTM, those crazy bastards say run your fuel at 100:1 in some cases. I would never do that, but I also don't ride their bikes that cost a lot to repair. not any more at least.

[@SD-ir1vf]

I use Golden Spectro 12 ounce in 5 gallons. One spark plug last me five years. At 32 to 1 you will change plugs every other time you ride. I’ll take the word of a good mechanic that works on these bikes every day and knows what happens to them after five and 10 and 15 years riding over the manufactures word any day. 100 to 1 they want you to wreck that and buy a four stroke.

The two stroke will break more often but are cheaper to fix than a four stroke, so if you want something that doesn't need much maintenance buy a four stroke. If you want something that requires no maintenance, go with Hondas. No joke, I have a sportrax 90 that hasn't had the oil changed in over ten years and it still runs fine. 😂😂😂

[@DKnight_78]

Heres a tip for you. Check your reed valves. Trust me on that

[@r.jjetskivids5810]

King Carl Enduro that's true

[@Meekerextreme]

Yep you got to replace those from time to time and replace. I have replaced mine. Easy to do too.

[@mxer4life25]

King Carl Enduro another thing to do if you have stock reeds is to take off the plastic pieces that limit how far they will open. Did that on my 2005 cr125 and it worked as good as v-force reeds.

[@AndyTrampke]

Thats really not the best idea. Theyre limited in range they can open because when flexed further the metal theyre made from suffers from fatigue much quicker. Last thing you want is your 2 stroke inhaling a piece of reed valve.

[@alasdair4161]

Some engines with crankcase reed chamber need the flex limiter to prevent the reeds touching the crank at high rpm. It's all over real quick if that happens. They are there for a reason, the limiter is also shaped to force the reed to flex along its entire length evenly, that's why they are curved, without them in place, the reed will only flex at one point near the root, it will fatigue really fast and snap. Your piston will munch it all the way back to zero rpm..

[@spencer1244]

Namura is the issue... I had a 2013 200 xcw and went 170 hours before bothering to change the piston went that long on a vertex cast piston... Namura makes Chinese POS pistons stay away

[@juliolausell4399]

@@WorksForMeBro Me too, I learned the hard way with my leaf blower. The piston ring got stuck to the piston, the cylinder got scored. I fixed it by a little clever sand paper work on the piston and bore. I ported it a little to restore the power. Todays fuel is 10% ethanol, running 32:1 is good, or even 25:1

[@itsjoeman5757]

If you ain't mixin gas you ain't haulin ass

[@elibain6152]

[@AuMechanic]

Numero Uno is you need to learn how to read spark plug color and how to do plug runs, new plugs fitted, ride full throttle in all gears and cut engine ignition and pull clutch, roll to stop and pull plugs and check color, if you do that you wont get caught out with piston seizures. Re fuel once you premix fuel it goes off faster so don't use fuel that has sat for long periods, modern oils less so but it's a good practice to mix on the day if you are touring or racing or at least replace after its been stored over winter etc.. 2 strokes produce the most power right before they grenade a piston because the mixture also provides cooling, a correct mixture will provide some cooling of the cyl and piston at the expense of power, so as it goes into too lean territory power increases however its too lean to survive it for long, so if your 2 stroke starts to produce more power and you're thinking wow engines really bookin it today, well it might not be for too long so best you get that spark plug out and check the color regularly.

[@rationalmartian]

Best comment yet. I couldn't agree more. A plug can tell a whole story, if one can read it.

[@DirtyMerkin]

Good advice... cheers 👍

[@71druss]

I lol'd when he said 2 strokes are a "little" easier to work on then a 4, they are not a little easier.....there a lot, I can literally replace a top end on my rm250 in about 1hr for about 100.00 using only a couple sockets and a couple wrenchs, jetting and maintaining a 2 stroke is not anywhere near as difficult as this guys makes it out to be

[@dementedspirit1359]

71druss yeah hes a fuckin idiot. he doesnt realize his anti 2 stroke vids just show his ignorance on bikes and the sport over all

[@OddBallPerformance]

I think you should qualify something here. There are a lot of variations in the 4 stroke world. I can swap out the entire top end of my old 1cyl OHV 4 stroke air cooled motor in...an hour, with 2 wrenches, a flat head screw driver, and one socket. Heck, a brand new head with a gasket costs all of 70 bucks, Toss in a new jug, piston, and base gasket for another $90 if I really feel like going to town, then I only need 1 more tool to remove the wrist pin retainers. On the other end of the spectrum, my liquid cooled DOHC 4 valve would take the better part of a day. That said...I never have to do a "top end" rebuild. 47,000 miles on that OHV and it's still as fresh as mile 1.

[@71druss]

OddBallPerformance He's not talking about old 4 strokes, There is no way you can rebuild the top end on a modern 4 stroke in a hour for 100.00. And I call BS on anyone getting 47000 miles out of a modern 4 stroke mx bike. And yes I did read that u said u where getting that out of a ohv bike and not a modern 4...Unless it's a xr, those bikes run forever with proper maintenance, I use to own a xr600, was a great bike. So your comparison with your old ohv is not anywhere close to being relatable. It's takin over 30 years of engineering and evolution, fuel injection, crazy high compression ratios on a engine that cost thousands to rebuild if u over rev it, of a modern 450 4 stroke to even come close to developing the power of a 500 2 stroke built in 1985

[@OddBallPerformance]

71 Druss, this was never an argument about power. Also, calling BS? hahaha. Ok. www.bigdogadventures.com/WR250R.htm Read that, and get a clue. That isn't the only one either. There are plenty of CRF250L's out there pushing well past 40K. A guy I ride with has a DRZ400 with almost 60k on it and has yet to need any major rebuild work. So tell me more how it's impossible? You are basing your information on your biased personal beliefs, which are wrong btw, instead of actual facts. Also, impossible to rebuild the top end? I never said rebuild. I said check the valves. My $100 figure was IF I, for whatever reason, HAD to rebuild the top end of my old OHV motor, it would cost very little, and is literally doable in an hour. 4 strokes don't need to be rebuilt every 3 minutes. Valve "jobs" in most services are literally checking the clearances. The process isn't that much different. Now, yes, at a certain point things may be out of spec, but as long as it was maintained, most modern 4 stroke engines can log quite a lot of miles before that possibility arrises, and then it simply depends on the motor and valvetrain as to how involved that is. If it has lash adjusters, that's it. Adust them and done. If it happens to be a shimmed cam on bucket - feeler gauge, use chart or do quick math, figure out new shim size, get said shim(s) at dealer, install. The shims are cheap, and I am assuming anybody having this debate is doing their own work, so there is no labor costs to consider.

[@OddBallPerformance]

Also, I love how we are now stipulating modern into this equation. Funny how that wasn't a factor until my information contradicted what you said. Just saying...

[@stevebarnes8008]

Two Strokes are the only way to go. Four strokes always have that valve job looming in the back ground. I have had a bunch of two strokes and have never had that problem. I guess if you buy a bIke near a mountainess area, you may may need to check the jetting. living in Missouri, there is not much elevation change around hear so it is less likely to buy a bike that the jetting is way off.

[@billybull7419]

At first I was scared of all the valves and reliability of a fourstroke. But at 80 hours my intake valves finally started wearing out. While it was apart, I checked the piston and cylinder. All still in brand new spec after almost 30 hours on the piston and 80 hours on the cylinder. the new valves and getting them shimmed was just under $300. Ill take about $500 every 80 hours to do valves and a piston every 40 hours to changing my damn 125's piston every 15 hours. Four strokes are not hard to work on the worst part for me is getting the timing right on the cams and getting the gas tank back on haha.

[@a64738]

My experience (and lot of other I have heard) is that if your engine suddenly runs a lot better then normal it is running lean and what happens next is a melted piston... 4 stroke engines get a little cooling from the oil on the underside of piston, 2 strokes do not have that advantage and melt pistons a lot more easily when getting to lean as it get more of the cooling from the fuel.

[@vetlebrathen3392]

I love my 2STROKE Yamaha yz85 that's What think

[@toast47624]

I did thousands of hours on 2 strokes back in the day and never once had a problem. KTM 525 lunched its self costing me thousands. I went back to a KX 250 in 2010. Possibly the best bike I ever owed rivaling my CR 500's

[@coloradodirtbike5930]

I have many many two strokes and never have major issues... I also have a few 450 four strokes and I cannot say the same about those, constant maintnance. Two strokes for the win!

[@d.martins4471]

i will always be a 2 stroke guy haha, i cant stand the sound of a 4 stroke, I NEED the sound of a 2 stroke, i dont care if it blows often or not, if its harder, angrier, whatever

[@arepeace9048]

i have experience about my OLD 2stroke Moped Bike 😢 when i speed up ' feeling the powerful of speed ' then the Rod piston is like Bullshit

[@narew1981]

I have both. 2006 RMZ450 and 2008 Huskvarna WR250. I blow the motor on rmz 3y ago and it will cost around 3000$ CAD to fix it. May as well buy another 4stroke but I will not. Husky 2stroke still pulls strong and lots of life left on OEM piston.

[@mikejones-qk2ou]

Seems every punk wants an XR400r these days to beat the piss out of and try to sell for TOO much! Don't get me wrong I grew up on 4 strokes and they ARE reliable, cheaper to run! But, I've had the most fun woods riding on my 1986 Kawasaki KDX 200 (still stock)!

[@kenicussparticus6238]

You need to get a different bike, it is not normal to have to change your pistons that often, my 1998 RM125 one piston easily lasts 160HRS riding it in the powerband for most of that time! (My Powervalves are wide open) IDK why your bike is frequently exploding, but after every ride, make sure to touch it up a bit.

[@neiljames9275]

I've just seized my engine on my 2 stroke dt125 still rather have a 2t than a 4t all day

[@vegasromaniac]

If you don't know how to fix 4t, it's the only option you have

[@johnrichardson8048]

Two strokes are awesome!.....and four strokes are awesome!....and I reckon some of the new electric shit would be....awesome! Stop the 2 stroke four stroke argument it's getting old

[@billiardtroll8360]

What I can say is he could be using a not wide ratio on enduro, could be a fast trail and burnt his piston.

[@CabezaDePistacho]

im buying a Yamaha Zuma 2 stroke... i just like the sound they make when you accelerate!! prrrrrrmmm!!!!

[@twistedendurox4928]

The title should be more that you know nothing on 2 strokes. Your rules apply to 4 strokes as well! Bad fuel! Bad air filter! Jetting to altitude! It applies to every single combustion engine.Your knowledge of 2strokes is limited and your doing an ed video on them? Get facts, simple facts, to change rings and piston on a 2 vs. 4 is way way easier. Call a professional shop get a quote on a top end service for a 4 and 2 stroke 2005 yz 250 and 250f same make same year. There is a more involved labor process in a 4 than 2 that the shop has to charge for. So how can you say they are harder to work on? I can completely remove motor and split the case, have it back together in the bike running in about 3 hours on one sons yz85 and youngest kx65. My other sons crf150r is about a 5 hour job just on the motor itself. I have done the cranks in all of them.

[@dannybennington2957]

BLEW MY BIKE UP! Hey guys can anyone help me been out on my bike the weekend and managed to record my last ride till I had a funny noise appear near the end of my vid have a look can anyone tell me what they think it could be please, “Ashby moto park ktm 125 sx HELP

[@MrDjcamo29]

The only two stroke I have ever blown up was a 46cc that was because ran out of gas at 45mph and I was a kid so I think I have it down currently on a 74 Suzuki tm400 cyclone scary as hell but still fun bought the most dangerous two-stroke of the 70s yay!!!! If you do not know about the tm400 it was known as the widow maker because it would advance 30° timing out of nowhere and you'd be at for torque and full speed immediately in every gear. I still can't wrap my head around how fun of a bike it is! I'm obviously in love with my monster!

[@RRDfinland]

these are normal daily things to check your 2 stroke?? 4 stroke has valves if it some issue happends cam chain snaps your bike cylinderhead is gone buy new one 1000€+valves,cams and other things? about 600€ to you rebuild the whole engine to 2stroke?

[@JH1200A1]

Yep.... I work on PWCs and I build about 10 engines a year. Mostly because of dirty carbs/too lean and improper storage.

[@jasonjaeger4042]

I disagree with ya man, 2 strokes are way more reliable, don't need half the knowledge to work on or maintain, and every bike I buy I check the carb the see what Jets they have and the needle clip position. I ride with a group of people, 2 and 4 strokes, and the 2 strokes are all still running. 2 Honda's need cranks(can't tell you how many Honda cranks I've done). And when your 4 stroke goes, get ready to take out a mortgage on your house. But everyone's got their preference. Good vid man.

[@canton7180]

two strokes a stupid easy to maintain if you know or learn a couple basic things, clean & oiled filter, Carb boot not torn, reeds in good working condition, good packing in the silencer/ no soot blocking the spark arrestor screen, correct jetting, oil in fuel, coolant in radiator, oil in gear box, adjust the air screw at different elevation and temps accordingly, I run 300 hours on my pistons and 150 hours on my rings ktm 300 xcw, It cost me generally $200 to do a top end rebuild opposed to double or triple that for a 4 stroke.

[@ncode03]

Just like everything else in life, the 2 stroke generation will grow old and perish, children are not interested and 2 strokers engine will die with them. Its life cycle. Happened to musics, gadget tech, home appliances, cars, and everything else. I started with a 110cc two stroke too but bikes and parts is getting less and less available in the market nowadays, its like looking for vintage parts

[@-hazza-1291]

Im thinking of buying a yz125 (post 2008) to daily ride to and from school everyday (about 3 miles each way) is this a bad idea?

[@gulag_dt]

How can Finnish 15 year old kids fix 2strokes better than some adults

[@paulmistro94]

thats bs about 4 strokes runnin better i had to take my 450 to the shop because there was a hole in the air filter and it some how ruined my valve clearance which inevitably caused my engine to blow up, you get the same issues with both bikes the difference being when my 450 blew it cost me nearly a grand however if i wanted to have my 250 rebuilt i could do it in my shed for 100$ (not that i would use 100$ engine rebuild kit) but the point is still there 2strokes are just better they make you better at riding amd teach you so many amazing things about motorcycles a one you learn to ride 2stroke even a 125 you can ride any bike even a leader the power to weight will just always be superior

[@BaldVulture87]

right off the bat, a/f mixture was bad, Jets in the carburetor needed to be bigger, or you jist didn't do the fuel/oil mix 32:1 I rather burn a plug and feels safe to hold it wide open then have a little more hp but needing an engine rebuild every 20 tanks.

[@noah_rides8260]

Basically what he is saying is that 4 stroke are more reliable and if you ride with proper care you can get many more hours on a engine than a 2 stroke. My kx85 has been through a lot and I've rebuilt it and it took maybe 2-3 hours but my klx110 was a pain to rebuilt setting the valves and the timing and making sure it was at top dead center and that took the entire day. I'm not a master mechanic but if you ride them like they're stolen neither will last long but ride with care and you'll get more life out of them

[@AndreiAndrei-xf3cd]

I don.t give a shit what people say about 4 stroke engine! how long time I don.t stay to repair or give more money for what ever for service that.s F.Cooooooool for me!!!! thank u for this inteligent video!!😎

[@als9868]

two years ago i submerged my 2 stroke at wot. Hydro locked my motor. Took the plug out, flipped the bike upside down, took the airbox off, worked the kickstarter for a few mins and put it back together....started second kick and ran all day with no lasting issues. No one can ever tell me that two strokes aren't tough, i would love to see someone do what i did on a 4 stroke.

[@macozetleri9989]

My bike also blown up because of lean 2 time in 5 hours.I realized running lean after 2 rebuild 😀

[@mercer982]

it's explained in so simple way. people who bash down something such as 4-stroke engines are obviously people who don't really respect the engineering behind them. everything has it's pros and cons. if you took a small effort to learn them , they really aren't so difficult. i know a lot of "bike enthusiasts that only know how to change the oil and never really took any effort to learn how to do shit them selves. i would be afraid to drive/ride something i know i can't take care of.

[@jenny-masterchef]

he got a point.i love 2 stroke and very fast engines but theyre sensitive.if your mixture fucked up or just a little dirt sucking into the cyl,the piston dies in a sec.look at guys with very fast machines.theyre fast as a mofo but after every race need to replace pistons.piston and oil eating machines :D and is not fun when u have a lc engine.waste a lot of time to refill the coolant plus check squish blabla.4 strokes are lazy like diesel engines but they not really fail so fast.but when they fail...

[@chrismansker8870]

wait what is the first thing changing the gas checking the jets or checking and cleaning air filter. proper maintenance is what you should do before every ride. I will buy every to stroke I can. restore and resell love them ride them always have had one or two.

[@TylerQueen213]

must be a pro mechanic hahhhahhha I ride a 2003 cr250r and have no problem with my motor. Why don't you take care of your bike? nothing will happen then.

[@fpreston9527]

This guy is talking sense . And to run a racing engine at a competitive level, the top end needs stripping after every event. You would never buy a second hand race bike and take for granted it had been put together correctly. Personally I would strip the bike completely and start again. But that's just me . It costs a lot of money to get to a race meeting and doesn't make sense to take the chance that it won't break down through lack of maintenance.

[@jadengragg2883]

yes they suck more gas but I have a 96 cr1 and I've rode it almost everyday for that past year and it finally blew up I looked and the piston wasn't even that bad I think u just have bad luck

[@frogbear02]

breathe on a two stroke wrong, and you will burn a hole through your piston, do every thing right, and you will quickly burn a hole through your piston.. seriously, you REALLY have to love 2 strokes to own one, since they are just constant problems and expense, all for just a little more power. screw 2 strokes, seriously screw them XD 4 strokes all day every day any day.

[@rhinusbreedt9772]

He mentioned that if your spark plug blows out or whatever in the middle of nowhere.. which happend to me twice.. what is the cause? Too lean or too rich? My bike runs awesome for hours now but i have had the spark plug die problem a few times.

[@andrewwaters3210]

nah I was really shitty to tm 125 for years like 3 and and never had to rebuild it. race it off and on rode trails with friends. all I ever had to do was change clutchs 3 times and the transmission. and keep good cleen air fliter in that thing. run like Hell. I think this guys problem was he brought a yz. I have never men any one who rides a bike hard that was happy with a yz. and he seems like he keeps his bikes in top shape

[@Toobluejzs147]

I got lucky with my ktm 125sx , got a it from a moto family that got it for there mom to go to the dunes but she didnt like how it didnt fill very planted and didnt have enough power in the bottom ,so she upgraded to a 250, got it for a steal too, only 42 hrs

[@fredman1085]

I may be mistaken but most of your points are up to you the owner to run proper oil/gas ratio, to run a clean and whole air filter, to jet your carb correctly, etc.... I would say that if these things are off when you buy the bike, it points more to the seller's lack of proper maintenance and then buyer beware, not what you will do with the bike once you buy it.

[@sdudley11]

anyone says that 4 strokes are harder to break then a 2 stroke they are full of shit they are easy to break if you have no idea what your doing when it comes to maintaince on them you can easy cost your self over $1,000 in repair cost and alot of down time from riding. if you was to blow a pistion on a 2 stroke due to not having the right jetting a few hundred of dollars in a pistons way cheaper if you ask me, i tell people that ask me which they should get a 2 stroke or 4 stroke if you want something that ant going to break the bank in repairs get a 2 stroke if you just dont care what it cost to keep a bike going then 4 stroke is for you they going to spend every dollar you got in your bank or wallet

[@braenzlig426]

cant agree with you, why should 4strokes be simpler to maintain ?? i think getting the valves fitted right is much more harder than rebuild a whole 2 stroke engine :D. i dont maintain my bike soo much, just oil change and the air filter if its dirty. only thing i did was he reed valves and a piston change. now it hast 285 hours on it and still runs perfekt ! i wont imagine how much money i had to spend when i rode a 4 stroke for 285 hours :D
