First REAL Ride On the $500 Yamaha YZ450F *CRAZY POWER!*

HOLY $#!! This bike is crazy fast. I have never ridden a bike this powerful.
This was the first real test ride of this bike, and nothing bad happened other than a little clutch slip! Also, it seems like the exhaust popping on decel problem has been fixed too just by adjusting the fuel screw.

You gotta stand up on the pegs bro

[@fastasfawk9819]

Why

[@quadvloggs6876]

Messing around with the bike was probably one of your coolest clips I've seen to date good stuff

[@theozman38]

If the bike is bouncing you off adjust your rebound or stiffen the shock back there. I’m surprised it sits so low in the back. Raise it up a bit. Bad ass bike goldguy. Looks like a good time.

[@thegameguy5886]

It's nice that your neighbors don't call the cop on you I like that

[@GoldGuyRides]

I never ride for long, just down the street once or twice. If I rode for a long time I would definitely piss my neighbors off and probably get the cops called on me 😅

[@luketarbox7722]

I’m soo jealous, that looked like so much fun. You need to get EVERY bike down there and film way more videos on trails and stuff. Some more motovlogs too! During October break I’m thinking I’ll put my new camshaft to the test like you did in this video. Great work GG

[@kpsmith4241]

popping on decel is really common with the fcr carb, nothing to worry about if your jetting specs are close to where they are supposed to be, its always gonna pop

[@Trevor-oi2fb]

Them 450 are pretty crazy. I went over a 100mph on my buddies 2017 kx450

[@kx250braap]

They don't go that fast too speed is 94

[@LeeKirkman88]

That little fast forward at the end sounded like a Gnat on steroids 😂

[@jjmarz1001]

That Jake is a bike KILLER.

[@jakegregg7153]

126 hours and still going on the original top end

[@chrisjusta3655]

03 yz450f just rebuilt... re jetted thing is a beast.... im 225 lbs

[@BigRobUm]

I have a 03 yz450, and its street legal! So much fun! Great vid!

[@maysingaming9768]

Stand on your pegs with a slight bend to use your legs as like a type of shock/suspension, nice vid keep them coming

[@jeffcook7964]

Nice to see that front end lift so easy as it should,GOOD WORK!!!!!!

[@poppayzf1874]

Maybe adjusting valve clearenses could free you from that popping

[@claytonsmechanicalworld4733]

Awesome dude I remember all the haters in the beginning of this rebuild doubting you

[@purebloodheretic4682]

$500!?? Thats Bargain of the Century! 😎

[@axeman6560]

Great job that bike is sweet! You fixed it yourself that's double sweet.

[@jaceperez4281]

And adjust the the accelerator pump. The lean bog as soon as you crack the throttle is due to the pump actuator arm having too much slack

[@dsearley]

You have to use your pegs, press down on the pegs and use your weight on the pegs for balance. Stand up more if possible!!! That 450 is a beast!!! I have a 2009 kx 450 and it’s a absolute monster!!!! Nice vid

[@bill2444]

Yessss back with another banger been waiting for this one!!!

[@exactly3179]

I just had this video in my recommended and now I just wastet 2 and a half hours watching your yz450 build 😁 but it was so interesting 🤗

[@Timmydog1977]

It's got plenty of power 👍, good job.

[@foreverhungry84]

all your hard work has paid off, sweet bike man.

[@boone7075]

Well that bike was worth the 500 bucks! nice work

[@RealSuburbanCowboy]

To fix the pop, I would check your exhaust header gasket, or the connection between the head pipe, and the muffler. It might be too lean overall! Lot's of people complain of this online.

[@Billy28376]

Mine was too rich. I leaned the mixture screw half a turn. No more popping.

[@nickdecrane2471]

The back part is called the subframe and your timing is off that is why your bike is poping

[@rctodayukshaun4817]

Adjust the fuel screw will stop it popping

[@maxflute7893]

@Tom Richter Merke: Solang das Deutsche Reich besteht, wird die Schraube nach rechts gedreht!

[@JensEskildsen]

Lefty loosy, righty tighty - Unless its upside down, then its the other way around.

[@rctodayukshaun4817]

@Tom Richter best think to do it buy a quick adjust fuel screw off Ebay or your local store these older 4stroke are very picky about the fuel screw just a quarter turn off and they run like crap

[@edisabic3320]

That popping is normal for 450,bike has a to much compresion

[@jjsteez]

and he must change the pilot jet to a 40mm coz its over fueling but if he puts the original 45mm and tunes it properly then he'll be sorted

[@-VAMPYRE-]

Ride on dude.. looking forward to more !!!

[@jasonhenderson2202]

Bro old video but still love it

[@thatbuelldude189]

bought a clean title 1983 Gs450e for 180$ got it running yesterday cleaned the carbs today

[@rexstonbull250]

that was a bright idea.

[@phoenixarizona8441]

Dude in the mud lmao brings back memories out at the pits I had my Yamaha Blaster 200 my a friend on my 200s and a friend on my Manco Dingo 10hp Briggs Stratton dude decided to take the Dingo mudding and got stuck in the middle of mud hole luckily there was someone on 4×4 quad that could pull my buggy out

[@swemx7403]

To remove any popping and bogging, Here is the answer! First, Check your idle jet (Go richer). Second, Check your needle position (Let's say it is on the third clip position, Move the clip one position at a time down and ride the bike to notice any difference). Third, Check your thottle accelerator pump timing. Make sure there are nearly no slack.. Just a tiny bit of slack. Fourth, Clean your carb. You know what, Make that the first thing you do before anything else. My 525sx did the same thing. It was bogging and popping. So I cleaned the carb. Changed the idle from 45 to 48. Changed the needle clip position from 5 to 6. Timed the accelerator pump to get a full squirt of gas. And there you go. If that not fixed you're problem you might have to set/time your valves. I did that too and it starts right up. Cheers!

[@pod8iumproductions955]

The popping wont hurt your bike though if you do want it to stop, check hotstart valve/lever. It might be sticking

[@TheYesmanHD]

for not riding offroad very often, you held your own pretty good, keep it up

[@4D_Recovery]

Bro Ive watched a ton of YT but your style of video is the shit bro was so stoked when it started and road after the new cam cant wait til its throttling man!!

[@xmrrush8355]

Check the slip joint on the exhaust if its leaking it will cause the popping and backfiring on deceleration

[@joolsfreeman4359]

You got it, just need to not be scared of it, line up your route, get in the right gear and gun it up, lean forward to not flip it backwards.

[@jordangembler7142]

Happy for u bro keep up the good work

[@roostmx]

To stop jumping off the bike and honestly to be able to ride more comfortable, stand up more and anytime you go over a jump or a bump stand up so it doesnt buck you over rhe bars

[@scottg9481]

Nice

[@SOCMMOB]

I don’t think you guys are too far from me, I’m near Pittsburgh. Getting on a modern high output dirt bike is a life changing experience. I’m glad you were able to take it out to a good place to ride. It’ll take a bit to get used to a bike like that. Like other have said, definitely try and set your sag and rebound. And yes, practice standing more.

[@zackcalfee4844]

Mine popped like that it's the exhaust and just the sound of a 4stroke as long as it takes gas your good

[@dylanr13]

Very good.

[@brentmack51]

Awsome series dude. Some how I didnt see this one. Omg the banana jockey is a nut. I've got a smaller spot like that one by my place that I've been training at for the Halloween moto. Keep up the great work thanks for sharing

[@mikeeger7581]

You should always carry a bike specific tool roll with you on any ride

[@hexhead5732]

Those Yamaha 450s are fast you’re going to have a good time on that bike they will climb almost everything

[@CJ-ks3he]

Yfz 450 is also very lit

[@jontest5718]

I feel your pain. I’m in the Chicago suburbs. You gotta haul your bike to spots if you wanna ride. I bought my first dirt bike, 08 Yz450f, a year ago and still haven’t gone riding. I ripped it through my neighborhood once and on the prairie path last weekend, which got me death stares as it’s illegal. One of these days...

[@tyl3rlyon]

It was neat seeing the trails that I always ride on your vlog lol Let me know if you guys go back there again or if you need a place to park. Nice vid!

[@GoldGuyRides]

Awesome man thanks!!!

[@EnduroTainment]

i KNEW it was the fuel screw. Probably too lean causing the cracking noise and stalling when whacking the throttle open from idle/popping on decel. You could always weld in a bung for an AFR gauge to properly jet the bike with the cam/pipe/etc. Def don't want to run it too lean. Great job. I just binge watched all of the 450 vids. Inspires more confidence to tear into stuff.

[@phoenixarizona8441]

In. 2000 I had the 2000 Yamaha 426f she was wicked I came from a Yamaha Dt175 and a 250

[@periklis1994ify]

Just a suggestion from a Greek friend. If you have the money put on a mivv or raceguns exhaust if you have a lot of money put akrapovic. You will have much better sound and a little bit more performance.

[@danielbell5487]

Beast keep the good work my friend

[@payton5759]

Awesome video! If you aren't already, standing up while riding helps absorb bumps a lot better, a d is less likely to throw you off the bike.

[@moto9968]

Nice vid man. That's a big bike. Glad that you fixed the slipping clutch. Dude do more riding vids

[@BasicPoke]

More 750! Thanks man.

[@Superbadmamajama]

You should adjust the idle fuel mix screw maybe that could fix your popping. It could also be the new camshaft adding to much gas in the exhaust

[@InfluenceBeats]

sick construction site

[@geoham11]

Check the direction of your ratchet for left or right before putting it on the bolt will let you know if your loosening or tightening the bolt. I sometimes have to do this depending on what angle I'm work👍 Excellent video

[@nonenone1249]

GoldGuy flip the pin that hold the clutch cable to the lever for more clearance.

[@nicholstop8161]

Pretty clean honestly

[@hadipujianto9462]

Nice vlog

[@racingdreamz8021]

I added a radiator fan to mine to ride trails

[@breakwood8531]

This is why I tell people dirt bikes are way more fun the quads.

[@samuelscholtz6629]

Thanks mahn

[@paulpence8895]

Great vids man, good to see you out gaining more experience, riding and wrenching... No matter the level, novice to expert just get your ass out and do it... How much more fun is that bike than a $500 xbox,,, NO comparison right!!!

[@djoxy994]

Just awesome, that bike is fun 😄

Very good video!

[@stuartluig2911]

The popping could also be bad o-rings which arent the funnest to replace

[@nicholstop8161]

It’s a race motor carbs set up for full throttle all the time lol

[@RC-gf2if]

Hi man! Thanks for vids. I have yz450 06 super moto(street legal), and I have much fun on it at this summer. I was build the bike by my own. And at this moment I'm totally disassemble bike for rebuild. Please do not try to start engine with sneakers on, use only proper boots. Especially with wrong timing. It can broke the leg. For carb dismounting it is not necessary fully disassemble subframe. Needed only to remove upper bolt, and relax lower bolts, than move aside subframe. It is possible to take out the carburator from left side(as I remember), at least on 2006 model. Next time then you will be revisiting the carb, you sholud check that zone behind secure torx. On my carb, the gasket was almost totally collapse at hole at the pilot jet. And I have also popping on deceleration, didnt know what to do yet. And I have destructed diaphragm at the accel pump. Didnt know this problems are connected together or not. Sorry for poor english, it is not my main lang.

[@jamesgarnsey7581]

Really good video great job

[@yt_venomousgamin1074]

Love the videos man

[@AlexD02]

Looks like a lot of fun. I want a dirt bike now lol

[@CoralReefkid]

Happy birthday ttr

[@lbdrummer3]

Awesome vid man, about time you stretched it's legs. Your type of riding is so much more different than what we have in the California desert. It's neat to see what other people have. You need to gear up before you start doing crazy stuff. Regrowing flesh sucks...

[@Burntrice747]

That whistle is from the bike being way too rich which can also cause backfire if not tuned properly. After tinkering with the carburetor, you should get more power.

[@jerryibarra7958]

Please make an update on the subaru build pls

[@quadvloggs6876]

Get rid of that janky fuel line set up and you'll be able to spin carb a lot easier

[@DanCassidy1989]

Valve clearance will be the reason for exhaust popping.

[@ardennielsen3761]

The intonation coil plug melted on the 5 valve 249 that I have been working on. Would have to get a new plug for the wire harness and a ignition coil, thin braided wire stuffed in the pin holes of the ignition coil plug on the wire harness with electric grease on everything... cleaning the wire contacts with a pick can be nesasary... grease the braided wire before insertion, stuff it in to far and it's gone... to much grease and the connector won't go back on the coil.

[@shannonscott5788]

I have an 2005 with carb. Valve adjustment and carb adjustment woke my 450 up..what year is your bike? #nice video

[@OldestYoungenInGuidePost]

The bit were you used your phone 🤓🤓🤓👨🏼‍⚕️👨🏻‍🔬😋👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@flavius5885]

Good job!

[@yt_venomousgamin1074]

I think a good video idea is that all the bikes that you have worked on/brought you should put tuem all in a line and tell us what you have done to them and what you did it for

[@sixpacksandsrts9122]

YT_VenomousGamin Or just watch the videos and know

[@lanestegman9293]

This is some of the sketchiest riding I’ve seen in a long time 😂😂😂

[@jamesrobert7155]

For sure!! No boots, at least wear some construction boots are something.

[@sixpacksandsrts9122]

Come on jake. Show yourself in the comments. Reply to me I’m from butler

[@jakegregg7153]

Here I am

[@jarredsvlogs9185]

You need to put the idol up and you need to put a 4 mm Pilot jet

[@JoShUa_J78]

Can you do a video on all those bikes

[@oddis188]

Once you ride a dirt bike you'll understand why people say (atleast in Finland) to go stretch your wrists.

[@sugarboylewis7972]

Sweet

[@mikeeger7581]

Also you should consider switching to a lectron carburetor on it way better

[@jaredheilemann4795]

I got stuck in clay like that this past weekend on my ktm 350 XC-F 😂😂

[@Jay-vr8it]

Get that on a track asap

[@paulsnow2886]

Hi, in summer, I buy bike Yamaha WR 450F model 2017.This bikes is crazy fast and funny.

[@mikeeger7581]

Jake the garden snake channel will help you with the lectron conversion

[@SpokenSense]

YZ450F as your first dirtbike 🤣

[@GoldGuyRides]

Actually my first dirt bike was a Drz 125, I sold that bike long ago

[@AKAFUBU1]

Cool 😎

[@quadvloggs6876]
