That's an 08 I had the 250 pain in the ass to work on the valves when checking them but other than that ,it's an easy motor to work on , really fun bikes if you know what you're doing, the only issues I ever had was maybe starting issue if it stood too long but normally not a big deal , it's normal for them , the fun bike to work on is the 2010to 2013 motors they're alot easier , but the 450 2005 is really fun shorter stroke but yeah didn't had alot of issues, but not everyone rides the bikes the same and treats it the same so depends on the rider

Hey Morgan. Thank you for you’re amazing videos. Question on timing marks. How far off the level with heads would you think it’s time to worry. My exhaust seems to be just right under level Maybee about level on underside instead of top , while intake is level on top like it should be.

Don’t have a perfect answer for you but that is showing that you have stretch in the chain. You really don’t want that to break so you make the call.

Hey man! I just subscribed, your videos are the best I’ve seen yet. I have one question tho, if I’m about to start a rebuild on my Rmx450z and it’s seized…. Can I disassembled the motor without doing the TDC as long as when I put it back together I set the piston at TDC then set the cams? Isn’t that basically re-timing and I should be good to go???? Your the only one who’s touched on the “it’s not the end of the world if you don’t set it to TDC before you disassemble”. Everyone makes it seem like it’s life or death and it’s starting to confuse me…. Any help is appreciated bro!!!

You definitely don't need to set it at TDC before disassembly. It is going to be in a million pieces and back before you are done. Just make sure you get it set as you go back together!

[@inlandmanorbaptistchurch1240]

2003 Yamaha YZ450F Spark Plug torque is 9.4 ft. lbs. I just did mine and checked my manual. I would also like to hear your thoughts on proper starting procedure as I currently am a first time owner and rebuilding mine. The manual says to absolutely NOT to pump the throttle prior to kicking or when kicking, but I have seen some guys do it and some guys not. So, I am wondering if a person really needs pump the throttle or would the motorcycle start up with out pumping. It would be interesting to run a test doing both methods.

[@highlandcycles]

So, I have found that when the bike is cold and the jetting is right, they really like a couple squirts of the accelerator pump to get started. Now, once the bike is warm, you don't want to give it any throttle at all. That again is if the bike is tuned correctly in my opinion.

@ 8:43, to the ride side of your screen, that chain sprocket - how tight is that puppy supposed to be? Mine was loose, with that thin flat washer, than the nut sits on, bent over the nuts edges, to stop the nut from loosing and backing out. Now I dont know if that bend was intentional, because that sprocket maybe needs some type of wiggle room/play, but yes that whole sprocket was LOOSE. I snugged her up and re bent the washer, but shes snug now. Makes me wonder what kind of discoveries I will discover as I now check this 1st yz450 of mines VALVE CLEARANCES...

helps alot i didnt understand where the 3rd valve is on this engine, i am going to try and shim if needed my wr450f. at the moment the cams on the intake are kinda wonky. intake is pointing down and exhaust is where it is suppose to be. How do you determine which stroke is TDC? you mentioned two of them are technically it

[@highlandcycles]

It doesn’t actually matter. TDC is TDC but when everything is timed up one is compression and one is overlap but you can decide which is which with the cams.

[@travisk1487]

@@highlandcycles the intake cam is very tight and exhaust is ok. every time i would turn the engine over before this vid to get it to tdc i would do it without the spark plug.

That sucks but it happens. Unfortunately it probably screwed something up in the transmission. I’m afraid you’re going to have to split the cases again. You might get lucky and find something wrong on that right side and I would check that first but it sounds like something inside. It’s probably not too big of a deal part wise but you’ll have a bunch more time in it.

[@highlandcycles]

Hahahahaha

[@nastysoda9212]

wow, that oil looks terrible

[@jessgaston1746]

Terrible mechanic to tear the engine apart before even checking the plug haha

[@highlandcycles]

The customer asked us to check the valves. That’s why he brought it in.

[@kenallen8274]

All that work only to realize the spark plugs loose. Engine mechanics 101, check for spark, fuel, compression :) I would be pissed if he did that to my bike.

[@highlandcycles]

The customer wanted a valve adjustment anyway.

[@tomatoknuckles]

Call me silly but I could have sworn I seen him checking for spark like I'm sure everyone else does with the plug out up against a ground 🙄

Hold the camera still, you make me sick.

[@highlandcycles]

We have better cameras now. And thanks for spending energy saying negative things about a free video.

[@gysgrieshaber6421]

Misleading title. No adjustment, just checking valves. Wasted my time
