I Finally Bought a Yamaha YFZ450 Quad! INSANELY POWERFUL

[@2vintage]

What do you guys think I should do with this quad? Please SUBSCRIBE and LIKE the video if you enjoyed! It really helps me out a lot! Check out my Instagram: 2_vintage_ Thank you for the support!

[@jamiesmo91]

If you know a good Tig welder they may be able to fix that case but would require splitting the motor but if your going that far may Aswel replace the whole case. I have had a few mates that have had them and lack of maintenance and many hours they can throw a rod and when they do they go straight through the crank case. If your going that far with pulling it apart I'd replace the crank and throw a high comp piston in it. But great score, over here in Australia there fetching $6000+ even in rough condition

I would do away with that so called racing intake and go for the stock air box cause that junk will suck in water and dust and wear out the top end prematurely

I’d do that or get if they make one for carb model an fuel customs intake with box

[@leejennings173]

If you get real muddy when riding, put an air box on there. I’ve always been happy with K&N or Uni. Stock is, well stock, but will get the job done. Yamaha is on top of their game. Ready for Honda to join back in with an upgraded EFI 450R… get some competition going again! Keep it up, boss!

I gotta give this young man a thumbs up on every one of his videos simply because he is out there doing it, learning along the way and making a little $$ too. But I must say one mans mint condition is another mans clapped out pile. Very few bikes or atvs on this channel have truly been mint condition and ran as such. No Hate or trolling just a little constructive criticism from one atv/bike lover mechanic to another.

True ...but he gets a ton of em!

[@twowheelterror2925]

That's honestly why I watch his channel tho... He buys and fixes stuff that most people would have little interest in bothering with. Then he shows you himself fixing it on a shoestring budget and getting some decent work and results in the process. Anything can be fixed, and I love seeing someone out there dedicated to do it with bikes and atvs.

You will never regret only that four-wheeler. I've never had one but my good friend had one for a while and he regrets getting rid of it. I have gone to his house to work on it a few times as far as the carburetor goes. The thing is absolutely ridiculous. He's had a lot of fool willers and that one by far was the fastest. It would walk the dog mess out of every other Fuller and dirt bike he had. Has no hesitation on take. The thing is an absolute beast. An absolute wheelie machine.

When u rev it in neutral the tail light would give a pulse flash. On for a split second. Almost every time u revved it. Something isn't right somewhere and I'm thinking a ground in the harness. Not letting the taillight work right and now suddenly no spark. Look into that k man. And also test spark with a brand new plug. Not one thats been used at all. I would buy both case halves b.c. they are machined and matched together. I wouldn't risk fitment or clearance issues man. Go to bolt them together unmatched cases and one could crack. Then u gotta buy the other one anyways and re do all your work. Just buy both bro!!! I want one now after seeing this lol

Crankcases are machined at the factory as a pair so should be replaced as a pair. If you strip the engine a good welder could probably fix that damage. With spark issues I'd start at the plug and work back. The cdi should be the last port of call. Could be the coil breaking down once hot. Do the cheap stuff first.

[@BitcoinYooper]

Yah I was just looking on Rockymountainatvmc at there oem diagrams and parts. Looks to be a matched pair, can't buy left or right like on say the 400ex. Showing plenty in stock for $381.12 on the yfz crankcase assembly. They got the oem stator cover in stock as well. Idk if I was keeping it I'd just patch it and send it.
