I love my 2001 YZ250

[@RealSuburbanCowboy]

It is great to see you bring back an old bike. So many people (myself included) cannot afford a newer bike, and this gives these old bikes a new lease on life.

[@ShaneAllen517]

Love the 01 yz250 my son and i each have one, and an 01 yz167. Still great bikes for what do.

[@stevehughes_5733]

Glad you're doing this as I just bought an '03 YZ250 and am about to start tearing it down to rebuild. Looking forward to the rest of the build series! 👍🏻

[@monchitoscalecrawling5035]

Thanks for the upload. Those steel frame yz's are special

[@ssse3123]

Drink every time Jay says "vapour blasted" 😄

[@stevedouglas1654]

Can’t wait to see this YZ done. I’ve got a 97 YZ285 with yellow plastic ( YZ450F front fender / number plate ) and new Factory Effex retro graphics 👍🔥

[@TheCarlejoseph]

The vaper blasting looks amazing

[@Thomas_496]

Thank you for the inspiration, I’m keen to see how this build turns out I’m currently restoring my 00 yz250 from the ground up with a McGrath/ off-road inspiration about it with the yz-x transmission, 18inch rear wheel, hydro clutch/ Hinson system and a few other bits a pieces. Slowly but surely getting all the parts together

[@humpday2267]

Sounds sweet my dude

[@brentv7299]

Awesome project Jay! I can't wait to see the rest of the videos.

[@wolfsavage6547]

I like this channel y’all help me out with alot

[@sean.g4516]

What other chain adjuster blocks will fit that model bike? They dont make aftermarket blocks for that year 96-01 checked EVERYWHERE. any advice ?? Maybe something from a different bike?

[@robh3267]

That YZ may be old but is far from being a Junker, I just finished rebuilding a 99 KTM and a 99 ATK and it's easy to go overboard if your trying to stay within a modest budget, that bike didn't really need any big dollar items replaced, as long as the cylinder is in decent shape you could do a lot to this bike for a reasonable cost.

I'll send you my 74' Hodaka

[@barnescycle]

White air box probably told the tell on the year

[@estebans6472]

Nice video

[@jt-yt9yh]

Why waste all that time and money on saving the factory rads?? 120.00 on Amazon and you have new and bigger rads. If I'm wrong help me understand. Love what you do these videos are great 👍👍

[@ZSmith-yy4lv]

Honestly, I was kind of worried when I bought some ebay rads for about $120, but damn, those things have been great.

[@humpday2267]

@@ZSmith-yy4lv they don’t look factory. And in some cases they transfer heat at a different rate then stock and it can cause some funky issues sometimes.

[@ZSmith-yy4lv]

@@humpday2267 never had any issues. Good construction (crash tested), and no problems regarding heat.

[@gianluigiveronesi2620]

Buongiorno fuel tank yz250 1998 può funzionare su yz2501999?😊

[@yzsmokin9857]

I'm surprised the tank isn't cracked

[@ShaneAllen517]

Out of 3 stock tanks 3 are cracked!

[@MrExicutioner]

Yeah I've got a '01 YZF 426 and it's cracked several places. Think it's a common problem with those early YZ's.

[@adventuresofjaden6451]

First wassup

[@ratchethunter9058]

Do you have any tips on stripped gas tank nuts where you bolt on the platics? The little square of aluminum is just spinning in circles on my bike

[@jonnoMoto]

Is there much room beneath the brass nut before you get to the plastic? I've been able to use a helicoil sometimes

[@ratchethunter9058]

@@jonnoMoto I dont know, I tried rethreading it but it just spins in circles so i stopped before it gets worse

[@jangoreo]

A YZ cant be a junker, Non running maybe.
