Revival of a $1200 YZ250 Dirt Bike from Start to Finish

[@devodar2579]

Had Bose headphones on while I watched the vid on a huge Mac display...your video and sound quality is so spot on it's scary good. The up close shots of you installing things, the sequence you use, the mic sound to include music and slight background noise, etc. is just super. It all carried across when going out to ride...what a great show!!!

[@KincadePavich]

What an awesome comment. Thanks for the feedback, made my morning. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!

[@FTW1374]

Sunday morning breakfast and coffee with a new Kincade build! All is right with the world!

[@justinthomas27]

What’s for breakfast?

[@bigdm9349]

Lololololol the smooth jazz on reassembly had me going!!!

[@richardsiegfried9423]

Great video Kincade! Im new to dirtbikes in general but ive been riding them for years. Working on them is something im starting to do. Thanks in advance!

[@CraigSteinman-zt3vu]

What a score with the Hinson clutch!!!.those 02s are alot faster than people think and whole lot better than previous models those 02s are a very underrated bike!!

[@panic-revv85]

It's been the same motor since 99...

[@ChristopherOborny]

just bought my first motorcycle today! a 2000 suzuki dr-z400 cant wait to turn it into an adventure bike!

[@graemebartmann5120]

Great bikes,if you can find one

[@Sunspot-19]

Glad to see you show this bike some love and give it the second wind needed to keep haunting the trails, Kincade. Lovely overhaul, as always, brother!

[@AngryyBeaverr]

Am I going crazy or did I watch this video a while ago??

[@KincadePavich]

@@AngryyBeaverr haha you’re not going crazy! I always do a start-to-finish video that ties an entire series into 1 single video.

ohhh i thought i was tripping too lol

We sure as shit did

[@holdenmann04]

@@KincadePavich Why post a whole series and then repost it all into 1 video? Just post the 1 long video and start the next build video 🤷‍♂️

[@KincadePavich]

@@holdenmann04 because then I’d only upload a video every 3 or 4 months. I’ve been doing this for every build for the last 3+ years.

Absolutely amazing 🗣️ Owner of an up and coming power sports business, and I’m here to say, you did a fantastic job.

[@richardehair-kz9np]

Bike turned out awesome KP, I swung a leg over an 01 about 15 years ago, OMG it definitely was a blast to ride. I've kinda kept an eye out for one ever since. We'll see!!

Looks sick! Definitely learned a couple things throughout this video.

[@yamaharider717]

Really cool video except for the end when I saw a black background with white numbers on a YZ250 lol I’m never letting that go. Nice work 👍🏻

[@andrewluff482]

love the videos man, i just recently got into dirt biking. I'm a semi mechanic and am looking to getting into working on bikes/atvs. Your videos are awesome and I learn a lot. Keep up the great work!

Great video brother, everything is fast paced and you explain it all so well. The jazz music was a beautiful touch.

Got me bricked up!

[@fearfullmyth]

6:54 my heart dropped when i saw that c clip for the wrist pin almost fall into the bottom end😳😳 forgot to put a paper towel but you didnt forget to put one when assembling it back together😅👍🏾

This was a good revival I really think you should do more things like this

Great Video KP..I recently got a very Nice Low Hour 2019 YZ250X..Man I am Loving it.. You can do anything with this beast..MX,Cross Country,Trails, Fire Roads, You Name it. I also want to say a Big Thank You for responding to my email.. Great Advice. 🙂👍

[@NathanRhodon]

Dude!!! Grew up all through Middle School and High School on an 03' Yz 125.. This video was awesome and hearing her whine out brought back memories!! . Good Job and keep creating content !!! P.S... I ran Castor 927 in my bikes Premix.? Food for Thought....😊

[@ksboi29]

YT algorithm finally worked tonight.

[@RustHeadGarage]

I got a '03 YZ250 for $300 since 3rd gear "skips". Have not yet torn into it but it starts and is in decent condition. Not sure why he let it go for just $300 but it was a saturday the weekend before payday and he seemed ready to go out on town so perhaps needed some beer money :P

[@itssalvadorr]

Love the vid man you’re the reason I’m getting into dirtbikes. Hopefully getting my first one next year🙏

[@yamkawmedia]

That moment at 29:41 was hilarious!

[@bryandejonge6778]

Hey man i love your video’s, I want to give a tip. If you place a new bearing you can better use a socket of the same size as the outside ring of the bearing.

[@jonerikaustin2743]

Amazing video! You got a new subscriber 😁 I want to be as proficient as you when it comes to bikes and to be able to rebuild them just the way you’re able to. I Look forward to more content 🎉

[@shermgaboo6331]

I just snagged a 2000 ktm exc 300 that was pretty neglected, it’s my first project but it was too good of a deal. It started up after a simple carb clean but I immediately took it apart to give it a proper clean and powder coating. Now I need to figure out why it’s not shifting, completely soft. I’m hoping it’s just re oiling the plates

[@cliffanderson7544]

Shift drum/ Shift fork! I just did mine.

I would love to see you do an older 80, the return might not be as much but itd scratch that nostalgia itch

[@brumfiba]

I often have delusions of rebuilding a bike and I'm glad i found this video to slap some sense into me

[@workhorse81]

Kincade, you should do a BRC 500cc conversion build on an aluminum frame YZ250.

[@ezrarandall]

does anyone know a good vid on how to attach the wiring on a predator 212? i have a simple gokart and just bought the 212 but am unsure of how to connect wiring ty

Damn bro jazz and engine building slaps haha nice

[@Officialmizifyy]

Dang man that’s nice knowing how to rebuild dirtbike engines mine just blew on me last week and everyone is charging me a lot to rebuild it

[@Wewhoooooo]

All I have to say is!!! Im watching this! MY WIFE!!!! Rolled over(does NOT LIKE this type of stuff) says she appreciates the music and thought you put into the video…( the 30 seconds she watched) THEN ROLLED OVER!!!!!! ….IIIII Fucking love the music flow,work,your comments and EDIT!!!!!! Awesome VIDEO!!!!!!

Love too see a old twinshock Fantic 🙏🙏

[@BeRAD]

Whoever touched the bike before you….PUT DOWN THE TOOLS AMD STEP AWAY 😂. I’m with ya…we all gotta learn somehow but some of the stuff like the slide spring retainer on the throttle housing is ridiculous! Clear negligence lol. Nice video man

[@KincadePavich]

Hahah right?! Many Easter eggs with this one. Thanks man!

Every time I see a dirtbike video I get jealous knowing I’ll never be allowed to buy a dirtbike

[@babooshka5683]

Hey Kincade, I would absolutely love to see you build a yamaha 125 2 stroke. You did a fantastic job on your cr 250 and it would be sick if you could do up a yamaha mx bike as well.

[@Zt3v3]

Good call checking the work before trying to run it.

[@MasonJobe43]

Kincade, nothing against your wrenching, but moving forward I would recommend to only ever build something with Pro-X bearings. Hot rods are know to be cheap chinesium exploding bearings. Other than that great stuff!

[@griffinrubidge6953]

I saw you spraying the pressure washer directly on to your chain, is that not bad for it?

I‘d love to rebuild bikes like you do. Saw a Yz250 for sale but the seller said it would not go into first gear. What tools do I actualy need and which are nice to have but replaceble for tearing down the bottom end? I love your videos greetings from germany🤘

Growing up, this was the bike i always wanted and man i am jealous as a mf. Lol great video brother.

[@Caleb-r9x]

Hey Kincade I love your videos and I’ve been a fan for about a year and a half now you make some of the coolest bikes I’ve seen. I know you have worked on a couple rm125 and I wanted to know if you could help me at all. I’ve gone through the whole bike and rebuilt it, tightened every bolt to spec but I am still having issues with the top end power and my clutch still doesn’t initiate fully. I’ve rode my buddy’s yz125 recently and it has way more top end power and torque. I am just very stumped and I don’t know what to do because every video I watch says that rm125s are very fast and have good torque it might just me a skill issue but I can’t even pop my bike up in second gear with clutch, I just don’t understand what is wrong with it. If you have any tips please let me know or things that I could try to fix these problems 🙏

Oh boy, here we go.... Lol. Always a happy day when there's a new Kincaid video, but I might have to edit this comment after I've done watch the video.😂 ETA: As an honest person, I am always blown away by how disingenuous most sellers of used motorcycles are.

[@igctugjg]

what was the cost of the projekt? Nice video man!

[@MylesPeila]

Hey kincade, I am 12 years old and I’m currently working on my 2007 kx100. I am trying to find the right parts for a good price. I need a new chain, new hardware and a new silencer at the least. I am looking for some suggestions for where I should look. I was wondering if you had any suggestions.

[@KincadePavich]

@@MylesPeila I would use Rocky mountain!

[@sip_90]

How much did u put into total ? Awesome vid!

[@VBMichael_D]

How much total do you have invested in the rebuild (excluding the $1200)? I'd like to do the same thing to my 03 KX250 this spring (except I paid $500 for mine).

[@KincadePavich]

In terms of "must have" items to get the bike back up and running reliably, I spent around $400. Just about everything else was covered by sponsorships. If I was doing this with no help and on a budget, I could've had this thing running reliably all in for around $1700 including bike cost. As for total with everything shown in this video, probably around $3200 including bike cost.

[@VBMichael_D]

@@KincadePavich Mine needs a top (with possibly a 265 big bore kit) and bottom rebuild, and probably a carb rebuild as well. Bleed/flush brakes, and at the very least, ensure the forks and shock are dialed in and sealed. I'm hoping I can be out no more than $2K, esp if I do the work myself.
