200 K You should do a Is Yamaha big bear 350 1990

[@Davido50]

Well worth it! 1 of your best machine's. Change the oil again SOON. Get some semi-synthetic Yamalube or Maxima oil an good oil filter (Yamaha or K&N etc) then you good for 20hrs.

[@David-lx6yc]

Wow... you hit 200K!!! It's amazing seeing you grow. Started watching back in the old rm 125 days. You have inspired me to start dirt biking a couple years ago, and it was the best decision ever Congrats on the 200K!

And the winner of the number one shade tree mechanic goes tooooo??!! Mr. Wd-40

[@unchained20000000]

The boy got the courage to put the case together without being a numbered match, why? Cause he's doing it himself. That's the perks of being a mechanic.

[@mrsandman5679]

You have inspired me a lot and thanks to you, I myself have started buying mopeds and dirt bikes to work and fix. A few weeks ago I split and renovated my first engine which was really fun and went very smoothly. You have taught me a lot and I have benefited a lot from your videos. Congratulations to 200k you really deserve it! Looking forward to more videos you do a really good job.

[@TheNeoCubest]

been waiting for this heccckkkkk yeaaaaa

[@clutchitsystems100]

Outstanding diagnosis and rebuild!

[@maxtheroofer8004]

i wonder if the squeaking is a mis-aligned bearing or a dry bearing. It appears as though you do not pre lube anything when you put it back together. you really should get some engine assembly lube and lube all journals, bearings before puttinf back together

KEEP THIS QUAD! YFZ450 is easily best all around 450cc quad ever made. They run great, fast & durable! Have a '10 YFZ450X bought new (10hrs total tho this summer I'm gonna race it). Also, own '21 Raptor 700R. My baby!

The squeak or chirping you hear is carb, it’s an fcr carb and it’s just the nature of them, have a 2012 trx with an fcr and it does that same thing . Just figured I’d say that!

[@rickymartin5881]

Nice job bro!! I just picked up an 04 for my son. Kinda same thing needs work no spark so hope it's the stator lol

Have you done a video on the raptor 350 yet? If you haven’t, can you?

[@KMOTO56]

Good Job on the repairs!! The only thing I would recommend…. Is cleaning parts & the cases better & using compressed air to blow out all parts. 👍😬

[@robertsereno791]

When you were checking for spark I noticed it was sparking from the boot also , don’t know if you noticed incase it runs crappie take a look, great video

[@lt-z-quadnation6644]

I saw that also at 24:37 mark.

[@connersnow298]

Congrats on 200k subs. You deserve more tho so just keep grineding

[@lt-z-quadnation6644]

So many projects going on that I forgot about the 450. 🤣 Did you see the comment about the plug boot arcing ? 24:37 mark in the video top of the boot was arcing to the head. 🙂

[@swade_macky8927]

Finally...who else been waiting

[@shotgunz124]

That’s exactly right I see people only put one half on and have leaks They are matched together u have to do both but that’s on 2 strokes

[@sandmanbub]

I saw sparks between the spark plug cap and the valve cover when you were checking for spark. It asked where it's supposed to and where it's not. It'd be a good idea to clean and inspect it for cracks. Hopefully, it's just dirty. Seen some bikes turn into fireballs because of the plug cap and a fuel leak. Dang easy to get bit when handling the cap on a running engine.

[@mikestowe6136]

[@TimArmbruster]

Nice fix! Don't forget a case saver so it doesn't happen again!

[@Amac1825]

Better put a case guard on it so the chain dont make a repeat visit

[@2vintage]

Yep I bought a nice one

[@karlomihaljus]

@@2vintage where do you buy a case guard for chain?

[@DylanDubs-xe3ej]

Do u not use a gasket between the 2 case halves? Surely it would leak or start leaking within 6 months if rode regularly..?

[@2strokemxclassics]

Good vid man Just a tip when your pulling cases together have the bottom case flat and still and facing upwards parellel to other case(make a square wooden stand so the shafts don't touch the floor) so the top case slots down directly over the shafts etc. on a slant like this something could move out of place

[@keithphillips1234]

Proud of you bro! I’d have done the same Thing and think of the piece of mind you will have now knowing about your investment. Awesome.

[@Davido50]

Runs good! Can't beat Yamaha. Use a good 10w40 semi synthetic engine oil Joe...& don't forget to change the oil filter on rt side of engine.

[@jazalessandro3094]

I use semi syth 10w-50 for wet clutch & never looked back!

[@rhiantaylor3446]

I'm not sure how you would check that the two haves fit together but I didn't see what you did to check either. My concern would be that clearance holes for e.g. the crank bearings, might have been align-bored for a matched pair of case halves. The minimum I would have wanted to do would be to check for excess drag from crank or gearbox etc.

[@2vintage]

Yeah I figured if they didn't line up they would have pinched the crank. I tested to make sure crank was smooth and bearings were free from drag. I got pretty lucky with it matching up.

[@cosminvlog4586]

200K GG BRO

[@connersnow298]

Awesome vid and edits and filming and bikes

[@diznuts7225]

Love the vid but what was your favorite project

[@dennisbrooks186]

Anybody want to hate take it elsewhere! I've seen Joe fix more stuff in a not so by the book manor, but with his own little twist of how he does things, they come out sweet. And Joe had to clip some footage to shrink the video down so don't go saying he didn't lube shit up when u don't have the slightest clue what he did off camera!!! The motor fired right, the cams were squeeling, or parts knocking around. He works outside on cardboard on the ground so we, and him, have better lighting then inside the dark garage. And about the cases, its all done by computers so I wouldn't worry about it on a motor thats been heated and cooled a million times. If they were both brand new unmatched cases, then I would've fit the together with only dowel pins inside. NO bearings. No crank, no trans, put dowels, match up, and see where the bolts all land, the bolts line up, everything else will line up. My machinist said the banshee is one to worry about. The banshee motor is machined together as a set. All other cases are casted from a mold.

[@thesquirefromtheshire5864]

[@cheto2952]

You need to cover those wires up, I highly suggest you go back and find out why the oil is leaking from the drive seal

[@just_in_time5518]

Congrats on 200K! Maybe another dirt bike give away?

[@benschlack5814]

those cases are matched and are not to be used Mitch matched or serious internal engine damage will occur according to the manufacturer not a good move when you had the other half

[@stopcensoringmyfreespeech3280]

Nice so far so good.

[@sandmanbub]

I'd think about re-torquing the head bolts if that squeak is coming from the head gasket area. Wish I could tell, by video, where the squeak is coming from.

[@keithparady2594]

Did you see that the plug boot was sparking also might wanna check that out

[@dennisbrooks186]

The metal part where u fit the socket was arching on the head. Its not an issue. Happens all the time if u don't physically hold and press the plug firmly onto the cylinder head. I have it happen to me all the time lol. Good eye tho man

[@gtisid]

thats a big chunk of change to put into a quad, yamabond is good stuff never leaks ....... hope you make a profit on it just wish you would clean your engines down better it makes a build look so much better.

I still don't know why you haven't built some kind of work bench. You love working on the ground. You going to have back problems one day. At least you could go down to the dollar store and buy you a cheap folding table. But good job.

[@johnnyjohnson2942]

That's bs, factory team cases may be matched but definitely not stock cases. Due to the size and thiness of cases it would be very hard to likely not worth while. Surfacing on a peace of ceramic is ideal if even needed.

[@johnnyjohnson2942]

It should be added, matching mainly came from matching ports where fuel/air flow is affected.

[@allroundadventures1318]

Should never mix n match cases many factors cases ARE machied as apair so in a sense matched no mechanic would ever reccomend mixing cases also those bearings would have worn n seated to the crank that was in the engine b4 being stripped it is recomended change them due to every crank espescially used ones have diffrent amount of runout on crank causing premature wear or even failure it isnt worth saving money on beariings rather replace also on the yzf engine should replace the seal that seals oil pump outlet located inside outer case near water pump can cause oil pressure loss has a hard centre seal also really shouldnt have to force case halves back together should be smooth . Anyways i enjoy the vids jut thought this info might help in the future

[@averagecarguy420]
