Try using a specific sized coin and pliers to remove those "straight slot" inspection side cover screws. Hate seeing them all butchered.

[@coltensallazzo]

The pro link swingarm is stock on the 250 and the frame was painted white. The yfz has a lowering kit in the front. The shocks should bolt straight to the a arms, not thoes brackets someone put on. And that fuel line going to the carb on the quad is not a fuel line, it's a gas cap breather. Replace with a straight piece of fuel line. You don't want all thoes bends in the line.

Hi I have been watching a lot of your videos and learned soo much about small engine rebuilding. Your videos are like a master class on motorcycle repair. I'm also not ashamed to admit I'll never understand how carburators work, they make absolutely no sense to me lol. I also wanted to ask about something else, some of the motorcycles you repair don't have valves like that old 125 you rebuilt. I'm curious what advantage valves and cams give you over the older way they built 2 cycle motors with out them? Is it more horse power and better fuel management? Just curious. Thanks for your videos and all of the great information.

Everybody's got Banshee fever lol. I love 'em in a straight line, but take one to the track (motocross) and see how they do. They don't handle at all well and a little 4 stroke will blow 'em away every time. If some one were to install a Banshee engine on a modern frame, one with racing suspension tuned for their weight and riding style, they'd have one Hell of a racing machine on their hands.
