Yamaha WR250F Dirt Bike Project - CHANGE OF PLANS

[@edlockrow6581]

Easier to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission when purchasing. I love you guys. God bless and keep you safe. thanks for the vid.

[@wobblysauce]

Should be a Presidenti.

[@SpaceCowboy5555]

I've got a spare yz426 gas tank I can send over for free. It will fit your bike but you'll have to get a matching seat. Let me know if you're interested, great vids!

[@jeffcampbell3129]

SpaceCowboy5555 I’ll take it for my wr400 if you still have it?! One of the bolts on shroud was stripped by the previous owner on mine.

[@cjkinder1490]

I need one

[@AuntBsSouthernSerpents]

I am 53 yrs old and I still love dirt bikes. I have a RT 100 project I have started on. I have gotten new clutch plate kit, new carb, new crank bearing seals. New throttle cable, and a oil pump block off kit. I'd rather mix oil and gas. It is just something to play around with and won't hurt myself to bad if I wreck. LOL. I do ride a FZ07 street bike. I love it. Keep the videos coming, I learn a lot from you guys.

[@thatdudemoe9109]

Just found this guy...he is my new ChrisFix lol but better...motorcycles

[@kilowatttheorignal]

Yeah

[@F.M_Agrarvideos]

In addition he shows his face.

[@harisbuza8862]

The wr/yz 250f was ahead of its time when it was released. A seriously good bike and well worth the cost to rebuild.

[@midwestdipper]

I subscribed for the Shasta build, but I now keep coming back for that quirky sense of humor!

[@jaywalt1311]

Same!

[@tylerfoster7407]

Greetings from Alabama! Your videos have given me the knowledge and the inspiration to fix my 2001 YZ250F that’s been sitting neglected for almost 6 years. I would binge watch all your videos while cleaning the carb, heat gun the plastics etc. Happy to say she’s looking and running great now. Got a few idea for it too based on your projects. Thank you for the joy and entertainment you and your wife bring to the the KZbin community. Keep on keepin on!

[@DaveMyMateDave]

Ah guys, stumbbled across these today on a rain soaked London Saturday. I loved them all and thank you for making them.

[@bramvermaat1453]

Man, just discoverd this channel, and can't stop watching. It's great to see how you 2 get along, and this all feels super genuine and natural. I've had some difficult relationships in my life, and the way you 2 communicate makes me realize how a healthy and good relationship should look and feel like. I could say so much more, but would just like to say thanks!

[@user-zh7zj8cw2i]

The synergy between you and your wife is awesome! And with all do respect - it's her comments and interaction that separates you guys from everyone else. Great job.

[@YuriFurry]

you using milimeters for measuring the valves makes me very happy :D

[@e_pgandy1770]

Dude I’ve been on a trip since 6:00 this morning and I’ve only watched you. This is the best channel on KZbin and I’ve learned so much thank you

[@shannunvanderwal4232]

Wow ive been watching since the trail 90 days bc i have one also and you really taught me every thing about the ol girl and and i decided to get her to run again after i had to replaced the bent exhaust valve love the channel it feels like family to me

[@hyrumbeck2739]

Do whatever you want Jake! We will watch you and love it!

[@skippygirl959]

Just got done working on my own project and now I get to relax and watch you work on yours!

[@The33TIGGER33]

Good call camera girl on the Shasta.

[@claypigeon001]

She said it milliseconds after I thought it!! 😂😉

[@miawallace2785]

Not diet Shasta ????? Please Noooooo

[@monkeysrcrazy1]

I'm new the the channel. This bike has been my introduction to the channel and I gotta say, I love your guys relationship. It's very heartwarming ☺

[@SOCMMOB]

My first bike was a 74 DT175, so Yamaha holds a special place in my heart.

[@danthemowermedic4444]

Ya know, I was brought to your channel by watching every small engine video I could on mowers and such. Back when Camera girl wasn't in the garage yet. But your videos have given me the gumption to broaden my spectrum of engines. Next after my John Deere 108 resto will be a 2 stroke dirt bike (or minibike) 😅😂 love your humor and glad your wife enjoys helping the making of your videos. Wish mine would be so adventurous! You lucky dog you!! 👌💪

[@craigbruening5220]

I love your videos. They inspire me to fix my projects I even bought a trailer to fix up as well

[@geoffreyjones2000]

I just got rid of mine :)

[@norcalnate3342]

Such a fun channel, camera girl is always quick on the comebacks. Excited to see it come together.

[@brysonrobinson8293]

I’m glad you got it running it sounds really good I hate seeing bikes broke down

[@MISERSTYLE]

Fantastic video! I love that you're taking input from the comments. Can't wait for the next video.

[@willfranke4166]

I just but a 2006 old 300r, I added a high airflow intake, put some racing jets in the carb and the a whole lot of other smaller things. One thing I did was black out the fenders because I think the green is honestly a terrible color. But I learned how to do the carb and stuff from these videos

[@furlvr1961]

How about finishing the travel trailer!!!! That is the whole reason why I subscribed.

[@mws3779]

I always thought it was cool how you made Kawasaki street legal. When I was younger I always wanted to make my Yamaha IT125 street legal. Unfortunately it sits in apart in my parents garage collecting dust, likely never to run again. Maybe one day I will have the monetary means and will to put it back together and get it running. But I find all your work very inspirational, maybe one day you will inspire me enough to tackle that project.

[@layfedrawsstuff8106]

M W S sold! I’ll take it

[@jmccormick1490]

By far the most entertaining bike repair vids!

[@cooper1258]

Really enjoyed your WR250 content. Great timing as I'm looking at buying one. Love that you skip the nonsense like removing bolts etc, but keep the relevant stuff. Keep it up guys, you make a fantastic team!

[@MortyGG]

Nice little update! Glad to hear you'll finish her up. Really wanted you to do that :)

[@vincentrayhista1224]

it's short but sweet, again thanks for this kind of videos you are sharing. That WR is kinda getting me pumped

[@joshuacheek5140]

I traded up for a yz250 few years back. it was just the motor and frame. Spent a year rebuilding it and was a few tiny parts away from riding when I had to part ways with it. I wanted to get back into riding this year so I bought an underpowered clone xg250 tricker. Now after watching your video I have decided on what engine I want to swap into it. Ps been watching for a while now but just realized I somehow I was no longer subscribed. Fix that now I have a few vids to catch up on. Thanks for the great vids.

[@SMKreitzer1968]

Always enjoy your videos. You did a great job on the bike, plastics looked good to me, now they will be exceptional. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

[@Iseekoutthetruth]

I love when you get you son involved.

[@austinjohnson303]

This bike has come so far! Can’t wait to see if I have a chance to buy or even win this machine!!

[@Jimmahhh]

Just found this channel, love it and both of you guys have great attitudes, really keeps me entertained while watching and great to learn stuff too!! Super cool channel one of my favorites on youtube right now!!

[@TristanFerlesch]

I'm so glad you're making videos again

[@vformarallo]

Kx100 next nice! To be honest the plastics in the yamaha didn't seem too bad haha. Cheers!

[@travissabolik5276]

I want to start by saying, I started watching your videos last week and I have binge watched almost all of them. You and your family are wonderful, and it seems like you all have a very tight knit close relationship and it’s valued, that’s so rare to find these days. Also you are a very intelligent and savvy man, I have a great appreciation for your videos and everything I have seen so far. With that being said, I personally would love to see you sell this bike and fund a project that may be slightly out of your wheelhouse, but one I would love to see, and I’m sure several other folks would love to see also. My suggestion for a project is to find a Yamaha Blaster frame, and do a YZ250 swap into it.... granted I know the blaster is way out dated, and there are bigger power plants on the block than the YZ250, but I have seen so many shotguns craftsman attempt this project and they all fail or come up short.... I really feel like you have the fabrication and mechanical aptitude to make it safe and reliable and practical without taking the shortcuts I have seen others take. Anyways, thank you for this channel and sharing your love of all things, and your dedication to putting forth effort to do things in a respectable way, and I can’t wait to see your future projects!!

[@clarkpark]

Finally a new video! Only 5 mins tho ;(

[@DonnyT744]

Good call. Can't wait to see whats next. I still love the trail 90/125.

[@granolagasoline2725]

Had the same issue with my 2004 YZ250F with the bolts not able to come out of the gas can housings. My attempts later, gonna need to replace the gas tank the same as you did.

[@OneBoysDreamFilm]

Get in!!!! the main man is back your such an inspiration

[@SubsWithnovideochallenge-kf8zs]

I can't wait for you to fully restored this I love you guys so much

[@jeffperkins9204]

Id love that bike, but I think id rather get one to restore myself thanks to your inspiration!

[@painistruth1]

5:33 is not enough we NEED more!🤯🤯🤓

[@senorboardhead]

Great. - as always - keep ‘em coming...I wanna see Camera Girl tearing up some asphalt on that streetified KX !

[@knuckledraggerfinance]

Woohoo! I opened KZbin just now solely to see if you posted about the bike!! :)

[@joescott690]

Man that video was way too short! I look forward to watching your videos with an ice cold beer in my hand! 😢

[@Zapdos6996]

Wait 12 years for an upload and then it's 5 minutes. My soul hurts.

[@johnpossum556]

Leave him alone, him & his wife was busy shaving his back hair and glueing it onto his head so he could film himself.

[@dazednconfused31337]

Ah soul

[@noyopacific]

Jennies Garage has posted 7 videos in the past 2 months but still, you should demand a refund of all the money that you paid them.

[@its_just_me7057]

I love these guys and Jenny is GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@silly-xd8uq]

Some people have a life dude...

[@maxwellssilverhammer]

Holy smokes! A new upload!

[@timothykronser135]

It's a good day when a video comes out!

[@travisk1487]

I was able to patch up my 1997 yz250's HUGE gash in the tank that came from it being an older bike, and sitting in the southern california sun for some summers. I simply cut a few strips of "welding rod" which was HDPE Plastic that came from a shampoo bottle. I sealed up the initial crack with the soldering iron, then I fed in my material into the crack. I did this until it wouldn't leak. simple as.

[@jimwms1able]

Build it.....awesome....don’t let a good bike go without bringing it back to its glory or better yet, make it better than it was.

[@Theogvineofthedead]

Mechanics give me a bunch of motivation, you are like a doctor you just work with artificial/mechanical life instead of biological. Definitely super cool and entertaining/educational.

[@pik2490]

Please tell me you ordered the updated plastics kit for it. Bring it out of the early 2000's.

[@callummackay4863]

You know you are early when KZbin says no views, likes or comments

[@TheExquisiteRoofer]

CM Outdoors even weirder when you get here and it says the upload was 4 hours ago but your comment 5 hours ago..

[@callummackay4863]

James Austin haha yes that’s odd

[@mytennesseedays9528]

A best describers of yours since the 1st episode of the generator. Before I even finish the video I hit the subscribe Button. I understand Life and how it gets busy. Whenever I say a new video Uploaded. I always immediately stop what I'm doing. To see what you and camera girl are up to. Always enjoyed videos . See you next video!!

[@MotoMango]

Excited to see what you do with the bike!

[@foetwinny]

I can't take another week or two for another video. DAILY OR RIOT! Love your videos guys, thank you :)

[@woodesroger]

make a 2WD it'll be a challenge and an amazing experience for you and us :)

[@tokyo6582]

Missed ya guys, I just bought a 95 WR250 2stroker, been a major pain so far 😞

[@jenniesgarage]

Hope you get it going, those are nice bikes!

[@ryanfitzgerald1258]

Great video. I like the comedic style.

[@X3sA]

Hey Guys, Im planning to rebuild a dirt bike by myself. I ve no experience at all. But I want to learn it. When purchasing a bike. What should I be looking for, or what should I as a beginner not choose to repair? Thanks

[@dtq7388]

Yay Camera Girl!! Shasta!!!! We want Shasta!

[@BustedknucklesProspecting]

Hell yeah 🤠 I’m hooked on these videos 😂

[@keithpruett7971]

Love these videos

[@builtfutures4971]

Even tho there wasn't much in this vid I still enjoyed it. I'm super happy today because after watching your videos with the wr250f and replacing the cases I thought well he makes it look easy so how bad could it be? So I pulled out my ttr225 and replaced the stator even thought a bolt was stripped. It's not tough and your videos gave me the encouraging kick in the bum to go do it

[@jenniesgarage]

Yeah! Good job!!

[@christianmarks431]

I love your video every time u upload I watch it I need that bike lol

[@rogerthat9174]

Since you put in your time and aggravation and money 💰 keep it. You earned it....

[@mxrider2strokebraaap54]

I love the wr build series, can’t wait for the next one🤙

[@hdjxjd]

Can't wait for the KX 100 vids. Lookin to get something similar for my wife.

[@25wasthespeedlimit40]

Great, now I'm about to journey down the whole Corvette rabbit hole

[@aatos8522]

Why wouldnt you just weld a nail or something to those fuel tank screws and pry them out and just tap some new ones in?

[@shaun8309]

Good Vid, thanks for the update. When is the Garage makeover video coming?

[@BrokenSprocket]

nice update vid mate.

[@thomaseld1090]

Great video as always!!

[@DylanO0505]

Funny how I think about y'all and then I search you up and you post !!

[@riley8824]

the captive nuts you can get out usually by prying behind the shroud with something while turning them impact works better for this or use a little heat on the bolt and get the plastic soft and pull them out and then just epoxy them back in place.

[@phgoil]

It's 3 AM but now I've got to watch another video

[@simonbartol3246]

I like this bike. I'm sure it is a great bike for anyone that nows how to raid.

[@wasabiemans]

You can remove the shroud bolts by wedging a flathead under the bolt head while spinning it out with a drill. Or if u just pry it out completely the insert will Come out too and you can put it back in with glue

[@furlvr1961]

Don't be a procrastinator, finish the Shasta trailer!

[@OffroadEffex]

FYI the engine needs to be at top dead center to check valve clearances. There are alignment marks on the flywheel.

[@georgeminns]

it doesnt, the valve your checking just needs to be closed, the valves dont close more or less at tdc than they do at any other time during operation, if the lobe is pointing away from the shim its as closed as its going to get

[@OffroadEffex]

I’m not trying to start an argument, just curious- I would agree the VALVE is fully closed when the cam lobe is facing away, but the cams aren’t perfectly circular so the cam may hang lower/higher depending on its place in rotation. Valve clearance is measuring the distance between the valve and cam so how could you expect precise and consistent measurements if your cams aren’t in a consistent position? Especially if they’re not in the exact position (TDC) the service manual calls for when the service manual is what’s giving you the accepted clearances.

[@Greg-tj8rg]

2:52 Always enjoy the videos.

[@theguch9038]

I say supermotard! The WR is the perfect bike for a conversion. Fork seals will be next. I've had several WR 426s and every one of them needed fork seals. Tell you the truth once I drove a 4-stroke I'll never buy a 2-stroke again. If you trail ride in the woods you'll get it. So you might consider keeping this bike and may be get rid of another two stroke in your garage. You might need to replace the accelerator pump diaphragm. They're known to get hard and lose their flexibility overtime. There's an old zip tie trick you can do to help the accelerator pump react faster. And find a nice renthal handlebar. I put a fat bar on mine and the adapters moved the handlebars up a little bit and made the bike a lot more comfortable.

[@karlrobinpoder942]

Make an hour long video plz. I love watching your videos

[@bobaganooshy]

You can swap plastic from a newer model 2003 to 2005 yz250f or 450f, you just need to make a couple simple brackets. You get a smaller tank but it's much lower profile and looks better

[@siouxscout]

Turbo'ed WR250? Yes please!

[@SuperHurdman]

Great video Jake! As numb as I am I still like the Shasta!

[@Gabriel-er8pp]

you guys are hilarious. loving your videos.

[@zbuffered]

Try spinning the tank shroud nuts with a high speed drill to heat up the plastic, then yank 'em out and glue 'em back in.

[@cTgFlyy]

Earned yourselves new subscribers ! Love this content

[@mylesgrant2113]

Up for 17 minutes and already more than 2,000 views, awesome

[@cobravello453]

so whats the big plan? wrapping the plastic panels?

[@506curtis]

you can pull the threaded bungs out of the tank then epoxy them back in. then scrape and sand the tank then i like to use carnuba wax, and presto! good as new.

[@edemup44]

Best channel!!!!

[@dylaneagleton3090]

He looks like my dad did in the 80s😂

[@jackharris8932]

I was about to go to bed when you uploaded this

[@thatdudemoe9109]

What's your background dude? Like you seem like a retired certified tech.

[@TheAwkwardBanana]

Were people hoping you put a turbo on the Vette? ;)
