YZ250 dirt bike build starts! - teardown

[@mountainvalleyfrost5777]

The YZ250, its the claw hammer of dirt bikes. Simple, nothing fancy, but incredibly reliable and still competitive. It doesn't cost a lot to rebuild and pays dividends in smiles.

[@dirtniron]

yea, seems like a well build machine!

[@briangraezer3416]

This was the most relaxing build video I’ve ever seen

[@coreyfisher2821]

I never write yt ever in my life man, you're a great guy man i had to let you know how nice it is to get to see you share your passion. You are so professional plus humble for that is the reason i Love this channel. much respect to you brother.

[@dirtniron]

thank you Corey, appreciate your feedback. You made my day, brother! ;)

[@PlushEnduro]

Get it! Can't wait to see this come together Rado.

[@dirtniron]

thanks Mike, hope it will come together nicely!

[@lance6462]

Doing the same thing as well, Have a 2013 yz250 I am slowing working on. Little jealous how easy your swing arm bolt came out, mine pop out after 3 weeks of lube and fire.

[@dirtniron]

yea, I was worried about it too.. my guy greased it well

[@jaredamoroso8273]

Super excited to see this build. I love bringing old bikes back to life. So much enjoyment and definitely interesting what you find taking them apart to rebuild. Looking forward to the videos and keep up the awsome videos.

[@dirtniron]

thanks Jared, glad you are excited for the build!

Good work brother, I can’t wait to see how this build turns out! Peace and blessings!

I´,m currently also doing the same thing, complete rebuild of 1992 KTM Chesterfield decals replica of ´92 Bobby Moores, awesome bike.. he had nr.2 that year.. stay in touch..we´ll see how it goes..my plan is to finish rebuild latest by April

[@endurotruckererniedesjardins]

Something you will notice too is, the clutch hub is drilled on the yz250 and its solid on the yz250x (helps act as flywheel weight value)

[@dirtniron]

yes, I heard that from one of the guys on the channel, I wasnt aware of it. I will go with full hinson clutch system including the basket, but I am considering to add flywheel weight. do you have any recommendation on the size?

[@endurotruckererniedesjardins]

@@dirtniron I'd go 11oz stealthy or the GYTR , I dont use one. All I ride is hard enduro type trails. I run stock pipe, and the jetting it came with was perfect for where I live.. 100 hours on my bike now, original sparkplug that it came with out of the crate. I run 32/1 ratio and Yamalube R oil. Some say run learner mixture but I dont agree because the extra oil helps increase compression ratio, and I've never heard a ping on pump fuel, guy I ride with is always complaining about his bike needs race fuel added to his pump gas, he mixes 40/1 and he's stubborn. I've been on YAMAHA since 1980, I follow the manual and NO PROBLEMS with popping pistons. Only bike I blew up was a 86 yz80 when I was 11yrs old. Due to a bad water pump Impeller.

[@joaowerneck3297]

you are true engineers of these machines believe me. in brazil you would be the best you can believe. what a workshop to envy, and what skills you have.

[@dirtniron]

thanks Joao, glad you like the videos

[@scottmeredith8951]

That yz didn't seem to be in real bad shape she just needs some serious tlc! Glad to see it going.

[@dirtniron]

yes, she was in decent shape, and I plan to give her a lot of tlc :) thanks Scott!

[@mittyvidz8259]

Agree... Didn't see a drift and hammer come out or a blow torch. That bike was almost showroom fresh

[@thegametown1584]

This inspired me to build a 2003 YZ250 in off the lot condition!! It's going to be sick!!

[@dirtniron]

right on man!

[@TheJohnnyboy7269]

Can’t wait to see what it looks like when done

if you need an advice, if you want to turn the bike into a wood bike you should try an fmf ngharly pipe and an fmf carbon or alluminum silencer. however you're a great, keep it up

glad you found it helpful,. yz is really a good platform .. easy to work on and good performance

[@DisruptiveUnicorn98k]

@@dirtniron well I really want to go buy a brand new yz but in the long run it doesn't make sense because I can just update an 2007 model and there is basically no difference between the 2007 and 2020 besides from cosmetic and some minor suspension updates , and it doesn't make sense to spend all that money that I'll probably still need to upgrade

[@maverick2242]

Happy New Year buddy! The YZ should be a sweet project. Please please keep it a 250, get it cleaned up ports etc, but keep it a 250, so much you can do to that bike for extra of omf with out a big bore kit! I have said this before most people can’t ride a 300 to anywhere near its potential, a 250 you can ride longer, faster safer and have more fun! develop skill and technique rather than trying to use power, a 250 has plenty of that anyway, It would also give a really good comparison to your 300 and maybe see the light. Look fwd to your build dude. 🤙

[@dirtniron]

Maverick, what you said is exactly what I said in the video where I was sharing my plans for this build. :) I will keep it 250, do some porting and head mods, and exactly as you said, I have already 300 in the garage, I want to get 250 experience too!

[@endurotruckererniedesjardins]

Copy days after I brought my 2018 yz250, I torn it down completely and started over. Headset bearings, swingarm bearings, linkage bearings and shock bearing were nearly no grease. I've owned over 50 bikes n trikes n quads over the past 40 years. None of my mx bikes were bought used, none of them had any grease. Reassemble is always done with a drop of blue loctight on EVERY BOLT and NUT. All are torqued with a TORQUE WRENCH, guessing does not work out in the long run. Nothing I hate more then repairing or trying to put plastic back on a friends bike because he is too lazy to PROPERLY MAINTAIN HIS BIKE before trail riding.
