@@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.

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. 🤙

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.
