How to Perform Leak Down Test on DirtBike Engine - Yamaha YZ 250F
How to Leak-Down test a Dirt Bike Engine - Tutorial on Yamaha YZ 250F Motor
I just adjusted the 5 valves on the head of this YZ 250F engine and I want to perform a leak down test before putting everything together
With the auto-decompressor on this engine it’s not easy to know what’s the actual compression, so a leakdown tester will tell me if I have leaks in my intake or exhaust valves, crankcase through my piston rings or if I have bubbles in my coolant because of a bad head gasket
The goal is to see an engine sealed up so we can put things back together and finish the rebuild of this dirt bike
Let’s bust out the leak down tester and put pressure in that cylinder!

Hi I'm Tristan!
I live in New York and when I'm not working on my fitness clothing line (yoked.net) I DIY with intensity 😅
For now, I restore wrecked, neglected or simply damaged motorcycles. So I disassemble, weld, machine and fix those bikes so they can go back on the road!

How to Adjust Valve Clearance with Shims on Yamaha YZ250F
มุมมอง 75K3 ปีที่แล้ว
I rebuilt the entire engine on my Yamaha YZ 250F and put it back in the frame without checking the valve clearances, today I measure the clearances between the camshafts and the valve lifters It’s regular maintenance on a 4 stroke motocross, so it should help if you want to check and set your valve clearances 👨🏻‍🔧 The symptoms you may already know: your engine becomes harder to start (or the bi...

CHEAPEST BIKE on Facebook Marketplace... Worth it?
มุมมอง 46K3 ปีที่แล้ว
I go on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist all the time to look for cheap motorcycles… We’ve all seen the super cheap bikes online: they have a broken engine, perhaps no title or they are just a project bike in boxes (so appealing, right?) But today I want to see if it’s possible to find a good deal, a real one, not a bike that ends up costing thousands when finally running and complete So I f...
How Much Does It Cost To REBUILD A Wrecked Bike?
มุมมอง 8K3 ปีที่แล้ว
How much does it cost to rebuild a wrecked motorcycle? That’s the question I heard the most when rebuilding my wrecked Yamaha R1, so in this video I go into details about cost of the parts used for the rebuild From the fairings, to the rear sets, to the headlight and the rear subframe, I give all prices, as well as the total cost of repairs and time spent on the bike 🔧 And frosting on the cake,...

LED Turn Signals on Yamaha R1 + Seat Cover Change and AliExpress Mirrors
มุมมอง 8K3 ปีที่แล้ว
My wrecked Yamaha R1 has a salvage title, which means its resale value is down even if the bike looks good and performs as it should So I’m going to do an inspection that will give me a rebuilt title, that’s not really a clean title but at least something that resales at a higher value and that insurance companies favor as well Today is the home stretch before the inspection, I’m excited to see...
Review of Cheap Chinese Fairings on my Wrecked Yamaha R1
มุมมอง 30K3 ปีที่แล้ว
I mounted a Chinese fairing kit on my wrecked 2007 Yamaha R1 4C8 rebuild, I didn’t have any experience with those eBay fairings and could only see reviews online, so I figured I would make a video to show what to expect, at least on my model… I spent much time showing the fitment and paint quality on this video, I hope it helps!

CHEAP Chinese Fairings for Wrecked Yamaha R1 Rebuild - Is It Worth It? Part 12
มุมมอง 12K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Now that my bike is mechanically sound (or so I think…) it’s time to make her pretty and put some cheap new custom fairings on it 😀 I never used Chinese fairings before and I want to see how the fitment turns out to be. Especially that gas tank cover that seems ubiquitous for the 07-08 Yamaha R1 4C8 on eBay and Aliexpress So I put it together and realize some parts are good and some are really ...

    Wherever you don't want paint just cover the area with Vaseline and spray away. When the paint is dry just wipe/wash the Vaseline off.

    That "bump" you have on the fairing is a lug that clips into the top part, just push on it and it should clip in.

    I dont know where u got. 040 on the 2nd piston ring but that gap is double what it should be. You had to have read it wrong on the instruction pamphlet or something. If you are building engines you should know better than that...
