friend thanks excellent video. I have a question, how is the crankshaft sealing with respect to the clutch oil? since I can't see an oring in the bushing that makes the seal, only a retainer and the bushing on the crankshaft. Thank you, greetings from Medellín-Colombia.
Thank you. Go to 7:22 in the video where I install the transmission side oil seal
Great job
Thanks for the video. I have a question. I purchased a 2005 yz450f and it came with a non oem carburetor. I wanted an oem one as a lot of people have problems with these jungle carbs as you say. I wasn't able to find a 2005 yz450f carburetor anywhere, but I found a 2003 yz450f and as per yamaha they are the same. My question is the non oem bowl has a leak jet but my oem keihn 2003 yz450f bowl does not have a place for a leak jet. Will this be a problem? Should I use the non oem bowl with the leak jet? Thanks in advance.
That’s a good question…The leak jet is for the accelerator pump. Honestly, I would bolt up the 03 carb unchanged and see how she reacts to the throttle.
@restoroosterohv thanks for the quick reply will do.
@restoroosterohv I also did see that in the manual and partzilla website, no leak jet is mentioned and on partzillas website no leak jet is shown in the diagram so not sure if the oem even comes with a leak jet hole or if these jungle manufacturers decided to add one for some odd reason but thanks again.
@restoroosterohv just did a little more research, and the 03 to 04 carb does not have a leak jet. It is blocked off, but they added it to the 05 carb. Is your recommendation still to use the 03 bowl that had no leak jet or use the jungle one with a leak jet? Thanks again. Have a good day. Keep up the awesome videos
My advice is to bolt the carburetor on as is and use it.
Would it not be a good idea to have adapters to fit on to either end of crank so you could take a reading furthest away from flywheels ? not picking faults as its a very good video.
Adapters would not be good because you would never know if they would be true. The measurements are taken where the manufacturer recommends. Thanks for your comment and for watching.
Just found your channel and love your videos. I'm learning a lot! You seem to have an incredible amount of knowledge about these bikes. Did you have a formal education? If not, what did you find was the most valuable way to build your understanding of motorcycles across the brands?
Thanks for your support and comment. I am a former auto mechanic and have always been good with my hands. Fell in love with bikes out of jealousy for my neighbor riding his little mini bike when I was 10. Bought a busted bike when I was 14 (Kawasaki KD100) and ripped into it not knowing what I was doing but got it running… Engines and bikes are all fairly similar so it’s not too hard jump form one to the other.
Very meticulous, Work,love watching a mechanic do his thing.👍 nice victory dance 🕺
Haha, thank you
Great job I liked a lot of
Thank you
Where did you buy your cylinder from?
I wish I could remember. I do so many of these things that it is hard to keep track.

@Frostbyte911 again, I don’t remember. Sometimes I use aftermarket, sometimes new OEM sometimes preowned

Really like this episode. When I had recommended doing this bike, I never considered the EFI aspect. All the junk we work on is carb. You did dodge a bullet on that side of it. I've been getting my butt kick with another project. I'm gonna send a note tomorrow seeking your thoughts. This video gave me an eureka moment, I'd like to run that by you + 2 other things. Ken
Absolutely, send it
Top notch content, thanks for putting it out!
Thank you my good man.
I love the Rotella! What’s your go to break in procedure?
Start it up, bang it in gear and hold it wide open. No, I generally take it easy for about an hour, and then start pouring on the power. I exclusively use Rotella T4 in my machines and change it every 2 to 3 rides, depending on how long I ride. Oil always comes out, looking as good as it did going in.
@@restoroosterohvyep that’s always worked for me also..
Great work! Currently doing a KX450..
Thank you
it's alive! Great job as always
Haha, thanks. I had my doubts on this one.
great video as usual, you really explained veey well eberything, including the critical process of torquing the cam caps if i've twisted one of them, the best solution is to sand the cap with fine sandpaper?? greetings from spain!!!!!🎉
Thank you. I will be doing a video soon about how to fix a dragging camshaft.
nice
Thank you
Awesome job as usual. Stick with it, man, please. TH-cam needs more guys with actual correct knowledge and information to put out. There are too many channels putting out crap info. From another mechanic, what you are doing is appreciated by many.
Thank you for your kind words and support.
Godd day, i'm rebuilding my 2005 yz450f engine and have come across the problem where my intake cam shaft does not spin when the caps are toqued down to manufacturers' spec. Also, thanks for all the videos. I've gained a lot of knowledge watching you and also confidence to do it. How can I get my cam shafts to spin freely, or do I need to buy a new cap. My exhaust spins fine. Don't no what to do here. Thanks in advance.
Thank you for your comment. There are a few reasons that this happens. First thing I would check is your valve clearances on your intake. If the clearances are too tight, the cam shaft will drag and not want to turn. If your clearances are good, then your cam or head journal is damaged and that is generally due to incorrectly torquing them. The caps are not sold separately because they are line bored with the head from the factory as a matched set. You could potentially purchase a used cam cap but no guarantee that’s going to fix your problem. The correct way to fix it would be to replace the head, but who wants to do that right? I will have a video coming out shortly that will demonstrate the procedure to repair this problem. Generally, what you need to do is get some layout fluid, also known as machinists fluid, coat the camshaft journal, and then let it dry. Next, you will install the camshaft and torque the cap down. Slightly rotate the camshaft and then when you take it all back apart again will show you where it is binding. Would use a special tool to lightly remove some material from that area on the cam cap or head. You must use caution because you can severely damage your head if done incorrectly. Hope this helps.
@restoroosterohv thanks for the quick response. My intake valve clearances are within spec. I found a set of caps for $40 not a bad shot. I do have some of that blue die that you have used that gets all over the place not sure if that would work. When I put my intake cap on and torque the bolts to spec It doesn't even budge. I did notice when looking at the intake from the front its the back bolts that create the problem. The two bolts infront that are on top of the bearing don't do anything, and the bearing turns very well. Hope to see this video soon because I am stuck here and nope definitely don't want to buy a new cylinder head. Your videos are excellent. Great information and it's given me the courage to dig into this. I'll try the caps only because it's a cheap solution but if it doesn't work I'll be looking forward to this video. Thanks again
@restoroosterohv also wondered if this is something that if I felt uncomfortable doing, would you do it for a fee also me paying shipping both ways. Maybe make the video with my cylinder head 🤷♂️. Thanks again for all the information.
@emmanuelgonzalez-jk7mk that is exactly what this video is from, a subscriber with the same problem. If the video doesn’t help, you could send it to me for the repairs. Contact me at restoroosterohv@gmail.com
You are a true legend! Let me share a story from my life: When I was 20, I bought my first ATV-a 125cc Chinese model. I enjoyed the bike and learned the basics, like changing the oil and doing minor maintenance. But eventually, I got bored with it and really wanted a dirt bike. So, I came up with an idea: I took the frame of a Chinese dirt bike and swapped in the engine. It worked, and everything was fine for a while. Then, I got tired of the 125cc and wanted something bigger and more powerful. I ended up getting another Chinese bike, this time with a 289cc engine. It worked well, but the frame was too heavy for me-it weighed 140 kg. That bike ended up breaking my right arm (dislocated it, actually). Since I couldn’t wheelie properly with that bike, I finally got my first real dirt bike: a Honda CRF450R from 2007. It was the most aggressive bike I’ve ever ridden! That bike could wheelie in every gear. Of course, I crashed many times, broke a bunch of bones, but I loved it! Later, I upgraded to a Honda CRF450R from 2016. That’s when my life really changed. However, I ran into a problem with the crankshaft rod bearing. Since my repair skills were still basic, I took it to a mechanic. Unfortunately, some mechanics aren’t honest. He told me I needed a new piston, oil pump, and other parts-which wasn’t true. I ended up paying €1500 for the rebuild. After all that, the bike still wasn’t running properly. The engine vibrated badly and just didn’t feel right, so I sold it. I was upfront with the buyer about the issues. Then came my first true rebuild: a Yamaha YZ450F from 2013. Once again, I had a crankshaft rod bearing issue. This time, I disassembled the entire engine, cleaned every part with gasoline until it looked brand new, and replaced the crankshaft myself. The bike ran perfectly after that, and it still does to this day. From that experience, I’ve learned so much about bikes. It’s impossible to put it all into words here. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: just try, and you’ll succeed! Thank you for your videos-I truly admire your professionalism! 🤝
Thank you for sharing your story. That’s a big jump from a Chinese 300 to a race 450. Yes, they are very aggressive. Glad you took the time to do your own repairs. It’s not that difficult. Appreciate your comment.
I wish I could send you my 2019 kx250f and fix my oil like I have order new gas kit after gaskit to fix mine but it still leaks oil when I get hot

I believe you’re working on a 2014 model. That bike has launch control and the kx250f didn’t get launch control until 2014
I have that same bike
Nope, it’s a 2011. Not only did the Vin number decode this as a 2011 but it only had one fuel injector, 2012 and up went with a second injector in the airbox
Would you be willing to Mara video on aftermarket carb replacement and the difference in jetting specs ie. QAparts shows 135 Main jet. OEM calls for 182 on stock carb. I afraid it will damage the engine Thanks for any info FYI I’m your local fire medic
There is no difference in jetting specs. The bike will need to be jetted for what is required given the ambient temperature and local altitude. This bike would not run on a 135 main jet. If you are at under 4000 feet and 50 to 70°F, use the stock jetting.
But u forgot to tell us how much that kit was? Which surprisesme. U musta known thats the #1question everyone wants answered.
It’s going back away now, but if memory serves, I believe I paid 850 for the kit
@@restoroosterohv amarican?
Yes sorry USD
My favourite chanel without doubt, you have my support from Spain! jejejje. I have a yzf 250 2008, Is it normal that my camshaft does not rotate smoothly and I have to use force to make it rotate? Should it rotate smoothly? This happens to me after adjusting the valves.
One of two things is happening, either valve clearance was not properly adjusted and is too tight where the camshaft is dragging on the lifter or the cap was overtightened and is now slightly warped. Set your camshafts with the timing marks in the proper position and recheck your valve clearances. If they are fine, then there is a good chance that the cap has been tweaked a little. It is extremely critical that these are torqued properly.
Just changed the pads on my 96 cr80 and now the rear caliper rubs the spokes. Why?
Send me a picture to Restoroosterohv@gmail.com
Man the best explanation is right here all these videos folk are making just looking and not saying nothing.
Thank you
Hello, I have a kxf 250 2013, the injection does not want to start, the fuel pump is fine, the injector is good, the valves are ok, the compression is good but it does not want to start, are the temperature sensor and the one for the gear position related. Sorry for a long answer.
It could be. Check your valve timing. Follow the procedures in this video to test the rest of the electronics. You would also want to take a fuel pressure test.
@ everything is ok, it just doesn't want to start
@Teddy0803 what was the fuel pressure? Did it hold after you stopped kicking?
