I love it :) you seem like a really kind hearted person. You don't have everything in the world but you make with what you do have and have an amazing time doing it. Thanks you bro
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anybody know a tool to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb lost the login password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.
Great set of videos! Really well done. I have a 2003 wr450f and I've leaned a lot watching you fix your bike. I'm just learning how to do the maintenance myself so this is pure gold. Going to attempt rejetting the carb soon, we'll see how that goes! Thank you.
Great work my friend , very inspiring, you know, attitude during these kinds of projects is EVERYTHING, I can appreciate your tenacity and positive outlook ! good job and enjoy the time spent riding her ! ! ! Much Love ! ! ! !
Congratulations! I just had to subscribe after seeing how you diagnosed and methodically went through each step.Wonderful editing also.What a great job and positive attitude.Thank you so much for sharing with everyone. Hope your wifes foot has healed. Safe Riding!
THANK YOU!!! LOL I learned more from watching you rip everything down then half the how to videos. I have such a better understanding of the inner workings then before. These new bikes are a whole different animal then the old bikes in my day. Good luck with everything and Thanks
Good job man, that's what I like to see someone fixin up a bike that no one cared about. Take care of her she deserves it Nice bike! Keep up the good work
For what you have into it, that's a great bike. Although this is an old series, it was a great thing to watch on a leisurely Friday afternoon. Congrats.
Really love your vids and problem solving skills and lets give it a go mentality , I was very much the same as a young bloke like yourself , little money and just a few tools. I've had over 100 bikes and never had a single one to a shop for repairs..... could never afford their prices , but it taught me how to do it myself and gave me a can do attitude just like yourself. One thing I didn't have was a Jenny...... she is freekin awesome and so supportive...... what a gal.
Congratulations ! Your time, effort ,perseverance ,and hard work paid off .You brought a pretty strong running thumper YAMAHA YZ426 back to life from abandonment and neglect !I think you did outstanding for the money invested !Watched all 6 clips and enjoyed seeing you bring her back from the dirt bike reaper ! You've got a nice piece of land to ride that baby on too in the lower gears but I'm sure your going to want to stretch her legs a bit further . Ride on brother !
Your bike is more than the sum of its parts. You have given it a new lease on life. The enjoyment of something like this is a lot like the MasterCard commercial, $600.00 for the bike, $200.00 for parts, enjoyment PRICELESS. You are in it for a modest amount of cash and sweat equity.. I enjoyed the series....
Awesome ending!! I really enjoyed the series. I have an yamaha XJ550 that I'm fixin up and your project videos have helped motivate me to keep pressin on. Keep up the good work!!
Great test ride. I miss my dirt bike days. I just turned 60. The 70s were so much fun. I rode Bultacos. I always liked Yamahas. The first with the unishock.
Great series of videos. I guess I got lucky. I paid 1300 for my 2002 YZ426F. Did not take the typical advice and replace piston and chain. Just reg maintenance and rode 'er like I stole it. Raced a handful of times last year. She's just a damn good running bike. Btw, glad to see you got the start-up drill down. Once you know, it's pretty easy to start.
Someone may have already told you, but a good pair of riding boots are well worth the investment. The 100 bucks you pay is well worth the protection they offer your shins and feet.
Hey mate that was a really really good series I throughly enjoyed it! I learnt so much and I inspire to make a chanel just like this series even though I dont have hardly any motorcycle mechanical knolage but it was very fun to watch. Would love to see you and your wife out on the trails to! Keep the awesome vids coming!
Very impressed with your work. I Completely rebuilt a 99 yz400f (practically the same bike) so I knew exactly what you were in for at the start of this series. And sure enough you quickly and properly diagnosed the problems like you've owned the bike for years. Glad to see another fellow dirt biker who actually cares! Kudos! Keep that baby runnin
Loved these projects. Please make more of these 4-strokes, because i don't know anything about them. would you mind making a "instruction" video about them? :) I know everything about 2 strokes, but all the valves and shit, its hard man :p
Needs some packing for sure but man that chain too! I didn't notice at first but that rust keeps staring at me. Maybe I missed it in one of the last videos but sure can work it out easy enough. Thanks for all the videos they are awesome!
that's sick bro glad you accomplished getting it back to life! ill definatly be doing my share of restorations when i have my own house, tools, and money. love restoration and great deals !
Im a GSX-R750 rider and Im about to buy a WR426 or a XR 400, I enjoyed alot watching all videos and Im really happy to see you riding at the end. Congratulations!
Binge watched that playlist... Great content! Cringed myself on that shim valve adjustment, my ZZR rots in the shed because there are 16 valves need adjustment like that! Measuring the play, taking out the camshafts, measuring the shims, calculate the needed ones, put it back together, measure again...maybe the same process again... Not to mention the work to get into the place to measure something, removing tank, airbox, carb bank... :-P Had an XTZ660 before the ZZR, the same 5-valve-layout but with rockers, wa s a joy to adjust the valves, removing two covers and adjust really oldschool, with feeler gauge and ring wrench! :-D I think in bikes i will stay with 2strokes and if i want something more complicated, i start wrnching on my Transit connect diesel... :-D Have fun and keep on with your good vids! :-)
i really want to see u ride in the trails or on a race course and really show what u can do you always saying u have been rideing dirty bikes for a very long time and plus it would be kinda cool to have a vlog type style type offroad ride
I find it cool that the radiators on the yz426 bikes can run on water. my dad owns a 2002 Yamaha yz426 and he drives and comes back with longer hair. I'm only 13 but I want to ride it a lot. I need to get used to my bike first though. I own a 2003 Yamaha ttr230 and haven't drivin it yet. I have some parts to get for it though. it's only electric start and I don't have the keys. yes I realize the owner of my dad's bike.
I have watche about 90 percent of your videos and you seem like a very frugal guy, so I was surprise to hear the amount of money you have put into this project, also is that a BMW I see in your garage there looks like a very nice Beemer
Man I have to say you really out did yourself on that bike and under $300? Bravo! Get some graphics on that beast and it will be back to its former glory
Dude i ran across your videos looking for clutch cable info...long story short i watch 4 or 5 hours worth of you breaking stuff down and what appeared to be effortless reassembly. ....i know you edit but im impressed. ...intend on watching more...thankyou .im impressed.
@@ryanhosted3051 Nah 426 doesn't have that much torque. Some 450cc has torque. Ktm sx 520cc has alot of torque. A 426cc handles almost like a two stroke. It's all about that power band. Think of them like a 1984's group B rally car. Nothing happens...nothing happens.. *turbo kick in* FUCKING HELL! I have one so i know.
man i miss my yamaha yz426f it had upped a sprocket on the engine and stock on the back and that bike would scream it was all stock nothing done to it and i laid it over on my ankle and couldnt get the heavy son of a gun off my leg and it was leakin gas all over the place but the bike did me some adrenaline though i loved it great video!
Replace that air filter, it looks really greasy and nasty! Keep the vids coming. I've learned a ton by watching your stuff. Great camera work and narrative.
hey man great videos just watched them from start to finish and I feel that you got a great deal I just bought a 2000 yz426f for 1100 so yah. how did you know how to do everything that was mighty impressive. anyways great videos hope to see more.
Congratulations! I don't have a motorcycle, but I just enjoyed watching the problem solving and victory.
No it doesn't need new packing 426s are really loud bikes
Same here! To see him taking it apart, fixing it, putting it back together and finally riding it is just satisfying.
👌
I love it :) you seem like a really kind hearted person. You don't have everything in the world but you make with what you do have and have an amazing time doing it. Thanks you bro
Well said. Top gentleman. Jennie is lovely too !
Yessir
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anybody know a tool to get back into an instagram account?
I was dumb lost the login password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.
@Joziah Kamdyn Instablaster =)
Thanks! I really like these older 4 strokes.
Thanks! I'm really happy with it. I've been told that repacking the silencer might make it sound better.
Great set of videos! Really well done. I have a 2003 wr450f and I've leaned a lot watching you fix your bike. I'm just learning how to do the maintenance myself so this is pure gold.

Great work my friend , very inspiring, you know, attitude during these kinds of projects is EVERYTHING, I can appreciate your tenacity and positive outlook ! good job and enjoy the time spent riding her ! ! ! Much Love ! ! ! !
They're great machines, I've liked them since they came out in '98!
Thanks. I'm glad you support my habit/purchase!
Congratulations! I just had to subscribe after seeing how you diagnosed and methodically went through each step.Wonderful editing also.What a great job and positive attitude.Thank you so much for sharing with everyone. Hope your wifes foot has healed.
Safe Riding!
Thanks, yeah she's all healed up now and back on two feet. If you can endure my singing, check out the video of her riding the XR.
Nice series. Kept my attention which is rare!!
Nick Bennett same
GREAT WORK MATE...WATCHED YOUR PROGRESS AND GLAD YOU GOT HER SORTED...LOOKS GOOD RIDING ASWELL !
THANK YOU!!! LOL I learned more from watching you rip everything down then half the how to videos. I have such a better understanding of the inner workings then before. These new bikes are a whole different animal then the old bikes in my day. Good luck with everything and Thanks

You make great content. Your channel has became a must watch for me. Had to turn post notifications on
Nice work man really impressed at how cheap you managed to make it run perfect
+DelMotoVids Yeah, the bike turned out to be ok. Thanks!
That beautiful sound of a Yz426f. It's almost like a freaking tiger or cougar growling at you. I love it.
I just bought a YZ426F for my first bike. This mini series was so helpful considering I have no idea what I'm doing. Thanks a bunch
For what you have into it, that's a great bike. Although this is an old series, it was a great thing to watch on a leisurely Friday afternoon. Congrats.
You are a much better teacher than most "
Professionals. thank you so much!!!!!!! and GOOD luck in Life

just needs one more thing....packing in that exhaust lol.
No way!! that packing just blocks everyone knowing to get the hell out of the way of the speeding freight train coming up on them!!!!
@Matt Wilson Loud pipes save lives. You missed the sarcasm in my reply obviously
quite a few videos on this one but worth every minute spent watching them all, thanks for sharing
You make it look easy, I have been working on a 1993 KLX 650 and I'm stuck on getting the floats right. Dude, your a great mechanic.
Congratulations !

I can tell by how easy he started that this isn't his first rodeo. Those bikes take a real man to kick over

Yea they are protective and everything but it makes it harder to shift
CallMeDaddy 69 So does a broken leg... Les in UK
Dude they are important but it’s kinda over kill to pay 500 for a nice pair when u can were a old pair of boots that work the same
Hey mate that was a really really good series I throughly enjoyed it!

Great work mate, you have obviously out a lot of effort into this project, and what a result! Well worth the effort and money!👏👏
This video is all the more motivation I needed to get my 01 426f running!
Great work. Loved the ride and the chihuahua mix trying to chase you down. Awesome.
I learn a lot watching ur videos. Not like the other cooks on you tube.
Hope you get outstanding results with KX250 2 stroke as well !
Needs some packing for sure but man that chain too! I didn't notice at first but that rust keeps staring at me. Maybe I missed it in one of the last videos but sure can work it out easy enough. Thanks for all the videos they are awesome!
That's not a bad deal, especially if it runs good. Less wrenching, more riding!
i could ride around on a bike like that all day... so much fun!
watched the process! awesome to see the bike come to life! Great work!
that's sick bro glad you accomplished getting it back to life! ill definatly be doing my share of restorations when i have my own house, tools, and money. love restoration and great deals !
restored any bikes yet?
Im a GSX-R750 rider and Im about to buy a WR426 or a XR 400, I enjoyed alot watching all videos and Im really happy to see you riding at the end. Congratulations!
buy the 426 it has way more power because its a race bike compares to the trail bike 400
Binge watched that playlist...
Great content!
Cringed myself on that shim valve adjustment, my ZZR rots in the shed because there are 16 valves need adjustment like that!
Measuring the play, taking out the camshafts, measuring the shims, calculate the needed ones, put it back together, measure again...maybe the same process again...
Not to mention the work to get into the place to measure something, removing tank, airbox, carb bank...
:-P
Had an XTZ660 before the ZZR, the same 5-valve-layout but with rockers, wa s a joy to adjust the valves, removing two covers and adjust really oldschool, with feeler gauge and ring wrench!
:-D
I think in bikes i will stay with 2strokes and if i want something more complicated, i start wrnching on my Transit connect diesel...
:-D
Have fun and keep on with your good vids!
:-)
Thoroughly enjoyed the whole series. The payoff ride was great.
I would of replaced the gasket and used a new oil filter but I really like how you're able to make what you have work.
That thing sounds SWEET without packing. Probably makes a bit more power without it too.
i really want to see u ride in the trails or on a race course and really show what u can do you always saying u have been rideing dirty bikes for a very long time and plus it would be kinda cool to have a vlog type style type offroad ride
***** hey where does this thing stand today ... i was wondering if you can show us subscribers a update video on this beast!
Wow that looks like a ton of fun, I wish I had tires that grippy on my kx450f cause all she does is spin XD
great video nice to see a bike not going to waste
GREAT SERIOUS OF HOW TO ON THE AULD YAMMY!
LOVING IT FROM IRELAND.
MORE PLZ.
Wow it goes like a rocket, or "like shit off a shovel" lol :-))
Well done, clever man, i would be so happy if i had fixed it too :-))
You did an amazing job. I'm still trying to get my first dirt bike.
You do better work with one hand than I can with two!
I watched the whole series today. Liked it
Nice project man. This series is gonna come in handy for maintenance on my 426! haha
Sounds beautiful
Nice! I'm sure you've already sold the bike but that exhaust needs repacking bad! Good job, you brought that bike back from its deathbed! :)
That's awsome! I just bought a 2002 yz426 can't wait to ride it :)
Jake Brother Have fun and be safe!
Nice work and a nice finished product. I would love to see you do the same thing to an old Bultaco, it has to be yellow.
your 6 vid series was soo cool! i loved it and learnt a lot!
Excellent job. Just picked myself up a yz426 02 model for $300. In pieces though lol. Cant wait to put her together
+Grant Ziz A Bargain!!!
i love that rare yz426f sound!!!
mechanical symphony!
KOSx15 that thing sounds bad. It needs the silencer re-packed really bad.
Collin Robertson if a bad silencer sounds like that then I hope all my silencers go bad cause that sounds better than any other 4 stroke I've heard
Jim Bob Seriously??? That thing sounds like ass. That silencer needs repacked SO BAD!
Arron Dentinger I dunno man, it has a weird tone to it. I kinda like it.
I got one of these not long ago it’s my third bike. And it’s an animal.
Great results. Congratulations!
Gotta be the coolest mechanic around
You make me smile every video.
$870 is a good price in my opinion, you got yourself a nice bike man!
no prob bro, ooh okay yeah that makes sense. seems like all 426's are fast i'm thinking about buying one.
nice glad you got it running
Very nice job man..congratulations!!! Realy you are very very patient...

Great videos , gave me the courage to tackle adjusting my valve on my quad. You know your shit sir.
Gotta love that rare yz426 sound!!! 333
That thing sounds great.Good job.
Good job very informative easy to understand on a budget practical educational thank you very much
Totally awesome, i've learned alot from ur vids. gonna get a dirtbike my own :D
man you are an inspiration! Great Work! all the respect!
And on the 7th video day there was rest 😊. Like the Genesis theme. That bike just needs road electrics now 😁
Glad you got it going! Have fun on her
Man I have to say you really out did yourself on that bike and under $300? Bravo! Get some graphics on that beast and it will be back to its former glory
Enjoyed all the videos.
Sweet bike dude good job working on it!
Thanks!
Great job! Keep up the good work
Dude you rock brother, I have the same bike and I love it
Thanks, I've loved these since doug henry rode the 400 in a crowd of two strokes in 1998!
Beast of a bike. Great job no bullshit wow I'm impressed. 😇
thanks a lot, glad you liked the videos!
Watched all the videos, great work!
That exhaust needs new packing so badly
