Well you're doing good you started out with a mototec, from the videos I've seen at least you can always fix them I seen one video we're a dude restored the whole bike took everything apart, thing looked amazing after
I will say it is a big heavy bike and the clutch pull is really heavy aswell, that being said its an awesome and powerful bike! One of those things that make you feel like a badass kicking it over 😆. They arent very hard to work on and theres actually a guy in youtube im following whos doing a full rebuild on one! Ill have to look up his name. If the price is right and thats the only issue with it, id say go for it!
The 400f is the OG of "Modern" MX Machines - They haul A's for a bike thats 1/4 Century Old! I have a YZ Tuned WR400f - but would like to get a Legit YZ400f to restore & ride every now & then! - Can be a B*tch of a bike to start! if you don't know the technique or it isn't Tuned right! Cheers 👍 🇦🇺
Its possible it has an auto decompression. Give it a couple slow kicks to prime it, twist the throttle twice, then get the piston to top dead center on the compression stroke, go 1 click on the kick starter passed compression stroke, reset, and then kick hard. Should start up 1st or 2nd try.
Yeah it just depends. If its got aftermarket parts like an exhaust and wasnt re jetted, or the jets werent cleaned during the rebuild. Sounds to me like a lean fuel issue.
@@EmxBrandon Cool just b carefull that's allot of power nice trail's but the high tension line,we could open it up I miss the old days stay safe I wear full gear. Arms and legs the crome one's and same gloves madbike gloves it looks cool too.
Hello, I need help, my Yamaha yz 400f leaks antifreeze out of the exhaust, I changed the head gaskets and it keeps leaking when I try to start it, how can I fix the
If its coming out of the exhaust and you already changed the head gasket you may have a crack in the head or the head is warped so the head gasket isnt sealing properly
@donnisjacinto5297 i dont unfortunately use whatsapp. Youll need to do a leak down test first to find out where the coolant is coming from, then do a visual inspection.
I notice a lot of yzf have stutter issues/ carb issues. Mines at shop now coz its backfiring and cant hold revs steady if try cruise just missfires alot
@Matt H sounds like lean conditions probably a gunked up carb. In this video the airfuel screw actually backed out and fell off. New screw and the thing rips!
I love it when you go wide open on a long straightaway and then the power band kicks in.
So much fun!

One day id like to get my own and do a full restore! I love gas bikes.
yo do you think you can make a in depth tutorial on the mototec kit upgrade i think i’m getting both for my bday
Which kit are you talking about? The electro&co etm kit? Or the fardriver kit that i just started?
@@EmxBrandon the electro etm kit
@Seanpatt1378 i have 2 in depth videos for the etm kit, they are my very first 2 videos!
@@EmxBrandon thank u! i’m jus confused by all the wiring
@Seanpatt1378 no worries its very simple are you staying with the stock battery?
They are real heavy that's why I like electric now, good job
Definitely a chunky bike
Skill issue
Hello. Love your content and all. And i'm planning to buy one too but with low compression. Do you think it 's worth the money?

Is $1900 good price for a nice looking and well maintained 98’ yz400f ? Also the buyer included motorcycle carrier
1900 sounds pretty fair if its clean and runs good! They are a beast of a bike for sure!

Hello, I hope you can help me, I bought a 1998 400f but it does not have a decompression lever on the handlebar, how can I turn it on.
Its possible it has an auto decompression. Give it a couple slow kicks to prime it, twist the throttle twice, then get the piston to top dead center on the compression stroke, go 1 click on the kick starter passed compression stroke, reset, and then kick hard. Should start up 1st or 2nd try.
@@EmxBrandon Thank you very much, it turned on the second time it tried, it's a big, strong bike.
@@donnisjacinto5297 nice! They are a beast of a bike!
Does your also back fire after high revs?
Sounds like a lean condition, might need to clean the carb! Has the jets been messed with?
@@EmxBrandon probably just got the bike last guy said he rebuilt the carb
Yeah it just depends. If its got aftermarket parts like an exhaust and wasnt re jetted, or the jets werent cleaned during the rebuild. Sounds to me like a lean fuel issue.
Yeah if it fell over you cannot pick it up just by its handlebars you have to use two hands and lift up the whole frame.
Nah its not that bad ive already dropped it a few times

@@EmxBrandon Thank you, do you have a WhatsApp group to send a video of the cylinder head so they can see it and know if it is broken.

I got a Yz 426f
The kinda bike that makes you feel like a beast when you kick it over 🤘😆
It almost sounds like a 4-stroke
Yup 4 stroke 400!

Definitely get used to the weight before you go crazy
Oh yeah im not trying to hurt myself lol
She's running but there is still something wrong
Turn out the air fuel screw backed out as i was riding it, easy fix!
