Yamaha XT225 COMPLETE engine REBUILD

I traded this 1993 Yamaha XT225 for my ninja 250 cafe racer! it's nothing too special but it's a cool bike that is super easy and cheap to work on! it is also fun just to have a super light dual sport around. after I purchase I discovers a few major issues I was going to have to resolve and one of them was low compression in the engine, so I yanked it out, threw in a new piston and jug from CHINA for $60 and now she's good as new!

The XT225 is a simple and perfectly balanced motorcycle.
In Japan, another name is Serow. I'm on the same XT225
Please enjoy remodeling and renovation. I'm rooting for you.

Had the head off, pull valves, open intake and exhaust ports and lap them back in for some gains.

Those bikes are notorious for needing 2 be ridden on choke for 10 minutes before they act right. Great bikes hut they hate being woken up.

[@Benjamminoutdoors]

Yeah I guess so!

[@pathmanathanmohanathas5766]

Nice work man

[@muriuwangai3617]

Very educational likes it from Kenya. Keep more coming. We have similar mountain Goats world over. I look to some day get a complete overhauled engine for use. Thanks

I have a 2007 Xt225 I been fixing up on and off. Only bike (and first) i have. Hope you post more for this bike! Need more instructional videos and info on the bike.

[@Benjamminoutdoors]

Unfortunately I won’t be doing much on this bike cause it doesn’t need anything. But the service manual is very helpful.

[@amauryhernandez8870]

Nice vid men. What rear fender you got?

[@ta7ta7kw39]

After weighing you, may I know the name of the site from which you buy the goods you need for me, the bikes you are repairing

[@muriuwangai3617]

Me too. Give us the site or place you order spares from. They seem reliable. Not all china spares work. I bought a Chinese carb but finally gave it up and repaired my stock. Otherwise I plan to get a SC2.

[@manzobean6818]

How many miles do you think is the most common for the 225 , I just got a 1998 with 8k miles i do have to warm her up before taking off but she runs great after that it’s my first bike an I’m not to aware on how long they last , further down the road I wouldn’t mind rebuilding

[@Bchara-Knio]

More content please 🙏

[@cristianmoralesve]

Hi, I am also rebuilding an xt 225, I would like to know how did you do with that cylinder?

[@steveblottenberger1097]

Why you had it apart you should have receded the intake and exhaust valve

[@Smodlee]

I would of ran a couple of heat cycles before driving it then at that point I’d ride 1/4 throttle

[@philguey]

[@ROYALFLUSH69]

Hi, can i ask the rear wing from what bike you got it? been searching for one of those

[@Benjamminoutdoors]

It is a yz450f or yz250f rear tail but there was some kinda ghetto modification that I didn’t do.

[@jeremiahspangler4284]

Do you mind sharing the link to he piston / jug?

[@Benjamminoutdoors]

They are all over eBay/ Amazon they are all the same.

[@manzobean6818]

La compression estaba baja dijo que al empezar la moto tenía que esperar un tiempo para que se calentara y luego ya corría bien pero que si no se le apaga al querer andar , dijo que así la estaba usando que solo la calentaba bien pero que al descubrir que el kit para reconstruirla salía en 60 dolares decidió hacerlo
