Epic $500 2001 Yamaha YZ250 Project Bike Rebuild Timelapse

- I bought this 2001 Yamaha YZ250 for $500 from a guy on Craigslist. The bike was half torn apart when I bought it, with the engine already removed from the frame and the clutch taken apart. The guy told me the bike ran, but made a horrible sound. I tore the entire engine apart and 3 of the transmission bearings were sticky, which was the problem. I cleaned her up nice and gave her love where she needed it - very happy with the final result!
Bike is for sale in Bozeman, MT for $2,800. Message me on Instagram @kincadep if you're interested!

I'll be damned, this was interesting from start to finish. Thanks for sharing!
Respect from Russia! Good luck 👍
It is possible to swap an aluminium frame on an old YZ like this one ?
woooow Fantastic
Paint the chassis, bro!!
Thank you! No way possible I would have ever, put everything in the frame without painting it! And much less rebuilt the motor without cleaning the crap out of the casing an jug an got all that greasy dirt off it. I blast mine before rebuilding them so the outside of motor an frame looks as good as it did when it left the showroom floor. To much work to not atleast throw some fresh pait on the frame IMO but either way i give the young man props most people his age dont know how to change the oil! But he will have a dependable good running bike now!
Kincade this is another absolutely beautiful build. You are a true master of dirt bike restorations. Have you ever thought about having a young apprentice work with you. I am sure at first it would slow you down but I’m sure if you found a person with the same dedication and hunger they would learn fast.
Your videos bring me great flashbacks of the motocross races I was in back in the mid to late 80’s. I’m sure your video’s have many generations drooling but I know the GenX guys are truly Blown away.
Thank You

Didn't realize I was still watching Gordon Ramsay videos.
Hahah! Hope all is well man!
@@KincadePavich It is! Busy and hectic but all is well. I see things would be better for you if you wouldn't keep getting injured lol
What chain adjuster blocks are you using for that bike? @@KincadePavich
Great work! Nice to get to hear it run at the end.
Thank you! Broke it in today down the street, she rips!
Where did you get that sticker kit from? I'm considering getting a graphics kit off Ali express, they looks good but just not sure about the quality.
How much did it cost to rebuild the whole thing cause I’m looking at like that exact same bike and I want that to be my project I do while this corona and summer to keep me busy so if you could please message me the price of all of it it would be much appreciated
Total cost was $1900. $500 for the bike including a new crankshaft.
Ha, a fellow Montanian(Montana). I noticed that Bozeman location. Awesome video btw. Really inspiring.
Nice job man, you should be proud of your work.
I have one yz250 1996 in the garage now and your video inspires a lot. Thank you very much dude!
People like you trick innocent people into thinking they can take on a challenge like this 😜
Awesome work buddy! I have a 96 YZ 250 hehe
Amazing .
I saw the sri lankan flag. 🇱🇰
I have a 2012 yz250 and it's got new style plastics you should have put some on that yz250 you rebuilt nice work tho you are one talented person 👌🤟🏍
Thanks man! The restyle kits fit 2002 and up, and this is a 2001. You have to swap subframe and tank to make it work with a 2001 I believe.
@@KincadePavich oh ok that's cool are you going to do a video where you ride the bike?😀
@@jbenduro4604 I actually sold this bike, I rebuilt it just to flip it
@@KincadePavich oh😂 ok lol nice build
Great job mate, you have a real knack for fixing things, excellent work!
I was wondering about my Yamaha 03 450YZF overflow a bad cap or what do you have any input about that thanks
@@joehill8375 blown head gasket
Quick question, how did you ever learn to build your own bike?
Diddles Lack a little bit at a time! Research, videos, manuals
Did you have to use any like Yamaha bond for the case? When putting it back together?
Yes for the case halves. I just used motoseal from AutoZone; it serves the same purpose.
Awesome job man. Nice work of re using most of the plastics. They came up really good. Most people just throw away.
Glad you enjoyed! I'll admit the plastics were new. Original airbox/tank though.
Great Video and Nice Work! But I gotta ask....why didn’t you paint the frame when you had it torn down? You could have even used rattle cans to save time.
Budget build. Would've had to take the rear brake apart and re-bleed with how the reservoir is on these older YZs. Honestly just didn't care enough and the frame guards cover most of it anyway.
Amazing build id love to be able to restore a bike like that
Yo quiero una transformación de mi moto jajaja saludos
Nice job man, i'm from Brazil!
Colono RS you guys have internet down there?
Garden Grove No Front
Great video mate , big job but I’m
Sure the reward of that 2stroke starting was worth it
Nice work! i just picked up one. Where did you get the graphics, seat cover, and what year is the newer front fender? The bike looks sick.
Braaaplive2strokes thanks man! Got the graphics and seat cover on eBay. Front fender is a UFO restyle front fender, though I believe 2009+ also bolts right up. There’s a TT forum on YZ plastics.
Nice build. Had a 01 ya as my first bike. It was stolen out of my garage. Picked up another one the a couple weeks back. Gonna bring it back to life as soon as I'm done my yz450f.
TV MX ahh that’s rough man sorry to hear, hope the next one turns out sick!
Great video. Awesome job.
You weren't playing around dude!! Put this video with the bike when you sell it for +$1000 on Craigslist
Awesome video love music 🎶 and done sick build nice bike 👍😎👊
I have the same bike I just restored top to bottom and the only thing left is the plastics and graphics. Where'd you get yours because I can't find restyled plastics like that! They look awesome!
Only the front fender/number plate on this are restyled. The rest of the plastics are stock for this year! I found the graphics on eBay. I believe the front fender was UFO.
@@KincadePavich awesome man! Appreciate the info!
@@horrorangler8744 No problem. The link for the front fender I have is expired, but it was UFO. Here's the eBay link to the graphics: www.ebay.com/itm/YAMAHA-TEAM-GRAPHICS-YZ125-YZ250-1996-1997-1998-1999-2000-2001-DECALS/183671003677?hash=item2ac3a51a1d:g:464AAOSwyeNcWREA:sc:USPSFirstClass!59718!US!-1
Check out some of my other builds if you have time! Stoked on my recent KX250 build!
Nice work bro'''
Excelente me encanta esa moto. Aunque me queda el sabor agridulce por no haber pintado el chasis y la tijera. Pero por lo demás disfrute mucho viendo el vídeo 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Muito bom!
Pena que aqui custa muito para fazer isso!
Motores dois tempos são os melhores! 🤘🏼🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Great job, I love the detaling 💪👍
Very great job men 🤟🏻
Nice! Looks good! Would’ve looked a little bit better if you soda blasted the motor to shine up and clean the aluminum
Mi respeto para usted compa
Excelente trabajo mis más merecidas felicitaciones 👌

Hi, what did you use to buff the plastic?
Maxima SC1! Great stuff and smells terrific.
Most detailed rebuild I ever saw. Amazing work bro.
Wooow Complete
What paint was used for hubs and rims? Or was it powder coated?
I see plastidip cans was that it?
Hubs were painted, rims were plastidipped. I never expected this video to blow up like it did and this was a quick/cheap build! I still paint hubs a lot as its very durable, but dipping rims is a no go unless you're okay redoing it a lot. Paint will last on rims for a while, but not forever.
Job well done!
Did the zip ties help hold it together? I finally got to my 01 250 rebuild, the left side crankcase (where the center fork goes on gets stuck) wondering how I can fix that without ruining it. Good case too
I'm sure that bike sold by now ?
You did a great job 👍❤
Yes it did :) Thanks a lot!
Bike looks sick I wanna build mine to look similar to that how did you get those hubs and wheels to turn out so good
Thanks man! Hubs I used one of VHTs anodized "looking" blue spray paints with the proper primer. Rims on this bike were actually plastdipped (which lasts okay but doesn't survive a tire change) but the best route to go with wheels is anodizing. You have to clean them really well, but then it literally changes the color by some chemical process and they can't chip or crack. Shop here charges me $75 to anodize a set of rims.
@@KincadePavich I might as well just get a new set of wheels my front is pretty beat up and bent but the hubs can be shined up pretty good I assume
Very very rebuild! I have the 1999 yz250 and i believe its the same model bike. Either way, the thing is a freaking rocket!
why goto the link you goto to do this build and not paint the frame? the factory blue looks amazing with a nice primer first coast. Did it on my 04 450f
It is fantastic to look at.
Dude ever since I've seen your video it inspired me to jump back on a bike I had to sell mine to my daughter liver problem she had 65 % of her liver removed she's healthy now praise God but in the process of a year I had to sell my bike to pay bills so we didn't loose everything we owned, so now I'm going threw the slow process of saving and trying buy a cheap one so if you know any cheap ones shoot me a message on here please bike was life at point you know what I mean now my family is life but doesn't mean I can't enjoy riding..
what did you use to paint you're rims? Did you use plasti dip or actual paint?
This was just plastidip. I'd recommend finding an anodizer and getting rims anodized though, it works great and lasts forever. Plastidip doesn't.
If you hadn't make the gestures you did when the bike started, I would be sure there was something wrong with you. Beautiful job!
У нас только коленвал $300-400 обойдётся 🤦♂️ crankshaft...
Awesome build men 🤟🏻 what year front fender did you get?
Franchement tu est vraiment un mécano exceptionnelle tu a fait du très bon travail chapeau l artiste
Gerald Raymond donde esta la leche
You put parts in the oven to expand the metal but you can also put parts in the freezer to shrink them too.
1:54 Sri Lankan flag 😯😯
-from Sri Lanka ❤🇱🇰
Amazing work man!
automatic subscribe!
What type of pads do you use on the drill?
Natural restoration, good job!
Crazy!
Whaat?!?
That is a $500 bike? And a Lectron carb is $450?
Lol
Where on Earth do you see a Lectron carb?
Nice work, I cant do this. For you it like bycycle...
Why didn't you cerakote the engine-gearbox?
Wonderful job!!
Nice job, but I wouldn't call it restoration or rebuild.
Don’t recommend coating on your house😬 haha
too bad leave frame behind. need some power coating
excellent work friend congratulations, just ask us a question. You can tell where you bought it for 500 and you can recommend us where to buy motorcycles like this to repair, we thank you for the information greetings friend
lol
How much do you charge?
I want you to do this to my 2001 Honda XR250R.
Honestly that sounds like a blast, I'd love to chat about it! Where do you live?
Is that a Laos flag in the background?
What did you spray on the plastics to clean them
this is amazing.. i want to learn how to rebuild so bad.. you are buying bikes for 500, spending probably another 500 and able to flip it easily for 4k...
It isn’t a $500 dollar bike, 2500 to 3k, but yeah you would definitely be able to get 3750 or 4k out of it looking like that
Very interesting and well done!
Amazing dude ceep that up it must feel good to ride
Great video, where did you get those graphic from ?
I follow you since day 1!
What year front fender and plate did you use?
Спасибо за видео!!! Класс!!! 👍👍👍
how did you restyle the plastics i also have a2001 yz125 but can only find tge older looking plastics
The only restyled plastic piece on this bike is the front fender; everything else is new plastics for a 2001. UFO makes the restyled front fender.
Awesome! Good job.
Great video, loved it!
anyone have the link to the graphics kit?
It is cheaper buy a new one...even better...
Nice work !
What year front fender is that
Where did you get the graphics kit?
Did you change your forks?

Nice job mate, i used to love the white and red version of the YZ 490 and The FJ 1200 tourer, Yamaha are great bike designers..
