    Great video, congrats. My only correction is the piston orientation. Per service manual the dot on the piston marks the exhaust side. I have just recently serviced a wr 125 with piston installed the same way as you recommended in this video and the intake valves clearly contacted the piston top resulting piston/cylinder fault. The deeper grooves on the piston top are aimed to fit the exhaust valves. They are actually smallar in diameter than the intake valves btw.

    A YZF is a bit harder due to the lack of room I recommend removing the engine tbh (take loads of pics) but same principle you can use the same tensioner on the YZF but it's slightly different undo the 2 8mm bolts or allen key bolt that holds the tensioner in place then on the back of the tensioner you have a 10mm bolt but be careful there's a spring inside you will see a tap to push back the tensioner when you put it back to gether put the tensioner in with out the spring time it all up then put the spring and bolt back in it

    Why does Italkit bore kit tell you to install the piston other way around so that the bigger grooves on the piston would face towards the exhaust valves? I ignored the manual and installed it like you did because it doesn't make sense. Shop where I bought it from was also quite confused by the manual. However it should be installed by the manual otherwise the warranty is ruined....

    My bike doesn't idle when cold. It starts and then it gets quieter until it turns off. Then if i want to get it to start i have to put in neutral and hold the throttle open until it the bike can idle normally. Any idea what it could be? I have to point out that it started doing that after i left it in the rain for a day. I have replaced the fuel pump. The valves are ticking but not in an extreme way. If you have any idea what it could be i would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
