I’ve been watching for a few years and have learned a lot from you
Joe, I realize that you are an expert when it comes to 2 stroke and 4 stroke engines. I also realize that you know when a seller is lying to you. But you pick up machines that need work for your highly successful channel. I realize after watching your channel that nobody is pulling the wool over your eyes. You know exactly what is going on and when someone is not being truthful. Love your channel.
The bad thing about buying used sport quads is they have been ridden very had and usually not taken very good care of.
I like how the Master , plays dumb when he`s buying . But is the ace mechanic that he is.
hey what i love about your videos is theres no crazy editing or jump cuts to the finished product but you take us through every step. this has taught me alot!! thank you!
Here's a good idea. If you see a lot of metal flakes in the oil (this was a ton), do NOT keep spinning the motor over creating more damage. I really thought that was common sense 😂

Dude needed a new subframe anyways. So why not take the motor out and rebuild it the RIGHT way
The crank bearing went because the oil squirter mod was done but you NEED the 2007+ Higher Output Oil Pump to make up for the new oil flow ... The newer oil pump is part # 5D3-13300-00 and has the stamp E-1 - yours still has the 2005 oil pump which is stamped E-2 ... also I would get an OEM cam chain tensioner and throw that manual one in the trash as that's why the cam chain was loose and skipped time ...

What he said lol
So many people comment saying what he should and shouldn't do what's the name of your channels so we can see how it's done correctly. 🤦🏽♂️ Keep doing you don't change a thing Joe.
Always love those "I haven't looked at it" and then open up the engine and it's obvious, someone was in there and didn't know what they were doing. Combined with "My friend's dad is a mechanic" - if we had as many as there are claimed, wouldn't be short so many in the shops.
Glad to see you doing the repairs on it. I can't wait to see how good it turns out.
From what I've seen is people who don't know how to ride, shift gears and have the rpms up so high the first thing to go is the crank, burns them right up! Top end is always beautiful!
Timing was off but that was on purpose. 1 tooth advance on the exhaust is a common mod. Essentially giving the bike the same timing as the motocross bike (whose engine is the same except for this) - improves performance.
It hurts watching you turn it over on the starter so much, with no oil in it 😅

I just bought a non runner motorcycle that I was able to get running. It's the first time I've done that. Partly inspired by channels like yours. I figured I could enjoy the bike for a little bit then sell it and make a little money. Mostly I just wanted to see if I could diagnose the problem and get it running. Obviously I couldn't hear it run, so I was hoping it was nothing catastrophic. Turns out it just needed a good carb clean/rebuild.

With the ethanol gas and sitting for a while we're all going to be educated on carb rebuild and hose replacement.
I think that's the worst connecting rod and crank I've seen that wasn't a catastrophic failure.

I enjoy watching these video. During the teardown process. Things start looking bad. But, You always keep a positive attitude. Looking forward to seeing you reassemble and fire it up.
Bad cam chain was the first culprit in my opinion, caused everything else. Revised, both the main rod bearing and the cam chain were the culprit. Not sure i would have bought it wirh that noise though.
I really enjoy watching how you go step by step even though that little voice in my head is screaming just tear it down..lol you do a very good job I'm so impressed at how far you have come as a mechanic from your early videos looking forward to seeing how it turns out and anyone who buys any of the machines you rebuilt can know they are definitely getting a top notch quality bike that they will be able to depend on no corners cut
I have watched your channel from the very start and it blows my mind, why u never bring your compression tester with you buy these machines.
Those big old nuts tend to back off, just make sure they're torqued and washer is locked. Great vid Joe.
doing the one way on my 01 raptor 660 and by chance clicked on this video and now i feel alot better diving into it as somebody who knows little about small engines. Ty
These normally sell in the 3k to 5k range. The seller told him it had a knock and was run low on oil. Pretty need to factor in an engine rebuild at that point.
Do an engine swap project like a 500 2 stroke it will definitely sell and will be great content
I think that guy knew what was up, It's bad but not that bad. I'm sure you will have it rebuilt in no time. Can't wait to see it in action.
The nerf bars are Pro Amor Pro XC, which are very good but those are in pretty rough shape. Looks like they would clean up nicely though ...

The way he did the oil mod and made it his own “diy oil mod” 😂 smh no wonder this bike is in this condition You got this tho ! Great content!
Seems pretty obvious that the first guy who rebuilt that engine didn't own a torque wrench.
Joe, awesome video. I used to work at Yamaha as a mechanic, and those head bolts are on super tight, they most likely were not over torqued, they are just that tight. 22ft/lbs then 51ft/lbs then back off then 22ft/lbs then 180 degrees is the torque sequence.

I don’t know or care about engines but for some reason you make it interesting. I also like there is no KZreadr phony personality or jump cuts.
thank you for the video. i dont havea bike anymore but i learn so much watching you. thank you for making these for us
You'll get her running, hopefully as good as your other YFZ 450 you had awhile back. It does make me scratch my head when people don't bend the lock washer over, have repaired many a clutch basket because of that. At least the case halfs were not damaged . :)
That’s the fastest quad I’ve ever driven. Couldn’t get out of third gear, too many curves in the road to open it up. Friggin fast quad
when a sub frame is bent from roll overs usually the main frame is too , is so hard to see till you replace it all and it is slightly still tweaked , looking forward to part 2
❤❤😊 Glad to be back into normalcy, water 💦 is not my friend. So glad that I could follow along with this adventure. I under stood it. Think that will be good buildup for me. Thank 😊😊❤
Bushlight says it all... lol😂
Good job cranking it over and over with no oil in it
Love the positive vibes even though it didnt turn out how you expected
There are so many great mechanics on that right now but I think that vintage dude is the best!
On 4 strokes, check the oil filter for flakes.
Out of all the KZreadrs I watch you are the best If you can remove the rod from the crank inspect the crank to see if it survived by and chance and salvage the crank as it is the most expensive part to replace if so do it then it becomes a lot cheaper rebuild Sounds like the engine was stripped apart for a rebuild The owner at the time then needed the money so slapped it together so it ran and because it was slapped together and not assembled properly it failed to what you have uncovered and when you was inspecting it for the first time my thought was sounds like some form of timing issue
Steering stabilizers are a HUGE help if you ride Enduro racing or just a lot of woods riding.
great video! love these videos you do! the tear down i was like "ohhh crap"
Thanks for another learning moment. I Love Yamaha's but this looks tricky, titanium-valved? Engine teardown I can do, putting the puzzle back together not so much. Even some Vinnytime!

Hi Joe got idea for you why don't you look on copart and bye damage quads you can bye them cheaper than building engines and get a load of spare parts at same time and you get them really cheep think about it great channel by the way

Yeah it's not great but might have been worse, the case, gears and cams seem to be okay, be sure you feel good about the oil pump, this one could be pretty good when you get done with it
Instant regret, maybe not instant but damn man. They were rough on that poor thing. I'm guessing no maintenance at all ever.dang 450's and the dual cam thing lovethe big bore singles. Very good vid man. Good luck. Over torqued from hell, hope case ain't cracked from that.

I just got a 01 350 worrier. Runs pretty good it has a brand new carb. I just replaced the throttle cable. Now before all that when I got it it ran good. Now it runs high then goes low and shuts off. It's getting fuel. So if you know what it might be let me know. Really like your videos really helpful.
All hail Vinnie, the quad whisperer! 😂
On my 04 trx 450r back when it was knew i tried one of them elkas. My friend liked it. I hated how it took all feedback from front tires away so i would kick out more than i wanted to on the track. If you find and 04 450r with original hrc you need to ride it. Pulls like a freight train but only really starts to pull at half throttle. But then will make power right to the limiter. Sucks mine was stolen about 10 years ago i had stock shocks setup by derisi racing for my weight and my rear linkage was alst replaced by derisi link whick almost eliminates the kick from rearend when suspension got over heated. Hade lonestar racing firered +2.5inch wider and +1forward a-arms and a 2.5 inch extended axle. Was so fast im 130$ soaking wet so i use leave line in 3rd gear i was never beat to first corner on mx.
