If you know a good Tig welder they may be able to fix that case but would require splitting the motor but if your going that far may Aswel replace the whole case. I have had a few mates that have had them and lack of maintenance and many hours they can throw a rod and when they do they go straight through the crank case. If your going that far with pulling it apart I'd replace the crank and throw a high comp piston in it. But great score, over here in Australia there fetching $6000+ even in rough condition

I gotta give this young man a thumbs up on every one of his videos simply because he is out there doing it, learning along the way and making a little $$ too. But I must say one mans mint condition is another mans clapped out pile. Very few bikes or atvs on this channel have truly been mint condition and ran as such. No Hate or trolling just a little constructive criticism from one atv/bike lover mechanic to another.

Anything can be fixed, and I love seeing someone out there dedicated to do it with bikes and atvs.

I had a 06 and my rod bearings went down. They were known for bottom end failure. Yamaha updated the oil pump in the bottom end in 2007 and up on the YFZ. You can get a oil pump conversion kit cheap that goes in the right side crank case. I would really recommend it.

This is by far one of the nicest wheer's you have gotten and a really great price. Looks like spectre air filter not K&N. Take quad to a local welder that welds aluminum they could weld that side case thats repairable. Check grounds first and check stator for oil or rust, both easier to check

Good vid, dope quad and you were ripping 🤟

You will never regret only that four-wheeler. I've never had one but my good friend had one for a while and he regrets getting rid of it. I have gone to his house to work on it a few times as far as the carburetor goes. The thing is absolutely ridiculous. He's had a lot of fool willers and that one by far was the fastest. It would walk the dog mess out of every other Fuller and dirt bike he had. Has no hesitation on take. The thing is an absolute beast. An absolute wheelie machine.

Being able to work on stuff is awesome. You can buy stuff that doesn’t run pretty cheap,fix it up and then you have a well running machine for a fraction of the price of a new one!

I would replace the timing chain while in there and possibly guides.

I bought a 2018 SE a few months back. I put a fuel customs intake, Vortex ECU and Dasa full pipe on it. Quad is fast as heck. It rips. I love the way the quad handles. I can push it hard and it handles pretty much anything even with just stock suspension. I will probably put aftermarket a arms and shocks once I do a full rebuild. Stock is fine for aggressive trail riding though.

You might want to put a outerwear over that filter to minimize the water intake it will also keep your filter clean longer. Much easier to clean the air filter cover. The red light is to tell you when the water temp is to hot it will come on when you turn the key on or start it for a few seconds to let you know its working.

Since it's a 2006 need to check for the oil squirter mod, if not you can damage the bottom end

bought a 04 yfz 450 last summer for $2000. It ran good when I bought it, had a kicker from a wr 426 and felt like it had great compression and started right up. Blew up an hour after I got it home. I don't remember if the 06 has the stock oil mod, but look up J&T OIL MOD.

Almost at 200k !!

Hey joe, buy some alumaloy rods and fix the case yourself. You use a propane torch to melt the rods. Works great

Has a lowering kit on the front. A good case savor will prevent that. The oem case savor will damage a case like that ever time

i would inspect the case halves well and maybe look into buying a matching set l and r... have had issues only replacing half.

@derekgardin1512

Yep cases are usuly matched amd machined together so if you want equal tolerances on both sides you should replace it all.

Make sure you do the cam mod, and fuel customs air intake kit, holy cow hold fast!!!!

Those early model yfz s dont have oil squirters for main crank bearings they can seize up easy do an oil mod on it to keep crank bearings from seizing up

The tires on the stock wheels were also a set of holeshots lol

FINALLY THANKS JOE!!!!

In my knowledge with 450 quads. I have a kfx450r. And when my valve seals went bad. It smoked a little. As I was making my way back to my house it was so bad that it was bogging under maybe 1/4-1/2 throttle. I’ve found it easiest to get a top end kit with the valve seals. Take the head off. And change the valve seals on a bench. Based on the way that quad moved around lol I don’t think rings are bad. Can always compression test.

Congratulations nasty quad I just got one yfz450r 2017 pretty cool

Crankcases are machined at the factory as a pair so should be replaced as a pair. If you strip the engine a good welder could probably fix that damage. With spark issues I'd start at the plug and work back. The cdi should be the last port of call. Could be the coil breaking down once hot. Do the cheap stuff first.

Yah I was just looking on Rockymountainatvmc at there oem diagrams and parts. Looks to be a matched pair, can't buy left or right like on say the 400ex. Showing plenty in stock for $381.12 on the yfz crankcase assembly. They got the oem stator cover in stock as well. Idk if I was keeping it I'd just patch it and send it. If it was a re-builder then yah fresh OEM only way to roll

I’m doing a top end rebuild on my yz85 I bought it as a project bike I love working on them

Had the same year back in 2017 bought it blown up completely grenade it rebuilt the whole engine put new tires on it and it was really really fast good four wheeler they say 07 and under didn’t have the oil squirter in the top in and they always bloom up when getting really hot

Nice find at a great price! 👍

Check your CDI box on it bro. Get A gold racing one instead the factory one seal it inside of A Ziploc baggie.& zip tie the open end close were the plugins go together.,or add A cut baggie over the first baggie for water protection.

Thats a great deal & looks perfect so far, they are the top race quads out, what do you do for work? just repair & flip, should open a little shop

Slap a really good CDI and carb on it bump the timing a bit and that thing will really rip lol Definitely a awesome quad and we'll worth going through 🔥👍✌️

Do yourself a favor and adjust the front shock springs for maximum softness(move the spring retainers up)

You can try some lucas&stop leak mixed in with crankcase oil for the pistion oil ring seals.,or you can spray WD-40 into your fuel tank. WD-40 will free up anything that is stuck.,or even some PB-Blaster spray will to.

The chain snapped and he did not have a good saver and now you should get that fixed ASAP.

When u fix the oil problem get a case saver cause the chain came off and went through it

Weren't there certain years that 2 different manufacturers were producing pretty much the same machines? Wasn't it Suzuki & kawasaki? Regardless, these vids are great. Think I'm gonna sub up, sir!

Try bump starting it and see if it starts, put it in neutral with the clutch fully in, run it up the street real fast, drop it in first while you’re moving and then let go of the clutch and pump the throttle

you should try it with a twist throttle, i got an 04 with a twisty. I'll setup up my cam on the chest rig and give her a rip. The fan only runs for a few seconds and you have to be bloody reddening the thing for it to kick in.

You should do the cam mod and remove the air box lid, jet to a 170 main and it's a night and day difference

i’m getting a brand new one sometime within the next month

Definitely needs rings smoking pretty good actually
