    If you have to go over three turns with the fuel screw, you need to bump up the pilot jet. These oversquare high compression four strokes will get super hot if it’s sitting idling. They will actually boil the fuel in the tank if they don’t get enough air moving(riding very slowly) to keep everything cool.

    Careful with the aftermarket fuel screw at 4.5 turns. They have been absolutely known to fall out when turned that far. Look it up. Best is to bump the pilot to a 55 (which is huge, I know), and then turn the fuel screw back in.

    You don't have a working charging system, it is running on battery voltage until the battery can no longer power the electronics. It should be of no surprise the radiator fan doesn't have enough voltage to work and it begins to overheat. Stop riding it until you have a solid 14+ volts at the battery while running.

    Before you go pulling it apart to check head gasket go and buy yourself a test kit that tests if combustion gases are in coolant.
    Your water pump spins so that will also cause the water to push out of the fill port when you're reving it.
    Same thing a car does when you have the cap off and rev it

    When you drop spark plugs down the hole like you did there is a chance of knocking out the gap clearance. You should have placed a length of 1/2 inch fuel line on the end of the spark plug and turned the plug in. the same for removal. This also works on the HEMI engines!

    You have to account for three things, Elevation-Temperature-jets, lets say you have proper jetting already. When its colder weather you have to add about a quarter to half turn on fuel screw rich, Listen to the rpms very closely after each slight turn on the screw, Find the happy middle point, where its not too extremely high/fast but a nice solid idle, Your pilot jet is for idle/low rpm, Your Main is for 70% to 100% throttle, if its spitting and popping depending on the color of flame it is either too rich or lean. Only turn and adjust fuel screw when the motor is at operating temp. Start up procedure,(cold start only)*,( Key on, Ignition on, Pull choke out, Blip throttle once to get fuel in carb, turn on bike, leave choke in for 5-10seconds, Turn off choke, after once warm adjust fuel screw. Keep a Battery junior 800 Battery Maintainer on your battery so it always starts up 1-2nd time, When in storage for long time and u have the gas turned off for carb during storage, turn it back on, then on cold start procedure blip the throttle 2 times and let it wake up to its normal idle

    If you suspect a short, measure the current instead of the voltage when attempting to start it. If you measure the current from the battery and the current going to the starter, the difference in going somewhere. Without the head lights that should be no more than 2-3 amps.

    hey man, do what you do everyday just dont vlog it, but was watching this and noticed you checked coolant while bike was hot/warm, looked like that anyway, pressure will be created when its hot from being hot and water pump forcing coolant around, you open that up hot and thats the weakest leak its gonna come out there, id re check the system while the bikes cold, if it still sprays out of fill area when cold then its most likely pressure in system, if it doesnt i dont think itd be head gasket, plus it didnt look like it was dropping white clouds of smoke. Just thought id throw this in the mix so you dont have to rip head off if you dont “have” to. Goodluck!

I got a buddy of mine that wants me to install one on his 06 yfz450... also I just finished building my very first yfz450 (had bad piston n cylinder /broken valves) any way at first it was leaking coolant (after first start up)and then after it stopped I think I overflowed it.. but now runs good (semi good lol only choke on 🤪 got adjust carb) anyway my headlights won't turn on i checked a bulb looks good and when I hit the switch to turn them on i hear a click sound coming from maybe area around cdi I think there's the rectifier or some electric box.. so I assume they are trying to switch on but nothing.. what would you check first.. btw mine is an 07..also I gotta mention that my light switch is broken from the part were you switch from engine run or stop...might that be it?

    As I said 2 videos ago.. That coolant hose is basically joined to that header. Which is boiling your antifreeze. Connect your air filter box to the muffler n see how your fuel mileage is ?!?! Cold air intake not hot for increased fuel economy and power. Lower coolant temps= lower engine temps,starts cooler easier in turn makes for a more efficient engine, as well as makes more power. Just sayin..

    That's why it's running like that. With that battery not charging all those electronics to be able to work like they should worh the proper volts. Maybe that's why it popped really bad the first time you really laid into it with the throttle.

    Its a 05 engine im sure the original stator is still in it its done or about to be done. You gotta ride that shit load it up to check your plug color. Worst thing to do is letting it sit there and idle. First start of the day 3 minutes tops for warm up.

    Could be the regulator/rectifier not usually the stator

      It's just called a racing plug dude, nothing special about it, I've used those heaps in my two strokes. I didn't notice any difference, in anything about that plug, except the electrode is smaller. Seriously man, don't waste your money, just buy NGK BPR7ES , you can get a whole box for the price of one "special plug" it's just a scam, believe me, I've been riding Two strokes for over 40 years.

    You don’t need a bigger battery. Look up rm stator and rectifier. You can get a car battery and it still won’t be enough because the battery is not charging.

    You need to get some proper ventilation in your shop if you're going to run motors inside. Carbon monoxide poisoning is not a joke. The single best thing I did in my shop was get a circulation fan and motor out of an old furnace, cut a hole in my wall and added some vent flaps on the outside. It can completely clear the air out in my shop in a minute or so.

    Most atvs dirt bikes and motorcycles don’t charge the battery. The bikes stator is meant for the spark plug that’s it unless it designed to run lights.

    On some of these machines they won't run correctly with the battery disconnected. So it makes me wonder if the headlight wiring helps to regulate charging.
