Hello everyone! Episode 2 is already released to supporters on Patreon! you can sign up here to see it. Episode 3/4 will be coming out soon as well for Patreon. I have current build photo postings on there and have been updating each time something new is done to the bike! It's looking soooo sick!
Can you do a tutorial on how to clean the carburetor on this bike? I have an 03 250 and can’t really find any helpful videos on RUclips and my bike is bogging out a little. Thanks and awesome video and steal on the price for that bike!
I like your build better because guys like Adam Paganelli or Cameron Niemela are building awesome bikes, but they really don't do them justice when it comes to riding. So it's good to whatch this series knowing the bike's gonna be used for what it's made for
900 ball hairs??? Jeezz that's a steal. I can't even find a clapped out one for less then 1200 around here. Been looking for a project yz 250 for 2 months now
I waited 5 years for this bike haha. Friends dad had it and I've drooled over it since highschool. I guess I waited long enough that he was ready to let her go to another good home!
@@BeRAD well it was well worth the wait huh, that thing is in mint condition!! I want one by like the end of winter though lmao most likely going to end up paying around 1500 for a decent one
First of all im stoked to see a build series coming up Second im looking to get into dirtbike this summer i am hesitant between a 125(maybe a ktm150) or a 250 both two strokes im 26yo 6feets 200pounds what are your thoughts I already have road bike experiences with an mt09 Thanks keep it up
go 250 if you'll be in the woods and a 125 if you're going to be doing specifically motocross. 250s are a very versatile and well rounded bike, quite reliable compared to 125s, and not nearly as sensitive to jetting... The only downside is that they are twitchy bastards on a motocross track and will stunt your learning in that environment. although be prepared for a rude awakening in the dirt, if you've already had some experience in the dirt than thats good. Although experience on the street doesn't really help dirt like it does vise-versa... The dirt is a bitch and i wish you the best of luck with it mate!
Supergringo92 it’ll be a lot for off-road riding at first but being a bigger guy you’d find the 125/150 to be very difficult to ride I think. They have very little bottom end torque. If you’ve ridden an mt09 you should be okay in a 250 2T. Just ride a gear high and watch out for the powerband! You’ll figure it out!
It'll be pretty fast-paced. Not too much detail. Like, I'm not showing me replacing bearings and stuff. expect 4-6 episodes of similar length all said and done. (:
Hell yeah, I’m looking to get a steel frame yz250 so I can build my CRF, are you going to be putting on any sort of light on this bike? I’m curious because I’ve heard the stock stator isn’t any good and nobody makes one
I plan to make it street legal because it may become a supermoto one day. Haven't planned any of that out yet though. Just an oofroad bike for now. No lights.
@@imdestructive7624 Ill freshen it up soon, but nothing big. As long as it runs and operates smoothly, that's all I care about. Id rather work on my riding skills than the bike haha
Duuuuuuuuuuude! How are you? I like the new channel! Took a break from social media and missed yo shit! Glad you came to the dark side and started hammering off-road! Keep it up brotha!
I payed 850 for a 98yz250 fresh rebuilt motor and he didn’t know what was wrong with it it was cdi and stator easy fix that thing runs great and is fast af
I have an 03 that I’ve been building up over the years, everything is done and I started to ride it and now the forks started leaking so now I’m about to send them and the rear shock off to factory connection, any thoughts on them?
Goon Rides hmmm maybe 2003+ then. Or the 125’s has Mikuni. Mine is a 2003 contrary to what I said in the video. Title says 2003 but I got in my head it was a 2002. I’ve looked it up and there is almost no difference between the years for the 250.
Aden Welsh-Alix is that the guy building that 2 smoke that I sometimes see on Instagram? Red cylinder head? I have not been haha. But if that’s who you’re talking about, I have heard of him yes.
If you want to paint the frame and not pay the outrageous pricing for powder coat, I strongly suggest you buy a can of YZ Blue Paint... I use it on all my bikes, and it lasted me years. Check it out on my page/build hha
David Rockwell I’m friends with previous owner and that’s what they said. It doesn’t take much to wear down the cover and frame. After my first ride on it, the frame wear almost doubled lol. Sand here in Michigan is very abrasive. And you can tell the tires were 16 years old by how hard they were gahaha
I have the same bike if you want to remove the yellow off the plastics and graphics I took mine and soaked them in super hot water and vinegar and used a scotch pad. It comes off like wax.
For a Yz 250 in that condition you would easily pay 2000+€ in germany :/ The prices are really high cause there is more demand that offers and motocross is not that popular...
$900 is an absolute steal for a 2002 YZ250 that has the original plastics and graphics, original tires, and original seat cover haha
yeah, seriously. I bought a 1998 YZ250 that was sitting around on a farm for $800. I had to rebuild the whole bike. This 02 is a steal
RacerRed honestly... I picked up a 1998 YZ125 for $700... power was amazing, suspension ehhh probably the worst I have ever seen.
For real! In California you can’t find a YZ250 for less than $1500 and that’s for a 2000 anything ‘02+ is posted for like $3k
dnbjunky lol that 2002 for $3,000 is mine. Check my channel out lol
I got one for 400 and rebuilt the engine

Did you check the tention of the wheels spokes and how straight it runs that might just be a good thing to check in general
VtecGoesBwaahh wheels are being replaced. 😎
Im buying 1990 yz250 next month and its street legal ❤️ *i love 2 strokes* and BeRad 😂
Love the video, here in my country that bike cost about 5000 usd and not in that perfect condition that was so cheap, take care
I'm a simple man. I see a new BeRad video, I click like.
I'm stoked for this build, my favorite bike getting a series... hell yea
Cant wait. I love me a good build series.
Nice video! The yz is looking clean already, I really like the stock looks👌
Nice video ive been doing the same thing with my 01 yz250f wish i had a camera to film it like u did thats cool
Can you do a tutorial on how to clean the carburetor on this bike? I have an 03 250 and can’t really find any helpful videos on RUclips and my bike is bogging out a little. Thanks and awesome video and steal on the price for that bike!
Holy shit!? A BeRad and Subie Moto upload! Woah..
What a nice project. Hyped to see more!
Brad, I hope it's not just me, but michigan weather has been a bitch, not even good winter riding conditions, love the vids
I'm loving this already
Actually a really well done video👍🏼
Wicked deal! I paid that for my used 29er mountain bike lol. P.s. you got the best single track rippin vids on RUclips!
I like your build better because guys like Adam Paganelli or Cameron Niemela are building awesome bikes, but they really don't do them justice when it comes to riding. So it's good to whatch this series knowing the bike's gonna be used for what it's made for
3:13 What kind of stuff are you spraying on your carb to clean it there?
that would be water haha
oh my bad, that was kerosene! Best stuff ever for cleaning grease
Cool, can't wait to see the next one👍
Love these type of videos. Want to do it to my own bike
Wow 900 bucks that's crazy cheap man great find!!
Why dose all the comments 2 weeks ago wen the video only just came out
Patreon supporters get to see things early!
Is that an 03? What year is it
Sounds like it has a new rebuild in it.
Bikes N' Guns it just has very low hours! Never rebuilt
@@BeRAD huh, alright cool beans
That's pretty much a new bike for 900$. What a steel .
this is such an awesome bike
wow! 900 bucks is amazing 😍
THANK GOD I SUBSCRIBED! TOO HAPPY RN
Yes finally! I've been waiting on this
That thing has soo much power it’s not even funny
Got mine for 400$ screams and runs well but I need help getting parts any ideas I wanna restore the bike it’s fast I fell in love quick
900 ball hairs??? Jeezz that's a steal. I can't even find a clapped out one for less then 1200 around here. Been looking for a project yz 250 for 2 months now

What happened to your other YZ?
Can't wait to see it,,,,
I just rebuilt an 02 but i got it for $1000! I had to rebuild it from the bottom up too. $900 is a steal! Where is the place that you are riding?
What tires are you running?
I rebuilt a 2004 yz250 and turned it into a all black trails Enduro machine.
First of all im stoked to see a build series coming up
Second im looking to get into dirtbike this summer i am hesitant between a 125(maybe a ktm150) or a 250 both two strokes im 26yo 6feets 200pounds what are your thoughts
I already have road bike experiences with an mt09
Thanks keep it up

Yeah I’d say grab a 250! Thanks for watching!
@@BeRAD why a 250 over a 125 or 150?
Wouldnt it be too much for a first dirt bike?
Supergringo92 it’ll be a lot for off-road riding at first but being a bigger guy you’d find the 125/150 to be very difficult to ride I think. They have very little bottom end torque. If you’ve ridden an mt09 you should be okay in a 250 2T. Just ride a gear high and watch out for the powerband! You’ll figure it out!
What gear box are you going to use.wr400 1st and 2nd with 250x 3rd,4th and 5th.
barra 245t leaving it stock for now
hey what was the song you used in the beginning called ? great video btw
Those things rip👊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
Noiceeee :-) Looking forward to seeing your version of a build series, I imagine it will be quite efficient? :D
It'll be pretty fast-paced. Not too much detail. Like, I'm not showing me replacing bearings and stuff. expect 4-6 episodes of similar length all said and done. (:
@@BeRAD proper pukka :-)
when the '02 is better than the '16... lol
Hell yeah, I’m looking to get a steel frame yz250 so I can build my CRF, are you going to be putting on any sort of light on this bike? I’m curious because I’ve heard the stock stator isn’t any good and nobody makes one
I plan to make it street legal because it may become a supermoto one day. Haven't planned any of that out yet though. Just an oofroad bike for now. No lights.
Any plans for other YZ or just leave it how it is
@@imdestructive7624 Ill freshen it up soon, but nothing big. As long as it runs and operates smoothly, that's all I care about. Id rather work on my riding skills than the bike haha
So how quick you putting a Lectron Carb into it?
Spear995 if you were in my Patreon you’d know 😎
@@BeRAD well played my dude.
I'm excited about this build!
That was realy good deal :D Also i have the "little brother" a '02 yz125 :D love it :3
Mr. clean magic eraser should take the dirt out of the decals on the gas tank
How do I sign up for Patreon?, is there a link?
there is a link in the description of the video, in my comment on the video, and and at the end of the video! (:
cool video buddy. I'm already subscribed.
Where's the ads?
Austin Grubbs great question, they should be playing...monetization is turned on.
anyone get this recommended 2 yeats later?
Should of got and aluminum frame models so no one will know how old it's is once you put restyle plastics on it
Nice pick up man. Not a bad way to spend 90 dollars.
Yay!
Nice !!! Want to trade plastics? Mine are pre- stressed for you. Will save you hundreds of hours on getting that BeRad signature patina 😊👍
That's a sweet deal
Duuuuuuuuuuude! How are you? I like the new channel! Took a break from social media and missed yo shit! Glad you came to the dark side and started hammering off-road! Keep it up brotha!
Anthony Seller Tony!!! My man! I thought you died haha. Glad you’re back. Thanks for the continued support dude. I’ve been doing well!
what a beast
I payed 850 for a 98yz250 fresh rebuilt motor and he didn’t know what was wrong with it it was cdi and stator easy fix that thing runs great and is fast af
I have an 03 that I’ve been building up over the years, everything is done and I started to ride it and now the forks started leaking so now I’m about to send them and the rear shock off to factory connection, any thoughts on them?
If you had to pick 1, new YZ250 or 250X for fast atv trails/free ride
The only thing showing any age is the tank decals. Smoking deal for $900.00.
Put a Trailtech Kickstand and a Lectron Carb on it.
No way those are stock tires. Tire start to crack and tread gets eat up in about 4 months for me
I believe that the carburetor is a non OEM one... don’t trust me, google it. Just saying, I see Mikuni’s on them
Goon Rides Yamaha has always ran Keihin carbs at least since 2002. It’s the stock one for sure. Anyway, it’s getting replaced 😎
BeRAD my 2002 YZ125 has a Mikuni, but yea Lectron FTW
Goon Rides hmmm maybe 2003+ then. Or the 125’s has Mikuni. Mine is a 2003 contrary to what I said in the video. Title says 2003 but I got in my head it was a 2002. I’ve looked it up and there is almost no difference between the years for the 250.
BeRAD yea there’s no difference haha
This was slightly seductive...
someone's been watching cameron niemela's videos😂
Aden Welsh-Alix is that the guy building that 2 smoke that I sometimes see on Instagram? Red cylinder head? I have not been haha. But if that’s who you’re talking about, I have heard of him yes.
@@BeRAD ya dude his videos are pretty rad you should check him out I think you would like him
The more bike build videos on here, the better!
🤙🏽
If you want to paint the frame and not pay the outrageous pricing for powder coat, I strongly suggest you buy a can of YZ Blue Paint... I use it on all my bikes, and it lasted me years. Check it out on my page/build hha
Wow
This is 2003 or 2004, 2002 did not have aluminium subframe ;)
Thats steel
05 started aluminum
By the look of the wear on the clutch cover and the frame there is no way those tires are original. Nice bike for $900👍
David Rockwell I’m friends with previous owner and that’s what they said. It doesn’t take much to wear down the cover and frame. After my first ride on it, the frame wear almost doubled lol. Sand here in Michigan is very abrasive. And you can tell the tires were 16 years old by how hard they were gahaha
@@BeRAD 👍
I want the tshirt I'm living the life same level
nobody is going to point out the flat tire on the pedal bike in the background?
Stevie t?
Rosecity mio????
I have an 02 :)
16 year old tires are nothing compared to my 33 year old original trx250r tires
I have the same bike if you want to remove the yellow off the plastics and graphics I took mine and soaked them in super hot water and vinegar and used a scotch pad. It comes off like wax.
Mattdog2020 do you think it would work on a 2006 Yamaha WR450F? Cause my bike has that also
@@colebergeron5300 yea it works on any yellowing on any plastics or graphics. Fill the tub or big sink let them soak scrub away you'll be amazed.
Maybe put a restyle kit on it update the look
For a Yz 250 in that condition you would easily pay 2000+€ in germany :/
The prices are really high cause there is more demand that offers and motocross is not that popular...

A fair price? How the the fuck is that a fair price
its 2005 jaja
This music is sexual....
