It's not hard to learn but it depends on the person I guess. I've been riding since I was 5 and I'm 46 now. It took about a year before I started riding well.
@ yeah I ride of course I don't jump triples but I go balls out in the desert and enjoy a challenging hill climb, trails and such. Riding is the only time I feel no pain. Must be the endorphins.
As an eBay seller and buyer, I know that the bottom end alone is commonly sold for $500 and I got the whole bottom end plus a lot of other parts, some of which I have already sold. I did my research
@@tattoojunk666 yeah for that roller 500 is max, we own a shop buy sell repair all kinds of race quads bikes and sleds, the 4 strokes are very expensive when they go lots of people going back to 2 strokes because of that
This makes me feel special. I got a whole red plated complete 2007 yz450f with complete motor and everything (not blown up) just missing a chain for $300.00
one thing is people asking X ammount for X part, other thing is people actually buying them at that price...you already out on this project if the goal is to make money, but hey...have fun with it!
You can get that cylinder sleeved which is about 200 at a machine shop. You strip it down and give them the sleeve and a pistion and its 100% good again
Don't lose heart my friend. Even if it does cost a bit more than you thought to put right, it's all about lifes lessons weather they be good or bad. Checkout DIY Gang, he got a lot of negative comments about the burnt out Hellcat he bought but he showed all the doubters and haters it can be done!
Oh boy can't wait to see what you're doing to this one. Maybe make something more with the J&B weld and solder... Or you could try using epoxy this time.
Nope, no jb weld or epoxy on this one. I actually think I'm gonna take it easy, put the hammer down, and leave the cases intact. I'm just hoping some people will learn from my mistakes, because I definitely do!
You can get the cylinder replated for $200. Powerseal USA does them. And they do really good work. Your cylinder will be like brand new when they give it back to you.
I got a 2008 yz450f for 980$ it has a left broken case because it didnt have a case saver, and the rear hub was also broken, got a new case for 220 and I had a spare rim laying around everything else is good it runs excellent has some upgrades tooo so I got a good bike for 1200 once I replace the case, I'm only 15
Also while you're at it you should split the cases to make sure there's no damage and replace the crank bearings. And check the crank to make sure it's good.
Probably some valve guides and new camshafts mounts that match and are sold with the head. Ive seen many people having the intake side seized because the 6 bolts were not tighten properly on periodic valve jobs, it's now the begining of the end. Get a good new head it's not worthy to fix it. Order yourself a cylinder works kit or a wrench rabbit complete rebuild kit with all the bearings. That's the best affordable option you have, if your are serious about racing this bike that has already good suspension setup. Don't be cheap on little things, ride safe and never hesitate to grab a gear or pull a rev-limiter in doubt of a bad landing in a high speed jump.
sweet deal man, kool , you found a engine. of course if it would have came equipped and able to idle, you would still have to disassemble it to see if any parts needed to be changed out and replaced. . . so at least there is no time wasted on tearing it down. most of it is already done for you. at the ending , you mentioned that it would make for a good mountain bike. . . how about goofing around and build a center crank and put a chain on it, then taking it for a spin. LOL awesome video !!
Good luck on the build my man! Hope your motor build goes better than mine did for my 2005 yfz450. Bought it in totes and thats the last time i buy a basket case! Was told i had way more parts in the tote than i did lol. But finally after like 6 months of slowly piecing it together and ordering different parts for it i now have a stage 2 stroker kit with a 501 big bore kit and aftermarket everything on it and inside of the motor lol. Good luck man and look at alot of diagrams! I was missing little gears, spacer rings, c clips, bearings, just all kinds of little shit you wouldnt really notice til its back together and grenades again lol
Still going huh. Used to watch ur videos a long time ago since the cafe racer build and then i kinda stopped watching ur vids but seems u havent stopped
I purchased a good condition fully running 1990 YZ250 for £500 I raced it every weekend for a year & sold it for £500 There's a reason 4 strokes end up as rolling chassis donors for 2 stroke engines - they are heavy, unreliable & expensive to repair time bombs.
Where do you find these bikes fr! I’ve been searching and the only one I’ve found is a yz 80 for $300 but it got sold right when I was about to buy it...
You need a new timing chain also that ones done,you'll be in the head alone for at least 500 the seats should be re cut to match the new valves plus cams buckets springs seals gaskets and at least 1 new valve guide, clean bike though its worth fixing and keeping or trade up
Nice! First year of the aluminum frame!! I bought my 2008 WR450F for 3k. Now you just gotta order some sumo wheels and send in a bill of sale or orv title to dirt legal and street legalize it!!!
where do you people live?!? that bike as a crate of parts would be $8-900 where i am. i'm getting ready to buy a yz125 that has no title, and serious issues, but runs for $600 because it is the cheapest off road bike i can find. good ones start at $1800, and go up from there. i sold my xt225 over the winter, and i'm kicking myself for it ever since. now i know why he offered me what i thought was a crazy price so i took it.
Not to mention Yamaha makes the stupid 5 valve and there so expensive to replace the valves and springs with quailty. Man I feel hella sorry for ya. Ur gonna be deep into this bike so deep u might get to keep it
Ehhh it wouldn't be that difficult really but I'd rather have a gas engine on this one. An electric motorcycle might be one of my future builds though ...
Somebody didn't take care of it lol. It could have jumped a tooth or two on the crankshaft if the cam chain was loose enough which causes a whole boat load of shit. Yeah he really did say the bottom end was fine, but do I believe him? No, not one bit lol. I will be splitting the case just to check things out just in case the bottom end really isn't fine. Thanks for watching!
Worth 2k 2100 tops sold a 06 crf250r dual exhaust model for 2150$ 7+ years ago 1600-1900$ realistically... cases are the most expensive part like 300-700$ depending on bike but I think you over payed a little on that engine bud ! But good luck 🍀
Got to admire his spirit. Wanted a project. Learned a lesson.
Rigguy is it hard to ride a dirtbike i wanna learn

You got screwed on that motor
yea he did
5 valve motor is junk
What a rip, poor kid.
I can get complete running Honda or Kawasaki 450 running engine for 300 and he paid 470 for a blown one
@@stevebellen8674 BECAUSE?
That's a $1500 clapper, complete and running. Your dreaming at 2500-3000 bucks
Liberty Rocks He could get $2500 if the engine and suspension are mint
As a motorcycle mechanic, you overplayed for a worthless motor, should look more into used running ones
As an eBay seller and buyer, I know that the bottom end alone is commonly sold for $500 and I got the whole bottom end plus a lot of other parts, some of which I have already sold. I did my research
Vyvanz Bus Yamaha 5 valve motors are junk
@@stevebellen8674 I figured they were since Yamaha doesn't make them anymore
When are u making a start on the work on this
@@mopedboys6669 after I get all of the right parts. I've been having to be patient to wait for good deals to pop up
Buying and rebuilding a 2stroke motor and swap in would make more sense...
Yep yz250 swap it wouldve been the way to go we have one right now 2014 yzf250 frame with a yz250 2 stroke
in it
@@Stoshua.81 still cheaper and more fun less headache...btw 500 is a normal price for a rolling chassis.
@@tattoojunk666 yeah for that roller 500 is max, we own a shop buy sell repair all kinds of race quads bikes and sleds,
the 4 strokes are very expensive when they go lots of people going back to 2 strokes because of that
This makes me feel special. I got a whole red plated complete 2007 yz450f with complete motor and everything (not blown up) just missing a chain for $300.00
Just wait for more deals so you can get the best price, but I think you already know that. Also don't feel rushed while doing this project.
Over here from the workshop and subscribing.
Thanks, welcome to the channel!
Better hope you make 4 grand on this video to cover the parts to fix this junk
Just put a kx/cr 500 motor in it
Good deal another project hey I got my bike started 92 750 nighthawk
one thing is people asking X ammount for X part, other thing is people actually buying them at that price...you already out on this project if the goal is to make money, but hey...have fun with it!
Roses are red,
violets are blue,
i got clickbaited,
you got too.
You can get that cylinder sleeved which is about 200 at a machine shop. You strip it down and give them the sleeve and a pistion and its 100% good again
That is a good option, but it turns out that I can get a good cylinder and piston on eBay for around $150.
Don't lose heart my friend. Even if it does cost a bit more than you thought to put right, it's all about lifes lessons weather they be good or bad.
Checkout DIY Gang, he got a lot of negative comments about the burnt out Hellcat he bought but he showed all the doubters and haters it can be done!
Your not making any money on that bike man. Its gonna be way more than you think at least 1000 dollars in just the top end alone.
agreed
Yep lucky to brake even
You're forgetting the RUclips revenue
I did a top end rebuild on my kx250 for 78 dollars. 56 for piston, rings, roller bearing, pin, and circlips. 22 on gaskets and o rings
The valve guide with the broken stem in it needs changing
Matt he knows what hes doing. He watched all dells video's
Gold guy these videos are solid bro.
I look forward to seeing that bike running 💪👌
Lmao all these people doubting you and the bike came out just fine
Good luck. You're gonna need some
Really excited for this project!👌
Check out the new vid about it!
Just go with it and learn more...! Money will come in the end. 👍🏻👍🏻🔩🔧🏍️
Who told you u got a good deal. A super good deal. Mega screeing
You can sleeve that cylinder
Cool man! I hope you can get it fixed up and sold for a profit.
Oh boy can't wait to see what you're doing to this one. Maybe make something more with the J&B weld and solder... Or you could try using epoxy this time.

If the vin on the bike says it's a 2007, then it's an '07, it goes by the frame vin not the motor
Its going to be a great build nice buy
Braaap. Subscribed. Looking forward to hearing it run.

DAMN MASON! I LOVE THOSE KIND OF PROJECTS SOOOOO MUCH!!!
My buddy bought a good bike cheap and found out it was stolen. Almost went to jail over it.
Still going huh. Used to watch ur videos a long time ago since the cafe racer build and then i kinda stopped watching ur vids but seems u havent stopped
Best wishes on this project. Hope you can find all it needs.
Now that’s a freakin steal. Nice
I just bought a 2005 crf450 for 900 it runs just needs a head gasket
Slap it together + starter fluid = fuck it full send!
Cool video!
Awesome deal, looking forward to the build
That was very unexpected xD. I am really looking forward to this, great job man😊👍
U can buy then for 800 to 2000k running and good condition
the engine sounds like it runs well!

I paid 200 bucks for an 08 yz450 with original title in better shape than that granted it needed a full rebuild kit which was $700.
nice project, stoked for the progress!
Looking forward to the build!
Haha, the tarp unveiling is not so surprising when you put the surprise in the title! :P
I knowww
@@GoldGuyRides I spoke too soon though, 'cause the 'no motor part' was the surprise.
I thought I knew what he was unveiling and I thought there was no point then I realized it had no motor 😂
Where do you find these bikes fr! I’ve been searching and the only one I’ve found is a yz 80 for $300 but it got sold right when I was about to buy it...
good luck with the rebuild man hope one day you will do some nice wheelies with this babe1
You need a new timing chain also that ones done,you'll be in the head alone for at least 500 the seats should be re cut to match the new valves plus cams buckets springs seals gaskets and at least 1 new valve guide,
clean bike though its worth fixing and keeping or trade up
Liked ! For buying best kinda bike money can buy 450 balls!
Best bike money can buy xc 300 2 stroke, faster and lighter than yee old 450s, ( I have both) ;)
I see you! i’m buying another bike soon
Come to Singapore
You should put a bycycle crank with petals...
This gon get expensive quick
Great bike and great project! Looks like you have your hands full with that motor tho...
Yeah probs but I'll figure it out
Nice! First year of the aluminum frame!! I bought my 2008 WR450F for 3k. Now you just gotta order some sumo wheels and send in a bill of sale or orv title to dirt legal and street legalize it!!!

What a steal!!!!
400 bucks I have a 04 yz450f runs and drives great I paid 2 grand for it 5 years ago. if you rebuild that you should keep it.
Why didn’t you buy a good running motor for like $1200????

Try to finish the ts185 before this build
I got a quad for sale 1500 needs a lil work but its a 85 lt230s. Needs tlc runs
Does the bike run?
You seriously got ripped on the motor.

Is it hard to try and make it electric?
Ehhh it wouldn't be that difficult really but I'd rather have a gas engine on this one. An electric motorcycle might be one of my future builds though ...
Reading that title I was like how?!?!?! ohhhhhh lol
I would love this I had to sell mine it was locked up wen I got it n just had to give it up to a friend
If I was redoing the bike rebuild it from bottom to top that way u know what’s in it it’s right
That is the plan!
GoldGuy good deal man hope to see more vids from it
Your water pump is there, I think you just need the housing. I think you should clean the bottom end, looks like a bunch of junk fell in there
Yeah it does look like that, someone didn't put a rag in the crankcase hole like they were supposed to...
Nice videos!! keep it up :-) / Any tips of how to unclog the passages( of air and fuel) on a really bad! carburator?? its an xr250r 87

Guys sure he could’ve bought a running engine but what’d be the fun in that?
How much will a used bike cost
you lied..you said it was a yz400..but its just a yz ;) good luck with it
Your an idiot
How the helll did thr ebgine get in that condition? My favorite line: The guy said the bottom end is fine. I'll be watching. Thanks for the videos.
