lol same. Just picked me up a 07 450 3 days ago. its squirting antifreeze everywhere. Replacing radiator but might as well just do a top end rebuild while I'm at it.
Many thanks for sharing. I've got a 2006 RMZ450 and it is a fantastic bike. Would love a 5th gear but having grown up on two strokes, I really like the 220 lbs versus the 250 lbs of the newer RMZs. You guys sharing on youtube are awesome. Found an FCR car rebuild video and after doing the mid-body seals it runs like a new bike. Best,
Loved it Mate I’ve just picked up a 2007 450 ,I guess it’s the same ,top end is in bits but all there ,thanks to your vid I’m going to have a crack at putting it back together Cheers from Aus

I’m rebuilding the same bike at the moment, that oil prime trick is a good one , I never thought of doing it with head on to get oil up to the journals.
This will ensure that the filter and lubrication system are ready to go, no dry starts. Just have to be sure the cam chain doesn’t roll up on the crank sprocket. Thanks for watching and for your feedback.
Sir appreciate for this videos.I have same bike and starting to rebuild by getting these videos as my main support. I hope you didn't pass any point while assemble it otherwise I will getting confused :)

@@restoroosterohv everyone thinks that knock is rod knock but its actually normal on the Suzuki's they are just loud bikes everyone that ive heard and owned sounds like that
@@kickassdirtbiker4607 it was actually the stator side main bearing. I should have replaced it while I had it apart. There was up and down play in it.. Pulled the engine and replaced them, problem solved. I agree that they are noisy engines but this was more than normal. Hard to hear in the vid.
good evening, my engine ran out of oil, because the oil filter was upside down and didn't get oil up with the consequence of sticking the piston and damaging the cylinder as well the head is very good, not damaged the good thing is that the engine did not stall while I was driving it I went to put it in front and the crank wouldn't go down is there a chance that if I put a new piston and cylinder the connecting rod will knock;; now there is no vacancy in the connecting rod Whats ur opinion;
Generally, the lack of lubrication due to the oil pump system causes more damage to the top end. The big end bearing usually gets dunked in the sump oil as it spins. Obviously, check for up-and-down play of the connecting rod and make sure that it rotates freely and you should probably be OK.
@restoroosterohv i have done the connecting rod up and down and there are no gaps, tommorow i am waiting for the new cylinder and piston with rings So i will put it and we will see...because someone told me when the engine gets compression the connecting rod will hit because it's left with oil
Hey, Thank u i learn alot from your videos 😊 I just buy rmz 450 2005 and its really really strong bike, but got one problem, Its backfiring when you let off the gas like crazy, and idle not work when leave choke without gas, but the engine starts from the first time from kicking 😊 Can you give me mejbi some advice for fixing it? Thank you Sry for my bad english... 😅
You are having an issue with your idle circuit in your carburetor or an air leak in your intake. I would say pull apart your carburetor and make sure that it is completely clean through all of the passages, especially the idle circuit. It is a very small opening and tins to block up easily, causing the problems you’re saying.
Excellent video, I really enjoyed watching it! I am curious what valve springs you used. Are they the stock ones or stiffer ones for the steel valves? I have an 05 bike like this and as far as I'm aware they don't have a rev limiter being carbureted.
Thank you for your comment. It was a while ago but I believe I used a stiffer spring for the steel valves. Your bike definitely has a rev limiter unless someone put an aftermarket cdi that removed it.
Thank you for your support and feedback. I have a few videos on shimming valves on other brands. I will do an in depth video on valve shimming the next chance I get.
So did this model use stainless valves? And the timing spacing is different on a 16 which is 14 teeth. I found my issue: throttle cable rubbed a wire on the tip over sensor
Rooster man I’m doing an 07 rmz450 and the cam chain is too tight to even install it’s brand new and it’s super tight I started with the exhaust cam but it’s too tight to even go over the intake cam
@@restoroosterohv yea i had the tensioner out and it’s was seated around the crank teeth but I came to the realization that I just bought a cheap cam chain even though it had the correct part number it’s just too small. Have you ever bought something with the part number but doesn’t fit? I mean it was only 13 bucks off eBay so I went ahead and got one from Rocky Mountain for 50 bucks we’ll see what happens
@@restoroosterohv yea I just thought If it has the part number then it’s oem lol but that’s definitely not the case thanks rooster man you help more than you know and also I jb welded that cam chain guide seat and it’s hard as a rock
The engine consumes oil and emits brown smoke, hard to start (light crank), does it have anything to do with the decompression valve. Good video, greetings from Bosnia.
An engine that consumes oil will either have worn piston rings or the valve seals are leaking. Either way, I see a top end rebuild in your future. White smoke will generally be burning water/coolant, black smoke is running rich (too much fuel) and blue smoke is burning oil. Good luck with your bike and thanks for watching.
Not sure which tool you are referring to as I used a lot of them. If you are talking about the blue handled screwdriver, I am using it against the piston to locate top dead center.
Yes. Maintenance is key. Change your oil and filter often. Keep your air filter cleaned and oiled. Adjust the chain when needed and clean and lube after every ride. Pay attention to manufacturer recommendations on cam chain and tensioner replacement intervals and keep your valves in spec. Treat em good and they will usually respond in kind.
Hello I had a question for you and maybe you could answer it for me. I ordered a new set of cams for my 2005 suzuki rmz and the exhaust cam didn't come with the auto decompression assembly that I see on your exhaust cam. I looked online at the parts manual and didn't see one listed as a part you could buy. I called hotcams and they couldn't find this part either. Is this something that is required to put on the exhaust cam for it to function?

Nice work 👍🏼 these older 4T MX bikes are worth saving⭐️
I agree. Thank you
Great video. Not to many out there covering the 05 rmz.
Thanks. I don’t get many RMZs.

Glad the bottom end worked out good. Nicely done

No, don’t worry about that. I would certainly be more concerned with the camshaft journals and cam caps in the head being melted.

Do you have the tensioner out completely? If so, be sure it’s not bound up around the crank gear. After that, you may have the wrong chain.

@ReelLyferOS sometimes the aftermarket companies will put the OEM part number so that you have a reference, but obviously that doesn’t work always.

What is the bench tool you use and what is that you doing with the 2 screwdriver or the flat head?
Not sure which tool you are referring to as I used a lot of them. If you are talking about the blue handled screwdriver, I am using it against the piston to locate top dead center.
Perfect!!!!!
Thank you!
This guy makes doing a rebuild , look like he’s just making a sandwich
I’ve made a lot of sandwiches over the years. They don’t all go smoothly. Thank you for your comment and support.
Is where you put your valve seals I believe is 25:17 is like a compressor tool

I would love to. I can only get what’s available to me.
Are the rmz 450 engines reliable???? I have a suzuki rmz 450 2007. What should i do to not have a problem??
Yes. Maintenance is key. Change your oil and filter often. Keep your air filter cleaned and oiled. Adjust the chain when needed and clean and lube after every ride. Pay attention to manufacturer recommendations on cam chain and tensioner replacement intervals and keep your valves in spec. Treat em good and they will usually respond in kind.
What’s the name of the classified you got the parts from trying to source parts to rebuild mine on a budget
I get my parts mainly through eBay and Rocky Mountain ATV. Some used stuff can be found locally through Facebook Marketplace.

You will not be able to kick the 450 without the decompression assy. I believe you need to use the decomp mech from the stock cam on that.
How long did you rotate the engine till the oil started coming out of the head?
5-10 seconds I would say.
What action you find your parts on sir
eBay, Marketplace, Rocky Mountain ATV
How did u get the head on
I'm not sure that I understand your question.
i subbed you
Thank you!
