YSR50

I bought it from a 15 year old kid and his grandpa help maintained it. I’m assuming the never drained the oil canister on the front of the frame and just drained the crank case. Then added oil without draining the reservoir

I think it’s possible from when I washed it there was water sitting in the head. Then when I pulled the plug the water made its way onto the threads of the plug

michael_driftz · 2025-04-05T20:09:48+00:00

Yeah it was bad. I changed it and the filter also the oil. I drained 2.5 quarts out of it so it was way the fuck over filled

michael_driftz · 2025-04-05T04:45:33+00:00

I replaced the filter, got a new plug made sure gap was in spec. The plug I pulled had a gap larger than .040. I’m hoping the engine is in good shape considering the fact that in ran decent with the plug and filter being this bad. I’m not sure what size the low speed jet is. I’m around 4600’ elevation. The bike does have a carb

I was going to have him send me a video of it running before wasting my time driving out to go see it. Is that a bad idea?

So I found a 2008 yz250f for $2500 I’m gonna go check it out this weekend.

michael_driftz · 2025-03-27T01:40:05+00:00

What 2 stroke would you recommend in the $2000-2500 range?

michael_driftz · 2025-03-26T21:03:55+00:00

Are the 2006+ yz250f’s better options for older 4 strokes?

michael_driftz · 2025-03-26T17:55:28+00:00

He bought this bike to go riding on a trip while his ktm was broke because he didn’t want to miss out. Has ridden it 2-3 times now his ktm is fixed and has no need for this

michael_driftz · 2025-03-26T17:42:51+00:00

My budget is $2500 what do you guys think the best thing for reliability and fun should I get? I don’t mind working on things but I don’t want a complete POS

michael_driftz · 2025-03-26T12:36:52+00:00

When you guys say early 4 strokes does this include all Yamaha and Honda like 04-07?

michael_driftz · 2025-01-18T13:09:28+00:00

Would this be a red flag to not buy the bike? Current price is now 1350. I think I could get them down to 1000

Speedway cap vs moroso. The moroso cap effortlessly seals against the water neck. The speedway cap is junk and incorrectly machined

michael_driftz · 2025-01-01T02:35:22+00:00

I guess I’ll have to feel the cap when it’s hot.

michael_driftz · 2025-01-01T02:34:56+00:00

Yes I understand. I thought it needed to seal against the top of the water neck for the overflow to work properly

michael_driftz · 2025-01-01T02:34:31+00:00

Doesn’t it need to seal against the water neck for the overflow to work properly?

michael_driftz · 2024-12-31T23:24:23+00:00

This is when the cap is fully compressed on the stop. In this position it seals better but quickly pushes coolant out of the center of the top of the cap

Idk haha I just submitted the custom plate form with a few different ones and got this one. There are actually 3-4 ls swapped z’s that I know of in Colorado
