Great video. I have the same bike with almost 40 hours on the motor. I only race MX but im an older racer and really dont beat on the engine. Never bounced off the rev limiter. Ive done plenty of top ends on 2 strokes but the 4 has me a little intimidated. With your video I think i'll give it a shot. Thank you

Yeah. The right side of the engine was taken apart, I put the Kickstarter back in place and the clutch back on. Waiting for a gaskets kit. They didn't keep enough oil in it and the top end blew up. New head, cams, valves etc. I took the cylinder off and the crank is good. The piston rings are broke, so need some new ones. Just a whole lot of cleaning and waiting for the gaskets!

Yes I did check the cylinder wall for damage. There is a few scuff marks but nothing that catches my finger nail even the slightest bit. I was thinking about getting a whole new postin kit but I think I'll just buy new rings cuz the piston looks fine with only a few scuff marks.

I have the same bike I got it with a blown head gasket and I replaced it and it blows coolant out the right side of the top end .. but also I do not have the original to top cylinder both on the right-hand side I have other both I had made to work but I don't understand why the gasket leak still maybe head is warped or could it possibly I installed it wrong? Any advice would be appreciated

I have a chain slap rattling noise. 04 kx250f. Bike was rebuilt. I'm thinking a cam chain tensioner. Or my chain is just super loose. I had this issue on my 05 zx10r and now have same issue on my 05 450r.
@tannerjthomas
3 жыл бұрын
I would try to tighten the chain first that usually makes a lot of noise if it’s loose. If you tighten it and it’s still doing it might be timing chain but it’s likely just your chain. Usually at lower rpm lugging it out of a corner for example is when a loose chain will make the most noise.

What year of bike is this in the video, doing top end on my 07 and curious if there’s anything different I should be aware of from video bike to my 07? Great video and attention to detail
@tannerjthomas

It’s a 17. There will be some differences on your 07 I think but overall most top ends are relatively similar. I haven’t worked on a 07 so not sure what exactly is different but I would guess not much.

hey bro i had a shop look at the bike i bought my son i took them just the motor they said the cylinder had good cross hatching so he put it back together with new gaskets and i was watching another guy talk about breaking the seal of the cylinder and if you do you should rebuild it cuz if you don’t it will mess up your motor what’s your opinion on that thanks bro
@tannerjthomas
2 жыл бұрын
These bikes get lots of wear and tear. I would say it depends on how you’re riding it. But honestly if the cylinder is still in good condition it’s fine to “break the seal”. These motors go for tons of hours and you can replace the rings and take the motor apart and put it back together and do all kinds of stuff and it won’t mess it up. Really the only time you need to be concerned with a full rebuild and messing things up is if it’s showing symptoms of bigger problems. These engines are tough. I ride mine hard and am on the rev limiter quite a bit and it’s just fine.
