I have to recommend NOT remodeling the garage while your working on anything. It has done nothing but push things back for me. Heres the 500 assembled ('final pre-fab') and requiring only minimal stuff...Im going to see if I can swedge the 250 silencer inlet to accept the 500 pipe...and I need to bu...

Iv got some on my 450 (YZ). Their fine, they are mostly covered with graphics anyways...

How about a budget comparison....My build is going to be pretty inexpensive...

Im so stoked to build this thing

Is triangulation needed on the headstay?

****please scroll down for current discussion, I have restarted this project after about a 2 year break****** I was going to upload a few pics but I dont know how on this forum! lol...Ill figure it out and get some on tonight. But Iv gotten started and have cut the factory front motor mounts...set t...

This is progressing a little quicker than I anticipated. At this point I have to chill for like a month so money can catch up but I bought a motor tonight...$300 for a supposed 89...needs piston and bored...I think this might be my first project that I can and will actually document from start to fi...

I dont mean to be a dick here, no disrespect intended... ...but it will make noise if it does not have tranny fluid in it...Often enough Iv been in a hurry to get something finished/started up and forgot one fluid or another...enough to remember it now, every time I service something. Also FWIW my (...

Iv got a 98 parts bike (complete w/blown top end) and the 500 motor that I found from a friend is missing the carb. What are pros and cons of using the 250 carb that...

Fixes like richer on the main? and/or step down compression?

Hola- My name is Mike...background is Motocross and Supermoto...a couple of the guys/gals on SMJ recommended this site for 500 help... This last weekend I bought a friends (top end-huge deto) blown up 98 250-with a title. I plan to rebuild it as a 250 and cruise it for a while, while I gather 500 mo...
