Thats a way ti take a wreck to nice job man! I remember i wrecked mine exept mine ended with a Life Flight to Cleveland Metro Hostpital and a pissed of mom. lol
your clutch is gone. I had same problem( the basket and boss are notched) even with new fibres springs and steels it will keep slipping. the bike has way more power than on the video.
@THAUBSGaming No, the clutch is fine and was replaced @4months ago (entire basket and new fibers/steels). I pulled the engine and the clutch basket is barely notched after 4months. The bottom end of the crankshaft locked up in this video. (actually it was the big end of the connecting rod)
I'm still pretty much a beginner and my yz has a little too much torque for me. Is there anyway to reduce that to get a smooth powerband like on an rm85?
lol yea you gotta check the engine ever 15 hours of riding or so because the last thing you wont to do it do wat ethan did......but it was a nice reck and that track has a couple cools jups although it way to tight...
@17150r Every 15 hrs???? No way. :) Try every ride. We change the oil after each race and organized practice. Check/Clean the air filter every other ride. There is no way (for a shadetree mechanic) to "check" for a connecting rod about to fail. If it had to fail, I'm glad it happened where it did instead a big jump like the finish line..... Btw tight tracks make you practice cornering. Anyone can go fast in a straight line.
@17150r Just have to prioritize and budget. There have been times when we have been down for a month because we had no money to race after we fixed the bike. I have to do all the work myself because we cant afford to have someone else do it and still have racing money left over. I also work some of the smaller races to cover our gate and race fees.
didn't his bike get a new crank not long ago? I don't know if you have a wiseco crank but they've had many problems and broken connecting rods seem to be common.
@DDylan816 Yup, it was a Wiseco crank back in September. The original bottom end was fine but the case bearings supporting the crank started going out. So we replaced the whole thing with a bottom end rebuild. I think this time we will try a HotRods assembly.
