[OffroadUnleashed]

whos the song by? im not familiar with the remixed version

[PowerRider16]

@OffroadUnleashed the remix was done by RAC.

[PowerRider16]

@OffroadUnleashed not sure how or where i found this song i could e-mail it to you if you want it.

[mrbansheeboy1]

moto 4 looks 100 percent better

[bowhntrbls00]

im buyin a one of these 4 wheelers and im thinking about chopping the pipe like u did to yours. what did you have to do to yours to get it how it is now? and would i have to jet it differntly so that it will run right?

[PowerRider16]

@bowhntrbls00 i didn't rejet it i just took a grinder to the outside of the pipe and tore the insides out. it runs fine but it's pretty loud

[FIATF130DT]

any body no where i can get new front shocks for one of these mine are banging and cluncking when i go over bumps

[olfixjmm]

nice man. i really like your vids. like i said im trying to get out there so if you could make a recommendation in your next vid id really appriciate it . and of course ill do won for you.

[PowerRider16]

@olfixjmm no problem! will do

[4343Jonathan]

@PowerRider16 great vid im making/rebuild an atv part blaster

[kyle6345]

wat are thos new shocks off?

[PowerRider16]

@kyle6345 an 86 moto-4 225. banshe101 put kawasaki bayou 220 shocks on his moto-4 200 and they are probably better. you might want to see if big bear 350 shocks would fit

[PowerRider16]

@yamahabansheerider yeah they kept me nice and clean when i rode it lol

[TheHondaAbuser]

put a strait pipe on it!

[PowerRider16]

@TheHondaAbuser i thought about it but then it wouldn't be trail legal....

[TheHondaAbuser]

@PowerRider16 trail legal???!???

[PowerRider16]

@TheHondaAbuser def not

[TheHondaAbuser]

@PowerRider16 i feel sorry for you americans with laws like that

[OneCompHelp]

What song btw?

[PowerRider16]

it's a remix of The Who's Baba O Riley the remix was done by RAC

[mario293]

the only bad things about this quad as well as 225 moto4 is the battery location....winter gets full of snow, and if you decide to put chains on the rear tires well DONT!!!but other then that nice quad...could be otehr quad that has the same problem but yamaha didnt think really hard for that..... honda put theirs under the seat wich is a safe place from debrit or snow or mud or wha ever else you can incounters...

[PowerRider16]

yeah my warrior had a lot more design into it the battery is under the seat in that

[TheHondaAbuser]

whats the song called?

[MegaMoto4]

Does your Quad have a hand clutch. I have a 86 moto 4 200 that is a tank in water and mud I only paid 600 for Mine and I love it. I have a sintrifical clutch in mine. Great video

[PowerRider16]

ok look you're new to yt so i'm just going to tell you this straight out don't start out more than 1 comment with the same words i hate that sorry that was rude but u might as well know that now instead of later before you get yourself in trouble with someone who's got a temper. that's not the worst thing you can do but it technically qualifies as spam which i've noticed a lot of people don't take lightly

and no mine is not a manual it's hydrostatic (semi manual) just like all moto4s

[MyGta123]

i cant figure out what year my moto 4 is but it has a 225 cc engine dual rear shocks and dual range transmission thats all i know about it. if anbody knows please tell me

[haduckboy2]

what kind of front shocks did you put on and did they improve the travel/ride height in the front? thanks.

[PowerRider16]

they are front shocks from a 1986 yamaha moto-4 225. they make the landings from jumps better, they have a little more travel, they are softer and adjustable, and they jack up your front end just a little

[MegaMoto4]

Does your Quad have a hand Clutch in it . Mine is a 86 and it doesn't. Love moto 4s they are great quads and pretty cheap.

[DKrage9]

whered u get the a arms

[PowerRider16]

ebay for like 55 bucks

[monsterrmann2244]

Hey, this brings back great memories of mine. i dont ride it much anymore. But pretty soon im gonna get my electric belt sander and get the rust off the exhaust and deciding if im gonna get some exhaust pipe wrap or either paint it with the heat paint as i was going to do a couple months ago. i feel bad about the moto4

[DKrage9]

were those fly bars hard to put on

[PowerRider16]

no it was super easy

[DKrage9]

ok kool, i just picked up a 86 moto4 200 for 150 bucks, needed nouthin but front brakes and a battery

[libertyhillbilly]

Very nice! My dad and i just re-aquired his 1989 moto-4, the first quad he ever had, and we're currently working on it, it always ran great but it has some electrical problems now it seems, hopefully we can get it going and back on the trails! they're tough little machines for sure

[PowerRider16]

yeah it takes a lot to kill these. hopefully the electrical stuff turns out ok, last i checked, the CDI's cost $250 used on ebay. or does it have good spark?

[warriorider303]

lol fastest 80cc i have ever rode fun when i was younger...

[PowerRider16]

80cc? what r u talking about? this is 200cc

[warriorider303]

lol mine was an 80cc, and it was moto 4 too lol, mayby yamaha produced a few different sizes or something

[PowerRider16]

yeah yamaha made moto4s in lots of different cc's: 80cc, 100cc, 200cc, 225cc, 250cc, and 350cc. that's it as far as i know. i think they were all 4 stroke

[joeldude76]

yeah i seen an 80cc today when i went to get a clutch cable for my raptor 660

[trevorlustila3]

nice man, you did a lot of work to that thing already good video and the moto 4 looks a lot nicer than it did...one thing though with that exhaust like it is ... how much is there, there that will create back preassure because you can blow and engine real fast like that like we did on the 3 wheeler we had....but good job man !!!

[PowerRider16]

thanks! i don't think it's going to blow the motor, the problem with doing something like this is that you might need to rejet, but this time the exhaust and filter didn't need that, i just had to adjust the pilot screw (i would've rejetted if i had to, but i got lucky!)

[trevorlustila3]

im just letting you know because on the 3 wheeler we had we didnt ride it a whole lot and i have that video of the exhaust we had on it and the valves are shot it smokes more than a 2 stroke now

[ape300]

nice video

[kal3355]

nice man!!!!

[huskies0621]

Very nice! I saw some of your other vids, but never realized how much work you did on that thing! I get mine tomorrow night. I'll have to recover the seat at least, but I wouldn't mind doing some of your mods as well. It's an 88, but has yellow shocks, so I guess it's already been upgraded, or had them replaced from an earlier year.

[idiot1299]

does that air filter make a difference in power?

[PowerRider16]

it was noticeable i probably gained 1 or 2hp from it but chopping the pipe gave me like 5 or 6 more so i got like 7 or 8hp more than a stock moto4

[idiot1299]

how much was the filter

[PowerRider16]

I bought it from a dealer so it was like $23 but the stock one costs about the same lol. you can get em on ebay for a little less though

[MaxSteelATV]

Good job!

[PowerRider16]

thanks man!

[junkyardmop]

what are the yellow shocks off of, mine have the yellow ones

[PowerRider16]

your moto-4 has the yellow ones cause the 86 and 87's came stock with them but for 88's and 89's you gotta get em from a moto-4 225

[firebirdcaleb]

Nice video. Do the new shocks raise the front end any?

I'm looking at buying a 1987 moto 4 225 just serviced for $700cdn. What are your thoughts on them?

[PowerRider16]

yeah they did. they are 1986 moto-4 225 shocks

moto-4s are good machines. this is a 200 and the 225s are more utility but actually I bet they got a little sporty riding in them! this is a good machine, dependable (i've done hardly any work on it) fun for trailblazing, mudding, snow/water riding, wheelies and bicycles. i recommend them if you get em for 900 or less! it's a yamaha, what more do you need?

[junkyardmop]

whats mine worth if i were to sell it, and where can i get a reverse lever for it

[PowerRider16]

i haven't seen yours in detail obviously and you live in a different area so i can't say for sure but around here i'd say yours is maybe 750

try ebay
