Hey porky, What was y'all checkin in front of that thar motor? Was ya makin' sheeur

that J-B weld had a takin set? She sounded pretty good up until oh say 2000 rpm or therebouts when them thar crank seals started a flappin' round. (just kidding, actually Iove to have that bike!).

@Ggordonhorseballs

was making sure the exhaust had a good seal, it used to blow the pipe of on the odd occasion, the bike sounded funny as it was an ex race engine and the carby was setup for methanol, was never jetted correctly, and probly half the dramas i had were caused by this

[cockycunt]

mate, my advice would be to buy a brand new 2 stroke 250, this bike represents my pain, tears and lost countless hours, and iv still only ridden it for approx 20 mins total, i now have this bike set up as an ornament in my workshop, and i have an 09 yz 250 to ride, as i know it isnt going to die on me as soon as i take it out :), dont get me wrong, i love the old big bores, but i personaly dont have the patience to ride them and keep them runing anymore

please dont bend over again

Really Cool video, This guy knows what he is doing. Every move is really thought out ! You Know your stuff Sir. (the one starting and revving the bike expertly!).

S!

wr500 is the same motor as the yz490 but in a yz250 frame, mono shock, upside down forks and disc brakes I've had mine for a cpl of years never lets me down, I let it down 4 months ago and flipped her at 80 kph or so, bent subfame ,exhaust and me, walking alright again now so time to replace the bits lol

Nevermind saw another vid where it had the lights. Looks like an enduro bike

[fighter4christ7]

So is the WR 500 pretty much the same as the YZ 490J? I have an 82 YZ490 and it looks pretty much the same except I have the yellow plastics. I thought when I read WR that's mean it had lights and all that stuff on em.

[JOCKATEO]

its the problem for some of these bikes like this parts are getting hard to find

[caboose365]

@cockycunt It's too bad it has to be this way but it's true. No matter how fully you restore it, it's just inherently a frustrating relationship. I can relate.
