Ok so Im finally getting around to posting my YZ build. Ive been wanting to for awhile figured now was a good time of year to do it.
So here goes.
I started with 2005 yz250. I've had this bike since day one. Around 2010 I put a Eric Gorr 295 kit ported mid to top, 50/50 race gas @5000' in it. It ran great was a very fun machine.
Then around 2014 she went into storage and never returned
Then in spring of 2017 I finally snowchecked a timbersled aro 120 and decided I was going to throw it on the ol YZ.
So I pulled it out of storage and decided to tear it down. I tore the motor out sent the jug and crank back to Gorr. Talking with him I decided I wanted the most reliable hp I could get out of his 295, and to recut the head for a 50/50 race gas mix @6000' and to rebuild and balance the crank. Since I had the cases split I rebuilt the tranny while we were there.
Then as I had a bare bike to stare at, I thought it's a going to b a snow bike I could powdercoat the frame and clamps. Then I thought if I ever put it back too dirt bike it's all gotta be coated haha.
might of got a lil carried away!
Couple custom touches from Aaron at Tagcoatings.
This is actually a black textured powder on top of the green powder! The guy is amazing
Then we slowly started putting it back together.
Finally got the motor back!
Then I got it back together, switched the plastics out for 2016 Yamaha plastics.
I also had the pipe and silencer ceramic coated. I added a cast 38mm SmartCarb with avid carb heater and thermostat. I have been extremly impressed with the smart carb. I put it on last fall rode and tuned it in the sand dunes, and I've rode it from there over 10,000' in freezing temps to 100° summer heat. It never misses a beat crisp and clean all the time. No adjustments either.
The forks already had a Race Tech desert valve job. So I decided to try the Airpro on the forks. I usually ran between 10 and 15 lbs the bike handled great and never bottomed out. The first couple rides I had some ice and frost form on the lower fork tubes. This would cause the fork seals to leak a tiny bit and lose some air pressure. So I took the forks over to Andy at Gas Shock Repair and slapped some heavy duty seals and scrapers in em. Never had another problem the rest of the season.
I decided to make a air filter. I took a no toil wash cover, made it a skeleton, and glued some prefilter over it. Worked great.
I rode this bike all winter and loved it the entire time. Never had any hiccups, problems, or wished for a different bike. And Gorrs 295 mated with the smart carb flat out screams!
Finally got a sticker kit made for it and the timbersled. Showed up last night. Stuck a couple before bed. I'll get more pics when done.
