Saw this bike on in the thread and it looks like they have a brembo caliper on the front. I just bought a brembo master cylinder, line, and caliper off eBay for cheap with the plan of using the master and line. Anyone know how it's done? Thinking off

prefer the clean look of the top, also notice it is more "trick" than the bottom one with updated front end Or you could just skip the graphics they just wear off anyways.
I'd go if I wasn't 2,663 miles away.
Thanks, picked up some carbon fiber goodies
If you want to make a trip come east hit me up and I'll give you a guide to this area
I thought mike retired...dang I'm out of it. No 2 week Miracle recovery like how did with his knee? Good luck mike!
Me and my girlfriend are huge fans of Cooper, I told her before sx this year I wouldn't expect to see Cooper on yamaha next year. If he did good someone would get him, if he did bad/average yamaha would dump him. He did decent is sx, didn't blow anyone ... more »
Skda does some of the best looking graphics, but most of them involve black frame to complete the look and it's not for me. Killer bike, I have the dep on my bike and it rocks!
How about pipe hangers? I've looked at getting a sheet of carbon and cutting and drilling out one like the factory bikes had.
Used?
I know a guy with a 2010 crf250 with the original spark plug in it. And I know many people who say the Yamaha are indestructable even with many hours.
Get 4 stroke pegs, cheap and huge!
For your 2017 guards you will need 2008+ fork lugs. That is when they changed to that bolt pattern. I had a 2005 and even it was a different pattern from the 03 you are showing. The 05-08 is bolt on side one bolt 90 degrees from that one on the front, ... more »
Ddddddam!! Not a fan of black frame but that bike near about everything a yz can have. Swing arm swap would complete it!
Yeah I'm gathering the parts to do the swap on mine now. When the reverse engine came in they moved the shock making the swingarm not work on the yz. There are 2 options to fix this from yamahas point of view. Move the shock back over on the 4 stroke ... more »
Why would they change? Simple, to reduce number of parts in inventory and reduce production cost. If parts from the four strokes will fit (example triple clamps and front fender) why spend the money to make the parts specific to the 2 stroke? The entire ... more »
How about this? Make a vent tube with a flange about 1" dia. And maybe .125" thick. Then drill the flange. Somehow clean the inside of tank (hasn't had gas in it for a while) Then put sealant on the top of the flange. Insert vent tube through filler
How do you mean reinforced? like where it cant be hit and knocked out? Could make it a T shape and put it in from the inside to help it be stable?
That may be what I do if I can't find a way to put it in the tank. Kinda like this blonix cap. I would be able to machine the cap to bolt on the stock yz breather valve. (Whatever you call that thing on the bottom of the gas cap)
