You’re problem sounds like it’s starving for fuel or air, if it will start for a second and die, any chance you have a rag in the air box? That issue bit me just last month with my 300. I had that same yz450, only problems I ever had were the fuel pump getting trashed by the ethanol fuel I...

In my mind that would be easier than masking all the spokes. And probably look better in the end.

What did you do about the tank rollers not lining up? I test fitted a new style tank on a 2017 and the two tank roller things are an inch or so too far forward.

What shape are the shrouds and air box cover in? Also Is it worth while to replace the balance shaft assembly on a 2016 bike? I assume you have some experience with this? I’ve only heard of the stories from the 2014 and I think some 2015 bikes. I have a 16, and would not like to have a catastrophic...

I’d buy the whole bike if I knew of a good way to ship it to Utah. Does it have a title?

I put a 36 keihin from a 2016 250sx in my 17 300, I’m no pro carb guru by any means, I just got sick of dicking with my carb every time I went riding, and as the day went from hot to cold, or dry to wet. I really just missed not having to touch it ever, like on...

Is it possible to make the kyb adjuster fit in the wp lug, is to machine the kyb rebound adjusters to the same spec as the wp lug, which I have done, as well as many others. Google wp cc to kyb sss conversions.

Sounds like n awesome build, but the pics don’t work for me, any chance you have a few you post up? I’d love to see this thing.

That’s what I’d do, weld it up, thin layer of body filler if you want to, and paint. It’s not a pro race bike, well maybe it is, but it’s an old one if so, and any difference in flex or whatever people will say will happen from welding will not be noticeable or cause problems in the least, a...

Very nice! What did you use for the air boot?

Do you know what color cerakote those parts are? Looks great!

I’d atleast put new rings on, especially if you didn’t keep track of the orientation of the ones you removed. make sure you gap the rings as well. That piston doesn’t look 3 hours old, you may be wise to replace the whole deal. Crank looks fine, if the rod were burned, then you’d need to worry, just check it...

Does it go somewhere in the exhaust? It looks like it has some carbon buildup.. or something in the powervalve? Side note, what cam did you put in there? Haha, just a joke, I’m guessing you meant crankshaft..

Make sure you check the float height, many have waisted countless hours jetting, to find the floats were way out of adjustment. Ask me how I know.

I’m not 100% sure about wheel width across different makes/models, but I’d bet there are minor differences. the right side can usually be made up for, but the caliper side you’d probably need custom spacers. My limited research shows that newer Yamaha forks will fit the newer ktm triples, with the use of a 1mm shim in the lower clamp.(Yamaha...

That thing is amazing, very nice work. Let us know how the cerokoted forks hold up. They look sweet.

The coating on the vertex could be adding some to the diameter, and my understanding is the coating is there to aid in the initial break in period. So maybe it’s meant to wear away, leaving the correct diameter piston. Also, the measurement that they give for the piston could be an average of the piston, considering they typically taper...
