sup guys !aint on here to much anymore , but just tought i'd give you an update on the yfz .
well it ran lean(blew a head gasket) and fried the rings,ordered a new set just waiting on gaskets,i got a mechanic to look and inspect everything he also did the valvesre-seated them or something??) and did the clearences ,he said it will work like bran new the onlt bad things he found was the clutch cable ,swingarm bearings,front shocks and bolt !he only charged 100 labour and is putting it all back together.
so i ordered :
clutch kit
clutch cable
rings(got them)
gaskets
petcock(old one diddnt like reserve lol)
and ordering a gytr graphics kit two bros m7 slip on with fmf powerbomb header tomorrow (getting it for 170 shipped)only problem is on of the tabs on the exhaust has broke off which i will just get welded,ordering it tomorrow hopfully .i should be spraying the vaalve cover,clutch cover, bead lockers,timing cover bolts(big bolts on the crank case) a strong blue on tuesday or wensday ! i also polished the engine mounts and the oil tank ressie yesterday .. got back bracks and braided lines a month or 2 ago also. finaly getting someware!the mechanic said i could have a spare BB jug he had (athena 471) which needs replating for free but would cos to much once i get the piston and re-plating done .so all it needs is the front shocks rebuilt and rear tyres and it'l be ready to rip :)

and...?

that sounds awesome bro glad to hear that you're finally making progress on it! and can't be a free Athena BBK! i want to see pics and maybe some vids when you get all this done!
 
thanks man! i put the front fenders on it recently but no new pics with them on yet because i'm waiting to get my +3+1 a arms on. in my current sig pic i have one on but not the other and it still sits like that. i found out that i can't use my current mechanical drum brakes and need hydros on the front to use the a arms so my blasty will be sitting for a while. i let it sit about 2 weeks and it started first kick! it's still running strong and on it's 4th year for the top end.
 
looking well! damn you must take care of it

i do, i take very well care of it and only buy the highest quality stuff for it. for tranny oil i use Honda Racing oil (same i run in everything and never had a problem) and for the premix i use super-tech and never had a problem with it either... by the way do you know anybody on here that has some front hydro's to get rid of? need them for my new a arms or else i can't ride lol
