Test & tune 2000 RM250 at B-52 Hangar MX
Просмотров 4785 месяцев назад
Finally had a chance to run the RM after doing a little tinkering. Leaned the needle and cleaned the carb.. got rid of the bog but it's spluttery in the transition from needle to main. Didn't write down the settings but it's getting closer! 🙈
YZ250 chasing the Hawk

Trying to follow Kasey around my backyard on his chinese dualsport Hawk. Not as easy as it should be. 20231022 #hawk #yz250 #china #japan #crash #2stroke #4stroke #motocross #woods #backyard #trails #fun

Kasey just got his forks back so he brought the KX250F over to ride. Meanwhile, my ol gal decided to eat 1st gear. I thought about just parking it, but since I don't have anything else to ride, and finding time to do it is rare also , I just rode in second and third and tried not to think about how many teeth off 1st gear are floating around down there 😅

Matt on YZ250 at TJ's FF
Просмотров 693 года назад
I went back down to the same track as the last video, but this time it was plenty dry. Here's me on a couple laps. Bike was running much better. New O-rings and adjusted pipe to sit square on cylinder. (aka bent with a borrowed hammer) I jumped most of everything, even the sketchy ones. Some of them sent better on other laps earlier in the day but I stopped trying to downside everything as I go...

Really miss that track and loved the old layout. there's a couple videos on my page too.
Weak spark
Throttle didn't stick. I just didn't know about the cruise control screw at that point 😅
Yo what's up dude, hope everything has ben going well.
Jeeeesus that was running like shit
That yz250 is barely gettin tickled by the hawk lol that thing is badass
ARE YOU BACK!?
Trying!! Up to 3 kids now and my bedroom addition is mostly done 😂
I want shut up and take my money What is it... What brand ?
The nylon cup wheel is from Menards. Performax brand. It's blue, not sure if it's the coarse or fine type. I've used them a bunch but somehow never on a dirt bike. Works great but note it will definitely take paint off magnesium and put fine scratches on a FMF pipe. It was amazing how well it erased soot stains from back fender from exhaust 👌 Stay tuned for pipe dent popping and polishing and etc 🎉
Dang that was a fun day. Also note the yz250 sounds perty lean
I can pop my up 4 gear with 14 sprocket in the front and 44 back
Where's the change part?
Just hammer the new one in with a socket
when you dont make the hill, you turn it around, ride it down, and hit it again, pushing up a hill is too much energy
I’m glad this is still here
Haha 500% yes . Good to hear from you buddy
Yeah, just did the top end on my YZ and having similar knocking sounds at low rpm. New cylinder from Cylinder Works and Vertex piston. I uploaded a video of the sound on my channel.
so you did not even play w the carb thanks
We did, chased tail a bit. Then rebuilt top end, set squish properly and some porting and head work. It wound up an awesome running bike
@@MattEllermetsdid u need race fuel?
Keep her lit! 🤘
Nice firm kickstarting there. Reminds me of trying to start my old yz490, it s a real beast to start. Gotta really jump on it to get a good kick.5 mins kicking like this guy here to get it started. ruclips.net/video/fjlcCoDKAPo/видео.html. Bet you'd be jumping on it high and hard if it was a 490. Feels great though when you finally get it to start after kicking the shit out of it 20 or 30 times
gotta go leaner
I have a 2003 kx250 with 4.1 hours on the meter after a full engine rebuild new crank and all. It's got a pinging noise in the high rpms
Nothing like the noise of that one tho it's just sounds like a high pitched fast rattle
What's the squish set to? Compression ratio? Fuel?
Man im trying to true a Kx450 crank and NO MATER HOW HARD i hit it it does not want to budge. Im at .015 and could not get it to move at all. I thing i might need to but the oxygen torch to it.
Press it apart and back together already? Maybe press back and forth to budge it some.
@@MattEllermets i dont have the equipment to press it apart i cut the old rod off then the pin in half. Might need to invest in some press block now. Thankyou for the input
@@reminoel483 I used harbor freight 20 ton press for my crank
i have the same issue when i changed the piston. how did you fix yours?
I think he did a top end and cut the head to give lower compression and tighter squish.
After how many hours would you normally replace these?
I only replaced to get different performance characteristic
Late response but here ya go….mine are in need of replacement and I’ve got nearly 50hrs on it since install. This is from singletrack woods riding. Lots of low speed, engage/disengagement.
Nice video guys

She looks to be a 1974 XLH. Great year, last year for the right side shift.
Right on both ✌️
how tall are you ?
I'm 6'2" Alice 5'4"
@@MattEllermets im 5,5 will i be able to tip toe or have one foot on the ground
What is that
Hey Matt, done any more riding at Kickapoo? I think you'd get a kick out of the enhancements over the past few years. You should definitely check them out. The local GIS department of the City of Danville, IL has created a wonderful virtual tour story map for the Kickapoo MTB trails. It shows all the trails, elevations, gives a summary of them and even interactive maps. Check it out here: storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/aa2e3a41c3dc40fdb2aee1f3d0c2d058
Very nice! I have a few times but not the last year or so. I've seen some of the updates on their Facebook. Looks great
That was a great time even with my short legged follies. It’s been 5 years now and I’d do it again if it ever comes to be a ride again. Thanks for videoing this Matt. Pigjockey xr650r
how easy is the other side?
Is being able to start it by hand like that a bad thing?
No
Thats when the four wheelers are fun.
Mud is the great equalizer!!
Would this be good for someone that os 5.2
Sure, but not if you want to touch the ground!
@@MattEllermets is that the biggest 125
@@icyon60fps81 I don't know, I think the newer KTM's maybe smaller Once you're moving it doesn't really matter if you can touch the ground. But something like a KDX or TTR or XR/CRF 110 or whatever would be good to start on
I am 100000 percent not going to a 110 i have a kx 100 right now I dont know what i will get just preparing for my next bike thanks
@@icyon60fps81 When I was younger I used to always want a KX100 🤘 Good luck and have fun 😁

Miss that bike .. but it went to a much better home
Currently having this problem but WAY worse on my 2020 KTM 125 SX. I can idle\take off perfectly. It revs out nicely in neutral, but in my bottom 3 gears at 1\4-1\2 throttle it does nothing but hesitate until I either get into the high RPM range, or am running it in 4th gear or higher. I am frustrated, any ideas? my bike SCREAMS at high RPM and will lift the front tire off the ground with ease after a certain RPM.
If not jetting maybe coil or stator? I think in this case it was electronic problem. Clean coil and stator and new plug wire etc
@@MattEllermets will do! Thanks!!!!
@@3TapChapAS np & good luck! Problems like that can be super frustrating
did you fixed it? having the same on my 125sx
I got the "JDJetting" kit for my carb, and replaced the o rings in the pipe. Then replaced the crank seal and now it runs wonderfully
Dodgy ignition coil
I’m about 5 foot 6 or 5 foot 7. Should I be able to fit on a yz125 with a 39.3 inch seat height?
I'm sure you can although I would suggest you to not mess with the back wheels suspension if it's still a little too tall you can always cut some foam off the seat but some 5 foot 5 and above can ride with both tippy toes so you should be chillin
I wonder if we will have a repeat this year? that start though lol.
Kinda looks like it 🤣
It's crazy how much I love this video. Inspires me to get my 1970 Ironhead going. Thanks~
Glad to hear it!
And thanks to Brian for letting me use his truck this weekend!!
This is one of the videos that got me looking for a KDX220R. Thanks for sharing! :)
It will rev out each gear stronger and longer once you fatten up jetting too
Stuck top end if you dont richen up that jetting
You need to raise the needle up out of the needle jet until it starts to bog then go back one click on the needle. Then increase main jet size until it bugs then go back down one main jet size. Jetting is absolutely critical
My bike was doing the exact same thing with the lean idle and pinging. Tried everything from new reeds, lectron carb, richened it and nothing worked. So did Brian just rebuild the top end or the whole engine?
I don't remember, I think just the top end, and we recut the head so it'd have proper squish and compression
Love the look of this bike; some sportsters seem out of proportion with the big fat back end and spindly forks/tiny tank combo, but this one gets it spot on. The sound is phenomenal too; nothing snarls like an Ironhead.
that’s a siezeco for ya. get tighter tolerances with a cast. your racing anyways...
Are you doing it this year
Probly not 😡 I would love to but recently broke a side case on my 250, it is JB welded right now 😅 I picked up another set of cases but haven't had time to swap them on yet
Ok
This is going to be my first year, because my dad never really wanted me because I had an 85 to and now I’m on a 125
One of the good things is that I live in Fenton so I get to ride some of the trails that Bill makes.
Awesome, that's some good stuff
Did u do any tow haul mode. I just smoked my fresh 4l80e and I think it’s because I don’t have tow haul mode
That trans never had a problem. Maybe due to the 410 rear end I have sold this van though and have a one-ton Cummins now
@@MattEllermets I would love to have a Cummins eventually. Did you have a tow haul button for that van? If so was it factory?
I don't think the van had a towhaul button. Just the 4L80E with 123D
