street legal 2-strokes

  1. #126

    Re: street legal 2-strokes

    $62 ebay forks are from a different year bike...mmm...dunno if I want to take the risk on another set of aluminum cast threads...I like the idea of reinforced threads from a heli-coil

    so I got a tip from a friend - I'm going to call the local moto-specific suspension shops (race-tech, RG3, etc.) to see if they have experience with stripped axle threads - maybe they will have a recommendation on insert (heli-coil vs. solid insert) with a part in stock and some know-how on lining up the fork leg to drill it!

    Re: street legal 2-strokes

    so yeah!

    who has a grenade we can throw at this 2002 YZ426F?



    fired maybe 3 times...I couldn't recreate the steps quite well enough to figure it out...

    either way...got to spend some time on it today...

    old tank was leaking:



    got a replacement from fleabay for $80 shipped...score!



    going to keep the old petcock:



    the old gas tank screw heads had been broken off...with the stud still stuck in the frame...





    I wanted to save the threads in the frame for new bolts, so I did my best to unscrew it with a set of vice-grips...



    luckily she came out...



    threads saved!



    wiped off the dirt - still got the oem yamaha blue



    new tank went on with no issues



    I followed the instructions online (decompression lever in, kick it over 3 times, choke on, kick 1/2 down, let go of decompression lever and kickstarter, kick through) and got it to fire 3 times...but couldn't for the live of me figure out how I did that...most of the time the kicker would get stuck halfway...other times it went through without even firing

    I'll bring it to my friend in advance (who will be riding it)...but if it doesn't work out, I might just bring him a 2-stroke...after I spent 1/2 an hour trying to start it, I'm guessing the engine flooded, because when it backfired, it sounded like a pistol!!

    I need to teach you how to fire a four stroke, without the decompressor...

    Re: street legal 2-strokes

    it's not possible...I'm pretty sure the 426 was created to drive dirt bikes away from the sport through frustration

    I'm also going to edit my thread title - "breakdirt916's broken dirt bike adventures" - all my shiet, one thread.

    Re: street legal 2-strokes

    thought money was the fix?

    I know...sell all the bikes, buy a plated smoker 200...the fame and women follow

    the 426 just came thorugh my hands as a "free" bike...if I can, or can't start it, it gets sold or parted...then moving onto the next project...I'm just single and optimistic about how much time I have to work on bikes

    I like to dream...the next crazy/stupid idea is to do LA-Barstow to Vegas on the KDX200!

    What's the target price on the 426 out of curiosity?

    I expect the worst, hope for the best - ideally $1000-$1,200...but realistically $800?

    no thank you

    edit: 55/160 jets ordered for the XR650L + sprocket bolts for the yz...although taking the carb off the 650L seemed ridiculous - wtf are all those random hoses and cables for?? seemed very, very excessive

    Re: street legal 2-strokes

    There is a solid knack to kicking a 426 over. I got pretty good at starting them when I had mine. EXCEPT when it was HOT. Sometimes it was a bear. You do need the decomp lever, you also need to kick it through a few times to prime it and DO NOT give it gas. Get your hand OFF the throttle. I put mine on the cross bar on the handle bar.

    Re: street legal 2-strokes

    Ha, so different from the smoker game...no gas whatsoever

    I caved on a pair of forks for the 94's stripped out situation...seller is in the cali desert, and my friend and I want to ride Calico ghost town anyways...so I will pickup the forks from the shop, then go for a desert ride through the gold mines...

    Seriously...sort of wish you guys were out here to check this stuff out...sometime in your lifetime, make the trip and I will have a working bike for you

    wow...so I've carried an RM125 on a corolla, an RM125 in a minivan, an FZR600 in a minivan, and 3 dirtbikes in an F-150...

    and I thought that was a bit much...guess not!

    Re: street legal 2-strokes

    oh mannn oh mannn...

    Calico is currently a California Regional Park (formerly silver mining); with a "Ghost Town" restored to look like the wild west

    We skipped the ghost town and explored the off-roading behind it

    Main road - easy car/truck access



    then it becomes trails through the hills:





















    TRAILS for MILES





    And coolest part?

    You can go into the mines!!











    next time I need to bring a flashlight!

    found some cool spots to ride through



    it looked cooler from the beginning...it got worse



    and got worse...



    and stopped...F-that



    I only rode about 5-10% of the total area!!

    just 2 hours from Vegas!!! (Gino???)

    Re: street legal 2-strokes

    With the right bike, a trials tire and an auto clutch you could get up just about any of that.

    Re: street legal 2-strokes

    I did a bit of paddle walking

    to be honest, it wasn't bad...stand up, lean back, WOT blip to get the front wheel over, and the rear will roll over if you have enough momentum...sort of like a trials/endurocross technique

    I would've hated using a MX 125 2-stroke...the 250 bottom end really helped out...a 300exc or xc-w would've been even better!

    although I am dying to know how the '90 KDX would've done...but nowadays, I just decide that some things, I'd rather not go up it...

    The KDX would have loved that stuff. I'd rock it on my '87 KDX

    leave it at home...fly to CA and you can ride the '90...I'll take the '94 YZ250...we'll go smoke out the newer 4-strokes

    what else is a fantastic f'n bike?

    the 2003 Yamaha YZ450F!!!!





    seriously, fantastic bike



    just too much power for me to use in tight trails!

    and yes, I drove another 300 miles today and rode another day at Calico...

    yeah bro...I loooooooooooove ridin' dirt...

    why do you need a trail bike?

    we were both riding a stock MX bikes - '00 yz250 and an '03 yz450f...both stock suspension valving w' no engine porting/fly wheel weights

    I'm prob. going to hit up Ocotillo on the 16th and 17th if ya want to rip it back in your day and do some classic off-roading

    Re: street legal 2-strokes

    huh...so I called 1 mechanic and race tech suspension, and everyone recommends just replacing the fork bottom instead of putting in an heli-coil or threaded insert!

    oh well...fleabay forks are going on!

    They're assuming you can BUY the fork bottom still I bet. For my 92, no such luck. For your 2000, $250 new OEM.
