Having problems adding pictures any ideas lads

Ya man got lucky when the bottom end locked up usually these 4t take a shit and push the valves in to the piston and mangle the head…..very lucky

Gotta be oil starvation mate I know a lot of people that have these 4t mx bikes service them but forget to change the oil filter it’s self could be clogged stopping or slowing oil circulation

How many hours had this engine done what’s the cause of the bottom end locking up?

Can’t beat a set of vapour blasted cases when assembling an engine just makes the process so much nicer and more enjoyable. Looks good mc I made my own vapour blaster as I didn’t fancy paying about 7k for one I used a eBay special 220l sandblast cabinet and a submersible pump in a plasterers bucket probably cost me about £500 all in to build it and can get the same results as a professional built one. Gunner be starting to put my yz project back together this weekend as I’m due to collect the frame back from the powder coaters on Friday night the Yamaha blue frame colour is a pig to match in

Fair play wilf love little projects like this gives a good sense of achievement once finished looking forward to seeing the progress. If I was ever a single man again id not have a conventional home it’s a con job with rents or mortgage prices I’d probably live on the roads or buy a boat. I see a lot of young couples were there relationships have gone south it all stems back to lack of money due to having all there money tied up in paying mortgages or over priced rents that they can’t do anything bar sit in there 4 walls

I had a AR 50 same thing pull the clutch stand up cool design but by far the slowest bike I’ve ever had restricted to 35mph could of run faster lol nice looking bike I swapped it for a dt 50 far better bike

worth a bit of cash now mate

I’d love a bigger engine bike but I’d think a sport bike id kill my self plus there not really my cuppa t I like the idea of if I get bored I could just go off road I’ve gotta do my bike test at some point I like the 2 stroke stuff I like the ktm 300 and the beta 300 rr but like restoring bikes if I did have a sport type bike I’d definitely want a 80s bike like a rd350 lc my old man had one when I was a kid my mum made him sell it he still says worst thing he ever did I do fancy restoring one but there pretty strong money

Just lit my burner first one of the season starting to get a bit nippy

Definitely turning mate little cooler in the mornings soon be time to get the burner going I like the autumn I love the smell of decaying leafs that sweet smell while walking through wood land

Smart looking dog that pal all the best

Cheers mate oem frame colour was Matt silver it looks pretty boring when a lot of the parts on these bikes are aluminium and silver in colour there’s no brake up of colour to distinguish the difference in parts that make up the bike I went with gloss gun metal grey
