Guys, these YZ/F's are bullet proof! I keep my bike maintained like you guys do, but with one exception...I hit the rev limiter, and I hit it often! I have over 65 hours on the stock piston, rings and the valves havent moved since the break in adjust I did.

Its safe to say I got my time out of my piston, because im changing it and going to a 13.5:1 Compression piston, but I checked my valves yesterday when I pulled the motor, and guess what?! They haven't moved!

Yup! Last night I let a guy who rides a nice 06 YZ250 ride my bike, and I rode his... I asked if he wanted to trade and he said yup! So I should have a YZ250 here in a day or two.

hey im working on an 03 version of your bike and its not going back together as planned. i read your message and i came across the part that said if i dont take the towers off in a star pattern that they might warp, i didnt take them off in a star pattern so im thinking thats the problem i just want another opinion.

Great job, Pin_it.  Very well done with great photos.  I'm new to the 4-strokes and was a little intimidated to check the valves but once I saw your photos/verbage-easy. Thank you for taking the time to document this.  2-thumbs-up.
