  • @jeffferguson899
    If you think its fast, wait until its actually running right.
  • @huskyluva2180
    This video is just straight up painful in every way

    I had a yz490 for a few years, strong bike. This guy hasn't figured out that a two stroke has to be cleaned out after warm up. That front wheel shouldn't touch the ground on asphalt.
  • If you put wd40 on the rotor the brake caliper will not grab on it the brake pads will slip smh

    Raced these in 1984. I’m getting a little older in the bones but my mind most certainly remembers the friggin power this machine made, after you sorted out the WTF carb setup from the factory. I kept waiting to hear this machine get on the pipe with this kid perched on top. He’d have felt something else hitting his leg......as he crapped all over himself. Really enjoyed competing with the mid 80’s Yamahas. They were capable of delivering doom to the rest of the bikes in the moto.

    As an old school 250 and 500 motocross racer, we used to say "it's loaded up," not bogging. The 250 and 500's back then vibrated a lot! Try shifting a little sooner to keep on the power band, you could here the power band fall off before each shift. Have fun with it! Awesome!

    next video is the front forks bent and broken arm. "I have not Idea why it didn't stop"
  • @rickjames4630
    Was the choke on the whole time?. Every big bore 2 stroke yall have runs like this n somethings not right.
  • @notchback93
    It’s bogging because your loading it up babying it around!!!! I know it’s a 490 and it’s sick fast but 2 strokes need to rev out
  • @blobmaster118
    after watching your videos for a while im starting to get annoyed at the way you ride these bikes
  • Why would you F'n put oil on the rotor? The rust would have worn off with use. Oil will glaze the pads.
  • @jditty8708
    Had RM 500 it was an absolute beast ...love these old dirt bikes
  • @michaelbiel7473
    That thing should be on one wheel abjust the carb don't ride it till it's running right
  • @jamesamsler2418
    U get it running right, ur next ride will b an ambulance!!!!
  • @outlawlilly
    Ridiculously sick bike man. When you get that thing running right the power bands going to be like turning on a rocket. Hold on dude.
  • @curtmartini66
    I have one of these in the 80's. My father hated it because it was so powerful. Kickstarting this thing could throw you over the handlebars. I LOVED this bike.
