2005 YFZ 450

[J-Madd]

For Sale: 2005 blue YFZ that I purchased new and have title. It has WR crank, ported, and 13:1 piston, blue Alba nerf bars. Everything else is basically stock. It comes with 1 (maybe 2) extra heads and a set of hot cams and an extra set of stock cams, and a box of miscellaneous bottom end engine parts.

 

The reason I am selling this is because there MAY be a circlip in the bottom of the engine and I'm fed up with wrenching on these damn 4-strokes. I sent it to a shop to have completely new gaskets and seals installed to fix an oil leak and rebuild it and after 10 or so hours of riding time it started knocking. When I took it apart I found the wrist pin rubbing the cylinder wall. I ran a magnet through the bottom the best I could and didn't find any evidence of the circlip which leads me to believe that maybe it wasn't even installed.........and it still leaks oil.

 

I could sell this to an unknowing person and it may tear apart on him down the road, but I will no do that. I am listing all of the problems with the motor so a person can decide if they are willing to tear it apart and fix the oil leaks and double check for the circlip.
