XR400 Frank Raines Beginner Rider
I take my 2000 Honda XR400 to Frank Raines OHV Park. I'm still a beginner off-road rider that still has a lot to learn about riding over rocks, going up hills, & riding ruts, etc. I did not see a lot of signage regarding trails, but that's only an issue for a beginner like myself. It was a tough day, but I think I learned quite a bit trying different trails.

KX450F Fork Rebuild
Переглядів 676 місяців тому
In this video I rebuild the air forks on my 2014 KX450F with fresh 5w fork oil. The rebuild process wasn't too bad at all, the hardest part was figuring out the seal orientation. I didn't make note in the video, but I wrapped electrical tape around the lower fork to avoid damaging the seal. Also, sure you have to the correct tools to make it much easier. This is not a "how to" but just a video ...
Carnegie SRVA - Practice Track - KX450F (Beginner)
Переглядів 3,1 тис.8 місяців тому
This was actually taken a year ago, but finally came around to posting. I take my 2014 KX450F to the practice track at Carnegie SRVA (OHV Area). I just got my bike earlier in the year so I'm still a beginner. I'm still getting comfortable with jumps & turning the bike. The practice track at Carnegie is a great place to learn even though it's mostly dry & hard packed. The bike was having some is...
XR400 Exploring Knoxville OHV Trails
Переглядів 43411 місяців тому
This is second part of the last video where I took my 2000 Honda XR400R to Knoxville OHV. I'm still learning to trail ride the bike, but it was a pretty good learning experience at the end of the day. The trails were rocky, but not too steep with not too many switchbacks which suited my skill level. A couple of times I felt the front end slide out, but the better setup(adjusted fork height & ne...
XR400 Knoxville OHV ("Rocksville")
Переглядів 301Рік тому
This footage was taken back in January 2023. In this video I take my Honda XR400 out to Knoxville OHV. Other riding areas were closed due to the record rainfall, but it was clear skies that weekend. It was the first time I really got to test the forks after changing out the springs and having fresh oil in them. Although the trails weren't as tough(it's pretty rocky, but hill climbs are not as s...
2000 XR400 Fork Rebuild
Переглядів 1,8 тис.Рік тому
I keep falling on the XR400R, especially over rocky areas. I know a lot is due to not having a lot of experience, but I'm pretty sure it's setup related as well. Before this video, I have lowered the forks(previous owner had them really high) and lowered the front sprocket a couple of teeth. Both of these have increased my wheel base which has given me more stability, but there is still an unea...
Trail Riding XR400 Gone Wrong
Переглядів 318Рік тому
I injured my ankle last week at the MX track landing on a jump on the KX450F so I decide to take my XR400 on some trail riding. It turns out that I don't have the best time, and I have a lot of skills to learn and suspension set up to do. Video is from November 2022.
Carnegie SRVA Trail Riding - KX450F

This is the first time taking my KX450F trail riding at a local state park. I didn't realize trail riding could be so challenging but still fun at the same time. Also came across a learner's hill climb that was really fun. I didn't make it to the track they have there since I came late but will check it out next time.

I've practiced on easy dirt trails for a while now, but this was my first time gong to the track and hitting good jumps with my 2014 KX450F. The Vet Track at Lake Elsinore is super fun, but I am still learning so I was constantly being passed . I also almost went down a few times It's all fun though! Music: Life is Beautiful - Panda Beats

First Rides on the XR400R
Переглядів 362Рік тому
These are clips from the first few rides on my 2000 Honda XR400R. It's my first time on a full-size dirtbike(I used to ride pitbikes a while back). I am still pretty slow, but I am getting the hang of it each time I take it out. The rear tire needs to be replaced, but it didn't matter for the speeds I was going and the dirt i was riding.
Honda Xr400r Carburetor Clean
Переглядів 2,7 тис.Рік тому
After taking a trip to the dunes and renting ATV's, I decided to get back into off-roading with a full size motorcycle instead of pit bikes. Since I don't have a trailer I looked into getting a plated bike. Luckily I found this 2000 Honda Xr400r local online that was in relatively good condition. It wasn't running well, so I knew it was probably a clogged carburetor, which is what I went to fix...
Yamaha XSR900 Valve Adjustment

I past 26,000 miles on my 2017 Yamaha XSR900 and decided to do a valve adjustment. I knew it was a big job, but luckily with time and multiple trips to the shop, I was able to get it done. I also went ahead and changed out the air filter and coolant as well. Overall it was a little tricky to do as I explained near the end, but with the understanding of engine timing and picture references, I ha...

Do you just fill your coolant to the top? And do you have to fill both or just the one?
Can you tell me how much fork fluid you put in each chamber?? Also, do you put air back in the fork when complete putting the seals and fluid in?
My regulator is not making enough power to power my light bar why it’s only reading 2v on the multi meter
Wait I thought the x7 was a 110cc
I think there were two versions: 110cc 4 stroke & 49cc 2 stroke
Brother how much air pressure fork
These are just the stock fork and I did not need to add extra air pressure.
How did you get the cables off?
It's been a while since, but if you're talking about the throttle cables, you just need enough play in the cable to slide out the barrels on the end. I may have messed with the throttle tube to allow more play.
What do you do if your stator only has 3 wires? No white and yellow wires....
That means you'll need to switch out the stator if you want to power Aux components. That stator will only run the engine.
5 beers later
Haha those were from another time, but bikes & beer always go together 🍻
What voltage did you get???
MIght be getting one of these to ride while I'm in Japan. Wasn't sure what it would be like, but watching this just reminded me of the fun I had on my Sportster before I had to sell it. If all goes to plan, I'm gonna be very happy in Japan. 😊
It's a pretty good handling bike and sounds awesome!
Cool
Just going to check my FJ09 clearances so thanks for putting this up. Did you follow the detailed sequential procedure for loosening/tightening the cam cap bolts? Can I assume that the middle cylinder valves are partially opened when the crankshaft is set to the < position? Good vid, thanks again
Yea I did, and I believe the cam caps are stamped with the order of the tightening sequence. And yes, there is some pressure on the valves when putting everything back together when lined up. That's why I needed to use a zip tie to hold the cam chain in place.
best pitbike wiring video on UA-cam. I'm sure you got criticism about upgrading your connectors. but the simplest straight forward video. Thank you for your work and sharing.
Speak up can hear everything but you
Awesome video!👍🤙
Db killer?
Learn to use the power to get you out of trouble.
Yea, still figuring a lot of things out haha. By the time I figure to give more power, I stall it.
Really appreciate this, I'm new to it as well, helpful seeing these washouts, can definitely relate to a few. My fave ua-cam.com/users/clipUgkx8aGafsSxhvgUA3H4tQ8h2vDDjkZiZPkv?si=3woqJGgK4qkgGynK
It took me a few years to learn all the trails here. It's the most technical riding area in lake county. If you like extremely gnarly single track and hard enduro this place is awesome.. downside is that it's relatively small and you have to know where you're going. There's no signs or trail maps.. it's a locals gem..
I definitely need to go back to do more exploring
@@IsaacPel I was there a few days ago to do the red elephant mine trail. It's has a few really technical downhill rutted out sections and some awesome single track. Let me know next time you go.
@scarab9762 sounds good! I actually haven't been back since this was taken, the road I have to drive is pretty rough to get there
How many Quarts did you use and how do you know your at proper level using sight glass
I use 1 quart, just pour the whole thing. It'll cover the whole sight glass at 1st, but after a while, oil will settle just below the top. Typically you want around 3/4th of sight glass covered. Also remember to drain from both bolts.
My KXF started making a weird noise at the end of the oil change. Is it normal, it looked like piston slap or something
OK ****ANYONE WHO IS STRUGGLING WITH THE WIRIING ON A CHINESE QUAD DIRT BIKE SCOOTER GY6 ETC.....LOOK NO MORE....WATCH THIS VIDEO. NO ONE EXPLAINS THE WIRING BETTER THAN THIS YOUNGSTER!

THANKS BRO,I REALLY MEAN IT, EXCELLENT VIDEO, WELL EXPLAINED IN SIMPLE TERMS...YOU CAN UNDERSTAND EVERY WORD CLEARLY, AND YIU ONLY TALK ABOUT WHAT IS AT HAND....NOT LIKE THESE OTHER MORONS TALKING ABOUT THE WEATHER OR WHAT HE HAS.BEEN DOING. THIS IS #1 GY6 EXPLAINED VIDEO IVE EVER WATCH. DO MORE VIDEOS BRO , I SUBSCRIBED TO YA. PEACE.!😅
Nice riding
keep it up bro
No need to be riding around like an ahole oh wait you must be 16 years old never mind.
U could have used a rear brake master cylinder from a atv with the switch built into the Master cylinder
What filter was that under the seat & is that an air filter or oil filter in front of the oil cover
Directly under the seat is the airfilter
curious so if you are not connecting the red to the starter solenoid the battery isnt charging. Why wouldn't you want to ren another red wire there to charge the battery as well?
Well there's a job I'll be leaving to the shop.
It's a big job for sure that can go south quickly haha, I was looking at a shop too, but prices scared me more lol
I don't trust anyone to do anything complex these days. I'll be doing this myself this year.
Do they allow shooting there?
Haven't come across anyone shooting and I think I read it's not allowed there, but best to call a field office.
@@IsaacPel thanks
what size diameter valve shim did you use, i think i need to buy the 7.49 mm shims but not totally sure
Hi at idle are you getting a full 12v dc out of the red at the rectifier ?
Резина-говно. На родном бриджстоуне прошел 20000 киллометров
Hi does that red out make constant 12v dc ?
Are there easier/smoother sections than this in Knoxville or is this about the average trail?
I see the main trail you’re on at about 2:45, is that pretty smooth throughout?
Yea the main jeep trail gets a little rough at some points but it's mainly pretty smooth and wide. You will come across 4x4s though. I mainly showed some side trails that were scattered throughout. They can be rough since I think they are not maintained at all, but they should be easy for int/adv riders. I came from the south and the road there is very rough. You will have to go slow and make sure your bike is strapped good if you are hauling.
Благодарю за видео!
Awesome vlog
I just did - to + and + to - and was all good. I blew 2 fueses but all good now.
Haha it happens, but good to hear it worked out
When putting the timing chain on, you indicated that the front is exhaust, and rear is intake. My understanding based of service manual, is that it's the opposite?
I am regretting the purchase of my XSR more and more each day. This video was disheartening. Not only is riding it a handful but now I can see the maintenance dollars adding up IF you can find a competent mechanic. Even here in Los Angeles good wrenches are few and far between.The XSR is like a Harley, it would be an awesome second bike in your garage.
I was in the same boat as you when I saw the miles getting up there(it does take time or lots of riding luckily). Just doing other maintenance like spark plugs and watching videos got me confidence to do it myself. Had to invest in tools though. And all these bikes with high reving engines have similar layouts and maintenance schedules. But yea, if wanting to get a mechanic, best to find a reputable shop, but usually that means having to spend some money.
How hard is yours to start out on the trail? Mine doesn’t want to start when hot
Mine starts easier when warmed up. I have a hard time after a tip over, and the carb gets flooded. If I can, I usually ride down a hill and pop the clutch. I always had a hard time starting when cold when I first got it. After I adjusted the valves and kicked it just past top dead center, I can start it pretty quick.
All 3 of my stator wires going to my rectifier are white 2003 r6 any help please ????
Mostly good video, just know this is for a magneto set up, not a stator.
Try adjusting tire pressure. 15 front 15 rear PSI for better traction. Also try stand more and put weight on the front wheel. Keep power on and trust the bike. Practice practice practice
Dude thank you!!!
Mád max😁
good coverage. you do not need to remove the radiator. remove the fan and put a cardboard over the inside portion of the radiator and lean it against the front wheel. just disconnect the one hose that is on the right side of radiator. you will loose like half oz of fluid.
Thats one way for a quicker valve adjustment, but I bought fresh coolant.
@@IsaacPel also why bang your head against the wall with the stupid allen key bolts that holds the chain tensioner. replace them with regular m6x1.0 thread pitch bolts(10.9 grade). will make reassembly that much quicker.
@Justin Towers I like the OEM bolts on the bike, they are strong, don't rust, and my tools are fine at grabbing them. Might have issues fitting a socket or a 12 pt wrench if switching to a bolt.
@@IsaacPel use an offset 10mm ratcheting wrench. the company made by mountain or harbor frieght brand has them. huge life saver.
Thanks for this video. I have connected my yellow/white to the regulators yellow and white. But the rectified voltage is close to zero and the stator voltage is reading like 7 volt. Do you have any idea what is wrong
I think you should use the clutch a lot more, when going up a hill for example your are practically in no control of the bike, if you keep the throttle steady and work with the clutch youll be able to control the bike going up easier
I'm thinking about getting one of these as my first bike. Is it a bad idea?
My 1st street bike was a 1985 Honda Magna 500cc, and I thought it was a great 1st bike and handled the freeway pretty well. Didn't look the best, but everything worked on it. The Virago is pretty similar but only thing that's sucks is the starter. As long as you have a good battery and connections you should be fine.
