Yamaha YFZ450R Top End Rebuild Part 2: Rebuild | Partzilla.com

Your 2009 Yamaha YFZ450R top end rebuild parts are here: http://bit.ly/yamaha-YFZ450R-top-end-...

The top end rebuild on our 2009 Yamaha YFZ450R continues here in part two of our three part series. In this video, we start with the top end torn down and now we’re building it back up. John will show you how to position the piston rings correctly and then connecting the piston.

Once the piston is in place, we’ll install a new cylinder. Our original part was worn, so a new cylinder seemed like the best option. Then, we’ll work up the motor and install the head. That will include setting the cam timing on our YFX450R and getting the chain tensioner in place. Finally, we’ll bolt on the valve cover and replace the spark plug.
