Cam and sprocket condition

2008 CRF150R, let me know how this cam looks, main concern is that it does not spin freely in its housing and wondering if itll be good to run. The sprocket on the other hand looks overheated but its not warped. Bought this bike in peices so I dont know any previous history. Let me know what yall think!

2 stroke cylinder scoring

Scoring on 1993 rm250 cylinder. unsure if this is normal break in stuff or actually bad. Opened up was original scoring, passed fingernail test so I honed it out. And now I have the scoring shown in the camera. I had multiple heat cycles, rode it lightly, ran rich, used more oil, didn’t get hot, no air leaks (from what I know) and only got maybe an hour and a half on it. Pro X top end kit and wiseco needle bearing. definitely better than original 70psi compression, but I feel like it could be better maybe

Is my 2007 yz450f done

I took it up to 800oft ely and rode for 3.5 hours without the fuel/air screw (I didn't know it fell out). (My bike is white, my dads is blue)
I did a few full throttle pulls in that time, and since bringing it home I hear a very loud and distinct tick coming from the right side of the engine, and it gets louder as I rev. It didn't sound this bad before the WOT pulls. Here is my bike, and my dad's bike (2005 yz450f) for comparison. Do I need a rebuild? Did I fuck it?

Help with FE 450 fueling issue

At least I think it is—

Recently adjusted valves. Bike was running fine for a few rides after. Sat for a while in my shed. Replaced turn signals. They work as intended.

Afterwards took for a ride around my property— cuts out when I give it throttle. Idles fine.

Pulled everything apart again— double checked valve clearance and timing. All good. .13 intake /.17 exhaust.

No leaks in throttle body to engine or airbox.

Pulled fuel filter- no debris.

TPS was out of range- but reset it back to stock. Reset idle screw.

Reset jd tuner settings

Scanned— PO 201 injector open circuit.

Checked resistance of injector- 12 ohms (according to internet, this is good)

Checked continuity from injector plug to ecu— good. Checked from fuse to injector plug- good.

Checked body ground— tight.

Put it all back together— still bogs out with a snap of throttle. Bypassed jd tuner for stock ecu- no change. Idles at 1900-2100 rpm just fine. What gives?

Suzuki tsr 125 93' not revving past 6k and doesn't idle.

I have a Suzuki TSR 125 from 1993 that has 18,000 km and that I haven't been able to ride mostly because I wasn't with it but also because it's having problems.

As I said in the title it won't idle even though I completely clean the Jets of the carburetor.

I tried a different spark plug from my rieju mrt 50 sm from 2022 which has the same model spark plug but it still had the exact same problems.

It also won't rev past 6000 RPM and sounds horrible when I'm in neutral. Video attached of me trying to. Doesn't work in gear either.

Previously, I had a problem with the valve seat o-ring not sealing so it would flood and I was able to fix that and then this popped up which was hidden behind the fouling spark plugs.

Could be maybe the stator or the CDI I'm not sure exactly what could cause this.

Here is a link to someone driving the bike to know what it sounds like normally: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiLdA6IqFwE

And him reving it in neutral: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP8dM79xYWI

Also, i don't have a tool to measure compression, i have a multimeter, I have tools to change things myself which is what I want and will probably do.

Edit: the engine has a power valve that is supposed to open at 6k, if that has anything to do with it. Since the bike was flooding, I'm sure it's full of carbon as well, maybe the power valve is too.

what are the torque specs?

I know i sound like a dumbass because i already own and bought the bike and don't know but I bought a 2026 Honda CRF250R and cannot find a consistent number for the torque specs. I forgot to ask the dealership for the manual and I need to know the torque specs for the oil drain bolt and the oil filter cover bolts. asking AI always gives me a different number every single time and same with tons of forums I've been looking through. I just need consistent numbers for my bike to tighten those bolts to every time. Thank you!

First rebuild

I’m helping my 13 year old learn how to rebuild his rm250. We are planning to replace all bearing and seals and gaskets.

Are there any other seals that you would change or see missing? It’s a 2002 rm250.

Are there any tools that will help us , or anything that we should be extra careful on?

Has anyone had the yellow paint from their valve cover start stripping into their oil?

I don’t know why but for some reason husqvarna decided to paint the inside of their valve covers yellow, on my 2016 fe450 it has started stripping and getting caught in my oil screens. Should I use paint stripper to get rid of it?

My husqvarna 250 fe 2019 has trouble starting

Okey so one of the big things of this bike is starting. When the bike is cold it has no trouble starting, starts right away but as soon as it reaches the operating temperature it will start but i have to hold the button for like 6 seconds. But if i pull the throttle only a bit it starts in like 2 seconds not too much then it starts throubleshooting. Another big clue could be that if i turn it off and start it after like 2 seconds, i dont have to pull the throttle or anything it starts right away. But if i wait maybe a minute it starts poorly it turns over for maybe 6 seconds and in a race the 6 seconds is alot.
So i tried raising the idle kinda helped it but still turns over alot maybe the 6 seconds. I hope someone could help me its annoying and its draining the battery

Edit: forgot to mention sometimes when i start it hot it
Smokes for a bit but it doesnt have any colour

My bike had sat for a few weeks prior and now it won’t start even with new carb?

I will mention that I broke off my kickstart so I’ve been bumped starting it and I’ve never had an issue with doing that. So it had been sitting for a few weeks and during that time I would play with the throttle so I figured it was just flooded at first but it still wouldn’t start after weeks and weeks my brand new carb came I put that on as well as a new spark plug and it still won’t start please help.

Stripped Bolts: How would you remove?

2019 Yahmaha wr250r. Any advice? If I can get the skid plate bolt out I should be able to get the oil bolt off with vice grips.

The space is too at tight at the nut for my dremel or a wrench/socket.
