Restoring a 98 and noticed the piston has hit the powervalve. Checked the powervalve and it seemed to have snapped the leverage part. I am now thinking that might explain the spring not functioning properly to limit the range thus hitting this piston, nasty stuff. Thanks for explaining and showing in detail 🎉

Man your the best for posting this vid, I doing a top end job for my friend and noticed the hole in the power vavle where you put your screw driver in to remove the powervavle assembly, I thought that he was missing the part and cut a screw driver to make a dowel and lock tighted my home made dowel Into the hole thinking that the piece with the groves piveted on it , I started the bike and it not running right at all , now I now what I got to do to make her run good again , great post 1996 yz250 will run great again tommorrow after some tinkering

thank you for the clear video. turns out my power valve someone left the tightening pin in for whatever reason and it broke off one of the ears on the fork. also my valve is actually broken in half and theres some shiny parts on the valve. piston is fine though and rings are intact so im a lucky man. i ordered new $200 valve and o rings and hopefully itll have power again. ive been fighting with this bike trying to figure out why it has no power. and this is probably why!

I'm pretty sure that the part(s) you say you cannot order as they are greyed out are available. Look on the cylinder / cyl head schematic rather than governor. The later bikes (96+) seem to be missing a cylinder head schematic so you might have to bring up a '95 or earlier to find this. The PV is largely the same from 89-98 with the exception of a few washers/rings. Yamaha part no 3JE1193701 for your home made spacer. Hope this helps, and please correct me if I am wrong

So if my power valve is leaking thick oil out of it, what part do you think it is? I heard something about the power valve shaft developing wear and not having a proper o-ring seal or something? Is that part hard to come by?

@Keith1212 8 жыл бұрын

+LCH_Entertainment It will leak a bit of oil on the side with out the linkage. It even has a bolt in the cover to drain the excess. The other side that has the linkage won't leak as much but a tiny bit under normal riding. The oil keeps the power valve lubed and working properly. Now if you have a ton of very thick oil or sludge in there it needs to be cleaned out as it will slow the power valves movement. If you haven't replaced the O rings on either side then I would do that while giving it a good clean to get rid of any thick oil or sludge. Then lube it back up with pre mix and put it back together. Thanks for watching!

@Keith1212 8 жыл бұрын

+Keith1212 Also you can order the O rings from places like partzilla, bike bandit, and rocky mountain atv websites. Just use there bike finder menu to put in your year make and model. Normally partzilla is the cheapest for OEM parts.

@flyingfencepost 8 жыл бұрын

+LCH_Entertainment On the side with the cover that says "Yamaha" on it, there is a cover inside that cover with a gasket beneath, so a gasket for the outside cover and one for the inside cover. That side has direct access to the exhaust and Im guessing acts at abit of an expansion chamber, hence the drain bolt. The side with the linkage will have a very small o-ring inside the linkage, with a larger o ring, and then an oil seal at the very end. If its leaking bad then replace all of those.

@jimarcher3711 2 жыл бұрын

Be careful of levering the link arm up like that, it takes the spring tension off the governor ramp, and can let the drive pin drop out. Looking at how far the valve arm is dropping down, the closed stop - part of the bush assembly on the left side - is getting worn, and this lets the valve rotate further down and contact the piston. You need to check this between top end inspections.
