We are building a brand new YZ500 2 Stroke Dirt Bike! Join us for our latest big bore build project and find out how we managed to transform our regular old Yamaha YZ250 into a 500cc monster machine!
In this episode we head to the Hardcore Racing workshop where Roland Shaw will be on hand to help us create a two stroke MX bike like no other, We open up our BRC Racing YZM500 kit and get to work building the 2 Stroke of our dreams. This is going to be an epic series and and epic bike, so be sure to subscribe to never miss an episode and join the 2 Stroke family for weekly motocross videos here on 999lazer!
Check out Hardcore racing here: www.motocrossdirect.co.uk/
Check out the BRC products here: brcracing.ca/
A massive shout out goes to Roland for helping out so much with this project and to Riley and BRC for all their help so far. Also a massive thanks to everyone else that has made this project possible!

It’s so rare to see someone still interested in keeping the two strokes alive I know there is a kinda big two stroke community still but most people just buy and ride them they never got to even see a BIG BORE 500 2 stroke sadly most people have never even known about them bc where they were only made for short amount of time until super cross n motorcross mainly started focusing on 4 strokes all though 2 stroke motor cross is making a comeback with the gasgas line up of new two strokes and them being a huge part of the 2023 race season.

It’s great to see more companies getting on board with the 500 2 strokes. Maybe there’s hope that the manufacturers will PRODUCE new models so that we wouldn’t have to convert other bikes or buy 500’s with a new chassis and a 20+ year old engine design. Once you’ve ridden one, there’s no going back. It will change you forever.

@999lazer Жыл бұрын

Hi Nick, for sure if you've got any questions on the build just fire away and we'll be all too happy to help out where we can. Obviously I had to cut quite a lot of the process down for the sake of keeping the pace of the video high, but i did shoot every step of the build meticulously. So if enough people would like to see it we could do an extended workshop 'how to' guide. Thanks for watching! :-)

@nicksmithwestaustralianbee5139 7 ай бұрын

Ok, I need some input from you guys. I’m now looking for a donor bike to do my conversion . I have the dilemma of deciding between an alloy frame or going for a steel frame. I was told the steel frames may handle the inertia of the motor a little better leading to better handling, although I feel with the new technology with the counter Ballance shaft makes up for it. I just wonder what the longevity of the alloy frame will be like with the monster in it. Any thoughts from you guys would be appreciated

Very cool! I am wondering how much testing was done with the stock gearbox and clutch to handle the extra torque that comes from doubling the engine displacement. I would be a little concerned about reliability unless there was extensive testing done to prove that these key components will stand up.

"Zilla" is overused, starting in the 80's with the Suzuki "QuadZilla" 500cc quad. But it fits "YZ" pretty good. Everybody loves to see a 2-stroke in a race full of 4-strokes in MX, and we know they don't have a chance. How about a simple one that fits our mood for the love of 2-strokes, "Revenge!"?

Congratulations. You improved the 1988 works Yamaha YZM. No, they didn't stop making works bikes after the production rule of 1986, so "the cost" argument flies out of the window. :) It only costs us more, as bike prices tripled by 1991. Then the 4-stroke was forced on the industry, almost tripling the cost again. I say this kit is "Revenge"!! :)
