MXA TWO-STROKE SPOTLIGHT: BIG-BORE YAMAHA YZ295
Thursday, November 17, 2016 at 2:04PM TWO-STROKE SPOTLIGHT: BIG-BORE YAMAHA YZ295
From MXA website - www.motocrossactionmag.com
Art McDade and Buck Gerolamy teamed up to make a customized 2009 Yamaha YZ295. It seems that going big on the YZ250 is a popular choice. If you’re thinking about throwing a big-bore into your 250 two-stroke, I suggest purchasing a flywheel weight from Steahly Offroad. They have a plethora of options to help smooth the power and make the engine more tractable. Anyway, here’s Art and Buck’s science project. What’s cool is how they included website links. You, too, can build a red and white YZ295.
“Attached are pictures of a well used 2009 Yamaha YZ250 brought back to life as a YZ295. The engine uses an Eric Gorr low to mid 295 kit ($660) and runs on pump gas. The suspension was rebuilt with SKF products. We think this is the perfect two-stroke for Vet riders. It is lightweight with lots of power and excellent handling. Listed below are all of the suppliers we used.
