PDI on New yy250t By whid (Read 697 times)

I so wish I had a garage and another source of transportation. I would start at the front and reconstruct every wire, connector, hose, lines vac and fuel, and I'm sure a lot of hinges, locks, .... You know, everything. LOL

But I have a finite amount of time to pull off just the nessesity work.

There seems to be a lot going on in there from pics ive seen posted and digging with my flashlight.

Which are the must do's?

I know all the fuel lines and vacuum cutting them shorter if conditions allow. I would like to just buy a roll of fuel and a roll of vacuum.
What are the chances they are consistent in size?
How about the radiator/water hoses? Even the hose connecting coolant reserve?
Then there are the venting hoses/lines i believe... Like from the airbox to the CVT at the clutch area?
Surely not the evap hose that collects the condensation that you drain with your maintenance..... Or the brake lines....
I do not want to skimp while she is naked... Just planning... You know what happens when you fail to plan.....

Would greatly appreciate all input.

Whid I have found all radiator hoses to be solid on all of my 250's and they are now 4 years old and still solid, take them off the list.

Replace all vacuum and fuel lines, vacuum = 1/4' fuel = 5/16" or even 3/8"

I would replace the rubber vent hose on the transmission to the airbox.

Go through the electrical connections and plugs and make sure they are tight and you can put some quality di-electric grease on them too.

One thing people forget is the tire valve stems, replace them for sure with quality stems better if they are 90 degree ones for easier access.

Excellent, I didn't know of di-electric grease.... I read on a thread somewhere of using wd-40 improved the continuity..... Boy.. Don't you just wish these came with 24k gold plated connectors like high quality audio offers.......... and thanks for the Stem suggestion... Never heard or seen that yet. I saw putting better tires.. but nothing on stems.. Thank You!
Kinda wondering also... can you change your motor oil too much during break in? It is so dang easy and cheap, I thought of doing it every 100-150 miles just to get through this 5 qt of 10-40. Also figured it would keep the engine free of metal shavings and fragments... Same question for the gear oil.. Can you change it TOO OFTEN?
