What does shimming mean? What is it used for and how do you do it? Where can i fint a video that teaches you how to do a top and bottom end rebuild? I am a nobbie. Also where can i find a website that I can learn maore about motocross bike and maintenance/ working on the bike. If there would be vid clips that would be great. Which is better an 07 KX250F or a 07 YZ250FI want something fast . And if neither then what is the best 07 mx bike?

Shimming valves? Then engine work like that is advanced mechanics. Shims are sometimes required to readjust valve clearance as the machine is driven over time. Rebuilding engines requires serious tools that you will not find at Sears. Take a mechanics interest course at your community college or at least buy a mechanics textbook before opening your engine. Manufacturers sell shop manuals to mechanics for each of their makes and models. Spend the $75. Its at the least worth the knowing what's beyond your experience.

first issues first, keep it sparkling, you`ll be in a position to troubleshoot issues a lot a lot less complicated, next get your self a hour meter, and keep on with the suggestions that the guide says, substitute oil like clockwork, keep your filter out sparkling, get some high quality chain lube(i love maxima, or belray) and keep it to proper stress(i placed the chain slack 3 fingers severe actual behind the swingarm chain slider) , purchase a adjustable gasoline screw to simplify the closed to area throttle lean or wealthy difficulty, and keep your valves in adjustment... there`s a initiate, p.s. purchase a guide in case you don`t have one, and browse it

both bikes are fast but i would buy the yz250f because they tend to have stronger bikes with less repairs and problems. the yz450f has a lot of power also it all depends how mcuh power you want. good luck with your choice

A video will only show you how to do something.
A shop manual will "tell" you how to do it and what you need to know (like specifications, what to check, direction parts are to be installed, etc).
