Prevent Oil Failure 80-83 Yamaha SR250 XT250 TT250 Roll Pin Mod

Thanks to a viewer comment, I became aware of this roll pin mod designed to prevent engine oil failure on all 1980-82 Yamaha SR250 / TT250 and 1980-83 XT250 models (thanks for the heads up, PizzaMan 5000!). It's not too difficult to do and it could save your older Yamaha's engine! Here are the parts used in the video:

This channel is for motorcycle riders, mechanics, and enthusiasts who enjoy the simple joys of motorcycling, from dual sport riding to fixing up old bikes on a budget. My videos also consider the perspective of short motorcycle riders (when it’s helpful and relevant) in choosing and modifying bikes and equipment.

I’ve been hooked on motorcycles since 1975 when, at the age of 11, my dad brought home a shiny new Suzuki TM75 for me and a Suzuki TC185 for himself so that we could trail ride together in the hills of West Virginia. Since then I’ve worked as a mechanic, owned countless bikes, and even worked in the motorcycle industry for a number of years as a photographer and journalist. Now I do mainly video production and enjoy nothing more than making and sharing these motorcycle videos on YouTube.

Thanks again for watching. Ride safe!
