I Bought a $700 Yamaha TMAX with a Blown Engine Was It Really

I bought this 2004 Yamaha TMAX XP500 for just *€700* because the previous owner said the engine was knocking. After sitting for almost **3 years**, it was finally time to find out if I had made a huge mistake. Will it even start? Is the engine really blown, or is the problem something completely different? In this video, I unload the scooter, get it running for the first time, and investigate the mysterious knocking noise. The full engine teardown is coming in the next episode! 👍 If you enjoy motorcycle repairs and budget project builds, don't forget to *Like**, **Comment**, and **Subscribe* so you don't miss the next video! #YamahaTMAX #TMAX500 #MotorcycleRepair #EngineKnock #ProjectBike #WorkshopSM
