Just got this lovely low hour bike in a PX deal.
Has anyone got an original boost bottle for sale?

On a Sunday? Fek off...

Not sure, I have nothing to compare, only memories.
All I know is, I haven't seen one as standard as this for a long, long time.
I remember staring through the window at Peter Brennans in Manchester when I must have been about 13 years old and drooling over the Yamaha's 8)
Although I've had a couple over the years, none have been as standard as this one :o

are these the yellow's that went too the Yankie market ?..very impressive & they go well :P

That looks pretty complete and genuine. Amazing it doesn't have the boost bottle ??? It was the first thing I took off my H when I got it. Maybe they do something (the b/bottle) but they seem to go just as well without 'em.
I put a G tank on mine as well as the G swingarm and I'm just waiting on Walter to get this new shock done.
Bloody fast bikes..... ;)

Yes, although I prefer them in white.

I'm doubtful I'd notice any deference (boost bottle), bit of a numb lump. But it's the only part missing from the otherwise standard bike.
Why a G swingarm? I understand the tank swap, the G is a little smaller. Would a IT175 swing arm fit? I've noticed they're straight.
-
post script...
I like your avatar ;D
-
Didn't the H model have the twin leading shoe front??
-
Thought that was just the 465 ???
-
250 h had (has) a single leading shoe although most ones you see racing have the twin. Mine has a twin which I haven't used yet, however the single seemed ok.
I put the g swingarm on as it's a little shorter than the h and will turn on a dime.
As for the avatar, well.......

Has anyone got an original boost bottle for sale?
Nice pick up dude. As far as boost bottle goes they come up on Ebay now and then. Have you tried the usual NOS suppliers ?
Have you got the manifold with the boost tube port ?? You'll need the tube and the spring that goes over it to protect it from melting on the head.
The tank should have a rebate with two ferrules for the mounting screws if its an H tank.
Bike in transit at the moment, so I can't even take a photo for you :-\

Nope, the IT's had a right side drive.

Not to worry, I'll keep my eyes peeled on Evilbay.
I'll take some better images later in the week.

Thanks for the info.

The boost bottle bracket which is attached to the under side of the fuel tank looks like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1982-YAMAHA-IT250-250-J-BOOST-BOTTLE-MOUNT-465-YZ-/280693439888?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item415aa1fd90
I may have to make my own boost bottle, don't want to buy the wrong one.
-
Yep, that's the bracket. Could do with a tidy up :o
Speed and Sport have 8 NOS ones in stock - Only problem is they are $68.50 :o :o :o
-
:o I'll make one ::)
-
No worries. I have an old banged up one that I could measure the volume of, but won't have access to it until mid Jan. The volume is the only critical element from what I can work out. Different volumes for different capacities.
-
be novel and put a coke bottle on it i bet no one else will have one :D :D :D
you guys fair dinkum need to think outa the square
-
What about an empty Nitrous oxide bottle - that would make people look twice ;D ;D
-
I think I'd be forkin' over the $68.50..... :-[
-
hmm , not a regular forum member , are you ? :D
:D :D
-
I'm likin' the Coke bottle idea ;D the volume might not be correct though.
I'll knock up a trick looking aluminium one. Once I find the volume that is. It'll go with the opaque side panels I've just ordered 8)

We like it hard here Mont :)

although there is a little one , the upgrade for a classic roast dinner through the drive through at red rooster i think its around 375/385ml you would be overdoing it with the 600ml, but it might be alright for desert racing :o
ahhhhh remember the go ol days sunday arvo driving home from the races in the ute with the bikes on the back nursing bruises and bumps , a bottle of coke and a coupla no doze or sinutabs , what driver reviver, another bottle of coke and maybe some chicken legs yeeeeahhh

The description there is a little confusing ::) ;D
If it's for the 490 it will be the larger size which aint right. Hard to tell by the picture as they are both the same shape from memory :-\
Should look like this. I think the ebay one looks more like the 490.

Nice, only spoilt by the butt ugly decals. I'd rather change them every week than run perforated thick stuff decals ???
-
I think I may have the right one,strap is a little perished but still ok ,even got a new aftermarket sticker that I didn't use .PM me if you want
-
I have just the Boost bottle, no strap or hose. If you do no good with others PM me.
-
Thanks guys :)

Nice... does it have the G model tank which is a bit smaller?
The yellow US YZ250H model came standard with a 'G size' tank. It was the white Euro model that came with the larger tank! Also the first of the twin leading 'famous' Yamaha twin leading front brake plate, came on the 1980 YZ465G. The 1982 YZ250J was the first 250cc to come with it stock.

Good info Ando :)
-
So sorrry to hijack this thread but i was wondering if someone could help me
out on locating a conrod kit for a
Yamaha YZ250G ?? Been told you can retro fit a mid 80s suzuki RM250 rod kit
to the crank.... :o
Any info would be much appreciated.
Cheers Andrew

-

down parts for all my bikes ;D
-

Yep, the one in the pic is wrong alright :D But Id like to know where he bought that sticker from, it's quality with a capital Q!!
-
Hi there,i got these tank decals from VMX unlimited,perforated thick stuff i know Crankpin but it was my best option,plus the bike is a rider,not garage queen.

Ando which one is wrong mine or the other bike :'(

I was talking about the tank sticker in the tread above, the bike with the red seat & the sticker around the wrong way! It has a good sticker without the perforations! Just wondering where he got those?
-
I have those in stock.
They don't stay on like the perforated ones though (which I can also supply). But still last longer than the originals.
-
Ando , I got the stickers from Dan at Motographics in Sydney . thats all he does bike stickers , contacts are in the back of VMX . the red seat came with the bike .Bugger now I have to get another set and put them on the right way around .
-
Thanks for the tip :)

I noted the comment there about lasting longer than the orginals - mine are the orginals and have not come off...they are wearing tho'......they seem to have some sort of fine aluminium foil backing????
see it at this link http://ausvmx.ning.com/photo/2010-12-yamaha-yz250h-1981for-2/prev?context=user (http://ausvmx.ning.com/photo/2010-12-yamaha-yz250h-1981for-2/prev?context=user)

Yes Mark, they all had the foil backing from new!
