Stick with a 5 litre, 253 pistons are getting  had to find. You'll  find that the 5 litre, well tuned and reasonable standard gets good economy unless you pedal hard.
Stick with the Rochester carby and don't  be suckered into the holley. They actually work much better than holleys as long as the throttle shafts are not worn. With a couple of simple mods to the carby you can get them work efficiently.
Also, get the 3.08 diff and the trimatic for cheap tranmission builds.
Good luck with it. That would be one cool ride!
I use to work on all types of Bedfords as a mechanic in the late 70s. The HQ conversion would be get.......

You'll need a press Scotty. If its the rubber bush there is a metal sleeve around the outside rubber bush.

good luck.

Tech Talk / Re: 1982 YZ80J clutch

« on: November 04, 2015, 02:41:17 PM »

A quick look at the different models shows the number of friction plates goes from 5 in 83 model to 7 in the 04 model. That would mean the basket would be deeper which might end up with a side cover clearance issue. The yamaha parts pictures show a different number of retaining rivets at the back of the primary gear 3 (83) to 6 (2004). That should not be a real problem.

Others have had similar issues and seem to have resolved with some luck.

So with a bit of fiddling and some luck the new basket could be made to fit.

Gearbox / clutch parts go backwards also into RT1-3 and DT1-3 from the MX250 model. Yamaha parts bin is usually pretty interchangeable per each year model or cases type.

Where abouts are you?

The parts listing says 1W1 so your looking for;

yz125 d,e,f
or
dt125 / 175 from1978 to about 1984

I may have a set of cases if your in Sydney.

Jono ships really quick. Ordered some IT bits from him before lunch one day and it was delivered by 8am the next morning.
Call him and he makes it a bit cheaper because of no fleebay fees.

He's got heaps of stuff

Wanted / Re: 82 IT465 Coil

« on: June 18, 2015, 04:10:05 PM »

Most good bike shops will have one. Or wreckers if you stuck, just make sure there is good metal to metal contact

Just make sure the coil has the metal loop around the outside like to one on the ebay picture. The coils with just the central laminated pin through the middle are sometime a different length between centers for the mounting holes.
