IT\YZ 490
« on: April 28, 2008, 08:16:32 pm »
Just got a 84 YZ490 motor. Thought i might put into YZ-H 81 frame.Will need to swap barrel to fit single down-tube. I think piston\barrel\pipe from IT\YZ465 and 82YZ490 will go on.Will 84 piston interchange with 82 YZ and IT490,was told pre 84 is different?? 490 heads,are they the same??Also will the off-set airbox (IT\YZ 83 on) fit somehow , so can use barrels with angled intake(83 on).Any ideas or sugestions would be cool. If my thinking is correct, any parts out there.

I have a 82 barrel and head perfect condition just rebored decked and skimmed, with new nos on 3 rd over piston did 4 laps too much power, no ping with bp100 gas --might sell.
