Hey Paul,
This is my YZ490 K.
What a bike.
If only I could ride it like Bob Hannah.

Disc's were not standard were they?

Ji,
Gaythorne Yamaha, became Metro Yamaha, but remained in the same premises until the team moto conglomerate hit town, bought them out and moved to current location.

The only triple jumps he would have been doing are the hop, skip & jump.

They are really powerfull out of corners and land soft but you do need a bucket or a crate to start one.

Okay.
I just received a 465 front leading drum brake assembly.
It went straight onto the YZ125 H.
No modifications required.
And what braking power, fantastic.
Well worth the effort.

Thanks guys
