Don't we know someone that lives in Wanganui  ;)
Looking for YZ250C parts NOS if possible

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

All my YZ's are yellow Tony, but yes you are right in what you say. The YZ250J is an import.

Ah, very cool!
I remember thinking in 1981 how cool it would be to swap my YZ125H plastics with someone in the U.S.
I would get an American bike and he would get a "Euro" version.
Never did it of course................  :-\

Correct Tony.  NZ plastic tanked YZ's were/are all white (exception was only X,B,A)

We had a few '77 D models that were yellow and there is one of course the 50th anniversary model in yellow too.  ;) ;D

I'm running short of cash at the moment and i really want my 250J goin so i rifled through my boxes and picked out all the really good bits to rebuild a good engine when i get some spare cash and i slapped a engine together with no new bits at all ,i've even recycled a beat up powervalve and piston .I was gonna take photo's of it but i'm a bit embarrased at what i put in it hopefully have it running on the weekend and then i will post some more pics .

Hilly, I've still got some of your bits: Swing-arm, top triple clamp, and that sort of stuff - nothing ground breaking. And you're welcome to the seat and tank too, 'cause they don't fit the IT-J.

Let me know if you want anything posted down, or you can pick-up on your way to CD5.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

Yeah and make sure you tell Hilly that the big empty thing between his arse and the radiator needs bang-water in it to make it go noisy.......
