Yer,very stock looking arm and linkage , don't remember any OW's like that.Maybe he should show the frame #

I asked he said there are no frame numbers cause its a works frame 

Looks like a J model YZ to me

mmm..yes

Anyway, I'm off to the shed to grind all the frame numbers off my bikes, increasing their value tenfold

Didnt Stephen Gall put his works engine into a YZ250 frame in 1983?Thats the only way I could see how it could possibly be referenced as a works frame I guess?
But #8 was around in the scene in those days so I will default to his feedback.

Gally put his works engine in a YZ465 chassis in 1981, the same year he campained the works bike at some races.
That frame/swingarm pictured doesn't look much like a works one to me...

Agreed its obviously standard.I was trying to put a potential positive spin.
Hows the health John?

Not too bad thanks mate.. still hoping for a bit more improvement though.

It's a 250j frame, I just had a look at the frame i've got in the shed

Definitely a 250J frame and swingarm. I have one the same.
