That's a sweet YZ 465 Olaf, you may just be our first Canadian member. You're certainly our first Olaf ;D. The only other Olaf I knew was a hulking big Norwegian whom I played Rugby with when I lived in California. One of the funniest blokes I ever met, truly a unique unit! But I digress, post your Can-Ams as well !

I found that 465 a few years ago, it only had about 20 trail riding hours on it and still sporting original tires. I put the stock plastic away and installed some aftermarket stuff. Have Race Tech emulators/stiffer springs as well as a  Race Tech G3s piggyback shock on the rear. The PFR pipe smoothed out the power with some jetting, it's fast. I can ride this bike at any of our "modern" tracks here, it works that well. The motor is untouched and nothing on the bike has been painted or touched up. Thanks for the warm welcome !

Not sure on the V-force reeds, just installed on the bike. In fact I have very little ride time
on the bike, just bought it late fall. Tore it all down and re-assembled, just finished it actually.
Your bike looks awesome!

all very nice bikes. I'm assuming you have one or two winter months to work on them?
