Caps, I am restoring a 250j and am having woes trying to find an original rear wheel, brake backing plate, torsion rod, axle spacers etc. can you help with photo's of what the original items should look like? I have found a rear hub which the owner claims is to fit a 250j but it has 3R4 01 cast into it which i believe is a YZ 250 G number (at least the 3R4 anyway) same with the backing plate. is there an axle spacer on the brake side or does the backing plate fit up against the chain adjuster? Also I need to know the axle diameter and internal drum dimension.  I'm not sure what wheel was fitted to the bike i bought, but it has a 17" rim and what appears to be a 4V4 (IT/YZ-1981) hub and some silver anodised brake plate (all corroded within an inch of thier lives) and axle spacers fashioned from pipe- a real bitsa. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. If your still keen on parting out your 250 I would be interested in the wheel and associated hardware.

the 250j as far as ive been told has its own hub im guessing this because when i ordered the rear spokes for it there was only one set avaliable and according to yamaha it fits that one year onlyif you want i can email you a list of parts i have and some prices just pm me your email

if the brake tourque arm is the same, i have one here from the 125j that i'm not using.
let me know if it will suit your needs and its yours for postage price

ok Vandy, I will check part number x reference to see.

[rocketfrog]

Vandy,
about the only part i see that would be compatable with the 125 and the 250 is the brake lever on the rear brake.

[evo550]

125's had a right side drive and 250's and 490's had a left side drive........I think.

ive got a torque arm here if ya need one and 250 j runs a 5x5 pre fix rear hub ive got a hub backing plate torque arm new shoes and a spoke set if your intrested also got a nos swing srm if your intrested

[rocketfrog]

Would you PM me with some prices please Caps.

[vandy010]

ok Rocket, so i guess we skip the torque arm, but of all things, i also have a 125j brake pedal.

[rocketfrog]

Not so much the pedal Vandy, the lever that attaches to the brake cam in the rear hub.

[vandy010]

Nup! i can't help with that. good luck with it champ, my brother had the 250j back in the day and it was an awesome bike.
cheers!

Yeah i too had a YZ250J, loved it great bike and had some success on it in C Grade. (but don't tell the yamaha fans i said that)

[rocketfrog]

Cheers Vandy, I had a 125J which was a bit of a pain to start as i recall, but it handled and jumped like a dream, I always wanted a 250J after that bike, and now I have one - I RULE. Are you still finding a home for the 125 you stripped? I guess I didn't get back to you about the steering, but as I was informed that the parts were not a straight up fit on my 250, I suppose that option wasn't suitable anyways, best the bits go to someone who can use em.
