YZ490 1983

[Ji Gantor]

Hi all,
I lost a part from my bike at the Nationals and was hoping someone may be able to sell me one.
I need the retaining nut for my kick starter.

I would also like to retro fit the YZ490 1983 leading edge front brake to my YZ125 1981 if any body has the front brake assembly they would like to sell.

Thanks
Ji

nuts are readily available new for the 465/490,  , which brake plate do u want ? 490 has horizontal lug , 465 has 45deg   , i think the 15 might have 45deg ?

Hi IMS,
I rang Yamaha yesterday and they only have one of those nuts left in Japan and if I want it, it will cost $115.00.
I can get a standard nut from a bolt company but it will not be flanged nor nickelled.

I will check to see what angle is required today and let you know. Do you have a 465 brake assembly for sale ?

Thanks
Ji

The front brake assembly is at 45 degs so yes the 465 front brake is the go.

I don't mean to hijack Ji's thread, however I'm also after a DL edge front brake set up to suit the '81 YZ125H hub.
Guys, which other models apart form the 465 will suit so I know what to keep an eye out for?
If there are any others for sale after Ji gets his, please let me know.

Hi
I think I have a spare TLS plate. I get back to Bris. Tues. Could probably machine up a nut-for  beer? wont be  plated but can be blued and hardened.
Will look when I get back.

Hi Ji,
I have a YZ490 backing plate that I bought from the states for my YZ465 but it doesn't fit as it has the 45 degree angle. It doesn't have any brake arms or linkage rod. Any good to you? I'm still chasing the correct one for the 465 if you happen to come across one.

Hi Yamaico (Pete),
I am trying to get a backing plate with all the extras so thanks for your offer.

Hi Sa63,
Is the TLS plate you mention the brake backing plate?
If so I am interested please let me know when you get home.
The nut I can buy from a fastener company for 95 cents but it is not flanged nor coated. If no one has a genuine Yami one I will just buy one of these and save the problems.

They also have an ebay shop and their shipping is realistic.

not too sure if this is any godd and it will also need a little welding done on the cable lug.

Hi Vandy,
That is for a YZ490 I think.
Thanks for the heads up that would have been great value.

Thanks Paul,
I can not see the nut in that pile.
The nut is shiny nickle and has a flange like an attached washer.
It is also a half thickness nut.
