There are also aftermarket companies that list high output lighting coils for the WR500 which is the same as all the 490s and therefore should also work in...
I'm in TX so I have no idea what you need. The main thing I found is not to trust any inspector's word for what you need. Look up the rules for yourself....
Another thing you can do is get a higher wattage lighting coil. I did just that by replacing my WR500's stock lighting coil with one from Moose Racing. Part...
Ok, I'm the guy with the IT465 headlight issue. Haven't had the bike long, and am going through it.... Expect a lot of questions from me, hahahaha Anyhoo, the...
I'd get a new float needle and seat. And set the float level. Check the reeds to see that they are closing. You know,,, Sealing. And the pet cock guts may need...
I've heard of guys doing this. What happens if you supension bottoms out and the clearance is not there anymore cause of the larger dia back wheel. Why do you...
If the gas is turned off then the petcock is leaking. Rich running and hard starting could be a number of things. 1st are you sure the float level is correct? ...
You have a leaky petcock too? Last time I checked (it's been a while) they were still available and not too terribly expensive. It's a good idea to unhook...
I would do it if it were mine. It's only 1/2" difference in radius and the 17" tires generally had taller sidewalls so the overall clearance shouldn't change...
Personal preference. I don't like them myself but I haven't tried one long-term. I would like to try one that is normal on top and gripper just on the sides....
On two-strokes, hard to start can mean crank seals or other vacuum leaks. The leaking is a float valve which you canreplace for about 10 bucks. Don't give up...
Speaking of petcocks, my 1982 IT 175J has a disintegrated fuel intake tube/screen for the "normal run" petcock setting. This is the part inside of the tank...
Yamaha does not show that as a seperate part, but they may have a repair kit for about 14 bucks that comes with it and the 2 orings. I think you can swap your...

I bet all you guys just love it when a newbie like me joins.! Anyhoo, IT465....What oil ratio do you use for the 2stroke/gas? Guy I bought my bike from was...
I've used Yamalube R between 40:1 & 50:1 for the past 25 years in everything with no problems. YZs, ITs, weedeaters etc. I used various other oils before that...
I've been running Amsoil Interceptor at 40:1 and 50:1 with no problems whatsoever, except that I went one jet-size smaller on my low-speed idle jet, and one...

Ok, the 465, here's the story....When I bought it, it was running rough. Had no power, or power band whatsoever. Sluggish through all the revs. Top end was...
