Upload all your IT pictures...

I got mine at a better price of $300.00!!!<br><br>NPNetPal... : ^)

hey..I just rode mine for the first time last
weekend up in the cascade mountains of washington
state...we had a blast !! I did jump some creeks
accidentally...I was riding up to a spot I thought was a teeny 2
foot dropoff, as I got closer it turned out to be more
like 4 feet or so..too close to stop so I just said
what the hell and gave it more gas..I made it out
intact, but a little wet...my kids were there yelling 'do
it again !!"...I got mine for a steal at $500...

For the first time, I rode my IT200N. This bike
is fast! I love it! I just need some carb
work.<br>I'm still not done restoring the bike though. I can't
wait till she's all done. <br><br>The GhostRider ... :

Has anybody out there tried racing an IT recently? I've been thinking about an
enduro with a class for older bikes.

alright all you enduro riders. i'm from new
jersey but work in ny and i'm looking for somoene to
hook up with just to enjoy some good miles with. if
you guys are interested send me a message
...NEWJERZMIKE@... i normally put about 140 on my bike a day going
to work alone and i love it but it nothing like
having a riding buddy so lets hook up....safe riding
bikers

We would love to see your rides, so upload your pictures...

It's nice to hear that others like to ride some
of the same bikes I do. I love my 490k and enjoy
riding with my son who has an IT175G. Both bikes are in
great shape and have been very reliable. Says quite
alot about how well these bikes were built.

So far I put on a new fuel tank, complete with New decals, cap & runoff. Some
minor cleaning on the bake as well...

I have an 87 XL600R I would sell/trade/work a
deal on... for a early 70's xs 650 yam..600 is in
unbelievabley great shape for the yr..knobbies r kinda
worn..besides that needs absolutely nothing.<br>previous owner
put new stator /chain/sprockets on it..23000 miles
but they r obviously easy miles..dont smoke or
leak..1500.00

I can't believe i found a club devoted to my
bike! I own a 1979 IT 400 in very good condition, which
i bought slightly used in 1980. It is a great bike,
and still has loads of power, will outrun a Honda XR
500 of same vintage.

I owned and '82 IT (International Trials) 250.
Just like the one in the pictures page.<br><br>It was
the first dirt bike I ever owned. It had way too much
power for my spodely skills when I first bought it.
However, after a couple of years, I was finally able to
ride it to it's potential. <br><br>When I was moving
from Houston to Chicago, in 1998, I sold it to a man
who lives near Cloudcroft, New Mexico. I believe he
is involved with the enduro they run up there. I
think he was going to use it as a work/play bike. If
anyone knows this gentleman or has seen the bike, let me
know.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH sram102!<br>I tried to make
the best site for the IT, & I think I did. I just put
up some pictures of the last model IT ever built,
the 86'IT200. These are the best pictures I found of
an excellent condition IT ever. Good luck on your
find as well.<br><br>NPNETPAL -EIS- FOUNDER & -CNYTR-

I'm enjoying your nice collection of IT pictures!
I was wondering when someone was going to start an
IT club up. Congrats!<br>Picked up two '78 175s a
couple of years ago that I'll be able to make at least
one working bike from. I bought them some twenty
miles apart and the serial numbers are only 32 numbers
apart! Ordered up some new plastic finally so this
project is going forward.<br>Looking at buying a scanner
soon so I'll be able to post past IT 200 project and
current one as well!

DIRTBIKES FOR CHEAP.

Thanks, but I did buy a service manual from
Yamaha, they had to reprint it. $38.00 bucks and I had to
wait for it. But I have it and they used the new 2000
binders, the old binders are not aviable anymore. Who
cares, the book came out great! I got the MSR boots in
black already, yellow sucks. I put the new tank on and
I painted the engine. Next is the handlebars. When
I'm done you'll see the after pictures...<br><br>The

Trust me, I've seen a lot worse looking bikes
than that. Daystar makes long 43 mm fork boots that
are a good sub for stock ones. Malcolm Smith
Motorsports has them CHEAP on the Net. Other places, sell
Daystar, too. Also, buy some Boyesen reeds - you won't
regret it. Sprockets, cables, brakes, etc. are still
available.<br><br>I have a shop manual for the 200 that I can make
you a copy of, and it's a good one. You can't order
them from Yamaha, as far as I know.

E-bay has several IT parts for sale including the plastic.  Check it out.

I was needing the plastic for a 1979 IT250, front rim, and a tail light. if
anyone has any let me know. thanks

...and I am looking forward to restoring it to my
tastes and having some fun riding this jewel. It is in
fairly good shape (rideable and average cosmetically) so
I won't have long to wait to ride. Photo's coming
soon.

When the bike is finished I will have the after pictures up...

I'm restoring an '84 IT 490K (Mechanical, not
cosmetic, really). Anybody got a copy of the IT 250/490
Owner/Service manual? Clymer doesn't quite get it. I'm using an
IT 200 book now anbd would trade it or buy outright.
I've gone through everything but internal motor.
Tires, chains, sprockets, brakes, fork seals, springs,
etc. Should have about $1100 in it total when
finished. (That's 1/6 of a WR 426!) I'll post pictures in a
week or two when it's done, and try to pass on some
lessons I've learned, if anyone's interested. I think I'm
gonna love this thing as much as my '82 430 WR Husky!

I bought a new IT 175 in the spring of 1979.Rgeat
bike with features not found on modern dirt bikes such
as an aluminun bash plate and a speedometer.I put
over 4,000 miles on that bike in one year and never
had to remove the transmision or had to replace
anything other than cables,brakes,tires,sprokets and the
ill fated rear brake lever.Almost all this riding was
done off road.I was a N.E.T.R.A. and AMA enduro rider
with high point trophies.After owning this legendary
machine I did not see any point for anyone to but
anything not made in Japan for off road trail use.The bike
ran all the time and handled perfectly in rocky bone
areas.It never broke down.I road for 15 more years after
that riding the KDX series due to the proximity of
daelers after the local Yamaha dealed retired.Rick O.
