I have an 81 IT 465 for sale. It has two hours on a brand new top end, new "DID o-ring"chain, new S12 tyres, heavy Bridgestone tubes, freshly packed silencer,...
EBAY ITEM N0 "2486644239" This is a 1985 Yamaha IT 490 DS. I purchased this machine to restore but it needed very little, so I tore it down to the frame for my...
<snip> ... <snip> This is the same one as what I have, and a picture of the battery box is on the ebay auction site for those that wanted a look at one. Mine...
Just thought I would give an update. I managed to clean the carb and get the bike running. For looking like it does, it sure does run good. I've managed to...
I know where a right side chain (83-84) IT 175 is located that is for sale. The bike is complete, but is a true basket case and is in many pieces. The engine...
I have an 83 IT175 and need a new chain, was wondering if anyone is running an o-ring chain. I have one on my WR250F with well over 1500 miles and only needed...
I know this was discussed in the early spring, but don't recall hearing anything since. If there is still any interest, let me know. We are members and ride at...
To be honest you hear different stories on o-ring chains, some say there is less friction using an o-ring chain, and if you read the manufactures advertising...
For some odd reason, my clutch was a real Muther to pull. It was BAD. I mean, it was the hardest clutch lever I have ever pulled. I did all sorts of stuff to...
good to hear its now working more reasonably pat - these are hard enough bikes to ride without stuff like that. the only adventures i've had with that...
I'll have to disagree with you there. If you buy a decent o-ring chain you really never have to do anything to it. I lube mine to keep them from rusting but...
Cost is not a concern, noticable loss of power to the wheel is. You can't even compare the two as far as maintanance and wear. My o-ring chain on my WR gets...
I don't think that there would be a "noticeable" loss of power at the rear wheel. The O-ring chain is somewhat heavier, but should not cause the power loss...
Hey man I just got a 1984 IT 200L from my neighbor...its in good condition and everything runs very well. i put a new chain, new kick starter, new rear brake...
Lots of people over the years have claimed that you lose power with an o-ring chain. That is theoretically true but only if you consider a perfect std chain....
That is a good point. Now... will an 0-ring chain fit on the IT175 without rubbing the case? Mike ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
I'm pretty sure mine has one. I know that sounds weird not to know but I have numerous bikes and I haven't replaced the chain on that one yet. It also makes...
I have one on my it175 and it doesn't rub the case. I have a 13t on the front. however it is rubbing on the teflon chain guard a little charlie ... From: Joel...
not really a post on o-ring chains, but a point worth considering. Keep an eye on the joiner link if your chain is fairly old, I recently had the unpleasant...
The closed end of the spring clip in the direction of rotation. With and o-ring chain the master link can wear on the sides more than a normal chain since it...
Ok, I've almost got it ready for the trail. one of the last things I need to do is either straighten the rear brake lever or get a new one. Since these have...
sup guys, well i received this bike for free and with a little bit of work, it runs perfectly, in great condition...everything seems to look good. I am just...
I had the engine rebuilt on my IT 175 J. New piston, reworked head, new crank seals and bearings, transmission bearings and seals as well. The bike is in...
Well, I pulled the back wheel yesterday to remove the swing arm for paint. When I pulled the brake housing off, the pads fell apart. And as luck would have it...
