A 1979 IT 175F. Bike is complete and does run. Rear shock is blown as far as I can tell. Gas tank has leak on the sides. I live in the San Diego area. $450.00...
This one is a little too much $$ and a little to far away for me..... but "low res" photo implies it's in good shape. I'm envious of whoever "scores" it! ...
In my last post of "it490" for sale (I don't know the owner), this bike is listed as an '85. I thought '83 & '84 were the only years of manufacture. Maybe Joel...
They only sold them in '83 and '84 in the US. I believe they were sold in other countries in '85 also or at least I have seen several advertised that way....
And even if the bike is jetted correctly, a bike with bad crank seals will suffer from a similar running condition. My 86 IT200 had that problem. Very poor...
I bought my 465 cheaply with broken crank cases, and many missing parts. I got the right case welded professionally and then I milled the clutch cover gasket...
Hi guys it's me again. I just picked up another IT today. It's a 1984 IT490. Payed all of $250.00 for it and it even runs :) It's really tired ,needing a ...
The YZ parts are totally different. The engine cases and a few of the internal tidbits are the same. The frame is totally different. Good luck on the side...
OK, out tourin' with the '82 IT175J this weekend and it starts having a real idling problem and then is pretty hard to start. Get it back up to the house and...
That's a good question. You will want to look carefully at the gasket surfaces while you have it apart. My IT490 did that one time after it sat for a few...
Something similar happened to my 465 just last week, but it looked like it actually got sucked in - nuts were tight. vew, vewy strange ... gasket ... after it...
Before you take it apart, do a compression test and see what the psi is. If you are getting too much blow-by past the rings, then your base gasket becomes a...
I'll have to disagree with you there. Two strokes are supposed to compress above and below the piston - that's how they get away with firing every time they...
Do not use 50:1 . Use a fully synthetic oil like Maxima K2 at 32:1 and jet accordingly . are you getting a blue smoke out of the exhaust ? Does it smell like...
... seals will ... need to ... clean in ... I think my bike needs crank seals too, how bad a job is it? Got to split the cases?? Anything tricky? Regards, ...
No you don't have to split the cases. You need a flywheel puller to install the ignition side seal and you have to take the clutch off to install the other...

i needed a carburetor joint for my IT490L. couldn't find one anywhere. as everyone knows cracked joints can be the kiss of death to a two stroke engine. i...
I found one at a bike shop on the net only to find that it was a poor quality reproduction made from a mold that was made from a rotted out joint. It was made...

Hey folks long time reader first time poster. I have an '80 IT 250. It is currently in pieces but I am starting the process of rebuilding it. I purchased a...
I bought one for my '79 and it's not even close (eBay) , but I got it cheap , so I'll find something for it . I think the '80 , using a DG , came with a...
