Hi Dan, one more try in my search for the IT490's side panels and headlight-mask. Do you have some left or can you please tell me where you got yours from. ...
Roberts- I ordered the side panels through a Yamaha parts dealer. They were able to find side panels last year. They were $119 ea. The front light piece, I...
I have an 81 IT175 and everything went down hill kinda fast with it. First off it needs a new top end, but something is up in the bottom too. With the cylinder...
The gears have dogs on them that must be aligned for it to shift so it is normal for it not to shift in certain positions when the engine isn't running. Can...
Well I was out riding in the snow one night, and I'm pretty sure I fried my clutch. It smelled pretty bad so that's how I know it was clutch. I was riding and...
I have a 1980 it250 that bogs out in 1st gear and half way through 2nd before it cleans up and runs strong. Any ideas what the problem could be? Carb is clean...
Try to describe the 'bog' for us. Is it actually a flat area that acts like there isn't any fuel or is it not cleaning out like the choke is on? Is this at...
I didn't feel it click when I pushed the shifter. I see what you are saying though, I was thinking backwards I guess. I figured since it was worn it would be...
It would have to be really burned out to be that bad. You may have had the clutch plates actually come apart and get caught in the shift linkage. You should...
It acts like the choke is still on. I get quite a bit of smoke out the exhaust. I'd say it happens for 3/4 to full throttle. Once it cleans out(about half way...
Have you checked the float level? That's where you need to start. If it runs good at full throttle once it's cleaned out then the main jet is fine. What size...
Ok is it bogging or , is it not cleaning out at first ? If it's not cleaning out , due to hotter weather , it will tend to run richer , especially in the lows...
The hotter weather will make it run richer , thus , not cleaning out at lower RPMs . Raise the clip on your needle one notch . If that doesn't do it , you may...
Once the bike is warm it idles pretty good with little smoke. I'm just running a mineral based oil at about 24:1. Once I get on the throttle it starts to...
According to the picture in the VM manual the measurement is with no gasket. I'll agree that if it starts and idles ok then the pilot is right. It will smoke...
raise the clip on the needle one notch . set the air screw at 1 1/2 - 2 turns out . use a fully synthetic oil at 32:1 ( such as Maxima K2 ) . Warm the bike up...

My son did - and also ordered a new Mik from Sudco. The Sudco rep asked if he had a stock pipe - he said "No I just bought a new DG pipe and silencer" Sudco...
Hey Guys (and Gals) .... Well .. here goes. I have a 1985 IT 200-N that I am going to be parting with (NOT parting out). I bought the bike used in summer 2004,...
Hello members, I recently purchased an IT465, and upon my first ride, I realized this was a great bike! Well, at least in one way or another! The first thing...

Some times the drums become polished or glazed. Take some emory cloth and break the glaze. As for the front brakes with the extra linkage ( can't remember the ...
Welcome to the awesome world of the IT465. Out of the hole till about 60mph, I think my IT465 can take my brothers XR650R. After that, he’s gone! Trey,...
Those are double leading shoe brakes and they work great if everything is right. Another trick is to apply the brake when you tighten the axle to make sure it...
Lots of things make a difference on drums. If all the parts are in good shape - drum, cam, bushing, shoes and cable - then you have an issue with the shoe...
In my experience, rotors can get oiled up and then don't work untill you get them totally clean. Although dousing them with brake cleaner can help, many times...
