Hello everybody. I am currently restoring an 82 IT465 and it is going well. I was wondering if the 83 IT490 front wheel would fit my 82 IT465. Has anybody...
The sun peaked out for a moment in Oregon and I ran for the IT465 parked in the shop. Put in fresh gas, turned on the petcock, layed the bike over a little to...
did u try a push start maybe u just flooded it kenrf48 <fletchek@...> wrote: The sun peaked out for a moment in Oregon and I ran for the IT465 parked in...
No, I didn't do a push start. I guess I should give that a try. The plug was wet when I pulled it out so it sure could be flooded. Also, what is the reason...
I would not blame you if you were to tow it behind an ATV and try to bump start it, but before you kick it again I would check the ohm readings on the low...
I know for a fact the petcock leaks. and, it sat for 2.5 months since the last ride. It could have leaked into the crankcase. How do I drain it, or see if it...
There may be a drain screw or plug at the bottom of the cases, If not, you could kick it with the spark plug out until no more fuel spray blasts out the hole. ...
Well now, knowing that, your exhaust pipe could be full as well. 1) take the pipe off and see if there is fuel in it. 2) if it has fuel in it your crankcase is...
Sounds like I need to do some checking for an engine and a pipe full of gas. Hmm, 4 hrs huh! I could ride before sundown. I actually saw blue sky today. I...
Yes , check the fuel in the crankcase via leaking petcock . If that is ok , pull the carb and really clean out the pilot circuit . If you have 3 month old gas...
Possibly a stupid question since I am not a professional mechanic. But, even if the carb were off the bike and there was spark and compression was good, a...

Hey guys, I'm new to the board. Just wanted to take a minute to tell you about myself. Well, Im 18 and I'm from Massachusetts. I've been dirtbiking for 11...
Hi and welcome. The IT200 is a great bike. Probably the 2nd best of the whole IT line with only the '86 being better with the disk. Your bike won't hold you...
Hi all An iteresting thread about the bottom end rebuild. I have been wondering if the pro-X bottom Rod kits are our only alternative when the bottom end...
I have a 1983 IT250 I am restoring. I am having no luck removing the lower steering head bearing outer race. I tried using a 3 jaw tool with a slide hammer I...
If you have access to an electric welder, you can run a bead of weld on the inside of the bearing surface. As it cools, the cone will shrink and usually fall...
Ken, contact the guys at Pitposse.com they have a lot of tools. Hopefully something will work. I did mine by cutting into one side with a dremel and then...
Good idea or use a heat gun on the frame around the race, then set a frozen big socket on the race - the race should come out with a little force ... ...
I have a mig welder so I will give that a try. I have a torch also so I could probably heat it up with that as well. If that doesn't work I will borrow my...
Throw a bead down around the inside. It shrinks and comes right out. I have an 82 IT465 and it worked great. good luck............ [Non-text portions of...
The '83 IT490 wheel should fit, I am using an '83 IT250K front wheel on my '81 IT465 until my original wheels are rebuilt. they appear to be identical. if the...
Thanks for the feedback. I know the part numbers are different for the hub and rim, but they look identical. If my axle fits through, I should be good. I...
Hello, I am thinking of doing a front end conversion for my 82 IT465. I would be able to use my 465 triple trees as long as the tubes are the same diameter...
The easiest way I've found is to cut a couple of small divots in the frame with a die grinder 180 apart so you can punch it out from the top with a drift....
Beware that the brake plate does not have a different offset than the stock one. Yamaha used 3 different brake plates that at a casual glance look the same. If...
Hey Papa, Well, you may have read an earlier post that I wrote, but I have the same bike, and always do disc brake conversions for my old dirt bikes, unless,...
