I had a 81 IT465 and it was yellow and white and had a boost bottle and the card joint. Maybe someone may have removed the boost bottle ? I did have a...
I think maybe the boost bottle was removed and the joint replaced, because the bike has a "gas it up and forget it" Clarke megatank on it now. It's a 4v6 frame...

Why ? with the boost bottle , throttle response was poor . Plus they cracked , leaked and then you had an engine running super lean . The Dirt Shack Lee...
I've never had a boost bottle crack and I've only had one leak at the hose joint. It leaked slightly under a 7psi pressure test. My YZ250 ran better with the...
