1983 YZ490 Project "I GOT SCAMMED!"

[@londonspeedway]

That's what you want to see! Every so often, in the post, unavailable NOS part you have been searching and searching for! Had a couple of moments with my 87 YZ125. Great feeling! Really useful video on polishing the tank by the way. Thanks.

[@TNTMOTO]

Thankyou for watching. good to hear the polishing was useful to you.

[@greensocks4507]

I saw you pull that silencer out of the box and my heart skipped a beat. KX500 Vet since '97. Had a WR500 before then. Before that I was riding a '75 YZ360B . Keep up the good work.

[@Croseb2]

Sorry to hear that. I’ve been ripped off before on FB. Difficult to trust folks these days.

[@bennieleroux3017]

Thank you for doing this video. We all learn from our mistakes. Same happened to me. Lost motivation to continue but will pick up the tools again. Thank you

[@TNTMOTO]

It is always good to hear my videos have had a positive effect on my viewers

[@ronaldtartaglia4459]

I’m glad I’m not the only one searching through endless pages in search of old two stroke parts.

[@Mr10usdad]

Good to see you back in business rescuing another bike!

[@maxpower3121]

Yeah a bunch of people got scammed in the vintage groups.. one goes by the monicker TJ Faria, the new one is white roe Tom. I’m sorry to hear you got scammed man.

[@crziness5176]

If I got scammed that much, I would have trouble not putting that person's name/business name on blast. At least you were able to find the 1983 silencer. It sucks when you have to deal with a model year of bike that has hard to find parts and ones that aren't compatible from other model years, kind of like how the 90's CRs are.

[@TNTMOTO]

Problem is the name and facebook account is fake.

[@UlisesGlez26]

Too bad abput the scamm, some people just don't care but nice to see that you got NEW one!!! Can't wait to hear it

[@JUSTTRYANDSTOPIT]

Great find the NOS muffler...parts are out there...just have to be determined patient and lucky Keep the vids coming

[@hankschrader149]

Scammers suck! Thieves suck! Glad you ended up with a nice one in the long run!

[@sherf2654]

That will bring music to 490 lovers ears that they haven't heard in many years when you get her completed! The Yamaha GODS must be on your side!

[@TNTMOTO]

I hope so i need a couple more parts yet.

[@sherf2654]

What are you needing?

[@TNTMOTO]

@@sherf2654 seat pan

[@sherf2654]

I don't have one but I will see if I can track one down. Your seat foam good or are you buying a new one?

[@chopperhehehe]

Bad luck on the scammer plick Nice one that you got an original tail pipe can't wait to hear her rip 👍👍👍😜🦄🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎣😁🤞✌️

[@mattwatkins7333]

WELL DONE ON THAT SILENCER,SOMETHING GOOD ALWAYS COME FROM SOMETHING BAD,,,,

[@Maicowerk]

You can say "buy goods or services" in paypal and I always send money that way in paypal.

[@TNTMOTO]

Someone else mentioned this as well. I think there was some reason he would not let me use that option. maybe a wait time? I learnt my lesson.

[@flagovhate]

@@TNTMOTO the seller ends up paying a fee when it's setup as "buying goods or services" however, it covers you in a situation like this. The fee is very small, i believe it's 5%? I'm not 100% sure but i would never "send money to a friend" when buying something from someone i don't know.

[@Maicowerk]

Ya, they pay a fee, they can always ask you to include a little more to cover the fee.

[@Maicowerk]

Of course, if their intention is not to send you something then they are going to ask not to send that way.

[@ClockFixer]

Took me forever to find a stock silencer for my 81 KX 250

[@deppipesdavey5471]

cool.am glad things worked out for you.

[@Ratchet-strap-Garage]

You send the money as goods and services . Save the messages as proof if needed. I buy all the time and send funds through paypal to non businesses. Actually had 2 claims filed and money returned after sellers didnt ship the parts.

[@HARDWARE_FIX]

Saludos amigo. Espero que estés muy bien. Siempre a la espera de sus videos. :)

[@TNTMOTO]

Thanks i am well, have a week off so hope to get lots done on the project.

[@Lsxiroc85]

Paypal gives you the option to send money through goods and services. Makes the buyer pay a fee but if something is wrong you get your money back weather your a business or not. Alls you have to do is send a return tracking number proving you send the product back. I dont ever send money, friends and family unless they are. Or i know the person.

[@TNTMOTO]

I will look into the paypal option. I learnt my lesson. Sometimes i am a little too trusting.

[@sixpacksandsrts9122]

All ya gotta do is have the guy selling you a part is have send the money request. Put what you bought in the notes. PayPal goods and services

[@TNTMOTO]

no money request. that was part of the problem.

[@morgancure1604]

that engine sure looked beat up

[@TNTMOTO]

It is going to look like new when it is done.

[@northerntoyota7584]

I can hear you. Must be a Canadian thing 🇨🇦

[@1MACVSOG1]

Dude what a score!!!!!👌

[@ronaldtartaglia4459]

Why Zed.... love it.

[@TNTMOTO]

lol I am trying to remember to say Zeee but i have been pronouncing it Zed since Kindergarten.

[@ronaldtartaglia4459]

TNT MOTO leave it that way.... sounds cool. I want to get something with a”z” in it just so I can say that.

[@TNTMOTO]

@@ronaldtartaglia4459 Lol

[@hornblowrfilms928]

Glad to hear somebody say it like that...... thought it was a silly Australian thing, but I guess not. Everyone down under says Why Zed....

[@joelfildes5544]

Nice,a couple of mates had them back in the day....braaaap !

[@johnsmith-qz4bv]

some people just dont care.....glad u found one ..did u get the crank yet

[@TNTMOTO]

yes but it is sitting across the border. Trying to figure out how to get it here without paying a fortune.

[@johnsmith-qz4bv]

@@TNTMOTO thats great cant wait..

[@tomatoknuckles]

Noting worse than a scammer scum bags. Glad you got sorted in the end 👍

[@2strokemxclassics]

Nice find tnt👍👍

[@theravedaddy]

I was told by the whole English speaking world that i would never find a bunch of perished rubber and plastic parts for my TLM200R. They openly mocked me about it! Then i stumbled onto a russian company based in japan and next thing you know ive got a fully restored TLM....where the replacement parts cost 3 times the value of the bike so no one will buy it!

[@bpr154]

the ravedaddy what is the name of the company?

[@theravedaddy]

@@bpr154 impex.jp

[@TNTMOTO]

Ya problem with restoring is you have to keep on budget if you plan to break even. I know when i restore my 89 CR500 next year i will never stay within a budget. But that bike is for me and will probably never be sold.

[@theravedaddy]

@@TNTMOTO the problem out here in thailand is the bikes are fucked to a stump when you buy them and priced at plus restored value already. They seem to think a restored bike is the same value as a wreck. They will fit lifan 125 engines in CR250s rather than spend $200 more and import parts!

[@mrmoparrr]

Great Score there !

[@morgancure1604]

P.S...i always pay extra and pay the fees

[@TNTMOTO]

This situation there was a reason i could not do it. I think it had something with the time for money to clear or something and he was not willing to wait.

[@OnfloorAudio]

Sweet muffler !!! Wow ... nos part after all these years .

[@simplywell7522]

never paypal as gift. pay the fee so you have recorse if needed

[@TNTMOTO]

Learned my lesson

[@rowangrayvlogs5355]

I can hear the volume

[@ClockFixer]

Mean People Suck !

[@mrmoparrr]

Check Partzilla for anything! Amazing site !

[@TNTMOTO]

I use partzilla and Babbits but bigger items although shown in the schematics are never available on the older bikes.

[@johnpena9165]

It's a YZ 490 not a YZed 490, learn how to pronounce properly before embarrassing yourself !

[@TNTMOTO]

Lol sorry but in the USA its pronounced zee. In Canada its pronounced zed.

[@johnpena9165]

@@TNTMOTO I've heard alot of people I guess from up north in Canada call Z/28s Zed/28s now I know why👍 .

@@johnpena9165 its pretty much every commonwealth country.
