I had one of these for like 3 years, my uncle broke his foot on it twice and gave it to me, when I was 14. I still made him kick start it for me, luckily it was his left foot he broke, because at 14, I could barely kick it when it was hot

[@lomasck]

I had a 1986 YZ490.I loved it and road it for 4 years every week end.It never let me down.I even went Drag racing with it.12.2 sec at 108 mph with it lowered ,Geared up & fitted a old road bike tire on it.My geared up & lowered 91KX250 did the 1/4 in 12.9 sec at 99mph Every single run .It had a Rad valve & drilled out 10mm transfer ports as said to do in a USA Bike magazine.It worked good.Also I can say the YZ could have done the 1/4 in under 12 sec if I had a wheelie Bar & a new rear tire.The KX was at its best so did not need these .I won a Trophy first place on the KX because it did this time & speed 100% every run.I was just trying to crack 100mph & instead walked away with a trophy.

You were spared a headache believe me. Anything pre 1985 was good. IMO the best (and fastest btw) were the YZ 465's because they had alot more snap in the mid range and top end.

I have a 1982 yellow and black yz490 im 59 years old i still ride it love the beast one thing i learned over the years of starting it is you dont wear tennis shoes. i also have a compression release

[@TNTMOTO]

I store my personal bikes and gear in another city . yes tennis shoes are a bad idea

[@mazdaspeed3758]

I had a 465 and then later bought a WR500. The WR had the front disc but it was still inadequate for the speed and weight of that bike. It also didn’t help that it was geared to hit 90mph until I dropped a tooth on the counter sprocket. Banshee riders always lost that drag race! I think that 500 is still sitting in a co-workers shed with a hole in the piston years after he bought it from me. The key to starting these big 2 strokes is getting it on the compression stroke like the poster did and NOT touching the throttle. That big piston pulls in plenty of fuel without trying to flood it.

[@cthumper6233]

had a yellow 82,,, you will find that in any gear at any speed the bike commands respect... every single person I let ride mine flipped it even after being told in advance of the available power and what happens when it gets any kind of traction...after the third rear fender I started cutting my own rear sections out of plastic 55gal drums... enjoy

[@preston121068]

I had a 1981 YZ 465, a friend bought the 1982 YZ 490. I'm not sure if the 490 got better or not, but compared to the 465, the 490 was crap. Very unreliable. Friend had issue after issue with that thing for 3 or 4 years until he sold it. I rode my 465 for about 7 years trouble free and just as fast as his 490 on it's best day.

I had an 84, it vibrated a lot, wasn't always the easiest to start when cold and had the 4 speed gearbox. But, once you got it running it ran good and would pull your arms out of the sockets. I think that from 1985 to the end of the model, the YZ 490's came with white plastics and the years before that were yellow, at least here in the US. Only way to know with yours will be to check the frame vin and the engine nos.

Thanks

Pro tip. Hold that lever on the left in and you can kick that bike over in any gear.

[@TNTMOTO]

Clutches drag even with lever pulled in. Easier to start in neutral. Shifter lever was hitting planter when kicked it over but thanks for the tip.
