Sic old bike. You were ripping. I had 92 myself around 2001. It had so much torque and awesome top speed. Did it all up, stripped frame then polished and got yamaha blue see through powdercoat applied. Spewing I sold it for $1500 back then. Now they're worth a fortune. Would have still had if I didn't fall on hard times. Avagud1

It is a nice bike tbf, ugly but in a nice way. The gearbox is the same as the YZ though 😉

Wow i just looked that up surprise,,,yz box. I remmember my kx felt like it had a lower top speed and a taller first gear than the wr i rode in 94. I dont think the wr is an ugly bike . Most were sold over here with full road registration indicators and lights.. finding a ADR compliant wr 500 for sale is harder than finding gold.🤣

YZ490's are odd. A buddy of mine and I bought 1986 YZ490's new. Mine hauled ass, was a real open class weapon. His was a pinging stone. Yamaha must of had horrible quality control in the port timing and squish band QC at the time. Sane thing happened to me in 1973 with two RT3MX bikes. My YZ got a license plate, and beat street bikes too.

Looks like fun. I know where 2 are in perfect condition. They are twins and at a local shop on display. I should ask how much they want for them, but I am holding out for an '86 CR500..

Even though its down on power compared to the other Open-Class bikes of the time, nobody should be able to out-pull you on a straight... Besides race gas to keep it in 1 piece, what mods were done?

Somehow an employee from my work had one, and I got 2,000 for it. Don’t know how I found someone with it, and the original title and owners manual. I would say I stole mine as I’ve seen just stock fuel tanks and jugs go for at least 1,000.
