1986 Yamaha YZ490
Just a quick little video of my 490. Just had some time off all my bikes due to injury so I spent it freshening up the big girl. Motor is far from stock, suspension has just had all bearings, seals and bushes replaced and I repainted the frame. Plus the beautiful PC pipe and silencer that I finally got new here in Australia 🇦🇺!!

I love this bike so I thought I’d have a crack at doing a video review. I hope you like it. It’s unedited and a little long and I am no Harley expert. But I do love to ride. Enjoy!

Brilliant video nice bike 🤘🏻👍👨🏻🔧
Nice🥰 I have a 21 model with stage one and Vance and Hines big radius. Almost the same as yours and also have the screaming eagle air filter. I went chrome pipes and filter box. Also have the same sissy and rack. Nice taste brother. I’ve got 28,000 on mine now and faultless mechanically. 😎👍
2004 FLSTF in White. 🇦🇺
Yeah I'd give her a thumbs UP as well!! I've got the 2019 model and it's a dream to ride and classy to behold. ENJOY
Head mod is the most important single thing you can do on a 490. Changing squish band and rejetting makes it run clean down low. Glad you guys know the specs.
Hi Jason...but...the sissybar is original HD ? Your set is exactly as I want. Very good
Ho visto è una bellissima moto anche perché ce l'ho pure io la 490 la Yamaha uguale identica a me è del 1984 è bellissima come la mia
Beautiful example , do you know how it compares to other 500s
I watched a vid of a guy with 490 who had either advanced the timing to much or the wrong ignition and when he kicked it over it ran backwards
Hey mate, looks fantastic! Do you still have it? I’m trying to decide on one myself.
Unfortunately I sold it recently when my mum got sick and move back home with us. I will get back on top of things again soon and hopefully get onto another one. That was my first brand new bike. I miss it dearly.
@@Jasonracer really sorry to hear that. Hope she improves and you can all overcome what ails her. Thanks for your reply, I am quite confused in going with a LRS or the SG. The 117 is awesome but I love everything about the SG.
Hey mate, what did you use for the joiner between the to lengths? Cheers
Hey Brad. Just use a piece of pipe that is smaller in outer but thicker material
Thanks mate, Ill have to have a bit more of a hunt, got everything else sorted but couldn't suss that bit out, will try again on my next visit. Cheers!
Simple ideas 💡 the best and lightweight to well done 👍
I have been looking at purchasing this bike. I think when the bags and fairing are off it is one of the best looking m8s. The front end looks great and a pity the windscreen covers it.
Will need to make one.. 3metre 25mm water pipe. Two 19mm T piece joiners 1x19mm 150mm joiner Cut 4x 13.5cm lengths off of the 3metre pipe. Cut whats left in half Join legs and T piece together and DONE. Thanks mate, i made one for my double swag ive had since 2010. Works perfect. Cheers 🍻. Packs up inside the swag too. Can pin this post 🤙
Bloody nice mate. I'm just about to get one. 2022, I think.
Unfortunately I had to sell mine. My old girl got sick and life had changed drastically. Miss this bike dearly
What are those pipes they sound awesome!!
Mate, you're fkn Legend. this fixed my Tigerz11 swag 100%...a little trimming to get the right lenght, but wow.. NO more sag in my swag...
That’s awesome mate! Yeah I had looked at quite a lot of videos looking for an easy cheap fix but I also wanted something that will fit in the swag when I pack it up. Works a treat!
@@Jasonracer it was like sleeping in a potatoe sack, now its the taj maswag.....
wish i could post a piccie or 2...again man thnx.
@@Jasonracermate, my next hack on this is to add a length of pvc conduit down the middle, tie the 2 hoops, then i can hang small led light.
Lovely bike mate. I'm in NZ. '04 KX500 low hour and '01 CR500R in the shed zero hours. Not impressed with you starting it wearing flip flops. I started my KX500 wearing my Nikes and it kicked back and tore my calf muscle apart, along the length of it. 2 days in Hospital. 24 stitches. i wasn't wearing shorts but a long pair of training pants.
Wow not good mate. Good technique on the 490 works fine
What is the length of the pipe please
trial and error, cut long, then cut to suit..
What length is each pipe please?
Also curious!!
Just measure it off the length of your outer supports. Then trim it until you are happy. I hope that helps
trial and erro, cut long and then trim, best way is to be in it to see how it all goes. todays effort took me about an hour.
Have had mine since 2018....tried all the HDs.... nothing came close....the best of both worlds....cruiser and tourer.....very nimble yet powerful...... comfortable.....a bit of a chopper look which i love and yet with all the layest tech.....just a smart choice
Yeah mate agreed. Unfortunately due to family health issues I had. To sell this bike late last year (2023). Man I miss it 😪
Thanks for your idea and video. A good cheap fix... My swag is a DUNE but the problem is the same... it's a pity the manufacturers didn't put a bit more effort into sorting it out.
Nice one thanks. Yeah simple fix hey
Could you add a link for the poly pipe purchased? Looks like a great idea that I would like to try out. Could you also do a quick tutorial on making the ends and middle part of the hoop?
Lovley looking bike mate sounds mint fair play to you
Mate that is beautiful. Im looking to buy one atm, 1 is a 1984 yz 490 and the other an 86 model id prefer the later but both are mint.
Nice mate. Go for it. This one is an 86 but I did it up as an 87. I just prefer the white frame over the red
😮
@jasonracer hey mate I’m here from the swag video (I can’t seem to comment) I’ve went out and bought most of what I can to make the anti-sag supports! I’m just wondering if you could share the measurements for the flex pipes that worked best for you? Im also struggling a bit to get a good way to connect the two in the middle 100% (I’m no handy man lol) cheers mate
A bit of electrical tape around your joiner piece and leave the other one bare so you can slide it out. I just measured mine up against the two end ones and trim it to your liking
Legend thank you for the response What did you use as the male connection bit in the middle if I may also ask! I tried looking around but couldn’t find anything that fitted inside.. grrr
@@reissmckellar9671 it was a smaller thicker piece of pipe that fitted into the blue black pipe.
That's a beautiful bike! I'm 99% sure my next bike will be a Harley and my heart tells me to get a Fatboy, but my head says the Sport Glide will give me the same level of pride and pleasure, but with more flexibility and usability. They're expensive of course, but you get so much bike for your money! Congratulations on a great choice. Ride safe and be well brother.
Beautiful bike! I thought they got discontinued but maybe just for the US market.
Yeah mate still available here in Australia 🇦🇺
Nice looking and sounding bike. I'm thinking of getting a Harley and if I did then I'd definitely look at one of these depending on the seat height
Sick build cobber 👍, sounds absolutely beautiful. I’ve been riding since I was 9, I’m nearly 48 now. & I never came across one of these beauty’s. My neighbour had a yz 80 87, & his brother had a yz 125 88. We used to cane those bikes, & they never let us down. Great bikes, but this beast here is on another level. This “ thing “ would be horrifically fast, it even sort of look’s evil. Top job sir 👍. I ridden so many bikes before, but I’d love to take one of these babies for a little spin.
Thanks mate. She’s pretty awesome for sure
Awesome bike
Nice bike, very familiar. With a bit of jetting,pipe and taller gearing I loved it! Never needed to touch 1st gear
Love it!❤
Un bijoux magnifique très rare bonjour de France 🇫🇷👍
I've got permanent scares from those machine!😂
Yep it will happen 😉
6:17 I think the bike looks great just like that, a little fairing and nothing else
Great to see another Aussie making videos
I am trying
Absolutely beautiful, thanks for sharing
My pleasure mate
Sounds like a snare at a DCI competition. I friggin love it.
Hi Jason, I spoke to Chris today top organise jets for the Air Striker conversion on my 490 (going to get him on to my KX500 engine also), how did you do to absord the 15mm (ish) reduction in carb length? I can see on you other video that you have some sort of extension/adapter at the air boot/carb junction but I can't see enough to work it out. Thanks mate
I had one of those when they first came out. Just plain stock it was a monster....a scray monster ,almost killed myself a few times way to much power just goose it a little and you will eat the hande bar.. All I can say is you better know how to ride before you take on a beast like this.. Nice bike
But did you have a smile on your face 😉
@Jasonracer Yes that scared as shit 😃
You started a 490 in flip flops? Ur psycho brother! Beautiful bike.
Ha ha yeah she’s a bit of a weapon but I wanted to show that it can be done. It probably shouldn’t be done though!! 🤣🤣
Jason was your Bike manufactured in Thailand....??? Do you Know ..??? What Number is the First Digit on you're VIN PLATE ??? IS it a (5) or Something else...???
Yes it was
Single petrol cap models (22 and younger ) are made in Thailand. The last of the York Pennsylvania built/manufactured models for the Australian market are 2021 models or older with two petrol caps on the tank.
Beautiful brother! I have an 89 490, its coming out nice. Did you replaced the carb for a new same model one?. I still need to do the cyl head work. Thanks for sharing!
No I have a reproduction pwk air striker on it. There is another video on my channel that explains everything done to it
@@Jasonracer Cool!, thanks
@@Jasonracer Is it a 38 mm? factory jets or did you re jet it? thanks
When i see your bike... I remember the legend dirt bike... MAICO 490 ❤
Absolute monster. My stepfather had an 87 he was too scared to ride so it just sat there collecting dust... my and my buddies skipped skool one day when he was away and we got it running... Insane Powerband
Beautiful bike brother, don’t ever sell it, you’ve got a real treasure right there.
i had an 87' brand new....absolute turd!
