Nice work 🤙had a 490 with drum brakes they work surprisingly well.

[@stevodakine1]

My first dirt bike, I remember it well. Bought it for $500 bucks off a friend. Never left me stranded.

[@jakeslouw3416]

That takes me back a while. Had the IT250 that was modelled on the YZ. My IT490 was converted to late 80s YZ forks with a front disk. Much needed on the 490.

[@Evo836]

I had the YZ250e and was a great bike and still have a brand new lower chain roller in my tool box of bits that I never fitted. Great build and sounds so nice.

Beautiful build!! I had an 81 RM465... This brings back memories.. 😎👍

[@jonsingle1614]

Why make the swing arm and forks black ?

[@traxxasrc10]

Because it’s his bike

[@robh3267]

I've never seen double pull drum brakes like that before, that was an era where dirt bikes were developing and evolving rapidly, soon would come liquid cooling and power valves.

[@Deathtrap617]

Pretty sure this bike isn’t an 81
81 was first year liquid cooled and the radiator was on the forks behind the number plate

Those Airstryker carbs are the way to go on a two stroke. Very niceYZ.

[@MR-bp3in]

Well it would have been nice to see it rip 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@3BrothersExtreme]

Rad build! Looks and sounds great

[@rcarle]

Very cool build

[@donewhiskey]

Love this dude and love the build!

[@kt2816]

Beautiful. I miss my yz 490.

[@vwsandvettes3253]

Nice bike. To me, the 1981 YZ125 was the craziest YZ ever, with old body style look, but newfangled water-cooled engine.

[@joelfildes5544]

I had the 125 G,stunning bike.

[@stevesmith756]

Wasn’t the radiator up on the triple clamps?

[@joelfildes5544]

@@stevesmith756 Yup,on the ‘J’

[@vwsandvettes3253]

[@jakerivets2249]

My first 125

[@husaislander4838]

Nice work. I am working on a 1986 IT 200

[@dirtbiketv1]

Very cool!

[@maverick2242]

Wow looks and sounds so cool, one of my fav era's, well done on the build and resto, love it, big fan of the Yellow Yamaha era!🤘

[@dirtbiketv1]

Glad you like it!

[@robplazzman6049]

It’s monoshock but not Rising Rate. They still qualify for twinshock racing in the U.K.

[@Workerbee-zy5nx]

Bkack swing arm? Might be a 76?😳

[@terrypikaart4394]

Yea i liked those, but that water cooled cr 250 ate that yam for breakfast..

[@Deathtrap617]

Pretty sure that’s not an 81
