Hey guys,
I`m a happy owner of a pristine 465 and I need some info on performance mods.
First does anyone know of a suspension shop that works on these old yamahas. The rear shock takes an unusualy long spring and I cant find one anywhere. I need one stiffer than stock as I am 6'4" and 265# and ride in the A class.Also this spring is progressive.
Engine, the power is plenty strong but comes on like a light switch, the bottom is very raspy and then the mid just blastes off. Any Ideas on how to tame this beast, im used to riding a YZ-400 so I like smooth power. Would Boyson reeds help? How about a DG pipe?
Does any one know where I can get a copy of the old Yamaha competition wrench report for this bike? I seem to remember them having porting specs and other info in there.
I had one of these brand new in 81, in fact it was my first new bike, and working on this one shure has brought bake the memories.
Thanks guys
