ddddaaammm. Nice bike! That looks like it's brand new... er- better than new.

Where did you find that rear tire? I can't seem to find 140/80/18 tires anywhere... It looks like that's the size you have.

Threadstarter: I wish I could remember the site, but when I was going to buy a 465 about a year ago, I looked into getting parts and found a great website. They had all the stuff you'd need. I can't find it though :(
The parts I saw on the site were DIRT cheap!

Enjoy the bikes! Pics would be awesome.

Where can u find a spark arrester for a 84 yz465?

 

[cleopatrisha]

no such thing as 1984 yz465

The yz465 was only made in 1980 and 1981

Cool, My first yz was a 78' 400. It was all machine...I had a lot of fun on that old bike.The best part it was free. I pulled it out from behind a garage with a plastic bag over the rod and piston with the jug missing. Went to a local salvage shop bought a 50.00 jug, glaze cut it, put on the bike with new rings and rode it!! That is all I ever did to it. The tires, brakes, and plastic were all good.
