YZ465 top end rebuild

[John73bb]

I can't seem to find anywhere that sells top end gaskets for my YZ465. Is it the same as the YZ490 or YZ426 (or some other Yamaha for which gaskets are strill available)? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I hate to ask this, but did you try Yamaha? I swear to you, I just ordered top end gaskets for my Brothers YZ 250 (1982). Find an old, well established dealer. Some of them even stock this old stuff.

I'll give them a call, I was hoping to save some bucks, and was looking for aftermarket places to get them (like Dennis Kirk, or ???)

Thanks,
