[QUOTE="EricGorr, post: 695357, member: 19611"] Welcome to DRN, I have a soft spot for the old air-cooled YZ/WR of course maybe thats due to the vibration vibrating my spine into Jello! My friend Troy Bradshaw won the AMA Amateur Nationals in 1984 on a YZ490 in 1984, the year Kawasaki introduced the water-cooled KX500, supplying a factory bike to Tommy Watts for an amateur race. We enjoyed kicking their green asses that week. I preferred the 40mm round slide Mikuni from the 490 over the flat slide Kehin. There is a ton of porting that can be done to that engine to unleash the beast. Up in the Midwest here, the 490 is still a popular bike in ice racing where power is paramount. [/QUOTE]
