This bike needs obvious attention but it is 99% complete and all original as far as I can tell. Listing it as a project  for those of you who like to do your own restos. Original and correct kickstart lever needs some spline cleaning, but it's there. Rear brake stay arm is not original, but I've probably got a dozen of those sitting here so I'll include a correct one with the sale.
Core Rebuilder or parts bike. Typical Arizona 'sun roached', but the good part is that there is no corrosion on these bikes. Look at photos closely please; lots of good parts here.
Excellent project bike. This bike has great compression and the motor turns smoothly. Wheels look great. Original pipe and silencer look really good too.
The '82 model YZ 490 was a landmark bike, as Yamaha basically went all-out on giving it a true rocket of a motor. '82 J model was Yamaha's most powerful 490, and these big bore Yamaha 2-strokes were detuned every year until they became more 'manageable'. If you're looking for horsepower, look no further than the '82 YZ490J.
Rear
Suspension feels pretty good and no leaks noted, but front forks will need obvious rebuild. Rims look good. Tires and tubes are junk and will need replacing.
Matching frame & engine numbers 5X6-00xxxx
NO TITLE
Bike will need cosmetic and partial mechanical resto, but what a great rust free original to start from. Bike is super dirty but is in very good shape underneath all of that crusty crap.
PAYMENT: I am not a big fan of paypal fees, especially on big ticket items like my bikes. If you want to pay me the total amount via paypal, you may do so only if you are willing to pay full price ('buy it now' option). Then I will absorb the fees. If you want to make me a lower offer, then you will need to add the 3% (international add 4%) to our agreed upon price to cover those fees.
Questions?--please call Mike 62three-23six-063six
