This bike will kill you. yeah if you spray the brakes with WD it will

If you think its fast, wait until its actually running right.

I had a yz490 for a few years, strong bike. This guy hasn't figured out that a two stroke has to be cleaned out after warm up. That front wheel shouldn't touch the ground on asphalt.

This video is just straight up painful in every way

If you put wd40 on the rotor the brake caliper will not grab on it the brake pads will slip smh

It’s bogging because your loading it up babying it around!!!! I know it’s a 490 and it’s sick fast but 2 strokes need to rev out

As an old school 250 and 500 motocross racer, we used to say "it's loaded up," not bogging. The 250 and 500's back then vibrated a lot! Try shifting a little sooner to keep on the power band, you could here the power band fall off before each shift. Have fun with it! Awesome!

Why would you F'n put oil on the rotor? The rust would have worn off with use. Oil will glaze the pads.

next video is the front forks bent and broken arm. "I have not Idea why it didn't stop"

Raced these in 1984. I’m getting a little older in the bones but my mind most certainly remembers the friggin power this machine made, after you sorted out the WTF carb setup from the factory. I kept waiting to hear this machine get on the pipe with this kid perched on top. He’d have felt something else hitting his leg......as he crapped all over himself. Really enjoyed competing with the mid 80’s Yamahas. They were capable of delivering doom to the rest of the bikes in the moto.

It’s literally painful watching you ride a motorcycle

"im scared of the bike" Rides in shorts and 1 boot

Make sure to spray your rotors with wd 40 before you ride or your brakes won’t work

This reminds me of myself... at like 11

Hi, I just wanted to let you know from 27 years of mechanical repair experience you probably shouldn’t leave your air cooled engine idling. Also warm up time for air cooled engines is minimal or nonexistent. Have you ever wondered why in some states lane splitting is legal. Have a look at the facts , Air cooled bikes are meant to keep moving the poor compression rings in that cylinder must’ve been glowing red when you were letting it run on your stand for five minutes or whatever it was. An air cooled for stroke is even more important, they run a lot hotter than two strokes. Maybe that bad ass old Yamaha can deal with that I don’t know for sure but I wouldn’t recommend it.

That thing should be on one wheel abjust the carb don't ride it till it's running right

I feel so sorry for that engine “it’s bogging” more like the engine is crying for freedom

Mine was a bit boggy too, put an after market Answer muffler on and installed some Boison reeds and it transformed the bike. It would pull up big hill climbs at idle in second/third and pull of the bottom smove and crisp. Awesome.

Use to have one of these bikes in the late 80's early 90's. It doesn't the credit it deserves. I never had a problem dispatching other 500's. I would like to find another one, I love these old bikes. Would look great setting next to my 87 tt350.
