This YZ was Mike Owen's Ahrma #X National title bike. knew Mike well & helped him set it up for run at the championship. Bike is unrestored but very nice. It has about XX-min break-in time total since engine rebuild. New parts included piston kit with bore, rod kit, all beaings, seals, gaskets, clutch plates, intake manifold, seat foam & cover, petcock, throttle cable, slide, air filter, XXXX aftermarket front fender and fresh tires. Bike is "VERY" FAST. Here's why- When Yamaha's OWXX works water cooled XXX's were in jeopardy of being 'claimed' at the AMA Nationals in XXXX,Ed Scheidler; Danny Turners' mechanic had to switch Hannah's & Turner's engines to production YZXXXX engines. To insure they were fast enough, they were carefully modified and became much faster than stock, and in stock form- they were fast anyway. Ed's specs went into this bike. Cylinder & piston were boost ported, head milled and trenched, jetting changed and YZXXXC pipe used. Ed told me the XXXC pipe actually worked better than all the hand made pipes tried. Bike has an unknown aluminum swing arm- possibly works Yamaha. Negatives- rear fender is painted, no pink slip- bill of sale only. Frame & engine numbers are XGX, but not matching, kicker return spring is weak. Gas tank and side panels are very nice- maybe XX% perfect. One small depression in tank plus few other minor flaws. Footpegs nicely widened. Bike is race ready but will need jetting for your elevation. No warranty applies- this is used dirt bike over XX years old. Shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer. Feel free to email me through ebay with any concerns.
