Now, I was a never-was novice for pretty much all of my time on 80s, so take this with a giant grain of salt...but I had several YZ80s of that (87-92) vintage and the only bike I remember being hopelessly faster (until the power valve RM80 came out) was the CR80. I was also only 5' 2" 105 lbs at 13 so the smaller size of the bike wasn't a big deal. It's not that we thought those YZ80s were any good...its that you could get a leftover model for stupid cheap and they never changed. I was on 125s by the time the 93 YZ80 came out, and was so envious.
Back to the thread - I also had several early 90s YZ125s and those wouldn't shift right either. Yamaha definitely did not figure out the problem until after I quit in 1994.
