79 yz400

I've ground down KTM and aftermarket KTM pegs to fit. I've also been told the late model Yamaha Titanium fit with slight modifications.

As for the kicker a bunch fit so eBay and Mark's vintage sight is where you want to start. Just use Babbittt's parts site to cross reference what models fit.

Great bikes and I love mine!

I just milled off the extra width in my Bridgeport. You could do it with a bench grinder or hand held in a vice. I just happen to have the equipment to do it a little less crudely.



Here is the set I did for my 81 CR250R but it is the same process for the YZ.

Wow! Look/Not sure but im thinking most big yz kickers fit that spline.
first do this. It might work if. K your kicker apart. go to Home Depot and get A spring assortment package. In that package there are spring that look like the one that pushes the little ball bearing out.It looks like a heavy duty version of a spring inside a clicky pen. Clean everything .Push one of those springs into the knuckle put the bearing in and the kicker back. Grease everything of course. Be careful not to shoot the ball bearing across the room and lose find it or worse don't shoot your eye out kid. I fixed a lot of kickers that way.Instead of buying a new spring you may be able to stretch the one in your kicker out a little bit. I have a 426 kicker. If you email me a pic of yours i can compare them.
If they are the same you can get an aluminum kicker from a newer machine

I was messing around in the shop and found out that my stock rmz 450 pegs went right on the 79 yz 400. I had to do just a touch of filing and I think I had to drill a tiny hole in the right peg for the stock yz spring to go into.

dc plastics, same guy that made that seat cover, sells PRF pegs that are made for the bike, I have a set, fit great, nice & wide! nice looking bike! I have a new oem upper shock bearing for these bikes if anyone needs one....where"s the lightning bolts?

Cool bike Weisel !

If you email me a pic of your spline ill compare it to the 426 kicker i have here

Harvey Haydon from GA has one for 250/400F available on MarksMeet

There is a kicker on Mark's vintage sight right now. Rob put a 80s aluminum kicker on that sweet 1980 yz 250 he built. Just be careful the old kickkickers will punch a hole in your case due to the local of the pinch bolt.

The kicker on my '79 YZ250 is forged steel, weighs 1.5 lbs ! Any idea what '90's alu model will fit on there ?

Rob will have to way in here but I think you just swap the arm on the post.

Have you actually done it weisel?
I can't see that medal easy to work threads into

theses bolt on, the only mod is making the hole slightly larger and drill a small hole for the return spring (SEE PIC)

Heard that before but was skeptical, thanks for the pic and linky evomx244 ! That an '82 YZ250J ?

I used to own a 79 yz400 I sure do miss it there great old bikes

Correct 82 YZ250J-My original 82 bike that I raced when I was 17

I'm almost 100 % sure I bolted those pegs on a 79 YZ125 I had a few years ago.

For the forks your talking racetech emulators $140, springs $120 and top out springs $40. Plus 15wt oil and seals. $50-60.

Out back you really want to do the full racetech deal. Piston kit $160, spring kit $200, seal head $40 and if it doesn't have a external ressy that is a good addition.

This is a huge improvement to the bike. If you are handy with a wrench the forks are easy. The shock requires a press and charging tool and some patients when building to get all the air out.

In a few weeks I'll have a set of fully setup front forks for sale (finishing up my 43mm forks) and a refreshing shock with new seal head and White Brothers reservoir.
