Can anyone advise the difference between 1980 yz125g head vs 1980 it175g heads.
If it will fit then i think i can reshape if need be.
It looks like the same and have asked questions around, if you have a 1980 it175 head or cylinder perhaps you can measure it up and I can compare to my 1980yz125 measurements.
Hope to hear back soon as i have a head for sale that I am looking at:-)
it may look the same and have the same head bolt pattern, but the diameter of the combustion chamber is 66mm on the IT175, vs 56mm on the YZ125G. I believe the dome is larger on the IT as well. The IT175G was basically a bored out YZ125 by 10mm. It shared the same crank stroke of 50mm though.
Head gasket is wider too. I wouldn't do it, unless you know a welder and a machinist who could fill the space with weld, and machine it to the right width / specs / dome shape.
Also, this topic should be in 'Old School Moto'. Good luck.
Thanks for the detailed info, i will let it go :-)
Still looking for DG head and performance pipe options, even considering modifying one of my later model pipes to try and see how they go from measurements they are very close but slightly larger diameter and gradually increase in diam instead of const on header so maybe be good.
Pity those parts arnt readily available these days

Looks like a different bolt pattern (YZ on top)
Seems by 1980 DG's head sales took a hit because Yamaha was copying them.

Not cheap but nothing is these days.
Call Harry Klemm. He will know what to do.... Pretty sure he worked at DG.

The top one in your pic is a 1979 125 head. They changed to the 5 bolt pattern in 1980.
Sorry you're right, the "YZ125g" diagram I was looking at was actually labeled "YZ125e-f" in the corner.
all good. Thats a time when bikes were changing at a blistering pace! :-)
Thanks for the tip, i will contact him.
175cc, the sweet spot for keeping 125 flick-ability. 200's have a heavier feel. From what I've read, that is.
If you want more power than bling affect, adapt the air boots for a STIC Super X 38mm PWK carb. These are small bore magic. Provides big-bore low end with its improved sensitivity to the weaker vacuum signal at low RPM and extended top end peak hp. It will easily be quicker and pull an IT 250. My 200SX out pulled a fresh rebuilt '98 KX250 and the owner confirmed it with a few laps on the 2hun at the track.
I had both, the IT200 was a much better bike than the IT175, it felt more flickable, the IT175 felt top heavy.
Wouldn't top heavy be outside the difference of bore and 20-ish CC gyro and piston weight change?
But hey you've ridden both.
The IT175's shock was almost horizontal under the seat
the IT200s shock was lower
I don't know if this was the cause, but the IT200 did fell more flickable to me.
It will totally work. You just need to find a 2T tuner who can reshape the squish band. I’ve heard they measure it with drops of water mixed with a water tension releaser. My bro used to watch Steve Dobernick of SD Racing do it.
