Looks good I've got an 89 too. A good mod is to run a right hand side cover from the 1986-199 YZ125. Team Yamaha did the mod back in the day from 89-90 on Bradshaw's bikes to stop your boot snagging the seat/tank/side cover junction on the right hand side. It takes a little bit of fiddling to get it to fit nice but works a treat. See this photo...

1/18/2023 1:13pm I decided to powdercoat the head lollipop red with a super chrome base. Did it myself! Just starting to figure it out.

8/31/2022 7:16pm I also used an inner clutch cover from a 1992 YZ 250 so i could have quick change capabilities. Switches right over. You just have to use the old power valve linkage arm. Water pump stuff swaps straight over. Now I can pull the basket and everything out without pulling the whole clutch cover off. Well worth the $65 investment...

Finally got the old girl dialed in. Had the suspension valved and sprung by Race Tech. I'm 265 pounds and she feels dang good. I threw a new top end in it and went racing. She held together on the maiden voyage. I still need to make it look pretty. Just focused on getting it just right performance...

12/16/2021 9:48am Finally made a little more progress on the old girl. Revalved and resprung the rear shock with racetech components. And added a genuine PWK 38mm Air Stryker. Forks are going to be gone through next...

Bought this to restore and race to keep my dad busy after mum died. It was a lot of work and searching for parts, but pleased with how it turned out. Lovely bike to ride with plenty of power.
