Still don't have my 1976 Yamaha YZ125 and 1983 Yamaha YZ490 where I want them, but I have taken on rebuilding a 1981 Yamaha YZ465.
I was going to make it into a Marty Moats replica, but now I am thinking about making it into a nice Blue and White Keystone bike like George Quays Yamaha YZ250.
I think I will start with the Motor rebuild and figure it out from there. Anyone else out there restore one these? Any important tips?
Thanks

Juiced about this project.

I am kicking myself for missing a perfect Gas Tank for $25.
Looking for a Left Case with no cracks at the moment for a low price.
Last time with the YZ490 I couldn't get the Cases apart myself and had to pay an arm and a leg to have someone split the cases for me (less then a case splitting tool though), and now I am going to have to split the cases on the YZ465 and the YZ490 again so I am going to have to purchase a Case Splitting tool.
Anyone know where to get the Correct Case Splitter for "CHEAP"?
I just wanted to stop by my thread and say that I am honored that you stopped by my thread. Your YZ465 is awesome.
I can't wait to get home and break out the wire wheel. I have some nic nac parts that needs polishing. ;-)

The Oversized Gas Tank looks horrible so that has to go as soon as I get some more money coming in.
Thanks in Advance

The 465's are side port exhaust.
Even it it fit the cases, you will need the 79 400 frame to stuff it into, or a good plumber for a pipe to it in the 465 frame.
