I finally found the seals I need for the 82 and I'm working on the other parts, so maybe there is a chance. My problem is I'm working on to many bikes right now, I got the case for the 490 fixed yesterday and the 84 YZ crank back on saturday. If I get the 84 done make sure to bring your check book to Mid-Ohio!
 
I'll have it and an extra set of tie downs.
Anxious to build me a "Mean" 83/84 YZ250 racer to chase down RM's with.
 
Great find. Were you actively searching for your old bike or just looking at YZs of that vintage? I'd love to find my '76 RM. I sold it to a seven foot tall Mennonite kid from Dalton or Charm or someplace like that. It probably ended up powering a grain elevator or something.

I'd say the odds are pretty damn long. You might want to put a buck or two on the Super Lotto.

That's really an awesome find.

It's funny I go out into the garage and just look at it, still can't believe it's my old bike!

If anyone was to make a find like this, it would be evo. He must have the most thorough old bike search routine around. Get it running and keep it away from the curb!

Nope not selling. I bought some parts from Marks swap page, but there is no way it will ready for Mid-Ohio. Hopefully knock on wood I'll have my 84 YZ250 ready, it will be for sale after the race. (it has NQ1965 name all over it)
