Yamaha Other description

Up for sale is my IT250. I've owned it for 5 years and I haven't ridden it much. All i have done to it was replace the carburetor with a brand new Sudco unit. The bike sat for a very long time, and mice destroyed the old carb. I still have it though. The rest is original. Right down to the tires... They have never been replaced.

The bike came from New York. The man who bought it brand new passed away in 2010, and I bought it off of his brother. We called the NY state DMV and they said there was never a title issued for it. So this DOES NOT come with a title... 

A few months ago I took her out for a good 8 hour ride. It shifts like butter and goes through all 6 gears wonderfully... I actually had a friend ride this while I rode my mint condition 85 IT200, and the 250 would fly by it like its nothing. This bike is definitely a weapon if you choose to race it! 

The only problem I have with it is the steering bearings need to be greased (they are tight), and the front wheel is wobbly... But all the spokes are free so I'll true that before the new owner picks her up.

Also, the throttle slide on the new carburetor isn't the same as the original. So I had to stick a modified throttle cable on it for it to work. You will need to buy an OEM throttle slide in order to use an OEM cable...

I think that's everything... If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Please keep in mind that this bike has been ridden. There are a few cracks in the side covers A long straight crack in the left side cover and a crack around one of the mounting points on the right side cover. There's wear on the fork leg from improper speedo cable routing, and scratches here and there. The tank is faded as are most other ITs that have had fuel in them. Some of the yellow paint/decal is peeling from the number plates as well, and there a small tear in the seat. 


This bike is an easy restoration or a rider. It runs and drives 100%. Everything works the way it should, and I wouldn't hesitate to ride this all day long... And I have... She isn't perfect, but it's a low hour bike that is tight, fresh, and ready to win races.

I also have the speedo knob. It isn't pictured. I took that off when I bought it, because they always have a habit of falling off when you're riding.

Stoner to Miss Brno for Surgery – Title Defence Likely Over

Thu, 23 Aug 2012

Casey Stoner has withdrawn from the Brno, Czech Republic MotoGP round to undergo surgery on his injured ankle. Trailing Yamaha‘s Jorge Lorenzo by 39 points and Honda teammate Dani Pedrosa by 21 points with seven rounds to go, Stoner’s hopes of repeating as MotoGP champion before retiring at the end of the season are all but dashed. The Repsol Honda rider injured his ankle in a high side crash in last weekend’s Indianapolis Grand Prix.

Andrea Dovizioso Signs with Tech 3 Yamaha for 2012

Tue, 11 Oct 2011

The Tech 3 MotoGP team has reached a one-year agreement with Andrea Dovizioso, signing the Repsol Honda factory rider to take Colin Edwards’ place on the Yamaha satellite team in the 2012 season. Dovizioso will join the Tech 3 Yamaha team after three years with the Repsol Honda team. Despite currently holding onto the third overall spot on the 2011 championship points standings with five podium appearances and 13 top-five finishes in 15 races, Dovizioso found himself the odd man out with Honda which will stick with a two-man factory team of Casey Stoner and Dani Pedrosa with Marco Simoncelli riding a factory-supported Honda RC212V with the Gresini team.

Back in the day, the All Japan 500cc Championship at Tsukuba

Fri, 24 Jun 2011

This ‘you tube’ gem sent to me recently brought back some funny memories from the scary but incredibly exciting days of 500cc two stroke racing. This particular race was the final round of the All Japan 500cc Championship at Tsukuba Circuit where I enjoyed a head to head battle with national hero Tadahiko Taira. Yamaha’s favourite son at the time, ‘tie wrap’ as we liked to call him, was taller and better looking than most Japanese riders (maybe a war baby?) and went on to win nearly everything in Japan during his career.
