Yes it will. The 1984 yz490 and the 1985 yz490 are identical bikes other than the front disc brakes.
usually about 90 or 95 with stock gearing
That is the burnt two stroke oil. it is pretty normal
It's a Yamaha so it'll call for yamalube but I have one just like it and I use Honda tranny oil and I have no problems with it and its about $3 cheaper but it root depends on how aggressive u r on it me I drive mine like its a 4 stroke and have had the same plug for 13 years but if u want it to stay all factory I recommend using yamalube Yamaha designs the bike so they no exactly what is the best for it so it'll b dependable at last
On mine I h.ad the same prob. Got hot enough to weld the clutch rod to the bearings
This is a trick question in that the correct fuel to oil mixture is not dependant upon the type of motorcycle. It IS dependant on the type of oil itself ... which is to say it's lubricating capability and other properties. To achieve the proper ratio, one should always follow the recommendations and specifications put out by the oil manufac turer. For most of the new highly-concentrated synthetic pre-mix oils, that ratio is typically around 40:1. But, can go as high as 50:1 for some brands. If your style of riding, track and weather conditions, etc., lead to abnormally high engine teperatures or, if you particular motor tends to run unusually warm, it's best to err on the conservative side and mix at a slightly lower ratio than the manufacturer recommends. Never mix at a ratio that is higher than recommended. MrGlock2 group founder/moderator Yahoo.com YZ490 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/YZ490
