3/4 tank in about 45 minutes on the track when I used to ride harder  :ack:  I kept pushing harder and harder each session and noticed I was burning more quickly through the gas I brought, which shoulda lasted me all day, but the last couple sessions I had to hit the track pumps.  Good times!

Blake, I haven't done it since I was younger than you, but I do remember it being painfully easy back then.  Just remember to scuff up the metal plates on concrete before putting it back together, and for sure get a manual.  I don't remember who makes them, but there's a manual for almost every bike for about $25 and they're very good for beginners.  Sure, an fsm is great to have, but unless you're going above the basic service work, an fsm isn't necessary.

HH, I think the yz80 went to inverted forks about 92 or 93, and they don't appear to have changed at any point, so I bet any inverted yz forks will work.  Do a check on the part # for early and late steering stem bearings on ronayers.com and see if they're the same.
RIP KYOTA

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

Give a man venison, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt Blacktail, he'll be frustrated for life!
