Welcome! I believe the difference is in the lower rev limit on the '86. The advance may also be different. This said, I believe the spark...
Would you consider selling the rotors separately? Thanks.
Nice to read on a Sunday morning. 500s are great bikes. Too often the naysayers have something in common...they have never owned one ;-)

Thanks TF3. I may have a few more questions for you as I dive into this upgrade ;-) One question to start, are the fork tubes on the YZF and the...
FYI, a few other differences on the '86. One of which is the radiator. IIRC, the '86 has a larger radiator and larger coolant hoses. I believe...
There is a difference in the fuel lines. The '86 petcock has a larger nipple and the fuel lines T at the carburetors. I believe the 'hot' setup...
